Woohoo Waikiki: Ah, this show... It makes me laugh so hard and then swoon just as hard. My heart went out to both Seo-jin and Jun-ki this week. That confession! And his first important role! I'm rooting hard for this couple.

The Great Seducer: Actually, I'm disappointed by how easily Tae-hee started liking Shi-hyun. For a suppossedly practical and jaded girl, she sure fall for him so fast. And that makes me wary about the writing. I'll see where the writer intend to go next week, but if it get more frustrating, I think I'll drop it.

My Ahjusshi: This is an interesting case where the writer has so much dramatic stuff going on in her script, but the PD portrayed everything with a more realistic, slice-of-life approach. And somehow, it ended up as a gritty and heart wrenching drama that reminded us that this seemingly too-painful-story is just another day in these characters' mundane life.

My Husband Oh Jak-doo: I decided to jump onto this train much earlier than I planned to. It's a perfect comfort-food-like drama. Predictable, but heartwarming and sweet. And the chemistry between UEE and Kim Kang-woo just sealed the deal. They are so adorable together.

Jumpin' jiminy! 😲 Somebody make me want to watch something, please!

The Great Seducer: An Pan-Seok should've directed this and Jung Sung-Joo should've written it. But Pretty Sister Who Buys Me Food already snatched him first.

My Ajusshi: So bleak, but I can't look away..yet.

Misty: Episode 15 broke my heart.

Watching only That Man Oh-soo and Mystery Queen 2 now. As a result I have time to enjoy the coming spring but instead of spring it started freezing and snowing here so give me more k-dramas so that I can stay in bed!

Misty: HyeRan-ah!!! Is it too much to say that I lost sleep last night waiting for spoilers because I can’t stop thinking about this drama?

Live: Will watch later tonight for Lee Kwang soo, our favorite Giraffe!

Okitegami Kyoko: Saw this in the Beanies wall and fell in love after the first episode.

Rewatching Running Man and Radiant Office for my heart’s sake.

Agree with you, @dramallama (side note -- in my head I always say "dramallama red pajama"). Waikiki is sitcommy but the production is really good. It reminds me of Three's Company. The main actors are committed to do whatever it takes, and I also appreciate that the many veteran actors who do cameos are willing to make fun of themselves and do ridiculous things. And on top of it all, Baby Sol is the master of reaction shots. It's my favorite show so far of 2018.

Watching

1. Mother: cant seem to finish episode 15&16... i mean everything was pretty much dealt with in 13 and 14. All thats left trying to spread out in 2 eps... meh

2. My Golden life: its sitting waiting for my boring days

3. Tempted: im hooked. The main woo do hwan is it? Dayum 😍😍😍. Also loving the gossip girlish feel

4. Jugglers: its so sweet. ❤

Am I the only one watching Shall We Kiss First? I can only describe it as darkly hilarious. It has all the aspects of melodrama: terminal illness, divorce, death of a child, along with the standard characters: bratty step-daughter, insecure second wife, controlling ex-wife, kind-hearted best friend, interfering ex-husband. And yet it stays fresh, with a quirky couple as the centerpiece, who cannot express their wants, and yet manage to provide each other with exactly what the other needs. Both feel unloved but are surrounded by friends and family who love them in their own crazy, meddling ways. The dialogue seemed a bit "wordy" at first, but has really settled into enjoyable repartee. This show keeps me laughing. It's a real gem.

Woohoo Waikiki: I was SO happy to have this show back this week. I have become so attached and I love looking forward to laughing to my heart’s content every week. Poor Joon-ki seeing Seo-jin as a little kid had me hollering, I thought it was so funny. And when the kid spoke with Go Won-hee’s voice I just about died. Also, Baby Sol stole the show this week and she somehow keeps getting cuter and cuter with each passing week. Keep on doing what you’re doing, Waikiki.

The Great Seducer: I almost fell asleep while watching one of this week’s episodes and that’s not a great sign. I feel like the show has some interesting things about it but I feel so bored while watching? Especially when the adult chaebols come on screen. They suck all the energy out of the show. Also, Tae-hee falling for Shi-hyun too fast made their dynamic a lot less interesting/fun than I thought it would be.

My Ajusshi: Oh, I am liking this so far. I love the tone of the show and how it’s bleak and stark but with some great subtle moments of black comedy thrown in. Most of the characters are deliciously amoral (in contrast to our kind, almost bland ajusshi) and I can’t wait to see where everything is headed. And Ji-an? Love love love. She’s already so fascinating and I can’t wait to learn more about her. This type of stoic character is hard to pull off without being boring but IU is doing such a great job so far and I find her so compelling. Here’s hoping this level of quality stays.

I’m SO excited for Pretty Noona next week. Every teaser makes me more and more excited and I’m ready to drown in the sweetness the promos are promising. Plus, who can resist Sohn Ye-jin? Add Jung Hae-in in the mix and there’s no way I’m missing out in this one.

My Ajusshi: The 90 minute first episode worked for me, but I'm hoping they keep close to an hour from here on out. I'm interested in the story but if it revolves around office politics too much, I might skip.

Radio Romance: Just a nice easy romance drama which was just what I needed.

The Great Seducer: Well, he didn't have to be too great; that was super easy. The pacing seems off unless this is a 12 episode drama.

Waikiki: I'm behind a few episodes but it's just fun.

Evergreen/That Man Oh Soo: Thinking about putting this on the backburner. I want more of the tree and that stuff, not a love triangle.

The Flame's Daughter: This is a bit different and I like it. Lee Joon Gi's action scene taking out the monks early in Scarlet Heart is my favorite k-drama action scene. This CDrama has my favorite action scenes in wuxia. Both Dilraba and Vic Chou have two separate great scenes. Her weapon of choice is a whip.

Woohoo Waikiki: At this point I pretty much already see this show going down as a legendary Korean comedy. And episode 12 was especially creative with the themes in it.

The Great Seducer: Cruel Intentions is one of my favorite movies and I still have the VHS around here somewhere. So I really started watching this just to see how they were going to Koreanize the story for non-cable tv. But it's been interesting so far and the trio acting is great. I actually don't think Joys acting is bad at all but Moon Ga-young's Soo-Ji can tell me to do anything and I'd probably do it.

My Husband Oh Jak-doo: I watched this just cause and didn't really expect much, but I actually like it alot and now look forward to it. Also Han Sun-Hwa is doing a good job in it. Usually female 2nd leads are just black voids of evil, but you can really see the pain and hurt she's feeling and can understand her a bit.

Misty: Well Misty is Misty, pretty much just edge of your seat drama. All I can ask for now is that the last two episodes don't make my heart stop.

Should We Kiss First: Now that they're finally on the same page and in a relationship I'm enjoying it more. Not like I disliked it before, it just felt like they were talking two different languages to each other and it was frustrating. I would like more scenes of his daughter and the coffee prince though. They're cute together and she fell so hard for him she should be checked for a concussion. While he has no idea what's her deal lmao.

Just started My Ajusshi, so jury is still out, but what I have watched I am liking so far. It has a strange sense of whimsy in a show so dark.

Woohoo Waikiki: Still keeping me laughing, but this weeks episode took me 3 days to finally finish. So it's losing a bit of that crack from before.

Should We Kiss First: A+ acting and a wonderful adult oriented storyline. We are beginning to see more sadness creeping in as each episode goes by, but the humor is still wonderfully there!

Waiting to hear the consensus on Misty to see if it is a worthy watch. Don't want to start a show only to be let down by a crap ending *cough* Hwayugi. Everyone says it's great, so...here's hoping. 🤞

After my golden life ended, I decided to try out the gentlemen of Wolgyeosu tailor shop and I ma glad I did, its a nice drama.
Been watching; Tempted, Evergreen, which is another name for That man Oh soo (two different names for the same drama??), Woohoo Waikiki, My husband Oh jak doo, The good witch(Ryu Soo young is hot in a pilot uniform), shall we kiss first and I tried to watch Marry me but I couldn't even finish the first episode, Might try it another time.....

Hello Beanies! Spring is here!😀 Although you really can't tell where I live since you can't see the seasons change. Our winter has been bipolar with really warm days and sometimes really cold nights. I didn't even get the chance to wear any of my scarves or warm jackets because I would overheat if I did. I shouldn't really be complaining though because I'm a weenie and I don't think I could deal with a snowy winter. So to all you still deep in snow, I wish you good health and hope for your safety!
This is what I watched this week:
*Waikiki: We are back to our regularly scheduled programming and it's still hilarious as ever. I clapped like a seal, like Jun-ki of course, when Seo-jin confessed to him and when he decided to give it a chance. Dong-gu keeps being a riot, but it's so sweet that he just wants to see Yoon-ah that he forgoes sleep. Of course, Doo-shik is a smarty pants and if they are going for a love line with Soo-ah I can see why because they spend a lot of time together. We got more baby Sol and she is the cutest!😍
*Radio Romance: RR came to an end and I was satisfied with the ending, especially since they gave us a lot of cute, romantic moments between our couple who were always the main reason why I kept watching.
*Evergreen: I’m still enjoying watching this drama. Jealous Oh-soo is cute and funny. I saw a comment somewhere that for someone who hasn't dated he sure is smooth!😁I want to see him and Soo-ri together already, but it looks like it might take a while.😣
*In order to make good use of my Viki subscription, I ventured into a Jdrama called Hours of My Life. It was about a man who gets diagnosed with ALS in his 20s and how he learns to live with it and the way it impacts his friends and family. It was really well done and my new-found soft heart allowed me to shed tears at the end.

Live: Just when I thought I'm the weird one that want to applaud him for restraining from doing the close-up shots.

I did enjoy the narrative in Live so far. Is it because I'm in the age for it? The assemble is great. Even though there might be an ass or two, I still find them likeable. One thing for sure, the premiere episode hit me hard like what Misaeng did. It makes me want to root for the rookies as hard as I did for Jang Geu Rae.

My Ahjusshi: Can we have more interaction between IU and Lee Seon-kyun, even better with the two ahjusshis as well? Also less office politics. The office politics stuffs make me want to zoom out. Even the chairman looks like a ray of sunshine compared to the war between his subordinates.

Radio Romance: Completed. I'm happy it ended but it won't stay long in my memory.

Grand Prince: ep 6. I'm curious to see what happens next !

Iron Ladies: ep 9. This week's episode was really cute. Just cute.

Live: ep 4. Keep being awesome, show ! Love Jung Oh !

Love Returns: ep 87. Some characters finally discovered other characters true identity ! Kim Haengja is too kind for letting Dr. Jeong out of jail.

Misty: ep 14. I loved all newsroom scenes. Han Ji Min showing respect to Go Hye Ran and GHR telling her News Nine is hers made me proud of them. I'm proud and even swooned at Director Jang saying he will protect his people in the newsroom ❤ About Kevin Lee's murder, I want the show to surprise me like it was announced.

My Ahjussi: ep 1. Really liked this first episode ! Acting, tone on
point !

My Husband, Oh Jak Doo: ep 6. My love for Jak Doo kept growing again. The CEO is so extravagant and so out of place that I kind of like him but can't take him seriously as a love rival. I mean he's against a Mountain Ahjussi, how can he beat that ? Eun Jo got on my nerves with her insensitive questions. Knowing Sunhwa is usually cast in the same kind of second female leads, she won't bring me empathy unless she starts to develop a friendship with Uee's character. That could be interesting.

Mystery Queen 2: ep 6. I guess last week episodes were there to introduce our new gang joining Ahjumma. At least give me more of my favorite Ahjumma-Detective next week !

Oh My General: ep 18. I knew the cousin was fishy !

Return: ep 24. Ja Hye suffered years ago but I can't root for her revenge. She went to the same level as the jerks she hates.

See You in Time: ep 13. I just want the main couple and the cycling team scenes because the brother is getting more and more on my nerves.

Shall We Live Together: ep 2. Glad to see Yeo Hoe Hyun on screen on weekends ❤ I'm quite intrigued by what happened between the father and his first love 30 years ago. Obviously they don't view their relationship in the same way. I'm happy to see the eldest daughter asking for divorce. It will be a long fight with her in-laws and I'm in ! The daughter in a secret office noona-dongsaeng romance has an immature boyfriend. If they really end up getting married, she will have a hard time.

Should We Kiss First: ep 12. Soon Jin cracks me up ! The contrast between Mu Han's earnest during the kiss and her thought was hilarious. When they were in the same bed was my favorite scene HAHA On a serious note, I didn't expect SJ and her ex husband to have lost a daughter. It brings even more heaviness to SJ's. And now she's lost her job.

Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms: ep 31. A-Li is so cuuute ! I love BW and YH the most in this timeline.

The Great Seducer: ep 8. I love the trio's friendship as much as Tae Hee and Kyung Joo's...

My current favorite :

My Ajusshi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like everything about it 😄

My Husband Oh Jak Doo ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jak Doo and Seung Joo are my favorite couple right now 💕

Mystery Queen S2 ⭐⭐⭐ I want to root for them as much as I did in season 1, but the mystery didn't really draw me in and the contract marriage couple has stolen Seol Ok and Wang Seung's spot in my heart 😁

Waikiki ⭐⭐ only came for the laugh and Jun Ki and Sol, the rest is quite meh

Grand Prince ⭐ I might have to drop it, as I have only watched until ep 2 and I didn't really have time to catch up. Actually, my limit is 2-3 dramas a week 😅

Radio Romance finished sweetly, but it was never about the story. It was always about Su-ho's development as a character.

The Great Seducer: There's something so Heirs like about this story but just a LOT darker?? I should not watch it and go down that angst-filled teenager ride again, but here I am :))).

My Husband Oh Jak-Doo: I am really liking this show. It's so charming, especially the main couple. It's a slow burn I think and low-key, but it's worth it.

My Ahjussi: I've already commented on this show but I have a feeling it'll be an ultimate fave at the end of it. I love it, and like @girlfriday said, IU is shining so much she goes catching our attention even more than Lee Seon Kyun.

Also, I can't believe Infinity Challenge is having the last episode tomorrow. TT__TT NOOOO

Just finished Tientsic Mystic and loved it. It more than satisfied my love for the supernatural genre.

Waiting for Grand Prince to finish to marathon the remaining eps. But don't know if I'll actually go through with it. My drama-watching is very unpredictable.

I've finally been able to pinpoint the kind of drama-watcher I am. I hate rom-coms but I'm always shipping characters in the dramas I watch.

Radio Romance Until it got mentioned, I had already forgotten it existed. Televisual fairy floss.

Evergreen I love me some magical realism so I was really looking forward to this. I was hoping for something delightful and heartwarming but found it pedestrian. Dropped after 6 eps.

Mystery Queen 2 After a shaky start, I'm really enjoying the second season of this even if I'm a bit bemused by its emphasis on exam study. Watching my Ahjussi drive to the mountains, clamber over earthquake damage and then hike to an isolated boarding house for his Ahjumma only to accuse her of following him around was just the kind of fun this show is so good at.

Misty Still amazing. 'Nough said.

Mother I've suddenly realised this is my Witch's Court for 2018. Everybody raves about it and I totally meant to live-watch it but didn't and now it's sitting there waiting for me to finally get to it but I still haven't. Maybe Easter?

iZombie and the Magicians Oh, wait, wrong website.

I feel like I'm all over the place. Out of this week's shows, Misty and Wahoo Waikiki are my favorites. Also watching The Great Seducer and That Mao Oh Soo.

misty: hopped onto this drama way later than everyone else so im at episode 8 and actively avoiding spoilers. side note can someone send me a tae Wook too? how can such a perfect husband exist? despite all of hye ran's faults he is still willing to stand by her.. must be a saint. I know I wouldn't be able to forgive my spouse for cheating thats for sure

woohoo Waikiki: crazy fun as usual and I wouldn't expect any less. jun ki seems highly uncomfortable in his new relationship though, maybe they should just keep the sibling relationship that they had from the start. it was so much better imo when things were innocent and they were just childhood friends that want the best for each other

great seducer: I might be dropping this one soon. I love woo do Hwan and his charisma on screen but every time joy appears it just breaks the drama flow. sorry joy I love you to bits in red velvet but acting wise she just pales so much in comparison to the others. and I find her character annoying.

I'm currently watching 'The Great Seducer', 'That Man Oh Soo', 'Father Is Strange' and 'Cheer Up/Sassy Go Go'.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about 'The Great Seducer'. First and foremost, the pacing and plot progression in this drama are really off. The scenes feel like they run into each other because the transitions are really abrupt. The relationships are also moving far too quickly. I thought Eun Tae-hee was supposed to be impervious to men? As it stands, she gave basically no resistance, and this in spite of some clear indications from the people the people around her that all is not as it appears with Kwon Shi-hyun. It seems like there's gonna be no seduction in 'The Great Seducer'. *Le Sigh*

With regard to the acting, it might be positively heretical of me to say this (it's okay, I've always wanted to be a heresiarch), but I'm not that impressed by Woo Do-hwan. I think he comes on too strong; sometimes Kwon Shi-hyun is 2-dimensional to the point of cringe-worthiness. I also don't find Shi-hyun's interactions with Choi Soo-ji all that compelling. There's something overwrought and surreal about their dynamic that makes it hard to buy. Part of it may have to do with the Machiavellian aspects of their relationship; when Se-joo's not around, it feels like I'm watching two psychopaths pretend they care for each other.

This dovetails into my general impression of Soo-ji's character. I don't like her. She's unlikable. Her motives are worthy of sympathy - wanting to stand by her absent father, wanting to protect her neglectful mother, wanting to be certain that Shi-hyun isn't cut from the same cloth as everyone else who's claimed to love her, etc. - but her actual behaviour is indefensible imo. That being said, huge kudos to Moon Ga-young; I think she inhabits the character pretty well, unsympathetic though the character may be.

Joy's acting is meh. It's not bad - I think people are seriously exaggerating with the critiques - but she's nothing exceptional. That being said, I do find some of the interactions between Tae-hee and Shi-hyun cute, especially when Tae-hee is resisting Shi-hyun or when Shi-hyun is pouting. Again, I might be alone in liking Tae-hyun more than Soo-hyun.

Moar Min-jae! Please.

'That Man Oh Soo' continues to be meh except for Kim So-eun and I continue to regard 'Father Is Strange' as nothing than sweet diversion. I'm only one episode into 'Cheer Up/Sassy Go Go', but I have a strong strong strong feeling I'll like this (I've watched about 10 minutes of youtube clips between the main couple and they are so damn cute! Kim Won-geun's awesome!). I also finished up watching 'The Best Hit' today (law school exams are fast approaching, so I'm in the 'But I don't wannnnaaa' phase of studying where half my time is spent procrastinating by watching dramas). I didn't love the ending - I'm just such a sucker for Kim Min-jae and I was really hoping Ji-hoon would end up with...

Watching:
Radio Romance I had pretty much the same opinion as everybody else.
Waikiki :)
Mystery Queen 2 Will they ever stop cramming and get around to be big case-of-the-season sometime or are they just going to tease it for season 3?
My Ajusshi Had a hard time getting thru ep 1. Might try 2 anyway because of all the positive comments. And I like watching shows that are recapped.
Live I spend half the week waiting for it to be subbed.
My Husband Oh Jak-doo and That Man Oh-soo These two are pretty much "if I get around to them" while I'm waiting for Live to be subbed.

Others:
Great Seducer Dropped partway thru ep 1. I've seen enough of rich people being obnoxious in every other kdrama ever.
Grand Prince Couldn't even make myself start. The world doesn't need shows about princely love rivalries more than about once a decade.

I guess this is the time to confess that I always thought the Mystery Queen male lead was played by Kim Kang-woo. I would still think it if That Man Oh Man-soo hadn't happened to air at exactly the same time!

Mystery Queen 2: I love how the most recent case takes us to a live-in test prep institute in the middle of nowhere. It's a setting that you don't really see in kdrama mysteries. The Sherlock Holmes/Agathie Christie influence feels much stronger this season and I'm eating it up. I'm having a lot of fun and I actually don't mind that the cases aren't set up to take up a regular hour. It felt really odd when Criminal Minds-K did it, but not here. I'm happy to see Wan-seung get kicked out of Team 1 (all those Team 1 characters are such a drag! Please get rid of them.) and be a part of Inspector Woo's new team.

Woohoo Waikiki: Dong Gu not accepting Yoon-ah's rejection frustrated me, but I loved this set of episodes. The writer is a genius for turning out so many ridiculous moments and hilarious characters - Soo-ah's brother, the Gonggi competition, the longwinded announcer, the hard-of-hearing friend, Dooshik's Bruce Lee moves actually working, and the way Junki keeps seeing Seo Jin as a little girl (the timing of his spit-takes with the claps in Uhm Jung Hwa's "Invitation" was gold!)

Should We Kiss First: The drama is good at keeping it light, but as an anxious person, I really felt the weight of the angst by episode 20. I could take the cancer. Even though I suspected MH's involvement with SJ's daughter's death, having it confirmed - even though the connection was that he coldheartedly refused to help SJ with her lawsuit regarding her daughter's death- really adds to the angst. I may have to put it on pause until more episodes are out.

My drama watching hit a bump in the road this week. The casualties were The Great Seducer and Should We Kiss. I'm not sure if the knock on my head made Kim Kang Woo looked extra swoony. I've always like him but I am in love 😍with Mountain Ajusshi.

Mountain Ajusshi Oh Jak Doo is husband goal! He even dethroned Tae Wooky. I don't know if I can live on a rocky mountain with noisy hens and ahjummas clucking. Wifi seems to be working so it aint too bad.
Uee in this reminds me of her role in Ojakgyo Brothers. I've never had problems with her, I simply avoided all the duds she was in.
She has good chemistry with Kim Kang Woo. They are so cute together.

Waikiki Dong Gu trying to keep awake was the funniest ever. So was Jun Ki struggling with 'little girl' Seo Jin and Dong Gu's petty jealousies. Too much hilarity in one show. There must be lots of laughter on set because Baby Sol kept smiling and laughing.

Misty I haven't watched ep 15 but do I really need to worry about Tae Wook? Since we are expecting the unexpected then he should be safe, no?

My Ajusshi I don't mind dark shows as long as the substance is there. What I dislike are shows pretending to be dark but it's more like the dark is due to the hollow shell. I've only watched the first episode and this looks promising, I hope it delivers.

What's up with Should We Kiss First? I haven't got round to watching the latest eps despite loving it so far. Me avoiding terminal illness trope is one. The other is that I can't fathom why Mu Han would keep his condition from Soon Jin? If he already knows how much pain she's in, does he want to inflict more on her? Maybe some kind soul can explain it to me or was this addressed in the latest eps?

The Great Seducer - I hate to admit it but I think I'm just not that excited about Shi Hyun falling in love with Tae Hee and vice versa. If there is a lot more going on than that, I might continue.
Maybe the show struggled with writing the character Tae Hee. Perhaps, I'm the one who has problem with the character, I don't know.

Me? Nothing. I kind of watched "still, marry me", just because I wad curious about the friendship.... following @fatcat007 suggestion. But I fast forwarded a lot. So... It doesn't count.

I am simply waiting for the pretty noona. My ajusshi calls my attention as well, but I read both recaps and it seems too dark for my taste now. Although I may fall for it anyway.
Wanted to watch misty, but I had no time. Waiting for the finale, and if the beanies say it was worth it until the end, then I may try to make room for it.
