I've noted down the name of the writer of THE GHOST DETECTIVE, Han Ji-wan, so that I can NEVER WATCH ANYTHING WRITTEN BY THEM AGAIN. That is all.

- Completed -

A-Teen: Even with frustrating characters and problems skipped over, I enjoyed it. I think the last episodes shouldn't have existed or been better handled.

Chihayafuru: Part 3: I'm sad to know that was the last part in movies and satisfied with the ending. The acting and the cinematography really left a good impression on me. I'm going to read the manga when I have time.

Just One Bite: It's written season 1 on youtube so I hope the second season will come out !

Gintama 2: I didn't actually watch the movie but the three episodes "TV show". I laughed at the Dragon Ball parody because of the costumes XD God that was like bad cosplay but since it's a comedy it's not a problem.

Kids on the Slope: I loved that the movie was about jazz and friendship. I would have been happier without the complicated one-sided loves but well, we can't have evrything. The last part was rushed and the main girl was more used as a plot device to get to the finale scene BUT I still liked it. Both male leads performances were great and the OST is so good !

- Currently watching -

100 Days My Prince: My biggest worry is how the plot will wrap up ?

Bad Papa: There was only episode this week. Finally, Sung Joo found out Min Woo was behind her book's publishing and sales. It's a big insult to her work and her reaction was satisfying. Daughter stays awesome !

Dae Jang Geum is Watching: Never in my life have I thought that I would listen to Shin Dong Wook's rap. Rap with food, yes !

Hide and Seek: I was grinning when Psycho Grandma discovered that Yeong Joo IS Soo Ah. I feel kind of bad for Yeong Joo's mom (even if keeping her away from her family is a crime), she still took care of her as if she were one of daughter.

Miss Ma, Nemesis: I suspected the ex-husband to behind the daughter's kidnapping. Ms Ma threatened him of telling the police about his embezzlement if she can't have custody.

Manpuku: I feel like Kajitani, Tachibana's partner who went on the run, will come out later in the series. For now, he and Fukuko are finally married !

Matrimonial Chaos: Ma Roo ! I love her scene with her ex-boyfriend ! The divorce party with all women dancing looked like ghosts dancing in the rain. Doesn't sound flattering but who cares they were having so much ! I love Yoo

Player: It's been a while since I saw anything with Wang Ji Hye. I may enjoy the guest appearances more than the storyline with Harry.

Room No.9: Okaaay. Chairman Ma's death doesn't shock me. This guy was a pervert and Hae Yi is really wicked ! Hwa Sa (in HY's body) seems to be always surrounded by death.

Terius Behind Me: Can the main couple have a nose kiss already ? It's my first time wanting to see one that bad. What did you do to me, show !

The Beauty Inside: I like Do Jae's step-sister more and more. Eun Ho moved...

As Beanies who visit Fan wall frequently know I can’t stop talking about Hundred Million Stars From The Sky because the drama is blowing my mind away. I’ve been watching k-dramas over a decade and just like My Ahjussi 100MSFTS feels completely different than any k-drama I’ve watched (both dramas are from the same production company).

But unlike My Ahjussi that was a deep humane drama with a happy ending 100MSFTS feels like a true tragedy. The tension present in every scene is unsettling, an uneasy feeling like something bad is about to happen. Everything about this drama is top notch - from the directing, cinematography to acting and writing. Especially the dialogues between MY and JK are quite amazing.

Can we talk about their first kiss and how the PD decided to choose that unusual angle? Did anybody else find it odd that they chose to obstruct MY’s face during a close up scene of their kiss? Could it be that we as audience were supposed to only know how JK felt during that moment?

Looking at the heroes of the shows I am watching:
100 Days My Prince: haughty prince who keeps telling his wife to obey…CUTE
The Beauty Inside: face blindness chaebol with confusing communication style…HOT
Hundred Million Stars: manipulative and vindictive sociopath….SEXY

I hate myself sometimes.

Would Twelve Nights make me love myself again?

100 Days My Prince:
Too little too late: there was a lot of potentially good arcs that were shown this week that should have started much earlier, such as Je Yoon’s indecision between loyalty and love (could have potentially teased him switching to the dark side!) and Crown Princess’ outburst (it would be great had the Crown Couple teamed up fighting the common enemy that is Evil Minister!). It seems the show forgot about the King after his mini rebellion arc as well as the Queen faction in the palace: the Ming Envoy arc really wasted screen time since Eunuch Yang ended up becoming the critical trigger.

Fox Bride Star:
I do find it weird that the show is using extras for arcs that could have been given to the cast members instead. Cases in point: the ‘homeless’ man’s (for once I hope we go against the undercover CEO trope but we’ll see) advice to the female lead could have been easily given by the Eun Sub, Dae Ki or even Young Joo, while the sly employee’s rumours could have been spread by Manager Kong: the trigger was even in the episode with male lead failing to get the lounge. It seems like the past will be dragged out (hopefully there will be good twists) while we wait for the romance to bloom.

The Ghost Detective:
There’s still one more episode left but the show will already go down as one of the most disappointing ones I’ve ever seen, mainly because the second half just consisted of ‘take down Sun Woo Hye!’ and nothing else. I really wished that we got a more solid motivation for Sun Woo Hye’s murderous streak, maybe something like her being abused in the hospital managed by the CEO and her taking revenge on all those who ignored her (think kindergarten or maybe even the lawyer). Oh well, if I was to write the script I would definitely have to think of all those stupid intrusive PPLs as well.

the ghost detective: a mess. it is basically following in W’s footsteps, in terms of the promising start and the terrible second half. but park eunbin, lee jooyoung, lee jiah, choi daniel and the entire cast is ridiculously hot, I am physically unable to stop watching it.

terius: less of a mess. the humour is on point and the twins are adorable as usual, but the whole spy plot is getting nowhere. the dynamics between everyone and jin youngtae is so unrealistic and the fact that the plot is a loophole itself doesn’t help. can we just have an episode dedicated to the KIS and another entirely focussed on the twins and sjs?

I'm behind on everything (and yet there's other stuff out right now I'm tempted to pick up) , but here goes nothing.

Beauty Inside: I kind of want this not to be a romance? Don't get me wrong, the romance is fine, but I much prefer watching the Misadventures of a Body Changing Actress.

Fox Bride Star: I'm reluctant to catch up with this one, mainly because I don't want Lee Dong-gun to be a villain. I just want him to be like he was in Wolgyesu - a clumsy marshmallow who knows nothing but love. Is that to much to ask??

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes: Uggggggh, why so awesome?? I don't have enough free time to be watching and rewatching this!

Twelve Nights: Okay, this is everything I wanted Third Charm to be, and more, because the supporting characters here are just as interesting as the main couple and it has a melancholy air to it that's just beautiful!

Shining Inheritance: Rewatching for, oh I don't know, the billionth time?

100 Days My Prince: it’s nearing the end and it’s time for the bad guys to pay up. Hopefully. And let the leads get their happy ever after. 💪🏻💪🏻👸🏻🤴🏻❤️

Because I’m so bored sitting here in Slumpland, watching some oldies:

House of Bluebird episode 40. Lesson of this drama is do not keep secrets from your family, and do not walk up to your enemies and reveal all your evidence to them. Good grief. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My Princess: episode 12. Why am I watching this again? Princess lets herself be manipulated by conniving female second lead. Again. I think I am cursed by episodes 12 - I tend to drop dramas there lately 😰.

Chicago Typewriter: Watched episode 1 and about halfway through the next episode. Intriguing plot but not caring much for any of the characters.

Matrimonial Chaos: Watched episode 3. It’s fine.

Naughty Boy: Watched episode 1. Seems a bit cliche.

The Player: Watched episodes 5-6. The show I’m most enjoying out of the batch of currently airing.

Twelve Nights: Watched episode 2. I’m not sure if they have chemistry or not or if it’s just Shin Hyun Soo creating it. Either way, his character is kind of dreamy. Not a fan of the female lead’s character. Still.

Where Stars Land: Watched episodes 10-14. Excited to see the background of Soo-yeon and his devoting relationship with Yeo-reum. But that’s it. It’s borderline starting to be a hate watch for me.

You Drive Me Crazy!: Watched episode 1. Cute.

Non-Korean Dramas

Ashes of Love: Watched episode 3. Honestly, the CGI in this is great. Not much has happened in terms of the romance, which is what I’m looking most forward too. And a part of me is hung up on how long it is.

Nothing K-drama related is really grabbing me lately.

I am not a regular in the "What we're watching" threads because of long era of repeated drama slumps almost since these threads started!
Even now I am currently watching (and re-watching) just one show but that show is enough to make me feel that excitement I had while watching kdramas again! And no, it's not even a fluffy cute one that I associate with kdramas but a really twisted one!

Beanies who see fan wall posts must be aware of which drama I am talking about- Hundred Million Stars.

It's so unexpected, enigmatic and almost creepy one! The actors are doing a brilliant job, the plot is solid and I don't know what to expect from this any more! I know almost nothing about the male lead and this usually would be a turn off in a drama but here it just keeps making me fall even deeper into this!

Other things I am watching:
Dancing High- It started off so well but kinda lost steam! It would have been better as a longer well- conceptualized show. I guess KBS was just trying out the format right now but so much wasted variety potential!

NJTTW5- Its hilarious, as expected! I die laughing watching it but I am not reaching for the next episode like I used to in earlier seasons. I dunno what is missing (other than Kyuhyun) and I actually love everyone who is a part of this (Mino-Pyo bromance and Lee Soo Geun being my fav) but I don't feel the same draw this time.

Currently watching
The third charm: showing the ugly sides of relationships

The guest: watched till ep 10. Will binge watch when the last two eps release next week

Legal V: entertaining like the doctor series. Good enough for a watch after a tiring day.

Chugaksei Nikki: okay this show has surpassed my expectations. I am not big into student X teacher relationships but this show has me hooked. Gave it a chance after the post on mydramlist and then seeing 8.8 rating with the comments praising the show tremondously. A love story between a 15yr old and a 25yr old. The story hints at the beginning that they don't end up together but the complex relationships with the fiance and his Bisexual manager make it very interesting. If you are bored or looking for a new show give this one a chance. You may be pleasantly surprised.

100 days my prince - I got my bromance! Even though it's pretty late, I have to applaud JY's cheekiness. He's pulling the CP's Legs!As far as VP and his family is concerned, I want the son to come out of this unharmed. Also JY- please see that Ae wol is still waiting for you!
Ghost Detective - What should've been done 2 episodes ago, finally happened. I'm annoyed I've to wait another week to finish it.
The guest - I hope Park il do possesses his beloved great niece so that we can get rid of 2 evils at the price of one exorcism.
Terius Behind me -Perfect foil to GD and The guest. I hope the show continues to be light and funny.
Player - I'm a bit bored. It seems like the typical revenge drama. The only thing keeping me invested is the group's banter.
12 nights - I'm liking the quiet, subtle tone of this.
Bon Voyage - Jin is missing Yoongi...
Guardian - My first C- drama. It's sometimes confusing, but the 2 guys are amazing (also very Hot). I hope Zhao discovers the identity of his friend soon. It's hard to see shen wei holding back and having such a huge burden all by himself.
