I’ve been busy this week! So I focused on the finales and didn’t have enough time to catch up on Fox Bride Star. So many premieres upcoming this month ... will be tough choosing what to watch.

100 Days My Prince:
The ending really highlights how romance and palace politics don’t mesh together well, as multiple arcs flop: Queen faction got tamed offscreen and brought back just for the finale (the poor actors), Minister Kim got killed so easily (well at least there’s more than one arrow this time round) and most importantly we had a last minute noble idiocy move by the female lead (the chase for her acceptance by the male lead was frankly pointless dragging to fill up the screen time). I’m glad though that the acting brought in great ratings for the show: the bonuses will be well deserved.

The Ghost Detective:
As a response to the tease in the last episode: no, I don’t think I want a season 2 of this show featuring a replica of Sun Woo Hye. Throughout the finale, I was laughing in disbelief at the things that happened: Sun Woo Hye just leaves peacefully after a talk (I’m amazed that the male lead was able to convince her), Yi Rang just appears out of nowhere (was she hiding? was she watching over her sister? we’ll never know) and Da Il just cheats death for yet another time (Mr Han’s reaction just sums it all up). Random police ops team is random: too bad for the CEO, he had no screen time!

Both 100 Million Stars and Where Stars Land are playing with my poor heart this week. How can I be wholeheartedly happy for those couples when I'm in perpetual state of waiting for the other shoe to drop? Am I ready to deal with the consequences next week??

I kinda dropped Terius Behind Me. I know it's a show that's all fluff and doesn't take itself seriously, but when *I* stopped taking them seriously, I couldn't bring myself to continue watching

So right now, all I'm watching is Fox Bride Star . Lee Soo-yeon and Han Yeo-reum are sooooooo cute!!

But this week, I wanted to smack Soo-yeon for not thinking ahead and doing what's best in the present (allowing himself heal) so that he'll be well on the long-term. I understand why patients do this, but I have no patience for it because the opportunity cost is never worth it.

Ghost Detective : Mtcheeeeew.

100 million is all i got to watch this week as i near exam week and it's got my heart and soul!

Only watching Where Stars Land(18/32) for drama. Cliffhangers for both episodes this weeks are about Soo-Yeon's disability. There are only(?) 14 episodes left, hopefully the plot won't be rushed in the end.

The "sudden" change of New Journey to the west from season 5 to 6 is quite surprising(?), and tomorrow's episode is stated as episode 1 of season 6 on tvN's schedule.

It seems different without Kim ji-Suk on Problematic Men. However, it is nice to see Park Kyung to overcome his slump and answered questions then promoting Top Star Yoo Baek.

Terrible Ghost Drama: FINALLY ITS DONE! Time to forget this show, and hope park eun bin has developed a better eye for dramas / aoy3.
Cute Kids +KIS show: We had like less than 5min of kiddy showtime per episode this week, @ pd/writers: you know you can do better than that. The whole spy plot is confusing, possibly because i tuned out for far too long, though to be fair it was pretty boring. Jin Young Tae is getting on my nerves pretty bad, aaand handsome hitman better not hurt the leader of KIS.

@mary, Matrimonial Chaos. A bit long winded compaed to the J version and Eita’s character was a bit quirkier, overall though I’m enjoying the show. Enjoying Bae Doo-na’s performance. Son Seok- Koo has played two roles originally played by Gou Ayano. The boyfriend in Mother and the cheating husband in Matri

Hundred Million Stars from the Sky: wow holy moly what a show. Ep 10 gave us long overdue cuteness and loveliness but it seems shortlived judging on the ep 11 preview with more emotional angst due.

Surprised Jin-kang knows Jin-kook isn't her brother.

Wish this shoe had better ratings but I guess it is too dark for people.

And I pray to god Jin-kang and Moo-young aren't siblings... I will never forgive the writer if they are 😠😡

The Smile has left your eyes is killing me at the moment! I have never been this mesmerised by a show to this extent! The chemistry between JSM and SIG sizzles and I feel like an intruder watching their quiet intimate scenes.

Where Stars land is another one which is taking over my heart! I am watching it all because of the sugar coated nice guy hero that I am sure we all love! I feel very protective towards him like a mama bear and wish him nothing but pure undiluted happiness.

Mary’s sister only watched 3 episodes of Healer in a year? And I thought my monthly drama club was slow to watch dramas, watching one episode a month! It took over a year for us to finish Goblin! And we’re only on the 3rd episode of Buamdog Revenge Club!

Aside from The Guest, I'm only watching IZ*ONE Chu as my happy pill, I need something light and cute to ease the stress from the dark OCN drama.. I guess I won't watch any current drama and just wait for the next batch of November dramas..

100 Days My Prince: Sad that it's over because I love the cast. The drama wasn't without flaws, especially in its final quarter, and I wish I could change some stuff (Mooyeon and Minister Kim's deaths, Hongshim's weird sudden noble idiocy) that happened. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and I'd be lying if I said this drama hasn't made me fall in love with Kyungsoo and Jihyun. I'm going to miss them and the whole Songjoo village family!

The Third Charm: Eh. I love Seo Kangjoon and I love Esom, but Doctor Third Wheel is really rubbing me the wrong way, it's been difficult to watch. I think I'm going to drop this and stick to reading the recaps.

I watched episode 1 of Matrimonial Chaos, but I'm not sure if I'll keep going. Maybe I'll give ep 2 a try and see how I feel.

Have a great week beanies!

This week I feel so let down by dramas I currently watch.
Terius Behind Me with luckluster plot is bearable but when it's starts lucking in fluff what there to care about?
The Guest after strong run the last episode were strongly meh, if villain need to explain whole plot in the last episode, writer should go and reflect on his ability to screw up story so much, on the upside, characters writing were impeccable and the cast were stellar, I hope we see more Kim Dong Wook in dramas, he was truly amazing (although I started watching for Jae Wook, credits where credit's due).
Million Stars..., the sudden romance left me cold and bothered, and I can't find in myself to care for happy ending for sociopath.

100MSFTS has taken over my life. I can’t seem to focus on any other drama...

I was one of those who wanted the story to be tragic to epic proportions but after episode 10 I take it back!

Matrimonial Chaos: Absolutely loving this show. It makes me feel for the characters. I connect so much to these people. I love how quirky turns to deep philosophies in a short time. I just love this show. And Bae Doo Na - what a phenomenal actress. When she cries I feel like my eyes are getting wet ( and I hardly cry watching dramas).

I still haven't found this week's Manpuku episodes subbed.

- Completed -

100 Days My Prince: It felt like the show wanted to give a happy rom-com ending for the leads and decided to conclude the face off with the Prime Minister as fast as possible. It disappointed in that aspect since I wanted to take more pleasure seeing the Big Villain fall.

A Day: It's a thriller starring Kim Myung Min and Byun Yo Han who repeat the same day to save their daughter and their wife. The concept has been done over and over again and here it's clearly the acting and the characters who have regrets and try to fiy their mistakes who make this a good movie.

On Your Wedding Day: A recent Kmovie starring Kim Young Kwang and Park Bo Young. It was a nice movie full of laughter, tears and warmth. Both leads had great chemistry. The ending was obvious but it didn't tarnish the journey. It is a coming of age and rom-com movie.

Marmalade Boy: I knew nothing about the synopsis before starting so I was pretty disturbed with both divorced couples who lived together, the student-teacher relationship, the faux-incest relationship and the reveal at the end. It sure was... something !

The Ghost Detective: I deserve a cookie for finishing this drama.

The Guest: This show played with me til the end. About Park Il Do... it's coherent as the superior spirit he represents so I'm satisfied with the ending.

Welcome to Heal Inn: I randomly saw this drama's poster on mydramalist and it looked nice
. Girl group fromis9 released a 6 episodes webdrama on their vlive channel. It's a healing drama that involves cooking. I recommend to watch it at night after a hard day.

- Currently watching -

Bad Papa: Once again only one episode aired this week. I didn't expect to have a focus on Sun Joo. She already knew Ji Cheol, admired him even before meeting him and eventually fell in love with him. For the first time, I felt empathy for her. It hurts to see how she went from admiring and being inspired by Ji Cheol and boxing to the hurtful events after the match against Min Woo and their married life turned sour. Speaking of Min Woo, how can he be that delusional ? He and Sun Joo never dated and he was the only one in an unrequired love. How good it felt when she told him she and Ji Cheol will never divorce ? Take that Min Woo ! And Ji Cheol in the empty house was so sad ! I believe his wife and his daughter will join him soon.

Dae Jang Geum is Watching: I liked this week's episode less because we spent more time with the office and the romance.

Fluttering Warning: I still don't knoe what to think. There's nothing new but I want to keep watching for the cast.

Hide and Seek: Each character did at at least one wrong thing in the past or in the present. I can't entirely root for someone so I'm patiently waiting for the final.

Matrimonial Chaos: I'm glad...

I signed up for something dark and twisty and tragic, so Hundred Million Stars From The Sky better take it all the way. Give me longing. Give me death. Don't half ass it. Don't you dare give them romantic happy ending. I'm warning you.

I don't know the original, but I only know the ending is not happy. I want the same for this remake. But Kdramas tend to mess up their ending by choosing the safe route. I'm hoping this show would be an exception.

I was away for a 2 weeks island trip and missed A LOT of episodes of currently watched dramas. The only one I managed to watch was Matrimonial Chaos and 2d1n. The Gutaeng Hyung memorial episode left me in a bundle of tears. He’s such a good man, loved by many, gone too soon.

I’m gonna have to catch up soon with the rest of the dramas soon. If only I have the time. 😔

The Beauty Inside - the story has progressed to a point where I can't miss an episode. All the things that annoyed me are fading away...
I might not be in love, I'm definitely in like a lot...!

Fluttering Warning - silly waste of time. Perfect for mindless entertainment. I just hope that the leads aren't overwhelmed by embarrassment.

I hope to watch more dramas as time becomes available... *sigh*

100 Days My Prince: the actors are top-notch, the cinematography is just so beautiful, especially the barley field and the bamboo forest, but the editing and plot not so much. However, I just love the villagers and the OTP so much, so of course I wasn’t happy with that last minute noble idiocy. Wae writer-nim? Wae you keep our OTP mostly apart in the last episode? Wae??? 😫😫

Terrius Behind Me: all caught up. This show is best not taken seriously to ensure my enjoyment factor is at the maximum. Sometimes it’s good not to think too hard about the plot and just enjoy the ride (in the blue sports car of course).

Fox Bride Star: another show that I’m all caught up. Some scenes were just too painful to watch and make my blood boil, like the abuse the airport employees had to put up with, and not only that, your superior siding with the horrid customers without hearing your side of the story or even bothering to investigate the incident properly and just assume you are wrong. So Mr Choi Moo-Ja, the security team manager, has my total respect when he stood up for his abused employees. Bravo!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Looking forward to catching up on the Million Hundred Stars ⭐️

Gosh @mary LOLOL, love your post ie your take on being possessed or possessing others!! Being possessed by your ghost doesn't sound half bad! 😇

The Guest: ... And I like to think that if something happens to me, my tsundere friends will band together with a handsome priest and heroically dunk me in a tub of holy water to save my soul.

Fox Bride Star: ... If I die from the cute, I’m gonna come back and start possessing people. My victims will turn into squeeing souls obsessed with puppies, kitties, and other cute things that resemble Lee Soo-yeon and Han Yeo-reum. You’ll have to exorcise me by chasing me around with a matchmaking vacuum robot. (Or a hot priest. I’m not a picky ghost.)

- 😂 I volunteer to be your online tsundere friend. I've got a bathtub, and I even know a hot priest!! 😂

100 days my prince- The last 2 episodes could've been a lot better.
ghost detective- the ending doesn't make sense, but then it stopped making sense long ago, so just glad it's over.
the guest- little disappointed by the reveal, but glad by the way things turned out. A bit confused regarding HP, but if there's a possibility of a 2nd season, I'm all for it.
guardian- @giegie0384 @newso, @pakalanapikake,
still enjoying it. But I'm a little bit bothered by the editing. The scenes shift rapidly. Also the subs are not exactly proper I guess.
player- finally 'that person' was revealed. I haven't seen ep 10 yet, but seems like the big game is finally starting.

3 Nov 2018 - What I'm watching from the most compelling to the most meh (to me).
Will Watch ASAP
The Guest – I've completed the series. Phew!! Last time I wrote 2 weeks ago, I said "I'm beginning to think it's too much to ask that everyone we like who is now alive stays alive." So I'm actually amazed that we have the ending that we do, and that it does not feel like a cop out, or forced or illogical.
Best things about the show:
- the girl is levelheaded, is consistently smart, capable, can protect herself and others and yet willingly accepts help without becoming a wimp
- the exorcisms which were scary, touching, compelling …
- the winsome threesome who had each others' backs the whole time, although they came from 3 different backgrounds and approached the same thing in 3 different ways.

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes - The Jin Gook tale needs to be fleshed out a lot more. The secrets we can only guess at (but we're quite sure we're right) makes this a more twisted tale than expected, and it's not because of the possibly sociopathic Moo Young, but because of the 'normal', lovable big bro.

Where Stars Land/Fox Bride Star - I can see the fallout happening right away when Soo Yeon refused to admit that his limb support devices can malfunction. If that happened in a situation that required quick action for the safety of others, it could have dire consequences. And our rather scattered Yeo Reum suddenly realises that she's almost dating someone she knows too little about. It's going to be a difficult episode coming up, but still so great to watch. Would be better sans In Woo who does nothing for me except irritate. He really should start his growth arc like 2 weeks ago.

Terius Behind Me – This show goes from ridiculous laugh out loud zaniness to nail-biting suspense, with warm family cuteness in between. The last episode had less of the funny but maybe the plot to catch those baddies gets a move on, while our intrepid KIS come under attack. (Side note: I thought that the killer walking around the carpark with gun held openly was just asking for trouble with the many car cameras around him!)

12 Nights - Creeping in slowly to my must-watch-now list, with a nice nuanced emotional undertone, that gives the different relationships a unified feel. It's pleasant to be watching people slowly figure out what gives them meaning, and take the steps to go for it. The only tension comes from show leaving the main OTP relationship in a strange limbo of no contact when apart. We're all going to be filled with hope and wistful longing each time one of those 12 nights comes around.

Matrimonial Chaos - So good. You constantly wonder what in the world is going through all of the main characters' minds when they make decisions.

My Secret Terrius - I've only watched this week's first episode and half of the second one. As always, loads of fun!

The Ghost Detective - Um, sounds awful, but perhaps if tragedy had struck everyone, we could perhaps then say things ended on an interesting note?

Behind on the week's episodes of Room No. 9 and Player ..... but I'm trying to catch up!!

Take care everyone and have a great weekend!

Fox Bride Star: Behind.

Beauty Inside: Behind, but I watched the Kim Min-suk episode today. Can't stress how much fun that was!

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes: It's getting squicky, and I don't know if I can take it!

Twelve Nights: Okay, what witchcraft is the writer using to have each episode set over one day without anything ever feeling slow or unnecessary? Why isn't this drama on a mainstream broadcast station where it will get the attention it deserves??

Chugakusei Nikki: I like that it reminds me of Majo no Jouken, but I have no idea why I'm supposed to like the characters yet.

On Your Wedding Day: It's an all-around solid film, but probably not one I'll rave about. Although, I do appreciate watching a love story that didn't end happily for them - South Korea is so oversaturated with happily-ever-afters, it's quite refreshing to see something like this.

Ashes of Love C drama and the only drama I'm watching now.
The pattern is becoming familiar. I get into a kdrama slump and then I pick up a C drama, hopefully to be consumed by it. If it works, it should last me a while because you know, C dramas have so maaaaaany episodes. During my previous slump, I binge Story of Yanxi Palace. Now, I am hooked on the Daffy Grape and Hot Phoenix.

I must confess Deng Lun didn't struck me as particularly handsome when I first saw his pictures. That was when the drama was being broadcast and there were tons of raving fangirls. I kind of blame his wig, I dislike the way they do his fringe. There were rare occasions when His Majesty hair was a little unkempt, fringe side swept instead of parted in the middle. Gosh, he looked instantly double the hotness!

Much of the humor between the couple is because Daffy Grape is largely immune to his His Majesty's hotness while he falls for her quirkiness and charms very quickly. I am now at the part where they are in the mortal realm. I love that Daffy Grape calls the majestic phoenix a crow. This cuteness aren't going to last long, is it?

Maybe it's the time of the month or something, I keep wanting the couples in the drama to make babies.

The final verdict on Ghost Detective: road kill. It was bad enough that the writer did not explain any of the ghost rules. But then to treat to human and spirit interactions so inconsistently was criminal. And speaking of crimes, the final episode being a clip show with a sudden “new (unsolved) mystery” in the last three minutes was a viewer face slap requesting a ill-formed second season like Queen of Mystery. And speaking of insults, when Yeo-Wool said she spent a year in the United States with no money, how could she come back to Korea without her house being lost to foreclosure? It was the little details that lacked even the simplest common sense that led to so many holes that the scripts turned into gerbil bedding.

The only redeeming aspect of the show were the performances of Woo-Hye by actresses Lee Ji-Ah and Heo Jung-Eun. They brought a reserved, creepy evil to their character intensity that the other cast members could not match.

100 MILLION: Just like everybody else apparently, and for good reason. It's the only really good drama right now. And please, I too WANT NO, NO, NO SPOILERS!!!
LOVE ALERT: Oh, dear. So so bad. Badly written, badly directed. The only good thing is Chung Jung myeon. The first episode was full of exposition in your face, no subtlety there at all. And I can always tell when a drama is bad by the color of lipstick the female lead wears. I feel sorry for the actors. The 2nd episode was actually worse than the first.
ORIENTAL ODYSSEY: So bad it's good. It's campy. It doesn't take itself too seriously so it's kind of fun. And the lead male (kinda like a Tarzan) is quite easy to look at.
EVER NIGHT: C-drama just started and wow does it look good. I even watched the first two episodes raw and waiting for Viki to sub it.
Other than that, just bits and pieces of things I've watched before.

The daily makjang fest called "Sunny Again Tomorrow" wrapped up yesterday (after 121 half hour episodes). Like most times after watching these type of dramas, I was left wondering if the theme the production was trying to push was "crime pays". The villains in this drama (a mother & daughter team) did everything in their power to keep their niece/cousin from being reunited from her rich mother (so that they could end up with her money). Nothing was beyond this pair, including lying, kidnapping and attempted murder. Their crimes continued for almost the entire drama and when finally exposed the pair blamed everyone but themselves for their crimes. However, after a mere couple of episodes from when their crimes were exposed to their entire family they were lovingly embraced back into their family. So at the end you are left wondering about the intelligence of their various victims who suffered for episodes on end due to the villains misdeeds but were able to almost immediately forgive and forget. These dramas go overboard in making the heroine too naive, sweet and forgiving and making the villains so criminally crazy that they should be lock up in prison for the rest of their lives. But on a positive note, the lead hero remained steadfast throughout the drama towards his love interest (the heroine of dubious intelligence).

The drama 100 Days My Prince also wrapped up this week. While overall I enjoyed the drama I was disappointed in the final episode. I hate noble idiocy and it was unfortunately introduced in the final episode for filler (if they needed filler they should have given us fan service instead). I hated that they went so far as to have the heroine viciously treat the hero by having her select another man to marry (and to add further insult, it was a man that the hero knew was in love with the heroine). I did like the OTP (despite the heroine's needless cruelty in the final episodes towards the hero) and enjoyed the villagers antics but was never a huge fan of the the palace politics. I also felt that the Crown Princess/Woo Yeon romance was poorly executed.

Hello Beanies.
Finally finished Devilish Joy. The last episode did it for me. Was so happy Gong Ma Seong didn't die or completely lost all his memories. He could remember Galileo.
Who gets married 4 times in a Month. Lol
And the choreography was so funny to watch.

Currently Watching Bride Fox Star. It is fun to watch and they are just so cute.

Was surprised at myself that am only watching one drama. Kinda unbelievable

*randomly picks a c-drama from queue*

HAHAHAHA!!!! Just how self aware is Medical Examinator Dr. Qin.
It's great !!!!!

In a slump since weeks. Now even the variety offerings don't excite me anymore. I am missing some old school Running Man though. Are there any not so mainstream but funny RM old episodes?

Finished Life on Mars and Prison Playbook. I knew I was JKH fan after Heartless City so that I watched the entirety of his next 2 rom coms and then skipped missing 9. But now, i think I'll watch whatever he's in. With my trusty FF button all things are doable.

Now to watch My Ahjushi and Mother.

I saw that there was a kiss in Where Stars Land and abundance of cute. So watched the current 2 eps. This is back on my watch list. They are too adorbs.

Fox Bride Star Soo-yeon and Yeo-reum are so gosh darn cute and I really like some of the side characters like Young-joo. I still need to catch up on this week's episodes but I so want Yeo-reum and her to become bffs. But please, show, give all of In-woo's screentime to Dusty the robot.
BTLIOF I'm on episode 8 but this is already in my top 5 <3

I went 5-day without internet and got to catch up with some shows but not all.

Matrimonial chaos: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show. I have a thing for smart slice-of-life dramas that approaches hard subjects in a thoughtful manner. So far, we have had intelligent conversations about love, sexual consent (and sexual assault), children (and can they fix a marriage), family (and are you still family after a divorce), and there is even hints of one character being LGBTQ. I am loving it and the actors are doing such an amazing job of portraying their characters as very human, flawed but so lovable.

100 Million Stars: I still haven't seen ep 10 yet. I love it in a way I like dark chocolate. It's bitter, complex without too much sweetness and it hits all the right notes for me. I like how morally ambiguous MY is and I enjoy how he does one small little thing and then sits back and see how events unfold. It's fascinating. After seeing the end of ep 9, I am not sure I am a fan of the whole good woman fixes bad/broken man with her love but I am still there for the ride.

100 Days My Prince: I saw the finale. There were a lots of plot holes (this show was like gruyere cheese) and yet I still like it. Was it the actors, the villagers whom I love to pieces or just the general sweetness of the show? Who knows? Sometimes I like watching things without asking myself too many questions.

Mistress: In need of a dark shows with badass female characters, I picked up this show and oh my! The twist and turns are keeping me on the edge of my seat. I am on ep 9/12 and I still don't know who the dead body is. The suspense is killing me.

The Guest: I am behind two weeks now I think. Will definitely finish it this weekend though as I am starting to show signs of hot priest withdrawal symptoms.

Terius behind me: Also behind but I read something about nose kisses so it's also next on my list.

Currently watching:
100 million stars
Terrius behind me
Fox bride star- one episode behind

I am really behind Ash Frost Love. I read that they are going to have second season of Ash Frost Love. It is the kids of fire god and grape fairy. WTH!! WHY!!!

Ghost Dective: I am behind of watching this drama.

Oriental Odessy: I am behind of this drama.

I just finished The Guest. It was really good. I started to cried at final episode and it was great ending. Not sure of second season but we shall see..

Hundred Million of Stars: I am behind of two episodes. So, I will catch up this drama.

Eternal Love 2: CONGRATS!!! 2 Billion Viewers. Now, we just need more episodes on Viki then four episodes. 😖 Also, dang, from what I read there are 42 kisses scenes. Can we all just have it all in one episodes. Please. Also, First prince you are out of luck, because Modern MLC, past MLC and Modern MLC disguise Liu Shang have Tan’er attention. LOL.. While waiting for more episodes. I was lurking the soompi forum. LOL... This is first time, for a while I rewatched episodes while waiting for new episodes. The last time,I did this was Chinese drama Love 020.

Have a great weekend!!! To all USA Beanies especially CA beanies remember to vote!!!

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes: dropped after having watched 6 episodes. FF button was my best friend. There were so many uninteresting characters (especially the brother's friend, the police woman) and so many lacklustre and didactic dialogues to my taste. The investigation made slow progress so the plot began to bore me to death. And I can't feel any chemistry between the leads. I can't see myself Moo Young as magnetic or dangerous. Both Moo Young and Jin Kang feel flat. They are orphans and their shoulders is covered with scar tissue where they were badly burned. That's all I know about their personality. I can't see their motives for anything. After all, they are meant for each other only I'm not curious to see them falling in love with each other. Jung So Min has never belonged to my favourite actresses, and it is still true after this drama. If Jin Kang managed to change his mentality and way of thinking, it would be a fairy-tale ending for me. I don't think that one loving girl is sufficient to wipe away some 20-year experiences that had left him bitter and twisted.

Where Stars Land: I'm stuck at 13-14 episodes. The plot is nothing to write about, but Lee Soo-Yeon...He's the main reason that I continue with the drama. He's so innocent but burning up with passion at the same time when he looks at Yeo Reum. His eyes and voice express his raw feelings of love..Lee Je Hoon gives me butterflies in my stomach. He's like a 14 years old boy trapped in an adult's body (like me, ha-ha. Additionally, his character is in my age group, so I find it easy to relate to him).

I've been rewatching Black. One of my crack drama. The first episode is 1,5 hours long, but time passes very and surprisingly quickly while I'm watching it. I even like Go Ara in this drama.

I'm planning to be binge-watching The Guest now that it's finished.

CHUGA KUSEI NIKKI - 9.5 OUT OF 10 . for present. Boyfriend and Boyfriend's bisexual manager. Teenagers going facing the cool and warm winds of feelings. ARIMURA KASUMI. ahhh.
That Train Scene. offff. I can feel the Love. Its rare for me to acknowledge this feeling but i'm in love for a short while.

Sachiiro no One Room - Still waiting for translations of 8-9-10

Boukyaku no Sachiko - ahh my favourite manga with no translation got 1st episode translated. 8.5 out of 10

Honey - another meh Shoujo movie. 5/10

Funouhan - is getting translated. yes. slow translation though.

Bungaku Shoujo - I'm way behind as i left the show after 1st 2 episodes translation. 6/10

Kemonare - no translations yet

Dai Renai - is good. 7/10

Beauty Inside = Continues to be my favorite current show. This week’s theme was mothers and it was a heartbreaking one. EP 10 was really emotional and raw. Can’t remember the last time I cried this much during a drama and how it made me think of my parents and real life. Now I’m wondering how the writer is gonna bounce back to making the drama light and breezy again.

My Secret Terrius = The plot felt slower this week due to the car explosion plot. I had no doubt that Bon would be fine though. Ae Rin cried and mourned, but she took the next step in her life and made a change. A change of scenery seemed good for her. Jeju Island looked beautiful. The Bon and Jeju scenes were so adorkable and heartwarming. Needed more Bon+twins and less spy stuff cuz the spy stuff was weak. I was annoyed that Ae Rin did not contact Bon right away about the USB findings.

I’m SO behind on The Guest. 5 episodes to be exact. EP 11 was grim and tragic. D: I really want to finish it this weekend (doubtful) before a whole slew of new dramas pop up next week.

Excited for Mama Fairy’s premiere on Monday. Beauty Inside is still priority though.

Ghost Detective: 6/10. Ep 14 & 15: I didn't hate it as much as many Beanies, even though the ghost/fetch/possession rules seemed made to provide 16 episodes of complications instead of logic or consistency. Lee Ji-Ah was impressive as the Big Bad, and it was fun watching female lead Park Eun-Bin switch to baddie facial expressions and body language when the time came.
At one point when a phone played a tune to break a spell and/or announce that help was coming, it was Mamamoo's "Starry Night". I assume that was paid PPL, but good choice anyway (for the show, not necessary for their agency, considering the show's ratings). And nice of them to use one of the few k-songs I might recognize.
Final ep: That huge backpack which obviously didn't weigh down the female lead at all was harder to believe in than the ghosts. What was in it, helium balloons? But the last 10 minutes were (relatively) good.

The Beauty Inside: 6/10 Somehow the dramatic events of ep 10 seemed contrived, not moving -- I guess I'm in the minority here.

My Secret Terius: 8/10

Since this week was Halloween, I binged all of Hauntings of Hill House in 2 days. Soooooo disturbing that I think I’ll pass on the “pick back up on Guest after it ends” idea. I’ll leave it for another slump.

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes [and Landed In Mine] is all I really care about at the moment. Everything is perfect, perfectly twisted. My SIG singing OST again is cherry on top. And then they dropped that gorgeous body bucket full of whip cream for me to spoon over and over and over again. 😋

To calm my bad boy lust, I ground myself with cute bionic heroes from Where Stars Land. This week’s airport anecdotes are extra heart wrenching.

What I'm Watching currently:
FLUTTERING WARNING: I'm really enjoying this show even as it's so low-budget it's unbelievable. Woo-hyun is another rom-com male lead that I like (please let this be a trend that never dies). I also really like Yoo-jung as a character. She's naive but I don't think of her as stupid to be point of frustrating, she's sweet but she's not a doormat (as far as I can tell), but what I like most about this couple (they're not even a couple yet) is how they actually talk to each other and don't let misunderstandings go on forever. I also like that they became friends first.

I’ve definitely watched more non-Asian shows this week. Dramaland just hasn’t seemed all that enticing since I can’t watch the shows I really want to.

Chicago Typewriter: Episode 2 has officially sold me! I had to resist the urge to stay up all night and continue. Also, the Misery references were everything. (ep. 2-3)

Ghost Detective: This is one of those shows that I could never get into as much as others. And I’ve only heard it gets worse, which doesn’t leave me all that excited to continue.(ep. 15)

Twelve Nights: I’m starting to like the vibe, but I still don’t care for the lead female character. She’s starting to show a bit more personality, though. But since we’ll see her over a large timespan, there’s potential for character growth. (ep. 3)

You Drive Me Crazy!: The female lead’s character is driving me, well, crazy, but the hilarity and awkwardness between her and the male lead makes it bearable. (ep. 2)

Where Stars Land - I really like this sweet show. The kiss was nice, but the scene I rewatched was when Soo-yeon was talking to his boss and friend with lipstick smeared all over his mouth and a goofy grin plastered on his face. Loved it!
The Smile has Left Your Eyes - This one is a "can't miss" show! But I have to say that I could get all warm an mushy about the sweet bed scene with MY and Jin-kang. I'm beginning to suspect that they aren't actually brother and sister but can't relax and enjoy until I know.
Third Charm - I haven't watched this weekend's episodeds yet, but last weeks break up was a heartbreaker. Needed but brutal. I still like this show, though.
100 Days My Prince - I finished it with a good deal of FF. Not a strong ending, but glad I made it through. I'll miss D.O. saying "Oh, ho!"
Devilish Joy - I was glad I stayed to the end. I loved the repeat weddings and watching the evil aunt dance was too funny!
Twelve Nights - I'd been practicing a little "delayed gratification" with this one, and waited for 4 episodes to pile up. Wow! So worth the wait! This one is a gem and I love our lead actors. They're killing it. I hope it can stay strong.
On Your Wedding Day - I really enjoyed this movie. The acting was great and the writing was full of great little scenes. I thought the ending was beautiful, too.

Hundred Million Stars From the Sky: I agree with awcoconuts that I'm desperately keeping myself from googling the ending and don't want my hunch to be correct. (Let's not talk about it.) I can't get enough of Kim Moo Young drinking up Yoo Jin Kang with his eyes like it's the one real and sincere thing in his life he's ever seen. (He's not completely like you, yet, evil boyfriend's sister-he can still appreciate Jin Kang.)
Beauty Inside: I laughed when the Oh Hae Young theme music was on in the cafe. Well played. I love all the characters and OTP even if the plot is not tightly written. (That mother thing came out of way left field at an odd timing in the drama.) I've been relating to Seo Hyun Jin's character transformations as they feel like parts of her personality that she doesn't necessary want, but they're there, and they all have their purposes. I have those parts too.
