Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching
by DB Staff
So, what are we all watching this week?
What kept you reaching for more (or agonizing when there was no more), and what made you want to throw your remote through the screen? Time to weigh in…

My Fellow Citizens: Yoo Jae-myung’s commitment to being the sleaziest, trashiest assemblyman in his two-second closeups is hilarious. So is the “political strategy meeting” for Yang Jung-gook’s team that somehow ended up being an episode of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? And with the introduction of mob sisters #1-2, I’m on tenterhooks for more gangster shenanigans and the mysterious sister #3. (They can’t be keeping her identity a secret just because they ran out of funny ideas, right?) Surprisingly, amidst all the laughs, My Fellow Citizens manages to inject some heart and food for thought with its incisive commentary about politics and relationships, making it a well-balanced watch that I look forward to every week.
Doctor Prisoner: The show is back to better pacing after handsomely spinning its wheels in place last week. Finally, someone has had a significant change in their (mis)fortune. And it’s not that I don’t enjoy watching Director Seon suffering, but methinks he should really just lie down and let Na Yi-je step on him on his way to fight Director Lee. It’s less painful that way.
Special Labor Inspector Jo: So satisfying, even if it’s just a puppet takedown. But I knew it’s too good to last. Of course, chaotic evil Tae-soo is taking over. Of course, he’ll have lawful evil Secretary Woo on his side. Can’t our ragtag gang just enjoy solving small societal problems together without having past trauma thrown in their faces? Someone please protect our underdog babies!
Five Kids: I feel bad for Jin-joo reaping what her parents have sown when it comes to in-law-hell. Her parents always seemed “all heart and money, no brain” when it comes to their grandkids so I didn’t find their plotting and barging in too offensive. They’re just people who grew up with no one to teach them “manners.” They obviously just want a family to dote on and people who will treat them nicely despite their habitual faux pas. I’ve been waiting since 5ever for them to realize how precious Mi-jung’s kids are and how fuller their hearts will feel to dote on them. I thought the abrasive Ok-soon would be the one to get this arc, but watching Grandpa flailing around, trying to make sense of his grandkids-in-law’s histrionics (Pat-bing-soo traitor! Rock murderer!) is more adorable and satisfying.

That Psychometric Guy: Ahhhh! I love this show so much — it’s the only drama I can think about right now. I just experienced that awesome hallway fight scene with Jae-in and An, followed by the rooftop smooch… It’s nothing but sheer K-drama happiness with this show. Now all I have to do is accurately time my catch-up watching so that I don’t have to endure the wait for the final two weeks of episodes (also, please don’t end!).

Happy Easter 😁
All is Well: ep 6. I thought we would never have the next episode subbed. I kinda want to see Father and second son more because they (and the son's wife) could learn being more considerate of each other as they're living together. The eldest son should listen to his wife and not make Father come to the US if they're going to struggle financially.
The Banker: Han Soo Ji!!! I knew she was going to President Kang's side. She's playing with fire because she was warned (like Auditor Noh) by people who were for and against him.
Beautiful World: ep 5. Joon Seok's mom does know something and we understand her dream about Seon Ho better in this episode. Soo Ho keeps doing her thing but I feel the petition won't have much effect unless something big is revealed. Seon Ho's aunt is one of my favourite characters because she tries to be a great support even if she feels as devastated as the parents. Talking about parents, the boys moms are starting to divide like the boys are. Young Chul always wanted to be one of the dominant role in the group (or at least not like Ant-Man with powers not as cool as other Avengers), so his insecurity
Big Issue: SH being locked up was really out of their way! Seok Joo going to save her was not that effective, however it proved how much he cares about her. CEO was creepy when he was watching SH and SJ making out and he even looked jealous. I approve of SH quitting and wanting now to destroy Sunday. The new issue is about idols taking pictures of girl group members panties. This show is taking really sensitive IRL subject for its paparazzis and I like it.
Confession: Madame Jin's son is related to Lawyer's Cha's father case so far it's not surprising but I didn't expect her to be a nurse. The murder case involves corruption, especially in the military, but I wonder how deep its roots are.
The Fiery Priest: ep 37-38. The drama went dark with the finale nearing and since I decided to drop Mother of Mine, I had time to catch up for the finale. It's a riot! Kim Nam Gil is a one a kind priest and a magician like Seung A described him. I love seeing her crushing on him btw. His magic works on everyone he encounters, beginning with the church people (Father Han nooooo) and corrupt people. Dae Young grew on me like he grew on Hae Il. Kyung Sun is fantastic because she doesn't seek justice or any of the noble aspirations like other characters but is endearing in just being herself and even more with other (that scene in the club with Seung A is one of my favourite). On the real antagonists side, it's so ridiculous that their actions become enjoyable. The four finger prints could have been taken really in another drama but not here haha. I may be weird but I thought Cheol Bum and Kyung Sun would have made a pretty badass antagonist couple who goes the redemption route. I have a soft spot for Yo Han and his astronomy knowledge!

(continue)
He is Psychometric: I like Ji Soo's perceverance in finding the truth even if it's horrible. She, Ahn and Jae In care so much for Seong Mo. The scenes with his mother trapped as if they were less worth than humans were horrible.
Her Private Life: After watching Kim Jae Wook in melodramas, thrillers and as second lead in rom-coms, it was finally time for him to have fun as a main lead in a rom-com. I will only watch this drama for him and be a fangirl, not to the same extent as portrayed in the drama though. That's one of my problem, some behaviours and mentality as a fan go beyond my understanding. I don't accuse the drama in portraying such aspects but it gives a look in the fan system in Korea and I don't support aää few behaviours like reactions to the dating scandal with "normal" fans harassing or throwing themselves under their idol's van!
Kill It: If it didn't have only 12 episodes I would have already dropped it. Chairman Do doesn't seem to be in a good place with enemies going after him and that's quite enjoyable.
Manpuku: ep 95. We finally got the part of the creation of instant noodles. Tachibana is starting from scratch again like for the salt company but he and Fuku-chan are now parents and need financial stability. The kids seem to be bullied at school judging from their conversation. It will be harder to convince people this time around to follow him.
Possessed: I felt something bad was going to happen to Chief Yu but I never expected such... A horrible thing for other characters. I cried so much at the beginning of episode 14 and again with Nam Hyun and Pil Seung. Hwang Dae Doo you bastard! I feel so powerless seeing everything crushing down around Pil Seung. Seo Jung's state is not better and it hurts to see everyone so desperate. Fortune teller Bae grew on me but I think something might happen to him or he will make bad decisions.
Radiation House: ep 1. J-drama about radiology starring Masataka Kubota and Tsubasa Honda. A young man who was bullied as a child becomes a radiographer to reunite with the girl who used to defend him. She became a radiologist but it seems like she has changed. The last project I saw the actor's acting was Unnatural so it feels like he's been transferred. But it's different, this is a manga adaptation, in case the "accidental falls" weren't a clue, so I'm sure where it's going. It uses photography comparaisons and has the newbie genius guy who has this huge crush on his childhood friend (I think they were close).
Welcome to Waikiki 2: Noona and Ki Bong had me in the feels this week, thus they became my favourite characters of this season. Woo Shik should apply the things he says to his sister: don't do anything. He wants to help Soo Yeon and is always getting in trouble all by himself when he can be a great support for her and even put her in her place when needed (for example her singing, her...

(for example her singing, her part-jobs). I'm quite sad to say Junki is my least favourite now, not because I don't love him anymore but his actions seem to exaggerate more as if the director asked him to be more "Junki-ish". His scenes with Jung Eun make me remember the Junki I liked in season one.

I was watching news last night and how timing it was that the news about parents who locked up their children (13 of them) in their house and their eldest of them was almost 30 years old came up on my screen! It’s sick to know this fiction is clearly a depiction of somebody’s tragic life in the real world. 💔 That there really people out there suffering from this kind of horrors of life.
My heart breaks to see how Sung Mo’s mom really lost her youth because of this sorry excuse for a human being. And the fact that while she’s physically free from shackles, but she’s still out there hiding, caging herself. 💔 It infuriates me to know there are people out there do not know and feel what freedom is, because their justice system is so flawed it’s sickening.
😪 back to the drama - hope we get a happy ending for all the 4 leads and the mom specifically!

Gosh, that's terrible to know such a thing happens in real life. I hope the parents will spend the rest of their life in jail.
Mom has been brave for taking care of Sung Mo when they were locked up and doing the best into preventing to behave like the father. I'm hoping for a happy ending too!

@mango I believe Mdm Jin was wearing a surgical mask and looking at Do Hyun after his heart surgery ... because he was still in Intensive Care and she couldn't go in without a mask. However from what the doctor calls her later (sunbae) ... it is possible that she's a senior doctor rather than nurse. :-)

Confession
There are a few blips here and there with the coincidences: Do Hyun discovering the missing children poster, Jong Gu remembering Sun Hee with a random picture in prison, the four Avengers meeting at that intersection (How were both guys in the vicinity?). It’s a shame since the plot is developing along nicely otherwise: I wonder if Nurse Jo is aware of the atrocities her brother has committed and if she had a role to play in ensuring that Do Hyun got the heart in order to fulfil the deal with his father. Somehow, I suspect that she had murdered Yu Ri’s dad like she did to the pervert teacher.
A Beautiful World
This show highlights really well the influence of upbringing as shown by the similar mannerisms of the bully quartet in comparison with their parents, though it is scary to see how Young Chul is the one who hides a dark side that can rival Joon Seok, despite him being raised in a poorer environment by the parent who actually feels the most guilt. Regarding the video source, I suspect that Sun Ho himself might have predicted the murder in advance and taken precautions in advance with the phone and diary probably in safe hands: Dong Hee? She had a solo shot just before that cliffhanger!
That Psychometric Guy
If there’s one comforting thing from the ominous voiceover at the cliffhanger, it is that Lee An will definitely survive any ordeal that he faces as the story pushes on to the climax. The same can’t be said for the rest of the leads though: I’m particularly worried for Ji Soo who might just sacrifice herself knowing that a high price was paid for her life. As for the mystery client that hired Kim Gab Yong for the suitcase murders, I believe that YSS is involved: they might be the seller of the stolen identities with Sung Mo’s mother buying them: she is surely desperate enough to hide herself at all costs.

Confession : Nurse Jo definitely did something to Yu Ri's dad and I share the same opinion as you. It wouldn't be surprising if she used the same modus operandi.
Beautiful World: If Dong Hee has clear evidence she would have shown up with them. Unless she's not confident enough because people might not believe her ? At least Seon Ho's sister could hear her out.

@radily
The thing I'd really consider a big coincidence is that the heart of Mdm Jin's son just happened to be suitable for Do Hyun.
The other things, I did not mind so much because in the case of DH, he was thinking about the photo of Cho Ki Tak looking too young ... so seeing the poster got him aware of what computers could do. I was more flabbergasted that he and Det Ki hadn't automatically thought of that possibility without having seen that poster first.
Also the Jong Gu memory ... he was trying to recall for ages, so seeing the ladies in Hanbok was a reasonable jog to his memory. So that does not bother me either.
As for the meeting at that intersection, yes that was some coincidence. I understand that Mdm Jin wanted to go back to that spot and stay there for a while, but I'm not clear why Do Hyun took that route. :-)

@growingbeautifully,
I've been having a hard time buying the possibility that there would be suitable tissue matches between two consecutive waiting-list patients and a very random donor. (Unless the waiting list were being manipulated behind the scenes, which is possible. And maybe the donor was not random. Yikes.)
My suspension of disbelief is feeling cranky. ;-)
I can make a case for the longer route Madame Jin's son and the truck driver took: perhaps there was a road closure elsewhere. It would have been temporary, so no one would suspect it. And if it were on the sly (as was done in LOOKOUT), there would be no official record of it with the traffic or police departments.

@pakalanapikake
Yes, about the tissue matches, @shach was one of the first to point it out as well.
About that longer route and the ToD accident. Yoo Ri had noted the inexplicable longer, more out of the way route that the truck took. It was a deliberate detour.
From, I believe, flashbacks (whose, I don't know, but it would have to be killer Cho's), we get the scene where after Sun Hoo's car is rammed into, killer Cho comes along from the ToD to take his wallet and bag. So it was all planned in advance.
The report on the driver was probably faked. The fellow driver or owner of the company that provides the trucks and drivers was certain that the driver of the ToD would not have been drunk as the report said. And driver was also conveniently dead.

April 21, 2019 at 10:17 AM
@growingbeautifully,
I got the impression that killer Jo Ki-tak likely jumped the truck driver after he'd left the lot, sedated him, and made it look like he caused the accident. He could have used special forces-fu (as in TRAP) to kill him if the impact of the accident didn't do the trick.
growingbeautifully
April 21, 2019 at 10:28 AM
@pakalanapikake
I was not too clear if killer made driver's death look like DUI or not, because compared to the car, the truck looked unscathed. I guess he made it look like the 'inebriated' driver did not wear his seatbelt and bumped himself hard enough in the collision to be killed.

Ahhh.. @hebang thanks ... I was trying to remember where they were coming from when they met the ladies, without re-watching.
OK then Mdm Jin's son, Sun Hoo leaves the Hwa Ye restaurant after meeting with the nefarious DSC there, with incriminating documents in his bag. Knowing that, that road is the main route he would use, killer Cho is prepped to drive a truck (the poor real truck driver was pumped with drugs or booze and died) that kills Sun Hoo. Cho takes the documents.
The current coincidence of course is the timing of Do Hyun's and Det Ki's coming down that road, while Mdm Jin and Yoo Ri were loitering there. It was a relief that they finally 'banged' into each other!

That Psychometric Guy: I have convinced (read: brainwashed) myself that Hyung does not like Jae-in and only feels indebted to her because he knows Jae-in's dad was framed, but he cannot give up the culprit in order to protect Mom. While Jae-in may be Sung-mo's trigger who caused him to feel an emotion for the first time, he is not obsessed with her like Kang Geun-taek is with Mom because Sung-mo's amygdala has been fully developed as evidenced by him feeling pain when Ahn stepped on his foot.
I have equally convinced myself that Hyung likes Ji-soo but does not want to burden her with his serial killer father. Ji-soo is the person Sung-mo most cherishes. I think he gifted her the sunflower necklace hanging on her rearview mirror. Please don't sink my ship. I was scared that something was going to happen to Ji-soo when she stepped outside the factory to talk on the phone with Dr. Hong.
Mom had run into Kang Geun-taek as she fled Yeongseong Apartment in Episode 1. I figured Kang Geun-taek had brought a body in his suitcase when he filled a cup with tea (red tea that looked like blood) to make it seem like four women were inside the apartment, but how did he get Mom's ID card to plant on the body? I assume the dead woman was Kang Eun-sul from the missing person flyer in the elevator in Episode 4. My heart goes out to Mom for being kidnapped as a teenager, locked in a basement, and raped by a monster. WTF is wrong with the police for yelling at the victims? Sung-mo's priest should have a responsibility to report what he knows.
Her Private Life: I hate the dating rumors not because Deok-mi almost got ran over by a car... or because Deok-mi got egged... or because Deok-mi got doxxed... or because Deok-mi almost got fired and slapped... but because Deok-mi can never get close to Sian again as he would be wary to be seen with her from now on. Deok-mi visiting Sian's house was a dream come true, especially when she discovered how much he treasured his first fan Si-Na-Gil. When Deok-mi's clothes got wet, I had hoped Sian would give her a change of his clothes, but then they could not deny her clothes were not Sian's unlike Ryan's limited edition jacket.

I agree Hyung doesn't like Jae-In, I think his affection is love for a younger sister. Aside from his mother, she is the first to make him smile. As for Ji-Soo, I think he simply has a hard time expressing his emotions. He likes her, but simply can't figure out how to show it. It is a symptom of Alexythimia.

There is a difference between entering the house of someone whom you have been referred as cute (and seeing him across the room, just got out from the shower) and being posed in compromising pose, less than an inch away from Ryan's sexy cheekbones. The second is more deadly, in my opinion.

I think this was pure dramaland coincidence. One limited-edition jacket was imported per country, and since Ryan is from the States, he owns one too. Ryan is rich and probably likes designer brands. I thought the jacket was very simple -- a basic black jacket with gold trim.

The Light In Your Eyes Wow. I did not see the ending coming at me at all. If I did, I would've prepared myself to be hit in the feels numerous times. I probably used a whole tissue box whilst Hye Ja and her family came to terms with everything, every initial scene unraveling to be tinged with the bittersweet reality. I went in expecting nothing but the entire disorientating delirium, almost magically fantastical ride was worth the emotional roller coaster.
Children of Nobody I started this last year and giddily ate up all the episodes until real life made me pause it. Picking it up again and reliving the thrill and the brilliant characterisations were worth it. This drama is completely and utterly fantastic. Every episode leaves ample questions which are driven by a bigger mystery, the acting is top-notch and everyone's motivations (both implicit and explicit) deserve 👏👏👏. Gosh, I felt morally ambiguous whilst watching CoN- imagine nodding along with a (delusional) rogue vigilante who battles the law and evil with blood.
Secret Terrius I kinda skipped most of the spy stuff and focused on the goody-goody cutesy scenes with the kids. I was mush when the kiddos came around. AWWW
Trap The 1st ep was a bizzaro- blood pressure, adrenaline ride and now I'm hooked onto finding what the hell happened on those mountains and who all are involved in this eerie mind game where no one is to be believed.

I used to criticize Chinese noise pollution dramas a lot but now i'm watching 5 of them.
PUt you Head on My Shoulder - 7/10 . I excitedly wait for this show's friday premiers on youtube. There is nothing new,special or amazing about the story and plot, sequences, scenes and events. Nothing to vouch for direction or even acting. MAIN Characters Personality is where this show shines.
I really like this +VE show. Heroine deserves praise here.
In Youth - while we were young - 6/10 - 6episodes watched. like the relationship of these 4 friends. Heroine looks the odd one and can't act. But i can see how heroine will become a part of this strong group of 4 friends. Other thing to like about the show is writer understands the concept of women empowerment and subtle discrimination.
The Brightest Star in the Sky - 4/10 - 15episodes watched.Noise Pollution. SOmehow heroine is able to manage a few things.
Pushing Hands - 6/10. 18 episodes watched only if Hero wasn't lookalike of another guy.
Business part is most interesting here and i actually want to see more of it. Heroine is really going through such emotional stress and distress. She is there to handle 2 annoying guys and 4 old thugs.
ALL IS WELL - 8/10 watching 6th episode now. This show wants to social commentary but i do think its a bit slow anda bit dramatic.
Wait My Youth - Noise Pollution 1st episode.
Our Glamorous Time - dropped 1st episode
My posseidon - Waiting for subs.

Just curious - what's this "Chinese noise pollution dramas" thing?
All Is Well - I don't think it's something to be proud of but some of the happenings in this show do occur in real life for Chinese families. They are absurd, over the top but sadly true. If I got one criticism about the show it's this - what if Ming Yu is just a ordinary but solid citizen and not some hotshot corporate high flyer? Her money solved too many problems.

"what if Ming Yu is just a ordinary but solid citizen and not some hotshot corporate high flyer? Her money solved too many problems."
so true! if she was just an ordinary nine-to-five-er the drama would have been 60 eps long instead of 46, i guess.
but this drama is fast becoming one of my fav. modern day Chinese drama. Cast was pretty solid, acting was on point (albeit a bit too dramatic at times).

Still no kdramas 😔
Completed Monster Killer Wu Xin S1 with quite a bit of FF. It's not that the show is boring, I just don't like the evil girl's shenanigans. Elvis Han was born to play Wu Xin, I don't care about anything else except him and his sidekick Commander Gu.
Completed Taiwanese drama The World Between Us. I have not watched TW drama for some time but this isn't like any I've seen before. Superbly cast, tightly written and emotional without manipulation. The show delves into the aftermath of a mass shooting. It deals with psychotic disorder, what makes a mass murderer, who are the victims, the role of the media and the rights of a criminal. Don't expect answers or rather straightforward ones.
When you watch shows like this, I realize how wannabe psychotic crime thrillers like Trap is all style and little substance. Gory and shock tactics aren't necessary. I think it's more frightening that your unassuming neighbor is a potential killer than that snarly CEO or famous celebrity.
Just started Killing Eve, it's pretty good so far.

The World Between Us - is quality Content. The only other show the can compete with it is ALL is Well.
Its HBO original so translation is there. 1st 2 episodes are directly ripped that's why we see 2 subtitles at the same time. We need to wait for someone to scrap the subs of the show or rip rest of the episodes.
ALL if well and World between both do social commentary and both put question for audience.

I used to watch Taiwanese dramas before I started on Kdramas. TW dramas are to me very different from C ones even though the language is the same(they do use a lot of Minnan yu in TW ones). I can't help but wonder if these days Taiwanese entertainment is overshadowed by the juggernaut C ent.
Our drama viewing patterns change with time. Long ago, we watched mainly Hong Kong dramas, then it was Taiwanese dramas which enjoyed new popularity because they started churning out youth, romcoms instead of the traditional family soap operas. The Korean wave arrived with Winter Sonata. Every auntie was besotted with Bae Yong Joon. Now, I see the trend is taken over by C ent. I wonder what's next.

I enjoyed some of the Taiwanese indie movies and their dramas. You are right that they do have more heart and a kind of down to earth feel about it.
Chinese shows weren't always 'clean' and 'pretty'. In the 80s and 90s, the Chinese had very good movies - Raise the Red Lantern, mostly Zhang Yimou's works. Now, the Chinese entertainment industry is seeing exponential growth. I guess at this stage, it's more about mainstream popularity.

I hope they get their act together and make Wu Xin 3 a better sequel. Work on the strengths of the show and get rid of the weak parts.

This week is basically rough and heated as my country just recently held both parliamentary & presidential election, though there are happy news such as my local TV will air both My ID is Gangnam Beauty & SKY Castle and also Red Velvet will have concert near my office next week. YAY!
The Beauty Inside : Finally I just finsihed it, because you know, I almost hate Se-kye when she asks to break up with Do-jae and becoming a Noble Idiot urgh. If I were in her shoes, I will always tell Do-jae 'I Love You' and 'I'm sorry' and will practically do anything just to makes him happy. I also quite hate the way they write Sa-ra and Eun-ho's loveline because they make Sa-ra keeps chasing him. The writer should write the Noona romance like in Encounter, though Eun-ho will have confusion between his priest dream or her. I give 7/10 at best
Welcome to Waikiki 2: Yu-ri & Ki-bong really shines in this ep. Woo-shik please stop doing things in the dark, I can't make any difference between you and handsome-dimpled-deep voice martyr.
Her Private Life : Kim Jae-wook as Ryan Gold is pure GOLD. I laugh at him for misunderstanding things and doing extra for protecting Deok-mi LOL. I now draw the conclusions that Ryan and Cha Shi-an actually brothers and Lee Sol the bubble painters is actually their mother. The K-drama rules applied there, the male lead is rich but having family problems.

I loved The beauty inside, so I was furious for that noble idiocy! It was so useless! And it was a pity that we knew from the beginning that the old woman that caused the incident was Se-Kye. It would be a big surprise if we found it together with Do-Jae.
I liked the noona romance, but I think it wasn't well written after the time jump: it seemed to me that the relationship didn't advance and Sa-Ra and Eun-Ho were transformed into two teens.

I know, right? I also suspect these two are actually brothers. But anyway I would still be happy if they are total strangers. Btw, him mistaking her as lesbian is hilarious. To be exact, his reaction is hilarious. I wonder what would he do if he found out that she is not a lesbian, and that she is actually SA's number one fan?
As about Sindy...i feel like pulling my hair out everytime Sindy is mentioned. I wont be surprised if she is the daughter of the gallery's previous lady-boss (byw, the lady boss's acting is superb. She actually made me believe that she is functionally mental)

If Si-an and Ryan were total strangers, they could be a soulmate, I think? But if Ryan actually knows that Deok-mi is not a lesbian, he wouldn't act this far to protect her from sasaeng fans.
But imagining Sindy is the actual daughter of Director Eom really gives me chills. They have the same stalkerish behaviour.

Beanies, I think I am in love. I know we just met, but Put Your Head on My Shoulder seems to be the perfect spring fling. It is funny, youthful, with fresh faces, and pretty color pallet.
How can I not feel giddy? This drama is catnip galore. It generously gives me:
An incredibly handsome hero (the newcomer Lin Yin) who is an adorable tech geek. He sees machines, he feels compulsion to open them up to understand them. He is the aloof drama archetype, but never mean, and perhaps inexperienced in handling his feelings but always observant and often quite thoughtful.
A heroine bravely fights for her passion for a career in advertising despite when younger obeying her parents’ wish to major in accounting for a more financially secured life. She is not afraid to speak her mind and faces her own feelings.
Even though both leads attend to the same University and live in dorms, the drama quickly evolves and delivers the cutest cohabitation hijinks. The best twist? Their moms are their biggest shippers! (yay, no evil moms!)
The hero crushes on the heroine first, and HARD. Oh all those delicious hidden smiles, secret bouts of jealousy, finding excuses (sometimes petty) just to spend more time with her. CATNIP! CATNIP! CATNIP!
No childhood trauma, no chaebol luxury, no frustratingly annoying second leads. It is penned by the writer of A Love So Beautiful. Available on YouTube with subs up to episode 6.

That's one of the main reasons why it's advisable not to live watch C-Dramas. Let's say god forbid it goes south, you can't skip the bad parts. For me, that increases the likelihood that I will drop the drama if it does. BUT this drama is shorter than your average C-Drama at only 24 eps long, so that in theory should decrease the torture should there be a dip.

Gu Wei Yi here is much more relatable. I love that he is such a obsessive compulsive tech geek, a little bit of a neat freak, and also a little too scrupulous to a fault (but also therefore easily manipulated and baitable 😆).

Except for J dramas which I don't watch, I agree with your comparison.
Actually these days, my pet peeve isn't 'deer in the headlight' or 'lips that don't move' kissing. These days, some kissing in kdramas veer to the other extreme - what PD thinks is "Hot Kissing' but actually looks more like the actor sucking the 'qi' (energy) out of the actress. I can't understand the obsession over the actor's jawline sticking at a certain angle to the camera either.

April 20, 2019 at 7:53 AM
🤣🤣🤣 @ "sucking the qi out of the actress"!
My usual gripe is not so much the "deer in the headlight" but how that look usually comes about....I am tired of seeing the hero surprise kisses the heroine. These supposedly cute sneak attacks, under the current climate, start to feel more like assaults.😞
But what I enjoy more recently about kiss scenes that there seem to be more emphasis on the rest of the bodies....how their hands move about, the closer proximity of their bodies, or a second deeper kiss followed by the first affirmation of feelings. Reciprocation is always welcome.

April 20, 2019 at 8:07 AM
Rating the kisses from just how they look point of view, I agree with noona that Tw can generally be the best--most times. J-dramas though can look the most natural, but it depends on the type of drama it is. C-Dramas can be good depending on who it is and what type of drama it is. K-Dramas. Well, I agree with noona on that. But I still hate deer in the headlights kisses. Really really hate them.
