These past few weeks, I found myself enjoying chill and heartwarming dramas more and more, so drama watching has been really fun for me since the dramas offered this season have that warm and sort of slice-of-life feel to them (although some have sci-fi or fantasy elements in them).

A Piece of Your Mind made me question A LOT of things, mostly involving logic and ethics. I know that artificial intelligence involves learning, but how did Ha-won managed to input recent memories of Ji-soo to the program, without actually knowing her secrets and the things she talked about with Seo-woo? Is it just things that AI Ji-soo picked up from her conversations with Seo-woo? Although I had a lot of questions, this week's episodes actually made me love AI Ji-soo and Seo-woo's relationship, appreciate the bond formed between Seo-woo and Ha-won that centered around Ji-soo, gave me a little bit of understanding for Ha-won, and made me feel warmth towards Seo-woo, after seeing how heartwarming of a person she is.

When the Weather is Fine made me ugly cry this week after Hwi told Eun-seob that she liked her brother since she was born. I feel really proud of Hae-won and Eun-seob this episode, because while Hae-won developed into the lovable strong female lead we love, Eun-seob made the decision to stay with his "family." I feel really warm while watching this show that is in a winter setting, and that was actually the warmth that I felt from a show. I need more of this show... and Jang-woo.

Hospital Playlist made me unaware of time while watching each episode (the magic of 1 episode per week, I guess). I really really enjoy this show and I am really open to whatever endgame this show is going for, but Song-hwa definitely liked one of her friends back in college and I need to know W H O ASAP. And I said this before, but if I am going to be a kdrama character, I would love to be the younger sister of JKH's best friend. *wink wink*

Hi Bye, Mama! is still heartwarming, and I really enjoyed this week's episodes, but I wanted more screentime of Yu-ri with her family, especially her Mom, since she only have a few days left. The little twist was not really that shocking, but it was really touching, with Seo-woo knowing who Yu-ri is all along. I have this feeling that the place Yu-ri is supposed to take is Seo-woo's place in this world, because why else would Guk-bong take Seo-woo if not for this? Also, Yu-ri x Min-jung is the superior ship.

And I am weirdly enjoying Welcome. I know this one would probably crash and burn, but the cat is cute, so is Seo Ji-hoon, okay, sometimes L, and some scenes are ridiculous but really funny. It's reeeaaaally weird, I know. Also trying to finish Never Twice. The show is becoming more and more ridiculous, but I am here for the OTP anyway, so why not use the mighty fast forward button, right?

Hospital - best whenever they are together. Preferably all 5 🙂

Weather - Haewon's moods and the dog 😂 (I could do without the childhood connection.)

Find Me in Your Memory - I like Hajin. I like her straightforwardness. I like that she can defend herself. And that she is smart (smarter than she shows). I also like every scene the couple is together.

Half of a half - does it mean will I always understand only 1/4? 😆

Koi wa Tsuzuku - finished. Sweet and uplifting... just right for the Virus times.

That viral video by an Israeli mom after the lock down and start of the home schooling - yes, "the same" 😁

FIND ME IN YOUR MEMORY: The amnesia and/or great memory is an overrated theme in dramaland. It bores me to death. However, I can't help but love the main leads, and their cute albeit sad relationship. Can't wait to see more of Ha-jin and Jung-hoon as individuals and as a couple!

A PIECE OF YOUR MIND: This drama pisses me off. SERIOUSLY. I never thought that they'd make Ji-soo meet Seo-woo in the story (and so early) and I didn't like that AT ALL. Ha-won is creepy and stalkerish, Ji-soo is a confusing character suffering from depression. Not to mention that many scenes didn't make sense, were infuriating, unreasonable, and stupid. Maybe I'll drop this one. Still undecided. I'm going to check the upcoming episodes to find out if it got better.

HI BYE, MAMA!: I live for our trio of women!!! LOVE THEM!!! I WANT MORE!!! I also love the mom, the sister, and Seo-woo. I just hope for Yu-ri to have a proper talk with Kang-hwa and make him heal. (Where the hell is Kang-hwa's mother? Doesn't he have a family?)

KINGDOM S2: Loved the gore, the execution, the pace and the characters. It was a enjoyable ride. I just wish they'd stop with the unfinished endings, which bring more unanswered questions. I dislike the multiseason format, but I can't wait for S3. And...Jun Ji-hyun!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE ALARM S1: I watched the first two episodes. I dislike the dramas and ache of high school kdramas, it doesn't give me good memories of my teens. But, I find the app an interesting concept and a brief of fresh air (though I wouldn't want it in real life, it looks dangerous and damaging). So far I don't care about the boys, sorry but they're boring. I'm here for Kim So-hyun only. I like Kim Jo-jo the most, and I'm rooting for her to find happiness and purpose in life, she deserves it.

HI BYE MAMA: Yuri, HJ and MJ's friendship would make an excellent spin off series, but alas the show seems to be heading to an "all hands to heaven" Hotel de Luna ending.
WELCOME; MEOW; ("Angel's Last Mission in Cat Form"): The show is too bad to even hate watch. The FL is hung up on the ex-boyfriend who has the personality (and acting ability) of a park bench. The office workers have more connections in common than they realize, but so what? They are passive and dull. The "real" cat is the best performer in the show; L the annoying worst.
ONCE AGAIN: I tried to watch episode 1 because the actors are good, but stopped less than a quarter in. The show was so "cut and paste" boring family stereotypes to invest in 50+ episodes. On hold.
GOOD BYE BI (2019 K-drama special): What I like about these kinds of specials are simple plots, no over-the-top characters, a sentimental journey with the story neatly wrapped up in an hour. The story of a young woman who has to move from her basement apartment full of memories in order to break from her past was good.
Variety:
THE GREAT ESCAPE SEASON 3: Season 2 was a bit of a disappointment. Episode 1 and 2 of the new season was okay, but kind of repetitive with less actual problem solving.
FUN RESTAURANT: Continues to be quirky fun, however the English subs are now way behind.

I'LL GO TO YOU WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE:

Before the Kiss

I understand that Eun-seob would feel confused and hopeless without knowing what to do upon hearing Hae-won's confession. It's understandable since he always loved her from afar. Hae-won loving him would feel like a distant dream. HOWEVER, that didn't justify his behavior even with or without the childhood trauma. He didn't give her a proper answer, he became cold and distant towards her, and he rejected her afterwards. Poor Hae-won. Like seriously, Eun-seob? Does he really enjoy hurting himself? Does he really want to foresake his happiness that badly? ...and then the kiss came...it was a bit sudden in my opinion given his latest behavior. The kiss was nice and it's always welcome, but I fear about what is to come. I don't think Eun-seob is prepared for a relationship with Hae-won. He is unstable both physically and emotionally. But please Eun-seob don't make Hae-won suffer, the girl has been through a lot all her life.

After the Kiss

I really thought that Eun-seob would "regret" or "chicken out" because he was too frightened about kissing Hae-won. BUT he wasn't!!!! I'm so so so glad that I was wrong!!!! Eun-seob was so affectionate towards Hae-won, and I loved their little moments of happiness (LOVED their small bickering exchange that ended up with Eun-seob kissing Hae-won). To be honest, I thought that poor Hae-won would be the one to push for their relationship to go forward, but I was happy to see that Eun-seob took the lead for several times. That's my boy!!!!!! Can't wait to see more of them together, and see them heal each other!

365: Repeat the Year It must be awful to be one of the group, to see everybody dying and not be able to go back before the experience.

I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day I love this show! Hwi and ES relationship was beautifully written.

A Piece of Your Mind I love this show too. The details are really important to understand the story, the motivations, etc.

Welcome This week episodes were the last I think. It's really not a good show. All the cat jokes (fish, box, vacuum) fell flat. I don't like L in this role, he looks more like a robot than a cat.

Find Me in Your Memory I really like the main characters. KDW is so charming in this role. His mother's love for him was beautiful but it's so sad. I like the FL is not completely clueless like every character is trying to make her.

Memorist It's pretty hectic. I'm not sure that story makes sense. But it's entertaining and I like the actors. The BTS are pretty funny.

Hospital Playlist I was disapointed by this episode. I don't think I know Yang Seok-Hyeong better, he's still the weird and shy guy from the band. The VVIP story was so Kdramatic, it's kinda disapointing in this drama. And the Church scene... I'm not specially a believer but I respect Church, you don't eat or wear a cap in the house of God...

Picks up everything I've probably even forgotten some of them. Watch Kim's Convenience, it's awesome.

A Piece of Your Mind I really loved the first two episodes of this show, even the bits i didn't (including the soft focus that made me wonder if I needed my eyes tested). It felt like a kdrama meets a European arthouse film meets a fairy tale. Yes there were moments like a character looking at a crescent moon and then declaring they "just wanted to keep a piece of her" but also others where Jisoo went to Norway to kill herself and succeeded easily. The cold is like gravity - it does its work without our effort. It is a friend. I haven't seen the next two episodes though, I'm not sure where this show can even go. The cinematography has the air of a flashback or a dream. I'm not even sure what it's about.

The Memorist I think this show may have lost me soon after getting me. I just found these episodes... tiresome. I don't want to touch on the religious aspect as I'll no doubt annoy a lot of people. I'll just say the religious aspects of the show aren't working for me and we'll leave it at that.

Cat Sunbae Teaches L to act is officially dropped. This show is extremely silly. Having weighed and balanced its silly against its more problematic elements, I have decided it's not the silly for me. The cat deserves acting awards. I hope L is getting pointers from his Sunbae while he can.

365 Repeat the Year I enjoyed the first episode of this, although the character's inability to ask simple questions is a bit weird.

Nobody Knows I love this show and Young-jin is amazing, I love her. I want to adopt all her ducklings and steal her bookcase. I can't say the antagonist is entirely working for me but it's a small grip. This is an excellent show that more people need to watch.

I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day: I like the no-drama way it handles events without the usual makjang. Mom makes a return and instead of a 4 episode over-the-top reckoning, we get a pretty chill one episode. Same with the uncle. This past two episodes zoomed by and for a slow-moving show, that's pretty amazing.

Welcome: I just turn off my brain and watch just cuz.

Still considering Hospital Playlist and Hyena but haven't jumped in yet. Also saw promos for Rugal but it just made me want to watch repeats of The Six Million Dollar Man. I had such a crush on Lee Majors back in the day.

Also watching: Find Me in Your Memory / Welcome

365: Repeat the Year (Episode 5-8)
This story is not slowing down after its explosive premiere and I’m liking it! It appears to me that everyone has a hidden side to them as shown in the preview (student hugging someone, Hyung Joo confronting gamer, cafe owner confessing about something), but what intrigues me is that we haven’t seen any hidden sides of the two leads despite seeing their full backstories before the reset. Ma Ru recognising Hyung Joo after the reset and ’Hidden Killer’ being eerily similar to events: I speculate we’ll see even more twists, maybe they might even stay alive long enough this round to reset again.

Hospital Playlist (Episode 4)
We have all been trolled again in the cliffhanger: I myself rewatched the episode a few times to interpret the last scene and understand the clues that were dropped earlier on. It seems Song Hwa might not reciprocate Captain Ahn’s crush, likewise, Ik Sun could do the same to Jun Wan. I’m not sure if Jung Won even recognises yet that Dr Jang has a feeling for him. It’s so ironic though that most of us (me included) didn’t want the standard love triangle but are obsessed over the potential love lines. Well, this drama is more than that: in particular I feel really bad for Woo Joo (he is so mature!).

Nobody Knows (Episode 9-10)
Eun Ho you sneaky little smart ass! As mama Young Jin taught him well, he was able to see past Sang Ho’s exterior for the much more devious interior. We also lost Dong Myung and Min Sung to the dark side but thankfully her influence is really contagious (coronavirus go away!) and they were rescued in time (hopefully Tae Hyung will be next in line?). The exposure of Young Jin’s past was in my opinion a bad move by Sang Ho since I think that led to Ki Ho reaching out and contacting her: Ki Ho’s info could be crucial. But I think Sang Ho isn’t the stigmata killer: his story will reveal who he is.

Hi Bye, Mama! (Episode 11-12)
The writer has dropped the ball with regards to the side arcs: the Jang family has all but disappeared into thin air (the son didn’t even show up on screen!), Kang Bin following Keun Sang proved to be narratively insignificant when he went back to the columbarium anyway for his death reveal (which wasn’t a twist at all and hence his arc felt dragged), while the others had their arc thrown away (Hye Jin’s material was a rehash of earlier episodes). Was it worth it for the main story getting development? Yes, that’s the important story anyway! But introduced arcs must also get their conclusion.

This week I dind't start anything new, I kept up with

When The Weather Is Fine - has me feeling all kind of emotions as the characters go through their stories, the cinematography is like art, and I am already sad to lose being able to feast my eyes on Seo Kang Joon when this is over.

Meow - while the Pinnochio cat wants to become a real boy, I want to him to stay a cat. There was not enough Hong Jo for me in these past two episodes.

Find Me In Your Memory - I still enjoy this show, more than I would have thought in the beginning. I have to be honest, I only started this for Kim Dong Wook and his voice, and perhaps that is a big part of why I am enjoing it. BUT his doctor friend must be the world's worst psychiatrist. Last week prescribing a very sick and clearly not sane patient sleeping pills for her to use freely at home, spilling doctor-patient-confidentials left and right, having no idea how to treat mental disorders... this is hard to watch and should come with a warning (Do not trust this doctor. Please contact a professional if in need.).

Hyena - Nothing to add since last week. This is just perfect and I am very sad to see it end next week.

I missing my dose of Sageuks this year!!!
Where did all the Sageuks go???

MY YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY IS WRONG AS I EXPECTED aka

OREGAIRU - Season 3 - April 9 - @sancheezy

Print Media -
Visual media and tv media - tired of same old news and information

The only entertainment left is to guess the number of No-More.

Japan - several movies pending.

Several humble shows got translation.

Boku dake Ga 17-Sai no Sekai De - 6/10 - That's it.

Us Forever - 6.5/10 - someone scrapped it from Sony gem.
https://gph.is/g/4AjmYbe

Korea - Dropped all shows expect

Hospital Playlist and Weekend 100 episodes drama Once Again

The Wonder Woman - 3/10 - utter trash.

Idiot - This guy has some clips of ceo of this channel. Always have shows on this channel. the only interesting part of the show is Mr. Evil now playing mr. villain.

Big thank you to whoever is going to recap COUPLE’S WORLD!
It’s the only show I’m hooked on and I can’t wait for the recap.

Otomen: The last one on my list of Japanese shows I wanted to watch with my friends. It deals with gender topics, which has always fascinated me. From now on we are continuing with completed K-dramas, preferably older classic ones. We finished Coffee Prince before, and the next one will be Sassy Go Go/Cheer up! I am waiting for a new K-drama to captivate me, so I hope this one will encourage me to juggle more K-dramas in the future.

In the meantime I have been watching movies to decrease my everlasting movie list. Lately I tend to favor the teenage movies from the eighties on my list. Whenever I cringe or roll my eyes at the clichés, however, I have to remind myself that I should be used to them thanks to K-dramas! 😆

Thanks to lockdown I have plate full of # oops SORRY ( Read in CSY from MLFS style) Table full of dramas
I will find you on a beautiful day : Like a warm soup which refreshes mind
A piece of your mind. : started as a confusing dish like the one I prepare 😝 but turned to taste better
365 Repeat the year : full of twist and turns may be a box of candies with assorted flavours
Hyena : hot Ramen with no morales/ MSG but addictive chemistry
Memorist: bokkuempap kimchi fried rice with eggs one that has mixed emotions
Hi Bye mama: mom made side dishes but nowadays too salty too much of tears 😭
Hospital playlist : chicken and beer
Welcome , skate into love drama : fluffy desert
#stay safe beanies

I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day - Continues to unfold quite nicely. Finally, a nice, warm smile across Eun-seob's face.

Hyena - Kim Hye-soo! What a treat it is to watch her every week.

365: Repeat the Year - What twisted game is this??!

Welcome - I'm not really a cat person, but I decided to watch this anyway. The lead actress is a new face for me and so far I'm liking her. And the cat isn't half bad!

A Couple's World - Wow! The lead actress's friends .... how could they?! This drama is going to be very interesting!

Rugal - Ok, I gave this one a chance and I ended up fast-forwarding the whole thing in about 10 minutes. Not a good sign. Unfortunately, will not be keeping up with this one.

‘The scene where Hyung-jo tries to put the earbuds in Ga-hyun’s ears while she looks at him like’s he’s outta his mind was hilarious.‘
Oh no! I remember that scene, I was just laughing at Ga hyun’s reaction😂. Wow I love that show. Though I won’t be annoyed if there would’ve a little bit of romance between them

I'm still watching 100 Days My Prince. I saw episode 12 last night and I think it lost a bit of momentum. I understand we need an angsty episode where we see Won Deuk/Yul transition back into his palace life but I felt like it dragged a bit. Also, as much as I love Kim Seon Ho I'm having a hard time understanding him and what his thought process is.

And I started my rewatch of My Mister. Simply splendid is all I'm going to say.

I am sooooo behind....

Meow: The Secret Boy - Welcome: 7.8 Good so far (especially the cat!) but I'm only thru day 2.

Nobody Knows: 6.0 - only day 7.

II thought with the lockdown I would have more time to watch dramas, but being home all day, doesn't really mean more time for dramas. And because sometimes I need a break from my dramas addiction, I'm also rewatching season 3 of The Expanse just before going through season 4. If you love sci-fi and you haven't watched it, just go and dive in it, because you won't regret it.

-365 Repeat the year: I'm having lots of fun with this one. I agree that it has that "And then there were none" vibe. Just thinking every eposide who's next. Also trying to overcome my not totally liking Nam Ji-Hyun.

- I'll find you on a beautiful day: I've been talking about this in the fan wall, in the recaps, everywhere I can. I'm absolutely devoted to it. My most favorite thing of it is the siblings relation. Hwi and EunSeob are just fantastic together.

- A piece of your mind. I'm still confused about this show. Love the cinematography, music, and the actors. The story? Well, the story is another thing I have to deal with. Still find it creepy all the stalking, no matter who's the one doing it.

- Memorist. I'm having fun with this one. I don't ask for more. I'm loving the FL.

-Hi Bye Mama! Crying every episode, loving it to the bones, but even so, I see its flaws and I think the show would have been better with just 12 episode.

- Tell me what you saw. I finally finished this on. I liked it, but not loved it. It was fun, and intriguing. The twists were great and I never see them coming, but even so I believe the four last episodes could have just been two.

Because of the lockdown, this week managed to clock in quite a lot of drama episodes...
Loving When the weather is fine. Been spamming the Beaniewall with screencaps and comments about it, so I'll just say that it is beautiful and that probably I'm overinvested in the characters. Where can I apply to a green card to go live in that village? Dramagods, do wrong by my sweeties and you'll suffer my wrath!

Hyena is still super engaging. Yesterday's episode was a bit more like a traditional procedural, but I love Jung Geumja to bits, and I really appreciate it that female characters in this show never fall into cliche behaviour. Well done, drama!

Because Seo Kangjoon came to my attention on WWIF, took up Watcher and, boy!, it is good! Great characters, interesting twists and turns, and the acting ... (*kisses fingers Italian chef style) Kim Hyungjoo, Seo Kangjoon and Han Sukkyu are nailing it, plus KHJ's and SKJ's (non-romantic) chemistry is amazing. Halfway through now.

Besides that, watched this week's A piece of your mind and getting more into the story, it is intriguing, and the actors and general pretiness of the show are managing to keep me engaged.

Finally, been watching Howl's moving castle and the first season of Glee with my kids. That movie is a jewel, Glee is fun.

i haven't been watching much of kdramas these last couple of weeks, maybe because i'm very distracted in my head...anyways, now and then i watch few episodes from Come and Hug Me, Hyena, Memorist and Rugal...there is an entire list of shows that's currently on-hold for me, but i'm hopeful i'll watch them soon
cdramas - it's only been six months since i watched my first cdrama, and some weird voice in my head keeps saying that i may lose access to them soon, so i've been trying to watch as many shows as possible...most of which i think (i know) i will end up dropping/put them on hold:
my roommate is a detective - lighthearted so maybe i'm able to watch this
the sleuth of ming dynasty: very lighthearted, no stress on my brain so i watch this
winter begonia
miss truth
guardians of the ancient oath - production wise, it was fine, and they must have spent enough money, time & energy on this one, so i really hope there are people out there who liked this show but i don't think i can recommend this show to anyone...the best part of this show was the main theme song, i found a new singer to listen to.
forward forever: i could be wrong but the english subs on youtube (via google translate) was weird, & i skipped quite a bit on this one...overall i felt the main actor fit the character very well...and there could have been more screen time for Jackson Yee. i loved the opening theme song...anyone know if this song is on itunes or google play song, i couldn't find it.

365 is surprisingly good! actually started to get a little scared while watching it by myself at night, and i dont remember the last time a drama has done that to me, haha. i think it's def the background music in 365, def giving off eerie vibes.

Ongoing:
1. 365: Repeat the year: Ep 3-4 (5-8) It just keeps on getting interesting. People are dying so fast though. Agree it is like And then there were none.

2. The world of the married: Eps 1-2 I am hooked. Its so interesting. Didn't expect to like it but I do. Hard not to get angry while watching.

3. Hyena: I was worried something bad would happen and it did but worse than I expected. I don't know what to think. Anyway only four episodes left. I can't wait to see how things proceed.

4. Meow the secret Boy: The cat is so cute. I was relieved when the FL said she will keep the cat. I have so many questions, heh. Also the cat turns out to be smart! Lol. Anyway the whole thing is weird but I still like watching. I know I should find it creepy but it's fantasy so it is and it isn't if it makes sense. The second Lead jumped to a conclusion and doesn't even bother asking. I can't ship anyone with anybody.

Other:
What's wrong with Secretary Kim: I watched three more episodes. I think I will finish it next week. I prefer this over IC. There I said it. It's a light watch and I don't get angry. That's how I prefer my dramas. The childhood story was a bit of a horror story, heh. I know it's important for understanding the leads but I wish it wasn't needed.

I have a lot more time at home, but I haven't been watching more dramas. I want to catch up... I just hesitate to push play on a new show.

Enjoying I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day. Love the cast, story, and the recap threads!~ ♥

I like Nobody Knows for the characterization. The boys Dong Myeong and Min Sung getting along and doing positive actions instead of the opposite warmed my heart. I'm so glad they met Young Jin who has affected them in a good way. The crime mystery part isn't grabbing me much.

With the current pandemic news and feeling a little restless, I realized I was lacking humor in my life. I needed to laugh more. To variety shows I go. I picked up a random episode of Running Man. I haven't watched it in a while so most jokes were new to me. It was simply nice to see the familiar faces and frequent banter.

After a few recommendations, I started watching Graceful Family last week and I'm quite enjoying it! I can see how it had such high ratings...and then I also started watching Tiger King on Netflix lol and wow, what a trip that is!

Currently Airing

FIND ME IN YOUR MEMORY: This one is far from being splendid, but there’s just something about it that just makes me want to binge-watch it (which is something I never do. I watched the first 4 episodes practically in one sitting. The 5th episode sadly didn’t get this kind of reaction from me, but hopefully it’ll keep whatever made me keep watching it in the future episode. (ep. 1-5)

HI, BYE MAMA!: This episode didn’t grab me as much as the last episode, even though it was arguably more emotional with the reunion and all. I am surprised that the writers went ahead with having Yu-ri reveal who she is to Gang-hwa. (ep. 3)

I’LL FIND YOU ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY: This one’s super relaxing. I’ve been meaning to catch up but somehow there’s always too little time, even though I’m home more than I’ve ever been before. (ep. 2-3)

Finished Airing

BEAUTY INSIDE: I quite like this one, but the conflict in this one was something I couldn’t figure out in this episode. Felt nonsensical to me. (ep. 7)

When the Weather is Nice: This drama is so satisfying. It feels very balanced, as if the writer and director put a lot of thought into how they wanted the drama to unfold. I love the slow thaw, I guess you could say, of our two leads into this happy warmth they have together. Also, yes they contribute to each other's happiness but they are making decisions and choices for themselves to feel happier. Right when I thought that they may be dragging out Eun-seob's secrets to far they give us answers, just satisfying. I think too they have a nice balance of the leads storylines and the secondary characters storylines. Except for Jang-woo, we need more Jang woo, but I'm trusting they know how to deliver his story.

My Fellow Citizens: I'd picked this gem up a couple months ago and then stalled on it. Not the dramas fault, it is a gem, just a little slump, but now back at it. Its fast paced delivery, humor, and touches of heart are just perfect right now especially in little bite sized half hour segments. I love Mi-young. I like that the show respects her abilities even though they have to find ways of keeping her from the truth, she never comes across as the bumbling police detective. It is so weird to watch and when we are with her I root for her to go kick ass and when we are with Jung-kook I'm rooting for him to be able to deceive her for just a bit longer.

Welcome: I've only watched the first half hour but I liked what I saw. The rest of the eps might be my companion on this rainy Saturday.
Speaking of pets who dont turn into humans, I believe some shelters are really looking for foster parents during this lockdown time. I cant because of the pets I already have, but if anyone needs a lockdown buddy it is just a thought.

Have A Nice Dessert: A quick sweet romantic web series. It stars Kim Hyang-gi and she is adorable here. I also loved her in At 18 and hope to see her more often.

2gether series: It is still working for me. Nice to finally see Tine putting the puzzle together and a resolution to the Green story.

When I'm working my alarm is usually set for 5 am so I tend to go to bed early, I'm too old to be functional on too little sleep, but now my sleep schedule is all turned around. I've been reading late at night until around 2 or so and then sleeping in. I'm over the moon to be reading so much again, but this is something I can not make into a new normal, lol.

a piece of your mind - i like it. i'm personally pro automatization but in a post-capital society so nothing about this is ethical to me. knowing that...i like it! ji soo's existence is really irrelevant as a body (imo) but her as a program with seo woo i love a lot. i still do not understand having seo woo literally say she's in love with it and dropping it (though i love that.) i can't wait to see seo woo grow and seo woo and ha won. i love seo woo so much.

I’LL FIND YOU ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY continues to be our very clear current favorite show. It simply keeps getting better and the insights keep getting deeper. Unfortunately, it apparently does not appeal to a mass audience, which means that a lot of people are missing out on a show which is nothing short of a beautiful work of art.

The T-drama rom-com WONDER WOMAN continues to be very good. As for other Chinese shows we have watched six episodes of UNTAMED while my wife has been binge watching PRINCESS WEI YOUNG which has gorgeous costumes and a very engaging FL.

We continued to enjoy WELCOME and I amlooking forward towatching the next episodes of UNIQUE! CHEF MOON.

Well, I’ve given up for now on trying something new as I just couldn’t settle on anything, so I’m going through a mix of rewatching and trying again on dramas I’ve dropped/put on indefinite hold, with mixed results....

Coffee Prince - I dropped ages ago and couldn’t remember why, because why would you drop Gong Yoo....watched about half an episode and remembered why 😅 the FL is so frustrating

Radio Romance - I also couldn’t remember why I dropped this. Maybe it was his hair. Anyway I couldn’t remember the story AT ALL and it was very confusing so I may have to start all over again, if I can be bothered.

Hwayugi - this has been on hold because the episodes were so long. It’s going back in the rotation. I love Lee Seung gi. That is all.

Miss Hammurabi - I liked this but just stopped watching it....so it can go back in the rotation for now but it’s not a binge watch for me.

You’re All Surrounded - this is a rewatch, and I still really enjoy it. And will probably finish watching this again before anything else.

And lastly the slooooow drawn out watching of Goblin continues....we’re over halfway! The husband is a bit more interested now we’re getting more into past lives but still I think we’ll be watching it till the end of lockdown.

I haven't done one of these in quite a while. Here's what I'm watching:

Hyena - This show is, honestly, amazing. I have no qualms with it. Kim Hye-soo and Joo Ji-hoon are perfect for their roles and their chemistry is electrifying. I also like that our seemingly amoral main characters are now starting to develop consciences (LOL).

I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day - Like it's name, this drama is beautiful. It's quite and understated, but the way this show explores the inner lives of its characters and the way it brings alive the small town in which it is set. Despite the rather extensive dramatis personae, each of the characters are developed - they each have distinct, identifiable personalities - and I'm interested in them all. And the mains are just so lovely, together and as individuals. I knew Park Min-young would be great (I'm a long-term fan), but I've also been pleasantly surprised by Seo Kang-joon (my past experience with has been mixed; I loved him in Watcher but hated him in The Third Charm). I'm hoping the story shifts now to focus on Hae-won again, since we've had quite a bit on Eun-seop for the last few episodes.

Hospital Playlist - I have no complaints with this show. It's a fun watch and all the characters are amusing. I really want Jeong-won to end up with Gyeo-oul (I've said this like one bajillion times on this site, but that just shows how strongly I feel).

A Piece of Your Mind - I'm still a bit on the fence with this one. Episode 2 really fucked with me and the entire story is full of puzzling lacunae. On the other hand, episodes 3 and 4 were really lovely. As well, Seo-woo is an absolutely winsome character and Chae Soo-bin is really rocking this role. I still hate Ji-soo and I still find Ha-won sort of weird and contemptible, but overall I've enjoyed 3 out of the 4 as-of-now aired episodes enough to give this show at least two more weeks.

Welcome - This show is dumb and silly. Jae-seon is frustrating, Seol-ah is childish and clingy (the stuff her colleagues said about the female protagonist in Beodul Love is absolutely spot-on as a description of Seol-ah), and the source of tension between Jae-seon and Seol-ah strains credulity (seriously, flap your damn gums Jae-seon). Every moment Kim Myung-soo is on my screen induces eye rolling and yawning. Still, I'm bored enough to stick with this show.

Kocowa released two new weekenders last week. I gave each of them a try. I'm not gonna stick with them. They're both stupid.

Find Me In Your Memory is still my favorite among the shows I'm currently watching though I wasn't able to watch all of this week's episodes with everything going on (just moved to my home office and all). I still have minimum interest in the whole stalker story besides it bringing the leads together. I still find Ha Jin completely adorable and Jung Hoon is continuing to fall for her despite himself. He is telling everyone (probably including himself) that his protectiveness of Ha Jin is because something similar happened to his "friend" but I think he is in deeper than he realizes.

She has told him a little bit about how her brain is not functioning properly but he told her to live in the present and don't force herself too much to remember. I wasn't expecting her to ask directly whether he knew her from before but that's one of the things I like about her. She is a very open character and usually says whatever is on her mind (including in her social media posts - to the frustration of her manager LOL).

When the weather is fine: still my fave every week. This week's episodes were particularly moving because of the background story on Eun Seob, finally.

Hyene: binge watched and caught up on this, and I understand where the rave abt it is coming from: it.is.so.good!! I usually dnt like legal dramas, but for some reasons this felt different and I just couldnt stop watching it. The duo Geum-Ja/ Hee Jae has so much chemistry either at work or just in simple conversations. A true delight!

A Couple's World

Like @missvictrix, I am addicted to this show. It is a weird kind of makjang, not full-blown, but there in liberal doses at the climactic scenes of betrayal - heavy breathing, wringing of hands, the murderous eyes, and, of course, the splendid swell of makjang violins rising to a crescendo. I am deeply grateful to this show for making me FEEL again. I was numb after FOREST.
