Was It Love (Episode 5-6)
‘I don’t care how long it takes, I want to be the one next to you in the end’: okay show, you finally forced my hand and I will now have to give up on the Yeon Woo ship cause that just sounds obsessive and possessive. I will only board again if there’s any sign of Ae Jung reciprocating, now that he’s confessed (she didn’t even open the letter the second time!).
It’s also super cliche that they had given the second male lead a good start in the romance race before handing him all the negative traits (with Dae Oh getting the opposite treatment) as well as the obstacles (his crazy mom) while second female lead is just written as the devil from the start. I wonder if she will be a consolation prize for someone in the end.

On another note, I honestly don’t understand why they ever had Ryu Jin and Pa Do as Ae Jung’s suitors: all the scenes so far point to Dae Oh and Yeon Woo as the leading men, while their scenes appear just like a side arc. This show very much may have been the classic love triangle with Ryu Jin’s arc as an actor who lost passion in acting but rediscovers it from Ae Jung’s directing and Pa Do’s arc as the single parent who struggles in parenting and gets help from Ae Jung. The arcs could highlight her competence and life experience, reawakening her sense of self. I’m not even a paid writer!

Memorials (Episode 7-8 / 13-16)
Being politically naive, I think it was a great arc for Se Ra to get duped by the trio of conservative politicians: it sets the stage for her growth in this career and will probably allow her to focus on being a sharper knife around others. I hoped last week that the second leads would be developed in a satisfactory manner and it still feels rather cloudy. Hee Soo is still always placed against Se Ra I felt sorry their alliance fell apart, while Min Jae is still a wildcard that can’t be easily read: he may have engineered the chairman vote but I feel secret double agent vibes from him. Or is it just my fantasy?

Graceful Friends (Episode 3-4)
Now that the murder has finally occured, I really question the production’s decision in not starting the show with all the interrogations of the leads which would then flow nicely into the crucial events such as the date rape and the funeral. I also find the tone very uneven: at times you can feel the tension from the parallel murder mysteries yet at other times it is comedic relief from Chun Bok’s prostate issues; with a 20 year conspiracy breaking at the seams it seems weird that I am laughing while watching the scenes that have nothing to do with the whodunit and are therefore pretty redundant.

Also watching: My Unfamiliar Family (Episode 15-16) / It's Okay to Not Be Okay (Episode 9-10) / Men Are Men (Episode 5-6 / 9-12) / Backstreet Rookie (Episode 9-10)

CRICKET - Good Test 2 - West indies disappointed the way they played and didn't fight much. Every Ingridents was there to make it a very spicy test. Still it was good 4 days of play and 1 rainy day.

3rd Test - West Indies ahead and then England gains momenum. 2nd day going on live - West indies gains in 1st hour and then Broad brings England back in the game quite strongly. This is why i love cricket. Cricket is love, Cricket is life.

Japan -

Yokohama Ryusei is +ve, Hamabe Minami -ve. Show won't air in August most likely. Omai Omoware, Furi Furare promotion going strong.

Mr. Nagisa My housekeeper aka Male maid - 7.5 out of 10. manga to live. haha, another good enjoyable episode that raise few more social concerns.

Cinderella - manga to live.Twitter trend again. 7 out of 10. Yup Yup this show has more credibility than any of fake doctor profession kdrama ever be.

Nina my Love - 7/10 - manga to live. Okada Kenshi isn't shining here but heroine's earlier experience with Chikan and how muc it affected the heroine. good one.

Guilty - 6/10. manga to live-action. Cheating wife and then turn out cheating husband. This drama is taking manga fast and its action is upper level. Popcorn ready for more drama. Can be in top 10 Japanese shows of the 2020.

Peanut Butter Sandwich - 6/10 manga to live. Still a good short timepass.

Love - Distance - 7.5 out of 10. What beautiful 1st 2 episodes. Little Boy is the main character here. Husband 0 wife relationship surely is quite sweet.

Reply 1994 (8/21): I would not mind having the same length and amount of episodes as in Reply 1997, but I prefer this bunch of college students and their individual stories. Haitai is still my greatest love❤️. I still do not get the whole “should I open the door or keep it closed?” dilemma. Apparently the boys are idiots for not knowing that they are not supposed to take it literally and that they should say what the girls actually want to hear instead (Are you okay? I miss you too,…). As a woman I was as confused as they were and now I fear I am missing something. There is nothing wrong with wanting to hear your boyfriend say certain things out loud, but I think you can accomplish that a lot quicker if you are more direct with him, no?🤷

Memorials/Into The Ring (6/16): Seo Gong-Myung❤️! I was anticipating this show from the first announcement, but why oh why did I postpone pressing play until I could no longer postpone real life as well?🤦‍♀️ My second half of July is more swamped than Gong-Myung’s desk at work, so I am hoping to catch up and join in on the live watch by the time our OTP gets together.

Mori who stole the Beanie’s hearts (4/30): I am glad I paused this sageuk right when Gil Dong’s childhood chapter ended before I was forced into a small K-drama hiatus. Now I can officially meet Mori and the other grown up characters as soon as calm August (🙏) arrives, without risking time or memory gaps.😁

Men are Men: This drama is so bizarre. It is a series of inappropriate actions propelling this storyline of past lives. I have no idea why I am watching this. I think I just like Hwang Jung Eum's character. All the characters are inappropriate, pushy, and just the slightest bit off. 😅

The Good Detective: I continue to enjoy the dynamic between our three leads. Their personal interactions are the best parts of the show. I don't care one way or another about the case, but the rest of it is great.

My unfamiliar family: This was a gem of a drama. I was content and happy from start to finish. I felt fully satisfied by the end and that is all you can ask from in a drama. ❤️❤️❤️

Memorials: I just love Gu-Se Ra and her motley band of helpers. Her conversations with Ja Ryong are my favorite though. She treats him like a mini adult and it is hilarious. As for her interactions with Gong Myung, they are really adorable. I don't trust her ex at all and I don't appreciate him using her like this especially since she advocated for him with the Chairman. Fighting Se-Ra.

Train: UHHHHH, I didn't watch episode 4 not because I didn't have time, but because I forgot. If I remember I will watch it, but honestly it isn't a drama I actively think about. I think because there are a number of plot holes and all the interesting things happen in the last 10 minutes of the drama. This is giving me awful Goblin flashbacks and I neither want nor deserve that, 😜😅

It's Okay not to Be Okay: When a drama so enthralls you, you hold off on watching it until you are fully relaxed to enjoy it from the start of it's fabulous episode until the end. I love this drama so much and look forward to my Saturdays. I can't wait to watch today's episode.❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m currently only keeping up with Into The Ring/Memorials and I’m liking it so much. Goo Se-Ra is just so extra, with lots of spunk and everything else. I’m rooting so hard for her! And I love her supportive friends/sidekicks. On the OTP front, she & Gong Myung just complement each other so well. The preview of Ep9 is making me all excited hee...

Fighting, Goo Se-Ra. Sarang-Hae!

The Good Detective There is nothing original in this show but I really like the actors and their characters.

My Unfamiliar Family I totally agree with @missvictrix it's one of my favourite with A Piece of your Mind too. The characters were really written : human, with default, raw. To see this broken family discovering what is to be a family was really great. The support characters were interesting too, not too invasive in the story or cliché.

Memorials It's a weird little gem! The camera work gives so much fun to the story. The couple is super cute, I love their bickering.

Backstreet Rookie The scenes with DH's family are beautiful. They're so warm with each other. I'm really excited to see DH falling for SB!

It's Okay to Not Be Okay Because of KSH, I took a bubble tea today and I forgot it was meal in itself... I'm very excited to see their Jenga game on The Swoon tomorrow!

When the weather is fine: I decided to binge this one finally and just as I expected it was a calming story filled with characters harbouring a lot of hurt and pain. I know I’ve seen PMY play heartbreakingly sad in seven day queen but her character here feels different and her range in the last few episodes when see finds out the truth blew me away. The girl needs to do more melodramas.

Men are men: the love triangle is already wearing me down but I’m hoping the interaction with the secondary characters means something, and they aren’t gonna string me along because I’m starting to ship them. Also I need more alone time with Yoon hyun min and hwang jung eum!

Please, self, watch My Unfamiliar Family now.

@quirkycase, My Unfamiliar Family already ended.

Its Okay to Not be Okay - It was a sad couple of episodes for our cursed castle inhabitants. Past hurts resurfaced and stuffs were said that needed to be said. And some were just really harsh. Now things are heating up and cant wait to watch today's episode.

Reply 1988 - I still love the family dynamics and friendships that they shared. Maybe in another rewatch I will feel like I am reacquainting with old friends. Now in episode 12, Jung-bong is such a cuddly bear and just now realize what Mi-Ok saw in him. Nothing wrong with JB, I love him to bits but he reminds me of her father who is another cuddly bear. 😆

It's Okay To Not Be Okay: oh boy did these episodes make me bawl my eyes out. I was so sorry for the brother and Moon Young. As much as ig was heartbreaking, it was necessary for the brothers to deal with the incident so that they can move forward.
Memorials: My heart went out to Se Ra when she was betrayed by the politician trio and when she was ambushed with the chairman position. I'm glad it happened though. It will make her stronger and more aware of what she is up against. Also Gong Myung keeps stealing my heart and his smile this week wrecked me.
A Poem A Day: Two episodes kn and I hate Bo Young's colleagues. Dr Yes advice has me cracking up like anything

My unfamiliar family. What a beautiful show this has been. It’s been a while since I didn’t watch such a well acted drama. All cast was fantastic. I will really miss my Kim family, specially the siblings. I can’t recommend enough to anyone who hasn’t watched to do it: you will not be disappointed.

Men are men. This is a really awkward watching. I can’t get where we are going with the leads and all to the characters (honestly they can be all a bit creepy), but I can’t stop laughing whenever mum and dad are onscreen, so I’m still watching but please, don’t ask me why.

The Good Detective.Perfect balance between mystery, tropes and a very weird sense of humor. I’m enjoying and having fun!

Memorials. This little gem is so perfect I can’t believe it’s really happening. I love everything: the cinematography, the use of camera, the acting, the quirkiness, the OST, the atmosphere. Everything!! And above all our weirdly extra cute OTP. Show, episode 9 preview better not be a tease, I’m really serious about it.

Also watching It’s Okay not to be Okay but I’ve spammed the wall and the comments section enough, and finished The Producers, so I may go with Moon embracing the sun because I find my KSH lives in blood too low on Mondays….

And finally, I was trying to hold on my rewatch of Secret Forest for another week, but beanies keep talking about it and I can’t help it!!! I’ve already began. Oh, I’m enjoying every minute. Have I ever told you is my very favorite drama ever? Well: it’s my all time favorite drama ever!!!

Stranger/Forest of Season: I'm watching this again so my mind is fresh when season 2 starts. It's not as fun like the first watch because plot twists made this drama so good, still enjoyable.

Train: Really like how smooth and clean
the transitions of two alternate universes. I really hope they can sustain the quality until the end.

Men Are Men This drama has such a strange premise but instead of exploring that, it's turning into another Born Again. A drama that doesn't know where it wants to go. I should forget curiosity and drop this.

IONTBO I like messy and twisted characters, the crazier the better, but in order to enjoy my psychos I need one of two things. They must have some kind of moral conscience or show has to question their actions. I don't need them to get punished but I don't want violence and abuse to be used for romance and comedy. It leaves a sour taste and it has a bad habit of making ordinary people side with the monsters. Besides there are actions that happen only to advance the plot. There is suspension of disbelief and there is illogical and out of character behavior. It's probably best to put this drama on hold and maybe return later.

Graceful Friends - Why is this not popular? Where are all the Sky Castle fans? It has the same vibe only less polished. It even has a similar catchy music theme and mysterious villain. No obvious big social commentary, but if you pay attention there a lot of social issues being presented and so many cliches reversed. I know first ep was a bit confusing and the comedy isn't really funny but I really respect when dramas try to have more realistic characters. The friendship among the guys and secrets between them are quite interesting. The cast is good. Maybe the characters are not so easy to like for the audience? The main guy is pretty amazing though, he is surprisingly modern for kdramaland.

Into the Ring - I want to like this more than I do. The guy is nerdy, stubborn, methodical and wants to do good but I'm not sure if he respects the FL, did he let go of the baton on purpose? Why did he keep laughing at the rooftop? The FL has a strong desire to help society and people, I like her so much for that but she needs to be less exaggerated and her father needs to be less ridiculous, he has already thrown her out of the house twice for no good reason.

It's okay to not be okay: man, the acting in this is just wow! My weekly and among my half year favorites. It's the only drama I look forward to weekly. The story and the characters are poignant. Am hoping the Mum being Park Ok Ran is a red herring.

Men are Men: watched until mid episode 3, and Idk how they will keep the love triangle plot for 16 episodes 😳😳. I caught myself falling asleep and decided to drop.

My unfamiliar family: this was one interesting drama! I loved it from beginning to end, loved the struggle of each character and their growth. I loved the way the story was told. It was such an insightful look into the meaning of family and the importance of family relationships, communication. I think it is among this year's favorite for me. Very well written!

Dinner mates: skipped episodes 12 through 14, read the recaps and picked it up at ep 15. Still trying to finish episode 16. Am so sad abt what the drama ended up as. The beginning was so nice with the chemistry of both leads, it ended up being such a waste of potential!

My Unfamiliar Family: Added to my Top 10 list. Great drama from beginning to end. Wonderful cast. Loved the character arcs, especially for my girl, Eun Joo. One of my favorite friends to lovers story lines.

Into the Ring/Memorials: Min Jae is a devious little snake. Se-ra as chairwoman with Gong Myung as her secretary was not a twist I was expecting, but I’m here for it.

The Good Detective: Still liking the leads interaction.

Chip-In/United Effort to Accomplish One Thing: I like it! It does give me Knives Out vibes. The whole family is a mess.

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay: Episode 9 and 10 had a lot to unpack. ST and KT broke my heart.

Train: Still have to watch Episode 4. I like that they have a transition when they change universes.

Graceful Friends: Lee Tae Hwan was entertaining as the blackmailer.

How Do You Play: I’m going to be sad when the SSAK3 project ends. Last week’s episode was so funny with the chip PPL and the filming of the MV, especially Rain and Hyo-ri and the phone booth. They lived up to their name and swept the charts!

Memorials / Into the Ring: 8.5 Nana is brilliant here and the director isn't bad either -- or at least their styles fit each other and the script. Also, in most shows when the poor lead is being mistreated I want to change channels because I don't like watching that, but in this show I grin because I know something will happen Real Soon Now. Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but karma is best served within the hour :)

It's OK to Not ... Take a Long Drive Off a Short Pier aka It's OK to ... Eat at Subway aka It's OK to ... Break Up Because You Love Each Other: 8.0

Train: 8.0 Getting up to speed this week.

United Effort to Accomplish One Thing / Chip In: 7.5 Chip in? No, cashed out. And was the "One Thing" killing him off to stop him from giving his money to someone outside? Are any of the others capable of such a "United Effort"??

Men Are Men & The Good Detective On hold, probably drop.

Memorist: 7.5 I'm up to day 10, from watching at the blistering pace of about one hour per month. I kinda lose track because someone keeps erasing the details from my month-old memories, but I swear I will finish in time for the year-end bean count.

Hi everyone! I hope everything’s going well with you and your families :)

This week I finished both Tale of Nokdu and Memorist, continued Train and CLOY, and started I’ll Find You on a Beautiful Day, Psychopath Diary, and *drumroll, please* IONTBO!! I finally got over my fear of crying after each episode feels that was instilled in me by the Beanies fan wall page because of this show LOL

Note: I apologize in advance for the incredibly long post 😬)

Tale of Nokdu: This one I wanted to finish as soon as I could. I couldn’t handle watching it over an even longer period of time haha. The ending was perfect and I thoroughly appreciated how they tied up the resolutions for each character after establishing themselves as their own with everything that made them human (and inhumane). It had to be one of the cutest endings I’ve seen in awhile. Since watching METS, I’ve always had a soft spot for sageuks and for KSH and it’s safe to say this drama fulfilled my expectations on both fronts! JDY was a treat to watch and I don’t think I’ll ever get over his antics in the widow village or how beautiful he really is as a woman. Definitely a treat to watch and I really enjoyed it!!

Memorist: I’m a sucker for true crime dramas and Voice was a perfect example of them. When I found out that YSH was starring in one of them, I just had to watch it. Overall, I liked it but there were so many maybe leads and too much going back and forth for my liking. The amount of unnecessary and completely avoidable routes our leads went on got to be too much and I just got more and more confused as the story went on. In all honesty, the middle felt like a dragged out wild goose chase. There were quite a bit of plot holes and things that went unanswered throughout the drama, but I guess you needed to just get over that fact LOL The last two/three episodes definitely picked up and I really enjoyed watching them. Throughout the show, YSH and LSY’s characters really didn’t have very well established backgrounds (in comparison to what you would find in your everyday rom-com/slice of life show), but they definitely made the characters their own and it speaks to their acting prowess. I’m not sure if it’s re-watching material, but I didn’t hate it! Which I guess is a good sign?

Train: Holy heck, I’m in love with the pacing. Nothing seems like it’s dragging or going too fast but we’re learning more about each of the characters in both of the worlds gradually which makes for great character development. I’m really glad that last week’s episodes focused on the second world and I appreciated how the director cleared up any confusion over the similarities and differences multiple times from the get-go. So far, I’m also really enjoying the suspense. It perfectly matches the speed at which we’re progressing and keeps me wanting more! Acting wise, YSY’s double acting particularly stands out. The ease in which he’s able to switch...

My Unfamiliar Family: This drama was my happy place and got me through each week. Sad that it's over but it definitely earned a place in my favorite dramas list.
Into the Ring: This was something I started to fill in the void that My Unfamiliar Family was going to leave but boy was I in for a surprise. I am one hundred percent in love with it. I love the characters, our couple, the cinematography and the whole premise of it. Second-Half-Of-The-Show, please do not disappoint me!

Individualist Ms. Ji-Young - It was just 2 episodes, it was funny, cute, sad. It had moments of great writing, but moments where it was just not there. But I blame the time. If this was 5 episodes, it would have been perfect. I wanted more from them. I will watch this again, someday.

My Unfamiliar Family: Can I say this? Do I dare to say this? Because this is my "Melo is my Nature" of 2020. This is one of the best dramas of the year. I was shy at first and took a while to finish the first episode, but it is truly, an amazing drama. Currently at episode 7.

Its okay, not to be okay: I had to drop after episode 9. Maybe I will come back some day, maybe not. Her manic episodes is not for me. I finished every episode feeling bad for KT. Not just bad, but sad. I like the other couple more, Jung-Tae and A-Reum.

Graceful Friends - The writing needs a bit of polishing. I am more curious than entertained.

I'm just watching Train over and over again (plus old dramas). I was watching almost all the current dramas, but they have lost all appeal since all my drama needs in Train

My Unfamiliar Family: A Nice Watch with refreshing realism, I liked it but not as much as other Beanies (my beans are safe on this one, lol) because I was dissatisfied with how the mom was put on a pedestal at the end - I'm her age so I am looking at this as a fellow mom, rather than as a child burdened with my own mom-guilt (yes we all have it) - and she never had to acknowledge or make amends for her own part in the family history of secrecy and distance.
It's OK to Not Be OK: This show continues to blow me away in terms of story, acting, cinematography...you name it, it's got it all, and it is not pulling any punches. So far, my favorite drama of the year.
Symphony's Romance: After two problematic adaptations, finally a Nodame Cantabile I can get behind. I am surprised because usually Chinese adaptations are lazily written knockoffs, poorly acted and edited by a deranged cockatiel somewhere but this drama - while the editing is still poor, especially in terms of a story arc within an episode, the acting is actually pretty good and they have solved many of the problem areas of Nodame. They got rid of the cartoonish violence that marred both the manga and the Japanese version, they got rid of horndog Stresemann and gave the character a much more believable and poignant story arc. And our male lead is less the stereotypical cold man and also a lot more believable. And they have done a much, much better job of presenting classical musicians and musical life. I was a music minor in college and played the viola so I have very high standards and can tell that they chose leads with some training and did some remarkable editing with doubles (mostly in the piano sections) to make the playing remarkably realistic. Highly Recommend.

Watched Memorials until ep 8. It might seem unrelated but I keep thinking about Stove League while watching Memorials. Guess both dramas have the same refreshing good vibe.

The Host: I finally summoned up the courage to watch this. My husband has been pulling me along with him as he watches his way through a list of monster movies that aren't just about the monster. I have to admit most of them have been good and not too scary. The monster in The Host was probably the scariest looking one of the bunch, but I think because we see it so early on I wasn't jumping and screaming throughout. I even appreciated the graceful way it moved. I can see why this is a Korean masterpiece, but did have a few bones to pick. When Bae Doona showed up, I was so excited! She had a really interesting character and we all know she is an amazing actress. But then... she really didn't do much or say much or really add much to the story. I seemed like a waste.
Time to Hunt: Another movie. I couldn't resist the cast, but the movie was just a so-so action movie that had me yelling things like, "No, it's not safe to take a rest yet!!" at the screen. I thought the ending was good but I would have liked to see it play out.
My Unfamiliar Family: Ah, I'm just never going to understand why Korea romanticizes the year-of-travelling-alone as the cure all for self healing? But, I can't say that it ruined what was otherwise a truly spectacular show. Just so well acted and the characters were written with depth and heart. I loved it! Thank you random YouTube clip for making me curious enough to check out this show.
Backstreet Rookie: Caught up. I'm probably going to see it through to the end, but only because... I'm not sure why.
IOTNBO: I really hated that KT was so cruel to MY on the beach. He knows that her secret fear is being abandoned and her deep loneliness. I don't think sending the other girl to her house makes up for it either. That said, I'm still excited to watch today's episode and she how this turns out...

I think I need help. Or maybe therapy....

I have gone down the Thai BL hole and have been stuck there this entire week (besides taking a bit of time to catch up on my C-variety shows).

It first started with Thai BL drama “Love By Chance” :
I did my first watch FF-ing thru it and only watching the parts of the main OTP. Then I went back to watch for the supporting characters and the other couples/pairings. Then, I went back a third time to dissect it as I watched it, concentrating on the little (possible missed) details. Yesterday, I went back for a fourth watch, making time stamps for my favourite moments in the drama (i.e. confession scenes and whatnot). I now know what happens in which episode 👌🏻

This morning, o began watching another Thai BL series, “WHY R U?”, as one of the main actors is also from “Love By Chance”

Help.

Itaewon Class - finished. Overall I'm really satisfied with this drama. Have to say I do find Park Seo Joon a little underwhelming here, I keep expecting more right up to the last episode. I also find the romance with Kim Da Ni unconvincing. Kim Da mi was really, consistently bad-ass till the very end. My favorite here has to be Kwon Na Ra. She is amazing here. I had to say when I first saw her in My Ajusshi, she is a pretty face, supporting character, but was a little more than that. Here, I actually thought she is the lead actress in this drama. Too many supporting cast to name here, but all of them are amazing.

IOTBNO - watched this week episodes. It keeps getting better. I actually wanted to drop after the first two episodes, as I think they overplayed on Moon Young character, it feels like they are forcing her badness down our throat. But now I really love all the characters, flawed or unflawed. Oh Se Jung is amazing here as the autistic man-child.

Men are Men - it's a drop after 5 episodes. This drama is so old-school rom-com. None of the supporting cast is interesting, YHM is dreadfully underwhelming here, SJH is sweet but that's about it.

Mystic Bar - first episode. So far intrigued with the story. I have to say HJE really suits the character here. Choi Won Young is always a good supporting cast, and YSJ character is still a mystery.

MEN ARE MEN and WAS IT LOVE: Both of these shows have hit choppy waters in script and direction. Both shows are drifting from straight comedy to sudden straight dramas. At times, HJE and her parents are doing comedy while the rest of the cast is not. Same with SJH. Also both shows seems to sprung their suitor trap on themselves. None of the men in these shows have any great attributes to make the FLs fall in love with them.
ONCE AGAIN. When Father lost his wallet, I knew immediately he will be scammed by his fake "lost" sister to lose just about everything. And then delivery boy will save the family.
Variety:
HOW DO YOU PLAY?: Again, the post production music videos were very good. SK still knows how to produce MVs.
HOUSE ON WHEELS: I realize what I like most about this show: the host and guests conversations. As a tech society, people do not have in-person conversations.

It's okay to not be okay has completely devoured me in its plot and execution. I've completely fallen for actor Kim Soo Hyun once again. Saying I am loving it and him in it is an understatement. I'm practically living it at this moment. It's as if I am a voyeur waiting for the curtains to be drawn out each week to observe the drama characters and how their days are going. Kinda in a 'rear window'-ish way, waiting for the killer to be revealed in each episode. While rooting for the new romantic couple, watching the regular family life at Juri's, and finding flaws at the work area in ok hospital. Last time I was this crazy about a live watch was back in 2017, it was goblin.
By the time IOTNBO finishes I am pretty sure it'll take the top spot of my favorite list for a long long time.
Other than that I am rewatching YFAS/MLFAS. And realized Lee Yi Kyung really came through a long way. I'm glad he made it to be a recognizable actor.

I can never watch just one show at once so right now I'm watching...

My Love From the Star (on ep 4) - my favorite kdrama so far. minjoon and songyi are the perfect mains. i love that they're opposites but are both drawn to each other still. and the premise is right up my alley. i love, love, love this series so much. i'm so happy it came into my life.

The K2 (on ep 9) - i know there are some who say this show isn't that good, but i love it. the action is amazing, the little bit of romance between je-ha and an-na is cute and sweet. and of course, i absolutely love jcw so je-ha is one of the many loves of my life right now.

My Secret Romance (on ep 5) - this is a breath of fresh air show. it's cute, fun, sexy, romantic. it's perfect. the otp of the series and their ust is chef's kiss. i'm having tons of fun watching this.

Crash Landing on You (on ep 3) - so good! the characters are amazing. the chemistry between the otp is 11/10. i love the two worlds collide plot. it's a nice watch so far.

Bring It On, Ghost (on ep 4) - there's just something about a ghost and a live person falling in love that makes me interested. i don't recall laughing so hard at a show in a long while. all of the main characters have made me laugh numerous times, i love them all. and the otp of the series are so darn cute together. i love them and the show and everything is just great so far.

Boys Over Flowers (almost finished with ep 1) - the show is good so far, not the greatest but it's interesting. my first instance of second lead being better for the main fl, but sadly i know already how this goes. :( i'll still watch the show though because i like to put myself through pain some times. will continue watching eventually.

Master's Sun (on ep 2) - the main ml is such an a-hole, but i love gong-shil, she's cute and adorable. i'm looking forward to her breaking through that a-hole/tough exterior of the main male lead. he'll cave soon, i know he will. i really love the premise of this series. girl sees ghosts, girl touches guy and ghosts go poof, now girl will stop at nothing to be near guy to save herself from the ghosts. guy is annoyed but secretly is totally into it. right up my alley. i love it!!

Currently watching:
Men are men: This show is littered with awkward, weird characters. I have seen obsessive second female lead but CEO of medical foundation takes the cake. She stalked ML lead in his previous life and now she is forcing her daughter to stalk ML in his current life.
Come on Lady, get a life. Leave your poor daughter alone
The saving grace of this show is parents. In earlier episodes I was impressed with FML. She was quite logical but I think her personality is about to take turn for worse. None of her friends are interesting and I am not sure if they need to be in the story.
Was it love : I do not like FML. She is coming across as incompetent and bumbling candy. None of her problems are getting solved because of her actions. Her problems are getting solved for her by her suitors.
The only characters I like is the bar owner and the children.
I think I am going to drop both of these shows.
