Between Park Bo-gum (Record of Youth), Lee Jae-wook (Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol), Lee Do-hyun and Choi Bo-min (18 Again), my heart flutters every day of the week. K-dramas forever perpetuating my impossible standards for men.

Little Boy - 1115 - October 19 wow.

Real fun is just about to start - 1175k - November 19

Tennis - yeah yeah. Run the best ever athletics scientific analysis and you will be find no more than 1 making a peak. Tennis has that potential.

Stock Market will be fun October last week - November 1st week.

Day 4 introducing my new two kittens to my older cat is very stressful, with lots of hissing, growling, and a slap from my older cat. I watch every youtube tutorial video and nothing seems to work. Should I just accept the fact that they won't get along? :'(

I am so annoyed right now but also okay. South Asian dads can be so annoying when you have to get something done. My dad nags us so much almost all the time that it gets on my nerves. I've established a schedule for myself and when he comes home for the weekends, he just disrupts it entirely. Sometimes I get so angry at my parents fir the amount of judgement they pass. Also since my brother ruined our PC, I will have to endure a lecture on that too, even though it was no fault of mine. The only good thing about life seems to be 18 Again. Taht show just hits you in the feels. I was bawling ka yeh end of episode 8. Tale of Gumiho was underwhelming this week but still enjoyable. Anyway I hate the fact that most south asian parents dont know how to respect their children. It can really make you bitter sometimes

I dont know how to exist between Do you like Brahms and Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol in the same time and space in this world. My feelings are so confused.

Also, I feel like people want Song-A and Joon-Young to end together for the sake of a happy ending.

So it's snowing here already, and it's only October 16. We haven't had a hard freeze yet, so it probably won't stick, but this is still ridiculous - and I usually love snow! But I don't think I've ever seen it arrive so early in my whole life.

But a friend just send a short video where she turned the snow into glitter, so that makes me feel better.

I'll try to imagine I'm just in Dramaland, and the first snow means calling your crush and having a heartbreaking near miss with your fated love getting off the elevator a split second too early.

Time to find my fuzzy sweaters!

The daytime k-dramas that run 100+ episode pretty much really suck, but on the other hand some scenes are just funny, or stupid-funny. I watch My Wonderful Life occasionally (with a lot of fast forwarding), and the gaping plot holes fascinate me, not to mention just how stupid some roles can be. Latest episode: clueless mother tells (switched at birth) daughter to dump her kids and marry some guy to take care of HIS kids.

Just one of the weird and useless things I do waiting for Lie After Lie to get subbed...

Hi beanies! Hope you all stay safe, happy and healthy, always! ❣️

What I’ve been up to? TMI:
Aside from catching up with kdramas, I am also trying to finish off my reading bucketlist!! And so far, I am the happiest to finally finish Mitch Albom’s hit: the 5 people you meet in heaven & the next person you meet in heaven. 💫
I realized so many things (now I know why people loved those books!!) and changed my perspective as well! That is to be grateful in all things, big or small. 💝

Hello Beanies! I hope you’re all well.

The big news here is that it’s snowing! I’m not mentally prepared for white stuff falling out of the sky just yet.

The entertainment world continues to be transformed by the Covid and local lock downs. Many theater chains are headed toward bankruptcy.

The new CEO at Disney has decided to change how it will do business. It will no longer specify or target distribution for its new projects. In the past, a franchise movie would have a big budget for a worldwide theater audience. Now, the company will make films, shows and sports events to be later determined how they will shown to viewers.

It is a major shift in philosophy. Revenue is different for theater releases, cable subscription, pay--per view, or free TV (ad supported). Disney had moved several theater animation releases to Disney + and PPV. In the long run, this shift will shrink production budgets and limit creativity.

The same is true for live concerts. Venues have been closed for most of the year. But now, top acts are going the pay-per-view streaming route. BTS had its recent concert seen by one million viewers in 191 countries.

OT 678’s Se-hee and Jiho photo will make @mindy happy 😊

Finally. Am here. It was so hard these past few weeks.

Hi beanies, it's always good to be here, i miss reading these comments and in-depth of dramas. Whenever am here i understand dramas more than i do when i watch them.
Thanks beanies for being here. Stay health

Happy weekend Beanies and keep Beaning On!

My K-drama friend has fallen ill and will not be able to visit me this weekend, because she has to wait for the results of her covid test first. I am trying to stay positive for her sake and I am looking for something else to occupy myself with this weekend, but I am afraid I will start overthinking things again instead.😬

The state department invited the 200 best candidates that passed their interview, me included, to pick teams and locations where they wanted to be stationed. I am this close to employment, and whether it will happen or not depends entirely on the choices the many candidates higher on the list made. Now I am anxious about both not getting the job, and finally getting the job and everything that entails at the same time!😯

The worst part of it all is the wait for the end of the uncertainty. I usually take a holiday in the infamous pit of K-dramas and other fandoms whenever that happens, but I took that too far last year and did not get out of my life slump for a while. In order to be ready for possible employment and to avoid repeating that mistake, I have been postponing K-dramas and fandoms ever since the job exams ended late September. However, I am not sure if and for how long this strategy will work. Things have been rough since August, so regular escapes to recharge are necessary if I must stay strong for a while longer.😩

A big thank you to all Beanies for knowing when to keep things light, when to offer comfort, and when it is necessary to remind me that it is not my fault, but 2020. Two and a half months left to go!😉❤️

Happy Friday!!

Tale of the Nine Tailed - finished ep 3. I'm probably going to have to switch to weekend daytime viewing for this, since the horror factor is becoming a bit much for me.. haha.. otherwise, I'm totally enjoying it.

Her Private Life - finished ep 4, watching during my workouts. Perfect mix of fluff and (what seems like) every drama trope under the sun. Also, Kim Jae Wook in a lead rom-com role! The last drama I saw him in was Coffee Prince, which was like a decade ago. His presence alone is fueling my workout motivation.. swoon...

Hello there all you wonderful beanies and the DB staff who makes this connection possible for all of us.
What a week - DYLB and ROY left me feeling so sad, but thank goodness I had Zombie Detective to balance it out.
DoSoLa (can't write the whole title) is just the right amount of fluff for right now - and I am even liking Go Ara for once.
9-tailed Fox is fun - just to see all the side-eyes and smirks our fox gives to his lady-love. More than Friends - is still good and I look forward to our leads growing up emotionally.

But the good news is that I GOT the job! REALLY and truly this time!!!
It had to go through a different consulting company - and so I asked for more $$ per hour and got it!!! So if all goes well I'll be gainfully employed on the 26th! Whew - the stress relief is huge and so now I can work in the garden and watch dramas without feeling guilty that I should be looking for work.

And I got my ballot in the mail yesterday and will drive it to the ballot box next week.

To everyone who is struggling to get through the days I've found one thing that helps me - and that is to find something that brings me joy every day. Even if it is watching the birds splash in the bird bath - I'll take that.
So take care and keep beaning on - we've got so many new dramas to watch!!!
Stay safe, where a mask and VOTE if you are in the US!

Hi Beanies! Just wanted to check in, tell you that I’ve been faithfully watching Record of Youth (PBG is 💜), DYLB? (why show?), and Nine-tailed (the horror, but Kim Bum is a revelation), and trying to keep my head above the covid water. Stay healthy, everyone!

i'm surprised how much i liked When I Was the Most Beautiful...
*sniffles*

Hi beans. I hope everyone had a good week and will proceed to have an amazing weekend 😊.

As a reminder: there's only 10 days left to 26 October 2020! 10 days left to Kairos premiere!!!! 🥳

I'm so excited. I've been keeping an eye on this drama since the casting talks back in March 2020. Fast forward 8 months later...and I'm still or even more excited! I've waited for nearly a year for this hahaha 🤣.

Last month I made a forum thread for Kairos because my spazzing knows no bounds 🤭 and I just like talking dramas, especially dramas that umm....have an actor I like 😉. I try to remain unbiased, I think I did a pretty good job and didn't flood the drama thread with only one character updates ㅋㅋㅋ.

All in all, I look forward to see good dramatic acting from the cast. Most importantly excited to see Kim Seo Jin wearing glasses and suits, his free forehead and him being a 딸바보 aka ttal-babo 😆. As for plot, I don't really have expectations, as long as it makes narrative sense and is exciting to watch, I'll be fine 🤓. Or I'll just stare at the pretty faces on my screen heh.

Been watching Record of Youth. 4 episodes to go....but where is this show going???
Also started Rookie Historian and I kinda like it! Watching Gumiho on Viki but since I have the free version I'm waiting for episode 3 to become available.
And started a Chinese language show Dating the Kitchen.

I voted today because NZ is also having an election (pretty sure we all know who will win here though!), tonight I’m going to get together with some friends and watch the results come in, so that should be interesting.

And I’ve started my Christmas knitting, which I tell myself every year I will start earlier and yet here we are in spring....I have a whole lot of wool spun from one of my parents sheep that I’m making into a blanket for them and it is SO SLOW, but fortunately mindless enough that I can watch dramas at the same time, thus providing me with an excellent excuse to watch ALL the dramas 😎
