Hi, everyone!

I’ve been pretty busy lately, but I think it’s been over two months since I dropped in here and I decided it was time for me to give an update on what I’ve been watching. I’m never too busy for dramas!

Law School (16/16): Love, love, love. I wasn’t sure what to make of Law School at first. The story seemed like it was makjang but trying to be smart, and the editing in the first couple of episodes was a bit distracting (which surprised me because I love this director). However, I think it really settled into its groove after a while, and I lived for the SolHwi crumbs that came my way. The shining star of the drama for me, however, was Ye-seul. I thought the drama handled the incredibly sad, maddening injustice of domestic abuse/dating violence and assault cases so well and with so much nuance that it actually hurt. I learned early on to not expect realism from Law School, but I thought they knocked it out of the park here. But even when recognizing the sad reality of how many of these cases turn out, the show always made it clear that it was on Ye-seul’s side. One thing that I like about this director is that he always seems to choose projects that have three-dimensional women that the script sympathizes with in difficult situations, and I’m excited to see that surely continue with his next drama where he partners up with the writer of My Ajusshi!

Mine (10/16): So, like, I’m actually super into this? First and foremost, I want to give Kim Seo-hyung a HUGE shoutout. Not only for just generally killing it in her role (as always), but for taking on one of the very few lesbian roles I’ve ever seen in a kdrama, and for playing it with such empathy and grace. I’m very pleasantly surprised with how this show is handling the whole storyline. The YEARNING in that scene in episode 9, my GOD. I NEED this director (who’s a woman!) to do a full-on lesbian romance in the future--maybe in 10 years if we’re lucky, ha. Dramaland still has a long way to go, and they make missteps when it comes to representation, but I think the show has done very well with this so far. How heartbreaking to live in a society where you know no one will accept your love, and the choices you feel you have to make because of it. Neither character has any regrets about their past, and they so clearly still love each other. Seo-hyun literally said she wanted to “defeat prejudice”, and I love to hear it. Of course, I can’t go without mentioning Lee Bo-young, who is just outstanding in every scene she’s in. There is no other actor who can so fiercely portray parental love. The cast and director are really elevating this drama to another level for me.

Doom at Your Service (10/16): Yaaaaaaaawn. I don’t even have anything to say. Imagine a drama where Seo In-gook isn’t doing anything for me. Wow. Who knew I’d live to see the day? Can this writer please stop offering her scripts to my favorite actors? From a writing standpoint...

So I married an Anti-fan: Why is everyone saying it is bad? Why are people saying it is so bad it is good? I love it. The story mostly makes sense. The misunderstandings aren’t as bad as some I have seen. It is a better version of Imitation and makes far more sense than Doom does. I am only on episode 9, so I have a few more episodes left, but I find it delightful.

Youth of May: 😭😭😭😭😭 I’m so sad it was Myung Hee and she had to die alone like that. My goodness that last episode was ROUGH. Her poor brother, imagine losing your father and sister like that, I would become a priest too.

Racket Boys: Continues to be delightful.

Doom at Your Service: Her leaving him was so weird. Of course he is going to find you, he isn’t human. He is almost literally everywhere. I swear the writing choices in this drama, bizarre. Whatever, I still watch so the joke is on me I guess, lol.

Sell Your Haunted House: That was a rather anti-climatic ending. Also, will our resident special psychic never date so he can be a special psychic forever?🤔🤔 Inquiring minds want to know.

Law School: This too was an anticlimactic ending. It was fine. I’m glad Sol A got her firm, but I am sad she is doing all of the work. I laughed when all their clients left when she did.

Mad for You: Now she has an ahjumma squad, an angry cop/lover, Samantha, and convenience store clerk on her side. Hwaiting girl, get that piece of crap.

My roommate is a Gumiho: This drama, sigh. They really are adorable together. The paternalism is disappearing slowly. I am glad he keeps rightfully pointing out to her that he is not human. The stupid murder subplot is ruining the joy for me though.

Undercover is still going strong, and has long surpassed the BBC original. I get the feeling the writers not only transplanted it into South Korea, but also meticulously picked out and filled up all its plot holes. For example: in contrast to the rather random villainy in the original, Im Hyung-rak’s dealings with his subordinates, colleagues and adversaries are an object lesson in the dangers of getting in bed with the right, and also show how flawed the concept of patriotism is. Can’t wait for the last two episodes.

Binge-watched Move to Heaven over two days and enjoyed it tremendously. The main cast is superb and all the cases are heart-breaking without being sentimental. My only gripe is that Geu-ru’s family seems simultaneously over-privileged and too unfortunate. On the one hand, how lucky they are to be able to live comfortably and expend as much time and effort as they like on each set of clients. On the other hand, there is enough tragedy in their lives to furnish several films: broken family, domestic violence, child abuse and abandonment, terminal illness, boxing injuries, wrongful imprisonment, etc. For me, the nadir was when they wheeled on the Sampoong Department Store disaster. Was it really necessary to use that terrible real-life incident to inflate the birthday ritual?

Mad for Each Other - I watched the first episode when the show started airing and wasn't sure whether to continue. And then @missvictrix wrote her review and I'm back and loving it so much! (Thank you!) Trash Oppa and Oh Yeonseo nicely fit together and the show is really good at balancing comedy, pathos, tragedy... and even Korean toilet humour 😆 (I also love Ahn Wooyeon as Samantha... and how casual and friendly Hwio is with him.)

Doom - after one minute I switched back to Mad.

Daebak Realty Team - daebak till the end. I liked the created world of an exorcist and how logical and consistent it was. I also liked the storytelling and that it often turned better than I expected (like the tragic story of Hwajung and her baby... or Director Do's death). And the cliffhangers were goooood! I liked the team work and that they worked hard to get the results (like Inbum gathering the names for exorcising the egg ghost... or Jicheol connecting the malfunctioning cameras). I liked Taejin's arch and that he found a new home, the real home, full of love. I liked that Hwajung was able to say goodbye to Mijin. I liked... well many things I guess 🙂 Though... I absolutely loooved Jiah... and Jang Nara as Jiah. 💕 I also loved the partnership and the silent understanding and support Jiah and Inbum gave each other. And I'm surprised that I, a rom-com girl, was actually fine that there was no kiss.
(Second season anyone? 🙂)

Cutie Land:
Anti-fan - Joon and Geunyoung are sooooo cuuuuute together 😍💕 And their relationship feels so normal...and respectful. I liked when Joon said aloud that there are no games, no pranks, that he is genuine. (Jaejoon on the other hand is abusive and has anger management issues. Good that Inhyung found the strength to leave.)

Gumi (boy)Friend - museum date... with a cute and totally smitten Gumi 😊

Dream Family - cute cute cute Inseo 😍 He is emitting such a positive energy! And I hope he will be able to pursue the carpentry.
(I also currently love the small moments Dabal and Jiwan have with/about their kids (it reminds me a bit of Five Enough) and how smitten Jiwan actually is 😀)

Mad for Each Other: I’m in love with this drama! Definitely an underrated gem. I love Min-kyung and Hwi-oh. Their conversations this week were so honest and Hwi-oh so supportive. When he told Min-kyung’s mom to trust her daughter instead of him … male lead goals right there. I like how Samantha and the part-timer have been worked into the story. Yay for acceptance! I like that the Women’s Association made up for their judgmental behavior by turning into the Avengers. Thirty minute episodes give us a nice, concise story, but I’m left wanting more.

Bossam: Steal the Fate: Squee! Ba-woo and Soo-kyung had such good scenes in Episode 12 but now there is MIL drama. That and the fact that the action has moved to the Palace is a bit of a downer. I like our outlaw family on the run, trying to make a living.

Racket Boys: This drama is so wholesome and fun. I love the kids. They feel so real. I’m glad Hae-kang claimed his teammates as friends, and I’m glad In-sol joined the team. The boys taking turns carrying the little sister on their backs and the villagers racing to help was so heartwarming.

Youth of May: So much pain. I think they could have done Myung-hee’s death a bit differently but overall, I thought the drama was well done. Lee Do-hyun was great, and I was especially impressed with Go Min-si in her first leading role. I also really like Lee Sang Yi who played Soo-chan.

Law School: The last episode was fine but Sol A and Joon-hwi are canon in my world.

Revolutionary Sisters: Made it to the halfway point and while the characters are still selfish, I somehow am semi-entertained by them now.

Mine: I’m just here for Kim Seo-hyung.

CRICKET - oh yeah -

England Vs. New Zealand - Interesting match is going on. Kiwi boys slightly ahead but that doesn't matter. Thankfully no rain. 1st test 5th day was not so good for Cricket.

Moment - Dude trying raincoat but turned it into +ve lively scene -

DAEBAK REALTY (Finale): I had expected that ghost mom would have possessed JiAh to save her when Do was attacking her. It would have been more dramatic than Do’s final demise.

I did respect the director not pushing for an all-out, forced happy ending. However, the PPL was stunningly misplaced and painful to watch. And the prior owners who sold out legally returning to their buildings is totally implausible. But the main story was JiAh letting go of her mother, which was done in very quiet and meaningful way. Overall, the world building and story elements were complex and consistent throughout the series. The foreshadowing was well done and the plot twists believable. This is the best show so far this year, mostly due to Jang Nara’s great acting skills.

BOSSAM (Ep 11-12): I think the show should be subtitled “Ba-Wood cannot catch a break.” Each weekly cliffhanger puts him into more peril. I really thought the story made a harsh turn by changing Ba-woo from an outcast into a new noble. I would have preferred more of the outlaw family trying to survive in the real world away from palace politics.

Variety:

HOUSE ON WHEELS 2 (Ep 10) Jin Goo from Season 1 returns so it becomes a true family trip. So many cooks in the small kitchen trying redemption dishes from past failures. The off-road expedition was funny since the cast was tossed around like a BTS music video. They ate so much Jeju food they seemed to fall into a coma.

Racket Boys (Episode 3-4) - Mood: B+
Things are developing really fast as so many conflicts get dismantled right before they get the chance to derail the plot and ruin the tone of the show, though Woo Chan’s dad continues to be a worry for now. I did find the major reveals from this week to be predictable (the show actually shot itself in the foot by revealing it at the start) though there were many moments to savour too (particularly In Sol’s arc). We may have a childhood connection trope (I thought that was ok) as well as 2 love lines shown in the preview but I’m confident that any romance will be minimal. No love triangle nonsense!

My Roommate Is a Gumiho (Episode 5-6) - Mood: C
It sounds great in theory that the love triangle was effectively finished this week, until you realise that the show doesn’t really have anything else for Sun Woo’s character because they’ve only developed him around Dam so far. So now they throw a herring at us with the shot of the scars on the back of his hand to allude to him being the serial killer: I’m pretty certain its red in colour but it’ll certainly be an interesting twist if otherwise. Bae In Hyuk is certainly busy given that he stars in another drama starting on Monday but it would be ideal if he’s given more opportunities to actually act.

Doom at Your Service (Episode 9-10) - Mood: D
I thought it was bad enough to see Hyun Kyu utter that crap of a dialogue at the laundry shop in Episode 9 but then the next episode had Joo Ik unapologetically reveal to Ji Na how he had manipulated her ever since her school days: it’s an absolute train-wreck to watch! Dear Writer, “good” love triangles (ideally there is none) are those with competitors who are both deserving to get their love reciprocated, not a competition to see which guy is worse! Shin Do Hyun, it looks unsalvageable and you’re also not going to be on Hospital Playlist 2: I wish you luck on your next drama?

Law School (Episode 16) - Mood progression: C / C- / C+ / C+ / C- / C / C / C+ / C, That trial was completely contrived! And what happened to Prosecutor Jin’s trial? His character did a 180 with transplants of conscience.
Sell Your Haunted House (Episode 16) - Mood progression: B- / B / B / C+ / B- / B- / C+ / C / C, The sequence where the chairman bumps into beggars -> runs away -> slips and falls to his death: that was a leap of faith indeed.
Youth of May (Episode 11-12) - Mood progression: C / C / C- / C / C / C-, Are you serious, show? Why are we getting 15 second shots of the Soo siblings in the present day? Aren’t they also main leads in the story?
Dark Hole (Episode 11-12) - Mood progression: C- / C- / D+ / D+ / D+ / D, Why did Lee Joon Hyuk agree to do this? His character had a non-existent arc with the backstory clearly resolved in a rush during the finale.

Law School just ended and I'm so sad that it's over. Watching SolHwi interactions were the highlight of my week. I'll live off fanfics and fan made videos for a while until my heart fully recovers.

Sell Your Haunted House ended too and this is such a fun watch. My love for Jang Nara grows bigger and bigger every time I watch her.

I'm enjoying Roommate Gumiho too. Hyeri is perfect in this role and Kang Hanna is so beautiful! I love her "friendship" with Mr. Gumiho.

Racket Boys is also a favorite of mine. I love how Netflix's Mon-Tues dramas are heartwarming and slice-of-life.

I'm watching Doom in ff mode skipping to scenes of OTP. I really dislike 2nd OTP's storyline which is sad cause I love the actors and actress in the triangle.

Last week's Running Man is Lee Kwang Soo's 2nd to the last episode. I can feel the sadness but they're still doing their best to make us laugh.

I miss watching cdramas. I've become too busy with SolHwi that I barely had time for other dramas.

Will also try to watch Trese tonight.

DAEBAK REALTY: eh. The last three episodes lost a lot of their emotional punch for me (because what was all that) - the weakest of the whole shebang. The ending was very anticlimactic for me as well. But all in all, it was a strong show.

DOOM AT YOUR SERVICE: I dropped it somewhere around episode 6, and didn't miss it. Was wondering if I should pick it back up, but then read the latest review and the comments from Beanies, and well.....nope.

BOSSAM: What a surprise this show has become (now that they've eased up on the annoying kid and nobleman). How bittersweet, how sad, how tender, how painful, how intriguing! (That nobleman needs to let go. He had his chance to run away with his love and didn't. Issallova. Stop moping. It's all your fault). On an aside, It's also interesting how a decade of abject poverty and injustice hasn't stopped Ba Wu's mom from still being a snob. But anyway, it's gone from an annoying show I watch because I like sageuks to my favorite of the shows I'm currently watching. <3 <3 <3

BOSSAM - my current favorite. Waiting for subtitles is a real struggle...😄
YOUTH OF MAY - a great drama with some minor flaws. Parts of the writing felt a little contrived to me. The acting and the 2021 ending were spot-on.
RACKET BOYS - the perfect happy pill after Youth Of May.
NIRVANA IN FIRE - group watch of a classic.
MY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO - another group watch of a classic. I wonder if I should try My Roommate Is A Gumiho and make it a Gumiho Summer! 😄

Youth of May
Although some scenes could have been better directed and written, this drama was great overall; it made me care about the characters. I cried during that epilogue, and I cry every time I think about it. It was so beautifully and painfully tragic that I even forgot how frustrated I was about that Myungsoo forest scene.

Doom At Your Service
I'll stop complaining about this drama because I only have my own stubbornness to blame.

However I will say this because I am surprised no one has mentioned it: has anyone else been bothered about the amount of stalking in this drama? Am I the only one tired of watching Myeol Mang follow Dong Kyung around for no reasonable reason each episode? The girl can't go to work or go for a coffee without him showing up for no reason.

Kill It
I was in the mood for a bit of action. Although I'm not particularly found of the editing style and the story is full of popular action kdrama tropes, I'm still enjoying it. Mostly I just love the fact that our main character is a cold blooded yet empathetic assassin who is also an animal-loving vet. What does it say about me that I can overlook a character killing other people, but if they dare kill a dog, I riot?

Counting down the days until the return of Hospital Playlist!

Bossam: Steal the Fate: 7.0

Youth of May: 9.1 I was right about who was the skeleton but completely missed the homeless guy. Probably should have seen it coming.

Doom at Your Service: 6.5 There are two good things about this show -- Park Bo-young and all the comments about what's wrong wth it. But (as of end of day 10) PBY is not a very good crier -- wonder who she could take lessons from?

Law School: 9.0 They had lots of profound-ish law quotations near the end, but most profound (and disturbing) law quote I know is from a Terry Pratchett book -- "Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it."

Sell Your Haunted House: 7.0 for the finale. Whut? After 15+ hours of wanting to help her mother depart, when she's finally doing it she doesn't want to let her go!? Make up your mind, lady. 7.5 for the series.

My Roommate Is a Gumiho 8.5 Hyeri may finally have earned forgiveness for her performance in "Hyde Jekyll, Me". And could Kang Han-Na give me some dating advice?

Racket Boys: 6.0

So I Married an Anti-Fan & Mad for Each Other: I might get back to these if I have too much spare time.

Sell Your Haunted House: I loved how the story wrapped up. It was Jang Na-ra show throughout and I was all for it. The world building and logic remained consistent and we all know how rarity that is. Everything came to full circle.
This was Ji-ah’s journey to self-acceptance and show delivered it.
Law School: The show worked best when it focused on actual Law school and its student. It’s tagline – Justice and Truth only though Law never comes to fruition but it was enjoyable journey.
I am little disappointed about SolHwi and In Bum -Ji ah. How come both shows left it ambiguous?
Mine: I am still watching it only for Lee Bo-young and Kim Seo-Huyng, rest of it is boring, tedious and mildly excruciating.
Doom: I am watching this show to find out how much more incoherent writing can become and the point at which I will drop this drama. That point will become threshold value on my bad writing-good actors drama drop scale.
Mad for each other: I am liking this show more than I though I would. Both protagonists are great together and I loved their journey of building themselves up with little help from the other one.
I liked how show is portraying Samantha and other resident’s acceptance of her. She has become one of them without any label or prejudice.
My Roommate is Gumiho: This is my happy-pill and I am enjoying all silliness, cuteness and heart-warming moments.

Youth of May - Wow! Hee-tae did arrested and released afterwards and of course, Myung-hee was dead. But unfortunately and sadly, Soo-ryeon and Soo-chan's post-1980 stories didn't included so did a quick stories of post-Gwangju Uprising events. It's such a shame how real writer from this show forget this.
Racket Boys - continued still to be a delightful show.
Doom at Your Service - I still loved Seo In-guk on how he's still a handsome!
Sell Your Haunted House - I'm happy that Ji-ah and In-bum's relationship came alive again and this final episode (Ep. 16) did my emotional moment when Ji-ah and her mother's final good tearful reunion! That was horror comedy-drama Kdrama show ever! Also, I saw a black, dark men's boxerbriefs PPL that made one of the funniest PPLs of 2021! And, I even felt happy at one-year after the main storyline.
My Roommate Is a Gumiho - that horrible Episode 6 postcredit where a woman jumpscared by a gumiho supposed to be an early prologue to episode 7?! I still made fun with this and of course, next week's Thursday timeslot will made space to Hospital Playlist season 2 after this show's episode 8 when every audience (including Korean) will turn/switch mood from happy to sad/emotional.
Imitation - my rollercoaster ride on Kpop idol drama continued to be intensified! OMG... I want more excited musical performances and even more enjoyable tons of fun scenes as what based on the former webtoon of the same name.
Love (Ft. Marriage and Divorce) S2 (Episode 1) - what a great start of the second season. I watched how three female leads are on the edge of divorce! Three new women will excitedly prepared for the new lovers for the three main male leads! So I'm into next episode tomorrow (June 13).
Mine - I'm continued to thrill this supposed-to-be courtroom drama with a main high society/rich background.

Beyond Evil: I was late starting this since I'm not a huge serial killer fan, but I never realized just how much my life needed Shin Ha Kyun and Yeo Jin Goo as frenemy partners. I mean, I knew they were awesome individually, but together . . . damn.

Bossam: While I'm enjoying the historical info flying around the drama hangout thread, I'd pay good money to kidnap a coherent plot structure. A lot of stuff keeps happening, but every time I think we're going to have a clear narrative arc or really develop a theme, we lurch off to something else. Arrgh.

Daebak Realty: Hope there's a season 2 where they go out of Seoul for ghost situations (like "The uncanny counters"). As for the romance part, aren't Psychics supposed to be VIRGINS? So..🤷‍♀️ poor In-Bum! 😅
Youth of May: ☠️I'M DEAD☠️

Sell your haunted house: Solid ending and perfect ending shot of Ji-ah and In-beom strutting off to an exorcism with the drama's theme song playing. Jang Nara really knows how to bring on the heartbreak and tears. I like how the drama didn't touch on the romance. It's possible they will get together later in life or just be BFF.

Doom at your service: I love the individual scenes even though the context they're in make me go "huh?". Like I loved how DK went through her bucket list, but fulfilling all those thing so she can run away was like huh? It knows how to hit me in the gut emotionally, but the mental part is like "huh?" And wow, this week they really threw a bunch of nonsense at the love triangle.

Mad for each other: I love our duo soooo much, along with Samantha and part-timer. I just want to give them all hugs. The neighborhood ahjummas are judgmental, but they listen when confronted about their bias. This drama is truly a hidden gem - airing online and in a weird format with an unattractive synopsis.

Roommate is a Gumiho: I sort of wish the OTP didn't catch feelings this soon because I loved their easygoing,un-self-conscious roommate dynamic. Fortunately, their funny and sweet moments continue. Dam continues to be super relatable. Mr.Gumiho's so sweet. Hye-sun and Jae-jin are adorably sincere and unhelpful.

Imperial Coroner: Loved it and hated saying goodbye to it. I loved the drama's fast pace, but I think it couldn't have hurt to have slowed it down by 10-15% and added like 5 minutes of some cute moments after they've won. I'm going to miss the gang and their teamwork. One of the rare dramas where you can imagine the writer had a meticulous outline for how things will unfold and how efficiently it needed to unfold within the limited amount of time for telling the story. It packed mystery, romance, action, and humor.

Behind on So I married an anti-fan.

Watching:
1. Bossam: Overall, it's a good show. This is a very high compliment from someone who doesn't generally like sagueks. The show doesn't engage me as much as it does others, but it's fun and I have a good time watching each episode. The music choices helped a lot for me: Musical pieces that they used made the show feel lighter. Yuri is such a gem here; I'm always happy whenever I see my princess on screen.

2. 2D1N (variety): Love, love, love the cast and crew here. This is my happy pill week after week. I love that they take us to places in Korea, and the way they present Korean meals almost always make me hungry (but I'll never eat those alive octopus!) Having said that, I was a bit upset while I was watching the ep before the last ep when the crew tricked my poor BB into thinking that he had this much luck with him to be able to pick all boiled eggs instead of the raw ones. I almost got angry with PD-nim.

3. House on Wheels 2 (variety): I come back to this precious little gem whenever I feel mentally tired. I like watching this one at night.

Finished:
1. Sell Your Haunted House: Apart from feeling that the transition from episodic crimes to the handling of the main arc seemed to be a bit abrupt, I really do like this show. One main reason why I like this one a lot is because the lessons that the FL learnt resonate with me. It's not the greatest show out there, but it feels like a good, warm ramyeon: It is comfy, homey and low-key delicious.

Looking forward to watching:
1. Hospital Playlist 2
2. Monthly Magazine Home
3. Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha

Doom at your service. Don’t ask me what I’ve watched or why I will watch next week. I have the least idea.

Youth of May. I only finished this drama because of LDH. What an amazing actor he is. He needs a happy ending drama, please. Him and the fact of learning more about the SK in 1980 was the only thing I liked. Drama had a very bad second half in which everything was merely a plot device, so it was really difficult to get attached to any character, it felt as if writer didn’t want to work as hard he did in the first half.The whole “father walks away from the city with son in the middle of the night when he already knew soldiers were shooting people” made me wish I didn’t start the drama, sincerely. Best thing of last episode was the amazing cameo of amazing Choi Won Young. Perfect.

Racket boys. This drama warms my heart and puts a smile in my face.

My roommate is a Gumiho. Still one week behind and still laughing out loud. Right now I wish there was not a love story, because I really can see the age gap and it’s a bit creepy. Also, how stunning can Kang Hanna be?

Sell your haunted house. Maybe the last episode could have been stronger and I would have liked it better, but sill I liked it a lot. What I loved about this drama is how characters grew and evolved and never went round and round, or fell for noble idiocy or act stupidly. He had adults acting like adults and having adults reactions.

So I married an antifan. How can something so bad be so rewarding? All characters are cartoonish but I thank all dramagods for having this drama every Friday and Saturday.

I gave it a try to You are my hero because fellow beanies love this drama and I wanted to try a C-drama. My first attempt failed at episode 5, then I insisted and got to episode 17, and then I finally drop as I was FF at the speed of light every episode. OTP is the cutest, I love FL and some side characters, but not for me. I will try another C-drama and tell you how it goes.

And as I’m tired of melos and of my terrible choices in dramas this year, I decided to rewatch Another Miss Oh. I’m loving it so much. I really like HaeYoung, even with her terrible drinking habits.

My Roommate is a Gumiho: This drama continues to be my happy pill. I like the way the writers acknowledged the maturity difference between Dam and Yeo Woo with the niece joke. It was so hilarious and at the same time, made it clear that Dam understands the difference between the two of them. The museum date is what dreams are made of. Also I love Dam's friend group, the way they respected her boundaries and the way they stood up for her. Even the random sunbae. Also Jae Jin and Hye Sun's car ride lol. Him avoiding her afterwards was totally understandable.
Imitation: Why on earth is this show only one episode per week? I'm going crazy here, waiting for Friday. I love Ryoc and my heart almost broke at the Eun Jo and Annie flashback.

So, I finished 3 dramas one after the other this past week! Now I think I need a little break before I jump into something else, which won’t be too hard because there isn’t anything I’m looking forward to watching right now.
(splitting my comment because I wrote too much! lol)

Sell Your Hunted House Ah! This became my new crack drama by chance, really! I’m not fond of ghosts, horror and scary stuff, so at first I didn’t plan to watch it, but I just got too curious and gave it a try last week, since it was about to end; well, I couldn’t stop watching it and binged 14 episodes in 3 days (the scary stuff is pretty tame)! xD
It was that great for me! Jang Na-ra was fantastic and looked amazing, Jung Yong-hwa was a good partner, I liked them together; same for the rest of the squad! The writing was solid, stuff made sense most of the times, and I was satisfied with how they wrapped up the story in the end (aside from maybe wanting just a little more romance, but it's ok *sigh*). It wasn’t perfect, some secondary story lines were a little weak, imo, but that’s just some minor issue that does not ruin the experience. I can say it lands a spot among the top 3 dramas of the year in my book!
I’d love a second season (as I mentioned in another comment), but still keeping expectations low, and appreciating what we’ve got for now! ^^

SELL YOUR HAUNTED HOUSE has concluded and we will miss it. It never bothered me that there was no romantic element with the two leads- that was not the nature of the story. Jang Na-ra was outstanding through the entire drama which was so well written. This was definitely one of the best dramas of the year.

My wife finished the Chinese Costume Drama THE GENERAL’S LADY. She is now watching MISS THE DRAGON as well as COURT LADY, which started slow but has now hit its stride.

SO I MARRIED THE ANTI-FAN is entertaining, but MY ROOMMATE IS A GUMIHO is even better. Hyeri is perfect as the FL but I keep wondering if anyone will ever give Kang Hanna lead role? She is fabulous.

MAD FOR EACH OTHER is indeed a true gem, far better that I expected.

Only six more days until season 2 of HOSPITAL PLAYLIST.

I still have not been able to start RACKET BOYS. But we were able to get in another episode of BOSSAM, a show which is very well done indeed.

HOUSE ON WHEELS is back with a season two- this is a variety show and is simply relaxing watch, something to see while eating lunch or otherwise taking a break, although weekdays I am usually watching the daily drama BE MY DREAM FAMILY which is my weekday dose of smiles.

SELL YOUR HAUNTED HOUSE, goodbye, fare well, it was a joy and a nice ending. I did not mind that the romance was not deeper, there are enough other dramas for that. Letting go of her mother was the real challenge, which I can perfectly relate to.
UNDERCOVER - great adaptation! The actors, including the villains are top notch! Bean worthy. I would not have complained if this was a longer series.
MAD FOR EACH OTHER - love it. I have a very soft spot for Oh Yeon-Seo and now for Jung Woo as well. The way he blows up at frustrating situations is actually quite understandable.
DOOM is doomed, I am afraid. It started well, but it is becoming a dogs breakfast. The final straw is terrible, in your face PPL. Normally I don't mind PPL, it is part of all dramas now, but it can really be incorporated much better.
BOSSAM - another one I wish could go on for longer, it is so good.
MY ROOMMATE IS A GUMMIHO - well, maybe I should look for such a roommate, too. Love the show!

Sell Your Haunted House checked all my boxes and I predict it will be in my top five by the end of the year. In a year where I've dropped most shows, this was the first that left me anxious for the next installment. I watched the SYHH Special, which spent the first 30 min. recapping the show and the second 30 min. covering team dynamics, special effects, sound design, cinematography and the special guests. I was so disappointed that they didn't interview the music director. SYHH's score (beyond the OST tracks) is one of the best I've heard in years.

I didn't expect to fall so hard for Mad for Each Other. I love EVERYTHING about it. This could be the series I can share with my friends to get them hooked into kdramas.

My Roommate is a Guhimo is is my first exposure to most of its cast and it never fails to make me laugh. Lee Hye Ri was born for this role and you can tell the cast loves her too when you watch the BTS clips.
