Omona, why so many shows to watch? I'm the type that also watches family (daily/weekend) dramas, BLs, etc; so I'm doomed.

In 2022-1 didn't we have like only 6 dramas airing for a while? Idk, I just remember it was calm.🥺
I'm going crazy. Why do we have premieres every week?
And why are all the shows literally my jam? I drop one just to add ten. And why do I rewatch so much? And why do I love old shows? Why why why.

I get these weird cravings, you know. Dramas cravings. And sometimes I they're too strong.
A few days ago I didn't sleep because I was too busy rewatching W. Today I didn't because I was busy starting another show. Now I'm tired as hell.

Someone kimchi-slap me, please.

Have a nice weekend beanies. 💚

I enjoyed Glitch but who's enjoying Glitch so far?

Oh ho ho - September - Beautiful September

Weather - October and talking about weather - woah.

September was fun - those thundering clouds - that continuous rain - lighting - not so typical September weather - heh.

Typhoon is always a marvelous beauty.

floods and flash flood - yeah. Action all around.

I was in trouble - but that doesn't mean i can't have fun over my own troubles as well as of others. keep things simple. fun is in everything.

Now everything is for December and January.

Normally it's the weekend that gives me drama burnout. Of which no matter how much, I watch 'em all. But, the shows on Wed-Thurs are just too good to miss. I have 4 Wed-Thurs dramas when it's not even the weekend. And they're all good. I haven't been this booked in a long time. I hope none of my upcoming watch-list is a Wednesday drama else I'm burnt again🤭🤭🤤... sweetly and willingly.

Tuesday a message showed up in my banking app thanking me for having been their customer for 42 years.

If they only knew.

I was actually their customer for much of the 1970s but was very dissatisfied so in 1980 when I got a new job and had to move, I switched to a new bank. As part of that process I went to the old bank, told them I wanted to close the account, and left with a check, thinking all was well. Later, statements came to my old address showing a negative balance because they had added some interest to the account after I "closed" it, and then dinged me for below minimum balance fees. Sigh.

When I told my father he thought it was funny because they had once done the same thing to him. He also offered to take care of it for me since he lived within walking distance of the old branch.

I only became the evil old bank's customer again because they bought the new bank several years later and I figured that if I changed banks again they'd just buy that one too.

Is this what they call a Kdrama slump? I'm currently only watching Little women and The law café but I have no desire whatsoever to start all the seemingly amazing shows airing. Sigh
I feel like I need a really good drama to get back on my feet but nothing seems to catch my eye these days

Happy weekend Beanies and keep Beaning On!

It turns out that K-dramas work like some sort of drug or medicine that make everything else bearable. Last week I was grumping here about all the episodes I was behind on with no opportunity to watch because suddenly everything else had to be done first. This week I managed to regain my grip on my task list and schedule some K-drama time!☺️Not only did I catch up on last week over the weekend, but I also was able to live watch all the episodes in the evenings as a reward for decreasing the task list all day. It did wonders for my general mood this week. Now there is only the race against time to finish my What We Are Watching entry for tomorrow and hopefully I am able to post that again after nearly a month. It also serves as a nice reality check of the shows I am actually watching in order to know how many time slots are still available. I thought the September K-drama batch was large and then I checked October!🤣

I'm loving all the latest goth looks on Shin Sung-rok's Insta. Him in a moody horror show with his magnificent guyliner as a Halloween treat? I would die. And because I'm feeling greedy, let's also cast Lee Dong-wook (channeling his "Strangers from Hell" performance) and Jang Na-ra (in her "Daebak Real Estate" getup). Voilà! *swoon*

Hello, all! How is everyone?

It is suddenly cold outside, and I was reminded that it was the same sort of weather when I first joined Dramabeans, lol.

Why are there suddenly so many new dramas to watch? I almost never watch things as they air, but I’m watching five (!) current dramas right now, and making myself a bit nuts in the process.

So many dramas airing at the same time I need to get selective about what I watch. Looking for something "not dumb" and considering Bad Prosecutor/Little Women or Golden Spoon for the spot.
And something lighter, considering Cheer Up/Gaus for the spot, in addition to One Dollar which I'm already starting but might delay if something better comes up.
And for the romance spot, I'm considering between Seasons of blossom/Love in contract/Love for suckers.
Let me know if you have any among those you want to recommend, or any drama that shouldn't be out of my radar.

Hi Beenies! Here's what I have going on:
1) Still very sad that ending totally sucked to Fairy and Devil. Could have been so much better.
2) Finishing up Little Women. Thought it was just ok.
3) Halfway through Meteor Garden - very fun comparing it to BOF. There are things I like about each of them.
4) Started The Untamed - because always needs some Xianxia show!
5) Bummed that Bad Prosecutor is not on Netflix.
6) Also started Snowdrop - had to stop midway 1st episode because I didn't understand what was going on - I listened to a podcast, so will now be able to pick back up.
Hope you all have a great weekend - I have 3 day weekend with Monday being a holiday for Indigenous people/columbus day.
