The Matchmakers
This drama is officially in the running to become my favorite K-drama ever, ever. Even if it doesn't end well, it might still win that award based--first and foremost--on its visual and sonic beauty, but then secondarily because of its focused narrative complexity. I find myself laughing whenever I have this thought, though, because I feel like I sound like Han Dong-jin in the final scenes before the controversial, but consensual, break-up with Sim Woo-joo in Call It Love..."You gave me everything, The Matchmakers, even if we eventually break up forever." 🥹

My Demon
Still a hoot. Still has all my attention. Got a little tedious this Friday. Song Kang isn't THAT good looking. It will surprise no one to hear that I would therefore like to spearhead TEAM LEE SANG-YI. Team LSY, 4evAH...don't care if he killed everyone in the story. I already know what his abs look like...I'm here more for the (not-supernatural) male angst.

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract
I find this drama diverting, but not as diverting as My Demon, simply because it isn't as bitingly funny--a.k.a. my kind of funny. I am also happy it's gonna be only 12 episodes...I think that's juuuust the right length.

LYOL (skimming for the gifs)
Weekenders go on forever!!! And there's never not enough Ha Joon nowadays. And also, his character needs to shape up or ship out.

Welcome to Samdal-ri
Why is no one talking about how O-bong is in this drama too??? I just can't. He's the best. Wookie, sure sure. O-bong has my attention.

FROM THE RESERVES
So, you know how Hong-jo (from Destined with You) and now Yeon-woo (from TSoPMC) go off into the woods alone in the dark because, "they feel like it," and everyone screams at them, "Don't do that, you dum-dums!! Bad things happen when women wander alone in the woods!!"

I'm doing that soon. Going to a cabin, all alone and by myself, for three days, in the woods. I'm calling it my Hong-jo Hiatus.

"Why did you go off alone into the forest, risking your life recklessly," he asked.

"To get away from you people and your incessant needs," I replied.

I shall be taking My Liberation Notes with me, but who knows, I might just stare out the window...waiting for my psychopath shamanic stalker to find me like a Perilous Prince Charming.

COMPLETED
Perfect Marriage Revenge - Perfect is already in the name. Everything about this was 💯.

Castaway Diva - Watching most of the show at one go made it seem more coherent. Park Hye-ryun still writes wonderful found families.

ONGOING
The Matchmakers - Sam-soon-gu 🥰. So glad the romances are coming together. I'm eager to see what Lady Park will do to Jo and Co.

A Good Day to Be a Dog - Yul's dating tips 😂. Yul performing an exorcism 🤣. Once again Yul best boi.

Moon in the Day - I thought the reason she killed him was pretty compelling. In the hands of a better team, this would make a good story.

My Demon - Tango scene for the ages. The gangsters dancing with baseball bats 🤣.

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract - The stepmom/stepbro are so ridiculously OTT. OTP continue to be adorable.

STARTED
My Man is Cupid - What a bizarre mish-mash of genres. The body count in Week 1 is already staggering.

Welcome to Samdal-ri - The finger guns sold it for me (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞.

C-DRAMAS
Still watching A Journey to Love and Love Me, Love My Voice but I'm behind the airing schedule as usual 😅.

Planning to watch The Hope and try out The Last Immortal.

Watching On-Air:
Park's Marriage Contract: (Week 2) Ooh it keeps being fun and heart-fluttering!! That kiss last week made me squeeee, and now he's flustered and falling fast! Sa-wol is a riot - in ep 5, taking some time out of hiding behind a couch with the ML's secretary to feel his biceps 🤣 Yeon-woo is a great FL character... Turns out, a Joseon noblewoman makes a formidable chaebol wife. Yeon-woo can certainly hold her own, and Tae-ha needs her. Somehow, all of it just feels magical, and I think a lot of it comes down to the ✨️chemistry✨️ between the leads.

Finished:
Perfect Marriage Revenge: Update - Hopeful's Mom's Perfect Marriage Revenge Watch: Finale she loved it too!! Her exact words: "It's like candy." For me, this was the most fun I had with watching in 2023! Also, one of the most perfectly and completely wrapped up finale all year of the things I watched. What a blast!!

Twinkling Watermelon: What a sweet, sweet story. I loved seeing Lee-chan and Cheong-ah's relationship blossom - his gentleness and caring for her were lovely. Yes, I cried at his confession scene - one of the most heartfelt I've ever seen. Eun-gyeol's friendship with his dad and the way he protected his mom filled my heart. It was a four-kleenex last episode (Lol my dog even came over to check on me at one point), and I loved the ending. The drama wasn't perfect, but it was pretty darn close. I LOVE THEIR FAMILY SO MUCH ❤️

Miscellaneous
I'm going back to finish Destined With You before the end of the year. I'm now craving more "time travel to meet your parents in the past as teenagers" stories, so I'm probably going to give My Perfect Stranger another try, skipping all the torture stuff. I'm stalled out on True Beauty and not sure when I'll go back to that... lots to catch up on with Wonderland of Love, and hoping that Journey to Love will finish well so it can be my next C-drama action × romance watch!

Dropped: Tell Me That You Love Me - Love triangle turning into love square, decided following highlights of the secondary couple was good enough for me.

Perfect Marriage Revenge (Series review) - Mood progression: C / C- / C- / C / C- / D+
While it was nonetheless the surprise breakout within this batch of dramas, it wouldn’t be conscientious of me to ignore the crucial point, that is, the writer did have the easy way out with an audience that is already tuned to accept logical fallacies. But I will give credit for the way the writer made us fall in love with the frenzied chaos and I very much enjoyed the revenge.

Castaway Diva (Series review) - Mood: C+ / C / C- / C- / D+ / C-
Sometimes I wonder what this show could’ve been had the characterisation and overall narrative been a lot more nuanced: take for example the CEO, who could’ve been more conflicted regarding Ran Joo’s unprofitability. Instead, the writer just so lazily goes for the simplest denominator and ends up with a story that wastes the cast’s talent. Poor Park Eun Bin?

The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract (Episode 3-4) - Mood: C-
That’s an interesting cliffhanger: has Tae Ha remembered his past life or has he only figured out that Yeon Woo’s truly from the past? The story seems to running from one trope to another cliche and honestly the writer doesn’t seem to care one bit, but I’m glad that Sa Wol isn’t Tae Min’s consolation prize and it’s the awesome secretary instead (YAS!). Ok, let’s not jinx it.

Welcome to Samdal-ri (Episode 1-2) - Mood: D+
This show reminds me of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and not in a good way: a contrived setup that forces the return of the city-loving FL to her hometown who clashes with the countryside-loving ML. Oh and this time round they’re exes, if it wasn’t enough drama already. But then the production managed to cast Jaden (!) and Aziz (!) and of course I can’t drop it.

My Man Is Cupid (Episode 1-2) - Mood: D+
Ah, the classic serial killer arc in a romance show. As though the love triangle that stretched over 500 years wasn’t enough, there has to be some drama that forces the main characters together.

A Good Day to Be a Dog (Episode 9) - Mood: D+
Despite being narratively inconsequential now that the curse is lifted, Yul has once again become the scene stealer. I’m not sure if I’ll like Shaman to be his consolation prize but I would also be mad if he’s stuck playing cheerleader. The plot though is crawling at a snail’s pace with the time being taken up by romance filler. And the show still has 5 more episodes, oh dear.

My Demon (Episode 3-4) - Mood: D
Imagine if Grandma died due to her having made a deal with the Demon in the past? That would’ve been a great twist! But, this writer completely shut that possibility down with the allergy and here we are playing Cluedo.

Also watching: Soundtrack #2 (Episode 1-2) - Mood: D+

CRICKET - Austrlia's won and they deserved it.

New Zealand won test match in bangladesh on such a bad pitch. bad pitch actually helped kiwis have a god win here. heh.

SA T20 league was sucessfucl and more to economy and that's why T20 is so powerful now. It brings money, a lot of it. Cricket isn't a good career for most - associate countries layers have to look for jobs most year around and in between play international professional cricket to have any chance in any cricket worl tournament.

So even though i'm not much into t20 - i give it +ve for generating employment.

Live Your Own Life
Finally some movement forward.
Grandma starts threatening back, Hyoshim and Taeho are basically dating and Aspiring Actress is back to being awesome (and yes, it was satisfying to see her pulling Lawyer Oppa's ear). We also see Secretary Yeom enjoying his... daddy bonding times??

Demon
This is surprisingly getting better and better and totally jives with my sense of humor. Or I probably should rather say tangoes 😄 because that closing scene of episode 4 was INGENIOUS! It's not just the swoony I'm my bodyguard's bodyguard and the smexy Song Kang dancing (and using his dancing partner to slap the gangsters around 😄)... but also the gangsters rhythmically stepping and moving their baseball bats, their boss dancing against his will, the catchy tango music... and rose petals flying in the air. 💃
It all somehow feels like a collaboration between Hong sisters and the writer of Vincenzo... writing an Agatha Christie whodunit together. And I'm enjoying every second of it. 😎🍿

Perfect Marriage Revenge
It was very very satisfying to see the villains meet their well deserved end. I especially chuckled when Yura crashed that engagement family dinner of Yijoo's Ex. 😁

Samdal-ri
I had difficulties to believe that qick fall from grace of such a well established photographer. Anyway, I'm watching for the family dynamics, the actors... and Jeju.

A Good Bad Day to Date
I was somewhat disappointed and expected a bit mooore from the dating. 😅 But I laughed a lot, especially with the curtain opening at the gym. 😆

Soundtrack 2
The #1 didn’t work for me as I wanted, but this one has my full attention straight from the beginning. I can understand both protagonists - their dreamer/optimist versus realist/pessimist clashes, sometimes it is a matter of timing and our growing up phase...

Still watching and loving Park's Contract Marriage (and I'm a week behind with Unpredictable Family).

It’s been such a hectic couple of weeks for me that I’ve not been able to participate in the conversations around these dramas as much as I’d like. Hoping to get back into them more soon with all you lovely folks! Until then, a few thoughts:

Live Watches
The Matchmakers: Sam-soon-gu ship is off and away and I couldn’t be more giddy about it! I’m glad they are pairing off the old bachelors too - no one gets left behind! Lives are being plotted against and things are looking bleak, but we’ve come this far and writer-nim has not led us astray.

A Good Day to be a Dog: Now that the curse is broken I guess we have to spend more time on the mountain spirit storyline. *sigh* The cute is still cuting but I haven’t quite been able to drum up any interest in the past lives stuff.

Castaway Diva: I know this drama wasn’t for everyone, but I was obsessed until the end. I’m so glad Chae-ho chose to stand gracefully to one side; he was at his best when he was acting like a big brother to everyone. And I can’t say enough good or gleeful things about Mok-ha and Ki-ho, though I’ve certainly given it a go. I was mostly satisfied with Ran-joo’s wrap-up, and am glad she’s doing something she loves and is good at, even if the whole thing with the shares seemed inadvisable at best. And finally, getting the full circle moment with Mok-ha and the balloons was just incredible. Ok, gotta go listen to the soundtrack again.

My Demon: SO glad they let us watch the tango scene again! ML mad at himself for feeling *feelings* is one of my favorite stages of enemies-to-lovers, and Gu-won is killing it here. I’m loving every ridiculous minute of this show.

My Demon & Park’s Marriage Contract I can’t wait to watch tonight’s episode, was away on my very first work trip so was really excited to have these saved to watch tonight!

The Dog Show OTP is the best! Also it’s such a trip watching this show whilst also watching the Sweet Home series - same with My Demon too, since both Park Gyu-younhg and Song Kang are playing vastly different characters in their respective shows vs their characters in the Sweet Home series.

Welcome to Samdalri bit of a bumpy start last week, I think this week will be the test as to whether this becomes a drop, fast forward watch or remains a proper watch. I’ve got my hopes up because ep 2 did seem to set a course that I found more entertaining!

Sweet Home 2 up to episode 4 now! I really like the second season, it’s obviously very different to the first but in a way that’s good in expanding on the narrative and characters that were set up in the first season. At least season 3 is also not too far away - summer 2024 I think!

Sound Track #2 I actually had no intention of watching this but saw the premiere watch post here and thought why not. Glad I did though, this seems like a delightful romance story! Thought pacing was very fast and then realised it’s only 6 episodes 😭 I’m liking discovering the leads’ past relationship bit by bit and mapping how my assumptions and feelings change a long the way - there were things that I was thinking during ep 1 that were challenged and replaced with ‘ahhh okay I get it now sort of’ vibes by the end of ep 2 and I really like that slow illumination of perspectives and events that really shows you how the level of information you have really does skew your perspective.

Wonderland of Love (C-drama) finished! Defs one of my top C-drama watches, although the second bit was slightly repetitive compared to the first part, it was still fantastic and a very satisfying watch overall. Had some great cinematography, acting and action sequences to match. And this gave me my favourite Xu Kai character yet! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a romance action filled costume drama, with a good balance of comedy and seriousness.

I also want to start watching The Night Has Come because the crime/thriller vibes with the survival/disaster vibes sound like a mix that has my name written all over it and Beanie comments for Tell Me That You Love Me also make me want to start watching!

CASTAWAY DIVA (Ep 11-12) In the 15 hour run time for the show, we maybe had 30 minutes of short island scenes (about 3 percent of show) and we maybe had 30 minutes of PEB actually singing (which was odd since she can actually sing well - - - I was perturbed that they used an OST cover when she was recording in the studio). I think the promo PR was a bit bait and switch. I wanted a full castaway story and a full diva story for PEB but got nothing substantial (like filling up on free, tasteless bread sticks before the meal). The elements and premise were there waiting to be harvested. Instead, we got no fish-out-of-water story of MH having trouble getting back into society, or trying to reach her dream. It was too easy. We got a pile of criminal cases of identity theft, domestic abuse, business fraud, harassment/stalking and attempted murders.

I think this show falls into the growing category of a Show That Could Have Been (alot) Better. There were too many events that led to an uneventful series conclusion.

WELCOME TO SAMDAL-RI (Ep 1-2) If there was ever a show to pile on a record amount dung on the main character in the first episode, this was has to be close. This is really a high octane show. Shin Hae-Sun really pulls out no stops in her range of serious to comedic skills. The script set her up as being the best photographer in Korea, the top of her profession, then just as quickly, tear her down with a cheating boyfriend, and the lying betrayal by her assistant. Her career is vanquished by a false rumor. But the highlight of the episode was her sisters (divorced and widowed?) and niece (another great and sassy child actor). The Cho family dynamic seems to have the elements of some real fun interactions. Also, since OUR BLUES the celebrity of Jeju Haenyeo has boosted their pay grade for all of them to have new ATVs.

TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME (Ep 3-4) This series continues to hit its pace with introspection, real communication and hurdles for the main characters. The leads do have a friend they can rely upon to set them straight and support them, but organically JW and ME are moving closer together. There is such balance and subtlety in the characters outward emotions and contact between each other. ME feels she offended JW but his letter indicates his shy insecurity around normal people, especially women who take interest (in his mind maybe pity) in him.

Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is such a big part of the show. It is about listening to others, but also listening to your own heart. A lesson often overlooked in our smartphone dependent lives. The series continues to have long pauses to reflect like an indie film but also the depth of many layers of a Renaissance master’s painting.

A GOOD DAY TO BE A DOG (Ep 9) It was a weird episode. The fantasy bursts from Hae-Na seem out-of-place and the couple’s first time teen level awkwardness was eye rolling . . . they are adults, even...

Tell me that you love me: I am continuing to enjoy this drama. I love how both Mo Eun and Jin Woo continue to show up for each other, despite miscommunications and Jin Woo trying to create distance between them. They are quietly loving.

The Matchmakers: AT lastttttttt, Oraboni and Soon Gu together at last. They are my favorite couple. I will not comment on the older sister and the Prince because why. However, the mystery of how Du Ri and Shi Yeol will get together considering he is supposed to marry Ye Jin. As for our OTP, we will get there when we get there.

Moon in the day: The writing is bad, the acting isn’t great, and everything else is so blah. However, here I am still watching, lol. I feel like there is something that could have worked, but they never pulled it out. SIGH

A good day to be Dog: There Is a lot of interference with our OTP cuteness and I don’t like it. I have no idea why they made Bo Gyeom’s reincarnation love his student. I get that she is 21, but it is still a weird choice to make. She could have been a new student, office worker, hell a janitor. Why make her a student?

My Demon: I finally enjoyed episode 5. I had fun watching it. They moved away from the weird lingering gaze and started working on building them together. I look forward to episode 6.

The story of Park’s Marriage: I still love this so much. Our OTP has suck great chemistry. Tae Ha finally succumbing to Yeon Woo’s charms is so cute. You see him falling in love and not realizing it. Also, I am shipping Sa Wol and Mr. Hong so hard. Sa Wol calling him a burly man and his crush on her is ADORABLE.

Soundtrack #2: I liked it. Hyeon Seo and Su Ho are cute. He is obviously still hung up on her and I get it, he really had no closure the poor man. Hyeon Seo seems to be in the wrong here, I am curious how they will solve it.

Sweet Home 2: This was a SLOG, but I made it through. I am not sure I understood the point of this season. Where are we going show?

Welcome to Samdal Ri: I can’t wait for episode 3. Unlike everyone else, I loved it.

Tell Me that You Love Me 💗

Matchmakers aka The Mix & Match Show: 7.0 Having trouble keeping all the characters straight. Bachelor 8,205 is which one again?

Park's Marriage Contract: 8.1 Sa-wol!! Joo Hyun-young⌚

Goryeo Kitan War: 6.0

My Demon: 8.0

Welcome to Samdal-ri: __ Paused halfway thru ep 1, may come back if reaction to weeks 2 & 3 is good. Dropping a Shin Hye-sun show feels like heresy, but shows that want me to stick around need to start with something fun or exciting, not miserable and boring, and the payoff should be more than the advertised small-town-healing-good. Maybe if the small town had ghosts, demons, dog-women, time traveler marriages...
However this show works out, there can be alternate titles for it: Samedalri if it goes tropy & unoriginal, Lamedalri if it is lame, Damndalri if they pull noble idiocy, Saddalri... But I'll probably have to leave that up to you who watch it.

Night Has Come: 2.5 Out after about 25 minutes.

Moon in the Day: 5.0 Bean⌚ Why is it that in every reincarnation show the past life that started all the trauma was the first life and not the 18th or 8018th? And how long have people been reincarnating anyway? Since the rise of religions that believe in reincarnation? Since the appearance of Homo Sapiens? Homo Erectus? Since last Thursday?

Good Day to Be a Dog: 6.1 The dating felt like filler this week. Cute, but filler.

Castaway Diva: 9.0 Coming full circle -- with Balloons.

If Ki-ho / Bo-geol had just kept searching all the other islands, he might have found:
1: Amelia Earhart?
2: Jimmy Hoffa?
3: The lost script for the original (good) ending of Heartbeat?
4: Better dresses for Mok-ha than the ones she wore for the performances at the end.

What a week. Cannot say I have been watching much, but slowly progressing in like 20 minute installments… anyways:

Made time for my favorite, THE MATCHMAKERS. Was glad about the box of tissues I had aready. It was beautiful, and a little bit heartbreaking - but all the swoons!

Also: finished watching PMR! What a unique gem. I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish, and am preparing to include it in the round up posts (if I ever get the time to - uh - do a round up post).

Ongoing watches that I couldn’t pull off this week, but can maybe start on tomorrow:
* PARK’S MARRIAGE CONTRACT
* maybe the DOG SHOW, though, it got a bit slow…
* ummm, I actually snuck in some HEARTBEAT! Yay! I love the OTP. What a swoon fest!
* SAMDAL-RI - this had a decent start. Looking forward to continue watching this. Wookie FTW.

Ongoing

My Demon : Current favorite. So much fun. I am loving Song Kang here. Scenes between him and his assistant is a riot.

Park Marriage contract : Tropey, yet entertaining. Leads are adorable. Want the brother gone. He is annoying. It’s a bit too predictable though.

Welcome to Samdal-ri I really wanted to like it. But I am struggling to connect with the story. The whole escaping to village is not working for me nor the village humor. I want her to fight. Go back and fight.

My man is Cupid This should be a drop. But Ep 2 gave me something towards the end with the leads. This is a train wreck from day one but I can’t seem to stop watching.

Completed

Perfect Marriage Revenge :
Ended perfectly giving me all the feels. A favorite this year.

Five Enough : a lot of FF. but done. I felt Swoon Hoon was much more relaxed here and much better. He isn’t so stiff. Comedy does suit him.

Dropped

Love me Love my voice(cdrama):
I really wanted to like it. But it was just boring. A lead who is a voice actor, doctor (?) and a chef?? Is that even real. Actually I didn’t understand a lot of things. Why are college students collaborating with professionals and how is a college student a music planner? Everything felt too staged, the meetings, chats, etc I didn’t connect to the story from Ep 1. Sorry Tan Jian Ci. Will miss your pretty face.

The Matchmakers: I'm more impressed by this show every week. It is one of the most beautifully shot dramas in recent memory. But on top of that, the writing is as good as the cinematography. Matchmakers is combining tender romance, murder mysteries and touches of humor, and making it all work thanks to sharp plotting and a host of characters you can't help but root for. Happy endings all around? Fingers and toes crossed.

Marriage Contract Show: I’ve yet to watch Ep. 5, but it’s been charming so far. The succession fight interests me only as far as Yeon-woo becomes Tae-ha’s ally in it, so I hope we don’t spend too much screen time on the scheming aunt and monochrome cousin.

Perfect Marriage Revenge: Calling it perfect might be a (very small) step too far, but it offered a perfect viewing experience.

Soundtrack #2: Fan wall chatter convinced me to try it and I’m glad I did. Two episodes and I’m already all-in on the beautifully flawed OTP.

Moon in the Day: Why still here? Sunk-cost fallacy. After 12 episodes, I might as well stick around for the last two.

Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty It’s a really fun watch, thanks to great pacing and an ensemble of appealing characters.

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract ep 3-4 The show cuts off at awkward moments, editing needs to work on that. Aside from that I am liking the progression of our leads relationship. I wonder when Yeon Woo will remember that kiss that kept Tae Ha awake all night. Tae Min need to grow up but at least we know he is not an airhead. It seems like he is just bidding his time.

Perfect Marriage Revenge ep 11-12 I am happy with how the story ended and sad that the show had ended. I have enjoyed watching this series as much as interacting with other beanie. The ending was not as makjangy as expected. But its good that the baddies got what they deserve in the end.

Live Your Own Life ep 20-21 there were a lot of Tae Ho and Hyo Shim cuteness this week. He even managed to bribe an invitation for the fitness trainers three day MT. Anything for him not to miss a day in seeing Hyo Shim.

A Journey to Love ep 11-20 this is my current obsession. This show has everything - romance, action, comedy, melo and court intrigues. The delegation team is my favorite. They are just a bunch of gossipy spy masters who likes to meddle on their chief's love life.

My Demon ep3-4 Song Kang is doing great on this role and has good comedic timing. That last tango scene is epic. I want more scenes like that.

Sweet Home 2 ep 1-7 the stakes are higher and new characters are introduced. I actually wanted to see more of Hyun Su and how he has evolved but with so many characters, its understandable that he may not be on every episode. The introduction of the girl and her powers added another layer of complication to the story.

the Matchmakers ep 10-11 The matchmaking does not go as intended which makes Sam Soon very frustrated with her sisters. Jung Woo and Soon Duk revealed their feelings for each other. And I wonder how writernim intends to resolve their story. I am on the look out for what Lady Park will do now that she found out her husband and brother hid something from her.

Tell Me That You Love Me ep2 - on pause

the Secret Romantic Guesthouse ep 1-7 I have no business starting another drama since I already have a lot on pause. But I liked the find out for myself if I can guess right on who is The Grand Heir. There are a lot of hints here and there but I think I will go with the FL's romantic interest.

Tell Me That You Love Me I don't like how this show looks more like a lesson about deafness than about a deaf character.

The Matchmakers My favourite airing drama! Our favourite lieutnant finally confessed! Waiting for the rest of the many other couples.

Moon in the Day The story is super angsty, sadly they forgot to cast actors who had the range for it.

A Good Day to Be a Dog A sexy kiss needs to be balanced between the 2 actors, otherwise it's weird, not sexy...

Welcome to Samdal-ri Waiting for the FL's selfpity to stop and their interactions.

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract How many times the same characters can fall on each other? The couple is cute but the rest is very cliché and lacks constancy.

My Demon I love the cold and hot lead interactions.

Soundtrack #2 I'm tired by the plot of exes being so childish when they meet again after years. It's a short drama, I don't need petty characters...

WHAT I'VE FINISHED:

This week? Nothing.

WHAT I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF WATCHING:

1. HOTEL DEL LUNA - Interesting premise and certainly entertaining enough. However, it has turned out to be one of those series where I'm interested enough to watch at lunchtime but not interested to the point where I'm bingeing it.

2. TAIL OF THE NINE-TAILED - Another one where it's interesting enough for me to watch an episode at a time but I'm not doing the binge thing. Lee Dong-Wook is handsome and all and I like Jo Bo-A but oddly, DESTINED WITH YOU held my attention more effectively as a "past lives soulmates" drama.

3. W - TWO WORLDS - Now THIS is totally my speed! I absolutely LOVE this! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! But after bingeing the first half of the series, I hit pause on this because I had too much work coming in. Will finish it in a second binge later on.

4. WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING - Same as W - TWO WORLDS. Put on hold for now or I'll binge it all and not meet my deadlines LOL!

LIVE WATCH

1. MY DEMON - I absolutely adore this drama! The humour! The fashion! The Tango Fight Scene!

2. WELCOME TO SAMDAL-RI - Just started this. It's promising and definitely has its hilarious moments.
