Gosh the only light hearted one is Spice up your life and I am seriously considering not watching. I can’t see this matching the fun of the original and I don’t want to be disappointed twice.

I genuinely wonder how Squid Game is gonna be. Part of me thinks people are gonna be so disappointed (like D.P. 2) and the other part thinks people won't particular care as long as it's as violent and interesting as the first one.
A pitfall of D.P. 2 apparently was it felt like a retread which wasn't interesting. The best episode was the most tragic and different.

With Squid Game, I don't know if knowing more about the bad guys would make it more interesting. Part of the mystique is the random unknowns in the costumes or the Front Man (who ended up just a middle man).

Then again, I have no idea what will happen in the show. Maybe seeing the world from other perspectives will be interesting🤷‍♀️

The Queen Who Crowns is another saguek I am looking forward to. Since Queen Woo is such a disappoinment, it makes me anticipate this more. I am intrigued with this historical character since I only saw so little of her in dramas about King Taejo.
And Dong Jae will soon be back on the small screen! I can't wait!

I think I'm only going to watch crime shows for a while now, considering how disappointed I am with romances that have ground my heart into the dust off late! So Gangnam B Side, and Parole Officer it will be.
Also, no side couple shenanigans for me- I had enough of them in NGNL 😅

but perhaps too short, with a 2-episode count.

Or perhaps 2 episodes too long.

I'm gonna watch it because it's apart of the No Gain No Love universe but I am a bit bitter about it because I feel like NGNL kinda got shafted. It feels as if NGNL was used to set the sequel/spinoff up and *that's* where the promotion and excitement behind the scenes went (which does make sense cause it's a novel idea in live action). Even viewers kept talking about the spinoff and the second couple more than the original for weeks.

Fine, everyone is allowed their interests and the ships they're drawn to but it still feels kinda unfair to me.

I'm hoping for a Shin Mina and/or Kim Young Dae cameo at least.

Thank you tccolb. 🙏🏻 That is indeed a lot of hard work that you do. Keeping tabs on various sites / drama sources to compile handy News bites to keep us updated. We truly appreciate getting all the news from you so we have only one source to refer to. 😅

Can't believe how long it has been since Gong Yoo headlined a watchable drama. Even the Silent Sea seems aeons ago. 😂

Gangnam B-Side is the one I am most excited for. 🙌🏻 Ji Chang-wook seems the kind of Mr. Gray (ie gray character 😅) I would be interested in.

Sageuks headed by new(er) actors but not called fusion but still having modern sensibilities and thinking. Do we really need another one of those. As already pointed out Lee Sung-min is the only sageuk actor in the main cast. Will try it for him at least. 😍

Parole Examiner Lee is a revenge drama!? Ah ha. Looks good.

Let us see how spicy the spin-off can be. Again, as pointed out it would be better as a movie. I think both episodes are dropping the same day, no!?

Gong to the Yoo, we love you.
I don't really care what he is in, I'm just happy to be able to see him on the screen again:)
