ONGOING
Brewing Love - Too many stories came out of nowhere this week. I did like that he sweetly made her home warmer and full of memories. Using his senses to catch the delivery guy was kinda cool too.

Face Me - No surprises at all in Lee Yi-kyung being the intruder. Maybe there'll be a nice plot twist on the reasons behind it? One can only hope.

The Fiery Priest S2 (up to Ep. 9) - Significant plot progress in Eps. 7-8 with the bomb and gas tank plot. Then we got a whole lot of nothing in Ep. 9 but we ended on Shaman Oppa (Kyung-sun) and Unnie (Hae-il) so I'm still watching...

Marry You - Can't believe we passed over the dead fiancée so quickly. And then we got the SFL's crazy machinations against the kids. Where did my sweet comedy go?

When the Phone Rings - The bedroom scene was SO typical but somehow still funny. Some of the other actors are really putting the M in makjang with their acting though.

Love on a Single Log Bridge - They gave the FL the sob story of the century but the adult version is still written as too unlikeable. At least the ML is moderately funny. But I yearn for the past scenes and that's not something I'd expect in a Ju Ji-hoon show.

STARTED (not really!)
Didn't start any of the weekend shows that were originally on my watchlist 😅. Will try out Light Shop over the weekend.

C-DRAMAS
3 episodes into See Her Again. Atmospheric and interesting so far.

Waiting for Under the Skin 2 to start. Trailer looks good!

Brewing Love: It was JUSTTT….fine, lol. Our couples are cute, our stories are quaintly wrapped, and the beer has won gold, what more could we ask for.

Light Shop: I didn’t expect this to be horror. So, I was startled at first, because I am not particularly a horror fan, but I kind of liked it.

Family Matters: This drama is slow paced, which I don’t mind. I also appreciate that it isn’t a single drop. I prefer this way of learning new information each episode and what their powers are.

When the Phone Rings?: I am sad not to watch it this weekend, but protecting their country from the inner party trying to bring SK down is more important. I wish half of US voters understood that, but I digress, this is not the place. Netflix shows that it will be uninterrupted after this though, which is good.

The tale of Lady Ok: I am very much looking forward to episode 3, I wonder if it will be just as long. Hopefully, they tell us who “twin, where have you been?” is. I look forward to her getting justice.

Marry You: 💍 (5-6) A lot was revealed! The ML's past is just as wholesome as he is, and the SFL is just as selfish as she seemed from the start. The ML and FL have such a warm and sweet rapport, but we need to move on to romance!! My ideal ending: time jump to ML and FL running their own matchmaking business/restaurant; they're enjoying dating, and the twins are helping ML plan a proposal. *throws confetti* 😂

Parole Examiner Lee👨‍⚖️ (5-6) I keep wanting to call him Secret Royal Inspector Lee! This is exciting and very satisfying to see justice done. But I think it's taken a turn for the dark with the introduction of a Big Bad... 😬😨

●63% done with Family By Choice San-ha's mom is the woooooorst. Everyone else is awesome. THEY NEED TO BE HAPPY FOREVER AND EVER. Also: unleash the romance!!!
●68% done with Cheat On Me If You Can oooh I wasn't expecting those reveals! But they make so much sense and match the evidence we already had.
●30% done with She Would Never Know Rowooooooooon 😍
●Spotify Wrapped Stats: I listened to 3,221 artists this year, but I'm in the top 0.5% of listeners to ATEEZ!
●In other news... Mom finished Cafe Minamdang, and really enjoyed it! She loved the cast.

Finished
My Journey to You: This was awesome! Dark and moody, mysterious and beguiling, tense and twisty, and utterly gorgeous. The visuals are stunning - it's worth the watch for them alone. This was also a good follow-up watch to The Double for me, although not quite as satisfying. As a wuxia, this has some great action and combat scenes. The ending is kind of open but I was fine with it - this drama never promises more. In the end, it was about... ~the journey~ (sorry, I couldn't resist). Recommend if you like moody wuxia that are strong on visuals!

The Tale of Lady Ok (1-2): The episodes were long, but this was a very promising start. Hopefully it keeps this up for the whole run. Totally here for Gudeok fighting the good fight against the rich and powerful. Bring it on!

Face Me (9-10): I mean, let's be honest, were we really expecting Lee Yi-Kyung not to be evil in this? I do wonder if and how Jung-woo's mom ties into all this though. Also, wasn't expecting Min-Hyung's brother to survive. I was so sure he was dead, so that was a pleasant surprise. In other good news: Hyo Ju finally got the surgery she wanted. Too bad that's where the good news ends because her life is in danger yet again. Hasn't she been through enough? Just leave her in peace darn it.

Light Shop (1-2): Somehow I wasn't actually aware this was a horror show. But anyway, it really nails that vibe. It's unsettling, creepy, and very mysterious. And somehow even a thunderstorm makes for a very effective jumpscare (multiple times). However I'm not exactly sure what story this show is actually trying to tell, but it's still early. Haven't had time to watch episodes 3 & 4 yet.

Family Matters: 8.5 I'm not likely to fall asleep in the middle of this one. 😲

The Trunk 5.0 Out partway thru ep 2. There's enough bleak, depressing, ominous stuff in the real world. I don't need more in my entertainment.

Fiery Priest s2: 7.0 Not really to my taste, but bonus for creativity with the singing confession and the puppet (which really reminded me of the one in the Smile Time episode of Angel)

When The Phone Rings: 8.0 Nowadays should be "When the Phone Plays Your Custom Ringtone".
Alternate Titles Game, Chae Soo-bin edition:
Strongest Interpreter
I'm Not a Mutist
Rookie Interpreter

The Tale of Lady Ok: 7.5 Using fire arrows for that night attack at the end of ep 1 was silly -- pretty but just extra trouble for the bandits and likely burns up a lot of the loot. Pros would kill everyone, collect everything worth carrying, then maybe torch the place. Sigh. Drama.

Parole Examiner Lee: 7.3

Face Me: 6.5 Really?? Hypnosis to recover memories? I thought hypnosis worked better to implant false memories. Then persuade people the false memories are real and you can frame somebody, "solve" your mystery, make yourself look smart and claim hypnosis is valuable. But it's all bullshit.

Light Shop: 5.5 for episodes 1 & 2. Took too long to get around to whatever the point is.

Love Your Enemy: Dropped

Marry You: 6.0 Not really worth my time, but I've gone this far...

Meanwhile, recent events in S. Korea seem to indicate that it is possible for democratic institutions to slap down a (corrupt??) right-wing president who doesn't know his place and violates democratic norms. Interesting...

And Syria: not the 3-day special military operation Putin wanted.

MARRY YOU (ep. 5-6) This week we had a blizzard of out-of-the-blue story details with frantic, sudden, new plot ends. At the halfway point, (1) we have a semi-evil heiress who jumped the gun to trap her man-prey; (2) Hana the public servant who between balancing her desire for work promotion and a new personal life chose work; (3) Bong is having conflicting reservations about leaving his island life; (4) and a show that introduces new characters every week; and (5) the Twins are the stars of the show.

Live Watches
Brewing Love: This week wasn’t quite as strong as previous weeks, but I find myself not caring at all. With our kind leads, cute seconds, and endearing villagers, I’m just happy to hang out. Sad that this show is ending this week but hoping for a good wrap up for everyone (excluding that mean section leader who is literally the only “bad” character in the whole show)!

Love Your Enemy: I‘m still not completely sure how I feel about this, or how I’ll feel once we stop doing these long teenage-version scenes, but I was still extremely entertained last week, so I’ll continue. I’m always here to see a guy be an absolute loser in love, and Seok-Ji is already up there with the greats! Plus, we seem to be destined for cohabitation hijinks, so I’m definitely not missing that!

Recent Dramas:
Jeongnyeon: (7 episode in) I like this way more than last week. I find it endlessly fascinating to see the different actors’ takes on each of the roles. I wish I could have seen more of Doeng with her outright threatening Gomigeol, but Youngseo is incredibly with her strategist and I was blown away by Jeongnyeon’s seductor version (and so was Jooran hahaha!). If the whole show was just people figuring out their roles and then performing them, I would be thrilled, but something tells me we’re headed for more external conflict soon.

Light Shop (First impressions)
While this is certainly the better Joo Ji Hoon show that’s airing right now, I wouldn’t say it’s amazing given how the plot twist at the end of the 1st half of the show was quite obviously telegraphed with the ICU patients being left out of shot. I’m curious to see where the show goes from here but there’s a lot of unrelated procedurals to untangle within the 2nd half.

Family Matters (First impressions)
So there’s the whole superpower grooming thing that seems to be inspired from Moving, a serial killer angle, along with the whole prosperity theology cliche whenever a show needs to have some religious drama, not forgetting our beloved school bullying, the animal abuse, the excessive gore and a reference to the Burning Sun scandal. Too many cooks, I’ll say.

The Tale of Lady Ok (Episode 1-2) - Mood: C-
Despite the too-easy-to-hate villains and a doppelgänger trope that seems to have come out of nowhere, I’m feeling great about the narrative tension now that we’ve gotten past the setup and our FL is now fully embracing her new identity. I’m so confused about how the ML’s ride or die for the FL that quickly but I guess it’s just drama magic. Hopefully this stays good!

Love Your Enemy (Episode 3-4) - Mood: D+
Cohabitation trope! Of course, the ML decided to move in after hearing that the 2ML moved in. Speaking of which, the 2ML is cute but I feel bad for the actor: the writer pretty much undercut the character arc by having the ML hijack the past as in the epilogue. And then there’s the 2FL whose characterisation’s so bad that no words are needed: it’s just pathetic writing.

When the Phone Rings (Episode 3-4) - Mood: D+
Ok, now we have the childhood connection trope plus more switched identities. I guess that was a good cliffhanger since it was time the ML found out about the FL blackmailing him before it dragged too long, but the show already has sis prepped and ready to add more nonsense into the plot. Is the 2FL our last hope for a character that is totally unrelated to makjang?

Brewing Love (Episode 9-10) - Mood: D
It’s like a cursed pattern: when the OTP was going through turbulence the second couple was all joy, but now it’s the OTP’s turn to be happy while the second couple takes turns to be the noble idiot. I think in the real world, therapy instead of love? Also, the corporate stuff is suffocating the whole narrative but we’re bringing it into the finale? That’s a bold choice, writer.

LIVE WATCHES:

1. BREWING LOVE - As always, this is a delightful weekly watch with a light touch. Even better - NO SERIAL KILLER STORYLINE CRAMMED IN!

2. LOVE YOUR ENEMY - I like this drama quite a lot. I know a lot of Beanies can't stand the squabbling ML-FL but after seeing what happened to them as teens, I think it's fine because they are literally the embodiment of how the people who affected us the most in our childhood and teen years know exactly how to push our buttons to get us to regress to that behaviour sometimes. And with the ML/FL, there's a lot of unresolved and unnecessary hurt that needs to be addressed.

3. MARRY YOU - What a horrible person In-Ah has turned out to be with her trying to get rid of the ML's niece and nephew by packing them off to school abroad. ML needs to nip all her attempts at forming a relationship with him in the bud because she is just bad news all around.

4. LIGHT SHOP - An intriguing and eerie start to this Supernatural Horror drama by Kang Full has me impatient for next week's episode.

Without a doubt, the most gripping drama this week streamed from the streets of Seoul. If we fear it can happen with the populists in our own backyard, we can also hope to stand as strong as the people and (some) politicians of South Korea. #IYKYK

I've often wondered why the plucky slaves remain grateful second leads to their noble owners in sageuks. Well, not so Lady OK! Some minor quibbles aside, what a great start. I am going to love this if it doesn’t go astray. The other drama that kept me on the edge of my seat was Light Shop, but I've only completed Ep. 1 so far. I need a breather after what happened to my poor Uhm Tae-goo. And also, to make sure someone's in the house with me while I watch. 🧳🩸 😱 😂

Yes, there's also tension in When the Phone Rings, but mostly, it's just such a fun watch. Also fun was Sorry Not Sorry. Yes, rather basic, but I quite enjoyed watching JSM as our down-in-the-dumps heroine beginning her journey. Is anyone else watching?

I'm still enjoying Iron Family though these recent episodes are taking the characters through the wringer. While Brewing Love continues to be my mild palate cleanser amid the more high-stake dramas.

In the mixed emotions camp, while I continue to adore the young leads of Love Your Enemy, the focus really needs to shift to the grown-ups for the rest of the drama to shine. I also binged The Trunk, which, well, could have been worse. And I dropped Fangs of Fortune, my one-and-only current C-drama.

With the long holiday weekend last week, so much work, and so many on-air dramas, I'd fallen quite behind. But with the break in many shows, I'm trying to decide whether to pick up again Marry You or Face Me, which I'd paused. Anyone watching both?

The Trunk - This one required a whole lot of settling in into. After episode 3, I entered a binge-fest and every other drama took a backseat. Major points I noted.
In-ji and Jeong-won took and found comfort in each other's presence. I really cheered when I saw this guy enter a peaceful state. The last time this happened was Perfect Marriage Revenge when Seo Do-guk slept without having to take pills and for such a stretched amount of time. Seeing Jeong-won sleep on his own brought that nostalgia back, like he finally found home.
His ex-wife Seo-yeon is crazy toxic, but I really wanted things to work out between her and her arranged husband. I loved their resolution at the end. In-ji had her running for her money though.

Which brings me to my tiff. Episode 8. Don't ever break up with me in that manner ever. That was quite traumatic to experience - to see your night ruined in such a manner especially after all the comfort from that day's troubles and the... I'm lost for words. That was very cruel. I really wished they found each other. I really wished I met them at the the resolution written for Seo-yeon and Ji-o by the time The Trunk ended.

Iron Family - I wish Crosswalk we well.
And, nice smooching by Bom Apps and Auntie Mi-yeon.

When The Phone Rings - They saved the sweetest part of it all for last. Now I have to wait for another week to see what happened in that preview.

Waiting for the Phone to Ring has never had me in such a tizzy before... So rewatching bits and pieces on social media is my only go-to during this excruciating delay.
Other than that, Trunk was a great, great, watch, which I did twice already... Gong Yoo looks like an incredibly handsome turtle somehow (Just me who feels that way? Ok!) The OST is playing on loop as well. One of my favourite shows of the year.

Every other show is just plain boiled milk compared to these two, so not even trying to watch anything else.

Happy Saturday, Beanies! Hope your day was better than mine that sucked all around)))

SEE HER AGAIN: I'd really love to ask makers of this version WHY they decided to add this makjangy connection between two important characters that not only stretches my suspension of disbelief paper thin – so far there's no indication of it being done on purpose, so what were the odds? - but also makes everyone look extra freaking dumb. And lemme tell you – I wasn't all that impressed characters intelligence here so far... Original had plenty of their stupid moments too, but at least these made sense via characterization, but here? Not to mention that this leads to a clear conflict of interests/authority abuse, but everyone is OK with it somehow? Eh, whatever. Psycho guy remains the best thing about it with his gruesome backstory and commitment to being chaos agent. Good part is that ML has grown on me, but others will probably remain a mind-numbing white noise till the end.

BLACK AND WHITE FOREST: I'm very, very confused right now – what the hell is even going on here? Why all the characters – esp cops and gangsters – seem related, and openly so? That's cheating, yunno))) Why Ning Li's team leader is so unjustly hostile to DYX's ML, despite them being not only coworkers but also apparently in-laws? Why everyone blames ML for “losing his gun” when it was a sneaky violent attack and robbery? I get that it's a big deal, esp in a country with strict guns control, but come on, he's a victim here, leave it at suspension, why bullying the guy? Also it's ridiculous to see gangsters this silly, being all TERRIFIED of a shooting – their line of job doesn't produce faint-hearted people... For now it looks like a cheap law-themed makjang comedy, ans hardly funny one at that, not a thriller at all. If things don't get better soon, I'm out. At least episodes are extra short, only 37 minutes with credits...

BLOSSOM: I was really bored and needed some non-modern drama for a change. Overall, it's OK: much more smooth writing/directing/pacing than most costume shows lately, gorgeous cinematography, pretty standard rebirth/do-over revenge plot (but somewhat creatively done usual “it was all a dream... or was it?” censorship loophole) with all the genre tropes like cheating husbands, awful parents, scheming mistresses and framed generals. But it's not the tropes that matter, it's execution, right? So far I'm not annoyed. The biggest downside is leads – not that they are bad actors, no... but I don't find them truly gripping (yet?). ML playing General Bloody Rebel is especially not it with his flower boy face and gentle eyes. Where is the murderous rizz, dude? Alas, it happens more often than not in cdramas, so I'll get over it someday. Probably.

Still need to catch up with THE FIERY PRIEST 2 and glimpse at LIGHT SHOP.

When the phone rings has me hooked!! Rewatching, spazzing me making gifs. YYS is 🔥The hands, veins, phone, watch and ring in a Single frame is deadly. How does a girl breathe??

Love your enemy is still fun.

Background watches - Brewing love, Face me

Started Light shop and Trunk.
It’s such joy to see Gong Yoo. Watched only one episode and totally immersed. Hope to binge this weekend.

I am currently obsessing just like everyone else about When the Phone Rings and really enjoying Love your Enemy.

Also just finished binging Family by Choice, which I liked, but didn't love. I was strangely pretty detached from what was going on.

We Are Criminal Police. Nail-biting my way through episodes as they're released on iQiYi. The longest manhunt in drama history. When are they ever going to get this guy? The point-blank shooting in NYC came along in the middle of this drama manhunt and the style of the crime was so similar it was uncanny.

One notable thing about this drama: the faces of dead victims are blurred out, also evidence of violence to corpses. No forensic porn here. I am so grateful.

I'm not watching too much at the moment. While WHEN THE PHONE RINGS is practically pushing everything else into the background, I can spare some time for LOVE YOUR ENEMY (I liked episode 4 better than the rest, good thing I haven't given up yet) and THE TALE OF LADY OK.

WHEN THE PHONE RINGS: While some (@missvictrix) calculate how often Yoo Yeon-seok's left hand with his wedding ring is in the picture, I count how often he raises his right eyebrow. I hadn't realised how sexy that can be.

Ballad of Seo Dong/The Song of the Prince: I'd wanted to watch this pre-Queen Seondeok Kim Young Hyun sageuk for years and it just popped up on Kocowa. It's definitely old school, but in a good way, and while it doesn't have the cracktastic narrative pull of Kim's later shows, its exploration of technological innovation and industrial espionage in the Three Kingdoms era is quite fun from a history-geek perspective.

When the Phone Rings: I'm not sure this will ultimately end up making any sense, even by the twisted logic of rich people makjang, and this is definitely NOT my favorite flavor of male lead, but Chae Soo Bin's character is intriguing enough that I may give it a few more episodes and see where it goes.

Hi beanies!!

What I am watching:

_ Marry You (6 episodes out of 10). I'm still enjoying this little drama which is deeper than it seemed. I really like the ML (Lee Yi Kyung) and his emotional intelligence.

_ When the phone rings (4 out of 12). Honestly, I'm not very invested in this drama, but it's being fun to share some theories with my friends.

_ The tale of Lady Ok (2 out of 16). Wow, what a good start! I love everything so far. There are some powerful sequences and beautiful scenes.

_ Jugglers (8 out or 16). I'm enjoying this rom-com a lot. I'm glad I didn't drop it, the main couple is giving me butterflies.

_ C-drama Later I laughed (16 out of 24). I have a problem with this show. It's about stand-up comedy but I don't find their monologues funny. They don't even make me smile.
The drama has other virtues, though. Interesting reflections on life/peace of mind/dreams/career... and a good OST.

_ Anime. Remake of Ranma 1/2 on Netflix. 9 episodes. I was a fan of the original anime when I was a child. I can say this remake is very similar.

What I have finished:

_ C-drama The Bond. This is so good! If you love slice-of-life dramas, you have to watch it.

Western shows:

_ Just started Only murders in the building Season 4.

The Trunk. I may have only started watching this for Gong Yoo & his cardigans (Gong Yoo - King of Knitwear!), but this turned out to a really good Gothic drama to pass the dark winter evenings. Grimly foreboding house, twisted villains, vulnerable protagonists. Well-written characters. Lots of suspense and atmosphere, without ever being too dark.

Face Me. Oh, this is badly acted. And I guessed who the real villain was several episodes ago. But still, it's entertaining, and I watch. 😊

When the Phone Rings. Remarkably cheesy, and I am enjoying it immensely. Can't wait till next weekend when the series resumes airing.

Marry You. Bit disappointed with this. It just seems to get blander as it goes on.

C-drama

Brocade Odyssey. Ouch. This is bad. Completely and utterly unoriginal in every way - practically Grand Theft Plot. And how could they write it without a single convincing character in it? Dropped hastily.

Blossom. I actually enjoyed the first two episodes. There is a slim chance this might be watchable. (But if so, everyone will die in the end, almost certainly, right?)

Later I Laughed. I'm liking the smart & sympathetic female protagonist, and the two sides to her personality - the quiet conformist protective camouflage, and the real person underneath, the sarky rebel. This is actually quite cleverly written so far, but I haven't reached episode ten yet. (Not sure if this is another of those dramas written by a team of writers, so will have to wait and see whether the quality of the writing varies...)

Iron Family: I agree with Cha Rim, Da Rim. You don't like TU. He's your oppa as in bro, and you know it.
I mean, if you really do like him, you have a strange way of showing it.
Hitting him to get him to like you? No wonder no one takes you seriously, bestie.
Light Shop (EP2): the electricity bill most be quite heavy... This has a plot, right?
Family Matters: how can I wait a whole week???
PS. I feel like this would be Justitia's favorite show of year.
When the Phone Rings: I don't see enough people talking about how adorable the SFL is. She deserves more love. She's so cute and harmless.
Love Your Enemy (dropped): I don't know why they chose to recycle the worst tropes of the 2010's (with both second leads), but what I dislike the most is that we didn't even get to see any friendship between the girls because it was so damn obvious the SFL is more of a plot device than a character who's part of the Ji Wons lives. She really ruined the only thing I liked about this (the flashbacks).

BTW, why isn't he getting a restriction order? She's so creepy.
Under the Gun (binge): Se Young is one of the coolest FLs of the year, and this couple is one of the cutest and most realistic ones too.
Trunk (dropped): I just don't care about these characters.
Lady Ok: let's not get too attached to ANYONE, guys. T.T
Anyway, I love uri Gudeoki and I hope she gets to reunite with her dad and her hubby too... But not before she kicks some noble ass and puts those horrible people in their place.
Sorry Not Sorry: kids, this is why we need to learn how to mind our own business, or at least not make assumptions.
The fact that Ji Song feels the need to hide herself and lie during simple social interactions with strangers is sad. She should feel safe to be herself and speak the truth.
I love her nephew and dongsaeng btw.
Savvy Class 101 (dropped): if you want to be popular you should NOT blackmail people and invade their privacy, girl.

I'm back to watching KDramas after really really long.. and now it's all I'm doing. I'm averaging 3 days per show.

Be Melodramatic- I really loved this slice of life drama. It had some good humorous scenes like Jin-joo playing the guitar to annoy the director, the whispering scene and each and every PPL scene. Also Shampoo Scent in the Flowers is such a cute song. Han-joo was my favourite- such an awesome character- competent, wise and taking the no drama route! I only wasn't too fond of the stories of some side characters like the senior writer and Han-joo's colleague's girlfriends- felt like too much time was spent on them. I'll also remember this drama for all the fried chicken- actually the drama was one of the most PPL heavy I have seen.

Spice Up Our Love- Watched it for the easy bean. I wasn't so thrilled with No Gain No Love but this was actually really fun! I felt her spicy scenes were better with the secretary in the books.. Fok-yu's intro as the novel lead brought the vibe down. It was nicely meshed with the original story- the extra bounce while he was taking her to the hospital in the dream might have been the same as when he was taking her to the hospital in the original show..also the trauma about her father. I enjoyed it!

Light Shop- I want to do some live watching this year, and this seems the most interesting of the current lot. 2 episodes down- it is scary good so far! Probably shouldn't be watching it at night!

Business Proposal - This drama is still so popular on social media- I have succumbed to all the reels. It is drama crack after so long, both female leads are awesome. I am already in the final stretch of the drama and hoping it stays good.

Switch: A really nice drama filled with elaborate plans to cheat other cheaters. The FL is nice but a little bit boring – I would have liked her to see her cheat MLx2 back, at least once. Anyway, both the ML and the 2ML had loads of charm, and it didn’t hurt that they were played by the same guy. I am really surprised at googling him and finding how his image normally is. An emo-boyband boy with the near clichéed long black dyed forehead lock of hair! Anyway, even if I had a better ending for everybody ready in my mind (Prosecutor moves to the country side with congirl, she becomes a writer, he makes tea for her and watches his health. Conman continues his life with a borrowed name and lots of small illegalities with virtuous prosecutie, and they have little proseconlings) , … apart from my ending being superior to the actual one, it was a fine show.
Iron Family: One thing that happened in the last episode that was a great relief was that ML Kangjo and his mother independantly both told the Unfairman off. Though Kangju got mad about the wrong thing, namely that someone had helped 2ML Tae-ung off the hook by proving he could not have been the on snitching on Kangju. When he heard it was FL Da-rim, he got mad at her though not for long.
Brewing love: This seemed almost like it would be the last episode. Everything was beginning to really look up and then, what happened? Can it please end well?
Six Hours of Martial Law in South Korea: This Horror Comedy was a bit too scary for my taste, though the absurdness of it and it’s quick ending (big fan of the quick ending) made it seem like a joke. I really do not want to see a season 2 of this, but I hope for a short spin-off, a court drama-comedy called DITCH: Prez and Friends Indicted
***
Not a K-drama:
Tidsrejsen 2 (The Time Travel 2) I have talked about a calendar Christmas Drama earlier, that had a really disappointing ending. Well, after about ten years. The second season is here, the former protagonist now playing an important side character. (I am really happy to see that actress back on the screen. She was never the disappointment, nor is she now). The super disappointing ending of the first calendar drama can be corrected now, and I hope against hope that it will happen – it’s the same writers.

I don't know about you, but my favorite Korean drama is 윤석열 failing to institute Martial law. I'm glad that the SK incel president is being kicked to the curb About time. I mean after the Itaewon crush incident, I wanted him booted. But it looks like they are going to boot him.

I hope we get a replay of this in a Korean drama???
