Awww, I know that feeling. If you remember, come tell us.

It doesn't help that the name of the "free space" changes as well as the day it happens. I also want the blog view back.

The complete unpredictability of the Baeksangs are both the best and worst thing about them.

Some lf their choices are inspired, some are headscratchers

The Last Empress was the drama that made me return to korean dramas after a drama slump. Imo the palace setting, the royal outfits both modern and traditional, makes it feel different from other rich people makjangs.

It's the finest trash for sure. I sometimes watch other countries' "makjang" (they really are great escape!) and nothing beats k-makjangs. They are the classiest and most rational over the top productions out there 😂

@dramaddictally I think we can all tell that you meticulously picked out all of the perfect words to convey the grandiose nature of 🍊 Tangerines 🍊. Deadlines be damned. It wasn’t just a recap, but a glimpse of the essence of the show. I must have read the last paragraph of that recap 10 times, word for word, by now.
And just like the special dramas that park rent free in your head for eternity, I still vividly remember your December post on Flawed Relationships. I’ve been a fan of yours from that point forward. Congrats on your first fan. I’ll keep my distance- don’t worry about getting a restraining order.

Ah @dramaddictally we can’t help but give the praise where it’s due. Most beanies are living in worlds where we are the only
K-drama fans in the village so when DB staff capture what we feel and express it eloquently it adds something extra special to the experience. Every now and again we get a standout drama and this was that drama so it was always going to be a challenge to capture the essence of it and you did that and so much more. I hope you continue to share your joys (and disappointments) with K dramas with us.

As someone who binge-watches months, usually years, after release, I've never been able to give appreciative feedback to those writing often insightful, instructive, clever, and funny recaps/comments week after week. So here's a huge thanks to all of you - these posts are a really big part of why I continue to watch and enjoy k-dramas. (^^)b

I watched the video of him singing from phantom of the opera so many times. That's when I understood why he has been under utilized in kdramas. I have seen him of course many times as the baddie. I have been impressed by him in two dramatic roles- On the way to the airport and thank you.

Some PPL for a hair dryer styling wand thing

Mercedes and Hyundai Cars , Samsung phone

Many of the same tropes
Love Square 🙄 2 guys like 1 girl, other girl has 1 way love for one of the guys, they had had a “ Studio Arranged Dating “ thing going on until they broke up and girl blames our OTPFL .

Birth secret
Brother with a LoanShark Problem
Mystery Guy returns from a decade in the US with one mission, Revenge !

Female star complains about being paired with a singer turned actor . Of course they fall for one another when he saves her from a fire she causes on the set due to her fear of spiders 😂

Have not seen a Truck of Doom, although there are a few characters that need a ToD 😟

Enjoying the show, I have a new found interest in Turkish actresses 😍

Same here. I was super excited when Viki finally got moonlovers- but I could barely get through the first 2 episodes. It feels like an earlier era where things were less polished and dare I say it- kinda cringy and over acted. Just my opinion. I’m sure many will disagree.

When Life Gives You Tangerines
Holy hell, it’s on a completely different level. The acting, the production values, the depth of storytelling…it’s just all turned up to 11. There will be tears, but not all are sad tears. Joyful tears, proud tears, pain tears, triumphant tears, miscommunication tears.

The only thing in common between these two shows is IU. She has come a long long way since Moonlovers.

I lasted 5 episodes and I thought it was something wrong with me since a lot of benies here were happy that it was available on Viki. So I checked the recaps of the first episodes and the last one and I am happy that I found out that I am still OK because many felt the same, including the writers. One observation was that there were over 400 posts in the first one and over 1200. I liked reading the comments, I regret not watching kdramas at that time and I wish more of those early beanies would comment again. It was also pre fanwall, a lot more people were gathering in the recaps and not having private chats on their walls.

I had no expectations of the drama at all - only watched it last week on a whim after seeing it refered to in recent comments - and maybe for that reason enjoyed it to the end. There were many glaring flaws particularly in editing and some characters, esp Eun, were annoying, but for me there was something addictive about the series and I couldn't stop watching!

Just dropping back in to say that I decided to give it another shot and I think I'm committed to the end! Loving JKG and KHN! I do love IU, but her voice is a bit annoying in this drama to me. But, all in all, I'm enjoying it now!

You had me in the first half. XD
