I can't believe this! I've been waiting for this board to come up, but I have never been first before!
My squee at the moment is all about Weak Hero Class. I completely surprised myself at how much I loved this drama - both seasons. I never thought that I would be able to watch it because of the bullying and violence, but the friendships made the drama. And, I was so drawn to each character and how they supported each other that I could get through the stressful parts. I loved the actors, the art direction, the writing, and the OST. Just all around so well done. It's hard for me to separate the seasons as I watched them together and there are so many positives about each season. I think my heart is with season 1 and I am definitely on team SuHo/Sieun.
OK, I'll try to sop going on about this. Now, I'm trying to figure out what to watch now. I really, really need to watch TANGERINES, but I might need a lighthearted rom-com first..... will take suggestions for a good binge watch.
Happy week to all.

I came to squee about Resident Playbook, the whole of the drama. I went in with high expectations because you know, it's the Shin PD creation but was quite disappointed with episode 1 and almost thought of dropping. Not to mention the constant comparison by folks to Hospital Playlist which was quite infuriating because I just wanted to enjoy the show.
Great acting and great sub-stories amongst the story. Last week episodes cemented my love for the series and I appreciate wherever the story is heading to. And Yes, to the last scene in episode 8, the bus scene, it was heart-warming and a major cause of my squeeing this week. I can't remember how many times I've rewatched that part.

Rise of Phoenixes. I have watched 29 episodes so far and there is no romance yet BUT there are some scenes involving the ML and the FL which made me hold my breath. Very sensual.

Squeeing about a classic this week: I’m currently rewatching EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY WOO, and - you guessed it - yesterday evening came across that scene again: Jun-ho placing his hand against Young-woo’s office door’s window. 🥹🫠🫠🥰
A marvel.

And I’m still squeeing about our imogi & shaman. Somehow I’m convinced the daughter “they” had (famous cameo of LOVE NEXT DOOR FL’s child actress) in FL’s foreboding dream must definitely be called Imogen. 😂

Thanks for the post DB. I was practically yelling for Ku Do Won to hold Yi Young’s hand. Eeeeee!

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon! I'd never seen it before. If you fast forward through anything involving gangsters, serial killers, or puerile homophobic humor, you get one of the best love stories (so far). And he might be my new favorite ML. He's smitten from the first, but he just keeps her near him with one excuse or another and lets her take the time to figure out that she likes him, too. And he admires her for all the things she's insecure about. There's something oddly graceful about the pacing of the romance in an otherwise pretty crude and unsubtle show.

Hands. That is all 😍😍

*waits for someone to call me a bot for posting a YT video* 🤭

I've been watching Love Game in an Eastern Fantasy. Any Beanies watching this drama?

What's in a Name?

Naming these posts Weekly Squee makes me overthink it too much. I'm watching a drama, Saturday is too far away, I want to talk about it, but will it seem like I'm absolutely loving it if I write on the Squee post? Do I have to write a disclaimer first that I'm just moderately enjoying it? How do I approach it if I'm actually disliking one aspect and I want to talk about that? I think and think until it's Friday and the Open Thread goes up and now, well, I've waited the whole week, I can wait until tomorrow's WWW.
Sigh. The problems of an overthinker looking for a neutral space in the middle of the week.

Nowhere else to post this so here’s a Washington Post article about the Haenyo of Jeju. The comments are also interesting and explain more that the article doesn’t and several haenyo-related documentaries in addition to some kdramas.

Instead of the OTP of RP, here I’m squeeing over the FL’s older sister’s couple. I adore them.

How are you'll finding The Haunted Palace?
Is Pump Up the Healthy Love really that bad? I was looking forward to watching!
I've been too busy but want to pick an easy watch from the current offering.

I was going to squee about Sooyoung and Gong Myung in Second Shot at Love... and then the ending of ep.2 happened.
What the fridge????
