Good morning and Happy Monday, Beanies!
Last week, after the disappointment I felt in watching the first 10mins of Sisyphus (just not my cup of tea, unfortunately. I absolutely adore Cho Seung-Woo but… * sigh * How is Park Shin-Hye’s character escaping a horde of assailants with super tech vision/detection equipment + a drone that clearly pointed right at her, while running in a train yard, barefoot, while dragging a suitcase?!?!? HOOOOW?!?!?),
I decided to comfort my soul by re-watching Moment at Eighteen.
What a delight this re-watch was! All the feels came right back up, and my love for the characters and their growth was renewed immediately. This Show was so well done, in terms of expressing realistic teenage innocence and angst, the struggle, the simple joys, toxic parenthood, elitism and Love Love Love… It has a different level of wholesome fluffiness, especially when compared to another of my favourite youth dramas, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo (which I re-watched in 2019. I adore it!) After watching the last episode last night, my only wish was to be transported into Soo Bin and Joon Woo’s future together. Ah, Teach Oh and Oh Je’s too. I loved those four so much!!
Next on my re-watch list
(because the fear of committing to a New Show only to be disappointed by its lackluster delivery half-way through is all too real. I kind of enjoyed Run On but not quite enough that it didn’t leave a wonky “meh. Blah” aftertaste)
is My Love From the Star !! I hope this one stands the test of time (it’s 8yrs old!).
I have been thinking about My Love From The Star recently as well (clips from the show randomly pop up on YT for me) and I think I might give it a rewatch one day.
