In my no-live-watches moment, many of you suggested I “get outside” or “read a book.” By that did you mean, stay inside, watch dramas, and contemplate other people reading books like their lives depended on it?
@hopefulromantic I did also watch “Mission: Possible” and am very much looking forward to the full-length drama sequel that seems to be in the works!? The two lead characters were hilarious–I’d never seen Lee Sun-bin in anything before and she was an utter delight as a straightman–and I also loved how she and KYK were shown to be as evenly matched in fighting prowess as the patriarchy will allow. 😉
YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! 😆🙌🎉✨️ Mission: Possible is, quite literally, my favorite action-comedy!!! KYK and LSB are such a good match with their comedy timing (and physical comedy). She is SO funny. I also really enjoy the fighting scenes and that the movie lets them both have their moments! I haven’t heard anything about a sequel (the drama spinoff or another movie) for a while, so I’m still hoping they’ll follow through and give us more!! 😬
I’m glad you’re enjoying this drama, Seon-ha!!! Midnight, I felt similarly to you about this one. But, I was glad I watched it since it’s a Beanie classic!
How can you two be bored when the 2ML looks and acts like a cross between Ji Chang-wook and Jo Han-chul!!?? That alone keeps me gripped as my mind does a constant string of double-takes…
WHOA WHOA WHOA Ji Chang-wook + Jo Han-chul !! 🤯 You’re right!! I think this was a drama I had hyped up SO MUCH in my mind based on Beanie love that the poor thing had no chance of living up to that 😅 But the leads were undeniably adorable!
The 2ML ruined this one for me. In fact, I wanted to pummel the screen every time the 2ML appeared. Its a miracle my t.v. wasn’t broken while watching this.
He’s not your type, huh, @hacja? You’re more a Ju Ji-hoon guy? Strong and silent?
I love the 2ML and sort of think it wouldn’t be the worst thing if he prevailed. Boong-do could go back to where he belongs, taking responsibility for as many women as he can possibly convince to accept him along the way.
Well, of course I’m always watching kdramas for male role models, especially ones from the Joseon era.
No, seriously (not really) the show opens with with the 2ML trying to pull the curtain so everyone sees the FL naked, snickering like a character from the classic 1980s film, Porky’s Pimpin’ Pee Wee. He’s constantly condescending to her, then at one point, as I recall, he actually physically abuses her, striking her in anger. So no role model for me!
I guess the one thing in his favor is that he’s not one of those perfect 2MLs that causes you to wonder why the FL chooses the really boring Joseon time traveler instead!
It always seems to me that, with possible exception of Goblin, Yoo In-na plays too submissive a character in her dramas. She’s certainly one of the most beautiful actresses around.

I’m one of the very few people who was completely bored and exasperated with this show. Hope you have a better experience.

I love time-travel, I was having fun in the first half, just not loving it as much as others. Then it became Yoo In Na crying incessantly for hours.

Like this, @hacja ?
And, yes, the 2ML is not a gentleman. No squirty bottles or endearing uses of his tongue and eyebrows to make commentary.
