Honestly, that would be better because then at least it would fit with all the other bad titles we’ve had! Bad titles is not an area in which I need originality.

Exactly, being known as X’s daughter by so many people who knew me when I was younger blah blah blah….I bet our mum’s would get on well.🤣

A lonely but nice loser with terrible fashion sense and a horrible sense of humor? Honestly the most relatable character in a long time.

Shakespeare classics like Taming of the shrew, comedy of errors and Tempest anyday.♥️

I wonder if there are any kdrama adaptions based on them

I'm very excited about Mr. Plankton!

These comments had me running to my notes too to be specific about what I've perceived as a good year 😂

I don't know about in comparison to my last two years, but this year, I've seen at least 10 dramas whose names, when I read them, spark the thought, "Man, that was a GREAT show!" Again, not better than some other show...they just make my brain light up with the excitement of an onslaught of memories of sounds and images. Not all 10 were broadcast this year. Only 6 were.

@vienibenmio I love your positivity! Your comment made me think about calculating the percentage of dramas I loved this year to the number I watched. It's entirely possible that the percentage is higher than last year, even though the total watch number is lower ::: runs off to check notes:::

There has been for about 10 years or so a Korean-African Foundation to promote charitable activities in African countries, that is actually affiliated with the government, and it probably gets a lot of publicity. (Of course, its Korea's attempt to expand its international influence over a developing continent.) So that's I think the reason why In Kdramas, work in "Africa" has become a stand in for overseas charity

I don't know why they keep referring to "Africa" in this way though, because I'm sure that there are a lot of kdrama fans living in Nigeria, Kenya or Ghana (or Egypt or Morocco or South Africa), who might wonder why their advanced economies need Kim Young Dae to come over and hand out shoes.

Now, on the other hand, if Shin Min-A came over to a certain neighborhood on the west coast of "America" and wanted to hand out shoes to senior citizens, I'd be first in line!

It was worse than SITR imo, but they're both inexplicably bad. Precisely why I wouldn't watch Midnight Romance in Hagwon.

I forgot about Mr. Plankton!

I've had two dramas I've really loved this year (Atypical Family and NGNL), so I'm pretty grateful.

Her American English is so perfect, I bet her Australian accent is perfect as well.
