Watching Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors) competing against his former Splash Brother Klay Thompson (Dallas Mavericks) was like watching Na Hee-Do competing against Ko Yu-Rim.

The Judge from Hell and Jeong Nyeon recaps have been posted yet Hulu hasn’t even dropped those episodes yet 🤬.
I wish Hulu would do better

Jeong Nyeon and Twenty Five Twenty One have some massive similarities.
Kim Tae Ri is the obvious one as the talented dreamer.
You also have mentor, the rival, the friend, and the mom with a troubled but linked past.
And here’s one more.
This same random guy who is blessed to be the insightful catalyst for the KTR. He’s the random guy who comforted Na Hee-Do at her lowest and he’s the same guy who gives Jeong Nyeon confidence on the bus. Same guy, just an alternate universe

When she switched from Japanese to Korean in frustration: what a powerful scene. 🫡

Is it just me?
The timing of the subtitles for JeongNyeon is mistimed by a ton.
Thanks a lot Hulu. 😵‍💫

    That’s a bummer. It wasn’t so noticeable on Disney to me at least.

    They started out okay, but got increasingly out of sync as things went along, at least in episode 1

What Comes After Love
It well past my bedtime and after 2 enthralling episodes- I’m ready to give it all the beans.
Please end well because the things you love the most can hurt you the most

Drawing Closer
I’m on roll with Jdramas so bear with me as the kdrama drought continues.

I watched this show on a flight. Big mistake as I was a sobbing mess. On a scale of 1-10 tissue boxes, this is a solid 10 tissue box.

A boy with 1 year to live meets a girl with 6 months to live. It was touching, it was sweet. It was so emotionally engaging. I want to be a better person after watching this show.

I loved this movie. It was so sad AND so uplifting at the same time. I think I’m in a depressed funk right now enjoying all of these sad Jdrama movies.

Highly recommended

18×2 Beyond Youthful Days

10/10

I’ve been in a Kdrama slump this year with very few shows that were impactful enough to me to warrant much of a discussion. Hence a lot of radio silence from me for most shows these days.

Then I stumbled upon this Taiwanese/Japanese show. What a gem that is hidden in plain sight on Netflix.

It’s beautiful. It’s bittersweet. It’s powerfully emotional.
The cinematography is outstanding.

It’s about a 36 year old man in Taiwan who has lost his way after founding a successful company (portrayed by the talented Greg Hsu from Someday or Oneday). He’s hit rock bottom. I can relate- I feel that I’m stuck in a similar situation.
He then travels to Japan in search of a girl (the stunning Kaya Kiyohara) he befriended 18 years ago.

It’s a nostalgic view about self discovery. It about realizing that life is short and the ephemeral moments that make life special. It’s a reflection about life and living.
If you are human- you will cry.

It heavily references a 1995 Japanese movie Love Letter which now needs to be on my watchlist.

Finished jdrama Meet Me After School
Do not recommend.
I thought it might be a cute age gap theme like Something in the Rain.
Instead, it was a whole series of bad incongruous life choices. 🫤

Who here is also fascinated with Olympic fencing 🤺 because of Twenty Five Twenty One?

Something that been in my watchlist forever but was never available anywhere in the USA.
I randomly found it on Pluto TV for FREE and legal.
Halfway thought and it’s a gem.

And then The Atypical Family pulls me right back in.
Also great to see the its okay to not be okay kids reunited.

Yoo-Na from Kidnapping Day wins a Baeksang award for best new actress! 👏🏻
I’d like to think that us beanies get credit for our constant public admiration for her heroic efforts

Lovely Runner ep3 was all kinda cringe. And the dad’s acting was just plain bad and annoying. I guess my humor isn’t aligned with Korean humor.

But then the last 5 minutes. 😳🤯.

Recipie for a show

Lovely Liar plus Lovely Boxer minus the Lying Boxer but add a dose of Runner.

Sprinkle in some high school time traveling Twinkling Watermelon and the forboding tunnel from Twenty Five Twenty One and you get

Lovely Runner

I\’m all in.

Tell Me That You Love Me finale

Farewell to an amazing show that captured the precious moments of life in the most beautiful heartfelt manner.

I will remember this show forever.

I’m going to need to take a break from Kdramas for a bit. This show took a stranglehold of my soul and it’s going to take a bit of time for me to wrangle my soul back. I don’t have any emotional energy left to spend on another show.

Bravo

    This show took a stranglehold of my soul and it’s going to take a bit of time for me to wrangle my soul back. I don’t have any emotional energy left to spend on another show.

    While I still found the emotional to keep plodding through kdramas, it is really comforting to note that someone shared my sentiment about TMTYLM taking a stranglehold of the soul. I thought I was overreacting when I felt the same way cause it got so overwhelming at some point.

    Seems that “Tell Me That You Love Me” is one of those dramas that resets the bar in our expectations and responses. @mmmmm had commented on similar vibes.

    This drama requires reflection and time to explore and imbibe.
    It does hit the right notes.
