Beanie level: Chaebol’s poor doppelganger

Kidnapping Day – Finale
What a fantastic performance! That small smile in the courtroom, the smile to straight up bawling, and Rohee being Rohee to remembering Myeongjun’s words and reintroducing herself. I’m definitely going to look forward to future works of Yuna.

    Love her court scene but the re-introduction of herself in the school takes the cake!

    Hope she will be rewarded with roles worth her talent.

Kidnapping Day – One interesting thing I noticed in ep 11 was when Hye-eun noticed Myeongjun, her saying his name sounded so… innocent? It was a bit surprising. Ep 12’s teaser confirmed this for me too. She feels more like a child that never grew up and needs everything to work for her. A narcissist for sure, but a weirdly child-like narcissist?

Kidnapping Day – I’m so glad they emphasize Rohee’s true child self in this episode. Look at that smile! Myeongjun may not be the brightest but knows how to open up the most hardened heart! Cried so much in this episode but every tear was worth it.

Came back to DB for My Dearest and episode 11 thankfully didn’t disappoint. No spoilers, but just came on to say… NGM does the longing and heartache so well. Like how do you make my heart ache with you????

    I really loved the fact that in the broadcasted episode 5, YoungWoo surprises JunHo again and threw away his gift unlike a typical kdrama FL, and I concur with the Korean viewers who commented in the youtube link that this scene was probably cut because it would’ve distracted from the flow of episode 5 and make YoungWoo a liar.

    @acacia: This is delightful and should have been included instead of having to see one more scene with that toxic little shit, Minwoo.

Day 12 – The “oldie” (not 2020) you loved the most.

I’m not much of a rewatcher but Sassy Girl Chun Hyang is an exception and the drama that got me hooked onto kdramas.

This was the first kdrama I watched where the FL wasn’t a stereotypical Candy! There is a bit of noble idiocy but for 2005 it made sense. An added bonus is that it gave us awesome OSTs. Everyone may have heard of the song Emergency Room (re:Hospital Playlist) but my favorite was their opening song, JaYooRoWa or I’m Free.

I was going to say Gaho’s Start from Itaewon Class BUT thankfully I am doing some catching up with the Roundup and watched Mr Queen in the meantime! Bong Hwan A is a BOP!

    I’m not watching the show, but I heard Bong Hwan A for the first time two days ago, late at night, and I was instantly jolted awake. What an awesome number! I’m going to remember this one for a while!

Day 21 – The Puppy of 2020

This year’s puppy for me is hands down Ahn JiHo as Go EunHo. The soft spoken, strong willed, loyal, and adorable character that was one of the few bright spots of Nobody Knows that was perhaps too perfect of a character. His other puppy friends were an added bonus! Yoon ChanYoung was my favorite child actor after Yeo JinGoo and Yoon JaeYoung is a new face that I’ll look out for. I would adopt them as my younger brothers any day!! Looking forward to seeing them grow into great actors!

    Hear hear re Ahn Ji Ho! Yoon ChanYoung was also excellent, and the way the overall relationship between the boys evolved was beautifully shown. Besides casting very talented youngsters, I think huge credit must go to the PD for extracting such fine performances from the kids, which is always such a difficult task.

Since there’s no Day 21 set up for #2020Roundup, I propose Day 21 to be The Puppy of 2020! I feel like last year’s puppy was hands down Lee JaeWook as Seol JiHwan so let’s post up the puppies of this year! *Totally recommending this because I need to get my puppy out there on DB 😉*

Day 20 – That cameo that blew up your mind.

There were a lot of hot topic cameos this year, but my favorite is Lee Kyu Hyung/Yoon SeWon in Forest of Secrets 2. The Ep 16 scene where Han YeoJin goes to him after hearing about HwangShiMok’s dream was so touching. Stay alive Yoon SeWon!

Day 19 – Most memorable scene.

Jangwoo: You may think that my life is frustrating. You could think that it’s not anything special. But you see, I call that mundane life, “happiness”.
Eunshil: What?
JangWoo: Maybe some SNU graduates dream of exploring outer space. But to me… Sure I’m a SNU graduate, but I want to build and live my life doing so-called normal things every day. That’s my dream. Working hard and living an ordinary life makes me happy. I know that about myself.
Eunshil: You should have written that in your letter.
JangWoo: What?
EunShil: Instead of writing about getting beat up, “I know what makes me happy” Had you written that, I might have liked you more.
JangWoo: Do you think… is that cool?
EunShil: Yes. Not many people know what truly makes them happy.

This scene spoke to me more than any other extravagant scene I’ve watched this year. JangWoo explaining his happiness and EunShil recognizing that specialness of JangWoo’s happiness. How many people know what truly makes them happy? And how many people can chase that without being swayed by other people’s opinions of what happiness should look like?

My ordinary life is happiness for me.

And yes JangWoo… you’re pretty cool.

    This scene was precious, and we could understand better why our favourite unicorn was that cheerful, happy and willing to help others. He just wanted an ordinary life to make ordinary people happier… if only all of us would fight for that!

    Thank you for sharing this!

    “I want to build and live my life doing so-called normal things every day. That’s my dream. Working hard and living an ordinary life makes me happy.” is one of my favourite lines of dialogue.😊 It made me feel…more ok about myself. It also reminded me a bit of the conversation about ambition in My Unfamiliar Family, but that one had a different flavour and went another direction.

Day 6 – The drama you know you will rewatch

Forest of Secrets 2
I have to admit, I stuck through the first half of season 2 because I trusted this writer, but that didn’t stop me from my wandering eyes from time to time *forgive me*. I want to rewatch this one a couple more times to see all the details I missed out on and admire the drama in all its beauty.

Sorry I wasn’t the best drama watcher the first time around! I promise I’ll be a better one on the rewatches! See you soon!

Day 5 – The drama you finished just for the bean.

Record of Youth

Weird dialogue that wanted to seem quick witted and funny. It was ok at first but it felt like “fake dialogue,” people were talking to each other but not like how people really talk. My sister liked Bogummy too much to care so I finished with her for the bean 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I liked it a lot, couldn’t totally love it because of that plot twist I hated and wasn’t needed. And over all I loved the visuals of the first six episodes.

    I loved IOTNBO but I also felt that the second half was not as strong as the earlier episodes. That plot twist with the mom was a bit of a letdown, plus the somewhat *softenining* of Moonyoung’s character. It is still a good and solid drama that could have been better.

Day 3 – That PPL a drama feels empty without.

It’s not exactly PPL but it might as well be because I get a craving every time ramen shows up in a drama.

The most bada** competent cop leader with the heart of gold. She is a true role model for the puppies that follow her and for all the viewers that adore her.
