Beanie level: Eunuch in drag

Hey Beanies,
Any dramas as intense as A story of a Man aka A Man’s Story aka Slingshot?

Did you guys watch Less Than Evil?
Thrillers are right up my alley, but I remember some complaints about the drama which made me not watch it. But now everyone is praising it under BE’ comment section.

    I watched it. Thought it was ok, not great, but shows like that aren’t mostly my cup of tea, so…

    Lee Seol was the most impressive part of it.

    Beyond Evil now gives such a similar vibe it’s a bit of a turn-off.

    yup..liking it.. but there are obvious tropes

    I think acting will be the usp more than the script in this one

      Hmmm, Can’t watch a thriller for acting alone. It is my fav genre things but needs to be set up properly.

I have a controversial opinion to share.
‘I didn’t like Yeo Jin Goo’s acting in Beyond Devil’.
I have only seen him in school uniform roles where I loved him, but…

    that caused me to have difficulty in accepting him in his mature roles where he mostly looked like a freshman in Big clothes.
    And in Beyond Evil, he finally looked his age (well okay) and I was happy to enjoy him like that. But his acting felt off. I was wondering if it was my problem only since he is a very praised actor of his generation.

    Anyway, I am eating up every vibe and expressions Shin Ha Kyun is giving off. Maybe after 3/4 eps, I will be into Yeo jin goo too.

      There’s a big gap between SHK and YJG in terms of acting prowess – but hopefully a great learning exercise for the latter.

        There is a 23 year age gap between the two actors but I think YJG held his own quite nicely in the first two episodes of JTBC’s BEYOND EVIL.
        I loved the first two episodes.

    give the show 4-5 episodes, we will know which way it is going..

    YJG is normal.. i have seen him in circle and bits here and there (Del luna a few episodes).. maybe its me.. but haven’t been wowed by his acting yet.. he is good..but not different level awesome..

    on the contrary, i think this other guy from remember/ and that robot drama with chae soo bin.. he is quite versatile

      A suggestion. If you would like to see YSG display some real acting chops (at age 21) I can refer you to episodes 7 and 8 (in particular) of THE CROWNED CLOWN (2019) available on Viki (US). Outstanding work. That is one reason I am a fan of his. TCC was my first YJG drama.
      BEYOND EVIL is my second. I am so pleased BE is available subbed at ODK.

Did you guys watch Vincenzo trailer? It looked cringe to me. I mean the production is all superb but unless they go all out and embrace its ridiculousness, Idk how good it can be.

    Also Taecyeon with that perm!!
    I hope he turns all cunning and villainous in the first half itself once he realizes that his fav sunbae is into the gangster.

    I am still hopeful as I am a fan of this writer (Fiery Priest and Good Manager). Both of these shows embraced their hilarity so they were fun. I am getting the se vibes and I hope the leads are able to do justice.

      I have heard good things about both these dramas so hoping for the best.

    The only reason I want to give this a chance is because the cast is great and the writer really does do the whole “screw the man” premise really well. But ever since I heard the plot it’s sounded completely bonkers. As long as it’s not trying to hard to be super dark and edgy and it doesn’t get too into itself I think it could be fun.

Watching ‘In Time With You’ Thai version. Everyone said Thai was better but the old feeling of production always put me off. Also, I couldn’t understand how TW version is better than KR when +

    The story is just the same.
    Though I don’t remember the difference b/w this one and KR version. I can feel more warmth here and characters are so endearing too.
    Watching Li Da Ren always trying to protect and love her from the sideline is so heartbreaking. I wish he has someone to lean on too. Though their friendship is nice, it feels like mostly Li Da ren carries it on his shoulder. He is always giving so much. I know how it ends but I wish he and You Qing won’t end up together. Let her do what she wants with her bf and let Li Da Ren be finally able to let her go.

I am so sad Sixth Sense is ending next week. Next week it is Cha Tae-Hyun as the final guest. I wish they will keep this cast and do some other show atleast.

    It will be DAEBAKKKK if they can do a 1n2d or New Journey to the West kind of programs.

      1n2d will just mean they declaring war. With different channel and whatnot. Njttw on the other hand, could be an all girls spin off. Im so excited just thinking of it.🤩🤩

        Oh really? But it is a cable channel though. Anyway, I would love to have more of this cast in any format possible.

    Da Hyun and Jae-in are so cute. This is one drama I should download and keep it with me to serve me when I get into one of these moods.

    Wrist grabs are as cringe as ever but oh well, we know how it goes. 🤝

    Why don’t they make another drama with Ha SeokJin and Jeon Somin where they can bicker to our heart’s content?

    That key chain kiss is almost an adlib. The script said kiss after the date but the actors felt like a kiss won’t feel natural in their non-romantic stage and so when HSJ was circling the key and when it went behind his head, Somin’s and his eyes met and he just went for the peck.
    Ah, and the actors said they had almost no NG scenes for the kisses.

I want to watch a good crime thriller, or a thriller. OCN need to speed up their production and I hope they will forever stay faithful to their signature darkness.

    ‘Nobody Knows’ was so so good. When can I find something similar in quality again? Secret forest 2 and liar game 2 where are you guys????😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
    And what about you “Missing” where is the sequel?
    When I kinda took a break from kdramas I thought there will be a lot of them for me to watch but why its still so difficult to find them?

    I’m actually hoping that Team Bulldog isn’t dark.

        Just checked and you are right, it gives me some fun vibe.
        The poster reminds me of You are all surrounded.
        idk, crossing thriller. crime genres with comedy is a risky thing for me.

    Oh i see Cukur. Never watched the show but heard its music. I like Toygar Isikli’s music so I hear almost everything he produces even after I left watching Turkish dramas. But is it good? And more importantly is it available with english subs?

      Yup, Yup, It is good and it is available with eng subs. Currently in the second season. with the bromance, romance, guns, and fight it almost has a cult status.

        Oh great! Where can I find them with subs?

          Search it in the youtube. Almost all eps are available there. For the rest, search a group called Turkish Série Çukur English Subtitles in the FB.

The treasures I found recently. It was especially great to see the guys running around and jumping off the roofs in Cukur while these songs are playing. I wish somebody will make an MV of those scenes
