I don’t really have a bucket list for places. It’s more about I saw a reportage or something about a place or an activity and I kept in the back of my mind.

Tell me if you need help for the Swiss moutain!

Oooh this is exciting! Hope you manifest these into real trips soon 🤞

I love making bucket lists for travel and I have no sense of filter so it’s a little too long, but the ones at the top of my list are visiting Japan during cherry blossom season and seeing the Great Geysir in Iceland (also catching a viewing of the northern lights while I’m there!). I was lucky enough to go to South Korea not long ago, so ticked off a lot of the little bucket list items whilst I was there, including spending Christmas & New Years in Busan, but honestly the list of places to visit is endless and sometimes only grows bigger when you get to a country and do some exploring!

Paris in April has been on my bucket list for years. It’s the month my partner and myself got together, many many moons ago, to this specific song too!

We still haven’t done it. Reason being I absolutely fucking hate Paris. Couldn’t loathe it more. I also find much more interesting places to go to. But anyway, for reasons of the heart, this still has a place on the bucket list.

OMG, yes I’m with you for the women bowl in Japan. Still haven’t been! So far, so expensive, so much to achieve before I can allow myself to go.

I’d add having a subway sandwich in South Korea, just to pretend I am filming my very own K-drama. I’m still learning Korean, so I’ll wait until I feel a little more confident.

A road trip around Iceland. This just fell through before of the pandemic and I have never gone back to planning it.

Another road trip through the Netherlands and Belgium. Despite having lived so closed by for many many years, I didn’t even go once.

Berlin. I am ashamed to say I spent 8 years in Germany and did not go once to Berlin. I was too busy trying to make sense of life away from home to visit.

Whatever is left from the apple tree forrest in Kazakstan. Just haven’t gone yet before life kept throwing more important things in the way.

Skara Brae, Scottish prehistoric village, and Orkney for the same reasons. I want to walk through the past.

And also, he (the killer) is definitely still around somewhere and it makes me uneasy. No one is safe yet. And could adult Imsol end up paralyzed in this new timeline later?

I just don’t want them to go back in time anymore. She remembers him he remembers her. I don’t want anything to change!!!!!

Somehow a serial killer has become an acceptable trope for introducing angst and separation anxiety in a rom-com. I agree an exploration of Sun-Jae-19 would have been more interesting.

Du Shik asks the same to Baek Du in one episode😂

Haha i was just thinking that yesterday as i watched ep 5 when He dragged her somewhere across the village to have a conversation..

So funny! I hadn’t noticed either, but it seems like a testament to his simple and sweet nature.

So … do you think you sincerely remembering JB and GF conjured JB to Beaniedom! 😊♥️

Hong-ran really pushed Ha-Neul into deeper despair. Hong-Ran seems insensitive to others in most of her scenes. Hong-Ran & Ha-Neul probably became friends just because of their medical “nerdiness,” because they don’t seem like “kindred spirits.”

Ha-Neul lacks emotional intelligence because she is portrayed as constantly missing emotional cues, resulting in her becoming a doormat, rather than an emotional force to be reckoned with. I hope she can learn to be more open and accept the love and support that Jeong-Woo wants to give to her. Her character is more innocent and teen-like than Jeong-Woo. I hope to see more growth and maturity in her character.

ML should have never divulged his reason.. the fact he said that meant and shows he is thinking internally

of a sacrifice being made for her gf.. there is an implicit expectation built in..

Maybe after the misunderstanding of his “vicious rejection” is cleared and she sees how good they are for each other her tune will change.

Exactly! Last night’s episode with her taunting the FL made me write a whole rant in my head, but then I figured you guys have heard me complaining enough already. The so-called best friend who teases hurtfully, whines, shrieks, fails to read her friend’s mood, badmouths the ML, or urges the FL to stay away from him for stupid reasons is such a tired cliché. It’s been a sour note in a lot of otherwise sweet shows.

Agree. She really knows how to grate on her “friend.” Is she a clue-less nerd or an insensitive person?

Keep watching!

I don’t speak Korean (very well at all), so other Beanies with more knowledge can come along and correct me in a bit. But my understanding of this is that the “we” is implying a closeness, almost like family. I think about it in a similar way to someone in Korea using “our” where I would use “my”, as in “our mom” or “our house” even if they are the only person living there, or an only child. It sort of connotes a single unit, a collective made up of you and the people closest to you (your family), so when someone uses it in reference to another person it can mean that they consider themselves to be in the same unit or collective group as the other person. But at the end of the day it’s also just a plural pronoun, so inevitably the meaning gets misinterpreted in dramas. I would love to know if this is a thing people get miffed at in real life!

Yea, it’s all starting to come flooding in, the criticisms

It was hard to read this. Really hard. It felt suffocating and helpless just to read this.
But the life is gone. Damage is done. The family is suffering.

This is tragic.

It’s just so sad.

I truly do not understand why being blind drunk on alcohol is okay, but drug use is the ultimate sin. I don’t get it.

I so wish that kindness and respect could have been extended to him IRL.

Many a times we may miss the indications that the universe gives us as we are too “busy”. It always reminds me of Dumbledore saying Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.

Awww that’s so sweet!!
It’s odd, isn’t it? TV ads and society tells us that the holidays–and the days spent prepping for them– is a time of giving, of kindness, of all things good. Yet, more often than not, the holidays will be anything BUT those things depending on our own situations, things that are currently happening– or have happened which we have no control over– and at the end of the day, the holidays don’t feel like the holidays anymore, and definitely don’t feel like anything society tells us it is.

Personally, all of the things we are told by tv ads and society are simply that: Things which we are TOLD and which society dictates the holidays “should be”, but are not necessarily–and definitely not always– what we actually feel nor think.
But to your point, small moments like these DO make a difference and is what I think we need more of, not all of the stuff we are told how the holidays should be. Even then, I think small moments like these are what we need more of daily and regularly, not just during the holidays

You and I are on the same page, Beverly.

Ah good to know! It’s caught my eye, but I haven’t gotten around to watch it yet

Beautifully expressed. 👏

“louche & ridiculous” perfectly describes Song Kang any day of the week.

It is so much fun.
On the surface it reads like a typical chaebol makjang setup.
It’s makjang without the screeching or cringe OTT plot.
We’ve been treated to a slew of standard drama tropes presented in a warm, lovely fashion .
The cast, writer and PD are putting the right touch to it.
Special shout out to the costume/wardrobe crew , the ladies rock the wardrobes.

“Satisfying” indeed. Also the plot doesn’t linger on or stretch to hair pulling lengths. The “issues” and “slaps” are swiftly dealt with.

if they really want to make “magically appeared” boyfriend, they should just throw some cameo by a model actor or smth. And not this joke of a plot. Attorney Woo works because SHE is the one who fall in love and he reciprocates. not the otherway around.

Seriously. I hate it.

The onscreen and offscreen responses, very unfortunately and disappointingly, mirror each other in many ways. I am not too sure if the writer had JDY in mind when writing her character to get the message across.

I recall an older drama Oh My Lady with Chae Rim and Choi Simon – similar plot in a way but didn’t have the same response.

It’s really sad, but considering how Korean society revolves around the idea of beauty, the fact that a woman doesn’t spend all her time taking care of her looks just makes her ugly, even if she is JDY (I wish I were as ugly as she is). So the fact that she doesn’t wear fashionable clothes (although I love her looks) or that her hair is not arranged is enough to consider her ugly. Also the fact that she is a working mum in something very un glamorous like cooking for a living.

I’ve dropped it, so I have so idea what’s going on. But my hopeful endgame is between Ha-ra and Jae-gyeom 🙂
I fast forwarded to their scenes, and yeah while Ha-ra doesn’t love Jae-gyeom she still finds him attractive and someone she can talk to. Maybe I’m too old to think that the heart ponding love is what true love is. For me love means that I’m comfortable with someone and I can rely on them. Eun-beom lied to her twice so yeah I hope they don’t don’t get back together. But that’s just my opinion
