Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

Started ep 3 of Strangers. I was hoping our heroine would take the high road. Understand her not wanting this situation at her job, but not making it more entangled.

    I’m not sure I’m grasping the tone of this show. The music playing during the last scene made it seem like it was supposed to be funny? But I just felt bad for our FL. She is frustrating me because she is so reactive, but that doesn’t mean I’ll find her emotional pain funny.

      This story makes a good melo. It’s hard to get invested in a romcom where so many feelings are thrown around from the start.
      It would have made a good romcom had she moved on and is just acting out of spite rather than lingering feelings.

    Episode 3 made her the baddie and I disagreed with most of her actions. But to be fair, I think their two year separation wasn’t enough for Ha-ra to get over him. Seeing him at work is probably putting those emotions at the forefront again.

    This is why I disagree with perspective that your personal feelings must be seperate from your professional life, we are humans not robots and as humans we are filled with emotions.

    That said, I definitely do not condone most of her actions this episode, she has no business to ask Eun-bum about his personal life and have any say about who he can or cannot see. And as you said entangle herself further. Her foul play this episode was also awful when he tried to play fair.

    I know this is a rom com, so they have to stay close, but honestly for her mental health and sanity she should just quit her job or take a vacation at least

Part way through ep 4 of Crash Course and have to admit to being a little disappointed that it has some of the mom’s backstabbing. I’d rather see them come together to support each other.

    That went darker than expected. I want the happy back. I want more focus on the mother/daughter relationship and the joy they both were finding in each other’s happiness. Also, to focus on the romance and how having the ML open up a little was bringing small positive changes that were rippling outward.

    Such a waste of cast if the drama writer/director decides to continue with education-greedy moms

      I feel like they are going down this route, and the tone of it that I get isn’t going to go @beverly’s suggested way.

Winner has always flown under my radar but then I watched their Killing Voice episode. I now have I Love U on rotation.
Anybody have any Winner recs I should check out?

I like listening to podcast as I putter around the house and am just about to start this ep. Just thought it looked interesting, it\’s about consent in dramas. They start by saying it is not to shame anyone about what dramas they like, but just to take a closer look at some scenes. Anyway if anyone else like podcast eps about dramas:

Finishing up the 6th ep of Skate into Love and it is lovely so far. I remember some Beanies loving it when it aired. Then going to try the first ep of Attorney Woo before bed.

We knew it was coming but I can\’t express the horror that already the right to contraceptives, same sex intimacy, and same sex marriage is on the table to be overruled.

    Once this is in motion can they really promise that interracial marriage won’t be next?

Listening to the Vice podcast The Story of Tablo. On ep 3 and its really good. That whole conspiracy around his degree is still so wild.

The C drama The Oath of Love with Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan is finally available on Viki. I feel like a year at least that I\’ve been seeing on the coming soon list.

    I watched 3 eps but didn’t feel it. I’m tired of seeing ZT in a bratty silly borderline annoying girl role and XZ is better than I expected but still not believable as a doctor. I put it on pause for now.

When AKMU’s Next Episode came out I had come across a twitter statement saying that in S. Korea people were saying that Chan hyuk had GD disease.
I wasn’t exactly sure what was meant by this and now all this time later DKDK TV has done a video on it. It’s kind of fun to get a glimpse of what is viral or the pop culture moments in Korea sometimes.
This is such a good album too.

In Five Enough and hadn\’t quite warmed to the main couple. But the scene where the ML brings bikes to the FL so she can go for a night time bike ride with him to try and rid herself of her stress instead of drinking alone is very sweet. Also I like that the show has him supporting her through the after effects of a hard situation, not trying to save her from the situation.

Finished a binge of Reset and it was really fun. For the most part the narrative stayed tight and I wasn\’t spoiled so didn\’t know any of the twists and turns.
Another good Beanie rec.

Reset episode 8 was a ride. Wasn\’t expecting all of that.

    It was great. Unfortunately I was spoiled a little while watching a trailer. Beware of those while binge watching this amazing show.

When I read the What We\’re Watching post, I am always surprised at how many don\’t just drop shows.

    It’s so hard.
    Sometimes you think it can get better, sometimes you don’t like the story but you love a character/couple so you want to see what happens with them, sometimes you just invested too much time and energy so it feels unfair to dropped just like nothing… Etc. If I’m watching a bunch of shows is easier to drop one tho. Idk for other beanies, but those are my excuses. 😂

      That is all very true. I’ve definitely stuck with or ff through a drama to see a happy ending for an OTP.

I just saw Netflix in the US has Boss and Me. I remember how hard it seemed to find all the subbed eps when I watched it a few years ago.
