Beanie level: Errand boy

Currently I’m not watching any drama, but I’m thoroughly enjoying the fan wall reactions to Queen Of Tears!
Positive, negative or in-between!
And after 14 episodes of feeling it was just a crazy makjang, I think I finally confirmed it is indeed so, and I’m not making wrong assumptions!! And also confirming that it is definitely not for me ahaha!

P.S. the ever evolving epithets for Park Seunghoon’s character are a hoot!! 😂
P.P.S. why would he tease me with such a nice character in one drama (Gong 4ever!! 💗) just to play evil trash most of the other times 😭

    I like describing QoT as a show that brings back all the old tropes of kdramaland but in a refreshing way… So yes, it is a makjang. 😂
    Lately it is giving me major Innocent Man vibes. But it mostly reminds me of the weekender “My Husband Got a Family” (same writer).

    In an interview he said he liked good guy characters, but he receives more “love” for playing the bad guy, so…
    I guess we won’t see him as a good guy for a while.

    I didn’t watch it either, so my reactions to the commentary are very similar to yours 😊

    I hoped the reactions’d keep being positive and I would binge the show sometime later, but it has turned out not to be the case 😂

    Her pony tail / bun is cute too.
    It was such a *shock* to see KMJ as Gamjatang after Do You Like Brahms!! This drama was indeed all kinds of adorable. 😍😍😍

      His Moo-hak in DALI (2021) is my favorite Kim Min-jae performance. He did a 180 from being wrapped up tight in BRAHMS (2020) to letting it all hang out, bravado, flashy suits and all in DALI. Also recall in DALI that Hwang Bo-ra (as Moo-hak’s secretary) did a spot on Moo-hak imitation to his face one morning at breakfast. That was very funny.

        She was a very capable secretary and of course her imitation was the highlight, along with her perfect suits. 😂

Ok! I got it!! That’s enough messages! XD

Do you think it’s a me problem or DB? 🤔 (Not like it’s a big issue anyway..I just delete ahah)

    In case you didn’t know, You can always disable them. Under account settings -> notification settings you can disable all email notifications. Or keep it weekly.
    You will still see Notifications when you come to the site.

      Thanks a lot!!
      I assumed there was a way to disable them but I still like getting the messages for now hehe
      (I just don’t need multiples for the same notification ahahah)

    Is it multiple emails of same notification or a spam notification. Perhaps drop an email to db staff.

      Same notifications, just multiple messages at the same time.

      Thanks! I might try and send an email to db staff ^^

Just subscribed to Disney plus, specifically to watch FlexXCop and it\’s NOT AVAILABLE for me (yet?)!!!!! 🙃

I should have known better, tbh, I can never trust D+ in my country 🤦‍♀️

    At least Netflix has finally dropped the new J-drama Chae Jonghyeop is starring in!

      I do not 🥲
      Which makes me lose hope I’ll ever get FlexXCop.
      I thought maybe they’ll put it out later, once it ends…but that drama you’ve mentioned has ended for a couple months already and it’s still not available, so, very unlikely 😩

        Oh no…
        Can you use VPN and access those through Thailand Disney+? You already paid for it, but it just doesn’t have these ones in your region…

        1

          Vpn would be great, yeah!
          But the ones that are free usually don’t work, and I’m not about to pay for another subscription on top of the streaming one 🥲 (which would be even more expensive since there was a nice discount on D+ lol)
          But I’ll try my luck more ahah!
          Maybe I’ll manage to make it work at some point..thanks btw 😊

        I stopped using that button some time ago as I felt that it kind of gives beanies false hope in certain senses of the word “hope” 😅

          What I meant here is the “hope” that it would let us know how the fellow beanies we follow are doing.

There is something so special about Korean artists singing in Italian..I mean, suddenly I understand every single word they say?!
The way they\’re acing the pronunciation is very satisfying! 😄

Just started Doctor Cha…and why is Kim Mikyung playing Uhm Junghwa\’s mother when she\’s barely 6y older?! 😭
I got surprised when she first appeared, especially since I\’m currently watching her play (a much younger) Shin Haesun\’s mother in Welcome To Samdalri 😅

      Nope! It’s real!
      Jeju is pretty like that, I suppose 🥰

      I also just double checked via bts video (https://youtu.be/PckjL_tWpo0?si=UtAvwc9xnWL2Rahr) and it was just really good camera work and right filters, probably!

      I’ve seen sunset cgi before and it usually looks pretty terrible, tbh! 😅

      While in this case they had a lot of shots with that sky/setting, from different angles and it looked really pretty in all of them!

      Also fun fact, it seems like they happened to sight dolphin while shooting this scene!!
      It reminds me of the Jeju episodes of EAW where they sadly couldn’t, poor atty Woo! 😅

Round-Up 2023 – Day 31 – END

It\’s already 2024 but I\’m writing one last round-up post, to wrap 2023.
My watched dramas up to the last day of December, posters version.
Dramas 2023

To this I add a few rewatches of dramas I had previously enjoyed:
– The Day Of Becoming You
– Go Ahead
– Love All Play

In total, compared to 2022, I watched about half the number of dramas, totally expected considering how in the middle of the year I barely watched anything!! But I made up for it in November/December! 🤣

Now I\’m currently watching a couple of show that\’ll count for 2024, though:
– Welcome To Samdalri
– Gyeongseong Creature

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! ✨🥰🎉

Round-Up 2023 – Day 22
Best Cameo

I don’t pay much attention to cameos usually, but it was a nice surprise to see Chae Jonghyeop appear in See You In My 19th life! Him and his pretty smile 😊

Round-Up 2023 – Day 21
The OST I’m obsessed with

The entire Castaway Diva soundtrack, hands down!
From the songs sung by Park Eunbin herself, the ones from the other artists and also the instrumentals that played through the drama! They’re all so good!! 💙
I have multiple favorites and they also change every day, it’s hard for me to pick! XD
I especially love Open Your Eyes sang by Park Eunbin cause the episode it appeared in is my favorite 🥺
And also I really like Night and Day by Jung Seunghwang!

Daily dose of sunshine episode 4: is it just me or the way they dealt with the case was kinda absurd?! Patient with delusions thought the nurse stole her money and kept physically and verbally assaulting her any chance she had, while the staff did basically nothing?!
The patient is sick and has no choice, but that doesn’t mean that the nurse should just be expected to endure the harassment!! A pat on the back and everything’s fine..oh you can go hide in this tiny storage room for a bit.
And also one doctor joking about it, oh you’ll have to wait for the meds to work, about a month or so, or maybe you can pay her back so she stops pestering you..hehe..so funny (not)
It’s weird because it’s not as if they made it look like a fault in the system, a management problem or something like that.
I don’t wanna sound naive, I know real life can be even worse, and I am also not an expert; but for a drama that is trying to be realistic and grounded this episode kept making me roll my eyes lol!

Round-Up 2023 – Day 19
Best used trope / Best subverted trope.

I loved the childhood connection, friends to lovers type of thing they did in Castaway Diva!!
It was a very fairytale like take, definitely not the most realistic portrayal, but so wholesome and heartwarming!!
My Mokgeolli went through so much they deserve all the best things!! 🥰

Round-Up 2023 – Day 16 & Day 17
Guilty pleasure & Oldie (non 2023) I loved the most.

My favorite oldie this year goes to Extraordinary Attorney Woo!
EAW WYW

I have this habit of ignoring super popular dramas, no matter how good of a reception they get (I don’t like feeling pressured to watch, basically ahah). Same thing happened with EAW last year; I was also quite skeptical tbh, so I never gave it a chance despite the positive reviews.

But finally this year I did, after Castaway Diva made me crave for more Park Eunbin on my screen. And in the end I really enjoyed it!!
I\’m not really a big fan of law dramas and I found most cases a tad boring; but there is something about how the characters are written that still made the drama a really entertaining viewing experience for me. PEB is such a pleasure to watch!! ^^
EAW group
~

Now for the guilty pleasure part…this guy, EAW attorney Kwon Minwoo 🙈
EAW KMW

I’m really not the type to like the bad boy or the villain of a story, I’m usually immune ahah!
But for some reason I find myself liking this guy! Why??? He’s such a jerk! Not always, but enough that I should find him unlikable (no matter what his reasons are)! And yet here I am! So yeah, I’m guilty! xD

I think maybe it’s the styling, or just the actor doing a good job with the character…or I don’t know!! lol
Choi Sooyeon’s reaction is me:
EAW SY MW

And while I\’m at it, can I nominate him for Day 18 entry as favorite villain?? Does it count..😂

Round-Up 2023 – Day 15
Special Kimchi slap edition: worst parent.

Evil bio dad in CASTAWAY DIVA is the worst hands down!! I don’t think a kimchi slap is enough. But at least the show already dealt with him, so there\’s that!

The actor did such a good job though, even in behind clips he makes me kinda uncomfortable 😅

    He’s an amazingly good actor. Watching him as the picture perfect dad in Nam-soon airing simultaneously gave serious whiplash.

Best bromance/womance.

I\’ll go with CASTAWAY DIVA Bogeol and Woohak: Kang bros aka now Lee bros aka used to be Jung bros (that\’s a whole lot of names for a single drama ahah)
To be honest they only make the cut for me because they\’re actual brothers! XD
But I loved the cute interaction they had during the last episode 😊
