Okay so I tried to not to fall into the trap until I had finished my exams to start watching My Father is Strange. OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! Lee Yoo Ri is killing it I have to say. I think I am in love
Okay sooooo am I the only one who wishes the hashtags were clickable? Sometimes I like to look at the posts on just one drama instead of others and our beanies are so funny! I just wanna sometimes XD
Okay also I am just gonna fangirl for a little bit here. I have only been following this group for 2 years but we just got our fandom name! And it is My Day! Omg it is so cute I can not deal!!
I do enjoy their music!
But I am always careful with these things like entering fandom and such, because I don’t do things casually. When I am in, I am in. And I’ll do it properly. And right now, I have my hands full with Got7. But wait a few weeks, I bet I’ll stan them like there’s no tomorrow. 🙂
Haha for me it is BTS, Got7 and Day6 and a proud fandom member for all of them~ I also side stan BigBang and Shinee they are all so cute that I cannot help but fall in lvoe with them. I kinda cry over how many groups I love… I can’t really deal.
I do admit though I want a really good GIRL group to stan. I loved 4Minute and Sistar but now they both are gone! *cries* I can still enjoy their music and such but I cry still on the inside.
Hah! I didn’t mention that I am a proud Exo-L… Even if Got7 has been keeping me busy.
I do not listen to BigBang, but I really love their “Loser”. And after seeing Key in Lookout, I promised him to check Shinee out. I side stan only BtoB, their music is good and they write it themselves. 🙂
For me, I am quite new to k-pop (like two months), so I didn’t get to check out girl groups just yet. 😛 But I am slowly getting there.
About Sistar and 4Minute, I feel your pain. (At least I think so.) But hey, so many groups came back together. Stay strong!
And by the way, congratulations on the Top Social Artist award at BBMAs!
Aaaah thank you~!! I have been following them since their debut so it was such an amazing moment >///<
But omg yes BTOB! How in the world did I forget them!??! I sometimes forget that I stan them to be honest… It took me a while to realise that they made up most of my fav songs in my playlist ^^:;
Aaaah aaaw you are a newbie!! Wow yeah I have been in this world for four nearly five years~ So hahah yeah I have fallen in love with many and fallen out of love with many groups~ Got7 and BTS and the other two groups I mentioned are really my long running groups.
In terms of girl groups I think if I had to choose some favs it would be GFriend and EXID that are still active. I honestly loved IOI as well but that group was only there for a year and then they split sadly
Wow, to follow a group since their debut, that is quite a something.
And honestly, I think your fandom name is really cool – ARMY. And I’m happy we both stan Got7!
Thanks for the recommendations, I shall add them to my to-listen-to list. 🙂
What is everyone obsessed over with the new dramas? Personally I am in love with Lookout, Circle, Suspicious Partner and also Seven Day Queen. What about everyone else?
I think my busy working life plays a part (not that I’m just got employed recently – working for very long time already) but maybe my energy level has been low lately….plus a colleague left recently and now I have to kinda do two-persons’ job duties cos boss said they aren’t getting new staff for my dept :((
I am really really just starting like this moment half way through ep 1 and not quite pulled in I am sure I will get more invested with the time travel plot.
I’ve tried Duel but it is boring for the 1st two epi for me….
Circle is not bad and it is mind-blowing, planning to maybe resume watching it when I’m free-er…
and I’ve tried My Sassy Gal but doesn’t like it…don’t like Fight My Way either, both are rom-com but I don’t find them funny…and I’m a person who don’t really enjoy sageuks (historical kdramas), so all the rest of the newly sagueks are out ….
I was just taking a look at my number of comments and likes~ I only need 4 more thumbs up to reach 1000 thumbs up~!! And with another 8 (now seven) comments I will reach 500! WOOOO!!!
Kwaiting !! Btw, how do we know the criteria for each beanie level, e.g. Noble idiot’s is like reaching how many likes/comments, what’s the next beanie stage and how many likes/comments to achieve that next stage ?? ?
I have no idea! I know we get particular levels of points depending on what action but they haven’t disclosed to us beanies yet… I have no idea though what point levels you have to get to be a particular levels.
Seriously Lookout is my new drug for kdramas. I just love the characters and their interactions and they are just sooo cute!! I am a romance drama person but gosh this is good!
Okay I was not ready for the feels of her backstory I think i cried a bucket of tears. I am not ready for our last musketeer’s backstory… If these two have backstories like this I can’t think of his
Although i do admit that Dong Man is starting to act just a little too childish for me….. He should learn to listen to others more.., But hopefully the latest incident should be a wake up call for him.
Holy moly circle has thrown me into a loop! Literally everything I had speculated was wrong all though some speculations seem to be coming through… The twists from these episodes are real though!
Okay so I totally got which twin Joon Hyuk was wrong. I legit thought it was Woo Jin but lol I guess not! I do love the twist though and the last scene was heart wrenching. But now I am worried that the chairman might be Woo Jin or he might have somehow turned evil in this new universe… Although I have to admit I am glad that Bum Gyun has supporters and seems like even Bluebird is someone who supports him.
Her shock though when she found out who he was, made the scene feel like she was watching it with me XD I legit said nearly the same words as her before they should her staring at the screen wide eyed and I legit found my mind running in circles.
So what happened to Woo Jin? How did they find Bum Gyun? What about our alien girl Jung Yeon what happened to her? What is going on? Why is this show pulling me in all these circles?
The fact that Erro seems to be towards the darker side I have to admit saddened me a bit I found myself loving their bickering scenes and the way that they slightly grew upon one another. But the fact that he is scared of what he had found and he didn’t want to have anything threaten that is understandable. I do love how they showed his memories and the way they played the scene out as his whole world collapsed around him. The adorable scene with his girlfriend, finding out she passed away and then realising that he was WEARING THAT SAME FUCKING TIE!!! All those moments killed me, but the moment he put the tie away and stopped wearing was the killer part. It showed how he really didn’t want to remember his past and the fact he went to Deputy Chief Lee to ask him to suppress his memories just cemented that fact.
Although we know that Deputy Chief Lee is one of the”bad guys” (most likely, I mean you never know if the show pulls a fast one on us) and the chairman as well. What I do love was the Mayor’s decision to keep going with the investigation to keep working through and figure out what the hell is going on. Cause imagine if even the mayor was not wanting to do anything. Jeepers no one would get anywhere while trying to investigate.
Can we also just take a moment to appreciate how the show keeps throwing curve balls at us about Jung Yeon’s actual identity is? the fact that she doesn’t remember and the teeth marks on her dad’s(?) arm show that there is something going on. the only thing we dont know is where her loyalties lie. For me I feel like she is genuinely trying to help out personally all of her actions have shown that and personally even there are a couple of things that make it a bit odd there was nothing I could hold against her.
But I love how the story is moving and the relationships are starting to be created and broken over and over again. Thank you TVN I sincerely thank you.
I just caught up with epi 3 and 4 and I love it more than the earlier epi. Is the gal really the same alien? Her memories seems to be stolen as well just like many others in this show. Joon Hyuk in 2037 is the same as the lead gal in 2017 as both do not have memories of their younger years.
It does seem like she has managed to become a totally different personality but I am assuming this was because of the memory loss and she spent time with people “her age” and became the being she is now.
Okay I saw this comment in an article and it wanted to spread the hashtag #PRAYFORWOOBIN on all social media platforms especially twitter obviously~ Let’s show him our support Beanies~!!
But seriously wow… these episode have been amazing~ I am wanting an adorable bromance between Erro and his Hyung now (Can we just talk about how he calls him Hyung?? XD) And I have to admit I am very confused with this alien… Who is that girl and what is she doing?? Like it seems like she has several secrets but I do notice this timeline with these two episodes and I honestly wouldn’t mind it continue for a while longer.
It starts off as they are kids, and omg in this episode did it look like she was beckoning the car to come over?? I probably wasn’t the only one who thought that.
Personally I dont have much to say on this episode though that I didnt say on the first episode so you guys can read that if you wanna XD
I am a little confused from the flashbacks that were shown during that bathroom scene it almost looked like he was one of the twins. Which did give a weird thought.
Also the Chairman… It was a bit weird to see him holding an “old” phone which had the image of the twins on it… It almost looked like the phone that they took a photo on during that time they went to go have chicken together.
That is what I was thinking but at the same time the answer for the chairman sounds waaay too straight forward for such complex series… but maybe the simple answer is the best to go with
I have to admit the later half did interest and engage me much more than the fist half…. Maybe it was the dystopia that really got me but I honestly watched this without really thinking too much into it. I didn’t read much of the promo and I really only knew that this had aliens in it so when it did the time jump it honestly threw me for a loop because I didn’t know we were going to be engaging with two different time lines. But I am honestly really excited~! I love the way they have brought the characters in and we really got to see into the twins minds.
But I am slightly confused… the subs said “Find your siblings” or something along the lines of that but… I didn’t know that they had someone other than just the two of them?? There was a secret third sibling!?!? I feel like if I had actually dug around to find out what the premise for this show was actually about, most of this premier wouldn’t have shaken me up like a washing machine. I honestly am really excited to see where this will go and what will happen with the twins and also with our special Smart City helper…
I kinda want him to fall into the Normal City side rather than staying with the Smart City. TEAR OUT THAT CHIP AND BREAK FREEEEEEEE~!! But I also feel like it would be equally as satisfying to see him turn to the dark side. But of course that will be very careful planning of his character development to both of these endings (or beginnings).
But I see TVN and I watch so I am sure they will do whatever they plan to do amazingly.
I was kind of confused about the siblings as well. But Detective Hong did say 형제, which is usually plural (I think). So, either Kim Joonhyuk is Kim Woojin, or their dad had another child after he left the twins with their grandmother.
I was equally intrigued by both timelines – I loved seeing the character interaction between Kim Woojin and Kim Bumgyoon.
I thought it was really interesting that when they first encountered the alien as children, it was Bumgyoon who was sceptical and gave very scientific excuses, and Woojin who whole-heartedly believed that he had seen the aliens, but as adults, it was the opposite. Woojin saw everything in a very logical and scientific manner, and Bumgyoon who had reverted to a child-like state of believing in everything. Both actors did a great job portraying their respective characters.
I want Lee Hosoo to fall on the Normal Earth side as well, but like you said, it would be really satisfying to see him turn dark. He has shown glimpses of emotion, so it’s not like he’s completely emotionless, but at the same time, living in that environment, where everything the government says is right is can so easily turn him to the dark side if he doesn’t want to see his perfect world falling apart around him.
What’s also interesting is that Circle has quite a few writers. The original idea was thought up by the writers of Six Flying Dragons and Tree with Deep Roots, but the scriptwriters are slightly lesser known writers (mostly from drama specials). I’m excited to see how these writers blend in their worlds to create a great package.
Omg yes (About the clothing resemblance)!!! I thought that as well! But it doesn’t seem like he has any goodness in him at all this time round. Seems like he is playing an evil through and through which I am honestly really excited to see more of his character~!
But yes the interactions between the brothers was beyond adorable and I couldn’t get enough of their childlike scawbling tackling one another and teasing one another. I honestly though I had made a mistake with which character had which child counterpart at the start before I did manage to reason with myself over which one was wearing glasses and which wasn’t.
And yes I feel the same over Lee Hosoo. I have to admit one of the scenes that stood out to me was when he said “I have never lied.” He honestly meant I believe and the character is so deep rooted within the Smart City system it would be hard for him to change around. Also that moment with where the green light turned red… I wonder what happens if their light stays red for a long time? there must be something…. Maybe they get shocked into fainting or maybe it cuts something in their brain or I dunno… I am just running theories here but I am not sure if I like any of them.
I don\’t know if any of you guys know but there was a bombing at Ariana Grande\’s concert in UK. It was basically all younger kids at the concert and there has ben a confirmed 20 dead and 50 + injured.
I send all my love and prays to those that were affected and to the families who were affected by this tragedy. According tot he news articles I have read apparently the bomber was killed during the the time the explosives went off.
I can’t even imagine how scary it would be for that to happen to experience that. So please my fellow beanies. When going out at night or going to concerts please please please stick with someone. And if you see anyone suspicious please tell authorities.
Again I send my love to the families that were affected.
Just listened to the statement made by the British PM. So affected by it. Kudos to those ordinary folks who risked themselves to help and to all the emergency rescuers, medics and crew.
Just finished Tunnel! Gosh wow that ending wasn’t exactly what I had imagined but I did love it. It tied (nearly) all the knots nicely and gave us a hopeful future to look onto…
Ikr? It’s not the ending I thought I need, but it actually left me deeply satisfied. That small glimpse to their happier past was such a hopeful scene.

But I love how the story is moving and the relationships are starting to be created and broken over and over again. Thank you TVN I sincerely thank you.

I just caught up with epi 3 and 4 and I love it more than the earlier epi. Is the gal really the same alien? Her memories seems to be stolen as well just like many others in this show. Joon Hyuk in 2037 is the same as the lead gal in 2017 as both do not have memories of their younger years.
etrenelle
June 8, 2017 at 7:25 PM
It does seem like she has managed to become a totally different personality but I am assuming this was because of the memory loss and she spent time with people “her age” and became the being she is now.

Okay yeah I am totally screwed over by Circle. Their premier episodes were amazing and I can not deal with all of these little hints!!

But seriously wow… these episode have been amazing~ I am wanting an adorable bromance between Erro and his Hyung now (Can we just talk about how he calls him Hyung?? XD) And I have to admit I am very confused with this alien… Who is that girl and what is she doing?? Like it seems like she has several secrets but I do notice this timeline with these two episodes and I honestly wouldn’t mind it continue for a while longer.
It starts off as they are kids, and omg in this episode did it look like she was beckoning the car to come over?? I probably wasn’t the only one who thought that.
Personally I dont have much to say on this episode though that I didnt say on the first episode so you guys can read that if you wanna XD

I thought so too. It definitely looked like she ‘compelled’ the driver to crash into the store.
Loving Erro x Hyung relationship.
Until the end of the episode, I thought the ‘Chairman’ might’ve been ‘Chairwoman’ Han Jungyeon, but those are masculine looking hands in the glove.

Also, I knew it that Joonhyuk had to have been part of Smart Earth at one point. That bathroom scene was more than gratuity.
etrenelle

I am a little confused from the flashbacks that were shown during that bathroom scene it almost looked like he was one of the twins. Which did give a weird thought.
Also the Chairman… It was a bit weird to see him holding an “old” phone which had the image of the twins on it… It almost looked like the phone that they took a photo on during that time they went to go have chicken together.

May 24, 2017 at 12:32 AM
Joonhyuk is definitely Woojin I think. The chairman of Human B is either Bumgyoon as a puppet for the alien, or the alien/Han Jungyeon herself.
etrenelle
May 24, 2017 at 12:45 AM
That is what I was thinking but at the same time the answer for the chairman sounds waaay too straight forward for such complex series… but maybe the simple answer is the best to go with

Not if how Bumgyoon became the chairman is well told.

Well Circle threw me for a loop…. I am not one for alien movies or dramas but this one has got me hook line and sinker.
etrenelle
May 23, 2017 at 4:16 AM
I have to admit the later half did interest and engage me much more than the fist half…. Maybe it was the dystopia that really got me but I honestly watched this without really thinking too much into it. I didn’t read much of the promo and I really only knew that this had aliens in it so when it did the time jump it honestly threw me for a loop because I didn’t know we were going to be engaging with two different time lines. But I am honestly really excited~! I love the way they have brought the characters in and we really got to see into the twins minds.
But I am slightly confused… the subs said “Find your siblings” or something along the lines of that but… I didn’t know that they had someone other than just the two of them?? There was a secret third sibling!?!? I feel like if I had actually dug around to find out what the premise for this show was actually about, most of this premier wouldn’t have shaken me up like a washing machine. I honestly am really excited to see where this will go and what will happen with the twins and also with our special Smart City helper…
I kinda want him to fall into the Normal City side rather than staying with the Smart City. TEAR OUT THAT CHIP AND BREAK FREEEEEEEE~!! But I also feel like it would be equally as satisfying to see him turn to the dark side. But of course that will be very careful planning of his character development to both of these endings (or beginnings).
But I see TVN and I watch so I am sure they will do whatever they plan to do amazingly.

I was kind of confused about the siblings as well. But Detective Hong did say 형제, which is usually plural (I think). So, either Kim Joonhyuk is Kim Woojin, or their dad had another child after he left the twins with their grandmother.
I was equally intrigued by both timelines – I loved seeing the character interaction between Kim Woojin and Kim Bumgyoon.
I thought it was really interesting that when they first encountered the alien as children, it was Bumgyoon who was sceptical and gave very scientific excuses, and Woojin who whole-heartedly believed that he had seen the aliens, but as adults, it was the opposite. Woojin saw everything in a very logical and scientific manner, and Bumgyoon who had reverted to a child-like state of believing in everything. Both actors did a great job portraying their respective characters.
I want Lee Hosoo to fall on the Normal Earth side as well, but like you said, it would be really satisfying to see him turn dark. He has shown glimpses of emotion, so it’s not like he’s completely emotionless, but at the same time, living in that environment, where everything the government says is right is can so easily turn him to the dark side if he doesn’t want to see his perfect world falling apart around him.
What’s also interesting is that Circle has quite a few writers. The original idea was thought up by the writers of Six Flying Dragons and Tree with Deep Roots, but the scriptwriters are slightly lesser known writers (mostly from drama specials). I’m excited to see how these writers blend in their worlds to create a great package.

Omg yes (About the clothing resemblance)!!! I thought that as well! But it doesn’t seem like he has any goodness in him at all this time round. Seems like he is playing an evil through and through which I am honestly really excited to see more of his character~!
But yes the interactions between the brothers was beyond adorable and I couldn’t get enough of their childlike scawbling tackling one another and teasing one another. I honestly though I had made a mistake with which character had which child counterpart at the start before I did manage to reason with myself over which one was wearing glasses and which wasn’t.
And yes I feel the same over Lee Hosoo. I have to admit one of the scenes that stood out to me was when he said “I have never lied.” He honestly meant I believe and the character is so deep rooted within the Smart City system it would be hard for him to change around. Also that moment with where the green light turned red… I wonder what happens if their light stays red for a long time? there must be something…. Maybe they get shocked into fainting or maybe it cuts something in their brain or I dunno… I am just running theories here but I am not sure if I like any of them.

I send all my love and prays to those that were affected and to the families who were affected by this tragedy. According tot he news articles I have read apparently the bomber was killed during the the time the explosives went off.
I can’t even imagine how scary it would be for that to happen to experience that. So please my fellow beanies. When going out at night or going to concerts please please please stick with someone. And if you see anyone suspicious please tell authorities.
Again I send my love to the families that were affected.
