Beanie level: Eunuch in drag

(Love is For Suckers – Episode 11) In my best Tyra Banks’ Tiffany episode voice: We were rooting for you!! We were all rooting for you!

Love is for Suckers: I’m so in love with this drama that it could end right now and I’d be fine. Still, it would be painful if it didn’t continue.

    It really has been a great show so far but I really need them to tie up the loose ends, those imagined conversations this week were so hard to watch when I realised that’s what they were.

      It is getting a little draggy, and I want her to tell him directly she’s afraid of losing him.

        Why is she SO reluctant, really!

          She said something about ruining all of her relationships so I think she’s worried about damaging their friendship.

            This just breaks my heart.😞 I’m ready for things to turn around now…but it looks like the show is going to keep me suffering for longer.

Monthly Magazine: Noble idiocy is like a silver bullet to a werewolf, garlic to a vampire, kryptonite to Superman…! There’s been no real tension so far but why this route???

    And this idiocy is worse and more annoying 🤦🏽‍♀️

      Noble idiocy that NO ONE even asked for makes it three times as bad too. That said, we are now on track for 3.5 episodes of cute so I will reserve my full side-eye for next week.

Imitation: You have to appreciate that Ma Ha has remained on her grind throughout everything. Girl is a hussler.

Bossam: Can we talk about how much of a liability Dae Yup(the brother-in-law) is?

    He’s a liability to EVERYONE. 😂 When Minister Lee just rolled not only his eyes but his whole entire head after his son told him everything, I was ROTFL. He’s a loose cannon, but that’s what makes this show great. He’s the twist in everyone’s plot. I can so see why his dad wouldn’t let him marry the Princess. I wouldn’t either if I was set to try to make a move on the king.

      He’s so pesky, like a swarm of gnats. I want him to just go away but left to his own devices; it’s definite he’ll inadvertently burn the entire kingdom down.

    I haven’t seen episode 7 yet but setting your own house on fire is a bit much. I am looking for a Ba-woo/Dae-yeob bromance developing (somehow).

    O/T. Shin Hyun-soo became a favorite of mine after seeing him in TWELVE NIGHTS (2018) (Viki US). NAVILLERA and SHS fans. If you are looking for another ‘dance’ drama I can highly recommend TWELVE NIGHTS. SHS (all 6’2” inches of him) plays a contemporary dancer.

    He’s not getting to the end of this drama alive, is he? 😂
    He’s so cute that my shallow side is sorry for not being able to root for him anymore, but I’m done with BIL’s entitled stupid moves 🤦

The most fascinating thing with the bullying scandals is all the agencies threatening legal action to anyone coming forward.

For me, the best thing to come out of the final episode of the A Love so Beautiful remake was that amazing looking toast. This might be because I haven’t had bread in a really, really long time.

I’m always surprised there’s not been a Korean remake of Autumn’s Concerto (not Autumn in my Heart) or was there one and I just don’t know about it?

    there are enoguh similar plots..

    its like the oldest plot ever, couple separating, woman bearing the kid.. and then them reuniting

      Fair enough, I think I just really want a better ending to the original. My hope is that in a remake I’d get one.

        been so long.. i guess i don’t remember..

        didn’t they reunite and it was heavily ever after?
        Or did she die, or did the kid die?

          The ending was standard. No one died and the OTP reunited. It was just very rushed.

Lovestruck: I’m not sure I’m allowed to have so many mixed emotions about a single 33-minute episode.

      They must be building up to a second season. They must be. Otherwise, this is just so stupid.

        If all the episodes had been self contained stories with occasional popping of other characters to kind of string together that they all live in the same universe that could have worked.

        Maybe season 2 (assuming that’s what they’re setting up) they’ll be less all over the place.

          I got the impression early on that maybe they were going to focus on each couple’s story separately. Like next season might be Kyung Jun and Rin-yi’s story and follow up with Geun and Soo Young. Now, I’m not so sure.

        It was advertised as a once a year continuing series. At least that was the plan at some point.

Lovestruck: Why not have a drama about woman on a true journey of self-discovery? Why what we got? I feel bamboozled and hoodwinked.

    If only EunOh had told JaeWon from the beginning he would have understood, as he did when he was told.

      I was thinking the same thing!! If she told him earlier then we could’ve had a show about her finding herself and reconnecting with him on her journey. Now we don’t get to see her growth. I feel we and Eun Oh have been cheated.

    YES and here I am still excited for the next episode. The trio’s candle lighting scene was so touching.

I’ve watched every episode of the remake of ‘A Love So Beautiful’ and it just doesn’t stick to your ribs like the original. Something’s off for me.

    Agree! I stopped watching after a couple hours. It’s not as compelling. It’s too cutesy, I think.

      There’s a level of depth that’s not there. The acting is fine but it doesn’t seem the actors are grounded in the characters.

    I stopped watching after Ep4. I didn’t hate it, it just doesn’t make me excited like the first one did.

Drama withdrawal: What I need right now is a great family drama that’s not too makjang-y. Suggestions, please.

    Have you seen Father is Strange? It’s pretty light, has a delightful cast, and is one of the only weekenders I’ve managed to watch. I’ve only seen a bit of Ojakgyo Brothers, which is pretty old now, but it also seems fairly light and fun for a weekend family drama. And not a family drama per se, but a great lowkey and super underrated drama with some lovely family storylines and relationships is 20th Century Boy and Girl.

      I second Father is Stanger. I’ll also nominate Five Alive and The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop (I would watch the latter just for Cha In-pyo and Ra Mi-ran, who are hilarious together).

      Other low drama fluff that comes to mind:
      –1% of Something
      –Strong Women Do Bong-soon (okay, there’s technically a serial killer arc, but it’s so boring and un-noteworthy that you could just zoom through those parts without missing much)
      –Touch Your Heart
      –Eulachacha Waikiki (You could watch seasons one or two, but I don’t recommend both; they’re sort of duplicative, so you exhaust most of the fun after one season. The decision might come down to whether you want to watch Kim Seon-ho and Moon Ga-young vs Kim Jung-hyung and Jung In-sun.)

        I will seek out Five Alive and the Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop. Your other suggestions are faves of mine.

      I watched Father is Strange and Ojakgyo Brothers and loved both of them. I will revisit 20th Century. I remember not finishing it but can’t remember why I didn’t.

    I second Father is Strange. Check out Five Children, Marry Me Now and My Unfamiliar Family if you haven’t already.

    I LOVED Ojakgyo Brothers. It has one of the cutest OTPs IMO.

True Beauty: So what your telling me is 16 episodes of Record of Youth were summed up in the last 30 minutes of the True Beauty finale? And it was done better?! Got it.

    Rewatch something you really, really love.
    Try an oldie.
    That’s what I’m doing to survive RunOn’s finale.

Run On: Drama withdrawal is very much a real thing. You’re going to need the jaws of life to drag me away from this drama. I’m not ready to say good-bye.

Lovestruck: My fault for forgetting the rules of K-dramaland. Jae Won was never NOT going to fall in love with Eun Oh again. They were always going to end up together. That’s how this all works.

    It would be refreshing to have another ending. Have you watched Matrimonial Chaos?

    I expected them to, so I don’t mind. I’m interested to see if the writer can make them come back from such a mess in a way I will actually buy. I’m enjoying this end of the drama so much more – big change from the early episodes, I literally fell asleep during one. 😂

Lovestruck: At this point, it’s me. I’m addicted to this crazy show that makes me want to hurl my laptop two days a week. This is my plot in life.
