    Nope
    Not really.
    It won’t be surprising if Min seol A comes back to life😂

Mine Ep 6: wow, that was a cheap badly done special effect! Can’t believe they couldn’t do better.

Here’s My Plan- hmmm. This looks like my first Anti-Candy Candy drama, if you can tell what I mean.

    I liked the first episode. I love Kim Hwan-Hee since Beautiful World and When the Weather is Fine.

      I liked it too. It’s a different set up – I’m not sure how the story will go.

      Episode 2 has its moments, too.

Well, the Cliff of Non-Doom makes an appearance, again!

NetFlix popped a drama called “My Only Love Song” into my suggested for… list. It seems to involve Ondal and Princess Pyeonggang (the supposed main characters in River Where the Moon Rises) and a time traveling actress. I was just wondering if any Beanies had seen both dramas, and would be willing to comment on which one is a better drama?

    If I remember correctly, My Only Love Song is very silly but lots of fun and now completely ruined by the male lead, who was a part of Burning Sun.

    It’s silly and fun, with a magic time-travelling van. I think it’s also short, so it’s an easy watch.

    Nothing like RIVER.

    I have not seen it myself but my wife started it and found it confusing. However she was also watching PRINCESS WEIYOUNG at that time so it may be that she just had something better to watch.

V- Conclusion to the first vault adventure was just perfect. Laugh out loud perfect.

So, the writer is going to find a way to squeeze a romance into a murder mystery? and take out the dead bodies when the writer is known for dead bodies? Is he, perhaps, just maybe, writing Penthouse 2???!!!

Why the blankety blank do light weight fluffy dramas include one or more utterly psychotic/murderous secondary characters?

Vincenzo – what are the chances that the stuff Vincenzo wants to grab is actually there? Or do we get a really surprised look on V’s face?

    It’s still there. They showed it and the monk feels a buddha is present.

    Yup! I’ve been thinking this too! What if he finally opens the vault to find its all gone? LOL

The Accidental Couple

Pressed play … I have not seen any of his other works, but Hwang Jung-min is a wonderful actor!

    He’s really really good. If you like crime/gangster movies, New World is a much watch. A Violent Prosecutor and Ode to My Father are also really good.

      New World is up there in my favorite movies. It was part of my Lee Jung-jae binge and left me staring into space of a while trying to wrap my head around.

        Honestly such a great film! Although, for me, Lee Jung-jae was overshadowed in this one by Hwang Jung-min and Park Sung-woong.

        I really really loved LJJ in Assassination. I think that’s the best movie performance of his that I’ve seen (IMO), although The Face-reader is really good as well.

    Accidental Couple is one of my most favorite shows EVER! I hope you enjoy it!

Successful Story of a Bright Girl

ML: Why did you turn down my proposal?
FL: I’m joining the Army.
ML: You’re pulling my leg, right? (Or something to that effect.)
FL: Shows ML the completed enlistment papers.
ML: …………..

New to me. FL is Jang Nara – who’s tiny.

    Oh I love Bright Girl. OG Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara!

    She is tiny but does not seem to have aged a day from that show.

    Ooh, I think I watched this intermittently on our local TV, didn’t they have edible make-up that they ate on the runway..? That ending is memorably confounding, LOL.

      Yes, make up that is so safe that it can be eaten…demonstrated on the runway.

      Ending with Jang Nara being deployed to Africa someplace by the Army, and Jang Hyuk vowing to follow near to the ends of the earth, literally.

Successful Story of a Bright Girl
Randomly pressed play on this. Turns out to be a Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara drama! Have no idea if this is any good, but the opening minute or two was epic – martial arts master and high school student Jang Nara flying and spinning through the air to save her Prince Jang Hyuk from a bunch of gangsters!

Would appreciate suggestions from beanies on whether to continue or not?

    The opening is indeed epic even by today’s standard.

    You’d find it ‘dated’ in terms of plot and delivery but there’s always the ff button. If anything, watching how green the two Jangs are is a good pastime. And Jang Nara is so so spunky.

      Green is right, but so cute, so soft edged – it’s really interesting to compare their youthful faces to their current ones. And the drama has its moments, so far.

Run On, Ep 2 – just realized the whole bone flying through the air to the opening notes of “Also sprach Zarathustra” was a reference to a scene in “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Nice bit of fun non sequitur.

I wonder how many other bits I’ve missed?

Sang Du, Let’s Go to School – opened an oldies just because. Opening sequence with Rain as a gigolo in training and Gong Hyo Jin as a school teacher is just hilarious. I wonder if the rest of the drama Is good?

Well, that went fast. ToD’s black sheep cousin, the Truck of non-Doom showed up. Sigh.
