Yes!! I watched yesterday episodes 1-3 and I was like… wow… what I am watching… I love this super weird thing, whatever it is!!

Eun Soo…there I said it…her character bought a loose canon energy and her scenes with Shi Mok had a raw chemistry.

Had the same impression on ep 1 and 2, but when episode 3 started to introduce Shi mok’s way of analysing the scene, My interest went back.Punches are subtle this season, and the writer seems to point out that what is supposedly a mundane and natural response (shimok reaching out to the chief prosecutor for help on the rental scam) can cause heavy implications. As CP Lee Chang joon pointed out, it only started with a dinner treat. I treat S1 as solving problems, while S2 is more about the theory 😂

Honestly, S1 plot was pretty boring for me too. The only exciting thing was who would betray, or help, whom and when. I didn’t really care about any of the characters except YJM character. I don’t know why I wanted him to turn out to be the mole from the beginning. And when they started to drop hints, that was when I started to care at last. This time around the lack of who will end up where probably takes away most of the tension.
P.s. (from a hiding place) I HATE the beginning of S1. It was just a constant replay and flashback of a murder case that I didn’t care about AT ALL. I only stuck with it because LJH made me laugh and YJM made me swoon. And I’m saying that as a person who nearly never roots for the bad guys.

I can understand you, but I’m still hooked.
S1 was about solving a crime, S2 is not about that.
It’s more similar to Life (the previous show by the same writer). Nothing seems to be happening but I can’t stop watching.
I guess the main point to me is how these exhausted characters can make a difference.

And here I am not being able to connect with FOS2 anticipation despite loving S1 to bits …. 😑

I have never been tempted by PPLs but these books aren’t made by some big brands selling their stuff by huge money while they are made in the same factories in Asian countries for 2 or 4 dollar wages as all those other things very cheap ( some of them are sewn in other countries, like mine in EU, where people are often not paid for 4 months and for 328€ net which doesn’t even cover living expenses they have to make hundreds of them). I am also tempted to buy them.

Shoot us the online store when you find it. I’m ready for Moonyoung (or Sang In?) to take my money.

I also want the books. I’m currently in Korea, so I’m going to scout around and see where it’s being sold. If I find a global shipping site or anything, I will let you guys know.

It is very sad. People tend to forget that actors are not gods, even gods ain’t perfect,that they’re people as well and they need privacy and personal failures as all of us.

I accidentally found out a few days after the day. I was shocked and greatly saddened. I still refuse to see anything related to him, but sometimes his face would pop up in my feeds. 😩

No lie. All through 14 I kept asking WHERE are the police already?

Yes, police.

Also, the whole episode I was thinking Sang-tae knows and trusts Nurse Park. Gang-tae, either tell him the truth or make sure he’s with someone who knows at all times.

I didn’t understand how one can drop a drama with one or two episodes left but now that I’ve done it myself, i totally get it.

My policy has always been to either watch the dramas from my actor/writer list OR look for Beanie thoughts on the show before watching. Option 1 has lead me to some mediocre dramas but never bad enough to make me drop them. Option 2 always has me thinking – why havent I watched this drama sooner??

I guess that’s a pretty longwinded way of saying, wow, I’ve been so fortunate. Or patient, any of those two. 😂

Thanks for sharing! It was a great read! Really affirming my own dramas graveyard. :3
I used to feel guilty and very doubtful to drop a drama so early on, because a few do surprise me after the first few rocky episodes. but it’s so rare that that happens tho… So I learned to follow my gut reactions and try to feel no remorse/doubts when dropping a show. 😀

I like her bit about revisiting dropped dramas. I’ve revisited the Taiwan drama Miss Rose about six times and I just cannot finish it 😄 I think I should just let it go

I’m still in the stage of not dropping dramas. 😛

I used to push myself and just finish the drama for the hours that I’ve invested in watching it but after doing it for the first time, it gets easier the second time😄

Yes! Agreed!

At the beginning when she was in bed and yelling at Kang-tae – he told her to count to 3 – and you could see her relax just through her subtle facial expressions.
She is truly amazing in this show.

Yep, Seo Ye-ji brought me here and I also love the rest of this wonderful cast.

I’m not sure who I love more. Ko Moon Young or Seo Ye Ji. 😅 I agree with everything that you have said. I hope the last few episodes do not jinx what I am about to say but KMY is probably one of the best written characters ever. And SYJ is simply breathtaking as KMY. She makes me feel all the different emotions that her character is going through, thanks in large part to the rawness of SYJ’s acting. Props also to the PD, writer, stylist, and makeup artist for just thinking of everything and helping give us this character.

You expressed it beautifully. 😊

A group of my friends watched “Weathering with You” together in the theatre and couldn’t stop praising it!!! I need to get to it 😂😂

Weathering With You definitely belongs in the top-tier animes of all time!

Thanks for the recommendations, I’m curious about anime movies but I didn’t know where to start.

There are only a few dramas that had satisfying endings. It’s tough. Like you said, it’s almost a superhuman feat! It could also be because we like the drama so much that our expectations go real high and nothing could satisfy them. It’s a vicious cycle. Hang in there!

I can understand you so much.
I’m only live watching When my love blooms (I don’t count Good Casting because I’m mainly FF).
I’m watching old dramas that have been receiving beanie’s love and I’m ok with it.
But yes, I need a drama that can keep the second half as good as the first half.
*sighs with you*

oh darn..that’s who he is.. the guy from ghost and coffee shop.. wow

Yup, peaking between episodes 10-12 and then going downhill happens a lot. Anyway, I still prefer kdrama to the series I used to watch that just pilled on season after season… most of the times I just ended drifting off into something new. I like finding closure in stories, saying goodbye before going into other unknown territories… and sometimes the ride is awesome!

Same. I’m the type to drop dramas even though I pnly have two eps left. A good ending is hard to find especially when they can’t bring back your wasted time 😂

same here!! I can’t wait for them to kick Song’s ass.
I love how these two have grown on each other.. There is not a moment of lull in this drama.. I love it..
And where is the kiss scene?? Make out scene??

This was funny!
Thanks for sharing 🤣🤣🤣

South Korea has been much more vigilant about testing people for COVID-19 ever since it first began spreading there. They’ve been testing ~10,000 people EVERY DAY for weeks now. Some productions did take a break for a while, and I know many productions had cast and crew tested for the virus, but I’m guessing what they’re doing is making sure no one directly involved has the virus and going from there on deciding how to deal with it while filming.

From what I understand, though most of the Seoul population is self-isolating, things are still able to run more normally there in comparison to many parts of the world, because they had a much better handle on testing for the virus and tracking who spread it where.

I don’t know that they are doing social distancing in the same way.

I am worried about how scientists point out not to get too hopeful too soon as, like with the flu of 1918, they tend to bounce back when we think we have the all clear.

Many places in East Asia (S.Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan) have been able to react and flatten the curve in way better time and way better ways because they took early and drastic (military-like action). It sadly comes with past experience of dealing with SARS and MERS

My cousin’s daughter is studying a term in SK and in her IG account I can see she’s not precisely socially distancing.
It’s just like Mindy said. Their system is working better than in the rest of the world.
