Beanie level: Water maid

Family Matters is so odd. All the characters are nut jobs and a wannabe psycho.

Decided to check out “Family Matters” while waiting for “When the Phone Rings” and it so interesting, hilarious, whacky and fascinating. I’m hooked and it’s my second obsession. I’ve loved Bae Doona all the way from “Gloria” and I always eventually watched her movies/series even if it’s years later.

Yet, what kind of cliffhanger was that in Ep3 ending?!!!

Why??!!!!

Today is Monday and Friday seems like years away.

Hello everyone. I hope you’re having a wonderful day. You’ll be happier if you’re also watching “My Sweet Mobster”. It’s the cutest little show

    We all definitely need that kind of sweetness in our lives. ❤🥰✅

      I was just giggling, blushing, feeling second hand embarrassment, kicking my feet while watching the cutest couple fall in love

If the husband really ported to the Congressman’s side, that would be so lame and the worst writing I’ve ever seen. In a bid to villainize him, they made a character go OOC.
He was just two episodes ago declaring that he has a backup plan to his initial failed plans, just for him to hand over the evidence of his son’s murder to the murderer.

I can’t deal with this blatant writing hole. It absolutely does not make any sense

Binged watched “Wonderful World” up to ep12, and I’ve got to say it fell flat. It’s too predictable. I called the affair with the sister right from ep1. The revenge is stupid and soohyun is actually annoying. A shameless son of a murderer is threatening you and you’re widening your eye in understanding. The only thing she ever does is talk, no action, no power. Just a reactionary character (except for the first episode of course). Because why would you feel sympathy towards the son of the murderer that killed your son?🙄🙄

Also, I hate the relationship between Soohyun and her mom. The mum character is so annoying, weak, self deprecating, and a burden. Their relationship fell flat for me as it failed to generate any emotion whatsoever. Just wasting screen time and being mopey.
I’ll struggle through the last two episodes to see how they wrap up this plot hole ridden drama. Mstwwwwww

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It was the neighbor lady!!!! She was the mistress 😬

But she was outside when FL came back and she was snapping her son, so why would she reopen the door after FL had gone inside 🤔🤔

Ep12 of “Wonderful World” is as a depressing and heartbreaking cry fest

I just started “Wonderful World”. First episode in and I’m willing to bet that the husband is having an affair and his mistress left the gate open which allowed FL’s son to get out. Reminds me of “Why women kill”. Same MO
I can go further and speculate that the Sister/Secretary of FL is the mistress.

Let me continue and see how my speculations pan out.

Episode 10 of Queen of tears was filled with fillers interspersed with bits of poignant scenes.
Soo choel informing his runaway wife about their kids hospital schedule; the father’s bonding over their feeling of past glory; Hae In’s mother in law crying once she learned about her illness.
Nevertheless, the episode picked up in the final act and that cute epilogue (too cute, just like drunk Hyun Woo😭😭)
Hae In really went in gun ablaze. She completely destroyed Eun Stupid

Did I mention that I hate Hae In’s mother. I hate the character and she contributes to part of the filler 🙄🙄

    Eun-stupid! 👌 Thanks to Unit we are all having fun with his name. His face was worth watching. She was right when she told him earlier that I have nothing to lose. Boss lady!! 😍

      My favorite iteration of his name by Unit is “Eun Suspicious”. I burst out laughing when I saw it 😂😂

        I struggle to decide which one is my favorite – they ALL are. I never knew there were so many “shady” words starting with S. 🤣

Legend of Shenli

The last time I was giddy and a cdrama was “Till the End of the Moon” last year.
I love the laid back nature of Xingzi. The way he takes his time to do things. His organic love for Shenli. The way he always protects her yet help her to be herself. You could see his love grow🤣 until he went crazy and imprisoned her🤭
Crazy guy.
When they succumbed to their desires in that cave, I couldn’t believe they could show that much skin in a cdrama, I was shook yet impressed.
However, my favorite part is when they’re living a simple life. I love how boring and idle they are. I love the depiction on screen. It might seem boring to others, but that’s what makes me love the drama.
I love the side character. Shenli’s master, furong and his gaslighting sister, the annoying yet incompetent heavenly king.
Although the whitening and smoothening of their face is excessive, I can feel the chemistry between the leads in the drama.
I never watched Princess Agent. Tried watching it but the bad cgi wolf ran me off.

Episode 6 of “Queen of Tears” was a nerve wrecking watch. The evil people are too smart, coordinated and a lot!! I couldn’t enjoy the romance while anticipating the concurrent setup

Also, “In Blossom” by Ju Jingyi is surprisingly good. Somehow, it reminds me of “Word of Honor” even tho the storyline is not similar.

Due to that debacle with Chen Zeyuan, I grew to like her and I now detest him. The feeling solidified when his team pulled the same stunt with Dilireba. My feelings are subjective but I don’t care 😂😂 I can’t stand his sight and I skip any post that has his face in it.

However, because of my newfound love for Jujingyi, I decided to check out her new drama and it’s better than I expected. Her as a villain was captivating and as the scheming sleuth is funny.

    It’s not that I outright dislike him—and I’ve never watched any of his works— but I’ve always had an “something’s off” feeling about him. To me, he has an “air” about that makes me feel like he thinks he is super important and up there with a lot of his seniors in the biz, when his career in showbiz is still quite green (not even 10 years) 🤔

      This too. I usually don’t have any impression on actors, but I feel a negative energy from him. Might be my bias speaking, but his eyes literally look smarmy to me.

        There’s actually a handful of celebs in C- Ent. (and K-Ent.) that don’t give me great vibes— it’s like a sixth sense I have— and I will tend to stay away from them in all aspects:
        I refuse to consume any of their stuff—which includes endorsements ( ergo, not giving my support to them and their work)— I will not read nor get into any of the headlines they have, I will not check out their social media, will not care about the events they attend, etc.

        … But I shall keep this list of celebs to myself, lest they have fans here on this platform 😅

When will Kdramas leave Africa (Aprika) alone?!! Either going there as punishment(Marry my Husband) or to feed the poor or to experience barbarism in the case of “Queen of Tears”.

I am exhausted

Finished watching ep14 “Marry My Husband” and I just came here to announce that it is wack. It’s unbelievably stupid I couldn’t believe my eyes. I’m so pissed.

This show switched from romance and mild drama to casually planning murders.

Murder!!!

Just for money. It doesn’t make sense. Their thought trajectory has no bearing based on their character. Why would Jiwon break up with Ju hyuk for such a stupid reason? She came from the future and she is aware that he never married so what was the reason? So, you break up, he remains single and you remain single and you are both miserable?The unhinged fiancé that refuses to back down even though the couple has broken up. Jiwon casually trying to kill Su min via fate. Sumin and her husband and her dad renting a truck of doom to kill Jiwon.
Jiwon’s mum that she has not seen nor met in ages casually agreeing to kill her own daughter.
Seems like all their brains were switched off, just going ahead like zombies to commit an unrealistic, unreasonable crime.
I had to check and confirm that I was watching the same show I started with.

End of rant

Anyway, I watched the first two episodes of the “Sword and Fairy” dramas and I prefer “sword and fairy 6” except for Esther Yu’s voice.

It viscerally repulses me. Reminds me of the “I just turned 18” girl on douyin. Better straighten your tongue girl😡😡

“My Demon”…. Sigh

After I finished “Perfect Marriage Revenge” and caught up on “Marry my Husband”, I was stumped on which of my dropped dramas to continue watching or which new drama to start watching. I picked the latter.

I picked “Born to Run” because no matter how much hate is piled on “Yang Chaoyue” because she’s supposedly a ‘bad’ actress, I still like her. Lots of actresses are bad in cdramas, yet I feel her hate is excessive. I digress.

Anyway, I picked up the drama for her and I’m loving it so far. The plot is a bit heavy and I know I will/may drop it, yet, I wanted to watch it to some extent.

All these long backstory is just rant that Yang Chaoyue’s character “Chen Rouhua’s” mum in the series is the most suffocating, manipulative and selfish mum character I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing in my screen. Just like her deceased son said, it’s like a constant camera and alarm, hanging above his head, no peace of mind, no joy, no agency. Just controlling and suffocating ‘love’.

When she unlocked her daughter’s phone and went through her messages, I was dumbfounded. I actually felt sick to my stomach because how nasty do you have to be to invade your daughter’s privacy like that. She then proceeded to do worse as the drama progressed.

This is in sharp contrast to the other mother/daughter relationship depicted in the drama, which also has its own ups and downs yet it’s healing and inspiring, motivating and empowering not toxic and depressing.

Either way, I’ve dropped the drama because as at episode 18, Chen Rouhua has not stood up for herself for once, instead she gave up and moved back home to continue the rounds of manipulation and while I understand that it’s not an easy process to break free from an abusive and toxic relationship, I can’t bring myself to continue watching it.

    Omo … dramaland always finds new ways to make toxic parents. Not that it is easy to stand up to them (IRL or dramaland) but it is extremely important to draw clear boundaries. Sigh.

    Good choice to drop. It is very important to respect our own emotional boundaries. My RL has enough angst, thank you very much, why taken on more in my dramas. 🙅‍♀️
