Beanie level: Chaebol’s poor doppelganger

me, having just caught up with Tale of Nokdu and Extraordinary You, wanting more episodes right now

Hey Beanies! I’d like you to meet my new friend, Windy. We’ve only known each other 3 weeks but it feels like she’s always been family. Windy has a vaguely heart shaped spot, so our attempt at I❤️U just turned out more like a dog photo with IU written on it, but it’s the thought that counts I guess (she seems to be a fan of IU though)

After adopting her I went back and re-read one of my favorite webtoons, My Kitty and Old Dog, that I just gotta share with you all. The artist’s stories about her senior pup Nang-nak really hit home for me, but it’s an endearing and enjoyable (but keep some tissues near by) series for anyone who has a pet or just likes animals.

Basically Kang Woo at the start of today’s episode of Angel drama

And some spoiler thoughts in the comments~

    From this point on, I’ll stop thinking logic. I hate this writer so effin much. I don’t want to drop this drama and Shin Hye Sun at the end screaming, I’m like *chills* how can I drop this drama????!!!!

    1
    1

      Me too. Shin Hye Sun is too good, and I’m interested enough in the main characters not to drop it but gosh the writer is so frustrating lol

      1
      1

        Writer-Nim is the villain here. Doing Shin Hye Sun dirty. She doesn’t deserve this to be treated like this.

        2
        1

          I don’t know how to feel about the writer lol, some things are so well done and I appreciate that we’re only at the half way point but have gotten through a lot of tropes that come up in the latter half of many dramas. Then there’s these glaring moments of “what the???…” when it comes to how this deity and his angels operate that pull you out of the story because they’re so ridiculous and the evil relatives are just silly.

          0

    I was half expecting him to have followed Yeon Seo and Dan home too and appear in the background in her room.

    But anyway, what the heck was that ending? I mean Hu and the grandpa husband who was actually an angel. He just poofed him away to prove a point? And in the middle of a field with his sick wife. He had to have known about him before so why let him go that whole time. He was suspicious before but after that I hope he turns out to be the big bad. That scene where Guns n’ Rosaries showed up is too ridiculous to re-watch to see if they showed their faces, but maybe he’s the one who shot Seol Hee.

    And writer, one of the best things about this show is when Dan and Yeon Seo are together so why do you insist on separating them every other episode??

    4
    3

      Haha, I laughed at Sunbae Angel doing the whole Darth Vader thing in the field. This has turned from watching this drama because I like it to watching this drama because I want to see what silly thing is going to show up next.

      4
      1

      ofcourse the other definition could be that these “angels” are no angels.. they are in fiery pit right now.. paying for their sins..

      that would put things into perspective.. like let them think they are angels.. tell them not to love and give them human body .. what is that one thing all humans do? when asked not to do something they do it! . so these “angels” will most definitely fall in love.. get punished and feel regret. .. while everything was a lie from the very beginning

      I was disgusted by the execution of that scene. That was totally unnecessary. I’m sad that I used to love and obsess this drama….

some Lookout thoughts before heading in to the finale

– Firstly, Kyung-soo and Bomi ❤️ they are the cutest and also the adorablest. Kim Seul-gi is amazing as always and I’ve never seen Key act before but he’s perfect as the ever-optimistic hacker puppy
-Soo Ji is a badass. she’s reckless and gets herself into trouble but she’s quick to figure things out and despite what she’s been through is still a caring person. it’s refreshing to have an awesome lady in the role of a skilled detective out to avenge her loved one. Lee Si-young is a also badass and i had no idea she was a boxer too
-the priest is hot
– Kim Young-kwan’s shady character might be asking for a Mean Girls joke with that poofy hair, but he’s really impressive here. especially those moments when his conscience catches up with him
-What to Wear While Being Interrogated: A Novel by Shin Dong-wook
-although the show can be ridiculous in that everyone sucks at disguises and some things are just a little too convenient, it’s easy to look past the flaws and just roll with it. the Lookout team are all fantastic characters and there’s been plenty of twists and surprises that keep each episode exciting. i think Do-han lost too much of himself to his revenge plan to get a happy ending but there best be justice for the victims of Yoon and his trash son’s crimes.

11

    Ahhh, a new Lookout fan. I will be watching for you reaction of the finale.

    Kim Seul-gi NEEDS to do a new drama.

    Yes, Shin Dong-wook was such a hot priest he spawned a hot priest trend.

    Do-han is currently disguised as a faceblind CEO with a spunky secretary. No one can tell me any different.

    6
    1

      Overall I liked it! Villains were caught, there was some cuteness and laughs, and Soo Ji got to take down a whole mess of bad guys, which was all satisfying. And well-played Lookout team and hot priest, acting like something happened to Do-han. They really might have to let poor Eun-jung in on that whole CEO secret though.

      And yes, yes she does! Hopefully she’ll be back in one this year.

      Ah, so he’s to blame. Or thank.

    LOOKOUT!!!! Solomon Park is also outstanding in this! I loved to hate him. @sicarius, what say you?

    4
    2

    Yayyyy! Yes a lot can be overlooked in this drama because of the characters and the acting.

    Key is wonderful- he’s only acted in one other drama to date, which is Drinking Solo, where, in my opinion, he completely stole the show and made it bearable.
    Seul Gi, as @egads said, really does need a new drama already. She’s so good.
    KYK as Do Han in this quite destroyed me and I wrote so much on this drama, I’m still not really sure I’m over it.

    I just binged this over the weekend and finished this morning! Had some qualms with the ending but really enjoyed it overall. Loved the cast 💖

    4
    1

      Haha that’s pretty much what I did too! I usually don’t binge watch much but I was too hyped to find out what would happen next that I wasn’t gonna get much sleep anyway. The writer had to be thinking there was a chance for a season 2 with how they ended things.

      3
      1

        I know what you mean–I kept telling myself, “just one more episode,” then they’d leave you hanging and I was like, “eh, one more can’t hurt.” 😄 And I agree, it definitely seemed like they were hoping for a season 2 with that ending.

        1
        0

    One of my absolute favorites. The range of feelings KYK is able to show in the span of 3 seconds is INCREDIBLE. I loved the show, and I loved him, and I loved Do Han.

    5
    1

      I don’t think I’ll be over the show for quite a while, especially KYK. Do-han was such a fascinating, multilayered character and KYK made every aspect of him completely believable.

      0
      1

        My only problem with this show is that they said that he saw the little girl with the boy and knew something would happen but didn’t do anything to prevent it so that he could get something for his case. I don’t buy that. That is not how they have sketched him. We never see that his mind has gone that far in his revenge to completely blur such a horrible act except for that one instance. Every other time he clearly shows soft spots. So I don’t buy it. I believe we were just being manipulated. They only said this to have a reason for him feeling guilt towards her mother, to creat more angst and drama where there was absolutely no need for it.
        Anyway, end of rant. Still love the show and the man.

        1
        1

          I could see how he would be tempted to not stop Shi-wan because he’s devoted so many years to bringing Yoon with an “end justifies the means” type of philosophy even if that meant covering up corruption and endangering the Lookout trio. But I didn’t see him as in so deep that he wouldn’t go back and try to stop him.

One of my favorite things about dramas is the music ❤️ Many of the OSTs are great just as stand alone songs, and listening to them brings back memories of the show and times spent fangirling together. WFKBJ has one of my favorite soundtracks and this one always makes me smile

Radiant/Dazzling/The Light in Your Eyes/The Tears in My Eyes just totally destroyed me. In a good way though, y\’know? It was almost too sad but there was plenty of warmth and love in the storytelling, and I really can\’t put into words all my feelings about the drama. It was oftentimes heart-breaking, sometimes hilarious, totally gutsy with that twist near the end, and just dazzlingly beautiful.

    *piles on the hugs* It’s an absolute gem that stays in the heart for a long, long time. 💖

      For sure 💕 Hye-ja’s monologue at the end was especially touching and drama as a whole was lovely.

        I want to write that out on a great big banner and hang it on my wall, or just put it on a flag that I carry on me everywhere. It’s just one of those things that I wish people could believe and know deep within their hearts.

          Exactly 💕 It was the perfect way to wrap up the drama and something I wish everyone could hear and remember when they most need it.

    I just finished this and the only drama that made me an equally blubbering mess was Dear My Friends (which Kim Hye Ja also starred in). Ugh I love this drama so much. Deffo needs a rewatch.

    1
    1

      It really was lovely, wasn’t it? I want to check out that one too but will need to watch something light and fluffy first 😅 Kim Hye-ja was amazing in this and I can imagine she’ll bring on the tears in Dear My Friends too!

      1
      1

        Light and fluffy is absolutely recommended. We need to get over our bittersweet heartbreak this drama caused.

        1
        1

          Definitely! Nothing really stands out in the current batch of dramas so I’m thinking maybe a rewatch of WFKBJ would be good 😊

I love how the first thing Woori does, after moving to a new place and having to deal with the stress of being in the cat carrier, is check to make her name tag is still attached

That cat\’s got talent. I never did finish writing my theme of the month about pets but Woori could\’ve had a whole article just to herself.

    Lee Min-ki who? Jung So-min who? Woori was the true star of this show!

    Min-ki said that there were two cats that they used while filming, one named Mint and another whose name escapes me.

    I love them both 💖

      Awww Mint is such a cute name! Not just anyone can take command of a scene when they are sharing the screen with LMK and JSM. #morecatdramas2k19 #preferablywithlmk

Ok, snail bus is probably not the best way to get anywhere fast

But look who I picked up on the way to the wedding! Trying to hail a cab she was.

Splish Splash Update

It seems like this Sunday will work out for many Beanies, so I\’ll be hosting Splish Splash Love on Rabbit at 2:30 PM EST which is 6:30 PM GMT Tagging everyone who said they\’d be interested and might be available, but if you missed the first post or want to come just let me know. I\’ll send an invite out on Rabbit, too. Hop-fully you\’ll be able to join! It\’s always more fun watching together

I just finished Flower Boy Next Door and it just might be one of my most favorites ❤️ I found it to be a very cozy drama and, as someone who has a tendency to want to hide away in my comfort zone, appreciated the messages it had to offer. I could often relate to Dok Mi:



(although YSY, especially as Enrique, is arguably cuter than a puppy) and I totally enjoyed the show and all the fluffy feels 🐘

Hare ye, hare ye! Calling all Rabbit Beanies (and anyone who\’d like to join)! Would y\’all be interested in watching Splish Splash Love together? I\’m pretty much available any weekend, including this Sunday from 2-5:30 EST, but please comment with days, times (and your timezone) that are best for you and I\’ll work something out!

If you\’ve not seen it yet, it\’s a drama special, about 2.5hrs long, starring Kim Seul-gi as a student who finds herself back in the Joseon era and Yoon Do-joon as King Sejong the Great. It\’s full of laughs and cuteness and might make you swoon over the alphabet, so if that sounds like your kind of thing come and join the Rabbit Party!
