Dreaming of a Freaking Fairy Tale so far

Signed up for the Paramount+ free trial but they lied about the goods. Dropped ’em faster than Melting Me Softly

Found eps 1-6 on the darkish side. The humor in the first 2 eps was mostly hit or miss, but I’m glad I stuck around because it gets so much better after that 😄 It has my heart already…

…but now to venture into the dark, dark side to find episode 7 *gets theme music ready*

    I left some of my post behind 🙈

    I love how bonkers the leads are. The whole show is bonkers and the cast embraces it and delivers such wonderful nonsense. 2FL is horrible but entertaining, and the 2ML is boring except when he’s fixing buttons. And I love the narrator

    The rom is very good and the com even better. Special mentions to the 9pm news, the chase with Jae Rim and the artist, and Cha Min and the Christian music 😂

      I’m also on the dark side watching Freaking Fairytale! Just starting episode 3. I love it!!! It’s the best kind of fractured fairytale, and I love how ambitious the FL is, and how unhinged the ML is (but in a FUN way; finally, a sweet psycho role for him 😂). Love your choice of image!! *sings danger music* 🎵

      Just remember to either download all the ad blocker extensions you can find onto your browser, or use an ad blocking browser. I’ve had good luck using the Brave browser (no popups or ads at all so far!), which can be downloaded in Apple and Android.

        It is definitely a “surprisingly good” drama.

        Hopeful that you for the browser rec.

        Jun as “sweet psycho” is the perfect description. 😊

          Sure is! Comedies are always tough because the humor can easily fall flat, and if it’s not grounded by some sincerity too then it can get boring. Here it’s all working 😄

            💯 Exactly that!! Humor by itself is indeed meaningless without sincerity. Also the kind of homor may be very topical or cultural and may not necessarily translate well or appeal universally. Here the lesson of “self-empowerment” of women to do something for themselves resonates for all. This is something I personally have been saying for ages and it really hit me hard and made me scream in sheer joy at finally seeing a work pick up that lesson and run with it. 🫰

        It is!! It’s such goofy fun, but somewhere under all the silliness the characters are still people you can connect to 😄

        Haha, I’ve never seen Jun in anything before, but this must be a change of pace from his other roles. He’s hilarious and very sweet

        And thank you so much for the tips! The Brave browser works like a charm. With the logo too, it’s like the lion umbrella here 😂

          In case you are inspired to try our Jun’s filmography you will not be disappointed. Only one small tip – process with caution. ⚠️ He is a bit too good at villain roles so pick and choose what you would be comfortable with.

          Gosh the Brave browser is indeed our Chairman Ko!!
