Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

Just finished watching HS Return of a Gangster and Frankly Speaking and I’m officially back in Kdramaland. I immensely enjoyed QOT but it was Gangster and FS that lured me back.

My copy of The Love Hypothesis arrived, has anyone read it? I just want kilig. Also, yesterday (April 14th) was Law School’s 1st Broadcast Anniversary. A year has passed yet I’m still there~

    I read The Love Hypothesis and really liked it! I went on a romance book binge this winter and it was one of my top picks. I think you’ll find what you’re looking for there.

    I loved it! It actually lived up to the hype (for me) and I’m really looking forward to this author’s work in the future. I was on a romance kick and this was my favorite of the books I read.

    I think some people find the protagonist a bit frustrating, but I’ve known people in academia who were just as accomplished as she was and who felt a lot of the same doubts and emotions she had.

    I enjoyed it a lot. I liked both the MCs, though there armaments of “Just tell the truth already”, lol.
    If you listen to podcasts Heaving Bossom’s just did an ep of it. Their eps are basically recaps so spoilers, but they are fun.

    I loved it – one of my 5 star reads this year! The academia setting is unique for romance.

No motivation to watch new dramas although My Liberation Diary has been on my watchlist since the casting announcement. I haven’t fully healed from 2521 and ABP is cute but it didn’t remove the pain.

    Same – I need something light and funny with a happy ending, but can’t get up the motivation to watch anything……………. orz

Lost my mind over 2521 Ep14, I was so sad that I felt broken the entire Monday only to be cured by ABP. They better give us a good finale week. I’m begging youuuu!!!

    Both dramas help in making the wait for the other drama next week’s episodes bearable. Glad that both are running and ending simultaneously.

Today I heard a group of men laughing loudly as they walked past my workplace. They were laughing cause a bird dropped something on their friend’s head. I smiled listening to them. Love, February

Purple Drabble

August of last year,
I lived independently.
Full of excitement and fears,
Without my friends or family.
But you see, I love the crowd.
Being with people gives me energy.
I enjoy talking out loud,
Yes, this pandemic has tortured me.
My phone became a friend,
I just couldn’t live without it.
For every message I send,
I talked with people I have yet to meet.
I went on Discord and had fun,
We, beanies, bonded over everything.
Talked about stuff under the sun.
I enjoyed hosting trivia more than anything.
Alas, by then I’m still not over Law School,
The drama mind you, not the real one.
So I spent time on Twitter like a fool,
And poof! All my free time was gone.
I also logged in less on DB (I’m sorry),
Not having enough time to sleep.
As my online life got very busy,
It was my health I failed to keep.
Now, I know better,
Than to sacrifice sleep for our Oppas.
But please, let’s still fangirl together,
And share our love for TV dramas.
By the end of this poem, I only wanted to say.
Always prioritize ‘YOU’.
Sleep, eat, and drink water every day,
Love yourself, please do.

P.S. Thank you Beanies for still being the best Drama Community,
I trust this group’s opinions more than the bird app’s majority!

Love, February

    How very talented of you to have written such a fun poem, Purple! And you’re the best Trivia hostess we have ever had! I love the message to prioritize ourselves at the end of the poem. Nothing can be truer, yet people need constant reminders of, than this.

    ❤️💕💕🌷

#2021DramaRoundUp
Day 1. FL I’ll Never Forget- Kang Sol A from #LawSchool. She’s such a comfort character for me and her struggles as a student were 100% relatable.

    Love the drama and all the characters, but hate the choppy editing. I know it’s mostly for the dramatic effect but the result is that I could barely remember how they solved the cases.

    I knew you would choose her. I debated hard between her and my FL choice.

    I only watched two episodes of Law School (I know I will resume because your love has convinced me to) but I can tell you she was the thing I loved the most on those two episodes.

Will start watching The King’s Affection after work and I’m so excited. Park Eun Bin is good at choosing her roles so I’m really looking forward to this!

My parents started watching Law School to support me but after episode 1, they complained that the camera shots and angles made them dizzy. They also complained a lot about getting confused with the flashbacks and timelines. I told them to stop watching it but they insisted, they wanted to find out why I love it so much. Toward the half of episode 2, they called me again to ask questions and complain. I told them again to just stop watching. This is why I don’t recommend dramas I love because I can’t bear it getting bashed by people I love. I know it’s petty but I don’t see the point of watching and ranting but still watching just to rant. Real life is already stressful enough, just stop watching if you don’t like the drama.

    I understand watching and ranting and still watching and I also understand youu hahah

      I used to do that too and it’s their choice but I wish they didn’t rant to me cause they know how much I love that show.

      This response is almost a month late. Haha!

        Your wish is valid. Maybe try communicating to them again? Although a month has gone by (xD) and they might have ready finished watching

    I’m not sure why either but I certainly have been known to keep watching SO I can rant 🤷🏼

      They can rant all they want just not to me cause I’m still in love with Law School (although I know and I admit its shortcomings)

    I think this is why I downplay my feelings on dramas, or anything I really love in general, with close fam and friends. Like I get that we might have diff opinions, but keep them away from me especially if you are going to bash it!

      Right? This is exactly how I feel. It’s been a month and they’re still watching and I told them off so I think it’s fine now.

Still in Law School but is currently enjoying Chachacha. Slowly watching HosPlay2, and easily watched four eps of Our Secret (cdrama). Hope everyone\’s having a good week!

Belatedly realized that I haven’t completed the #2021MidYearDramaChallenge

6. DRAMA YOU HATE-WATCHED AND FINISHED
I stopped hate-watching shows because it’s a waste of time. However, I dropped Lovestruck in the City thrice then finished it. Toward the end of the show, I enjoyed it a lot and although it wasn’t in my favorite drama list, I grew to like the characters. The ending with Choi Min Ho was unnecessary though.

7. DRAMA MANY LOVED BUT YOU DIDN’T
NEVERTHELESS
Only because I don’t want to remember Song Kang as a fxxkboy. I want him to remain as Chae Rok to me.

8. DRAMA YOU LOVED BUT MOST DIDN’T
LAW SCHOOL
Many dropped this drama while here I am seriously contemplating if I should pursue a law degree but I realized that I’m penniless and if I do it, I won’t have enough time to fangirl.

9. DRAMA YOU’VE REWATCHED THIS YEAR
My mind is going blank but I’m pretty sure that I watched something from last year. I don’t remember it though.

10. LAST DRAMA YOU FINISHED
LAW SCHOOL, still Law School. Help me move on.

Oh! I need to finish MRIAG too!!!

    Your son is still very cute in Nevertheless though Purple; but I absolutely agree that you shouldn’t watch it if you wanna keep him as CR in your heart. I’m happy and admire him for choosing (or given) these diverse roles. He is willing to take an opportune to explore and to me he did very well in every project that I’ve seen so far. His choice of work reminds me of Yoo Ah-in, another person that took on very diverse roles and grew up beautifully as an A-list actor.

      I agree! I love how he chooses his roles. And the way his characters are very different from each other speaks a lot about the kind of actor he wants to become. 💜

Experiencing a semi-slump cause as of now only Racket Boys, Witch\’s Diner, and HosPlay2 can hold my attention. I still can\’t move on from Law School OTP.

      That ending sort of threw me….totally did not expect that.

        Fams took the bullet and revealed the ending when the ending wasn’t accessible to all cdramabeans, so I gladly ignored the last 10 minutes of the show when I watched it. It’s nothing for me, it doesn’t matter 😅. But I understand how watching it without knowing anything can ruin the entire show. Just ignore it neener, it was probably due to censorship issues.

      I’m also watching it, currently on Ep15. Still good but my heart keeps coming back for Law School. 😁
