From a meet cute in front of a convenience store named Destiny, to a kiss next to a portrait of a kiss, the set design team sure are having fun 😄 #ABusinessProposal
Aside from their storyline, I also really love the styling for the Youngseo-Sunghoon couple.
I mean, look at Sunghoon’s almost-green grey coat and Youngseo’s almost-orange camel brown one! Side by side, they’re like one stylish carrot. #ABusinessProposal
😂😂 Thanks for sharing! This was a cute interview. I bet he was like “the mood is supposed to be romantic not upbeat chaotic” but Young-seo’s character is also just chaotic in general so 😌
I started watching 18 Again with my mum, and I love the characters so far, especially Da-jung. My favourite part of episode 4 is seeing how Si-ah and Si-woo take after her independence and kindness respectively 😊
This is such a good drama.
I didn’t watch when airing because I didn’t like the premise and I thought it would be a bit dumb, but after watching Sweet Home and being so impressed by LDH, I decided to give it a try, and I can’t be happier I did. What an amazing drama with such solid acting! You won’t regret it. It only gets better.
I didn’t catch it on air either because I don’t like the iQiyi interface, then I got busy at work after it was available on Viu and Netflix. I just finished ep6 and I’m still very impressed by the pacing, plot, and the way we slowly learn more about each character! I did enjoy Lee Do-hyun’s performance on Hotel Del Luna, so that was a draw alongside the fact that the show is directed by the PD of Go Back Spouses.
I love it when dramas use visual parallels to mirror plot development 😍 (I’m back from a manga-induced drama hiatus and enjoying Please Don’t Date Him tremendously!)
His acting doesn’t feel as refined as Song Hayoon’s, but I think he was cast well. Guk-hee is shy and tentative in general, keeping his feelings close, so if there was any awkwardness in the acting I didn’t notice it much.
Yes! It’s a gem of a show and I’m glad it’s my first watch of 2021. It appeared at a time I was thinking a lot about issues of privacy, and it helped me to reflect on what I choose to share with others and how I can change that for the better by being more conscious about the space others deserve.
For how quiet it is, Do You Like Brahms? sure packs an emotional punch. I love that our leads are so observant: they see each other in a way even their close friends don’t quite seem to. The little steps they are taking towards each other feel so organic and meaningful.
I bought some Melona late last year and finally got to eating it… and it couldn’t stand up straight anymore 😶 This somehow feels fitting for what 2020 has been so far.
(P.S. In my defence, Melona aficionados, my stomach was fussy so I couldn’t eat cold food for a while. I didn’t mean to neglect my Melona thus!)
After watching a few slice of life/ rom-com dramas, I decided I wanted something more action-packed for a change. A certain Dramabeans cult favourite seemed to fit the bill 😁
I’m especially excited because the series was recapped by @javabeans. Being able to read a JB/GF recap truly elevates and completes the drama-watching experience. #Healer
That is affirmative. in homage.
(Also, @javabeans (2-10-15) recap of episode 20 (final) is still open for comments. Over 11,200 as of now. I did not watch HEALER live when is first aired (2014/15) but later in 2016. I finally posted a comment of gratitude in Jan. 2019.)
Bid farewell to this gem of a show that has charmed me for the past month and a half :’)
Billed as a fusion rom-com sageuk, Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung turned out to be so much more. It was a thoughtful exploration of the role of history and what it means to write and re-write it. It was also a kind of inverted coming-of-age tale: an ensemble of brave young characters grapple with a political reality that threatens to crush their ideals and beliefs. But instead of caving to disllusionment, they create a space for change to happen.
The show is more optimistic and light-hearted than sageuks usually are, but it gave each character, big and small, a moral weight and compelling backstory that told of the writer’s respect and affection for each of her fictional creations.
Related so hard to this scene in Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung: the girls attended their first royal court meeting, and produced illegible minutes.
Brings back memories of the first few meetings I attended as a research assistant—the researchers kept talking over each other, and my minutes had so. many. typos.
