Beanie level: Errand boy

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

Me waiting for the next episode of A Business Proposal. I can’t wait to find out how Young-seo reacts to the cousin drama!

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

In-ah: “1, 2, 3, 4” *bounces around Min-kyu in a circle*
Min-kyu: “… Someone please save me”

That’s my line too, the making videos are overloaded with cuteness ;-; #ABusinessProposal

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 😊

    I love this family so much and I love Da Jung so much

    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!)

    I gave this drama a miss but I honestly like the leads. Both of them are cute

      Hmmm, I found the actor (the idol) playing the ML wooden. Or was that just me? IDK. I liked the three women leads, though.

        He definitely needs to improve his acting.

        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.

The bellboy in Hotel Del Luna has the most adorable expressions!

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!)

I often wonder just how the When the Camellia Blooms writer thought of all these iconic lines 🔥

P.S. I just realised he’s behind Fight My Way too!

My favourite over-dramatic, cheesy, gloriously heroic entrance (complete with perfect backlighting) #WhenTheCamelliaBlooms

    Kang Ha Neul has the sad puppy face locked down 🥺 Every time I see it, I get teary with him

      He really does! I’m so glad this was his comeback project. The role of Yong-shik was made for him.

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

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.

I love that Hae-ryung isn’t the only female character with spunk in Rookie Historian 😆

Rookie Historian owes so much of its humour to this pair (especially Sam-bo!)

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.

Have mercy on us minions!
