Beanie level: Eunuch in drag

Hey everyone! How are things? Sorry it’s been almost a year since I was active here. Real life had to take front and center first. Would love to catch up though. Is the Discord server still around/active?

Before:

Mom: Hya! It’s 2 o’clock in the morning what are you doing with your laptop still on??
Me: Mom, I’m watching (insert Korean drama series here)! I’ll sleep after this episode!

Now:

Mom: Hya! Now I know why you used to sleep so late watching Korean dramas! I kept watching (insert Korean drama series here – she watches a lot! More than me XD ) and I couldn’t put my phone down! I needed to finish the episode so I know what happens next!
Me: :)))

And now, part of our mother-daughter catch up involves the series that we’re currently watching, and even the latest Korean celebrity news :))

A very late Mothers’ Day to you beanie moms and to your own moms! Happy Eid to everyone who celebrates it! Please stay safe and healthy beanies! *finger hearts*

#VincenzoEp20

I’ll reserve my comments on the last episode in the recap (if I remember to comment on it hihihi) but the most remarkable thing for me was Kwak Deong Yeon. He’s so adorkable! I used to ignore him in most episodes really but ever since he was quizzed by Chacenzo, I looked forward to his scenes. And damn, for this last episode, I kept replaying his scenes!! They’re very impactful!! It also helped that a lot of beanies have been pointing out that he’s such a great actor! I might watch Vincenzo again for the comedic scenes (love the tenants forever, and yes including Team Leader Ahn!) and KDY!

Hey lovely beanies, I’ve been reading good stuff about Jang Nara’s Sell Your Haunted House. Where do you guys watch it? I don’t think it’s in Netflix :/

      Kat!!!! It’s been a while yes! I’m good! I’ve been busy with real life in the past year (classes, working, and career). Lately I’m trying to take it easy so I came back on DB and just enjoy what I’m watching :))

      How are you??

Hi beanies! I hope you’re all well! Real life has been crazy but I’ve been reading DB posts every so often. Because of the beanies’ recommendations, I’ve been watching Vincenzo and it’s been my happy pill!!

Also, as I was reminded by Vincenzo, LOTR (all 3 films) are in Netflix AU! Woohooo!

Have a great week, lovely beanies!

Achievement: my mom has (finally!!!) decided to watch Korean drama. Her first was Marriage Contract. She\’s watching Reply1988 now. Tried convincing her to watch Hospital Playlist but after ep 1 she said it hits too close to home.

And recently she told me that she now understands why I used to stay up late watching dramas :)) (she used to get mad at me for staying up til wee hours in the morning just to finish watching :))) )

Question about Mystic Pop-up Bar Ep 12 (Spoilers in the comments)

      I think it’s Kang-bae as her son since her wish (and why she undertook the 500 years of punishment) was to her son’s soul. Though I was confused about the comment she made earlier in the episode about how the kiss from the Cinnabar wouldn’t close his spiritual vision and only solving the Sacred Tree’s grudge will…but they never solved the tree’s grudge (and also, what is the tree’s grudge – of having been killed?)…

        Her original quest, to solve 100,000 grudges, was to solve the Sacred Tree’s grudge.

        When she saved her son by letting go of his hand, she solved her own grudge, hit 100,000, made the tree happy, and closed his spiritual vision.

          What was the Sacred Tree’s grudge again? Sorry I must’ve missed it

            The sacred tree died because Weol-ju committed suicide by hanging herself from its branches. The tree would have saved 100,000 people if it hadn’t died, so Weol-ju had to make up for that by healing their grudges

    I got confused on the last grudge. I understand it’s Kang-bae… but is it he as Weoul-ju’s son or is it the Sacred Tree’s grudge?

      The last grudge that was solved was Wolju’s. She’s always blamed herself for not being able to do anything for her son (even got him cursed) but in that moment when she saved Kang-bae from Won-hyung, she resolved her grudge. She protected him and that became the final grudge she solved.

Just finished watching ep 11 of Mystic Pop Up Bar. Damn! Didnt realise that they would be the last two grudges! 24 hrs to go before the last ep!

Incredibly thankful for all the beanies who became my friends through this site and to those whom I’ve discussed some shows with, and to the dramas for giving me so much warmth and comfort! This is perhaps the most challenging (I’d like to say depressing, but it’s not so bad) birthday that I’ve had, but Ji an said it best:

I\’m watching Hyena now and Kim Hye soo is so perfect as Jam Geum-ja! I feel like she\’s (in a way) reprising her role in Signal, but she\’s sassier now!

    She is amazing in Hyena. The drama is one of the most enjoyable ones I have ever watched

Spoiler thoughts about Mystic Pop Up Bar Ep 7 in the comments

    I’ve been reading a lot of theories that Manager Gui might be the Prince. But what if he’s actually Weoul-ju’s mom? I thought about it when he said in one scene that Weoul-ju may not be aware that her mom is protecting her in the present day

      Would be great though if he is the Prince…

      I do think he’s the Crown Prince.
      He told her several times he would protect her, but he failed. So he’s by her side, knowing who she is but keeping his distance until she realises (if she does) who is he. There are many hints about this: not only the way he looks at her (not in a motherly way), but also for instance when we’ve seen him using his sword against the evil spirits. Besides, the two of them share a great chemistry.
      I’d rather he’s the Prince better than Kang Bae, because his interactions with WolJoo are more familiar like a mother-son would be.
      There are some theories aboul KangBae being the son of WolJoo and the Prince or even her mother. I’m inclined to think it’s her mother, and it would explain his ability.
      But even so, there’s still YeoRin and her own ability… where does it come from???

      I think Kang-Bae is Wol-ju’s mum. After all, she found him after throwing her mum’s hair clip…

      I think he is the prince. His gaze is more yearning than motherly love. He looks at her like he is remembering their relationship as kids. I think Kang-bae might be their son(if she was pregnant when she died).

Dear Hospital Playlist,

I\’m probably a broken record now but I\’ll say it again:

Thank you for so much bringing warmth and comfort in my heart. I knew it\’s always worth it watching you at 1 am in the morning.

Love,

Me

I\’ve been thinking lately how DB is my safe space for Korean dramas for about 1.5 years now, and how friendly everyone is in this site. Really grateful for this platform as I\’ve grown to have amazing friends here. To be honest, some sites can be more (mentally and emotionally) stressful, so thank you to the amazing team behind DB and to all lovely beanies *finger hearts to everyone* Please stay safe and healthy!!

For now, I shall (should) enjoy the ride that\’s called Hospital Playlist and just enjoy the groups\’ friendship. And I need to focus on my pending papers for graduate school too hahaha.

In the meantime, regardless of what ship will sail (if there is one that will sail at the end of S1), I\’ll enjoy this amazing video that I\’ve been waiting for the whole weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBFcRPg49xs

Yoo Yeon-seok is amazing as always <3
