Haha, aww, can totally relate ^_^

I always pack myself and hire movers if it's within the same city...but I've also made my life highly mobile lol

I have no problem choosing what to watch because I watch nearly all of them. (Not that I'm trying to boast anything here.....I really have a lot of time on my hands these days). So this influx of a lot of new dramas that have me hooked is a welcoming change. I'm practically giddy spreading out 12+ hours of dramas in one week.

Genre mash is fun but I wouldn't like for it to be complete trend. Sometimes straight-up spy thriller is good enough.

I thought I was the only one overwhelmed with so much new dramas to watch. However, I still can't pick out my new crack drama.

I know what you mean girls! I have the exact same thing with alot of decisions in life.

Again a fun odds and ends, thanks a bunch!!

In my deepest addiction days, I could not imagine a cure, lately I have seen a glimmer of light and think Dramas can be watched in moderation as a part of a otherwise full life. But blogging, on the other hand ...

You girls have the perfect storm of family, kdrama, and blogging all intertwined with Korea. That is why I think your depth of addiction is worse than the rest of us mere amateurs.

We did have way too many premieres lately. There was Triangle, DS, YAS with BM and ANL just 2 weeks in. That's insane!

On the other hand - I actually find that all dramas these days have more or less the same genre. So I just pick the one that looks good from the promos/have actors I like/or has great reviews. That would be Angel Eyes and You're all surrounded. Tried Doctor Stranger but too crazy for me. I'll probably continue for now, but half the time I'm rolling my eyes and that's not a good sign.

I'm so watching Surrounded by Witch Leaves and Big Crosses in a Strange Triangle with you!

I just make a list of currently airing drama that I would like to watch, along with the Dorama (turned out Japanese TV also decides to hold a party of awesome drama releases) and realised that I have FIVE episodes to watch every Monday. I need to steal someone's time for all of these. Seriously.

Easier having someone tell you what to watch, when to eat, etc.?
You're describing a nursing home, or better yet - jail.
Embrace the chaos - the healthier choice!

My blog and drama worlds got mashed up this week - I've been watching "Lovers" with Seo Jinnie and saw Javabeans credited as the main and spot translator!

I'm only watch A New Leaf right now. I think that's the only one which struck me as interesting out of all the others. I don't have any fangirlish crush on any of the male leads in the currently airing dramas so I'm basing my decision solely on plot. Anyway, I think all spy-related dramas are a pain in the ass so I'm never going to watch any of them. I've been reminiscing about some the "old school" dramas though; I grew up watching TVB dramas and some of the classics are still really really good to watch. I'm catching up on Never Dance Alone and it has been interesting and also cool to see the past goddesses appearing on screen again.

I could totally relate to it.
I wanted to watch every premiered dramas out there but I decided it's impossible.
Now I watch Doctor Stranger, YAAS, and A New Leaf.
From the 3, I love A New Leaf right now more than others.
It's surprisingly funny show, esp in ep 3 and 4. I literally giggling each and every time and having KMM as the male lead def won't hurt.
I never know there will come the day when I love MBC shows over this few months, EK and ANL.
Sadly, Dr.Stranger and YAAS still have strange mish-mash of genres and makes me confused even though I love the cast.

This is why I read dramabeans. I read a few recaps before watching a drama. Totally a wuss way out of choosing but I only have time for a few dramas.

It was nice to see a the pictures of Lee Ji-Ah from Beethoven Virus and Athena: Goddess of War.

You are not alone ladies...

I think many of us have asked the question “THIS is my life? Oh god how is this the entirety of my life?” in the midst of moving. Moving (all the packing and unpacking) things can be overwhelming. It forces one to take stock of all the stuff and useless items one has amassed over time.

"the one nice thing about drama dry spells is that it encourages you to give things a try that you might’ve skipped over otherwise."---Javabeans

During this drama dry spell, I recently completed Time Between Dog & Wolf.

"And then there are others that you might be halfway through watching just passively because there was nothing else to watch..."--Girlfriday

I started and stalled on 1% of Anything (Episode 2) and Que Sera Sera (Episode 1). I am passively watching Angel Eyes, A New Leaf, and Hotel King (only for the reteaming of Lee Dong-Wook and Lee Da-Hae).

On the fence about Big Man and Doctor Stranger at the moment.

Kim Ji-Hyeok and So Mi-Ra are the OTP in Big Man. Oh how I wish this wasn't the case and that Kim Ji-Hyeok and Kang Jin-Ah were the OTP. Because whenever Kang Ji-Hwan and Jung So-Min appear on screen together they just ooze chemistry. Their undeniable chemistry is not forced down our throats or manipulated upon us like several of the "romantic/falling in love" scenes with Kang Ji-Hwan and Lee Da-Hee. Finally, it looks like we will soon see more of Daniel Choi in the upcoming episodes since his character Kang Dong-Seok is no longer in a coma.

I have no complaints with the acting and performances of Lee Jong-Suk and Kim Sang-Joong in Doctor Stranger.

My issue is with what the writer Park Jin-Woo and the director Jin Hyeok have presented to viewers so far. From some of the plot holes; to the suspension of disbelief [Apparently you can blatantly buck the system and boldly say what you will and will not do when you live in a de facto power state (regime) like North Korea] required with the actions of certain characters and events; to the historical inaccuracies shown as truth; and their decision to creatively and artistically gloss over the militarized and totalitarianism of North Korea in many of the scenes in the storyline is definitely jarring. Not yet feeling invested in the OTP Park Hoon and Song Jae-Hee.

Because none of the aforementioned dramas really sealed the deal and/or avoided boring me, I did question whether I had made the right drama choices.

Although Witch's Romance seems to have good reviews, I haven't watched it yet. I just haven't really been in the mood to watch a remake of the original Taiwanese version My Queen. Of course, with kdramas you end up walking a fine line with time and trying not to miss out on something good when its airing.

I'm so glad that I checked out Golden Cross and You're All Surrounded. Both dramas are entertaining and have...

My family moved a lot. Due to various reasons. It used to be fun. When we had a maid. The last time we moved we didn't have someone to help us. So literally on the day of moving we just threw everything in boxes and labeled each box with our name. We only managed to properly pack the glassware and the kitchen stuff. Which took 2 full days to wrap every damn thing with newspaper.

My advice, take a week off. Pack 7days worth of clothes and toiletries and pack the rest. The danger is to fall into the pit of "but I'll need this later or tomorrow or the day after.". Also, you can always go to a motel if you feel the overwhelming stress of the mess of the 10 years worth of hoarding coming out of the walls and then just cry.

I was in the unknown state when i decided to move out from the flat i used to share with some friends for many years..the feeling was just so.overwhelming.

i tried hard not to yell out when i saw all the boxes, scrambled notes to be plastered on the boxes, and i was exhausted..days by days to pack!
still, i couldn't help but thinking too, “THIS is my life? Oh god how is this the entirety of my life?” lol

still, again,now i missed my old flat, my housemates (we were having regular Mon-Thurs watching KDrama on the telly together..sob. )..and i don't know, the tons and tons of memories.. ;)

ok, i'm only faithfully watching Wonderful Days/Wonderful Season these days, not interested to watch other dramas on regular basis. having said that, it's weekend, so I'm off to embrace the Lee Seo Jin's dimples, HA. as to you all, let's embracing the life chaos, it is healthy!!

take care everyone!
