Hi there.

ah I dunno what to talk about.

maybe a couple of new funny things from the museum first. there was this swedish guy who came yesterday who was very upset we don´t speak swedish even though Estonia was part of Swedish Kingdom in the 1600ies. LOL. And then we discovered that a "sloop" as in a ship was translated into finnish as "magnifying glass" (suurennuslasi). there was a third but I don´t remember.

been watching She Was Pretty, Sassy Go Go and started Awl, which I really like, I knd of connect more to that kind of world than the office setup.
SWP has somehow run out of steam a bit. Like the train is moving slowwwwwly into the station. even Siwons antiques look a little tired. Maybe he doesnt have enough to do.
Sassy Go Go is sweet and all, but those woes are so far from me I feel like yeah, good for you, kids, but real life, you know.
I was thinking there are so many possible scenarios and we don´t know which ones and why were discarded before the writer and the PD came up with the scenes we see. same thing with having the same characters placed in a different setup. what if Most was not a fashion magazine but an agency for unusual models?
how to give something a fresher twist, I was thinking. cheerleading, yeah, but what if you have cheerleading team who is handicapped. how are they crossing their barriers?

task: take a set of characters and place them in a different environment, what happens? same types, different conditions

The Taiwanese drama I am Sorry, I Love You (aka My Ghost Friend) almost killed me this week. (Think Oh My Ghostess and genderflip it so you have a suave ghost helping a geeky but hot nerd try to get with the girl he likes, who is the ghost's former girlfriend. Possession only happens occasionally for just a few moments, mostly it's more like an invisible friend cheering on a guy with no self-confidence. Bromance level is at 11/10.) There was a huge twist this week which I won't say but I'm wrekt, wrekt! And nobody to talk to about it since I don't know of a forum similar to this for T-dramas.

I'm waffling on starting Bubblegum. Does it have any meat to it? It just looked too fluffy for me. I have yet to start up D-Day even though I was originally planning to. Is that one going well?

I just realized that the male lead of Frog Prince(tw drama) is Ming Dao. All this while, I thought it was Ethan Ruan. Lol.

Awl - Now this, I like. Ok, so I didn't find the plot interesting at first. But somehow, I was drawn to it and watched the premiere. And now I need more! It hasn't taken my heart like Jang Geu-rae did on the first ep. But I like the show for being realistic yet not so painful(I wouldn't have been able to go through the heart-wrenching eps of Misaeng without that prologue). I like the characters(all of them, in fact). The main reason, probably, is that there are no villains, just (villainy?)humans. And I like how our reluctant hero isn't the only awl in the drama. But, I guess, what I like about it is also what I don't like about it. I don't know, there's something missing and I can't point it out. Oh well, the grasshopper shall be patient. It has only been two eps after all.

I Am Sorry, I Love You - Ugh. Why? I knew it was coming since ep 1. And now they've done it. Why can't besties just be besties? I'm getting tired of the love polygon and the not-so-mysterious mysteries.

What's Up - Put it on hold a while ago. But I'm back. And I might start Tamra soon despite my allergy to sageuks(it's all your fault IJH)

Bubblegum - Sweet, warm and funny. Just the way I like it. Any more dramas like this? Of course, except that drama that should not be named.

I should stop putting dramas on hold 3/4 into the dramas. And I should not make a habit of putting finales on hold(I should go and see the last ep of School 2015 and Padam Padam). Oh and there's Healer and about a ton of other dramas too. Worse is, I like most of the dramas(some I love). I blame my short attention span. Well, I'm off to binge-watching the rest of The Genius S4.

I feel like I'm on pins and needles this week. I couldn't enjoy the current dramas I watch, so I re-watched The Devil, IRY, KMHM and Faith (yeah, for all the good and glory of the wooldachi's general). I marathon-ed those in 6 days resulting dark circles under my eyes. Haaa, how I long for the time to marathon a drama, get sleepless night and have panda eyes the next day.

After IRY ends, I feel none of the drama I watched could hook me. I watch almost everything but all fleetingly. Guess I'm in drama crisis right now. Any suggestion of good-meaty drama to watch, dear friends?

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well today. ....... Halloween is tomorrow! If you celebrate, have a fun, candy-filled holiday!

Watched this week:

Hwajeong - 4 more episodes left to watch!

Yong-pal - Finally finished this. ....... It was ok. Just don't get me started on the little details the writer forgot about, or thought the viewer forgot about.

Village: Secret of Achiara - Watched parts of the first 2 episodes. ....... I don't know about this yet, but I will say it's doing a good job of transmitting that "creepy" vibe.

She Was Pretty - Just started this. Love it so far! It has some goofy, laugh out loud moments.

That's about it for now. ........ Everyone take care and have a great Friday!

Hello beanies...

-SASSY GO GO: Okay, I'm still confused about Hajoon's feeling. But I'll presume it's on purpose from the writer. Because mostly, I think even Hajoon himself is still confused about what he feels toward Yeondoo. Now that there are only 4 eps left, I want some Dongjae's story since the writer kind of abandoned him in the last 2 eps. I want to know why he is afraid of human touch and how he will resolves his ordeal.

-SHE WAS PRETTY: I love the way the writer handle the girls' problem. They really talk about what has gone wrong between them, apologize, and truly support each other. I am also impressed that Hari want to start anew without her father's connection anymore. Now that her problem with Hyejin all resolved, I would love to see her found a new love life.

QSD was an epic.

Today I finally able to watch Sassy Go Go episode 8. Really cannot wait for next week's episode. The hug at the end, I know Seo Ha Joon is a good guy, but cant help to be a little bit disappointed with the writer *because I wished it was Kim Yeol that hug Yeon Do*. Ha Joon can have a little crush on his newfound friendship, but I dont want to see him sad later. Can Ha Joon and Yeon Doo be like best buddy or something, without anything beyond friendship? It just so heartwarming to see Kim Yeol-Yeon Do-Ha Joon's relationship.

As this drama is nearing its end, at this point everything makes me nervous especially the potential new love line/love triangle and the parents relationship.

But I dont want to see this drama to end!

p/s: Is it true next week they gonna air only one episode? Is it confirmed?

Watched two K movies.

Why Has Bodhidharma Left For The East and Harmony.

Watching: 6FD, Master Of Trade ,SWP, Village and Dazzling Temptation .

Watching C drama Nirvana In Fire

Greetings from Shanghai, Beanies!
Is anyone watching the TW drama Bromance?
I just finished ep 2 and can't wait for the next one! it's cheesy and predictable but somehow I find it hilarious instead of off-putting, also really love the heroine, she's the most convincing cross-dressing girl I've seen in a drama I think

Hello all:

Hope everyone is doing well.

Had an interesting time at ESL. We talked about the lifting of the one-child policy. The Chinese women were mockingly against the lifting of the band. The Korean, American, and Japanese folks were for it. The Chinese women talked about it being an economic issue and one lady assured everyone that she only had her second child (they migrated to then lived in Singapore and now in the US) because her first child wanted a sibling. The rest of us were like: The ban on more than one children caused an imbalanced population with more boys than women. There was a rise in female infanticide (before and after birth), there were disabled children cast away, there were forced abortions on women who got pregnant with a second child, there was a rise in brothels, rapes, and female kidnappings, there was a generation of only children who lived alone with no equal to talk to and who spent tons of times in internet cafes because they only had stressing parents at home, there is a whole generation of kids who have to take care of dying parents and dying grandparents. And the Chinese women looked shocked. Clueless. As if they had never heard all of that. Very interesting.

She was pretty: What the heck is going on with the plot? Shouldn’t this show end at 12 episodes? I seriously do not want any extra muddling through pseudo-drama going on. Is this all about the magazine now? Or about the girls’ friendship? Or is our heroine fated for rich chaebol? Then the writers should’ve woven the plot better. Yeah, everyone's being honest and all but there just seems to be no pressing/suspenseful plot thread to hold onto. Does heroine have to learn to stop being there for our wounded litte boy? (or for any of her friends, for that matter?)

Glamorous Temptation: Quite seriously the BEST makjang I’ve seen in ages. The heroine is smart, the hero and heroine are communicating somewhat. And even though the heroine is doing something brave and dangerous, we know she has no other chance to do it. Plus all the back..stories are worthy of exploring. And the themes and sub-themes of obsession, self-deception, delusion, self-righteousness in the face of guilt, self-recrimination, false guilt, true guilt, and flat-out wrong judgment….oh I am in makjang heaven. When a makjang is good, it is really good! This is my drama crack

Flying Dragons: Oh my! The gravitas just gets more and more gravitasy. Yoo Ah in is seriously sexy. The love story is wonderful…slow moving but organic. Love our little wanna be swordsman. Waiting for my Byun Yo Han to show up. Great cast all around. Do I hear award season calling?

All About Mom: Am firmly hooked on this story. So many lies, so many unfoldings of truth and lies. I had hoped hero’s mom would give heroine more of a benefit of the doubt. And I suppose the writer showed her as trying to be fair but yeah…she’s too wounded by life to be fair when it comes to losing her son, especially to a...
