Yay!!
Finally another podcast. Thank you, ladies..

Yippie!!! I literally squealed when I saw this post. What I love more than reading what you ladies write about dramas is when I hear you ladies talk about 'em! The longer the better, for me, so this is a treat! Can't wait to listen to it! Thank you!

Yay!! I will listen to it completely later but I heard the bit about Cheese in The Trap, I have to say that in my opinion the drama surpassed the webtoon. The webtoon was kind of slow and to be sincere there were times where I couldn't stand Seol in the webtoon. I give credit to the author for giving the base to the story, but I give more credit to the scriptwriter for making it what it is, she/ he is doing a great job so far.

Enjoyed listening to this podcast ... Lots of great points! As much as I liked the cat/human dynamic in Imaginary Cat, I'm not sure I would recommend it. The "dark" at the end was too dark for me!!!!

Omo! New podcast! Yay! Thanks guys, been waiting for this! :D

for some reason, even if I turn the volume up, some parts are very rather inaudible for me. maybe it would be better if I downloaded, but I have no space in my computer.

I like the long episodes of AM1988 NOW, that I am re-watching, and it is funny if you watch some scenes separately from others but in the long row of other scenes they can just disappear.
I don´t have the feeling that I have seen this before cause all the background elements and the community is so much more interwoven and every character is interesting. I think you cannot concentrate on the husband hunt if you want to enjoy it. first watching, sure, you cannot follow everything and I even forgot why and how Jung Hwans´ dads hip was hurt at some point, and got confused when did this or that happen. I enjoyed it a lot though some of the performances were better and some were a little boring for me, but I won´t risk saying it.... or I will? I just think some actors just didnt have enough weight in their emotions, you know. to be a lead, at least ... and another one has it, so, naturally...?

in the end, I really liked the drama, it is WAY way better than AM1994. I loved Taekie and his dad and their relationship. and if you think about it, Sun Woo is a great character, and him and Taek´s brother cuddles are the best.

But I DIDN´T like that they played with our fear for someones´ life, with all those pills and the paranoid feeling that Taekies´ going to pass out, please don´t do it next time, we don´t need to fear for a characters life EVERY damn episode, ok.

I wish the next installment would be about the parents´ youth! didnt even Deok Sun say it, she wants to go back to the time of her parents´ youth? Maybe that´s a hint?

Jung Hwan deserved better. That will be all.

yayyy!

Thanks for the podcast!

The way you two gushed about Awl is making me all curious about it!! Adding it to my to watch list ?

I haven't watched the two last episodes of AM1988. It might be a denial thing but I kinda lost my mood to watch it along the way. I've read the recaps, but just have not watched the episodes yet.

ooh, a podcast! Thanks! Off to listen.

Yay! Super miss podcast

Oh I'll watch AWL then!!

Oh! I'm one of those few people who was satisfied about the ending. Probably because it's the first time among the franchise that I watch as the series went on (I marathoned 94 and already knew Oppa was endgame and didn't get to watch 97) that I found it really refreshing. To each his or her own I guess?

yay another podcast! finally!

How the heck did i miss this podcast posting even though I'm constantly checking the DB blog!!??

Nonetheless - woo-hoo.Podcast! Thank you ?

How weird... I read the site every day and somehow I never saw this one go up. It was only when I noticed it listed in the CITT recap list of links.

Re: D-Day comments. I really enjoyed this Drama. Your reviewer (the only one who'd watched it) seemed to feel there wasn't enough disaster scenes and that it turned into a hospital drama. But that was the part that drew my interest so much. Seeing the variety of personalities (greedy versus altruistic) in the staff, the man/woman on the streets, the patients and the different management & government levels was eye-opening. Both the hero & the villain was the basic humanity in each of us that's broken by disaster or made to shine. Every character, big or very small, showed us how we might all react given hardship. This gave us plenty of scope for different levels of character-growth...something Korean drama does far better for me than american dramas. Listening to the reviewers talk about D-Day as well as Sassy, I got the impression they were judging these dramas through an american filter---because in an american drama there would be a lot more disaster/action scenes...or something "thrilling" (as one reviewer commented was lacking in a drama). Precisely one of the reasons I've moved away from american tv, which lately needs to shock and awe the viewer with dark cynicism mixed with calatamous events. Actually, if we had even more characters inching their way around the streets of Seoul colliding with one disastrous event after another, it might show more buildings collapsing, but the disaster, as the sole point of tension, could eventually gets so overwhelming it becomes stale. I much prefer the depth of character korean dramas offer. For me, D-Day gave me a mix of action, emotion and spectacle that was a complete package. The same happened with Sassy in trying to understand the competition for 'specs' among students seemed inconsequential but in Korea--in their culture ...this is very real. Hard to understand from an american viewpoint but also not to be judged. Sorry, just needed to get this off my chest.
