Weightlifying fairy ep15 you made me cry sooooo much. Cry cause joonhyung is crying. Cry cause next week its endinh.
Wailllssss

Happy 2017!

I'm watching the chinese version of "She was pretty" , "Pretty Li Hui Zhen" and I'm quite enjoying.

On the other hand, totally not related: did anybody also notice how EXO's Sehun is just like a long lost brother of Yoo Yeon-Seok?? They are just the same!

And I'm really sad about Bok-joo coming to an end. I love this drama so much!

Hi I am about to start some felting, but dropping by

the exhibition of Textile Artists Union is over and I fetched my 4 huge pillows today, almost got stuck in the hallways. My colleagues are such nice people, they helped me every way they could, making calls, helping me carry my stuff and driving me home. makes me feel a bit guilty. no, quite a lot. it is one of the moments when a person feels a little lucky.

since everyone is loving Weightlifting Fairy, I was wondering if you also know any South Korean sportsmen and if you have a favorite? Maybe there is someone who would also deserve to have a drama about them? who are your favorites from other countries? do you know any interesting stories with sportsmen?

I used to be a big fan of skiing and Björn Daehlie. From our own sportmen, I like Rasmus Mägi for his level-headed attitude and his respectfulness. he does hurdles and is the best sprinter we´ve had in ...well, ever.

Dramas: I finally had time for Age Of Youth. excluding too much sex talk, I dont even have to say I thought it was great. can I have a bigger girl crush of Han ye Ri though... her acting really has some sort of a magnetism that you never get distracted when she is on screen and never skip.

I am also rewatching Louie in bits when I am feeling tired.

Happy friday, Beanies! Happy tenth year, dtamabeans!

NW: Goblin and Hwarang. Still have unfinished business from last year (Signal, Squad 38, Jealousy Incarnate (I KNOW!), Moon Lovers, King Louis, Wolgyesu, Blow Breeze). Been meaning to get back in the game, but Kim Kibum keeps on distracting me. -.-'

Speaking of which. The MBC yearender was awesome. :D

Weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Joo SWAG <3 will definitely miss this drama when its over. I dont usually rewatch dramas but I have a feeling this is an exception.

Hi! Happy 2017 guys, hope the first week of 2017 went well for everyone XD

Spent the week with all cleaning and cooking, leaving for two weeks really made the house messy and the fridge depressingly empty haha.

Yesterday i watched so many of Goblin bts & casts interview it was crazy. The casts are seriously funny, down-to-earth people i laff them all.

Managed to watch 3 eps of This week my wife have an affair (what a handful title u,u) and i love this!! Everyone is so good (Lee Sangyeob is hilarious) and wondering how they will treat the affair.

Leiden is annoyingly cold despite the sunshine and i hate being outside :( Stay safe and healthy everyone!!

Happy New Year everyone! Last year was my first year of watching dramas as they aired. It was a completely different experience from binging as the wait sometimes was unbearable. I'm a bit cautious of 2017 though as I've heard many people say that 2016 was a bit of an odd year in that there were so many good dramas that were released. I hope 2017 follows suite as I feel something missing when my favourite drama at the time ends, and am happy when another fills the void.

I'm also quite happy that I was able to find this website, and Soompi. I feel like I'm the only one in my circle that enjoys dramas, and even when I recommend shows to others, they aren't nearly as hyped/interested as I am. Just reading the comments here alone is quite fulfilling.

I have a question about the site though. Would it be possible to have a series recap after the final recap. I know the series is often briefly recapped in conjunction with the final episode, but I think it would be awesome for people who were late to the party to join in the discussion for how active or inactive it might be. I don't know if it exists, but I thought it would be cool to have an actor (both male and female) page. I know Soompi has both these things already, but I think DB brings something different to the table in terms of discussion. Maybe you could have an actor bio, breakdown, analysis thing. I guess the main reason why I'm thinking about this is because I'm slightly obsessing over Nam Joo Hyuk. Sigh.

Good morning Beanies! Happy 2017! The year sounds so new and foreign now, but I'm sure we'll get used it soon.

I have to move away again today, since classes start up soon and I want to get settled first. I'm even less prepared this time than before, and I can see all the stuff I'll need to pack up all around me still. Pffft knowing me half of it will just be left behind and thrown away.

I finally separated my blogs, so the one attached to my username is now exclusively K-dramas and books. It's been a long time coming, but I've resisted because I didn't want to run two blogs. One was enough. I blame it on the New Year's resolutions.

Hwarang: Ok, does anybody else find the secondary puppy love for the queen sort of adorable? I can't help but think this drama is a strange mashup of Lord of the Rings (without magic) and a Knight's Tale. Because Soo-ho looks just adorable even if I'm terrified of the queen, and it feels very Aowyn and Faramir to me.

Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim: If the angst-buckets earlier is what brought on the adorable surgery team--and couple--then I'm ok with the angst-buckets. I do have one question about the rotating during surgery (and it could be a silly one): I know they do plan rotations... but would they plan to spin? Really?

Lobster: Tae-oh is now the best thing since ever. I remember being super impressed with JJH in the early episodes because she had such a range and no lines. But his character's just written that way! He doesn't have nearly so many scenes, yeah, but I'm still impressed. He just makes me smile.

Goblin: Now that I'm rooming with a good friend of mine, and she's almost caught up in Goblin, I foresee many fun nights in the future... Tonight.

And I guess that's it! I should really go and get ready for the day--I've started taking this Zumba-esque dance exercise class, and oh my gosh is it hard. Super fun, but hard. Happy Weekend!

Wow. I've never been so early..well that is thanks to my man who has to work damn early. Lol.

So WLFKBJ is just doing all the right things for me rn. :) Hwarang is a close second. Goblin and LOTBS are pretty even in that I'm just following along with recaps. Oh! Another fav is the darkish high-school one! I think Solomon's Perjury?? Sooooo good.

Happy new year guys! Hope it is a good one, preferably better than the last.. ??

I came across infinity challenge's latest performances. It was probably a festival to commence the year since it was posted on 31st dec. I first tried infinity/infinte challenge once but didn't find it that funny but the performances were great specially the one by Gaeko, Kwanghee ft. Oh Hyuk( who is a gem btw, why doesn't he get more osts to sing. I love voices like his).

Are there any other suggestions of such performances in infinity challenge or any good episodes. Since, RM will come to an end, I would need another show for laughs.

Question about Moon Lovers: The younger princes were like 16-18 years old at the beginning right?
So, was Baek Ah in love with his sister-in-law and contemplating marrying her at 12-13-14?

I know in the Chinese version everyone boys and girls married early but here...idk. They should have made it a platonic relationship. More believable for character and plot wise and perhaps better.

It's a bit late, but Happy New Year! Been away from db for super super long cause I've been trying to catch up on 2016 dramas but to no avail; I keep getting distracted and losing focus. Maybe I'm losing my drive again :(

Started on Solomon's Perjury during the New Year's Break, and I felt that it feels a bit slow, but I'll definitely continue watching. One disadvantage is that I'm really bad at faces, and the fact that the students are wearing the same uniform isn't helping me - I keep going back to asianwiki to match the names and the faces.

Still on Amachan, finally started on the Tokyo chapter. I'm so not into this idol thing, and I'm still not liking Yui...I want Aki to go back and dive for uni. Nonetheless, it's still addicting due to the length of its episodes.

Started on Police Unit 38 yesterday (FINALLY) and I'm getting kind of confused, but it's good so far. Hopefully I'll be able to complete it by tomorrow.

Just realised that I'll have at least 7 ongoing dramas during the next drama season:
1. Solomon's Perjury (ongoing)
2. Voice
3. Defendant
4. Introverted Boss
5. Chief Kim (maybe)
6. Rebel Hong Gil Dong (maybe)
7. Missing 9

Not sure how I will manage my time. What upcoming dramas are you guys most excited for? I'm especially looking forward to Voice.

Hello beanies!

University just started this week after the long break. So working, attending classes and watching dramas has definitely lessen my sleeping hours. Esp I watch the dramas raw and subbed! I know, I just cannot wait for a few hours for the subs. Also this is my first time to watch this many on-going dramas.

Anyways, much as I want to get more sleep I do not want WFKBJ and LotBS to end! And these two dramas had almost had the same theme every week, like kissing week, drunken week and this week was meet the mom week. xD

Happy New Year, everyone!! Here's to many wonderful dramas in the coming year.

For those still watching Behind Your Smile , has anyone noticed how much Marcus Chang looks like Hu Ge? At least to me, he does. A lot. The resemblance is so uncanny. A lot of the facial expressions are similar too.

Hello beanies! Long time no see.

I miss haning out in the OT but haven't been able to due to work in a lng time.
Not much news happening here, though I'm currently down with a knee inury. Fun times. At least it let me chach up to dramas! How are you all?

Goblin: I love this show. Especially the goblin/reaper interaction. SO.MUCH.FUN! And I like that there seems to be some rules in this universe, even if all f them haven't been shown ut (in regards to the goblin's bride and drawing the sword).

Weightlifting fairy: I am lagging a bit behind on this drama. It's cute, but while I like it and watch it I'm not addicted.

The Miracle (2016): So I did see this webdrama although I initially felt a bit iffy about the plot. In the end it was qute, although I think they could have done more with it. Then again it was a fluffy thing that tried to have a STORY and yet not.

Hey Beanies!

I haven't been around Open Thread in awhile and decided to check in. Happy New Year everyone!

So this has probably been the fullest my drama watching schedule had ever been. I'm basically watching shows Monday-Sunday. Ridiculous, I know. I promised myself I would ease up on my drama watching this year because I have been on 10 for the past year. I will attribute that to the fact that I had just discovered Korean dramas though. lol

I'm a bit sad because Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo is over next week and I can't deal! I love this show to pieces. And Oh My Geum-bi! That little girl just warms my heart. The adults can kick rocks but that little girl is so awesome. She wrecks me week after week.

So this is what my weekly drama schedule looks like right now:

Mon/Tues: Romantic Doctor Kim, Hearing
Wed/Thurs: The Legend of the Blue Sea, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Oh My Geum-bi
Fri/Sat: Goblin
Sun: Empress Ki (or whatever drama I want to watch that I didn't while it was airing)

It's pretty crazy I know! When the new dramas air, I keep saying I won't watch them all but I know that's a lie. Lol

Can we just talk about how swaaaag the WFKBJ OST is though? I usually prefer ballads but boy, this drama's OST makes me want to dance and do jazz hands and I feel like I might combust with happiness whenever I put it on!!!

Hi! Happy New Years!!

I can't wait to start some new dramas that are starting very soon while being hooked on Goblin and Weightlifting fairy and Legend of Blue Sea!

I'm posting for the friend of a friend...who needs help identifying a Drama.

This one seems vaguely familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Also I think the thing she forgot in the car was a planner not a passport from a hazy drama memory but I could be wrong!

"Well the only thing i could gather was this girl has this backpack, gets in a fight with some guy in the street, these 3 guys come up, and i'm not sure if they were kidnapping her or beating up on the guy fighting her, but she keeps dropping things. Another scene happened with this guy who just sits in this taxi, this girl had jumped in on the other side, the guy was like uh... hi? and she just jumps out after getting to some destination, and he finds her passport or something on the seat. After that i didn't get a chance to watch much more, and i haven't seen it since to get more info. I'm sorry for the vague information but maybe you can help?"

Let me know if anyone knows this drama!

Watching

​

Hi all:

Just looking in to say the only dramas giving me kdrama joy are/were: 7 First Kisses, Goblin, and Shining Eun Soo aka Still Loving You. They are simply perfection. Perfection of fluff (7 first kisses), perfect balance of silliness and angst (Goblin) and perfection of addiction (Still Loving You.)

I have so much joy especially with Still Loving You. Seriously good.

The others are okay (Weight-lifting), meh (Hwarang), uninspiring (Night Light), unaddictive (Legend of Blue Sea), or unfinished. Awaiting the new batches/season.

Have a great weekend, all.

I just watched white Christmas and liar game. Actually ,I am really confused with white christmas 's ending i mean did the bexome monsters or not I also read the recap of the last episode and the comments but i cant seem to get it..
Anyway, any recommendations for dramas with the same genre?

Questions:

1
Any Korean entertainment dreams recently?

2
How do you feel about Netflix dipping into Asian entertainment?
Do you have any preferences of how it is done? - like the jdrama? Or is the tdrama better? Basic stories or complicated?

3
I asked this last week but only got 1 answer so I though I'd ask again.
How long do you keep coming back to OT? And does it depend on potentially continuing conversation?

Media this week

Korean:
ML - on ep 16
Didn't watch as such as last week. But omo, they killed Baek! I'm so mad, sad, jaded, you name it. But whoa is evil Hong Jong Hyun my aesthetic. Maybe I'll get to finish today.

Lobster - next ep 14
Behind again. I don't know if I suspect Chi Hyun or Nam Doo for the Joseon kill. Tae-oh is still such a sweetheart. I'm warming up to a loveliness between him and miss delusional, especially because she's not delusional when it comes to him because he gave her much reason to believe he's obsessed with her. "Saranghae, Noona!"

7 First Kisses - done
Minho's ep was disappointing but also cute. So I'd how I feel about the drama as a whole. It was an ad. We knew that. It told some funny stories. And she got a guy to progress with in the end.
If not for LEE MIN HO, I'd have chosen Kaikai

WF - on ep 11
Still so cute. I'm glad they are dealing with her depression/slump period so beautifully. Joon Hyung pretty much proposed and she was oblivious. Hopefully, I'll finish with everyone on Wednesday.
Jisoo puppa!!!!! Ftw! "Work oppa!"

FantasiC - next ep 12
Still watching for Jisoo & the ahjussi-deul.

Flower Boy Next Door Special - they made fun of the real-life consequences an accidental fall kiss would cause, concussion, busted lip, the like.
I think I'll rewatch this drama soon. It gave me such life back in 2013 when I was a bit lost.

Japanese:
Good Morning Call - next ep 6
Glass lip - next ep 3
My Little Lover - next ep 2
I like this drama

Taiwanese:
Miss in Kiss - next ep 7
I'm starting to become a real fan of this version.

Western:
Fuller House - next ep 9

Music:
Avril Lavigne
