My new obsession is without a doubt Chief Kim,it's an exemple of a drama and comic done right,so witty and funn,just my style...The tag game between Chief Kim and Yool is by far my most favorite part,seeing Yool having those meltdowns is soo hilarious,along with the "Lifesaver" parts...Watching Hwarang as well mainly for Park Seo Joon and how Sunwoo journey will end...The weekend comes with another jem aka Voice and ending it with Tomorrow with You...Keeping a watch on Saimdang but the drama isin't quite for me,more intrested in the present timeline rather than the main focus...Having Introverted Boss on my list but keep delaying it for some reason....Anticipating Strong Women Dong Bong Soon so badly!

been looking forward to introverted boss; i havent watched it yet, is it worth the time?

OKAY I'm not gonna forgive Javabeans rn if Yeon Woojin x Seo Hyunjin never happen.......... Thank you for incepting such a wonderful and torturing idea (or dream) in my mind. So, dramagod, what are those offerings I need to prepare for this to happen?

i'm obsessed with tomorrow with u right now. It's been a while I really want to watch a drama pure because of romance story.

Watching Dear My Friends with my mother...and Laica, you will have to get to it someday.. :) it's just so good and I love the conversations I get to have with my mother afterwards. This was the perfect drama to watch with her..she just connects with it so well and so do I, as her daughter. Grandmothers, mothers, daughters..its about all of us and I love it. <3

First thirty minutes of Episode 5 -- THIS is what Introverted Boss should've been. A shy boss with a crush on his friend gets helped by his secretary whom he later falls in love with. Hwan Ki and Ji Hye were adorable together. Their chemistry had me shipping him with a dead person. Pity the story went from 0 to 100 real quick. Suicide just turned the whole thing too dark. How guilty is Ro Woon going to feel for crushing on her sister's "killer"? Woo Il is unforgivable. Han Chae Ah should've been the lead, while Park Hye Soo should've been sidelined as the little sister. Now that I've got a glimpse of what could have been, I lament the wasted potential.

Weightlifting Fairy: This drama has my heart! This one just earned a place in my fave list. Thoughtful, well-written characters and a perfect execution of the story, it made me feel everything they were feeling - the tears, the laughter, the embarassment. And so many squeeeee worthy moments that I had to keep pausing the scenes so I can take a moment to hug something and let it out. I loved Joong Hyun and by extension, Nam Joo Hyuk - he was just right for the role. LSK  was wonderful, she totally went all-out for her role, she reminds me of how Go Ara did the same in R94. Kudos to the writer for the dialogue too cos they were awesome! Most memorable ones were the "too-faced" convo with Si Ho, delivered with utter disgust and contempt - man how many times did I want to see a heroine actually have a biting retort! And that scene when JH told BJ that how can she expect someone to love her when she's ashamed of herself? Urgh. And what I think is the best kind of love is one that comes from friendship - Joon Hyung was just so sweet! And when he confessed? Gahh, I just melted! So earnest in his emotions and the more heart-warming. For something light on plot, there was nothing fluffy about it. Every mundane action/words were an enhancement to the characters' personalities. I want my own JH too!

This Week My Wife: Because I lingered so much on WFKBJ, I started this a little later than I intended. This show too is one of the best I've ever watched. First thing I noticed was how deft the directing is, so precise and efficient but never sacrificing content. And I can def see what the reviews were saying as to the PD/writer's ingenuity in the juxtaposition of humourous scenes with the angst, which surprisingly doesn't at all negate the angst as we feel what the characters are feeling. It prevents it from going into heavy melodrama territory but still retaining depth. Idk how they do it but it was really an experience watching it. It reminds me of Hwa Shin in JI, but it was deeper. Like when LSK and LSY had the whos-the-most-pitiful drinking session, I had tears cos my heart hurt for them while laughing out loud. But the PD also knows when to focus on the angst when needed. I love the execution in how parallel different scenes were in being exactly apt for HW's predicament, even the netizens comments. The characters were so compelling and were well acted. We see how Hyun Woo reacts and make seemingly bad choices or say the wrong things to SY but still understand where he's coming from. I was also drawn to So Yeon and I was amazed as to how we're not shown her thoughts at first but rather her actions which was effective in making me understand why she did what she did. Not to justify but to understand.The dialogue too isn't afraid to be direct and honest which makes it so realistic. I loved LSK and LSY in this! Esp LSY, so emotional he had enough for both him and Hyun Woo. Plus the reference to Signal and how he just became creepy in an...

Missing 9: Man the way the story constantly gives you pieces of the whole truth is crazy in a good way even if its drives you mad. You never know what will happen next. You think things are going the way wich you predicted but suddenly things go the other way around when the truth is relieved or when more survivors enter the scene in the present.

The uninhibited island is not the greatest enemy humans are.

So sad too many people are sleeping on this one TT

I heard Introvert Boss is 20 episodes @.@

JUST finished Signal. Um... there's gonna be a second season, right?

Watching:

Tomorrow with you: i dismissed it at first because i was afraid that the plot would rely too much on the romance, but then fell miserably because Lee Je Hoon and time travel do that to me.
I like a lot that the show so far is as much about the sci-fi and mystery than the love story and isn't afraid to look dark at times.
Though i don't believe it will explore more those supernatural elements. I expect it to slowly let go of the twists and focus more on the characters and what seems to be the heart of the drama: how a person whose life has been influenced and transformed by tragic and brutal death can move on from grief and guilt and start anew, after being healed by love.

At this point, the time travel is for me just a symbolic representation of the mental blockage that the hero is experiencing after living such a violent trauma/shock. Something that he "created" to escape the unbearable solitude and void of his present and his incapacity to let go while wanting intensely to move on, on an unconscious level.

The best scene of the show was without doubt for me in episode 3 when Lee Je Hoon's character stated to his friend's father in the car that he would never be able to let go of the Namyeong incident. I loved the delivery: it was packed with conflicting feelings (hurt because the wound is still open despite the time passed,, commitment to never forget and despair to not be able to move on) said in the right tone.

I really love those kind of positive stories where people are allowed to change their life, so i pray that the drama will take this road and if so i'll stay even though i'm not completely convinced by the writing and acting.

Lee Je Hoon and Shin Min Ha are nailing their characters and have excellent chemistry. She's especially good at comedy and he's the most credible when he plays intense scenes. They are a perfect duo and i root for them, while not feeling very invested in the rest of the show.

Kudos too the director who is showing a lot of creativity, spoiling us with beautiful and charming scenes.

Voice: I wish that the show would have taken time to develop more the relationship between the heroine and the hero, especially after he saved her life last week, instead of jumping from one story to the other.
They barely talk to each other, and when they do it's only about work. His son has disappeared from the plot and she seems to have no social life. Is it too much to ask that the little bond they develop with difficulty doesn't rely exclusively on the pressure from work?

I still don't get how the heroine got all her informations about the kettleballs killer: where, when and why he met Dong Chul and killed him but i decided to let go of of those plotholes and accept it just like i accept that korean cops can only be incompetent or corrupted

I'm still enjoying Lee Hana's performance and the creepiness of the stories, though i wish women...

Currently watching The Rebel and Saimdang, sadly, I'm moreeee into Rebel's story, and agreed that dad's story was so great! It made me cried like a baby and the cinematography also beautiful ine. Meanwhile Saimdang only made me jealous with LYA's beauty, that's it

Looks like I'm very in tune with javabeans and girlfriday with this recent round of dramas. Loving Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People and Tomorrow with You. And currently hanging on to Introverted Boss because I love Yeon Woo-jin's character just that much. He totally is the male Seo Hyun-jin, grounding the whole show and refusing to let me go. I would love if they did a drama together. He had such good chemistry with Han Chae-ah too (when will she be the lead?!). Other than that, I rewatched the Princess's Man and was reminded why I loved it so much the first time around. I can't wait for Strong Woman Bong Soon to start!

My new favorite show is Chief Kim! It's the one I run to watch every Wednesday and Thursday. Namgoong Min is just wonderful and Junho is really impressive. It's weird and funny and cracktastic.

I'm keeping up with Hwarang, though I'm honestly only in it for the bromance anymore. The main romance I don't care about. It's a messy show, but the eye candy is nice and the boys are doing what they can with the script.

I'm on the fence about continuing past episode 1 of Defendant and Tomorrow with You. Both were good and I love the actors, but I never felt the urge to watch the next episode... Anyone want to share their opinion? I haven't read the recaps or the open thread for fear of spoilers, in case I do decide to pick up these two shows.

Voice: For a cop k-drama, it is good which means it's really just okay. Still have to go to Western tv or J-dramas for my cop fix.

General and I: Back on track and finishes up next week.

Behind Your Smile: It brings the smexy but still too long for the story it wants to tell.

Father I'll Take Care of You: The cousins, their moms and the conflicted "bad" guy. That's what I'm watching for now but it could change week to week.

Checking out Way Way Love after catching Mike He and Rainie Yang in Devil By My Side. I think I'll be sticking with this one....only on episode 3 though.

Just watching Hwarang right now...Yes it's that kind of show where you can see its flaws but still really enjoy watching. It's like the more I watch the more I see what's wrong with it but the more I still want to watch it. It just keeps growing on you. It's not the best but there is definitely something special about this show that just tugs at your heart. At the end of each episode I am happy and yes want more too, but am not obsessively addicted, so good balance.

I feel like my drama schedule is quite empty these days comepared to what it was a month ago. I used to have at least one new episode to watch each day of the week haha (don't judge). Now I'm only watching Tomorrow With You (which I just started), Introverted Boss and of course The Return of Superman.I watched the first two episodes of Hwarang but wasn't motivated enough to keep up with the newer episodes. Gotta step my game up lol

When I watched Han Chae Ah cameo in Introverted Boss, I remember how awesome she was in Gaksital. I miss Rara. She should reunite with Joong Won or Park Ki Woong later. I wanr to rewatch Gaksital particularly in Han Chae Ah's scene. She was fabulous in Gaksital. Sad that it is hard for her to gain good roles.

Introverted Boss - the show should better start at epi 5. Some damage already done, so nothing can be done. Hopefully the upcoming episodes will be better and better. I like PaRk Hye Soo and want to continue to like her, so hopefully next time she can do secondary roles first until she gain the confidence and skill to be a leading lady.

Love Chief Kim and Tomorrow With You so much.

What i watched this past week

Drama:
Hwarang: Still enjoy the show despite its flaws.

Shopping King Louie: Why i am very late recognizing this very cute and sweet show? Hmmm maybe because lately I've been developing chaebol-phobia, especially their conspiracy and politics in company. I thought SKL would be full of that so i stayed away, but i was wrong. I came to watch it after read comment on one of DB articles that it's not like that at all. I'm glad finally i watch it.

Variety show:
New Journey to the West S3 : I like it so much, it's very funny. I haven't watched the 2 seasons before it, maybe I'll watch them sometimes later. Ah back to the season 3, i really like the members, especially the same age bro Kyuhyun and Jaehyun. Their bromance is just so sweet. BTW why they are called "YB hyungdel" by Minho? What YB is mean?

Hwarang: Dear writer-nim. I don't know why I still stubbornly hold out hope that this drama would do something great. I know it was futile now that we only have 4 eps left. Now, I only hope that you will write a finale that makes sense. Please don't make me regret those 20 hours I've spent with your characters. Sincerely, Dissappointed yet hopeful viewer.

Tomorrow with You: It's melancholic, yet still managed to be heart warming and also a bit funny. Love it.

Hwarang: I promised to drop this and then that cliffhanger ending happened. Dang it.

Chief Kim : I hope dramabeans will be recapping this! It seems to be a lighthearted drama yet there are several layers to our antihero Kim and the arrogant Seo Yul. It's farcical, it's hilarious, it's refreshing. Junho got himself a new fan (of his acting, I don't like kpop).

Rebel: If these four episodes are anything to judge by, this has the makings of a great drama. It is grounded in human characters and interactions that sweep aside cliches. If you like solid sageuks you should check this out. Period.

The only K-Drama that I'm watching is "Tomorrow with you" but for me is J-Dramas that are capturing my attention. After a long Hiatus "6 years" of leaving J-Dramas because they became outdated for my taste they are Back and Stronger than ever. In-fact they are the source of my Current "Crack Drama Obsession"!!!

If you want to Jump into the Awesome "Crack Drama Obsession" Train with me I recommend watching following Titles:

1. "Totsuzen Desu ga, Ashita Kekkon Shimasu"/
Even Though It's Sudden, We're Getting Married Tomorrow

2. "Tokyo Tarareba Musume" / Tokyo "What If" Woman

3. "From Five to Nine"

4. "Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu" / We Married as a Job

Chief Kim: is an entertaining show i love everything about it the writing is brilliant and the dialogues are perfect.
I love it whenever NGM and Yul are in one scene, also I started to like the female lead she has strong character.

Voice: love it despite the plot holes.

Father I'll take care of You: i still don't like Jeong Eun character despite that they toned her down a bit but still she's childish. Her mom meeting the possible father was funny.

Introverted Boss: i HATE WI never hated a second male lead this much, WR still not convincing as the love interest, i wish it had been the secretary.

Defendat: my favorite show i love JS, can't wait for him to run out of prison.

Missing 9: it's getting better i am impressed with choi tae joon's brilliant acting.

Tomorrow with you: i like LJH here more than Signal.

Starry Night, Starry Sea: starting on this Chinese drama about a merman the plot is good but the female lead is acting silly.

Voice: i love this drama so much, and i dont get why this drama has a lower ratings.

Defendant: This is the must drama i should watch on Mon-Tue. i'll be regret if i missed it LOL

Missing 9: Even CTJ's charactor as an annoying psychopath, he successfully brightener up his character for SM's drama. lol

Tomorrow with you: It so sad that LJH drama this time not getting any hit, as the drama getting a lower rating compare to his previous drama, Signal. what a pity.

Hwarang: 4 more episodes to go, If Sunwoo endup be the king, the drama gonna be tragic af.

Lastly bout Cheif Kim, i dont find its interesting at all, boring af... i dropped it after ep1 LOL

Watching: General and I, 10 Miles Peach Blossom. (Dramafever, why are you so slow in episodes.)

I will start watching Chief Kim tonight to see if I like it. Pass Missing 9 and dropped TWY. I might watch Voice and Defendant later. I will wait until they finished all episodes so I can marathon it.

watching missing 9 (defendant too but im a little behind on the episodes) rn and it's so captivating/appropriately frustrating, it really highlights how scary humans can be (ok just one human tbh) in comparison to normally scary natural situations i.e tidal waves and deserted islands, really sad to watch at times but im waiting for the baddie to get his comeuppance (he has to!!!!)

Was happy to see variety shows mentioned hehe and out of the currently airing ones, my favourite New Journey to the West :)

Currently airing ones that I watch: 1N2D, NJTTW, Knowing Brother and WGM

1N2D most recent episode was a little less funny (maybe because the event weren't that interesting, maybe the PD and writers should step up a bit with the planning?) but I still stick by it out of loyalty for the cast (JJY is back yay), though honestly I miss Yoo PD :(

Knowing Brother's enjoyment fluctuates at times depending on the chemistry between the guest and the cast, but with the cast around I can always count on having hilarious moments even if the guests aren't that interesting :) Which is why I stick around the watch it every week heh

Out of all NJTTW really stole my heart :) Started it out of curiosity since 2 Knowing Brother's cast are inside and I knew Kyuhyun and heard the original 1N2D cast were hilarious and definitely was not disappointed. Really became a fan of Na PD's work after this and after watching the first few episodes (Even the special prologue episode) I went on to watch the first 2 seasons of NJTTW and looked around other Na PD's works too
The current cast is amazing, the games are hilarious, and Na PD makes everything 200% more funny I'm glad there's such a gem and saddened that it's only once a week (I NEED MORE)

"Tomorrow With You" is absolute crack. I did not expect to be so hooked. I couldn't finish "Signal" but always liked Lee Je-hoon. To see him play an actual romantic lead, in such a romantic show, is killing me.

Watching some episode of
-hwarang
-weighlifting fairy
But still haven't any desire to finish it
And watched
-Lie to me (reminiscing those old days, but kang jihwan cuter in monster)
-drinking solo (i didnt expect that it was so fun!)

I have tried Voice and Weightlifting for 2 eps, but decided not to continue, maybe will come back later. I have to choose only 2 dramas to watch, and that are:
Rebel-Hong Gil Dong, 4 eps and i already love this show, the back story was so good. Actually, I'm here because of Yoon kyung Sang, but I really don't mind if they extend the back story.. Kim Sang Joon nailed it, and that little Gil Dong was so cute.
Tomorrow With You, I was a little bit confused about the time traveling thing at the beginning, but after ep 4, I can catch up with the story. I Agree that Shin Min Ah always has a great chemistry with her co-star. Can't wait for the next episodes..

Other Dramas in my plan to watch are: Six Flying Dragon and Signal, I really should make time for this...

Want to check Defendant, Chef Kim, and Missing Nine, but not sure when I be able to do that.

Add me to the list of new fans of Junho!

Currently watching Chief Kim and I keep on being impressed with Junho's performance.

On a different note, hope everyone had fun at the Anniversary Bash!!

Enjoying Chief Kim, Tomorrow with You, Saimdang and Defendant. I think I listed them in reverse order of how much I like them. I dropped Hwarang and Missing You. Seems like I'm leaning more towards stories with more mature characters. It's too bad Dramabeans isn't recapping Saimdang but I guess they can't do them all.

Chief Kim - LOL funny. My feel-good drama of the week.

Tomorrow with you - heart-stirring romance.

Hwarang - just a lot of fun. Hoping for more fight scenes. Wish there was a good way to track fight scene choreographers from drama to drama.

Introverted Boss - watched it while doing other stuff and while my mom was watching it. Wish I can like it, but I just don't.

Father I'll Take Care of You - took a break from it. It was fun when I binged the first 15 episodes. Actually one of the few who loved the Jung Eun and Hyun Woo couple. But watching it by its real airing schedule is difficult.

Damn it!!!

Thank's to javabeans... Now I wish to see the pairing of Yeon Woo-jin and Seo Hyun-jin, too. And, bring forward E-Hottie-Ric Mun in between them.

That's art of Rom-Com^.^

Hwarang : still hanging in here all because I totally love PHS. Can he please be the King in the end? Gave up on the bromance storyline and the others taking off now with only 4 episodes left. IMO, these had so much potential with the back stories of the 6 main Hwarangs, but sadly that wasn't the case.

*My week is too empty. Mid 2016, I had 1 drama 7 days of the week. Still in drama slump, still on the fence about Introverted Boss and Tomorrow with You.

Damn, now I want to see Yeon Woo-jin and Seo Hyun-jin in a drama together.

I want this for christmas, please. I'll be a good girl.
