Tunnel's been doing great! Did you hear that episodes 13 and 14 are going to be pushed back a week? They said it's for quality reasons!

I am watching Tunnel and CT too. Tunnel is more exciting now that the overarching mystery is ramped up, and all the cards are laid out in the open between SJ and KH, and I can't get enough of the ghostwriter and his back story in CT. Can't wait for the next episode!

OMG! I don't know why but I always feel really happy inside whenever I see that people are watching Super Family! It's such a heart-warming, relatable and comedic family drama and honestly Ik-hee and Gong Yoon are just so cute together!

I was feeling a bit meh about tunnel but the last two episodes really hooked me. The reveal about yeonsook broke my heart. its been a while since I cried whilst watching a drama...

Re Chicago Typewriter: such an intrestibg story!!! yes the hero is bipolar, but 99% of real artists are like that. And that's what I love so much about this drama. The charachters are not marshmallow type like hero of SWDBS. Writer HSJ has such a real charachter! He is flawed but you still root for him regardless! And heroin is so bright, she has such prefect chemistry with all 3 men, even the psycho villain...

You're spot on with CT! There's something not all there about it, like something out of a dream, with its wordplay on ghosts and writers and ghostwriters. There are so many layers to this story and I love the slow peeling back of each one!

I am watching My Secret Romance too. The story is so reminding me of the Chinese or Taiwanese rich lad-poor gal dramas, but the characters are looking good. I hope there is enough fluff to keep it going for the next ten episodes.

Healer's a good one to go for if you're wanting more of a plot and also the romance

If it's romantic comedy and lots of cute moments I would watch weightlifting fairy kim bok joo, shopping king louie, oh my ghost and marriage not dating

My Secret Romance! So much like 1% of Anything. Just turn your brain off and enjoy the happy ride.

Oh I love Chicago Typewriter. Haven't seen Man to Man yet but hopefully it's not that bad.

Is Man to Man that bad? I am thinking of picking up the show after DBS. Maybe I will wait for another week and marathon the 4 episodes at one go before deciding whether to drop it or not.

I agree, Man to Man was kind of a mess. There are things that I loved, but also lots of moments that left me confused, annoyed or even a bit bored. For now I think it's mostly an editing problem, which tends to get better as the show gets along, but there are hints of writing fails as well (like his contact spilling everything to a scriptwriter - what was that??), which only tends to get worse with time. So I'm extremely cautious about the drama right now. I'm dreading another K2 disaster *shudders*

Love CT too!

Hmmm Been thinking if checking out Man to Man. Maybe I'll wait until DB starts recapping it ?

I had high expectations for Man to Man as well, but I loved it! It's the first (or any) episode of a show in a long time where the hour just breezed by. Lately I feel like I have been repeatedly checking the clock while watching dramas to see how much time is left.

The tone of the show is very tongue in cheek, and I feel like some people were expecting (or possibly wanted) a more straight up spy show. Since I appreciated the tone they were going for, I thought the first episode was actually very smooth and very, very funny.

Man To Man wasn't that bad in my opinion but it sure has some cringy parts. Also I don't get why everyone is speaking in English when they're in non English speaking country (Italy)!

I really sad that rating goes down. This drama is very good with mystery premies and 30' set. Ost are nice too! And i think netz now seem like rom-com and light drama in weekend? Like Goblin, SWDBS and kim bok ju

man to man: ep 2 is way more cohesive than ep 1 imho. I think it has a lot of potential

I'm not watching it either. I think there so many legal & corruption-related dramas lately is due to the current political condition in Korea. Dramas depict life after all. Hopefully there will be more romcoms after the election.

I dropped it since ep.5. I question my own drama preference since it seems like many beanie staff are enjoying the show. I think I can't stand the logic and the convenient coincidences which have been put far too many in the drama. I don't mind legal/corruption plot but this one just doesn't get me.

I dropped it by eps 3 when I realized I couldn't care less for any of the characters. I don't know why it didn't click with me since I love Punch so much.

I'm not watching it either. Don't feel like starting either ?

The storyplot is definitely full of plot holes. Just give Whisper a try but you must to put your logical brain at the small box at your brain corner when watching Whisper! Believe me, as LSY fan too since his MDSY, his acting improved a lot as DJ and his chemistry with LBY is hotter

I am "sort of" watching Whisper. My problem with it mainly is how many people seem driven to do really stupid things, time after time.

I love CT ost too. The whole drama has such a unique feel to it. Really love it!

I am sold since ep 1! Thinking this drama gonna be hit, but the reality is wth

I will have Yoo please. Thanks! ??

Me too Yoo!

Am not gonna choose. Can I have all three of them please?

Re on family drama:
I watch many of them (along with the daily drama) and I could understand why you couldn't warm up to them. They usually take too long to set the pace and in the middle there will be conflicts and everything, but family dramas are comfort zone. It's something you could watch while talking with your friends or parents and you won't miss anything important

Still, family dramas usually have good plot concerning the family (because all of the dramas I've watched are all like that) and I hope you could give them a chance :)

Your description of Protect the Boss is half of exactly why I loved it so much, lol was never bored or annoyed, simply enjoyed seeing a unique & adorkable OT4 figure out how to get thru their lives together.. but yeah, that's not for everyone, lol. I did watch it veerry slowly tho, cuz I wanted it to ~last. Like, only two eps at a time, & just every other week or so. ^-^ http://youtu.be/Uoceq8iEOYo

Me too! I never thought I would fall in love with a family drama, having sat through quite a few without success, but this family drama is daebak! I love how loving the parents are, and the children are so supportive of one another. Although there is a little bit of makjang with the birth secret, which I hate, it's still bearable for now. And besides, I can't wait for Lee Joon to integrate into the warm and loving family. There will be lots of loving he has to do!

If you get the time definitely check out "What Happens to My Family" it's an amazing family drama

Hahah! ?

I do the same. Maybe it's because you get tired of the clichés more easily when you've seen so many shows that you know most of the patterns? It becomes more predictable thus more boring.

I am a serial drama dropper. I drop them liberally and even at the very last.
I'm so loving Radiant Office now, it's quite an unique little drama.

It's not just you. Lately I have been starting a lot of dramas, but finishing few of them. It seems like so many of them around half or 2/3 through tend to get bogged down in repetition, filler, and just kind of stagnate. There are exceptions, like Tunnel, but I seem to be dropping a lot more than I used to.

I'm always starting and dropping dramas at random. Even those i like, i tend to stop at around episode 10 or so... just before the makjang hits. I often find dramas shift in the second half and/or are often way, way too long than they need to be (or that I have the attention span for) I usually find there's a point where the story feels complete enough for me. I do find lately that I keep trying out new dramas but none of them stick with me :(

He will make an appearance in the later episodes. But when he appears, he will just get you. I find myself glued to the screen every time he appears, eager to find out his back story and everything.

GKP will come and make you melt and fall in love with him ?

GHP is like a lost puppy in there.

I agree with you 100% on Man To Man! The overall tone is fun and the characters are interesting. :D

GKP is a sceene stellar here! I never love him like this before until today ep (ep 6). Trust me!

Nope. Neither do I ?

Haha. Why not? It is hilarious in a predictable kind of way, and there are some heartwarming scenes as well.

Nope. I kind of dropped it at 12. Just only watched the cute scenes on YT. Kind of lost interest ?

*hi-fi* I didn't watch the last four episodes too! Just read the recaps.

I dropped it with about 3 episodes left, so no not weird.

Reconsider Drinking Solo, its an easy watch and a fun one

Definitely reconsider Drinking Solo. There's a couple annoying elements (when aren't there?) but it was an amazing drama.

Hi! Another fan of the peach blossoms here :D After watching it, other romance dramas pale in comparison. I just finished it and don't know what to do (**looking for other romance dramas or movies of Mark Chao at the moment**). It's being difficult to find something that catches my attention lately, I guess I will continue with my drama slump for now.

Peach blossoms? Move on? I'm having hard time too.. I watched four other dramas after that, still can't move on. So I decided to rewatch it.. lols.. Hopefully this will do the trick. I thought SWDBS will help me move on, but that one is not that good. It has very little story, and so many unnecessary characters. Only the OTP is super cute, and that's about it. It's just my opinion though..

TvN rating was broken bcause Goblin ?

Me too, I also think Chicago Typewriter is a nice project and I could totally see why Im Soo-jung decided to take this role. I've noticed over time that my taste is quite different with beanie staffs in many ways, and that's okay. Many other people enjoy CT so we're not alone ? And even if we're alone, as long as we enjoy it, I don't think anything else matters. ?

Same here. My tastes very often seem to align with DB staff. But not so much with CT.

CT hooked me with the first episode, and I can't really find too many flaws this intriguing show. I eagerly await each new episode as haven't been disappointed yet.

By contrast, Mystery Queen seems to be growing in admiration among staff, whereas each episode has gotten worse in my eyes. The premise is good as are the leads. But something in the execution is lacking for me.

CT is the only one I'm following, too. And some of the ones everyone else seems to adore just seem full of plot holes and irritating characters. But...I guess that's why there are lots of different dramas? So there is something for everyone? I'm intrigued by the mystery of CT and wish that more people would like it.

@agoodheart @fuujin @rlg07
I'm happy to learn that some do like CT hehe.. so I'm not alone :) Good to know that.

What genre of j-drama do u like? You can try We Married as a Job (romcom), Cold Case (adaptation, crime, detective), Kagi no KakattaHeya (mystery, detective), ouroboros, bitter blood, border (detective, crime). Ask me for more, I'll tell you happily ?

Tenno no ryoriban is really good :)

I'd highly reccomend anything by NHK or WOWOW. They are very good! Especially WOWOW shows when it comes to the crime/thriller genre (marks no yama and lady joker are masterpieces) Also Sakamoto Yuji has written some excellent shows.

Japanese dramas I have so far watched and liked:
Doctors’ Affairs**
Second Love**
Five to Nine**
Sukina Hito ga Iru Koto**
Flowers for Algernon**
Beautiful Life**
Nigeru-wa-Haji-da-ga-Yaku-ni-Tatsu**
Jimi-ni-Sugoi-Koetsu-Garu-Kono-Etsuko
Pride**
Totsuzen-Desu-ga-Ashita-Kekkon-Shimasu
DramaTatta-Hitotsu-no-Koi
Nobuta Wo Produce
Please Love the Useless Me
Sapuri**
Piece*
Boku to Star no 99 Nichi*

Awww man I haven't got my free pass yet.

The real question is: How can I watch crime scene 3 without sub? I'm so envious of @girlfriday for already watching it.
