Seven Day Queen: Is it really over? I know I already sound like a broken record but I’ll never get tired of saying how much I love this show. From start to finish, it never disappoints me. I consider it a masterpiece that doesn’t come too often in dramaland and I’m so glad I was able to follow it via live-watching because I got to feel the every week’s anticipation and it gives me something to look forward to. Oh, what will I do with my life now? I’m in a spot wherein even watching another drama can’t stop me thinking about this show and I think it’ll take time for me to move from this spot. Again, I love you show! Thanks for dropping by in my life and giving me the best possible ending for this tragic story.

The King Loves: So far, aside from the bromance, I like San with Rin more, I love Im Si Wan but his character in this show is still not getting my interest that much but I do hope it will start soon enough before I begin to get tired of this drama. This show has a lot of potential and I’m crossing my fingers that it will not be wasted, don’t get me wrong, I still like how the story is going it’s just that I’m watching (Ooops it already ended T.T) Seven Day Queen with it and I can’t avoid to make comparison from the plot to cast and everything else that’s why it’s still a so-so for me.

Bride of the Water God: Love is in the air (or water)! That second kiss after Ha Baek making himself clear that he’s leaving, I don’t know what to feel exactly. Anyways, I feel so bad for Hu Ye, he’s trying his very best not to be the bad guy but they keep on pushing him to his limit which kinda makes me upset to Bi Ryum, he must have a good reason why he’s acting this way or I’ll put him on my list of characters that I hate.

Reunited Worlds: Honestly I thought I wouldn’t be able to watch it after the finale of Seven Day Queen because I still remember the first week of this show wherein it also airs the same day with my main and I really fell in a very dark place and feel so sad then but this show’s episodes this week is no way near that, it is kind of plain for me but I think I should be thankful because if it’s as heavy as I expect it to be I don’t think I can make it. Hoping for better episodes next week!

Moorim School: AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. This show has a fairytale ending for me. Spent 2 weeks to finish it because I took my time appreciating the cuteness of this school-themed drama with the taste of true meaning of friendship, love, power and family. I’ve watched it’s finale after the finale of Seven Day Queen and as I mentioned in one of my fanwall post, somehow it saves me from the heartbreak. Thank you show!

Strongest Deliveryman: Exactly the type of shows I need after my abused heart from Seven Day Queen, fresh start with a very refreshing theme and I also love the cast so I’m so in with this ride! Hwaiting! I still don’t have anything in particular to say as Episode 1 was just released and I’ll enjoy watching it first...

Strongest Deliveryman is freaking awesome. Totally my new crack.

It's difficult to say goodbye to Forest of Secrets that has constantly delivered a great quality in its writing, directing, editing, and acting. This is the second thriller this year that satisfied me from beginning to the end. Would it be impossible to hope for Bae Doo-na and Jo Seung-woo's comeback to dramaland next year??

School 2017 is a light watch, but it still managed to ask all the important, yet hard to answer questions. It prompted me to think about and reflect back on so many things in my teenager and adult life, and I really love that.

So I just rewatched Seven Day Queen last episode today for the third time, and I'm still a mess with snot dripping from my nose...
God help me...

Since i can't move on from Forest of Secrets, i have decided i will just rewatched the whole thing again

Now watching :
Mon-Tue - Falsify - I really promised myself I wouldn't watch this, but it's NGM and UJW and I just can't pass these 2 cause their chemistry is over the charts. And I really wish they would start working together already.
Bride of water God - Saving this to binge watch, cause it seriously does not work for me at 2 episodes a week.

Wed-Thur - Man who dies to live - Yes, I am watching it, and No, I have seen no other scene about islam/muslum/arab other than the first 2 episodes. I really wish MBC had not gone the cowards way and allowed this show to be subbed instead, but whatever. My korean is bad enough to get at least a hint of what is happening.
Suspicious Partner - Watching this with mom and very very behind :P

Variety - New journey to the west 4 - I love watching the goblins being 75% incapable most of the time and when Ji Won gets mad I keep on expecting him to flip out :P

Waiting for :
Manhole - The plot looks like everything but my style, but I'm staying to drool on JaeJoong. I only hope that JYJ fans don't do to Uee the same thing that they did to every Yoochun co-star back in the day.

Still waiting for Age of Youth season 2. Can't believe that we're getting this close to the premiere :)

Forest of Secrets: Fantastic drama in acting, writing and production value, but I honestly thought the ending was a bit of a stretch and didn't totally buy it. Still one of the best dramas ever. For anyone who has heard the rave reviews, remember the "Healer Rule" which is it's not necessarily gonna sparkle in the first few episodes. This one grows and gets better and better and, at some point one realizes, they really aren't gonna muck this up. I want this writer back to work on another drama right away.

Suspicious Partner: I think no romance centric drama should be this long. When the noble idiocy began, I started skipping through. At some point I realized I was re-writing how I wanted the drama to go in my head. However, that little boy and JCW is gonna be gone and the office meetings from hell... so there was enough that charmed me including the lead romance. Oh and a nice twist toward the end as well.

Criminal Minds: Things settled this week with the characters. I'm throwing production value away as obviously there were bts issues. I just find it an easy watch, much like I do all procedurals. It's why I watch them.

Bride of The Water God: Now we're getting somewhere. This writer has always been a bit of slow starter as she builds her world. Something went awry, and I think we needed more of the "god" in his godlike realm just to get a bit more of what he was like before he hit mankind. Regardless, I buy the chemistry of the cast especially between the leads.

The Liar and His Lover: I am on a mission to dig into my watch list and this week I chose this drama. I am at episode 12. After a bit of a slow start, I actually am surprised now at how invested I am in Crude Play. I should finish up this weekend and am going to try Hogu's Love or Marriage Contract; can't decide which yet.

Oh, no @headsno2? I wanted to know what she thought about the finale of Forest of Secrets.

Anyways, the fan wall is full of Seven Day Queen. I'm intrigued and I really want to watch it but I don't want to cry yet so I'm saving it up for laters.

Strongest Deliveryman is cute. I like the way CSB says OPPAAaaa ?

Is it just me or does reunited world just consist of Haesung going around and waving hello to every other cast member. It's just boring me. The romance is lukewarm at best and apart from Jin Joo and Ho bang there's not much that makes me laugh.
I still look forward to BoTWG every week but I need things to get moving already, especially on the romance front. She's supposed to be his bride after all so let's get there already show.

Forest of Secrets - P.E.R.F.E.C.T. As perfect as a drama can possibly get from start to finish and what a finale it was!

School 2017Mori Mori Mori! Okay, besides Mori, I really felt Dae Hwi's pain and struggle. I think the boys are lucky to have Eun Ho, the eternal sunshine in their lives right now.

Seven Day Queen I was patting myself on the back for not shedding a tear like 50 minutes into the finale although I was close to the brink at some points. Then I happily paused, got myself some ice cream and finished the last ten minutes. I don't know what it was that dribbled down my chin and onto my chest. So yeah....what a mess!

Criminal Minds Most likely I will drop after this week, I am seeing things in the writing and direction that makes me not want to continue. The premiere week was meh but I thought this week was terrible. Even Ki Hyung's tragedy and Sohn Hyun Joo's acting at the end of ep 4 don't make a difference. Strictly for Lee Jun Ki's fans.
I'd like to ask if the original CM had delve significantly into crime profiling? I don't know what I'm watching in this version but I think they aren't really doing criminal profiling.

Behind in BOTWG and Reunited Worlds. Planning to watch Strongest Deliveryman and maybe Manhole.

On traveling mode this week so still fine-tuning the timezone to play catch-up with lots of show. Only manage to keep up with:

School 2017: Gosh this show had my heart and soul. Never thought I would be this invested on such a simple show (with lots of flaws), but I'm all about the heartss and this show gave me exactly that - and then more (Tae Woon's arm veins).

Father is Strange: The slowly developed romance of Joong Hee and Mi Young left me grinning like a fool and makes my heart flutter. I love their awkwardness so totally agree with @javabeans, up the romance game show!!

Seven Day Queen : The best saeguk drama. 'nuff said.

The King Loves : Rin forever and ever. ❤️

School 2017: The only drama that excites me to eagerly wait for new episode now that SDQ is over. Please no love triangle, I just wanna see Eun Ho x Tae Woon, and maybe other secondary couples like Sarang and guitar oppa or idol oppa, and Dae Hwi x Nam Joo.

Reunited Worlds : Hae Sung's moments with his siblings and friends are what make me stick to this drama. Gong Ju is too cute btw!

I'm behind in BotWG (mianhae Habaek-nim,I've neglected you for two weeks) and Criminal Minds. I'm so excited to start Strongest Deliveryman and Rescue Me! As for Falsify, I don't know whether or not to start that drama. Any review from beanies? Is it worth it to start Falsify?

Forest of Secrets ?????❤?
School 2017 ???
Falsify ??
Woman of Dignity ?
Strongest Deliveryman ??
Father is Strange ??

Last week someone used the emoticon to express her feeling about her shows so I'm following her step lol.

I can't wait to see Manhole next week, to see if it is actually hilarious or not. And also my fav Kim Nam Gil will be back! I put Reunited Worlds on hold for now, yet to start Criminal Minds & I don't know when I'll start it. bot really feeling to start it sooner.

Planning to start re-watching Joseon X Files tonight! Today is like a sageuk day for me, I'm re-watching Moon Geun Young's parts in Empress Myeongseong and Kim So Eun & Park Eun Bin's parts in Empress Cheon Chu, just to reminisce some good old memories.

..Reunited Worlds: I keep waiting for this show to give my heartstrings a good tug, but it never really goes anywhere past light and pleasant..

~ OMG, @girlfriday, you still need your heartstrings to be tugged again? Right after those 2 eps of SDQ? You're stronger than me... ^^

I am bereft. I tried a few premieres, didn't take too any. I'll maybe give Falsify a go further down its run.

Forest of Secrets - what have you done to me?!

Father Is Strange: I'm behind on this show (am on episode 28), but I'm already head-over-heels in love with the positivity surrounding Joong-hee; that birthday meal the Byun family surprised him with and him struggling to hold back his tears made MY tears fall down my face. Props to Lee Joon for playing this character so well! On a side note, can I marry Lee Yuri and her closet? Everything that woman wears is on point. She's my role model.

Suspicious Partner: Kyaaa, jealous puppy Noh Ji-wook is here! Call me sadistic or whatever, but I absolutely delight Ji-wook's jealous angst. It's amazing seeing him suffer when Bong-hee told him she won't like him anymore, and I like the way he's starting to slowly realize and regret his previous rejection of her. Also, Eun-hyuk is such a sad character that all I wanna do is wrap him up in a comfortable blanket and feed him chocolate. (That birthday cake, though!) In addition, the murder case is getting more interesting - Chan-ho looked like a mouse caught in a trap, and I'm interested in how he's going to get himself out of it.

The Best Hit - I. LOVE. THIS. SHOW. I LOVE THIS SHOW. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW! (♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡) I know I should probably write coherent sentences, but whatever, I'm too in love with show. Ddabong is amazing, the jokes are on point and this show just makes me feel warm inside. NEVER LEAVE ME, SHOW. NEVEEER!

Ruler-Master of the Mask: If I had to describe the 2 episodes (4 half-episodes) that I vociferously consumed in a day, it would be that Ruler is densely packed. So densely packed, in fact, that I'm sorta scared to continue now - will we even have enough story material left? What will Prince Sun even do now? That's not to say that the first 2 episodes were awful - it was the opposite, in fact. Yoo Seung-ho's eyes were so expressive and earnest, even when he's wearing a mask, and I love his vulnerability as a struggling Crown Prince. Kim So-hyun was reliably good as Ga-eun, and I love her snarkiness towards the Crown Prince and her iron will, even after her father's death (although she does err on the side of recklessness sometimes; wielding a sword against several palace swordsmen and announcing that you're going to kill the Crown Prince isn't exactly good revenge). Even L isn't bad here, though he could do with less shouty shouts. Shouts make emoting doth not! The only thorn here is Yoon So-hee, whose acting is so bad and her line delivery so scattered that I internally wince when she appears onscreen. Overall though, I'm interested and hooked. Continue on with your glory, Show!

Forest of Secrets: OK, everyone (and I mean, EVERYONE) has been raving and praising and recommending this show and I finally caved in. The first episode - oh, man, what a pilot! Hwang Shi-mok was an intriguing character, and even though he can't feel any emotions, I can still see his calculating brain and sometimes even a pinprick of pity or shock, etc. Bae Doo-na's acting...

Forest of Secrets leaves such a void in my drama watching life that even though I'm craving for more crime dramas to fill that emptiness up, I can't seem to get into any of the ongoing crime-thrillers. Falsify looks like something I can retry later when I'm in the mood, though, so I'll be keeping it on my watch list. As for now, I'm revisiting a few old true crime shows like Forensic Files, Cold Case Files and FBI Files to learn a bit more about different aspects of crime solving.
School 2017, despite its flaws, is adorable and I'm enjoying riding along with Eun Ho. Sure the show can use a little bit more realism, but it's still very entertaining for me.
Strongest Delivery Man Not much happened in the first episode, but I like CSB and KGP so I'll stick around for a bit longer. Also, one of the rare dramas where I can see men fanboying over the heroine. Usually it's the other way round. Glad for the change!

7 day queen-It is a masterpiece, so close to perfection, the writing, acting, production, directing etc. It is the best show I have watched this year, they deserve awards for this so fingers crossed. It was so heartfelt, heartbreaking, romantic, epic and thrilling. I was scared about watching this show at first but it became an absolute crack drama, so fully engrossing. The love the leads had for each other was so selfless, they were devoted to each other and they must be one of the great OTPs of all time. One of my favourite shows and one of the best shows I have ever seen for this year and all years. I wept afterwards and ended up getting a teddy bear for comfort which I have not touched for years. It really touched my heart.

Reunited Worlds-I find it fun and enjoyable but not really that impressive or different really. I am writing reviews for it so I am still watching (but I am a little behind so..).

Hyori's homestay as heartwarming and fun as ever and Father is strange I am behind on it but I am happy that there is no serious drag and the show is still funny and touching.
Now starting Strongest Deliveryman and rewatching BOF.

i kinda agree that nam jihyun had slightly better cuteness chemistry with seo in guk O_O

Forest: I want more episodes!

Seven Day Queen: the legendary tragedy is over. I'll miss Yeok and Chae Kyung's small, happy moments, Nanny (she's so awesome) and the beautiful hanboks.

School 2017: some surprisingly moving developments this week! I'm invested in the story and characters now. Can't wait for the bromance to be mended.

Gonna watch Strongest Deliveryman as well since everything about it seems so fun. I keep thinking about Age of Youth Season 2. Need to check when that's gonna air.

fortunately , I was able to avoid reading spoilers about forest of secrets, aside from people saying its a must-watch. 16 scrumptious episodes as chickachunga put it, here I go.

I'm still watching the Water God mainly because of the writer of Misaeng... and I'm wondering if it is the weaker writing or more directing which doesn't capture the writers' ideas and visions... I'm more inclined for the latter (as I'm also not impressed with the general acting... in a sense that I think they all can do better)... though can be both :--)

I do still enjoy the drama and I think it is getting better... but I just expected more (as I loved Misaeng so much...).

"I hate Krystal and Gong Myung in this, both in character and in acting. Instant mood-killers." The ironic part is her playing a bad turned-idol-actress in the drama, when she is almost as bas as her character. Is this Inception ?

Oh, and School 2017 is love!!! <3<3<3
I'm willing to overlook all nonsensical and over the top scenarios for Tae Swoon (thank you Beanies for the nickname :--) )... and his new (EH) and old (DH) friend.... his chemistry with Eun-ho is off the chart, seriously....

Forest of secrets- amazing - have to go back and read the recaps so I can understand everything I missed.

Father is Strange- Lee Joon is just so good in this role. Like everyone else, so ready for the romance to kick into high gear.

Reunited Worlds- I so want this to be good. I'm waiting for the writing to make sense. It doesn't seem like the writter knows where (s)he wants to go with the story. I love the lead guy so I'm still hanging on.

School 2017-enjoying this so much more than I did at the beginning. The chemistry between the leads and the broken bromance totally make up for the almost cartoonish world our characters live in.

Strongest Delivery man- So entertaining- pretty much just like the trailers.

7DQ: tears were shed, heart was broken but life must go on ?

Forest of Secrets: just perfection - the twists, the turns, the ? moments, the rare smile (how can a smile be that precious) and of course the badass heroine!

Criminal Minds: keep telling myself shouldn't compare shouldn't compare but but...how can I not when I am unable to get past how much better the original version is, especially with the current storyline arc. Probably dropping this but LJK looks so good in this, how?

School 2017: I have Mori fever, that is all

Hi-fi, odiletantte, I am a fan of Agatha Christie's too and murder on the Orient express is my most favourite book of hers. I still remember the thump-thump-thump of my heart beat when I was reading towards the end. I don't usually reread murder mysteries because it's no fun once you know who the killer is, but that book is the only exception. I don't watch variety shows (not because I have anything against them, just because I already spend too much time watching dramas, I don't want to get sucked into the world of variety too). But, if it's something like murder on the Orient express, maybe I ll try that episode alone.

Both the dramas I was watching (seven day queen and forest of secrets) ended this week *sob*. they started strong and ended strong. Dropped bride of the water god, lost interest. So, basically I am without dramas now. Planning on watching manhole and strongest deliveryman. Also wondering whether to start school 2017. That would round out the week for me, with one episode per day. But, since both the shows I recently finished left a strong impression on me, I feel like I need to muster up more energy than I normally need to start a new drama.

Still.Can't.Move.On. from you know what I meant

Bride of the Water God (2017) (10/16): I'm not quite sure where this drama is going ... I am so into the cute awkward bits between Habaek and So Ah, but the storytelling and plot aren't really keeping my interest. Episode 10's ending has me soooo intrigued though! What's going to happen next week?
Chicago Typewriter (2017) COMPLETED: This drama is breathtaking. I'm still stunned at the implecable storytelling and acting performances. This drama really moved me!

This week, down to watching just two dramas:

Seven Day Queen - Simply excellent. ..... Definitely one of the standouts for 2017 and one to be remembered for a long time to come.

Suspicious Partner - I know I'll miss our wacky little group of four lawyers.

Oh yes, the do profiling, talk too much and the cases are at times over the top..

Javabeans understands my pain, when will the FIS writer let us live! ?? Jung-hee and Mi-young need to kiss as soon as possible please, please don't let all of that chemistry go to waste!!

Water God´s bride: Impossible love... Frustrating. The story is difficult to understand, the end will be sad, but the meantime is also sad!!!!! :(

Reunited World: Impossible love again, less frustrating. The story is ok, the end will be sad as well, and the meantime... well, it is a mixture. It has some more happy moments, i think... But it leaves me always in a crisis...

And that´s all. I am still thinking which drama to rewatch for the theme of the month, but haven´t decided yet...

Also, I finally found a job, so, i will be busy... Let´s see how many shows I could keep on watching up from now....

The King loves - wasn't sure of starting but voila, it's such a simple & easy to watch show with just enough juicy bits & mild political games (means evil guys always get thwarted), cute love triangles at play, handsome, adorable, strong bodyguards in the shadow & sassy heroines. The actors pulled off well in their roles & the music score is something else. It is a pleasant surprise really.

School 2017 - fix the bromance, more TaeSwoon & Eunho.some Sarang & Kyungwoo? Oh and please no love triangle. TW❤EH all the way.

CMK - drama, focus on your strengths.

FIS - I cried with Unnie.Her words might have hurt Mom & Dad but knowing her character she didn't say them out of spite.I'm so glad she came for Dad.

NJTTW S4 - no words but ❤ for this show

FoS - gosh show, thank you for that awesome ride.May we come across another drama like you soon.

FBND - project rewatch that convinced me that I should give PSH's other dramas a chance.YSY is just crazy good.

Waiting for Strongest Deliveryman's Ep 2 before I start it.

What I'm watching:
The Bride of Habaek

What I wish I had enough time to be watching:
Misaeng, Chicago Typewriter, and even Forest of Secrets because everybody has nothing but praise for it.

Funny because I had no intentions of watching BOTWG, until a close friend told me she enjoyed it despite the choppiness. I'm actually relieved to say that I have more issues with the directing than with the acting. I'm also strangely moved by the star-crossed lurve (or the idea of it anyway). A bit surprised to read that Javabeans doesn't like Gong Myung here, but I think there's no dispute that Im Joo-hwan steals this show.

Same friend is also downloading Chicago Typewriter for me so hopefully I can devour that one soon.

Forest of Secrets: this is when a drama is more than a drama, but an experience. This is also when a drama not only entertains but impresses. A week later, I'm still thinking about it - the characters, the acting, the direction, the story, and the message.

Bride of the Water God: Really frustrated with all the gods, especially Bi-ryum. I can't believe these know-nothings are gods. Stop messing up Hu-Ye and So-Ah's lives and stop making them feel bad.

School 2017: Had my reservations in the beginning, but now I'm in love. The pressures the teens face are depressing, but I love the glimmers of hope that X and Teacher Shim provide. That evaluation scene made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Father is Strange: Ditto everything that @javabeans said. So. many. feels. I really don't want to say goodbye to this family. Now that dad's gone to turn himself in, I'm on pins and needles. Please let everyone be okay and let Joong Hee and MY finally date.

Criminal Minds: I want to love it. Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won! Now I'm settling for somewhere between I sort-of like it and at least I don't dislike it. Everything -writing, directing, and even some of the acting- feels like a rough first draft to me. And definitely not enough profiling.

I only watch two dramas currently due to the lack of time. It's a sad cause, definitely

Forest of Secrets
Watched it until episode 3 and I don't feel that sense of urgency yet to finish watching each episodes. It actually took me more than two days to finish an episode. Maybe this is due to the time constraint or I'm just not that interested in the storyline yet. Sure, it's interesting, a murder that happened where everyone is a plausible suspect, and it's actually entertaining, so I wonder why it took me so long to finish an episode. Maybe I'm not at that episode yet when I have to watch the next episode soon, but I'm sure I will

Bride of Water God
This is the drama that I actually like. Maybe it's because I'm watching it directly through TVN (the cable TV at my home played the drama at the same time it was played in Korea, and it's in my language too!) but I don't get bored watching it. My parents actually enjoy it too and we watch it together every Monday-Tuesday. I love Nam Joo-hyuk here, despite not liking him in School and Bok-ju. I think that he's perfect as God and his loveline with Shin Se-kyung is so believable to me. Can't wait for next episode to air!

Father Is Strange: Joong Hee found his smile again! I invested too much feelings on this drama lol

Criminal Minds: Korean version Reid is really pain to watch. Even the cameo, the villains character played by Kim In-kwon & Kim Won Hae outshine him lol... I'm gonna drop this drama if it is not for Lee Junki..

Watched episode ten of Woman of Dignity yesterday. I have nothing insightful to say, just that I am newly amazed at how cheap it must be to get the rights to rock classics over in Korea. I was impressed enough when A Wife's Credentials used the Byrds and Jane Birkin, but I was not expecting to encounter Perfect Day by Lou Reed in a kdrama. I guess that's not as shocking as, say, Heroin would be. But Lou Reed! In a kdrama! It is a beautiful song.

Sorry, random comment is random haha.

Currently watching strongest delivery man and it is so awesome

Starting today, I will be without wi-fi for a full week, so no catching up on currently airing dramas for me. It's a travesty, but I downloaded the first half of I Hear Your Voice to do a rewatch, so at least I'll have Lee Bo-young and Lee Jong-suk to console me

I'm still trying to finish The Best Hit!?
