See? Harmless jealousy brings about endearing pettiness.

      Yeah, she’s winning. I love how natural they are w/ each other! I love their rapport and their chemistry is great. Seo Ye-ji’s acting is very natural and she’s very charming.

      After re-watching Moorim, screen caps and discussions, I want to see them again as leads in a new drama.

    I don’t understand. Moorim got lots of bashing and criticism on db when it was airing. Now it seems people love it? I’m intrigued.

      *shrugs* I’m actually wondering the same thing since the recaps were dropped as well. Different bunch of people around maybe, with different tastes? Idk

        Probably. Shows like Playful kiss, Faith, Scarlet Heart and Moorim School did very well on streaming sites likes Viki even if on DB it wasn’t popular. I remember Moorim being consistently on the most popular shows of the week for Viki even after it finished airing.

          “popular” as in opinion/ratings, not how much attention it got of course.

        Or lowered expectations maybe?

      I imagine it’s intimidating to speak up when the most vocal comments are trashing a show so those who loved it probably didn’t express themselves. With chingu & @vannerie openly documenting their experience and enjoying it, I imagine it’s easier for others who liked the drama to come out 😛

        You are probably right.

        Aw, this made me smile. 😊 I really hope this is true, too, because I love the idea of everyone being comfortable enough to share something they genuinely enjoy and love, despite what the majority or anyone says.

      In my case, I enjoyed it now when I rewatched it than before. I remember watching it for the 1st time, 16 eps stretched to about 4 months. Maybe because now, I just enjoy specific parts/scenes rather than the drama as a whole. The plot holes or what not just flew by.

      Nowadays, my viewing habits are a bit different, I have 1-2 live dramas which I totally love, another 1 plainly for rewatching/skipping to specific scenes & another 1 solely as a happy pill.

      I was actually surprised too that many other Beanies seemed to enjoy Moorim.

        I always think watching a show as it airs and right after the promotions gets the expectations very high and the disappointments very hard. Maybe that is the reason here too, people have forgotten the expectations and are just watching to get sny measure of pleasure possible.

          Yeah, a show living up to or not living up to its own expectations could really make or break a viewer’s watching experience. Like you said, it might just be more safe to lower our expectations so we don’t end up heart broken when the show(s) don’t end up the way we hoped it would. And you’re right, sometimes, our expectations, perspective, and opinion about a show can differ depending on when we watch it.

            Right! And there is the problem of teasers sometimes not exactly conveying the theme and feel of the drama. When I watch the drama much later I have usually forgotten the teaser.

          Haha, speaking of teasers! Gotta go watch Moorim‘s! Haven’t done so yet! I was too afraid of spoilers to look up anything “Moorim.”

          But yes, oh absolutely. Teasers rarely ever tell us what a show’s about. It just… teases. 😉

            This conversation reminds me of that episode in Producers where he has to make a preview and it is pressed upon him that the show’s ratings depend entirely on the preview, only to be belittled later about how previews are not that important! 😄

        Aha, I can totally see Moorim as a fun drama to re-watch one day. Epic bromance, ftw!

        Wow, so you always have one drama specifically to re-watch? That’s a good idea because I’d love to re-watch some of my faves, but idk when I’d ever get to ’em.

        And I think it’s more like Beanies love seeing Lee Hyun-woo’s face! Haha.

          Yes, I realized it late last year while checking my dramalist. 1 drama that I finished that I’d re-watch and 1 drama I dropped while it was airing to see if I’ll be able to finish it now.

      Maybe post LAHL, many people went back in search of more LHW to Moorim School or saw it for the first time and liked it because they already love him even though the show might not be their thing?

      Plus I have a feeling that any LHW image will now attract the LAHL upvoters as does any mention of LAHL. We are a loyal bunch. We see Hyun Woo, we hit upvote 😛

      I am just enjoying all the screencaps even though I left it at ep 6 and didn’t even read the recaps.. Great way to know what actually happened in the story!

        TLAHL has trained Liar Beanies into upvoting monsters 😛
        It’s like an automatic habit honestly

          Aha, is that what it is? I see, I see. 😄 Well, it’s a good thing for me! Haha. But I gotta pick TLAHL back up one of these days to see what all the hype is about.

            Oh good I’m not the only one who has yet to see TLAHL,
            Planning on watching it with the same friend I watched Moorim with when she gets back from Japan dw Beanies reading this who are shocked at that fact.

        Aha, I think you’re right about Lee Hyun-woo = upvotes because I definitely saw a pattern going on there. I was so surprised at first because I knew the show itself had such mixed reviews, but my Moorim posts were getting so much love! I was like, “What is this?” I later realized that it probably wasn’t Moorim School that was getting the love, it was more Lee Hyun-woo’s face. Haha.

        Now I didn’t watch TLAHL, but have always liked Lee Hyun-woo very much, and thoroughly enjoyed Moorim.
        I’m really happy you’re enjoying my posts about it, though, even though it doesn’t really fill you in on the ~main~ parts, since I mostly share all the goodness that is the (b)romance. Haha.

          Hehehe.. yes, you have finally cracked the secret to getting upvotes. Most of mine are from TLAHL comment threads! We were crazy there.. Each comment had a minimum of 20 upvotes- even if it basically said “Hehe.. true that”- like my reply above to bezeich’s comment. It’s a weird phenomenon tbh. I am part of it but I don’t know the reason why! But yeah- LHW, Joy (and Red Velvet by extension), TLAHL, or any of the side characters get love.

          Well if I would have tried watching Moorim School, it would have been for LHW’s gorgeous hair and the bromance- both of which I get from your posts 😀

            Lol! I see, I see. *nods and takes this all in* I love all the love, but it’s fascinating about where it all comes from! Not complainin’, of course. Haha.

            And aww~ YAY, then! 😊😊😊

      Haha, I think most of the love comes from Beanies just loving to see Lee Hyun-woo’s face. 😉
