Beanie level: Eunuch in drag

Is it just me or the kdrama slump this year is too deep? The struggle to get up and get out of it is too real.

    I just got out of mine last week watching lingerie girls’generation, it is so good so far 😍😍😍💖💖💖

      I watch LGG too and like it, but too early to love it.. I hope it continues being awesome!

        I know, I like it so far didn’t say I love it.
        But I love that I’m out of my drama slump. 😍😍😍

    I am not even struggling anymore.. I am enjoying the slump!

      Now I feel like I’m watching dramas from inside the slump but they are so boring (except for a few) that I don’t even bother to pull myself out of the pit. Yeah, that bad.

        At least you are watching something! I have given up! I am watching variety shows and just spending time on DB.. The feel will come when it has to.. I hope it comes by the time While You Were Sleeping airs.. I don’t want to sleep on that show! 😛

          Same. I have accepted my slump and just waits for LJS to wake me up on sep 27. Lmao 😂

          I’m extremely cautious now going into new shows. Burnt me few times already. It seems to be a trend this year to start a kdrama with hope but being crushed by them in later episodes.

    Haven’t been in a slump for quite a while now although I’ve been dropping shows here and there more often than I used to 😂😂😂

      I watch shows here and there but ended up dropping most of them. And to think how I used to watch all at the same time make me miss those days even more. *sigh*

    If not for SD I’ll be on the same boat. Huhu.

      The only ones I’m watching now are AoY and LGG. I love AoY but waiting for the subs kinda ruin the mood, and LGG is still too early to say. I do watch other shows, but it felt like my soul left me and I ended up questioning the purpose of me watching in the first place. #thestruggleisreal

        This was the start of the slump for me. I used to watch 6-8 shows a week then dwindled to one and when I was left only with BotWG, I just barely finished for the sake of finishing. I haven’t watched anything after it and just watched clips here and there of old shows, variety and song videos (thanks to theme of the month). I have done struggling and is resigned to my slump-fate (for now). Counting down the days for LJS’s new drama-light at the end of the slump tunnel. *crossfingers

          I totally feel you. I skip-watched almost everything and I miss fangirling over shows so much.

            I still fangirl on pictures and FMVs though nothing stops me. I miss the thrill of live watching and discussing on dramabeans 😢
            What was the last show you watched?

            I think I miss the thrill of live watching and the eagerness of waiting for recaps and comments. The last drama that made me feel that way was Chicago Typewriter (even tho the most recent drama I completed was School 2017).

I think I\’m starting to feel the impact of having all the oppas in the military. The surging batch of new leads left me hanging and I started missing those the army had taken even more. Sigh..

Never has 2nd lead ship sank so hard for me than in Reply 88. It scarred me so bad i could never revisit the drama. But this! THIS! You really mess with my shipper heart! With this current ending in sight, perhaps I could finally do a rewatch. The wound is finally healed now! Eeeeeeeeeeeee good luck you two!

    Same here! I stopped watching at ep 14 because I couldn’t watch Jongpal hurted anymore. And now I think I can finish the drama 😀

    I’m happy for them 😍

    But I didn’t feel so bad when Jung-hwan didn’t get the girl.. don’t get me wrong, I rooted for him, I was shipping him with her so bad and I even cried at his “fake confession” but when I found out that Taek was the husband I was okay with it because I also rooted for him, I wanted him to be happy and loved.. it felt like the show fooled me into loving both guys!

      Lucky you! I was so deeply seated in the Jung-hwan ship that when it drowned, it hurt so bad – even though I do get why he didn’t get the girl – that noble idiot fool.

        I stopped watching after the “fake confession” , my heart can’t bear it anymore
        Now, with this ending (irl), I think I can finish reply 1988 😅

        But now he got the girl, Rejoice 💃

        For me it’s Chilbong whose heartbreak I can never get over, it still hurts so bad!!

    I was a Jung Hwan shipper one hundred percent, but that scene he talked in voice over about being too hesitant and too doubting and too scared was so gut punchingly realastic that made me completely ok with and accepting of the ending. He deserved it, and though it broke his heart and mine, he really had only himself to blame.

    And in retrospect I now feel that for a drama about youth hopes and heartbreaks, a truly deeply real heartbreak was much more apt than a happily sailing ship and a sorry-we-love-you-but-maybe-next-time kind of second lead.

Is it weird that I have an obsession towards Tae Woon’s arm veins? I like the smirks, the abs and everything else about him, but his arm veins were really too much for me to handle. 🙈 #School2017

    No it is not. 😅😅😅I have a friend who is obsessed with arms and arm veins. Especially the arms of the members of BTS. (Ha this is revenge for her mentioning me in her tumblr posts).

      Ha! At least I’m not alone?

      I mean I can handle everything else pretty well, but arm veins? Mindblown LOL. And I think this show knows this coz it keeps putting the arms in focus! ? (Well thank you show!)

    Not weird at all. I also can’t handle Tae Woon’s arm veins!!! 😍😍😍

    In epi 6, when the camera focused at his arm veins… 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Once in a while, a show creeps into your life and you realize you are willing to let go of the crazy plot, confusing characters & choppy editing simply because you love the show too much. #loveisblind

      Oh yeah. And no matter what people said about the drama, you simply don’t care. Come what may, you’ll be there. LOL.

Watching Reunited World and just realised that Kwak Dong Yeon is eerily similar to Mike Pirath (Full House Thailand)! Wow can’t believe it took me a while to realize that!

All caught up to Reunited World. Yeo Jin Gu cries prettily but I want him in a show where he’s not dying or crying. Is that too much to ask? Seeing him crying over and over again is too much for me.

    I hope he does something light or funny or anything besides crying soon. I mean he’s great at it but my heart can’t take the back to back tears.

Maybe too early to say, but I like School 2017! The over the top plot, the ending cliffhangers, the mysterious characters – they give me the old Japanese school drama vibes and I love it!

Currently binging on Reply 1997 – the one and only from Reply series that I can watch over and over again. Still in pain with the other 2. Heart still bleeds yo. #teamchilbongie #teamjunghwan

    in my case, the only 1 among the reply series that i watched. i watched ep 1 of both r1994 & r1988 but for some reason, i just can’t seem to get interested.

      I watched all 3, but couldn’t rewatch the other two. Not even once.

      Lucky you! It was really hard the first time in 94, but it got worse in 88. Twice on the losing team is traumatizing 😭

    The best Reply series for me! Story was tighter and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I loved Reply 1988, too, but Team Jung Hwan here and I just hate that he didn’t get a satisfying end/epilogue. Chilbongie in Reply 1994 did, at least.

      Yes, it’s my fav among all the Reply series too! I’m still upset on Jung Hwan didnt get satisfying ending. Argh. Thinking about it now makes my heart bleeds again 😭😭

      Even I’m dissatisfied over the fact that there was no Jun hwan epilogue, they could’ve atleast shown that he found happiness, but they just left him at that, poor guy didn’t even get to confess properly. I felt sorry for him even if I was team task.

        Jung Hwan to me was the most tragic and epic ending of the noblest idiot ever existed in dramaland. Oh the pain we suffer because of him. *sigh*

        This reminds me of one of the best second-lead confessions in K-drama imho… in Sassy Go Go/Cheer Up where Ha-Joon (Ji Soo) used gummy bears to confess to Yeon-Doo (Jung Eun-Ji) without expecting her to return the love since he knows his best friend and her are together. He just that he wanted her to know that he likes her. And that was so sweet. Kind of that moment with the signs in Love Actually. Jung-Hwan deserves as much, if not more! 🙁

Oh noes. Why so many romance cliches in one episode, The Best Hit? I must be weird that I skipped most of them in hope that I could get more plots of the other extended family members. And I really, really miss the deadpan jokes of the earlier episodes. *sigh*

    Ditto! Did not enjoy today’s episode. And I am usually all about the romance.

Since the Song-Song ship has sailed, DOTS lovers must be ecstatic now. Congrats you guys!! Smooth way of shutting people up about the dating rumours!

    I saw this funny comment elsewhere that technically they weren’t lying about not dating because they were already engaged XD

    I just hope the media won’t bother them too much, wedding planning is already stressful enough as it is without having to deal with paparazzi and reporters.

Dear Chicago Typewriter,
Thank you for giving us that great ending (and that legendary wig). You were awesome, in the most awesome-est way possible.

CT ep 15 recap is now flooded with tears. It’s a huge crying mess there.

Just thinking about CT ep 15 turns me into a blubbering mess. Scrolling the Beanies wall and I\’m bursting my tears again. Will it ever dried up? It\’s been ages since a drama makes me feel this way.
