Beanie level: Water maid

Doc told me I had scolio, hence the neck pain. That was the week Namlee was confirmed. Four months later they are no more and whaddya know the neck pain came back. Checkups are a hassle. Sigh

Is Answer Me 1988 worth watching or will it leave me emotionally scarred (because that’s the impression I get from some people) or is it both?

    Worth watching. it will leave you emotionally uplifting, albeit full of tears.

    I think it depends on your mood. This is a drama that takes time. It needs to be absorbed to fully enjoy it.

    I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth the watch. This is the drama that made me fall in love with Park Bo Gum.

    Definitely watch it. The who’s-the-husband storyline is not actually the main point, it’s really about family– the kind you’re born into, and the kind that you find. The characters in the neighbourhood are really lovely, and you find out about them through a very slice-of-life way.

    Its definitely worth watching ~ just don’t make assumptions about the ships, and you will be fine. ^_^ And by fine, I mean crying over the family moments and relationships and realness, but not distraught like me.

    The show is worth watching. You will be invested in the families featured in the show. Its more than the romance. Its also about friendship for both the younger cast members and the older cast, family love and struggles of their generation. Its a slice of life and an uplifting story. 😊 hope this helps!

Sort of in the mood to watch one new drama episode today. Should I go Manhole or Strongest Deliveryman?

    Manhole – bright and colorful. Wacky and fun))
    Strongest Deliveryman – so far more cosy and everydayish. Strong female lead. Intriguing characters, i say more complex than MH.
    So it all depends on your mood 🙂

There’re a lot of things in BOTWG that make me cringe but my kokoro is freaking moved by all this star-crossed lurve and that drunk hand-holding-sort-of. What the hell.

I have Clazziquai’s Romeo N Juliet (a 2013 live version) and #궁금해 on repeat the whole week. I browsed forums to see which of their songs most people love and there were so many!

I may or may not be starting to feel regret for not buying the WFKBJ director’s cut DVD. Hmm. The fangirl in me was not fangirl enough when the pre-order was ongoing. Hmmmm.

    Ooh, why? Didja find out what’s in the D-Cut?

    As for me, my dilemma was whether or not to break my bank for the Goblin D-Cut because it was going for $300+ (the Blu-ray version), and get this, NO ENGLISH SUBS. On anything. Not even on the drama, itself. </3
    They're being super mum about all the details for it, which I understand, but I still hope that in the near future, some kind soul out there would share 'em online for poor me to see.

      Ikr! But I’m sure with the extensive fandom that Goblin has, heaven-sent people will find a way to sub them for ppl like me waiting for handouts lol. I’m upset with Buckwheat plushie! Early this year, when Goblin aired it was everywhere (and I couldn’t care less at that time) but when I actually watched Goblin (around Mar) and wanted to have it, it was out of stock in the entire country . Imma need to order ol or fly to SK for that!

        Haha, yeah, I’m one of those people patiently waiting for handouts, too! ?🏼 I’d love to see all the Goblin goodies! I saw a sneak peak (through photos) of the cast reuniting for the commentary segment of the D-Cut and that alone was too good. Also, I’m SO SURE there’s more delicious footage of ShinTak/GongGo that were hidden from us, so I’m dying to know if they put it in the D-Cut and what it looks like!

        Omg, I’ve seen a few Instagram photos of LITERALLY claw machines FILLED w/ Mr. Buckwheat plushies! I’m pretty sure they were in Korea, but I was amazed that they were just in claw machines like that.
        I bought a few Goblin merch online, and saw Mr. Buckwheat on ’em, so if you’re interested, I can share the website to you.

          I haven’t actually checked a site bec I’ll prolly ask a friend in SK to buy for me but if you can send the site, I’ll check it out. Thanks! I’ll be waiting forever for the D-cut eng sub or if I can learn Hangul, the raw will be a piece of cake! Asaa~

      Someone on Twitter posted some pictures + the photobook and I’m just drooling with envy. They gave a list of all the stuff in the box, including how long each interview/bts/talking videos were and there were so many! D-: The prod team’s being strict about sharing photos online too so the rest of us can just whine in our pool of tears.

        That sounds great! Do you know if the Weightlifting Fairy D-Cut have English subtitles? I’m pretty sure that’ll be me when I see goodies from the Goblin D-Cut. I’d love to own a K-drama DVD/D-Cut box one day because it looks absolutely magical! I love the packaging in K-entertainment stuff. I would’ve totally invested in the Goblin D-Cut if at least the actual drama had Eng subs. I would’ve been okay if the bonus goodies were raw. I’ll be okay, though.

          I haven’t read any info re: the subtitles but I honestly think I wouldn’t mind it; I’ve re-watched the series so many times, haha! I never cared about kdrama d-cuts at all until WF came along. When I find my new crack I’ll be sure to stay updated if it starts dvd preorders. Muahaa.

I never expected BOTWG to feel like Goblin but I didn’t expect this romcom vibe either. The editing can be choppy and the acting better, but strangely in the past 2 episodes my kokoro was ~moved~

So a clip from It’s Okay That’s Love keeps popping up on my IG and I’m struck by how TALL everyone is. Kwangsoo, Jo Insung, Gong Hyojin, Lee Sungkyung?

    And Nam Joohyuk is as tall as Jo Insung. I’m still amazed at how the WFKBJ stylists dressed him up to look…normal sized most of the time.

    I remember Lee Sungkyung looked short when she’s standing next to Kwang Soo.

Hi, you. Care to help a beanie out?
Which should I watch first: Age of Youth, This Week My Wife Will Have an Affair, Shut Up Flower Boy Band, or Chicago Typewriter?

    I would recommend Chicago Typewriter!!! Loved it more than others!!!

    Shut Up Flower Boy Band!! I enjoyed every show you listed, but this one is one of my all time favorites. Plus, the music is so good!! 🎶😬

    Ohhhh that was hard. If you’re feeling like watching heavier dramas, either TWMWWHAA or Chicago Typewriter. Eeeeee but they’re all so good.

    They are all so different genres so it depends on what themes you may want to see.
    You can start with CT & flower boy band

I know I said I love Misaeng months ago, but I’m still at Episode 6. It needs the right mood and a good weekend to binge-watch it… Wait for me, Jang Geurae!

New on my K-pop playlist this week: Clazziquai (so chill), Coffeeboy (so quiet), Nam Taehyun/South Club, and Drug Restaurant (Jung Joonyung’s band; when are they releasing a new album?)

    Clazziquai Project was my first introduction to Korean music. I have all their albums. They are so amazing. Have you seen the video of them on Immortal Songs 2? Alex and Horan’s harmonies, so good! I wish I good buy it!! https://youtu.be/ZwrFxMcwB_E

      Thanks for this! I first learned about them long ago because of their Samsoon song; found their 2016 album on Spotify and realized it’s the same group! Catching up on their music <3

        I really like their albums Blessed and Mucho Punk. But, all of their music is good 😊 So eclectic.

Javabeans’ positive response to Bride of Habaek is a pleasant surprise! Should I wait for next week or should I start the four episodes? Tick, tick, tick…

I finished Fight My Way. The writing definitely could have been better and then some; I’d have dropped this if it weren’t for Park Seojoon.

    Javabeans was right when she said that there are decent actors and there are actors like PSJ. Plus, a great performance also makes an actor a hundred times more attractive, heeeee
