Beanie level: Noble idiot

I’m finally not a candy anymore! However, getting upgraded to Jang Geu-rae makes me feels guilty for still not having seen Misaeng yet… I don’t think I can handle the realness tho.

Halfway through 2017 and I’ve only completed two dramas. That’s alarmingly lower than last year.

    This was me until the latest batch of premiers two weeks ago.

I’m 99% sure the school they’re using for Circle is the same one that was used for Solomon’s Perjury. Interesting to see how the same location can look different through different style of filming.

    I definitely did a double take when it first appeared on screen. And then my brain was like “all those drama deaths at one school can’t be good for morale.”

Episode #1 of Circle feels like the tvN I’ve been missing. I hope this indicates good things for the show and network going forward.

It’d be nice if we could have more crime dramas that weren’t about women getting murdered every week. Police Unit 38 did it splendidly.

    Omg, that’s literally all that happened in the first ep of Tunnel. Eeek!

      I was really tempted to try Tunnel, but I’ve heard increasing disappointing things about it as it’s finished it’s run 🙁

        No way! I always came across positive comments on the show. Hmm… did you read/skim through the recaps and comments for Tunnel? Well, I’ll try to let you know my thoughts when I watch more of it. I’ve only watched ep 1. 😅

          The comments I saw were mostly from twitter and tumblr. I haven’t checked out the recaps because of spoilers. I was surprised myself because I also saw a lot of positive buzz at it’s start. I hope you’ll like it at least!

            Ah, well, I’ve seen a lot of positive comments here on DB, so that’s surprising. I’ll have to find out for myself! ✊🏼 I hope I continue to like it, too. So many shows now, though. Sigh…

    ive actually been wanting to watch police unit 38…is it as good as they say?

      I really enjoyed it! I thought about dropping it early on because the first few eps were a little slow tbh, but I’m really glad I stuck with it. It’s a fun crime comedy that manages to hit some strong emotional beats as well. Seo In Guk and Ma Dong Seok are phenomenal together.

        Love Ma Dong-seok, so *adds it to my list*

        This reminded me of the hilarious interview Dave did with Ma Dong-seok to promote Police Unit 38, so I actually just posted it on my wall. Have you seen it? If not, you should check it out! It’s quite funny.

I feel like dramas at the moment are going for concept instead of actual writing. Just give me characters I can give a damn about. If you can’t get me invested in them, the rest doesn’t matter

    That’s true, I have dropped some dramas because of the writing, only the idea is there.

    Try individualistic Jo Young! Its character driven and also short.

It feels petty to complain about, but instead of a 👎, I’d rather you’d just comment on why you disagree with me. A 👎 doesn’t contribute to the conversation in any interesting way & feels juvenile.

Watching season 2 of Sense8 and my love for Bae Doo Na is bursting. Secret Forest better pull through.

      Do it. It’s fun to see actors from dramaland and chungmuro cameo in her scenes 😁

        Omg, I never realized that could happen. Super cool! Another reason to check it out. Thanks, Callie!

    Oh yeah, me, too ! I also miss jb and gf’s conversation at the end of the week. I forgot the name of that feature.

With the current trend of using dark/desaturated filters (looking @ you tvN…) for kdramas, the use of colors in Mystery Queen is a welcomed treat.

    It’s interesting to see how they sometimes use color as part of the story in dramas. It doesn’t always apply, of course, and it doesn’t always work either. But it’s certainly something to note when it does.

School has got me so busy that I don’t even have time to watch my Fri-Sat shows anymore. Can’t wait for finals to be over 😴

Every once in a while I get a strong urge to rewatch CITT, because the college feels™ were so good… probably the best I’ve seen along with AOY.

I’m finally in the mood to watch a thriller again, and I’m thinking it’ll be either Tunnel or Voice, but I can’t decide which one I should start…

    Watch Tunnel! It’s really good, especially this week’s episodes, they were packed with heart-pounding suspense! It’s dark yet with fish out of water humor!

      I second this! I didn’t finish voice, but I’m really enjoying Tunnel. I didn’t like the characters in Voice, much prefer the characters and the relationships in Tunnel. Also, Choi Jin-Hyuk ❤️

        I agree! The characters in Tunnel have more warmth and humour then those in Voice. I watched Voice too and thought it was good. The best thing about it was the villain!!
        That being said, i agree that Tunnel is better.

          Exactly! I watched Voice too and the villain was so clever and cruel, he gave me chills. I liked the whole cast but there were parts where I felt the story just fell through!

            Yesss. His cruelty was horrifying but I loved how smart he was and how he toyed with the two lead characters. I thought Lee Hana did a better job than Jang Hyuk…but overall I agree that the story fell through. I’m still confused about that ending. Was that his imagination? Lol. Or are we supposed to get ready for Voice II?

Withdrawal from a good drama couple always sucks. I miss my babes…

I nearly had an existential crisis trying to decide which of my fave characters/shows should be my icon & cover image… it felt like choosing between children… WHO DO I LOVE MORE?!?!?
