teacher Shim feels like he is a teacher from some japanese drama who accidentally dimension-travelled into a korean one but didn´t even notice the difference, and just carried on his mission. Such an endearing character, really.
Final thought after the School binge ~ Dae Hwi looks like a younger Kim Soo Hyun, and Eun Ho reminds me of Yoon Seung Ha from Panda and Hedgehog, but I can’t figure out who my boy Tae Woon looks like?
A good few people have been making the connection between the two, but I don’t see it at all–or maybe I choose not too. I think Jung-hyun is much better looking. 🙃
I was watching the new episode and suddenly realized that Tae Woon kind of looks like Geol Oh from Sungkyunkwan Scandal. They both have sleepy eyes, similar mouth shape, and give off a similar bad-boy-with-a-secret-identity-and-heart-of-gold vibe.
Also, the gifs shared by Beanies do not do justice to the cute couple that is at the heart of this drama ~ they trust each other, and are friends before all else, and smitten and gahhhhhh
Had the stomach flu yesterday and today, so I ended up binge watching the first ten episodes of School 2017 ~ I\’ve never seen one of the School series before, but this was quite adorable! I\’m a fan.
get well soon!!! also, school 2013 is really quite good and though school 2015 is rather odd, you should really give the ost (reset by tiger jk ft jinsil) a listen. it has super meaningful lyrics and is honestly like emo cotton candy for your ears
Well, after a month of no dramas left me wondering when/if I would ever start again, I find myself at 1 am binge watching a random drama, as normal. I guess I just needed a vacation from drama land.
Wow, for the first time in a year or two I have gone three weeks without watching any episodes… It feels weird to realize this, I\’m not even sure what to watch now that I\’m thinking about it… 0.0
I have friends who don’t usually watch dramas who have liked it. I’ll try the first episode, but I’ve never been interested enough to watch one of the School series yet.
Oh I am yet to finish it- I think I left it at around ep 22 when they started focusing on the love story..
Perks? Hmm.. Watching K-variety, getting into Kpop, having some time free in your life? 😛 There are many actually! I am having fun!
I’m not much of a K-variety girl, but I’m already more into Kpop than is healthy 😛 I’ve decided to sleep more, and read over watch. I think my computer and I need to take a break in our relationship. 😉
Ah! Good decision! I tried but didn’t succeed at getting a break from my relationship with my laptop! Hope you succeed though! *Sending you good wishes* 😛
In the morning I have my final exam, and I need to pass it to move on to the internship and thesis term of my masters. I\’d appreciate any gifs and encouraging oppas that can be spared!!
Thanks! I just have my final internship and thesis presentation this fall, so I’m pretty excited now! But for the next couple weeks I’m going to sleep and watch dramas! Any advice on what to binge? Seven Day Queen is at the top of my list, so many beanies seem to love it.
Congrats on passing! What are you studying, if you don’t mind me asking? (Feel free to not – I just have a lot of friends who just finished up PhD’s and other grad programs, so I’m always curious, and I know how hard y’all work.) Hopefully you’ll get some much deserved rest.
I’m really digging Father is Strange right now — and I don’t usually do weekend family dramas. It’s got great characters and none of the storylines is too over the top. I’m also really liking School 2017 which is my first in that franchise. It’s pretty cute and fluffy, and I like all the leads. Forest of Secrets is obviously excellent, but not exactly relaxing…
I didn’t watch 7DQ, but I maaaayyy check it out after all this hype. Melo sagueks aren’t really my thing (I prefer my sageuks to be of the fusion variety like Arang and the Magistrate or straight history like Six Flying Dragons).
I’m supposed to be studying respiratory distress for an exam, but Park Seo Joon keeps taking my breath away in Fight My Way (partly from laughing too hard at the moose and partly because dude is cute)
Whattt ~ I’m a water maid now! My life of drudgery continues (kdrama land is a tyrranical ruler after all, destroying sleep, flaunting food in front of the hungry, killing loved ones)
3rd and 4th episodes of Best Hit? Daebak. Yoon Shi Yoon pretending to be from the 90s and discovering technology is hilarious. So far, I think Best Hit is a Hit for me 😉
Yeah, after 1-2 I wasn’t even sure of continuing, but remembering that Yoon ShiYoon hadn’t really been in it yet kept me going. I can’t wait until next week now! ?
JUST WHEN DID THE 1990IES BECOME SO ANCIENT that a person from then is this flabbergasted in 2017! then what about me! I am from the 1980ies! Is that, like, viking era now?
… honestly, now I’ll I can think of is Korean Vikings, and I want a fantasy sageuk where Vikings show up… #5amthoughts #itwouldbeawful #itmightbefuninanawfulway
@yuelie I have a request for your oppa of the day ~ if you haven\’t already, please spam our beanies\’ walls with pics of Lee Seung Gi tomorrow ~ I\’ve been missing him since he\’s in the army 😿
