I’m just ignoring some random plot-jumps in character development/ motivation in favour of squealing for potential future awesomeness thanks to the resolution!
(To be honest.. I always take the side of squealing! 😀 )
I’m one of the ones (few?) who have had major Dan Ah issues since the first ep. I forgot(?) to watch ep 6 last week. And will probably get caught up. That sounds like something I should do 🙂 but, can you tell me–what is she like in these eps? She’s my only draw back for the entire series.
Haha! She actually is the personification of the plotholes in character motivation i mentioned.. we still dunno why she is so extreme and her love line comes rather abruptly (esp from Kang-Soo’s end).. but her interactions later are really cute..
Similarly with Jin kyu.. there are leaps of logic & it’s a bit unrealistic that he would do the stuff he does (trying to remain unspoilery here) but he does such a brilliant job acting the scenes he has been given..
For this drama I have taken the approach of not looking into plotlines and character motivation.. and to just enjoy the interactions because the actors do quite a nice job with what they have been given. Better for my peace of mind.. since i already have so much to rant about in real life!
Let’s start a petition to make it illegal to cast such cutely-dimpled guys as bad guys! It’s not fair! I’ve been burnt too often! Let me fangirl in peace!
Drama Writing 101: You don’t have to make your second lead inexplicably and irredeemably evil for the audience to love and root for your first lead. Especially when said second lead is in possession of such cute dimples. This is unacceptable CRUELTY!!!
I KNOW!!! It is soooo mean and cruel!! Why must they do this to us?!?! I’m sticking with some secret plotting..! weird that im more into him than Kyung-pyo when the whole reason I started SD was cuz of him.. maybe thats why the writer felt the need to do it… but nooooooo
Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any secret plotting involved. The Dimple has decided to put his trust in the first person who extended their hand while he was in a rut, and that happens to be Ji-yoon’s evil mother. Add some extra petty jealousy over Dan-ah and Kang-soo’s relationship and voila you get a typical second lead. What a waste of a good character build up in the first 4 episodes (and a waste of Kim Sun-ho’s nuanced acting too). You can tell I’m still so bitter about it. Curse you, writer! The only way I’ll get over this is if they prove me wrong later on, but I don’t want to continue watching if they’re going to ruin Jin-gyu even more. He’s my fave!
Yeah it really is a waste.. stupid stupid ppl. and I was totally waiting for him to be the brains of the management behind the delivery app which doesn’t seem like it’s gonna happen.. sigh
he is swoonworthy to watch!! I’m just gonna throw my morals down the drain while the swoon at his dimples to watch. You not gonna give the character I want… then im not gonna follow the rules to only root for the good guys! Hmmph
I’ve root for bad guys before (the ambitious Kim Myung-min over the righteous Lee Seon-gyun in The Great White Tower), but the writing was so good in that drama that I don’t ever feel guilty.
WTH?! I thought the bromance was on hold only temporarily & would resume… but Oh Jin Kyu has gone off the dark side??!? Nooooooooooo…… #StrongestDeliveryMan #GuysWithSuchCuteDimplesCantBeEvil
Beanies – It\’s finally happened! I now spend more time on Dramabeans than all social media+emails+non-work related net lurking combined! Do I need an intervention?! Or this is normal beanie behavior?!
Lmao!! I am in the office right now logged onto Dramabeans on my computer and phone (for when I take bathroom breaks of course)! This site, and the k-drama life, should have come with warning, “Abandon all hopes of returning to a normal life, ye who enters here”. And in fine print on the bottom, “side effects include drama addiction, swooning, shipping, oppa obsessions, posting at all times of the day and specially at night, sleeplessness, feels, etc. All effects are PERMANENT.”
Absolutely normal. I’d show you my surfing history, but don’t know how to paste pictures on replies! I’ve wanted to ask you how your dissertation? is going. Dr. Rainbow Unicorn is something I’m dying to call you!
Aww.. you are just so sweet!
On thesis end: 2 Chapters done & 3 more to go.. the most difficult ones though and the minute my brain blanks I end up at DB and then… ah shall we say I need to slap myself back to thesis chapter staring?! Keeping my fingers crossed that I can finish all the chapters and revisions by end of Sept.. just in time for LJS’s While you were Sleeping 😀

Wasnt Strongest Deliveryman supposed to be about how they become successful CEO\’s of a delivery app? Right now it seems to be going vigilante-justice mode… not that i\’m complaining.

Gaaahhhh!!The only legal way to watch GoT in Singapore is via Starhub cable.. why in this world of modern technology is cable tv the only legal way to watch??!?!?!?!? internet options???! ughh
It’s a clip from Strong Heart I think, when LDW was 1 of the hosts already. I wonder what Knetz’ reaction then. Though it seems there’s a double standards for them, male idols can be topless or lots of skin and the reaction would be “he’s so handsome” etc, while generally female idols can dress or dance too sexily or they’d end up being sl*t shamed.
Ohh right click & paste as plain text! Got it! never knew there were that many options on pasting.. i thought only Excel gives multiple options on paste! Lol

Q: Why would immigration records show both Byun Han-Soo & Lee Yun Seok coming back to Korea in 1982? Need passport stamping to fly in Byun\’s body for burial?? #FatherIsStrange
Father is Strange wait led me to \”Daddy you, Daughter me\” trailers- soo funny! Any idea when the subs for the movie will be out & where?! Cant find them anywhere-weird considering it released in April
I watched the first ep of Father and I realized how charming Jung So-min is, and started looking up her filmography and saw the movie you’re referring to ^^ and I was like, “Oh, this looks fun!” I love a good body/soul-swapping genre! It reminded me of Freaky Friday, but it’s the dad instead of the mom. I actually would love to see that same premise used in a K-drama.
… sorry, I just wanted to share that lil’ tidbit… I don’t actually have any answers to your question… 😔
Hahaha! You totally got me! I was so excited to see notification and that someone was about to enlighten me..! Hehe
But yes.. I too love a good body swap! Freaky Friday.. Hot chicks.. of course secret garden! The way the body language remains the same is unendingly hilarious.. Oh this trailer the dad with the teenage soul waving at her bestie was gold!!
Oh! Oops! Hahaha, sorry! 😅 I’ll try to remember to let you know if/when I ever come across it, myself. 🙂
Oh, did you mean The Hot Chick w/ Rob Schneider and Rachel McAdams? Pwahaha! Omg, I loved that movie! It was so so funny. But yeah, I love all the tropes of a body-swapping genre. Never gets old and always a hoot to watch. I also love time-travel genres that are more like 13 Going on 30, Miss Granny, and 17 Again.
