I know!! ….. I mentioned earlier on a fellow Beanie’s wall that I had never watched BOF but I kind of wanted to now due to all the hilarious comments.
The way things are going though, I think I’m finding the Beanie comments and the screenshots waaay more entertaining than the drama could ever be! *laughing*
It has been years since I lastwatched an American TV show regularily. I thought why not start one. Cue to: One hour of uninspired browsing through Netflix and Amazon and I still haven’t found anything
Although I’m sure there are great shows, they’re much too long for me now. There’s no way I’m going to catch up on GoT no matter how good it is. I get tired just thinking about it. lol Each time I’ve signed up for the tree trial of Netflix, I have watched nothing but documentaries. My last show was Dexter and that was… ages ago.
I know plus your whole watching experience changes when you go into a show knowing it will end after 16 episodes vs. not knowing how long the plot will be stretched. I can’t get myself past the first episode of anything because I just don’t find the narratives addicting/ relateable anymore. My last one was The Office (-season 4 ) 😅
I’ve seen way too many jump the shark and turn shitty when they should have ended them instead. Castle, Bones, and so many more that I loved and watched religiously all managed to erase the magic for the last few seasons 🙁 Or they get cancelled on a cliffhanger, like Glades.
That’s why I end up not watching American tv shows on Netflix but usually British or some other country. They are either miniseries or if they are series, the episode count is really low.
May I recommend Broadchurch, very good crime show. Low episode count, only 3 seasons. The first two are on Netflix, the 3rd is currently airing on BBC America. You don’t need to watch the last two seasons to enjoy the first.
i have to say Sherlock is the only British show i watched ( and a couple episodes of Misfits). Thanks for the recommendation I will check it out! I saw some gifs for it on tumblr and it has an ex-harry potter actor which is always a plus 😄
Aside from time matters I realized that I need to relate emotionally with a character while american shows I’ve watched are all about the plot-development. I keep looking for slice-of-life shows a la misaeng, 20 again in vain..
@umbrellaman
Thanks a ton for recommending that show!! I’ve binging it ever since and I just finished it. I lufff it so much. David Tennant and his accent got themselves a new fangirl 💛
There are some pretty decent mystery series from the UK. Prime Suspect (with Helen Mirren) Luther (with Idris Elba), Vera, George Gently, Inspector Lewis.
Then there are other lighter shows like Cranford (with Judi Dench), Doc Martin, Last Tango in Halifax and Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries (this is Australian). The Bletchly Circle was a very good mini series.
After I\’ve cleaned up every piece of news of Lee Min Ki that exists on the internet can someone PLEASE recommend me another actor I can latch onto for distraction?😅

Watched the first two episodes of Shut UpFBB ( Byung-hee-ahhh 😭😭) and immediatly caught the Lee Min Ki bug. Can\’t decide beween Dalja\’s Spring and his movie with Yeo Jin Goo while waiting for his new drama 🙃
I think of joining mydramalist. How does it work? Does it give me recommendations based on stuff I liked and watched? Just trying to predict if entering in the 1xx dramas I watched will be worth it 😅
It doesn’t but there are recommendations written by people, as in : If you liked this drama, you might like that one, because…
And it helps you keep your dramas organized into categories (Plan to Watch, Completed, Currently Watching, On-hold, Dropped).
A link to my list, so you can get an idea: http://mydramalist.com/dramalist/tashia
Some production teams just need to be a combo forever! I just found out the PD for While you were sleeping is not the same one from IHYV and Pinocchio. I love this writer-director duo 😭 Had the same case with Tomorrow with you (same PD, different writer) and I cried buckets because it wasn\’t as fun as OMGhostess and King of Savvy 😪
I just finished Go Ho\’s Starry Night in because @sicarius mentioned it on her wall. Loved it. 😍 I guess summer really means fluff for me. Any recommendation for similar (mini) dramas? 😊
Oh HEY! I didn’t even see this… It was sweet, right.
Splash Splash Love is FANTASTIC
Page Turner? Although it’s not as fluffy.
I just finished KARA: Secret Love, which was kinda cute. haha
Although I’m just finding these things like you are so I don’t have many suggestions.
The more I watch dramas the more I appreciate the older ones. I don\’t know if it\’s just a natural progress but it\’s harder to find new favourites. Currently rewatching My Girlfriend is a gumiho ❤️
1-Why didn\’t the Pastor give the recordings to Do Han instead of taking the detour and giving it Soo Ji?
2-What makes the corrupt police think his family is safe now?
Still LOVE this episode

I figured I could watch My Only Love Song to get over my Circle blues. Now I have to get over my Circle and MOLS blues. Where’s a care chip when you need it?
My favourite shows are I hear your voice, Pinocchio, Oh my ghostess. High School King of Savvy, Misaeng, Squad 38, Signal and now Circle 😀
But these days I crave a drama with romantic tension like the one in MOLS ?☺️
I realize how fast we turn from “Is Jung-yeon human?” in the earlier eps to “Is Woo-jin human now?” in the latest eps. And no preview for part II either. Aargghh…
