Mr. P said it's not so bad after EP 1 (I know it's him this time, lol) so maybe I'll try again sometime.

To be clear, it's not that "Khemjira" doesn't have scary or suspenseful moments in subsequent episodes but rather than episode 1 dives straight in, so you know what you're getting.

Aren't we in this community supposed to be rejecting judgemental attitudes about which relationships among consenting adults are OK and which aren't?

Yes, yes we are. My bad. I really like age gap dramas and didn't think of how my teasing RX about age would come across for others.

Shine (Orchestric Ver.) - episode 7 (penultimate episode)
Bella ciao - this song came to mind while watching this episode.
This episode is a heavy one. The emotions and events cut deep. There are some triggers in this episode.
After watching this episode I feel a weight on my mind; a reflective atmosphere clouds my mind as I think back on what happened in it, and how those events echo the realities of the present and past.
You do not finish this episode with a smile; you leave with a somber feeling.
Even though I have a lot to say, and will be saving it for the finale review, I must point out the stark similarities between the events in this episode and what happened this past week in Nepal. It certainly makes you wonder if this series is really just a reflection of the past or a reflection of a constant present.

Well, as they say, as long as we don't change and learn, history will repeat itself

PTW = Plan to Watch

CW = Currently Watching

Either could be referring to the MDL lists as well as talking about a drama.

I don't think I've seen TW 😊

ABO Desire

This show is literally crawling especially for the second leads. Poor Gao Tu. I feel so sorry for this man. I need his sister to get better and knock some sense into his head. He's leading such a sad existence right now. I almost wish he finds someone better. In a way, Sheng Shao You and Gao Tu might have been better suited for each other. SSY would have never mistreated GT for being an omega and GT would have never hurt SSY. 🥲 Still can't stand Hua Yong. 😒

The Nameless Season

Ending was cute but first half was boring. This would have been better if it were faster paced or more fleshed out as a story.

Khemjira

I'm not sure if I should start this or not. 1 episode a week is too little. But if it too slow moving then watching on-going might be better.

Doctor's Mine

I have essentially lost interest in this drama. Their explanations did not sit right with me,

Thank you for posting this. I appreciate the insight and also the warning about the emotional weight of this episode. It was a rough one. I cried a lot, especially when Apo broke down, but also Victor’s parents. It is so sad and frustrating to watch, knowing politics does work this way sometimes. I also want so badly for the characters to understand each other and the web they are caught in, so as not to place blame on each other. That is clearly hard to do, though. I hope at least there will be some reconciliation and resolution at the end, although now it doesn’t look hopeful

As usual the acting in this episode was superb, with so much being conveyed without words. Apo was especially wonderful but i really can’t say the others weren’t too. The music was also perfect, and lent so much to the emotional weight of each scene. No matter how this show ends, the quality has been top notch. I continue to be so moved each week.

side note: the credits say Fuaiz from 4Minutes is in this but I can’t recognize him. I assume he is one of Victor’s friends but I could be wrong. Has anyone recognized him or can point him out?

Have fun! I’m not there this time but my friend is, so she’s texting me a play-by-play. I hope everything goes smoothly.

The Nameless Season

Cute but forgettable. If you like the story of “I like my friend but am afraid to tell him” this isn’t a bad version, but nothing new or especially touching. Short, innocuous watch.
