I just wish I could finish it. Unfortunately I have the same issue as other commenters here - I can't go past PhantomL/GhostC because none of the 4 choices register as correct. I know the right answer, and have retaken the quiz trying all four answers multiple times. No go. Oh well - I will just have to look forward to your next quiz.☺️
Thank you, great fun! Hilariously true and well-written! I played it 4 times to see some other Red Flags. They are so irresistible on screen, the best and safest space to enjoy them.
I have a genuine question for those complaining about Jisoo's acting and even more, actively hate on it. (As a…
It’s a comment section, not a cheerleading section.
“If you have nothing nice nor constructive to say…” Nice: Her sadness in Eps 2-3 was genuinely and unexpectedly moving, almost triggering. She evoked every past traumatic breakup I’ve gone through, and had me thinking long after the episode was done.
Constructive: There are several things she resorted to habitually throughout the show that I found distracting, but I won’t go there because people are getting so upset. I knew nothing about her at all before I finished BoD, so this is not hate talking, or bias against anything she’s done before.
You ask, “how the heck do you think she can improve in acting if she is not allowed to act…” Smaller roles, based not on her star-power draw, but on her abilities.
BoD was not terrible, Jisoo’s acting was not *terrible*, but I feel the overall quality might have been much higher with a more experienced actress in the lead role. She might have made a fantastic 2FL in this show, while a more qualified actress wasn’t given a shot at the lead because she didn’t have an enormous fandom.
(Also, thanks very much for ID-ing that it’s K-drama (or C-drama, etc.) in the title. I haven’t explored anything outside of K-drama, so it’s frustrating to begin and find I know none of the answers.)
I hadn’t seen most of these dramas so this was hard! But you know what? The ones I had seen I got wrong too! I had to guess ALL the guesses almost every time, unless I got one right by accident. Even so it was fun to try penalty-free, thank you so much. 😊 I guess I will have to watch more dramas and try again later.
I think that the way Siyeol treats Eunho is so lovely, his patience and calm makes me feel warmed
For me, that’s the only part of the show that has kept me watching. The attempt at chemistry is only going one way, though. It’s like trying to light a fire with damp firewood. He’s the spark, trying earnestly, but there’s nothing flammable enough there for him to ignite.
I think it made a lot of sense that he withdrew from the face/eye contact and went to pay attention to her ankle. Because: He only confessed to her before because of alcohol, so he wasn’t ready to say it to her sober. He is perhaps shy or reserved. He hadn’t found the courage to confess to her without being drunk. Therefore , he must have been shocked. I think he needed time to take stock in the situation.
After tending to her ankle for a minute, then he could work up the courage to look her in the eye and see how she is doing. He then will see that she feels very awkward, and that will be his cue to man up, and say sorry, 💕, whatever he needs to say to convey his feelings and and make her feel secure.
Thank you, that was a really fun and creative concept! I hadn’t considered umbrellas scenes as a trope before, so it was nice to remember a small moment in a well-liked drama. Satisfying to remember the scene correctly, and not agonizing to guess wrong. I VERY much appreciate no sudden death, and being allowed to continue.

I think ep. titles are important to the flow, anticipation, analysis. etc.
Went back to check the 8 eps so far.
(One odd thing: they actually had a translation on the screen for Ep03’s title, but that was the only one. Funny!)
EP01
Unexpected variation
(Or unforeseen, Unpredictable )
예측하지 못한 변주곡
Ep 02
Sound and fury
소리와 분노
EP03
죽음을 멈출 수는 없으니까
Because I can’t stop for death
EP04
판도라의 상자
Pandora's Box
Ep06
새빨간 거짓말
A whopper
EP07
버리지 못해 텅 비어버린
I couldn't throw it away/Unable to let go,
it became completely empty
Ep08
어둠 속에 벨이 울릴 때
When the bell rings in the darkness
(I’m not a native speaker, and my Korean is very rusty, so please forgive any errors.)
재빨간 거짓말: a red-hot lie, a whopper.
간지럼 나무 아래서: Under the tickle tree
Ep8’s title was something about a bell ringing in the darkness
I appreciate your hard work. Thank you for entertaining us!
😘💕
