I'm enjoying this drama so far, but I think it's taken far too long to get at the meat of the story, aka Ki-ho and Mok-ha's relationship. I write about it here: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/11/16/castaway-divas-biggest-strength/

This is still one of my absolute favourite dramas. It's flawed obviously, but it's also SO ambitious. I wrote an essay years ago about all of its brilliant existential themes, and it's still probably the best thing I've written: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2022/05/14/the-existential-brilliance-of-extraordinary-you/

I like this special a lot, I think it did something really special with Hyuga and Makoto's relationship. I actually just wrote about it if you're interested: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/08/24/accepting-influence-in-rich-man-poor-woman-dramas/

A take I heard about King the Land recently inspired this blog post on why I love rich man/poor woman dramas: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/08/24/accepting-influence-in-rich-man-poor-woman-dramas/

I love this drama, it's one of my favourites. I found a way to work it into a blog post today: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/08/24/accepting-influence-in-rich-man-poor-woman-dramas/

After lots of recaps and a review, I've written about F4 Thailand again!

I get it 😂
Pretty much every weekend I've watched has had at least one character I couldn't stand, but this one had MANY.
I'm really glad you enjoyed this! ♥️

If you're not very emotionally invested in it, this is a pretty fun light watch!
Take a drink every time Dan-dan tries to quit and fails, or every time Young-gook overlooks his kids being abused, and you've got a pretty good drinking game too! 😂

Thank you, and you're very welcome!

I wrote a little something something about how King the Land treats performative smiling: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/07/02/smiles-in-king-the-land/

Not willing to sit through the whole thing but curious to know what happens? Here's a recap I wrote: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/06/17/young-lady-and-gentleman-weekend-drama-recaps/
Enjoy!

I love this drama - I'd say it's one of my top ten K-dramas - but not everyone feels the same! A group watch with some friends inspired this write-up on Healer and its cultural staying power: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/05/27/a-healer-retrospective/

Uncalled for, but reminded me of when he played the child-abusing villain in Mother and was receiving death threats because his performance was so convincing. Talent will talent, huh?

So, revisiting this drama was an interesting experience: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/04/06/does-anyone-remember-ma-boy/

Oooh, that's an interesting read of it! 😲

"Revenge fell short because it was about exposing all of these vulnerabilities that are not standalone traits of the evil she has committed." - Exactly, thank you! All you lovely smart people are saying what I wanted to say but better! 👏👏👏

I wrote an analysis of Lee Sara's character and why her downfall wasn't as satisfying as the other villains: https://crabbyfordramas.wordpress.com/2023/03/20/the-glory-was-great-but/

Me too! I'lll be happy with a last minute cameo!!!

Well, Seo Hyun-jin and Yoo Yeon-seok are still gone 🥲
