Love movies

I loved this series. The FL came on so strong - and the ML helped her, quietly.
Yes, she could be obnoxious at times but winning in politics is not easy.

Park Sung Hoon is an excellent actor - he can take a role such that one couldn't even recognize him. Multi-talented.
This series is a possible rewatch for me.

It's hard to imagine a movie or series without tropes. It's when a trope is overused is when it becomes hackneyed.
Also, the more episodes a series has, the more tropes the writer can throw in the script
Yes, the second-half breakup is so tropish that it happens more often than not. After a long second-half breakup, the ending is not always satisfying or believable.
I haven't finished ep 3, since I was confused about the school situation but thanks to you and another person, I can go on!

Thank you again!

Thank you so much.
We have something like that in the US but mainly it is after-school businesses teaching foreign languages and Math in particular. Also, these schools operate during the summer.

I've been suspicious of Cheong Mi - she appears to have some hidden motives that are not clear yet.

There appears to be serious competition between these private tutoring schools and their teachers.

This is an interesting series without a lot of the usual tropes.

I was confused and now I can watch it and understand it better.

Thank you again.

Thank you, Hala!
I was really confused.
Now I can watch this series with more clarity.
Again, thank you!

Can someone explain why:
Teachers Seo Hye Jin and Lee Jun Ho teach at a certain high school. Why do they also teach (or want to teach) at other schools? Thanks!

Read this MDL article and then think about it

me too!

What an absolutist view.
Criminality has a wide range of offenses.
It is a matter of degree.

Who cares, he is one of the best Korean actors around. Watch him in Burning.
Artists like painters, for example, may have some drug dependencies but should we not appreciate their art?
Some composers in the past were drug dependent, so should we not listen to their beautiful music?
Separate the art from the person's dependencies.

And let us not forget alcohol dependency - alcohol is a drug.
Many artists are alcohol-dependent. Do we not appreciate those artists?

I liked her in K/series Forest with Park Hae Jin. (2020)

Very well said. Thank you!

Yes, I am waiting for the next Xu Kai drama with Tan. I think one either likes her or not like her. I've seen her in quite a few dramas.

Road Home was one of my favorites. Some with her I like, some, I liked less.

AASOL was fantastic - ML absolutely darling and Jin Mai does remind me of L&P.

Ok, I need a dictionary of symbols for the dramas we watch.
Everyone knows CLOY but I get lost in the symbol - there is no looking :-) haha.

When I clean up my list tonight I'll put a symbol for each drama.

I think that would be a nice article for MDL!!! An MDL symbol dictionary, Ha!

We also need a symbols for the actors/actresses.

I'll look at Lighter and Princess.
Darn I am on ep 7 on Meet your self, and I keep fast forwarding.
I hope there will be some romance between the main actors.

I have rewatched Road Home - at least twice in most parts. Interesting that you didn't like the FL. I've watched many of her series.

Fireworks of My Heart - 3 times watched but not the rescue scene.
I love the FL in Fireworks.

What did you think about Amidst a Snow Storm of Love?
I liked it mostly.

I've watched Cunning Single Lady 3 times in the last few years.
really liked it.
I also think the CDramas have improved in the last few years.
So much hype has been showered on KDramas but the product has not always been as good as the hype.

I'll look for Fight My Way.

Thanks Twinty - End of the day - off for now.

Great "talking with you"

Yes, I sort of liked it.
I like the ML in It's Ok not to Be Ok and FL in My Liberation Notes.
But I Queen of Tears was just ok for me -
I liked the beginning episodes ....
I really like C dramas more I guess.

The writer started off ok, I really liked it at the beginning but so she gave up her dreams? What were her dreams? I don't think I remember what they were. I think at the end she was basically happier than before because she had her two children and their significant others all under one umbrella - except for her son, who would have probably live with his girlfriend and her child.

Needless to say I was pretty disappointed. Oh well, there is always a next one.

Did you like Queen of Tears? There is supposed to have two more episodes in early May but no notice from Netflix yet.

The mother thought she had lung cancer - the doctor told her she needed further tests to verify it It was so dull toward the end but I think she was ok, at that point I didn't really care about her and her miserable life she made for herself, her husband and her two adult children.

Yes, Xu Kai is an interesting actor but he didn't have an interesting role toward the end - all the show was pointed to the mother. He just happily became part of the family but basically he played a small role toward the end. Yes he stayed romantic with the FL but she was sort of a turnoff, especially showing any affection with him in public.

Definitely not a rewatch for me.

Same here on Choice - the mother's role took the big role, leaving the others behind. It was so sad to watch the ending. What a game the mother's role played.
Yang Zi is also not my favorite actress. In Choice her role was so accommodating to everyone to her own detriment. It started really well and ended in a whimper.

So the FL lead in Go Go Squid is the one in Best Choice - which started really well but went down a few steps toward the end. I will definitely watch it. Thank you twinty!

Ok, thank you - I'll mark it down to watch.
I am keeping a Word document on all the shows that I want to watch.
It comes in pretty handy - the one I have on MDL is too long and series get lost in it.
