South Korea + Netflix = Good TV

I'm excited to him in both upcoming projects. Largely, I like his work and he's nice on the eyes too.

Woo-hoo!!!!

The good thing is that our wishes came true. Hopefully, the couple got to spend a lot of time together during COVID getting to know each other. Otherwise, this will be a fling instead of a relationship. I love each of them as an actor, so I wouldn't want a fling to come between co-starring together again.

Also, a lot of B-list and and C-list quality shows are released because of COVID. This has been the case since June/July.

You write really well, too.

I gave this a heart before even reading it! I heart Bae Doona! Also, the timing is perfect.

Maybe I'll give DS6D another shot.

Thanks! Your mini-rant is what I say in my head about when characters don't speak up. Lhm, TALK!

I didn't say racism, I said scared of foreigners. I also said they reacted to Tony and the white couple the same way. I shook my head at that subway scene too, but two unrelated things.

I'm trying to avoid dropping dramas during coronavirus because I'm trying to occupy my time at home. I, too, dropped The Third Charm after the first episode. Other dramas I dropped after one episode are: A Korean Odyssey, Antique Bakery, Argon, Designated Survivor: 60 Days, The Heirs, and When the Camellia Blooms. I resurrected Abyss after dropping it. My latest drops were To All the Guys Who Loved Me and My Fellow Citizens. Dramas I should've dropped, but finished are Cheese in the Trap (2016), Chicago Typewriter, Dinner Mate, Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency, Fluttering Warning, Healer, Hotel del Luna, Hyena, Introverted Boss, Itaewon Class, She Knows Everything, Sweet Stranger and Me, The Master's Sun, and What's Wrong with Secretary Kim. I hesitate because the reviews are often good, but I'm confused because it's something that makes me want to go outside without a mask on in Florida.

Oh, the wrist grab. I wince every time I see it. Even more so when the woman is dragged for a while before finally wrenching loose. At the last bit I say to myself, "Honey, it's too late. You already let him pull you around." It's even more infuriating when it happens to supposed strong women (like in Night Watchman's Journal's Go Sung Hee). Sometimes I scream in my head, "Her hand is right there! A little lower. It's freaking right there!"

WAIT, you didn't mention the kissing. At first, the lack of overly sexualized scenes is what made me explore Kdramas after watching Mr. Sunshine. But, when you see a couple that's been dating for a few months, there's even a scene with them waking up in the same bed, and she has pursed lips when he kisses her (most recently Hospital Playlist's Jung Kyung Ho and Kwak Sun Young). It's uncomfortable to watch. Do you not want to kiss him? Are you afraid of him? Are you mad at him? These are the questions I think of when I see it. I'm not asking for kissing scenes to become the Extreme Job ending between Lee Ha Nui and Jin Sun Gyu, just maybe something a bit more realistic.

ANOTHER ANNOYING THING, the pushing or the aggressive and continued finger poking, usually by a boss or someone in a senior-level position. Stop touching me! Back up! Who do you think you're talking to?! Ugh, I can't. I get angry for them (mind you the extent of my anger in those moments is to stick my tongue out at the offender every time he is on screen). I ♥ Bae Don Na! SIDEBAR: If you haven't watched Sense8, please do (though your parental advisory sensor may blow up). To me, she a cool badass who's so pretty. But, even she got aggressively poked in Stranger. I kept thinking during that scene that Sun Bak would've broken his fingers after the first poke.

Whoa, I think I'm on a roll. NUMBER FOUR: Not speaking up. If you're my friend or my family and you know something that you KNOW I should know, then tell me. For example, I started watching My Fellow Citizens (dropped it, because I couldn't get past the dumb premise) and *SPOILER ALERT* last chance *SPOILER ALERT* the brother knows his sister is married to a con man and doesn't say anything...WTF, seriously! You're my brother, I know not by blood, but still. Or in Dinner Mate (Biggest. Waste. Of. Time. This. Year.), when the stylist (aka big mouth drama lover) knows what his crazy cousin is doing but doesn't warn his co-worker. Seriously! He's not break family code, it's for her actual safety.

This may not bother most, so I'll keep it short and sweet. The lack of FACIAL HAIR on men. It seems to make an appearance if he's been in a foreign country recently, sick at home for a while, supposed to be anti-establishment or in a certain industry, or depressed. I'm watching It's Okay to Not Be Okay and Kim Joo Heon looked so good with a goatee...and now I keep staring at his face with my head tilted and confused.

Whew, I feel like I'm offload some weight with this post. #6 GLASSES MAKE YOU UNATTRACTIVE. Why is it that every time a character goes through a makeover, it involves getting rid of his or her glasses?? The right pair of glasses on a man is quite handsome.

I agree with BROWNIE STAR (couldn't get ALT 9733 to work) about the Netflix omitting subtitles for English words. I'd love some help with this. In episode three of Hospital Playlist, the two young (teenage or early 20s) parents walk into the PICU, the med student Jang Hong Do says something in English, so no subs, but it's unclear what he says. I have an inkling, but I want verification. If you know, please holla back.

Eight, and then I'll call it a day. Being SCARED OF FOREIGNERS. What's up with that?! I watched Itaewon Class due to the hype...so of course I was disappointed. Should've been called Itaewon's Despicables. There are two scenes, one when the Chris Lyon walks in and when a white couple walks in, and the staff appear genuinely scared. Like, hiding behind the register scared. Seriously? Really? Okay, I see you.

awesome especially for nighttime use

ooooooo, I'm going to have to watch now

I haven't watched Coffee Prince yet. Probably explains all of the KANU commercials with Gong Yoo loveliness.

YES!! Mood of the Day, Hospital Playlist, and even though I never saw the series, Dr. Romantic. There's a BTS clip from 2016 on SBS Catch's YouTube channel that is so hot and steamy.

This was fun, recognized most of the scenes. Favorite Kdrama boyfriend for me or to watch? Does he need the official title??
1. Son Ye Jin + Lee Min Ki in Spellbound (he stayed even though there were ghosts, likes to laugh, and makes jam)
2. Gong Yoo + NO ONE (even though that kiss in the Canadian hotel after his 2nd resurrection seemed real)
3. Yoo Yeon Seok + Anyone (he's so pretty and those lips)
4. Bae Doo Na + Son Seok Koo in Sense8 (yes I know, not officially a Kdrama, but they were super hot)
5. Any guy opposite Son Ye Jin (she's so lucky: Hyun Bin, Jung Hae In, So Ji Sub)
6. Lee Dong Wook + Yoo In Na in Touch Your Heart and Goblin
7. Jo Seung Woo + Bae Doo Na in Stranger (fingers crossed, I think...she could thaw him out)
8. Jung Kyung Ho + Park Hae Soo in Prison Playbook (he's so loyal though his partner is dim, has a temper, and gets locked up)
9. Sung Hoon + Jung Hye Sung in Oh My Venus (they were so cute, I wish they got a spin-off)
10. Lee Ha Nui + Jin Sun Gyu in Extreme Job (sometimes you need a guy willing to ugly kiss with you in public, that's love)

This made me laugh

I agree that she should do more. Like "Which male/female character are you?" or (this one might be hard to do) "Which rare disease do you have?" or "Which family member are you?" (like the overbearing, blind date obsessed mom; the workaholic dad; the perfect daughter who's not allowed to run the company; the DGAF, ear-pinching grandma; the athletic, popular, brother with a secret; the nosy aunt/uncle; or the niece/nephew who's better than your kids) or "Do you have second lead syndrome?"

Your response is funny. If I do that, then I'm a natural born romantic idiot noble OR a noble romantic and a natural born idiot. This is fun.
