Thank you @rsooinna

I needed a nudge and a pole to hold me up to slog few more eps 🫣🤒😷
In the hope that I find something to clutch on to which triggers brain activity.

🤪🤪

What the heck???
Did someone pull a fast one?

Am 2 episodes down (equivalent of 4 eps in Cdrama) and I still can't feel any pulse...

Am I dead?

I feel like saying "KDrama is dead" ala the scientists in Three Body declaring "Physics is dead".

How did this Drama beat CLOY and GOBLIN?

Just it's 2 eps would need to BEAT past 400 KDrama first 2 eps of even B minus (less than rating 6.5) shows before it can even take a peek at CLOY🫢🤔


Okay, DISCLAIMER : Am here fresh from watching WLIS ( Will Love In Spring) and I am here on KDrama watch after 9 months of living solely on Cdrama.

Feeling totally lost at the disconnect with KDrama (which I inhabited exclusively for 3 years).

How did audience taste CHANGE so randomly and drastically????!!!!

I REALLY hope someone who fell in love and was completely swept away at Ep 1-2 of this drama will come forward and share the magic and beauty that I have missed.

I've lost my sight too I think - can't see an iota of artistic lighting or Cinematography nor hear any evocative OST.

It has used the WORST and cheapest story telling plot moving devices..

This might be sounding like trolling - but trust me - am losing my mind trying to understand this and absolutely have no troll instincts...

I WANT TO hear a lover extol to high heaven what seductive beauty in the first 2 eps (and beginning of 3) put him / her in a tizzy of blazing excitement

I have Rising With the Wind on my PTW ;-p

Thanks for the pump up ..

@justjacky

Hey thanks for the heads up ..
WOW .. I just put on PTW "I Live Elsewhere"

It's CDrama?? Or Taiwanese?

Isn't the ML the guy from "In Blossom"?

Haven't seen the FL earlier. Is she a good actress?

(chuckle!!)

Would love to see ya'll commenting freshly on the TTEOTM thread ..

Moi already has THREE solid rewatches (with magnifying glass) ..
BUT I STILL CRAVE a helping ..

It's 100% going to get a 4th round soon enough!!

:-(

I am yet to watch JOL 1
It's saved in my Cookie Jar - only for those BAAAAD stretches when there is NOTHING.

During a phase that is the "Winter of Our Discontent" with lack of quality drama ;-p

I watched the show's EP 18-21 (out of PIG-UGLY, HAIRY GREED on the terrible terrible pathetic MACHINE translated KissH - my first time knowing such a platform exists LOL) so it was lost in translation ..

It felt like a foreign language although the words were English .. It's like they took the words and scrambled them up and wanted you to LIVE unscramble and GET what they are saying.

I got a horrid headache ..

So I WILL rewatch once it's been decently bathed and washed and changed and sprayed with cologne for a VIKI appearance ..

Just like I watched L&P to catch a lot of the stuff that slipped away .. I want to do the same with this.

nice recap ;-p

So what is next on your list?

I just saw TTEOTM hanging on your CURRENT list :-D
40/40 done with a 10/10 rating

LOL

Was it to be moved to the COMPLETED LIST??

LOL . Yeah I have that on my watchlist.

LOVE the actress - Jung Ryeo Won & of course Wi Ha Joon

Expat are you?
If you have been traveling the world / living outside the country / studying in international English medium school..that ends up being the story usually.
Losing out on the language Heritage of our original lands
🫣😅

👍🏽

Is the ML in ROTP a strong and talented actor?

Haven't seen him before

Been on my watchlist from way before I even knew of ZYT or knew of Li Xian.

Sounded like a drama right up my alley.

"FIGHT MY WAY" was so hilarious and cute too.. Full bodied rom-com with a bunch of young people..
The poster of ROTP reminded me of that.

ZDY?

😜 cheers

Aah cool🙌🏽

🩵🩵✋🏽✋🏽

Me too travel fanatic.

I follow Paul Salopek on Instagram (account is called "Out of Eden")

He's been traversing China on foot ever since I started following him couple of years ago.
And he had whetted my curiosity about China.

After Meet Yourself I also put Yunnan on my travel to China list.
🤪

Yessss.
Agree we ALL love an occasional laid back show.. Enjoying the "travel documentary feel".
My go to are Cookery shows set in rustic environments - countryside cooking,
gardening shows

MY was bang on hitting all those spots 😂😂

And I can see it's appeal PLUS it delivers Drama in it.
Double whammy.
😌😌

So 💯 percent success on that front for MY 😉

I am in Drama watching for MAINLY the classic drama - with elements that employs TENSION building as a prime mode of story telling..

Taut.. Engrossing.. Mind racing and wide awake..
Gripped.

It does not have to be a mystery or thriller even - or makjang and nutty melo of tropes and gimmicks...
Just plain Human Drama from clash of personalities and clash of values presented in a plot driven mode.

That's what made WLIS a 10/10 for me.
It's just HUMAN DRAMA.

I💕 the following ones for the same reason :

- I'll come to you when
the weather is nice
(ironically this one is ALSO set in a FULL ON RUSTIC village and also has an FL with many scars and issues. As well as the ML. ALSO my 10/10 show
I was WIDE AWAKE 😜🤓 AND Binge watched it in one go)


- Strangers Again
(two people with different POV on life, work, and relationships. Has an engrossing second couple also...and many many mini tales in it. Adult mature complex).

Etc

Don't upgrade or downgrade your actual true evaluation as happened when you rated it.
Am sure you thought about it before marking.. No?

That's the only way we get to
Celebrate a truly fine drama / or express our reservations about it.
