Article Currently Watching: Tomorrow (Not Your Usual Fantasy Kdrama)
The most misused words on MDL are 'unique' and 'refreshing'. It almost always means that the dramas are neither. I'm enjoying Tomorrow, a lot, but it's like a Move to Heaven and Mystic Pop Up Bar Mashup.

Title From Now On, Showtime!
I kind of like the story but I wish they hadn't made the FL's character so (a) thick and (b) impulsive/uncontrolled/violent. The taser scene was pure cringe. I know that kdramas often take this route when portraying a 'strong' woman (apparently you can't be strong, composed and intelligent) but I wish they wouldn't.

Title My Liberation Notes
So glad that Lee Min-Ki is back nailing an oddball role. I love how expressive he is, how he's not afraid to look homely by pulling faces (like a real person) rather than doing that blank-faced staring thing.

Title Sh**ting Stars
I'm sorry but if you check out her behind the scenes, her youtube, her videos and her photoshoots overall, she…
Thanks, but I already have. That's not a normal, relaxed mouth pose (for her). It's an affectation.

Title Sh**ting Stars
I see that the FL still hasn't learnt that duckface belongs to the last decade (possibly the last millennium) and it wasn't 'sexy' even then.

Article Kim Young Kwang and Lee Sung Kyung will reportedly lead the Disney+ drama "Tell Me It's Love"
I like Kim Young Kwang but Disney+ is a terrible platform, continually pretending that content is available in all (or many) territories and then failing to deliver.

Article 2PM's Lee Jun Ho and Girls Generation's Im Yoon Ah are set to star in a new drama!
in all honesty, he never was in a good show I hope this one will be good
I think he's a better actor than many non-idols, actually. He was good in Red Sleeve and Good Manager, but he was amazing in Rain or Shine. It's just that the premise of this latest show is just so dull and childish. He needs something where he'll play another complex, nuanced character not the cliche cold chaebol who falls for 'candy'.

Title Again My Life
crossing my fingers for little to no romance
yeah, it's already an interesting, layered story, lets not shoehorn some badly-executed romance in just to keep the squeakers happy.

Agreed…after Red sleeve i was really excited for junho’s future work but this one sounds too cliché…just…
He'd make a good Reseng in an adaptation of The Plotters.

He's a good character actor (Rain or Shine, Good Manager) and, frankly, deserves better.

A chaebol and female employee 'plot'? Seriously, the writers need kicking up the arse. Still, I'm sure the squeakers will call it 'unique' and 'refreshing' even if it's wall-to-wall cliches.

List popular dramas that you can't get yourself to watch
I think calling it a masterpiece is a bit far fetched. It's a great drama but it has flaws too
I think its massively overrated; not egregiously bad but too much pure cringe for me.

For fried chicken, usually yes! For other chicken dishes it's different (닭 - dak)
Thank you. I'm used to random English (e.g. in medical dramas or to denote a pretentious character) but that one threw me!

Title My Liberation Notes
This is wonderful. The dialogue, like the banter where they're in the pub for the friend's birthday - is so very real, acting from everyone is utterly believable. Even in Yeom Mi Jung's dialled back performance, there is so much life, so many microexpressions.

In the context of Korea, suicide (counterintuitively) is an act that's judged both more harshly than where I live and - at the same time - less. And, despite celebs with mental health problems taking up the news bandwidth, most of the people who commit suicide are old and poor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_South_Korea
