the ads definitely are the killer for binge watching... and so is having a slow internet connection . heh. life…
Yeah the circle of death , really sucks the life out of binge watching...or any watching. I hate it when it happens! I play solitaire while waiting on a must watch right now even though I am being sucked in the whirlpool abyss of darkness. Maybe a little too dramatic?
Im not sure what kind of watcher i am... I watch anywhere from 1 to 5 episodes a day (sometimes more) when I have…
I think you would fall under the "multiple moody binge watcher" category. You also must have a better than average memory if you can walk away and come back to it fresh! Kudos.
I love to binge watch, however I usually can't wait for a drama to end before I start watching it. So I normally watch 5 or 6 dramas at a time...I have a full time job, family,...but hey, I don't sleep, so watching dramas is my nightly routine.
Suggestions, for watching some of the longer dramas...if you can find them on the utube then you can easily skim pass all the parts you don't care for...it really moves those big suckers along when you can do that. AND if you add AdBlock Plus (Free Safe Download) to your computer then you don't have those pesky ads on the tube. AdBlock also works on ondramanice but not on Kiss Asia. I don't watch on Kissasia unless I can not find the show anywhere else and am dying to watch, because I am spoiled by the commercial free experience.
Because of meeting you...a chinese drama you can find on the tube dailymotion etc is a good longer drama as it moves along pretty fast and is a very sweet and tender show. Great article and keep binge ing!
Very cute, post I definitely liked your last entry. I have an adopted Korean daughter, who has even lived in S Korean for two years. She refused to learn the language or listen to kpop even when she lived there. She likes Country Western music and gets downright mean if I suggest she watch a drama with me. She also LIKES to run...whats with that? Did I really raise that child??? I tried to get me husband and son to watch Healer with me...I though the action plus the humor would be a win win...no go...they will however watch the Asian slasher beat 'em up movies. (Usually so bloody I can't stay in the same room when they are watching them.) My youngest daughter is dyslexic I didn't even attempt to try and convince her to watch a drama with me after she accused me of trying to torture her.
All of my girlfriends think I'm nuts...well probably they are right, but so far I have been unable to grab their attention. I will try your short and sweet method and see if that will work.
I watched an earlier version of this show, and this show did not live up to the earlier version. This is a very hard core slap/revenge lakorn. I pretty much feel the main male lead is a psycho. Even if you are wanting revenge for your sister, to punish the innocent is just plain crazy and I don't care how conflicted you are it is not justification for physical and verbal abuse. The fact the woman just took it and came back for me is just sick. I am a lokorn fan and I have enjoyed similar shows as there seems to be some real feeling between the leads, some tenderness, that can get me to overlook/not accept just sort of ignore as a part of the story, but it was impossible with this version of the story. I watched the entire show, but it was a train wreck of abusive behavior. Because I remembered the earlier version, I kept hoping this would get better so watched until the end. I would not recommend this show to anyone to watch.
I have mixed feelings about this lakorn. In one way it was touching, funny and light. In another is was very insipid. Our young lead was very bright and charming, but I didn't feel any chemistry with the female lead. She was good in her role too, but there just was no sizzle in my opinion. However, no one was raped, slapped or revenged so pretty good in that regard.
I just finished watching and found it to be a very cute, funny and sweet show. The challenge is to find it with eng subs...but if you look hard enough you should be able to find it. I don't want to say where in case it gets deleted.
I ended up having to drop this drama. I finished the drama by reading the recaps on a very humorous site. But felt no desire to wade through all the politicking and various characters that were distracting to say the least on the video version. I loved The Story and Yanxi Palace which encouraged me to watch. this one, but there is no comparison. There were multiple characters in that drama,but I did not feel I needed a score card to keep up. Maybe I am just not in the right mood.

I am on episode 26 and I am really enjoying this drama. I think my main attraction is the steadfast relationship between our male and female lead. It is not lovey dovey but consistently steadfast. I like shows where there is a positive story line to hold my interest and make me feel good about the show and so far this has worked out well. I hope the rest of the show is also as consistent.
I have just finished the drama, and except for a hick up in the middle it turned out fine. I could have done without the spoiled socialite episode, but there you go...it couldn't be perfect. Good ending if somewhat rushed.
Very good article and I love the personal insights. It makes what might appear funny to be heart wrenching. I am really loving this drama. I think one of the scenes I loved the best is the car scene where he though she was going to upchuck in his car. You could feel his panic and desperation, but it was hugely funny at the same time. Some people complain he is too old for our female lead, but I think he is the perfect person for the part and a very talented actor.
