Thank you, since the fight scenes were my least favorite part of part 1, I'll give this a pass. I appreciate your thoughts.

I know that this is TOTALLY personal opinion, but I would like to know if season 2 is more or less character driven than season 1. I'm not a fan of dark/evil/fighting, but I'm glad I watched season 1 for the acting and the character development. Is season 2 even darker, with more violence?

You're the second person that's mentioned Bad and Crazy in the past couple of days. Under the Queen's Umbrella is one of those that I don't know whether I should put it on my list. A lot of good reviews, but I'm not a big fan of historical dramas, especially with all the palace intrigues, terrible facial hair and ridiculous hats.

Possibly because Jo Bo Ah was in it and now that Destined with You has released, people might be curious about her other works? Just my guess.

Will you come back and re-review this when the show finishes? Your opinion might change.

Of course, it's personal opinion, but some of my favorites are Hidden Love, My Little Happiness, You are My Glory, Dating in the Kitchen, Mysterious Love.

Good review. This is one that goes on my "to watch" list, then gets removed, then goes back on again. I like the actors in it, which is why I'm interested. I'm pretty sure I won't be happy with the amount of romance (which is usually what I'm there for). Thank you for putting that it's not a good binge watch. For some shows, that really does make a difference in whether we enjoy a show or not. Maybe I'll put it back on my list...

Excellent review. You hit the nail right on the head. When I watched this, I wondered what everyone else had been watching that they loved so much.

Good review. I am absolutely not a fan of multi-season shows. They tend to use EVEN MORE filler to make the show longer, and my fast forward button already gets a workout with most of the shows I watch.

I'm with you on your two recommendations.

He was also terrific in Tomorrow.

No, but they are getting money from the government, so there is that.

Really? How did I not know this?!?! I have GOT to get out more! Thank you.

I don't subscribe to Hulu. I don't watch anything until it's completely finished anyway, so I'll wait and see what everyone says after it's over. Thank you for your help!

Just Between Lovers is excellent.

Stupid technology question for y'all. Is Disney+ Hotstar different from Disney+? Because I don't have this show on Disney+. Different platform? Depending on what region you live in?

It would have been nice if this had a spoiler tag.

I was thinking the same thing!

I'll be watching for your review of Twenty Five Twenty One. I'll give you my thoughts after you've finished it.

I initially started watching Asian dramas because they are usually more wholesome than American tv (language, sex, violence, disrespect for elders, etc.) I use Viki A LOT, especially since some of the newer Netflix shows (especially Netflix originals) are "Americanized". You might want to hold off and watch more before diving in with Viki, that way you can determine if you will be watching a lot of Asian shows. I think you will quickly find tropes that are common to almost every show - you could almost make a drinking game out of it. When one of these things happens, take a drink! - the wrist grab, FL tripping and falling into ML, 2FL that is willing to do anything to get the ML, evil parents, throwing water in the face of another, offering money to send someone away, drunk confessions, falling on someone resulting in an accidental kiss, pulling over to the side of the road to have a conversation in the car, a car suddenly making a U-turn, the white truck of doom. There are tons more, but that's just off the top of my head! After you've watched a few of these, if you agree with my recommendations at all, if you decide to get Viki or if you have Prime Video, let me know, because I have a list for them as well. Happy watching!! I'm currently watching Sh**ting Starts for about the fourth time, cleansing my drama palate before I try to find a new decent show to watch!
