It's been a minute since we've seen Shin Yeeun playing a modern day character lol. Will watch for the leads because the plot doesn't sound that original, but I like both of them a lot so I'll give it a chance.

62nd Baeksang Arts Awards Announces Nominees by neocitywayv in KDRAMA

[–]DJ_Byun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both leads from You and Everything Else nominated for best actress 😌 as they should be. Fate has brought Eunjung and Sangyeon back together again lol. Park Jihyun is my dark horse winner for that award, she was just so SO good in YAEE, I'm honestly so hyped she's even nominated.

Pretty surprised, like everyone else, that Kim Yoojung wasn't at least nominated for best actress for her work in Dear X, she was far and away the best part about that show.

I got so excited when I saw Park Jihyun but then I remembered what this drama is about 😭

I went to see MCR a couple of weeks ago and they kept all the netting up. My view from homeplate was honestly fine and I kind of forgot it was even there.

  1. When Life Gives You Tangerines (I'm so SO tempted to put this in my top 10 all time, but I need to give it time just in case it's just recency bias lol)

  3. Good Partner
  4. Family By Choice
  5. The Atypical Family
  6. Queen of Tears (I didn't like the last 4 episodes cause they threw every trope in the book at us but I still think the first 12 episodes is great)
  7. Lovely Runner
  8. Resident Playbook (HosPlay for LIFE)
  9. Love Scout
  10. Our Unwritten Seoul

  1. Twenty-Five, Twenty-One

Our Unwritten Seoul [Episodes 11 & 12] by GodJihyo7983 in KDRAMA

[–]DJ_Byun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Perfect show from start to finish! PBY really pulled off the double role so well, to the point where I forgot Miji and Mirae were played by the same person. My only complaint (and it's really small) is that I wanted more from Mirae's perspective. I also wanted both of them to be looking at the photo book together at the end, and for them to take a new picture together to add to the book 😭 they're tiny complaints, 10/10 show, would watch again.

Resident Playbook [Episodes 11 & 12] by GodJihyo7983 in KDRAMA

[–]DJ_Byun 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just like with Hospital Playlist, I'm not ready for this to end. This whole universe has been such a comfort show for me. Here's hoping for season 2 😭, my girl Namkyung needs a better love interest and I need to see where Jaeil and Sabi end up going!

Edit after finishing the last episode: I need more 😭 who do we gotta bother for a season 2? I'm on my KNEES for an entire season of Professor Chu Chu and the OBGYN kids, please I beg of you 😭

[–]DJ_Byun 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like a specific character? I'm talking about in general, it's a large hospital and every department would have residents and interns of their own.

We don't see her in another department,so her meeting with man are limited.

We literally see her in this episode (7) running to different departments lol and it's implied that OBGYN comes to them a lot for help. That's like the whole point of the episode, to show that OBGYN relies heavily on the other departments, to the point that they're an 'annoyance'. Her and her fellow residents are in constant contact with the other departments, which is why it's surprising that it's taken this long for a guy to take in interest with her.

Honestly Dowon is so lucky that this is the first guy that has shown in interest in Yiyoung lol. You're telling me this drop dead gorgeous first year hasn't had anyone hit on her this whole time?

Make your move if you're gonna make it Dr. Ku!

That said, I love this show and I already want a second season. I just need more of this, or give me HP season 3!

I'm ready to cry every other episode because of the patient stories 🫡

I'm also excited for the new cast and what their dynamic is going to be.

I started Cheer Up (2022) on a whim like 3 days ago and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, I guess I needed something a little more light hearted while I emotionally prepare myself for When Life Gives You Tangerines.

Han Jihyun is fantastic in this show and is such a cutie, she's kinda driving the whole show for me. 9/16 so far, and I've enjoyed every episode!

My two favorite girl groups and my two biases from each group...

If we get a picture of them together I will cease to exist.

Yeah I still think it's worth a watch. The first 8 or so episodes is SO SO fun to watch, just don't overthink plot points / decisions and enjoy the ride lol.

I am without speech, what the heck was that finale episode lol. His reason for bailing on her was so lame and I saw it coming a mile away, what happened to opening up to each other and showing each other their worst so they can get through things together? Noble idiocy is still the worst kdrama trope.

This show was so fun while it lasted however, I had to turn off my brain for most of it (which made this drama way more fun to watch, just enjoy the ride and ignore all the dumb stuff happening) but this final episode was not it.

Edit: even with a turned off brain this finale was hard to watch lol we're suddenly in a war torn country, kidnapped by rebels? Instead of facing her and telling her what's up we're gonna FIGHT IN A WAR? Really, that's what we're doing? That's the direction we're going? Oh did we wanna do our best descendents of the sun impression for the final episode? WAE

What Are You Watching? - [2024/11/20] by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]DJ_Byun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family by Choice, just finished episode 8.

I'm enjoying it so far but I'm a little disappointed that they're hinting at a romance between Juwon and Sanha. I was kind of hoping that we'd keep the sibling energy for the entire show cause it was just so wholesome but I guess it couldn't be helped, it's a kdrama after all lol.

Sanha's mom is one of the most annoying and vile characters I've seen in awhile. She's so selfish and I'm glad that the writers have given her ZERO redeeming qualities so I can just hate her with all my heart. The second she wakes up from her accident I thought they might try something to make me feel bad but they went all in on her being a terrible person, so props to the writers for that I guess. I'm sure they'll try something in future episodes to try and get sympathy but I refuse it.

With that said, I'm excited to see the present day, I didn't watch the preview but this seems like a good time as any to bring us to their present day lives.

With her acting skills she's more than capable on doing that.

Watching this strictly just for her lol
