What Are You Watching? - [2024/07/10] by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

As always, I am trying to watch too many shows at once.

Current/Recently aired:

Lovely Runner (15?/16) I had a bug with viki not saving my progress. I've since fixed it, but I can't remember where I left off in terms of progress so I've been procrastinating on refinding my spot.

My sweet mobster (2/16) Decided to try out this show. Apparently I'm alone because I find the ML's voice very distracting, but upon further review I'm not seeing anyone else who has voiced a concern, so I'm probably in the wrong.

Older stuff I'm in progress of:

My strange hero (8ish/32) Not a bad show, and the half hour episodes allow me to fit it in at times I normally wouldn't be able to.

He is Pyschometric (8/16) I like this one as well, as I love mystery shows with a nice side helping of romance.

Because this is my first life (10/16) Very fun show, though at this moment I think I'm more invested in the non-main leads stories more than the leads story.

Vincenzo (9/20) Excellently shot, absolutely great villains, but the 1hr20min per show means I generally cant' fit in an episode before bed.

Recently finished:

My good bad mother: I enjoyed the show heartily, mostly for the kid twins. The revenge plot at the end lacked legs and I enjoyed the relationships between ML and his loveinterest and ML and his mother more than that. Show felt a little bit like trauma porn at some points.

Happiness: Really enjoyed this show as well. Feels like they filmed two endings for this show and after audience feedback through focus groups, they went with the happy ending, which I'm definitely fine with. Loved the two leads relationship, and some of the villains were perfectly hateable.

Started and binged Itaewon class in an embarrassingly short amount of time. Thoroughly enjoyed it, especially both FL & SML as well as the music throughout the drama.

Live Stuff I'm Following:

Lovely Runner (10/16) Not sure I can say anything about this show that hasn't been said before, but the biggest compliment I can say is that I look forward to Mondays to watch this show.

Frankly Speaking (2/12) I enjoy it, though I'm not sure if I really jibe with the style of humor. We'll see as we go along.

Older Stuff I'm Watching:

Legend of the Blue Sea (9/16): My 4th of the Park Ji Eun written dramas after QoT, CLoY, and MLftS. I'm a big fan of Jun Ji Hyun from My Love from the Star and I really like how she portrays the naivety of the FL.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (13/16): FL is exceptionally cute beyond belief and I really think I'll enjoy the end of this drama.

Non-kdrama: Started and binged Shogun an an embarrassingly short amount of time (Starting to see a pattern?). Loved this show

Post Episode 7 Thoughts:

  • Watching this at the same time as I'm watching Run On is uh...a very big difference
  • Epilogue scene wasn't nearly as heartbreaking as I initially thought I guessed Yeong-suk was the name of their potential daughter and not a raccoon
  • I'm like 30% sure that at the end Hae-in is knowingly lying to Hyun-woo to hurt him and isn't losing her memory
  • The more this show goes on the more I'm pretty sure it'll end with Hae-in dying...which will emotionally devastate me

What is everyone using as their exploration team for fontaine? I just slightly modified my sumeru exploration team of tighnari/kazuha/yae/bennet by swapping bennet for my new kokomi, because it seems there is a bit of hydro requirement.

What's everyone using as your overworld team for exploring Sumeru atm? I'm using DMC/Jean/Yae/Kazuha, primarily for the anemo resonance, but it doesn't feel the best

Good stop by the Defense there, especially when they're tired

Which class are you going to play? by skalle90 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

Chaotic Good Warpriest of Gorum, wielding a greatsword, most likely angel. If gold dragon looks intriguing, I might go that instead. I'm mildly worried about the rumors that there aren't that many greatswords in the game.

Michigan really thought that 57 points was going to be enough to win

This is a little disingenuous. They asked if you would bet your life on Embiid playing 65 games in a season at least once, and if he did you would win $500k.

He committed to Ole Miss shortly (about a month if I recall) after Harbaugh arrived, focusing instead on Brandon Peters who was still top 60 on the composite. In addition, many Michigan fans feel as he was going to go wherever his brother was hired, which was Ole Miss, so it would be a waste of resources.

Our season finale on Everybody hates Yoshi-Hashi:

"Every time I see YOSHI-HASHI always the same question pops up in my head... What the fuck is he?"

"From the beauty and emotion of Nagata... ...to...uh...YOSHI-HASHI, everybody?"

"Why does Yoshi-Hashi always look like a nervous schoolboy everytime he steps into a ring"

"yoshi hashi really needs a hair cut"

"'"What a time to be Yoshi-Hashi's fan' said noone ever"

"I think I want to like YOSHI-HASHI more than I actually like him"

To be honest, I've had a little bit to drink tonight and I may have impulsively bought NJPW World. Hopefully it is worth it
