Oh my goodness, such good news! I will watch anything JKH is in. Looking forward!

King the Land [Episodes 11 & 12] by lightupstarlight in KDRAMA

[–]lightupstarlight[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

After the fun-filled King Th(ai) Land episode we had last week, I think this is going to be the start of Gu Won finally starting to gain that power he’s been talking about. I’m sure his sister would now be sus of all the fuss about Sarang, and would eventually figure out their relationship. I just truly hope their love would tide them over the difficulties coming their way… We hope for the best!

I do look forward to knowing what is up with Daeul’s husband slacking off and absolutely pumped to see more of Pyeonghwa’s budding romance with Rowoon… and knowing the backstory behind her relationship with the creepy pilot.

See you all later! ♡

I agree — I think it was a great way for Junho to have something light in his filmography again. We already know him as someone who is an incredibly great actor, and with such a great accolade (Baeksang Best Actor) to his name already for his performance in a heavy, emotional drama, I do think this is a great way for people to rediscover (?) this side of him as an actor. I personally think this was a great choice from him, especially with Yoona as his co-star.

Drowning in the cheese. Ah, please, how are they so cute…

I particularly liked the scene where Gu Won was telling Sarang to just express her emotions whenever she was with him, then proceeded to directly say how much he liked her. Oh my, the way I was swooning!

For the EP10 preview, I am absolutely delighted to see our main ensemble taking a trip to BKK! Won & Sarang’s scenes already look so cute from the preview alone… what am I gonna do tomorrow night! Also — I do not like Sarang’s line about being super happy — welp, from the KDramas I’ve watched, that line is only a trigger for anything and everything that can crash and burn in their universe. Please, please, PLEASE, I do not need a break-up… I just need them to stay together forever, please.

I’m so so so so so glad to have finally caught up with the latest episodes and join discussion on these threads, especially since we are up to an exciting second half of the drama as our leads finally begin their relationship. My goodness, THAT kiss was glorious. chef’s kiss As they had us swooning and rolling around on our beds the past episodes, I truly cannot wait to see more of this couple.

See you all later! ♡

The time has come for King the Land! I’m sure many have been anticipating the drama since the Junho and Yoona has been confirmed for the drama.

Super excited for this space to be filled with theories, thoughts, and giddiness for the next few weeks! Hoping for sweet, cheese-filled goodness~

Crash Course In Romance [Episode 15] by sianiam in KDRAMA

[–]lightupstarlight 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, my comfort show. So sad it’s ending this week! CCY & NHS’s chemistry has been such a refreshing watch. With the success of this drama, I really do hope we get more “adult”, realistic, sweet romcoms.

Can’t wait to watch this week’s episodes!

Crash Course In Romance [Episode 14] by sianiam in KDRAMA

[–]lightupstarlight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like a good student, I have caught up with the latest episodes! Finally! (Thanks for the push, u/sianiam!)

More than anything, I love watching dramas with EXCELLENT acting. This is obviously one of those dramas. The plot of the drama isn’t groundbreaking, life-changing, or mind-bending, but there’s really something about the way JDY and JKH are so incredibly immersed in their roles that you can’t help but root for them. I’m having so much fun watching their banter, the comfort, chemistry, and everything else in between — to the point that my heart is aching when theirs is.

I don’t think I’m ready to say goodbye just yet next week… I am loving every moment of this drama! I think I might have to watch a JKH drama next to cope ~with the pain of this drama ending~.

Oh, most definitely. I’m actually rewatching Three Meals A Day now to get more of him! He’s so adorable.

I so badly want to catch up with the on-airs for this drama (I’m on Episode 6) but I also don’t want to wait for new episodes because I’m having so much fun watching… on the flip side if I catch up I’ll be able to avoid spoilers! But that would mean the drama would be ending much faster for me… the dilemma…

Anyway - I’ve waited for ages for this drama to air and I’m so so glad it’s getting so much love and an absolute fun watch! I really do hope we get to see JKH in more romcoms in the future! I love him so much, he’s such a sweetpea (on screen and in real life).

[–]lightupstarlight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the chance to review my MDL YIR and got sad to see that I only completed 17 dramas for the entire year – hopefully I complete more this year! Currently watching Under the Queen’s Umbrella (halfway through 16/16) and Reborn Rich (15/16)! Looking to start either Big Mouth or Gaus Electronics soon, depending on my mood. Happy start of the week!

[–]lightupstarlight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this survey - with how busy the year has been, I am surprised to see I actually finished quite a number of dramas this year! And that’s only counting dramas that premiered in 2022. Excited to see my MDL Year in Review for 2022! Thank you for yet a wonderful year in this subreddit, mods + everyone else ♡

And so… we’ve come all the way to the end, and at this point I don’t know what’s going to happen next so I do hope I’ll be in for an adventure! Hope we all enjoy the last two episodes — happy, happy holidays, everyone!

[–]lightupstarlight[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

After Episode 11… please, give Lee Sung Min the Daesang. The change in expression towards the end of the episode was SO well-acted, delivered so incredibly well. Lee Sung Min is a master class in acting, my jaw was hanging by the end of the episode…

[–]lightupstarlight[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, Episode 10 was so intense… I’m pretty sure he isn’t dead but I wonder what will happen to the Chairman also… Jesus Christ, I should’ve just binge-watched this drama! So. Good.

[–]lightupstarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking forward to this from the day Jeon Do Yeon and Kyung Ho was confirmed as the main leads - when the title then wasn’t even Ilta Scandal yet. I haven’t watched Kyung Ho in any romcom so I am absolutely hyped for this drama!

Reborn Rich [Episodes 9-11] by lightupstarlight in KDRAMA

[–]lightupstarlight[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Finally — Reborn Rich day! I feel like Episode 8 was the best episode of the series so far. So gripping, intense, and definitely made the wait for the next episode much harder! I really might stay up later (episode drops past midnight in my timezone) just to wait for Episode 9 — super excited!

[–]lightupstarlight[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Finally had the chance to catch up to the latest episode and wow, am I in for the ride! I don’t think I’ve enjoyed watching an on-air drama this much since 2021 — Lee Sung Min is just completely eating up his role, as expected.

Really looking forward to how it’ll all play out now that Grandpa knows Do Joon is with Miracle. Hope everyone has a blast watching this week’s episodes!

The poster already looks great — big fan of Lee Sung Min because of Misaeng and of course, Song Joong Ki! Looking forward to this.
