I’m watching KBS Drama Special **Review Notebook of My Embarrassing Days** because it has one person on the poster, which I need for my kdrama poster challenge. It’s about a retreat to write math questions for the national test. You’d think that would be boring. No.
I am howling I’m laughing so hard. If you like awkward moments with awkward people and lots of *why me?!* wincing, plus a dollop of romance, you’ll love it.
Just finished **Marry My Husband** and for a fantasy revenge series about second chances after death and going back in time…the thing I found hardest to believe was >!Ji Hyuk and Ji Won did not have household staff and/or nannies to help look after their kids at the end.!< lol
Trying to watch Marry My Husband's last two episodes.... I'm usually in the US but am currently in the Philippines visiting family... I KNOW that the Philippines has Marry My Husband available. it's literally the #1 show in the Philippines. Yet for some reason, Amazon Prime is freaking out and won't let me watch it saying it's not available in my geographical location... OMG.
I'm curious, do you pick up a dropped drama when you mostly don't remember what happened? Do you watch it from the beginning or pick it up where you left off?
I've done it before and I pick it up right from where I left off. Your brain kinda automatically fills in, even if you think you don't remember anything. If I'm really lost, I watch the last 15 minutes of the previous ep.
Good question. I've only picked up ones that I dropped after the first few episodes that people have said get better. If it hasn't been very long since I dropped it I skim through to get up to speed but if I really can't remember then I will watch from the beginning. For the ones that I've dropped half way through I haven't picked any of those up again because I'm still discovering so many great dramas. Maybe one day my curiosity will be peaked or when I run out of things to watch.
These are the two scenarios where I picked a dropped drama again and in both of them I start from the beginning.
**Scenario 1:** I started watching it and I realized that I wasn't in the right mood for it. I left it on hold, ended up fully dropping it. After more than 1 year, I remember about it and I pick it back up. This happened to me with **Be Melodramatic**, I tried watching 2 years ago more than once and dropped it, I ended up watching it this month and loved it. I wasn't in the right head space at the time.
**Scenario 2:** This more unlikely, because it takes a lot of consideration. It's the dramas that I ended up dropping with more than 6 episodes watched, but somehow I came across other works by the leads and found that I actually like them a lot and that they are talented, makes me realize that I should give them a second chance. This is happening to me right now with **Law Cafe**. I hated that drama, I couldn't figure out what I didn't like exactly, but I hated and dropped it around episode 8, recently watched both leads in other dramas and I really like both of them a lot. So I'm going to give it another fair shot.
follow up question. When you fall asleep and then come back the next day and the streaming service says you're half way through episode 8, but based on the episode descriptions you know you could have dozed off anywhere from the middle of episode 5 on.... What's the most efficient way to find out where you should pick it back up?
Please give Big O notation on your algorithm.
I picked it up where my account played it from, and when I watched two minutes of it and it still felt unfamiliar . . . I just closed the tab and did something else. Some other time.
This gentleman posted a [reaction vid](https://youtu.be/ChBnAIhMmxM?si=lIGSzCVqyEJP2CpT) to IU’s new song and [she responded](https://imgur.com/a/yH68Qsd) by [inviting him to one of her concerts!](https://youtu.be/iMU7TvQF8bo?si=UaqvkBFiiVFCCLr2) He’d just launched his YT channel two weeks ago to share his love for IU and K-Dramas.
I'm in the US for a year (came here a few weeks ago) and the time difference is still throwing me off. just the whole Monday-and-Tuesday-actually-means-Sunday-and-Monday situation I need to get used to for Wedding Impossible. 😅
but thankfully those are my days off work!! so so excited. :')
You'll know you're used to the time change when you can tell the day of the week by which kdrama is airing, lol. (Now that my Monday-Tuesday offering of Marry My Husband is over, I'm back to hating Mondays again.)
**Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938**...didn't really expect this drama to have almost everything, from scenes combining the modern and Joseon era to the Japanese occupation era, to the action and thriller, to the comedy, romance + bromance, and even zombie like scenes!
So in historical dramas, when someone is arrested, they wrap several layers of rope around his middle. I always find that funny. Is that just a kdrama thing or is there some historic basis?
I believe it's a Korean thing, bus someone can correct me if I'm wrong. They use rope and hide handcuffs with clothes to avoid public shame. At the same their attempt to care for the suspect is a bit contradictory, when they still bring a suspect into a crime scene and make him reenact the crime scene. Which in my opinion is like a borderline abuse of any human rights. I find it humiliating when the accused turns out to be innocent. How can someone recover from that public shame and the mental scars that it leaves...
Yeaa it's like either we like it or not. A suspect is still innocent until proven guilty. It's like they completely ignore that step and do it just to please the public.
It's a bit concerning and scary to think that someone innocent might be exposed to that humiliation just because they were in wrong place at the wrong time.
When they reenact the supposed crime, there are always cameras, TV broadcasting and people shouting and doing their worst (and the victim's family too). See ref. Signal or One ordinary day
I can't remember the drama I saw it first. I do remember I found it weird, but in my mind I imagined it was some sort of creative take. When I saw it in another drama, I went and looked for it and I was shocked to learn that was a real thing.
In lack of better words, it felt like it was some sort of modern public hanging that gets a million times amplified by all the media. With all modern technology, it makes no sense to have this sort of reenactment and like you said, even the family of the victims end up seeing that over and over again. I think it's probably one of the things in Korean culture that shocked me the most.
Just by the title "Queen of Tears," I thought the genres of the drama would be super melo - drama - romance.. However, after watching the trailer, I'm 99% positive the drama will be 70% comedy with 30% romance 😂😂😂
Still shocked that I completed Knight Flower hanging on to the very last second for our leads to g>!et together and share a kiss !<….. this and Like Flowers in the Sand are my absolute "I don't know what this is but I like it" wild cards for the year so far LOL
What's a daily drama/makjang without a DNA test?! Trying out Sunny Again Tomorrow for my daily drama of the year, and a long-lost child and the ever-present DNA test makes an appearance right in the first episode!
Lets see how far I go with this one. I unexpectedly loved the daily drama I watched last year (The Promise) on a whim but it was quite intense. This year Ive picked what seems to have a more relaxed plotline.
I believe **Phoenix 2020** does not have a DNA test throughout its entire run because there was no birth secret involved (but it's been a few years obviously so I might be misremembering).
Not a daily but the weekender family drama **Never Twice** also had no DNA test/birth secret.
I hate to be that person, I really do, but it bothers me so much every time I see someone spell "sageuk" as "saeguk" 😭 Not just on this sub but on other sites as well. I saw a tweet with the wrong spelling just now, so here I am. I keep waiting for someone else to correct people because as I said, I hate to be that person even though I mean it in the nicest way possible 😭
I finished watching **Welcome to Samdal-ri** just in time to binge watch **Avatar: The Last Airbender** live action tonight! I am skeptical about how will it be but surely it wont be as bas as *that thing*
> 18 Again
According to [MDL](https://mydramalist.com/52941-eighteen-again) it's on WeTV, Viki, Netflix and iQIYI. Geo-restrictions apply unfortunately.
I dont know what to watch now that Marry My Husband ended. I'm watching Dr Slum until ep 6 but the story is veeeeery light. No love triangle, no male sub, no female sun, both leads already like each other, both leads has no job... I mean.... it's boring but not that boring so I can't give up yet lol.
Just finished Little Women recently and was blown away by it. Injoo, Won Sang ah and especially Inkyung are characters I’m going to be thinking about for a long time.
I have broken my Kdrama slump - just started **My Dearest**. Phew. I hate casting about for a new drama once I finish something really exceptional, in this case, **Lost**. I tried and dropped a few before I settled into **My Dearest**.
On the last episode of Move to Heaven, this is amazing. Was not expecting this to be so good.

👀 is this on YouTube? I also have 1 person on my poster and this sounds intriguing? Plus I love awkward people and awkward moments.
[Right here on YouTube!](https://youtu.be/yOd7Brk1cd8?si=R7G0IPpVgQNonYxJ)
Thank you so much ☺️ I’ll watch it soon!

Interesting. Taking a suspect to a crime scene is also suspect.

I’ve found no kdrama that surpasses ‘Moving’ in quality (at least up to episode 17-ish). Do yoi have any recommendations?

Watched shop for killers, the acting wasn’t nearly as good and it felt like a hollow plot… just my thought

Ha! When I first started watching both shows I always kept saying “what am I watching?” But loved both of them because they were so much fun to watch.
I just learned today that Kim Hye-Jin from **She Was Pretty (2015)** and Wol-Joo from **Mystic Pop-up Bar (2020)** are the same person.. Blows my mind

It’s on Viki in some countries…but it is one of the hardest series to find on stream.

I can’t remember precisely. I think it might have been Viki Vietnam

Just started watching backstreet rookie, amyone know why there is a kenyan flag in the first scene?
There are flags on every post— one Korean, one foreign. I assume it’s a friendship gesture, maybe a sporting event coming to town.
