    I came here because I was wondering if any of you planned to open JaeWook's new drama thread? Looks good ...I will watch it.

    I was in tears when she told her mother about her depression. Especially the part where she asked if she can't be sick. While these days, people are a lot more open to talking and accepting mental health issues, I can see why HaNeul would find it hard to be diagnosed with depression. The good thing was that she recognised that and took action. Also I am so glad she kicked that awful professor, quit and decided to prioritise her health. I can also understand her mother's initial denial of her situation but I would have been very upset if mum continues to gaslight her for it. So I was glad that mum realised it quickly and send her that message at the end. What I like very much from these premiere episodes was that the pace is very good - the leads are already communicating quite openly. Also I wasn't sure what to expect of the chemistry between PHS and PSH but I found their competitive bickering hilarious (it hit the right spots) and they have chemistry. Yoon Park's character was also very funny. Agreed that he will be the one that helps JW and HN, and of course there will be a side romance with HN's bestie.

    @NiteWalker the male audience / judges even more excited than the female ones

    @mademoiselle @peperomia I just started this . Quite funny so far . Park Hyung Sik is always good with comedy . Will comment more once I finish eps 2 .

    I caught both episodes on my flight . I really somehow hope he’s still alive . He’s been preparing her for a time like this & it was painful when she thought she felt like she had no freedom when all he wanted was to protect her. But she’s going to know that now . And Bae Jong Min …urghh I had this bad feeling from the start.

    At this point yes...only because most of the oppas I love don't have any shows on. I just completed a number of shows before this - Death's Game ( recommended), My Demon, Welcome to Samdalri. There are some new shows but nothing that tickles my fancy. I plan to watch Dr Slump and plan to reserve some time for Amidst the Snowstorm ( c drama) . Am assuming you're gonna watch Dr Slump too?

    I know how you feel ..it's been awhile since I have enjoyed a romance by JCW . Actually Love Struck was not bad...though there were lots of frustrating bits. I am just happy with how they wrapped up this entire show. I was hoping for a lil wedding for YP and SD , but I am glad too that the focus was on going after your dreams. After all everyone who had returned back to Jeju had suffered some form of failure , so it was important that everyone got a second chance at success . Though for me I don't see returning to Jeju as a second best option, since it is a beautiful place and you can always have a wonderful life there. But perhaps from a domestic audience perspective, making it in Seoul was some sort of measure of that you've made it . Just wondered if @ktcjdrama @Dhakra and @40somethingahjumma finished this one.

    @SilverMoonTea Your past love and current love ( though not for long ) in the same frame. Na In Woo is so tall that he makes Bae In Hyuk looks so small

    It was a very lovely ending .... Man, look at JCW's face...I am glad she ran since I definitely would

    This pre-release

    I ended up really enjoying this one. Kind of late to the party but I just discovered the amazing talent that is Austin Butler. I saw him on Elvis and he was just superb- he wasn't just impersonating Elvis, he was Elvis. That was how good he was. He won a Golden Globe and the Baftas, and nominated for an Oscar. Going through a lot of his interviews , the way he prepares for all his roles is pure dedication. His work ethic according to Tom Hanks who worked with him twice is second to none. I highly recommend this Baz Luhrmann biopic of Elvis

    @mademoiselle Love this show loads and very glad you got me to watch this. If I were to think about it, there's nothing out of the ordinary about the story line nor is it one of those mind boggling shows. In fact because it is so simple and straightforward, that anyone could have written this. But yet it is one of those shows that had me in tears so very often and kept me invested. No doubt we had a great cast, but the magic for me is really in the heartfelt conversations. In fact, I chose to watch this first today over My Demon simply because this show always makes me happy. While with MD, the leads carried the show , here it is not just the main pairing that I liked. I found myself interested in the side characters and side romances, and it felt like these were characters had some depth/ layers and development YP's dad letting go of his grudge towards omma was so moving. Then seeing the entire village or town come together to support and protect Sam Dal warmed my heart. It's come full circle for Sam Dal having come back as a wounded puppy being so worried about the gossip, to truly realised how much she is loved. 2 new romances budding there and a reunion for big sis with her ex ( they are so adorably funny!) . I am glad that they are even paying tribute to the hanyeo's work by possibly having the youngest sister do this. What I want for the finale is simple - an intimate wedding for our leads and Yong Pil go to Switzerland to fulfil his dreams. SD can always go with him. --------------------------- I believe she is going to make an appearance in support of the writer who wrote Hi Bye Mama

    So I am just checking spoilers after finishing Eps15... am I getting this correctly? Did she make a deal to have him return? This was what happened... And as I had expected, father made the deal to save her...

    Really good. I was on the edge of my seat especially in the 2nd half of episode 2 when JiAn was being hunted & surrounded by those drones. But yet just moments ago I was in tears for this poor girl who hid herself in the morgue hugging her mother's dead body...my goodness. How does one even get through such trauma? I do love that unspoken love and trust between uncle and niece , so it really pains me that the story already starts off with him being dead. JiAn will have to find out the truth about his death. My hope is that her friend is not some sort of red flag or sheep in wolf's clothing.
  15. abs-oluteM
    I am watching....

    This really does seem like a Feb drama @Tofu? In time for New Year?
  17. abs-oluteM
    Ladies, look at his character description! Hahahahah too perfect
  18. abs-oluteM
    Script Reading! Jang Seung Jo looks really thin here. From MDL: Actress Kim Ha Neul plays Seo Jung Won, a famous journalist with a strong sense of justice who believes in the people's right to know. She is a woman who fights the challenges that come her way. Yeon Woo Jin plays Kim Tae Heon, the ace detective of the violent crimes unit. Kim Tae Heon is strong yet has a boyish charm to him. Jang Seung Jo plays the role of Seol Woo Jae, a second-generation chaebol and Seo Jung Won's husband. Not to be fooled by his warm smile, Jang Seung Jo has a dark side to him. Veteran actors Jung Woong In, Yoon Je Moon, Han Chae Ah, Jung In Ki, and Kim Min Jae delivered passionate performances at the script reading. After the script reading concluded, actress Kim Ha Neul commented, "I felt like the chemistry was stronger because the characters I had only envisioned came to life and [actors] acted together." Yeon Woo Jin said, "I feel like I've read a mystery novel." Jang Seung Jo shared his excitement, stating, "It seems like it will be fun to finish reading the script. I will work hard to prepare well." Let's Get Caught by the Neck is scheduled to premiere in March. It will take over the time slot of Love Song for Illusion.

    I think all my oppa loves are gonna have facial hair this season..am not a fan too but oh well
  20. abs-oluteM
    Yup ...but it will be an interesting role for him
  21. abs-oluteM
    I will see if either @Tofu or @SilverMoonTea will open. If not , I will do it later. What a great cast...quite excited! What about this ? Will you watch @mademoiselle? https://mydramalist.com/720329-the-queen-woo/cast I think I will...
  22. abs-oluteM
    Did @JenL watch Hometown CCC? Or RacketBoys? OOhhhh I get you! This happens to me too. Then this will not be a strong adoption if his next drama character is not so great.
  23. abs-oluteM
    Ooooo a very short teaser :D
  24. abs-oluteM
    Xiong Ji??? Hahahah. Funny thing is that when I met up with @Tofu last year when she came to KL, I had to keep remembering to call her by her actual name . @JenL I watched most of the dramas airing during the weekend in the last 2 months , and the story which resonated most with me was Welcome to Samdalri. Plot wise, there's nothing new or even out of the ordinary. But it is written pretty well especially the conversations. This writer has the knack for writing shows that make me cry a river ( Hi Bye Mama, Go Back Couple). Plus the cast is just solid. So if you are looking for a heartwarming slice of life, this is recommended. @Chocolate I am hoping for better dramas for Elvis Han but if he keeps doing these republican shows, he's never gonna get adopted . I have suffered worse for oppas I love, but these propaganda filled republican era shows are not easy to stomach. His upcoming work is also same genre and he is not even the main lead https://mydramalist.com/753455-shou-hu-zhe-men @SilverMoonTea I guess Na In Woo will be first adoption of 2024?

    I was wondering if he learned something from that Demon book...like you know somehow made a deal with that beggar lady or he's able to acquire some abilities, though after reading what @ktcjdrama said, that may be a more logical explanation. . What I am very curious is the reason for the deal between GuWon and the father. I have a feeling it was something related to DoHee, as in it was to save her? But that would make it even more tragic for DoHee. For the longest time I was wondering why GuWon never felt any "remorse" or even a tad bit of discomfort that he had lead DH's father to his death. And the explanation that it was because he had forgotten. That felt a bit weak and too convenient (writing wise). Does he even forget anything given his powers? Did he not make some sort of connection seeing how influential Mirae Group is and who Madam Ju was?
