Decided to watch this drama, a melodrama with a strong female, ruthless character warming up sounds like something I will enjoy. I share as usual, my notes during the drama Episode 1 OSJ really is cold, the way she handled her cases right now, she doesn't seem to hesistate before anything. Will be interesting to see how it changed during the course of the drama. Guys never talk in a men's restroom, it's pure, awkward silence. Damn, Soo Jae is so ruthless, the way she talked about dating Kang, making him beg on his knees, she is such a dominant person. She likes to have power over others. She enjoys what she is doing. The way Soo Jae talked to So Young, how to sent videos to her sister and mother, blackmailing her, threatening her to such a extent, that even her own assistant Mi Rim felt uncomfortable. For a second she looked like she wanted to stop Soo Jae. So Young clearly is the go-to lawyer to cover up criminal behaviors by people in power. Mi Rim is already my MVP, SLS activated, I like her. She has a sense of justice, she tried to intervene and step in for So Young. Soo Jae is right though, So Young is not her client, she is paid to fight a biased one-sided battle. Jumpscare of doom. Holy cow did I startled. So Young did commit suicide, doesn't surprise me at all. Now it's obvious what will cause SJ demotion. Oh boy. But she kinda has blood on her hands now. Her phrase about TK Law Firm was too much, no one is bigger than the company. Saying something like that in front of the CEO will be problematic. SJ didn't kill So Young, she is also not the reason why she's dead, but she drifted her into this rabbit hole and crushed her beliefs. The one who killed SY was Assemblyman Ang. Damn, that soundtrack. Yeah, that's my jam. Orchestral baby. Great first episode. Can't wait to watch the second one tomorrow. Really like the start of the drama.

Mhm, already finished? Would love to start something that is still running or about to start, I like the weekly routine. I also love to read and share thought about each episode that aired. So after some research three dramas caught my eye. Doctor Lawyer (Because it's the actor of My Secret Terius), which I liked a lot, also seems very interesting. Anna (Because Bae Suzy), but the story itself doesn't seem very appealing to me Why Her? (Just seems interesting and the female second lead seems to be very pretty) Sadly none rom-com-ish dramas like Our Beloved Summer are about to start. Anyone planning on watching these?

FInally have some time again, any drama recommendations?

Sounds interesting. Gives me a few Plus Nine Boys VIbes. I'll watch the first two episodes the next few days.

Sigh....yeah....is it good though? I already forgot what it was about I am in a drama slumber again it seems. It's a concert called KpopFlex in Frankfurt Germany on May 15th with several different artists that lasts for at least 4 hours. It's a festival-like concert in a big Arena (Deutsche Bank Park). Many big korean groups (Mamamoo, G-Idle, Dreamcatcher, IVE, Monsta X, Oneus. AB6IX) will perform there, so I'm quite excited. Especially because of Mamamoo, who I really look forward to seeing live. I also saw Dreamcatcher twice already in Germany, so when they were announced as last act, I had to go. Just to make it three. Will be a great weekend, I'll take a good friend with me.

Yeah....that was my plan. But then so much came together. Buying concert tickets. booking hotels, planning everything. Watching different movies and starting rewatching old stuff. Sigh....I feel like I should really begin to watch another KDrama soon.

Long time no see. How is everyone doing? It's not better than Dark Knight, it's around the same, but for a different aspect. The atmosphere and the Gotham City are incredible well done. Batman aka Robert Pattinson is a bit weak, overall there is no character that stands out, but the mix of good actors and Gotham as a whole makes it a pleasant watch. I would still prefer to watch the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy, but "the Batman" is a well done, darker Batman movie with a sometimes too much Twilight-like Robert Pattinson.

I actually planned to watch this because of NJH and the premise. I will give it watch the next couple of days.

Oh my gosh, she is so cute I love her, it's just absolutely not my kind of drama How many are episodes are released so far? @mademoiselleSo I read somewhere in IG that Nam Ra has a loveline already in the show?

Tell me at least some of the cutie girls are standing up for the ppl being bullied. If Nam-ra stands up, it would be so cool. Is she girl in the clip? I have not memorized any of the characters yet. Uh great.

@mademoiselleMhm, definitely sounds interesting. I'm not sure though if you only say so nice things about Nam Ra to lure me into this drama

Uh, did you just say "gore"? Now I am intrigued to check it out. Does is tell a real story or is it just a slaughter fest with fore scenes chained together? Sounds kinda interesting. Mhm, we won't find out unless I watch it I guess. But Nam Ra was really, really cute already.

That is a very important and great question So let me check and watch this trailer, let's find out who catches my interest first and wins my immediate heart. Mhmm....Cho Yi-Hyun who is playing Choi Nam-ra. She's so cute She also looks calm and reasonable, while being total eye candy. But I can see Park Ji-Hu as Nam On-Jo being my favorite after a few episodes, she looks so cold and reserved. She's pretty aswell, but seems so tough. I wouldn't want to mess with her. But I would totally fall for her because of that, while still swooning over Nam-ra being all cute and pretty. Oh boy, that sounds like a really tough cookie. Is it really so bad? Especially out of your mouth, who watched a lot of crime and violent dramas in the past with me. I thought this drama was a bit like Happiness, from a zombie perspective.

So did you find the whole thing chingu? Or is it spread in clips all around YouTube? I saw the clips you posted a few posts ago, but it also seemed to be just a scene from the whole thing. I just want MORE! Of everything! Why does this drama have to end?

@SilverMoonTea @abs-oluteMAlright, I'm going to check it out then. Uh perfect! That's great. So I have to watch 6 episodes in total?

After "Our Beloved Summer" is over now, I take new recommendations for a new drama to watch. Any suggestions? @SilverMoonTeaI remember you tagged me somewhere, but I can't remember the name.

Yep, that's what I thought aswell. The big final reveal. Throughout the whole drama it was said he never drew a person, but in the end, he drew his first love the moment he saw her for the first time. On IG the artist also revealed the picture. it is actually a page of the novel ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ by Mark Twain drawn with pen & ink- https://www.instagram.com/p/CZJ9-76J-6Q/

That's what I really liked aswell, especially since JW told her multiple times thoughout the drama that ppl tell she becomes likes him. This was like breaking chains for her, but in the end it felt more like a monologue than a true confession. He didn't even look shocked, surprised or anything, he just noted it while keeping a straight face. I wished we could have see more of them afterwards. Just something small, like between Eun-Ho and Sol-Yi, the small invitation for a date was enough to make On the other hand...... HELL YEAH! I would totally sign up for this! Chae Rin drama? AWESOME. She tried more than any other character to start dating and create love. Here, let me pitch you my idea: A Drama about JW doing the documentary with his mother, produced by Park Dong-il and Chae Rin. He slowly learns the dark history of his mother, while her state worsens every day. He is torn between his former hate and his newfound love for his mother. Chae Rin is the one he gets close to, trusts her more and more, telling her everything about his past, current struggles and his desperation. During that time he realiizes exactly what you said. He appreciates her as woman, his true love and that she was always there for him, while he just took her for granted and overlooked her.

Yaaay! So pretty, I am not ready yet to let her go Also sad we didn't get a scene between Chae Rin and Ji Woong as a couple, or at least some sort of reaction of him after she confessed to him. Ahh, can't see it aswell. What a bummer. I wish, I really wish.

Oh boy I'm not ready for this Last episode Final Episode 16 Didn't take a lot of notes this time. It was a decent ending I guess, one of the better ones for sure. I think we saw everything we needed to, but I wished everything would have been a bit longer. Yeon Su staying in Korea, realizing that she always lived a beautiful life, staying true to the people who put faith in her and stayed by her side, Sol-Yi always being the MVP. Choi studied in France, perfectly mastered the french technique of sipping tea. NJ still trying to shallowly manipulate their relationship. Eon Ho asking Sol-Yi for a date. Ji Ung spending time with his mom and trying to fix the relationship to his mother. Cutter Girl making her move and telling Ji Ung she likes him. The only thing that I really would have loved to see more of, how he felt about this and if they were dating at the end. Choi also confronting his dad and realizing his mother always knew he knew. Beautiful scenes. And ultimatively, our OTP marrying at the end, while doing another documentary. Overall, beautiful last episode. I enjoyed it.

Episode 15 Ji Woons story is so sad, it could be an actual drama on it's own. I wonder what struggles his mom had to face. How fast Choi went from "They had a huge sale and they said I should get one" to "I paid full price" just because Yeon Su liked them. So funny V's Christmas Tree is really such a great OST. I mean it sets records on Spotify and other platforms, it totally crushes Radio stations in korea and all, but it really is just a fantastic song. Sigh, cutter girl tries so, so hard, but Ji Woong is all over the place and she really doesn't stand a chance. I mean, the situation with his mother is really tough and it's clear that his mind is focussed on this, but I see dark times ahead regarding their future. She obviously cannot make a move on him and he sents signs of being unapproachable. I doubt we will see this ship sailing, especially with only one episode left. Small bummer and will get a 0.5 deducation for my final note. NJ displays quite well why she has no real friends, spending money is easier for her than spent time with people. She rather sold out the whole hour instead of becoming friends first. Money can buy you friends, but money can't buy you real friends. Choi spending money on gifts for Yeon Su isn't great either, the first two gifts were cute, but covering her in gifts will backfire. Love isn't buyable, at least not real love. I would still date NJ every day of the week. They would have been a cute couple aswell. Jo Woong calling Choi to open up his heart and telling him first that his mom is going to die is such a beautiful meaningful scene. After all, they are like brothers. Even if Choi is the one who is dating the girl he loves and he needed some space, at the end of the day, they're brothers. I can understand Yeon Su being very emotional and the talk with halmoni being very sad, but in which world is absence due to an emergency a reason for ruining everything and fearing a break-up? Especially with Choi, who has a lot of sympathy for everything. Very sad episode, a lot to do tomorrow! To be honest, there is so much to cover, so many things to fix, I doubt we will have a satisfying ending for every plotline and some things won't end nicely. I imagine NJ & Choi's plot is finished now, which officially makes NJ the most meanlingless female second lead I ever watched. Seriously, if NJ wouldn't exist in this drama, the story and drama would have been the same. She didn't have any impact on any plotline.

My girl is not giving up yet. She is so pretty. It's almost a crime to refuse to date her.

Him? No. But ofc I remember HER! She was my favorite 2nd lead. I have so many gifs of her.

But you have to watch it from Choi's pov aswell, from his point of view, it really does look pathetic. Sure, he later forget, but in the situation he learned about the reason, his harsh words included truth. Yeon Su hesistating to tell him now aswell, probably indicates that she remembers his words aswell. He had a point.

But she makes three steps before even consulting or asking him. Who says it's a burden for him? It's like he said, if she says she doesn't like him anymore, that's sad, but acceptable, but if the sole reason for her is to not put any burden on him, if her sole reason is to avoid her own low self esteem, then it's pathetic. She cannot decide for him, if it's a burden or not, he always wanted to be there for her. Nah, I still think he would have gone his way. He already reflected on himself while their were still being together. He looked at universities after he realized he may have sounded aimless. Yeon Su was a source of strength for him, she always way. She could have motivated him, like she always did. Leaving him did the same as being with him, just with a lot more pain. ESPECIALLY anti-fans are interested in this. Also, she didn't become so successful and owns three houses from only having anti-fans. If she is part of the business since 10years, she will have attention anywhere she goes, if people like her or not. No, now it's too late anyway, but during the last 2-3 episodes it would have been natural if Choi Ung had to face public attention and people following his steps. I mean, during the drama NJ and others apologize to him that he has to endure a celebrity scandal, even Yeon Su always says how likely it is that her crush is part of a national celebrity dating scandal, but in fact, it didn't play any role at all. Choi barely had to face anything. Exactly. A glimpse of how it is, journalists gathering in front of his house, people following him around, maybe invading his personal space. He was caught on cam with the most successful celebrity, people would go crazy if this would happen in rl.
