    Has anyone started this? It starts with the army trying to hide Suk Bong’s case as mental illness. But there’s a new shooting and the soldier was smart to use a live stream to say he was bullied. Jun Ho and Ho Yeol are back as a pair. But HY can’t talk. I am still unsure if Son Suk Kyu’s character is supposed to be good or bad, but leaning to the good side I think. At 2 of 6 episodes so the pace is decent.

    Transferring @mademoiselle's query here: I'm not too clear on this too. I think he was not doing well at one point in life and wanted the spirit to help him. Can anyone confirm/clarify? I'm also a bit confused. Did the spirit go from YHS's father to GGM? Who will she be?

    Aren’t most books in black and white? Why do you need colour? 😂 But noted that sometimes it’s just convenience because the iPad has everything. Thanks @SilverMoonTea I read will the synopsis and reviews and try one when I next have free time.

    I'm amazed that all you rational people are still watching! This drama is like an excuse for them to kiss! 🤣

    I like mysteries too but has to be really good. Hard to find. Is the writing for The It Girl good so far? David Baldacci says the author is “The Agatha Christie of our generation”. That's high praise. I will try one day. Haha, that's why I didn't buy the book and still waiting for the library version. Maybe should check out the book summary instead, cause the book is quite thick. Oh, Kindle cannot read library books. Must buy from Kindle store or if you have a epub or pdf book. I used it before I discovered the online library. Yes, handphone is sufficient if you are comfortable with the small screen. I seldom use the Kindle now too because there is a Kindle app for the phone, so no point carrying an extra gadget out. The only bad thing is if you are by the beach or pool, the reflection from the sun is really bad for the phone - the Kindle with the e-ink screen is much better then.

    Hahaha, I lasted half an episode for ep1. No, it's not horror scary. It's more a mystery thriller. Very good.

    I started reading from the Kindle in 2011 and never went back to physical books. Like you say, it is so convenient because you have all the books any time and it's just one thin gadget versus a thick book. And if you like to read while eating/drinking, just a tap and you can flip the page vs holding a book open with one hand and trying not to spoil the spine lol. But convenience is also a bad thing. It used to be that I bought books at the airport before a holiday. But with Kindle, I could buy books online at anytime! I remember buying 50 books at a go in London, because there was no access in Singapore so I was stocking up. Then I kept reading and work suffered. Really needs a lot of discipline. Same as you, now I try to borrow the books from the online library if they are available. Except you may have to wait for the popular ones - I'm waiting for "Atomic Habits" and am 4000+ in the queue hahaha. Saves so much $$$. The Libby app is great to use, except do you know if there is a desktop version? I've donated hundreds of books and kept only about 20 of the ones I really like. Saves a lot of space too. Don't think I will ever go back to physical books.

    This was quite a scary scene 😂 BTS

    @UnniSara In the first 10 books, Jim was written as a good Security Chief. In that position, he just had to do what he was good at. But not everyone in that position can graduate to be a good overall leader. I can't remember how he became leader - was he selected by the pack or appointed by Curran? To be fair, no one can match up to Curran, so whoever took over would have a tough time. In any case, you need respect and ability to be able to manage the pack. Without ability, he can't get respect and once the pack rebels, he will also not be able to manage them. So he was probably under immense pressure. Plus he clearly wants to keep his position. So he chose to compromise his character. It's a good thing I was not too immerse in Jim's and Dali's story 😅 But I like that Curran is the bigger guy here. He may not trust Jim anymore but he also does not want to be the one to bring him down. Just another reason to love Curran! It looks like the composition and rules will be different for the new pack compared to the previous one. Excited to see how it develops. I am also excited to read Julie's next book, because there was high tension with Derek last time!

    I'm up to date too. Yes, I find this drama very noisy 😅 DJ is always shouting! Do we know what was the ending that DJ wrote? He couldn't read the "girlfriend from the past" too. But where did the stone come from? I don't remember seeing it at all except when it suddenly appeared in the recent episode when KS had the terrible headache in the "girlfriend from the past"'s shop.

    Yes, I watched Watcher a few months ago. Not bad, but Shadow Detective is much better. I thought Choi was already involved in some drug thing before he was "caught" by LYH? Or did I get that wrong... oops.

    What do you think? Is this Sanyeong or the ghost? Is Lee Hyangi the real name? Edit. 😱 if this is true, how brilliant! Regardless if it works.

    No no, just need a bit of mindset change. Don't see Oh Jung Se as ML. More as co-ML with that young detective. When they didn't get Gong Yoo, it seems they split the ML role into 2 🤣 (my imagination only because Oh Jung Se's role is not very significant). Oooh what kind of exercise? Do at home or outside? I've been trying to start too.

    This is my favourite show now! So sad it's ending next week. It's very sad about detective Seo, especially given his long relationship with Haesang. What I don't understand is why can't they say something more useful the minute they know they are being controlled by the spirit like "Help!" 😅 since he managed to squeeze out "Prof Yeom is right". Ep9 was quite amazing. The previous episodes gave some hints that the spirit was not Lee Mokdan. It was too easy for one, and people kept dying when something new was about to be discovered. But the way it was gradually revealed was very exciting. Kim Taeri is doing wonders with the dual role. "You opened the door" gave me goosebumps 😍 Oh Jung Se, I feel, is underutilised. No one can complain about his acting, but his role in unravelling this mystery seems to be rather limited. Instead, detective Lee has stepped up in this episode. And for those who need romance, the ghost likes detective Lee 😂 So who is the evil spirit and what is the story? What a scene! All Gifs from https://silvertrhee.tistory.com/1274

    Thanks. I’ve started. It’s better than expected. Ep 3 now.

    After episode 5, I just want to say I don't remember the finer points of S1 much. Think will need a re-watch.

    I think it is because VERITY was suddenly very popular. I kept seeing it everywhere. So I read it but think it is over-rated. You try. @UnniSara I've read Magic Claims. Still good and yes they are forming a new pack in Wilmington. A new kind of pack. I'm looking forward to the books but likely will be a very long wait. They have so many different series in the queue. Although I'd read any that comes out lol.

    He is like Hyun Bin. Can sing and play the piano just well enough for an FM 😆

    Did anyone watch this? Plot is not bad. You don’t really know who is telling the truth. But very slow, not in terms of pacing, but rather as if filmed in slow motion - each scene lasts a long time, so if you watched at 2 or 3x speed it may seem normal haha. Great acting by all. 8 episodes.

    @mademoiselle It looks like the upcoming Shanghai era drama may be quite interesting. He says he had to change to act in that. You should try it then let us know if the plot is good, before we start 😂 Essentially, from the video: - He thinks he is not a naturally talented actor, thus he has to work hard. - His favourite seems to be Handsome Siblings, or maybe he thinks that helped him be more recognised. - He doesn't like to have too much free time haha

    I may try if the plot is good.
