every episode is around 10 minutes long.

Isn't that called a trailer? 😂

It sounds like torture to keep waiting for 10 min episodes haha.

For now, I tell myself to finish using the samples first 😂

Then the emails for singles day, black friday and all kinds of special days for sales come. Then I to think again....

Question 2

I watched these because it showed up on Netflix, and turned out to be decent:

The Glory - surprisingly these 2 had great chemistry lol. It was a good revenge too.

Lies Hidden In My Garden - super slow but you do want to find out what happened.

Sorry to be late! Question 1 first.

I think I watched the least dramas this year since I joined you gals in 2020. A lot of kdramas didn't interest me, so I dabbled in some cdramas. Plus a lot of time spent watching reruns of LLTG, then FITYMI then Devil's Play lol.

My favourite this year would be the cdrama Fake It Till You Make It! Such outstanding dialogue, not seen for a very long time. Thanks to 40somethingajumma for recommending - I would be quite sad to have missed this.

The next would be Revenant for me too. A good suspense.

And special shout out for League of Nobleman. Loved the mysteries.

He was Zhao Lusi's love interest. The guy who followed her around in the second half and took a beating for her. Tall chap.

Oh right! I thought he was quite cool there. Quietly protecting her.

I am actually over 50 so 40somethingahjumma is more of a brand these days. :D

 

I grew up with Adam Cheng. I think my mother was in love with him. 

We're the same age range then!

All mothers of our generation were in love with Adam Cheng and Patrick Tse 😂

Don't tell me that cooking school owner is Yi Ju's biological mother!

I've only watched a bit of episode one, but I can say that Liu Yuning's acting has improved since the last time I saw him (The Long Ballad). 

I thought he looked familiar. What role was he in TLB?

More than once I thought about the A-Team while I was watching this. (Showing my age here I know)

@Chocolate Do you like wuxia?

Ahem, I grew up with A Team too, and also wuxia (think Chu Liu Xiang, the Adam Cheng version) hahaha. Many times, I wonder if I am older than you, 'cause I don't know when your '40somethingahjumma' was created 🤔😂

Will give this a shot.

Can't say that I think that FL lead looks cross-eyed to me.

I'll screenshot for you next time I see it lol.

Sad to hear that Sung Hoon isn't doing it for you BUT are you enjoying the show???

Not as much as I would if I LOVED the ML, like Fake It. But you're right that Lee Mi Sook is a joy to watch. So is her daughter actually.

Up to ep5. Hate to say this @40somethingahjumma but for a moment, I preferred Seo Jung Wook to Seo Do Guk 😂. I wouldn't mind a story where SJW and Yu Ra hook up but he drops her (because she is a greedy monster) when he realises that he truly loves Yi Ju, turns good and they have their HEA 😂😂 Sung Hoon is very bland as leading man. And agree the FL looks like Shin Hye Sun at some angles - but do you find her a bit cross eyed? 🤔

I have a friend who likes these kinds of dramas, so I caught one of the earlier episodes. That was when she just asked him to marry her instead of her sister, and he then rescued her from being locked in her room by her stepmother ala Rapunzel lol.

The problem is I first saw Sung Hoon in Love Marriage Ft Divorce and don’t really think much of his acting. But if he is going to be the next Elvis Han, well then, I should give this a try lol.

That said, their chemistry is quite hot.

Time flies. From 2020 when I first discovered Binjin to now, the baby is 1 year old. It's so satisfying to watch this relationship develop. Happy birthday, baby Alkongie 🥳

Jacqy | I am in a happy place now @Miss_Yejinshi

Happiest birthday to baby #Alkongie, who brought happiness to his parents, #SonYeJin and #HyunBin, and to this fandom. May you grow up to be a good person like your Appa and playful like your Eomma. God bless you, baby Alkongie. We will always celebrate you.

I like this too. Seems like it doesn’t matter whether male or female, as long as there is a chaebol lead, I’m in 😂 Plot is also moving along nicely. So many suspects!

I was talking about this with @mademoiselle and @SilverMoonTea already because I've watched too many essential videos. Besides keys, wallet, and money, what is everyone's top 10 daily essentials? 

Mine is just wallet, handphone, tissue. Car keys if I am driving.

So there is really no reason to buy handbags anymore 😭

In fact, I now like using those free canvas bags for casual hahaha.

Does anyone really need 10 things daily? What are yours?

This was a decent watch. The 2 leads were very good. I would be looking out for KYK - I think I can go and watch D-Day now 😂 SHK's acting as usual is exceptional - it is amazing how he seems to be able to effortlessly make his eyes turn pink/red and veins popping up his face.

Plot wise, the pace was a little slow. Probably 6-8 episodes would have been sufficient. Or they could have included made the final betrayal a little more intricate.

Just starting ep7 and yes! Your oppa looks mighty nice in suits @abs-oluteM. He should stop playing psychopaths and villians and do some romance or thrillers to win some new fans hahaha.

HDS's specs is off now, next will be hair up right, to mark his transition. I'm worried though that he would betray SDY at the end...

If you haven't watched Big Bet, I recommend it highly. Starts of slow but it's a clever show. I can see why Choi Min-sik agreed to do it even though he doesn't usually do dramas.

Oh good. I did part of ep 1. Will get back to it. Also before I terminate D+ lol.

Comments of eps 5 & 6 in spoiler 

Spoiler

The change in Dong Soo is subtle but it’s clear that he’s “tasted blood” & likes it. I think  what scares his brother Beom Jae is that he’s seeing a very different side to DS. In the earlier parts , each time he did SDY’s bidding it was because he felt threatened by SDY. However by the end of eps 6 , he’s the one asking to join forces with SDY. Don’t blame him considering what his ex boss has done & how powerless DS feels.
 

While SDY is no doubt violent & has no qualms getting rid of those that betrayed him , he did keep his end of the bargain and let HS go when HS fulfilled his promise. SDY is shrewd & appreciates DS’s brilliance. What SDY did for HS at the mother’s funeral won HS over . 

 

Yes, HDS liked the high of winning and a little would tip him over.

SDY, if I had to choose between who is left standing at the end, I would prefer SDY. Not sure why hehe. But I think he knew HDS's mother would be attacked and did nothing to stop it, probably because he was using it as another trigger point to get HDS to stay. If DS found out...

They look good. Will try.

At ep 4. Quite tired of seeing Han Dong Soo being naive and suffering from the injustice. So I'm really hoping to see him working with Seo Do Young soon, who btw seems to have only 1 pink jacket lol.

@Chocolate What's your MBTI?

I've not done the test. Probably an ISTJ type. What's yours?

During my time, it was DISC. Mine was high D.

@mademoiselle Hahaha, he's probably more experienced unbuckling then buckling. I also have the same question as you.

I mean, was there the same misdirection like with Han Jipeong 😅

I also don't like that he just grabbed her and forced himself on her/kiss in the other video. She might be on her phone looking at her God Tier Oppa and he's interrupting!

Hahahaha, you mean if a guy you like approaches you while you are looking at your God Tier Oppa, you will ask him to go away and come back later??? 😱 I would even wake up at 6am and cook him breakfast!
