Segue Cafe - meet up with friends to chat about whatever strikes your fancy

I caught my son microwaving something on our ‘fancy’ plates (the ones for special occasions that we never actually use) the other day. They have a ‘gold’ band around them. I was like, “You can’t use those to microwave. What were you thinking?!” And he’s says, “I wondered why it was sparking.” Oh my goodness, that kid. :woman_facepalming::sweat_smile:

You know, in his defense, if no one tells you, how are you supposed to know?

:rofl: Wise words.

He has been told that metal cannot go in the microwave, but it didn’t even occur to him that the banding on these plates was metal. LOL

I have a topic Question to ask and now I don’t have to start a new THREAD!

When you watch a GREAT drama! Like I am loving Tomorrow With You Right now! Do you look at the writer and try to find more of their dramas!???

I know that I loved Vincenzo and the same writer wrote Junho’s Good Manager! This makes me want to watch it even more. Same with the writer of Goblin

I don’t usually but I should, some of my favorite dramas are written by the same writers.

I never have, but I don’t know why. However, when I fall for a particular actor or actress in a drama, I will immediately track down everything else I can that they starred in.

I think it is something I might start doing! Because especially if you love one of their dramas I’m sure you will love another!

Kim Eun-sook Who Wrote Goblin Wrote Secret Garden, Heirs, Gentleman’s Dignity and
DOTS (only reason I have a problem with DOTS is the FL) But I loved all these others!
I need to watch Mr Sunshine

Just like with authors of novels. I have several for whom I’ve collected all or most of their books. When you connect with a certain author’s writing, it’s reasonable to assume you’ll like their other work.

Yes, I do. There are the famous Hong sisters. I love most of their dramas.


I’m always looking forward to their next project.

I also love Zhang Kai Zhou’s work. He’s a director and worked on several dramas I loved:

Lately I became a fan of Kim Eun Hee because of her work on Kingdom and of Im Me Ah Ri because of Doom!

Mr Sunshine is great :star_struck: but her last drama, The King: Eternal Monarch wasn’t good. I couldn’t finish it.

I actually loved it! It all wraps up so well at the end that I cried and cried! Once I got all the symbolism! I loved it and well I love Minho! I will watch it again -

And my cat is
The KING - Eternal Ferris

Yes! I’ve been trying to track down all screenplays that my favorite writer, Kim Eun-sook, has written. She’s the one who wrote the screenplays for Goblin, DOTS, Heirs, etc. Some aren’t available but a large number of them are.
I should say I have been trying to track down the productions of her screenplays. :wink:
Additional edit: Sorry, I just noticed that others had written about this writer as well. @kdrama2020ali, yes. You should make time to watch Mr. Sunshine. I rate that right under Goblin. The bromance factor was through the roof!

I love their work, Master’s Sun is one of my all time favorites!

To be honest - The reason that Goblin is my #1 is the Bromance between Goblin and Grim Reaper - when they in the present realize at the temple who each other are - and goblin walks slowly towards grim reaper who is standing at the top like he did as the boy king - I hyper ventilated and had to pause the TV

@stardust2466_546 Your opinion on TKEM - I loved it! Once I felt all the feels as it came together.

I think that (bromance) is a big factor in Kim Eun-sook’s writing style, especially since about 2010 or so. You see it in A Gentleman’s Dignity, Goblin, Mr. Sunshine, and to a certain degree in TKEM. I loved, loved, loved TKEM and am seriously debating watching it again. I watched a bunch of TKEM Youtube clips this afternoon.

Oh wait for me! I’ll watch it with you! When do you think you might watch it again! I love MINHO’s deep voice in that! Such a good KING! And I know I will see more symbolism in it the 2nd time.

Those two I love them - Woo Do Hwan and Minho

Whatever works best for you! :wink: Probably not this week as I need to finish up The Great Doctor, (I’m enjoying eye-candy Minho in that one and I’m on ep 11 of 24!), and When I See You Again with dimpled cutie Jasper Liu. I’ll have my people contact your people to see if you are ready for a re-watch party in the next week or so. LOL!
