What are you currently watching?

Let’s just say I’ll never rewatch this.
I only finished it because I hated it so much. FF 70% of this nonsense.

Tropes:

Summary

Revenge upon revenge upon revenge
FL has zero backbone
Crazy MIL
Ex-gf/ex-bf
Clingy girl arranged by mom
Very obsessed, petty, manipulative and stalker 2ml
Did I mention FL is weak? Well, she chooses to believe her “friend” rather than her lover most of the time.
Again, PSYCHO manipulative 2ml, probably the most frustrating one ever.
Alzheimer disease
Breakup, breakup, breakup (leads breakup more than they’re together)

The list can go on…

I DID watch the first 10 eps. without FF, so I’m proud of that. Lol

This drama should be called, “If Paris Goes DOWNHILL” because that’s certainly what happened. Whole plot kept rolling downhill.

LOL thank you very much for the review… I’ll be steering CLEAR of this one :joy:

You won’t be missing out for sure! LOL

It might have been a decent plot if it was around 20 eps. The writers must have been on some crazy pills to stretch it to 48 eps. :rofl:

You were right. I’m finally starting to like her… and it has LOTS to do with Oh Ji Hyuk having a crush on her :joy::joy: She’s actually a fun person, it’s just her job that sucks. I love all the main characters now… and I can’t BEAR seeing Oh Jong Se as a murderous villain :sob::sob: He’s SUCH a versatile actor

And I love the other ML’s plot arc - he’s so cute when he switches from Investigator Mode to Dad Mode :joy: .

Finished it yesterday because I needed something to erase the horror of, If Paris Downcast.

This jdrama is fluffy and quick. FL is so cute and awkward, I couldn’t stop laughing. The “rate R” isn’t even as extreme as say, “Coffee & Vanilla” or “In-House Marriage Honey” but it’s “cute” Lol

I wished it was a longer series. The plot was good enough to be a full length dorama.

Currently watching the Chinese drama Reset. I’m stuck at home and that’s the only drama that gets me through my repetitive days until my school semester begins again. The wait was so bad for me that I went and watched the other episodes without English subs, relying on my basic Mandarin and the actors’/actresses’ facial expressions to understand what was going on.

I’m trying to find another drama that’s similar to help me with the wait.

I haven’t been this impatient for a drama in a long time, lol! I was looking for a drama to watch after rewatching the Thai remake of I’m Sorry, I Love You, so I thought I’d watch The Legend of the Blue Sea. I only got up to episode 8 before I dropped it. I don’t like Lee Min Ho’s character and the plot was too cheesy and romantic for me.

On a whim, I decided to try Reset because I have watched a Chinese movie of the same name, so I thought it was somehow related. Anyways, I’m glad I did! Sure, it does have its shortcomings, but I’m very willing to overlook that for the actors and the plot. I love the chemistry between the ML and FL! Even though the genre isn’t romance, the way the relationship develops between the two given their circumstance is very believable for me.

This one’s on my watchlist because I love Bai Jing Ting(ML)! Seeing how you’re struggling, I guess I’ll wait till it’s over :sweat_smile:

If you want to watch more of ML Bai Jing Ting, I’d recommend You are My Hero(Medical/Military rom com). It’s one of my favorite cdramas.

Someday or One Day - I’ve seen lots of people say that both dramas have the same feel.

Time loops - Familiar Wife(Ji Sung x Han Ji Min). They repeat the time loop on purpose, though.

More people messing around with time - mainly romance: Go Back Couple and Tomorrow With You.

People messing around with time in crime dramas - Signal.

Episode 12 of The Good Detective oh my goodness the casting is just PERFECT. I’ve always respected Oh Jong Se because he’s such a versatile actor, but I didn’t expect Jang Seung Jo to be THIS good - he is NOT just a (REALLY)handsome face. It’s so real, I could really see fear and confusion in the eyes of a man who has always been reckless and suave. It was a knife-fight scene, and the heavy breathing, the hurt, the words… everything was just so realistic. I love it when actors just immerse themselves in the role and don’t mind sacrificing looking perfect all the time for realistic scenes.

I love the end credits

I just finished this NF T-drama today and it was a goodie. If you like older women/younger men tropes, then this is for you. No fast-forwarding needed here. Acting was good, plot was good, chemistry between actors was good. Me likie! :wink:

this struck home yesterday, one part mentioned gaslight theory this one wow! negativity for sure, so I guess I have allowed people to in so many words cut me down like, you aren’t good enough, you can’t do it and so on. but this is a good psychology drama, hey starting a mystery there too! is the psyche dr and that other dr bros I did that just in case

this is also a good one

wasn’t there another drama with someone losing their sense of smell and helped another person??
