vivi_1485, you are sooo right on that one, so I found my alternative " Don’t call it a mystery" at least till the episodes come on!! But this one is cute too,

Binge-watched Secret/Secret Love this weekend because I was under the weather and had no motivation. This one reminded me of An Innocent Man except with the FL taking the rap for her boyfriend. I thought it was comparable to the aforementioned drama except it was missing SJK. But this one had Ji Sung which kind of made up for it. A very bittersweet drama with lots of tears but it did have a decent ending.

Just finished:
Juvenile Justice

It was hard to watch and know that there are some real cases in there, it makes you think about how to avoid that kind of situation? But it’s really well done.

Besides the inconsistencies in the plot, I really enjoyed it. Since they get the romance in, I would love to watch more about it but it was just disappointing.

Sometimes I found these really short dramas that look pretty low quality but I found myself enjoying it lol. I can’t say that it’s the best drama I’ve ever seen, but I really enjoyed it, and the actor is so handsome, kind of remind me of Jun :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Shamelessly promoting From Now On, Showtime! because I’m desperate for someone to scream about it with

Heartwarming tiny sub-plots where ML helps ghosts to fulfill their last wishes and send them to nirvana. A tragic past-life shrouded in secrets. This past connection was surprisingly well-written, I’m extremely curious to know what happened

And a dash of thrilling mystery, led by a very creepy evil spirit villain.

The comedy is so well done… I’ve been laughing so hard all through the drama. The actors don’t shy away from seriously funny physical as well as dialogue-based comedy. At it’s heart, this drama is one big party

@ratatouille_raco,

Is what I found very well done, the heart, talent, and hardwork of the cast, and crew shines. Everything @command_234 wrote, I applaud!

I consider Pinocchio among Suki’s best works!

Oh my, youre watching it too?? Yayyy :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: im dying to wtch ep 9… how could they give us such previews :sob::sob: we’re all living in denial, saying its all a dream

Btw, doesn’t Jin Ki Joo look absolutely stunning in a hanbok? I would love to see her in a sageuk😍 cant believe this is the first time she’s doing action sequences… she’s such a natural.

I agree that Jin Ki Joo would be great in a sageuk. What I especially love about this show is the ensemble work. Both ML and FL are obviously great but all the side characters are so much fun to watch. Btw, did you know that Kim Hee Jae was a contestant in the “Mr. Trot” audition in 2022? I might have added the information as a T/N if I were subbing the show.

Ikr! One of the main highlights of my most beloved dramas are strong supporting casts. Everyone contributes to the overall mood of the drama, and they also help bring out different aspects of the leads’ characters. Especially ML’s little ghost company… I love the genius-little-sister, the levelheaded and kind old man(who showed us his sense of humor in that absolutely hilarious presentation scene :joy:), and the lovelorn ex-gangster. I liked how the gangster just charges into fights while Chief Nam prefers to sit and stealthily trip people. The balance of heartwarming, action and comedy scenes is just right.

And the General Spirit :joy::joy: his character is just so funny… I know he hides deep dark secrets but he really orchestrates the whole show with his wacko sense of humor. I loved how this drama takes the unconventional path - instead of the tropey “they will be dangerous together so we must separate them for the peace of the universe,” the general’s whole mission is to matchmake them :joy::joy:

Yes! I’ve heard him perform before(i had a trot loving phase after falling for Lim Young Woong and songs like Amor Fati and 네가 왜 거기서 나와 :joy:)… it was fun to watch him perform drunkenly during their party

Yep, with this show, you can experience the entire range of emotions, from heartache to ROFL. That 30,000 jegi chagi.:joy:

It’s the best drama right now.
It has everything: romance, comedy, mystery, action, fantasy. A little historical touch with the past lives. I didn’t expect this drama to be so good.

I’ve never seen people DISRESPECT a Grim Reaper so much :joy::joy: the poor guy just wanted to get his job done and Cha Woong just flat out yells “Go away!” :joy: i lost it when the General took him to the bumper cars and carousel - the man was enjoying himself so muchhhh that slow motion waving was hilarious :joy:

All the handsome, cold, sexy trenchcoat/suit wearing Grim Reapers you can’t mess with have all either retired, become gumihos, or are running sround the set of Tomorrow, so poor 2000 year old Reaper has to deal with this disrespectful generation 🥲 but then again, Lee Dong Wook takes his ghosts away in style and elegance, not giving us the satisfaction of watching a bad guy get tied up and gagged with red ropes lol

@mas4 yep thanks for joining the FNOS Promotion Squad :joy::heart:

Have you watched this, though? Our main group of reapers don’t have a trench coat in their wardrobe, or, well, maybe a brightly colored one. :smile: Also, there has been a soul or two who have told the reapers to give them a darn minute. They’ve got things to do.

Needless to say, I am currently watching ‘Tomorrow’ and absolutely loving it. It also has a touch of action, fantasy, some mystery involving past lives that is being revealed bit by bit, and just the right amount of comedic relief to balance out the heartstring tugging. There is a bromance developing, and the overall ensemble is really enjoyable. It’s really well-written and has some incredibly creatively-filmed scenes.

Yeah, I’ve seen a few clips and it’s high on my watchlist. I know they wear suits and stuff(by trenchcoats, I was referring to the Reapers in Black, Along with the Gods, and Goblin) :sweat_smile: I’m just scared about how it will end, so I’m waiting for it to finish airing. I heard thst it was pretty heavy at times…

ML Cha Woong isn’t a ghost, he’s a human who can see the ghost world, so he has zero respect for any sort of invisible being. The dead ghost didn’t want to go with the Reaper until her case had been solved, so she hid behind ML as he swatted the Reaper away :joy::joy: they finally came to a compromise - if Reaper left the ghost alone for sometime, ML would treat him to good food at his house. Little did he know that Distraction Squad was lying in wait for him, so he couldn’t collect the ghost till three days after. :joy::sweat_smile:

Actually, the main trio basically just wear street clothes. They have a unique job within the reaper world that does, in fact, deal with some heavy stuff, which is why the comedic relief is so appreciated.

If it ends well, I’ll definitely watch! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: The premise is quite unique and interesting.

I haven’t even tried to contemplate what the ending may be. We will see.

I haven’t started watching From Now On Showtime yet, and I think I’ll wait until a few more eps are posted to start! I always kick myself for starting the in progress ones.

Right now I am anxiously waiting for “Sh**ting Stars” and “Master of My Own.” The latter at least posts new eps at a faster rate, so it’s almost done I think. I wasn’t really sure about it initially, even though I love Seven Tan. At the beginning, the ML is really awful, but there is genuine, believable character growth in it and a strong awesome female lead who goes from being kind of meek to really being good at her job. At first the plot seems a little all over the place–the Chinese dramas always seem to pack in every trope they can–but it eventually comes together, IMO, and now that it’s a few eps from the end I’m loving it. I don’t claim to understand all the investing stuff, but the general jist of it is easy enough to follow. Check “Master of My Own” out, the acting is superb. It’s clear that the actors were chosen for their acting talent. I personally think the leads are attractive but definitely not in a cookie cutter 20-year-old-idol way.

Also been watching “Don’t Say No.” It’s OK. I am not getting a lot of chemistry between the leads and TBH it’s boring me a bit even though I hoovered up Tharntype. All the Tharntype spinoffs are just missing something without that Mew-Gulf off the charts chemistry. OK really I think it’s Mew. Mew could have amazing hot chemistry with a landscaping rock if he tried.

Hi @leerla73 @ratatouille_raco

It was quite difficult to explain what Pinocchio was, without really giving any spoilers away, but I think I just about managed to somehow.
