What are you currently watching?

Just finished this one. I’ve never been that interested in BL drama/movies. I mean, it’s fine but it’s just not my genre of choice. This one looked good and was very highly rated so I thought, for a change of pace, I’d give it a try. I was so surprised. It was really good with some laugh-out-loud spots (for me, anyway). These two are so sweet to each other. I watched the movie instead of the series 'cause I felt the need for instant gratification. LOL.

I have watched the movie Jung_E and I’m so disappointed

my_happy_place · January 31, 2023, 8:32pm

I just added that to my watch list, but is it not worth it?

Who knows, maybe you’ll like it. But I expected something else…
I felt like I was watching a bad episode of “Black Mirror”.

Top dramas/movies for me, and hopefully you might like them too.

I finally finished watching THE QUEEN’S UMBRELLA (SK)

#1 so far for me is JUNG_E- from South Korea. LOVED the almost PERFECT special effects used, and how realistic the story looks. PLEASE, don’t watch behind the scenes clips bc it will lose its magic.

I believe you will like it. Worth watching and hoping there’s a second part based on the ending scene. Looking forward to it (hopefully).

I just recently binged “The Fabulous.” I enjoyed it.

That’s two different perspectives for “JUNG_E,” so I guess I’ll have to watch it and make up my own mind. I’m fairly easy to please.

angelight313_941 · February 1, 2023, 12:07am

@my_happy_place

Did you watch THE GLORY? I usually don’t like the actress ‘‘acting skills’’ but in here she’s doing great, and I can’t wait for part 2. The theme is hard to swallow but it happens in real life and I want to see her get revenge to the full extend of her mighty will.

PS I loved The Fabulous and binged all episodes, but too bad it was kind of short. I wanted more.

my_happy_place · February 1, 2023, 12:09am

I haven’t. I have come to realize that I really can’t handle dramas that involve extreme bullying, no matter how well they are done. I need to stay away from them for my own mental health.

angelight313_941 · February 1, 2023, 12:14am

@my_happy_place

This drama in particular has been to me kind of therapeutic since I was bullied a lot during/mostly of my school years (until I did like the character/ decided to take matters in my own hands since no one ever helps the victim). This is one bullying drama I have enjoyed a lot since someone is fighting back too, and winning so far… Hope they don’t mess up part 2, I will be so pissed.

What’s the title? I love TVN dramas bc they are the best. I also love to watch spooky dramas/movies. Thanks for sharing!

I believe she was referring to “Missing: The Other Side, Season 2.” I watched the first season, and it was excellent. I am patiently waiting for all eps to drop for season 2, then I will dive in.
