I don’t think this is like a Daesang- level drama. Its just an entertaining drama based on a webtoon. It is doing its job. Just like I like a good rom com ; I like a good fast flowing drama. This is like slice of life/fantasy/ office bonding type of drama. The directing is good. The actors can act. The props are done properly- someone had to have done the Officers Mess menu. The scene transition is good. The CGI isn't bad.

So yeah overall... for a Mon/ Tue light weekday drama that keeps me occupied with no cursing, some laughter, some sympathy; its doing its job.

Man the show is getting more interesting now that the dishes actually look like food.

The stakes are so much higher. I didn't anticipate so much machinations. I guess politics are politics anywhere.

By the way I did cook the persimmon tteokbokki last week. I am unsure how I feel about it. Would I go out of my way to look for persimmon pulp? No. However if I have overripe persimmon I guess I could cook it. It was actually hard to find an actual recipe as it was mostly persimmon powder seasoning. It did make the dish darker and glossy. It had more depth than just using corn syrup. Anyone still reading I did a 2 TBS gochupchang, 2TBS gochugaru and 1.5 TBS ganjang seasoning.

The puppy treat made me laugh because when my dogs are sick they did get proper food vs the dry food. I have a steam oven so they did get steamed jasmine and brown rice. Then diced pumpkin or sweet potato and oven top poached chicken breast meat. I didn't have a tiny dog, I had German Shepherds so it was a lot of rice. This was when the dogs were sick. Animals need more protein then vegetables so it was chicken breast meat rotated with beef or lamb. So there you go- the show wasn't that far off track.

Someone commented that sweet potatoes are toxic for dogs? Its raw sweet potato but not when its fully cooked. Dogs eat more protein anyway so the vegetable portions for a dog's meal isn't huge. When I feed my dogs a huge part of their meal was actually protein. Rice is because its easily digested by a dog's stomach. Our dog when it got older needed painkillers- so we had to go off dry food to cooked food twice a day.

Yes I do work and am not a stay at home mom. Its just that I can't stand bad food. My family eats quite well. I had chicken skewers and gado gado yesterday because I had a satay sauce craving. We had chicken and corn soup lately and spaghetti and meatballs.

Sorry... watching 2 back to back episodes has made me hungry. That greasy noodle dish with pork rind looks good on tv but there is no way I would cook it seeing it has pork rinds.

See you all next week. I am off to make some Japanese egg sandwich because I have the proper Shokupan bread.

I ended up sleeping at 2am because I watched ep 1-4 at once.

I had a low expectation coming in and the crazy shinip sawon has made me laugh so much. I do not like the arrogant, rude Chairman but was surprised he had some pronciples.

I know so many Korean shows where the bully the intern so having Kang Yong Ho open up the safe and just pulling money and gold bars just tickled my fancy. Its like Cinderella buying the fake Cindarellls's dream lifestyle.

The twins caught me by surprise. The are a self centred, unscrupulous, nasty couple.

Er isn't Legally Romance infamous now because Jin Ze was in it?

Reborn Rookie is good.

Lol. Yes it does.
What is the character's job that he needed to be blonde? Does he have a trendy dressing style then?

I just thought they meant that his apartment is close to Namsan and the implications were that he is rich. The others just have a dirty mind and I don't see any issues with your understanding of the subs.

I confessed that I read the comments and based on it only watched till the happy moments in ep 10 then the last 3 min of ep 10- omg. I will wait for ep 12 to air before resuming

So now I am stuck. There is nothing to watch. I have caught up on Kitchen Soldier. Then I have no Cdrama to watch as Ashes to crown is just terrible/ bad writing and directing.

Yes I know how to get to the airing calendar but even if I read the synopsis nothing catches my interest. Is there anything to catch currently? I was holding off on Dazzling as that bleached blond hair is not my thing however if you guys says the story is good I could potentially start it.

I only watched Perfect Crown till ep 11. I finished A splendid match. I just marathoned Filing for Love this week- that drama was excellent. I even went to rewatch bits of the Story of Park's Marriage Contract. I am about to start Reborn Rookie because I am kind of desperate because I have nothing to watch. What are you all watching please and do you recommend me starting your shows? Thanks.

Yes I know the acting from everyone is so good.

Cha Se Gye at the rooftop was just perfect. Its so rare that I see a guy literally show what it means " when the eyes are dripping with love."

Kdrama line. He was a goner. You can literally see him fall in love right there and now during the scene.

Wow. I don't know whether to curse the writers for being predictable or praise the actors for being so good.

Shesh man. Its going to be a long week.

Geez man.

Its been jarring you see.

Im Ji Yeon and Heo Nam Jun are hitting it out of the ballpark.

These 2 are intense. I think the plot and writing is or per normal for a Kdrama but the absolute intensity and chemistry those 2 generate have elevated the drama scenes for me. I don't even care what will happen in the next 5 episodes. I will remember this drama just from their scenes alone. I don't even usually care about reincarnation or transmigration dramas that much.

Where have the actors been man? I know they are good actors but their chemistry is absolutely insane.

Did I miss what happened to the Grand Prince. It has TRAGEDY written all over it.

My poor heart the last few weekends. It will get more intense won't it?

Now let me go back and watch ep 8 and bits of episode 9 again. Cha Se Gye and Sin Seo Ri are insanely magnetic together. I really want kids in the last episode if its a happy ending.

Man. Who did this casting?

Is the 10 year old Emperor voice dubbed? It sounds like an adult.

Ok thanks. I don't know half these dramas so will check it out one by one.

Oh dear its not good that I didn't finish any of the dramas which I did recognise. Maybe I shouldn't watch any rebirth dramas. I am happy to just watch the last episode.

I will go read it again. There have been so many dramas with Blossom I had forgotten which one. Isn't that her last drama?

Is this a transmigration drama? They all have bad endings.

This is a reincarnation drama. Can someone name happy endings for reincarnation dramas?

Proper ending. Not the last 1 minute ending. Or an open ended ending.

Thank you.

I had to stop at ep 2. I checked the profile for the director and 2 writers.

I assume the clunky writing is from the original novel. Its pretentious, story- wise kind of arrogant.

Is the novel actually any good? I am deliberating because I recognise the actors and they are usually better than this. But the ponderous, arrogant conversations are not interesting. I am trying to ignore them dressing the FL in red and doing dumb things. I can even spot where the green screen parts are. The computer graphics scene in ep 1 was so lame. Its the writing and directing. The actors have always been fine.

The scene transitions are clunky and the director has no sense of dramatic timing. Those long, long stares and pauses are 2 or more seconds too long. The staring scenes are also too long.

I can't work out if its because its a low budget drama or why would the actors who can act accept this script. Is there a surprise coming up? The make up people literally threw or sprayed pink paint on the ML's neck all the way down his V shaped collar. I have rarely seen a fighter with hardly any blood on the face but managed to spray his neck dark pink. Its not even splatters. Its a full on spray of fake blood.

I am reading the episode synopsis on Netflix. What is the novel about?

It felt very natural. The actors had the guts and the director actually shot it well.

Wow. I just marathoned it.
I had zero expectations and didn't even like the actor.

This has been a seriously well written romance. A lot of wit and insane couple and ensemble cast chemistry.

A lot of experienced secondary characters which played the various cases.

However I am more shocked that there is such a well written drama. I cackcled at the extremely clever dialogues and perfect comic timing.

Oh darn. The other streaming sites usually hyperlink stuff. I already have viki and Netflix. I cannot subscribe to another server
