LOL at sounds beefy!

Why do they uglify actresses? 🤦‍♀️ They do these weird hairstyles and dowdy fashion when in fact South Koreans in general are one of the most fashion forward in the world.

Interesting! Hats off to some SK productions for coming up with new ideas.
Speaking of which, there was study done in Yonsei Uni of making "beef rice". The scientists did a lot of fancy sciency stuff which basically infuses the rice with lab-cultured cow fat cells to make it mimic the taste of beef. The rice looks pinkish.
Dunno how I feel about this though. LOL!

Yeah Dong Yi was portrayed by Han HyoJoo. Saw many of her movies like Masquerade (really good historical with Lee Byunghun), Beauty Inside (movie was the inspo for Xixi's Follow Your Heart), Always( with gorgeous So Jisub), etc.
Didn't get to see Blood Free. What's it about?

Haha we're guilty of the same thing.
Dropping like flies... 🤣🤣🤣

Enjoy Blossom! 🪻🪻🪻

Exactly! Drama chasing is all harmless fun esp.with friends. 🥳

No, I'll start with S1 while waiting for the New Year. Haha! I was thinking of watching S2 first but like you and other viewers said, it is better to watch s1 to have a background of some cases and the character dynamics. 😊

My pleasure! 💕

How awesome is your list, Megumi!
I think I saw a third of the dramas+movie you listed there. This is another sign to squeeze in one more before the year ends with Strange Tales.hehe Here's to more visual entertainment in 2025! Cheers! 🍾🥂

Pretty decent for 6-7dramas 😁
FOF definitely served looks.
Too bad about the scriptwriting for LYF2...saw the warzone at its MDL page once.😅
We have another long wait for JOL3. Hoping it's not 5 years this time. 🤣

Coz it's not the best! Sorry not sorry, KSH et al! 🤣 There is only so much a stellar cast can do when the writing is subpar. 😶

Woah Dong Yi a classic.

Just watched 1 kdrama this year - KSH's Queen of Tears 🫣😂

It's so tragic! RIP to those poor souls. The 2 FAs who survived can deem themselves beyond lucky but I hope they can recover from the trauma. 🙏

1 and 2 are ❤️.
I should check out Mystic 9 for Lay haha
Just add to your list later as you remember them. 😆

Bingemate, let's go! I think other Moonies are also starting WPTR this week. Luckily 2 eps are left with the finale on the 4th. We don't have to wait. Nyahaha! 😂😜

WPTR, we're coming for you! 🤣🤣🤣

Been slacking on the kdrama front, didn't watch any of these except for Moving in 2023. The story and cast were great! The Jo Insung-Han Hyojoo chemistry caught me off guard. Even watched JIS's reality show Unexpected Business (in CA) coz HHJ guested after Moving haha

*drumroll*
BaiLu is white deer in Chinese

White deer in the headlights *badumps!* 😂🤡🤪

Love foxy PR and TTJ dynamics!

TTJ: Work-life balance, what is that? 🤣

It's leaning towards optimistic OE but there are certain sad events that won't make it seem so. 😢
Some viewers opted to stop at ep.35 to consider it an HE. 😅🫣😆

TTEOTM brainrot is real. I mean we've been (happily) stuck here since airing. 🤣🤣🤣

Lulu and Xixi are so good, aren't they? They had many excellent scenes but the dungeon confrontation was a masterclass in acting. 👏👏👏

Btw, if you wanna check it out, we have a post-TTEOTM discussion compilation like special audio, HE novel chapters, etc.: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/hei-yue-guang-wen-na-be-ju-ben/103667-recovery-pack-for-post-tteotm
