One of my favourite couples of all time

Sadly, I lasted 17 mins and 26 secs. I was hoping for something a bit more engaging :)

Yes, her father is an absolute shocker. He’s not even grateful with what he has with them now. He’s lucky the girls haven’t changed the locks to their apartment. To stand by his daughters he would need to stand up to his wife. That being said, he clearly has a soft spot for So Dam.

Both dads are jerks and extremely selfish. Both had an opportunity with the latest revelation to embrace So Yu, but yet again failed to do so. I’m sure she will have the last “laugh” though :)

I am finding now that the Dad’s ongoing reaction to So Yu is just way too much. Most normal people (lol - this lot aren’t normal), wouldn’t keep going on the way he does even if they still were not able to appreciate what a lovely person So Yu really is.

Either we will have a miracle ending or not. However, at this point it’s not looking too miraculous.

It’s a great show. It has a bit of everything in it and I like how the bad guys really don’t understand how Inspector Jo thinks and goes about his work - they can’t really pin him down for too long!

Well, I thought I Hate You Juliet was okay. It was clearly a drama where the older actors were willing to help out on a young person’s project. Sure, it seemed to lose its way at times, and it was disjointed here and there, but it was a nice show.

Yes, I think you have described what has happened to President Kang quite well. It would seem bank misconduct is a hot topic and was the subject of a royal commission in my country that concluded recently. The banks here started making changes to their practices long before the final report was handed down.

I did see the trailer for Default somewhere along the way and thought to myself that I would watch it sometime.

Thank you for pointing out the two up and coming Japanese shows. They look interesting as well :)

At the end of Ep 22 and The Banker continues to be very good viewing. I’m not so sure about the validity of how the Audit Office is being treated (the level of interference would normally see criminal proceedings undertaken) still it makes for compelling viewing. Good machinations and plotting by the schemers and the question still remains: “what is President Kang’s real objective?”

A little charmer that’s worth 45 minutes of your time.

Yes, they are the main couple and I think they are really good together. It looks like they just might reconcile - at least they are on the same page for now.

It was worth watching the last two episodes alone just for the campaign supporters dance routines...

I have to say at the halfway point, Inspector Jo has become my favourite watch at the moment. The last two episodes were fabulous with entertaining and clever misdirection along with wonderful interactions (especially our secondary couple) and perfectly played takedowns.

Despite my misgivings, I watched the final episode. It was a fitting conclusion and made up for some of my disappointment with the more recent episodes. Nana continued to impress and the others continued strongly. What this drama could have been :)

I enjoy even those little moments like when Si Tu Mo says to Gu Wei Yi “take your medicine” and he does without question, or when she tries to listen in on his conversations. Even when they are at cross purposes, they seem to work things through. The bandaid on Circle was a nice touch. Yes, Fu Pei is a waste of space, but hopefully he has a meaningful relationship with Si Tu Mo’s friend.

At the end of Ep 10 and I can still say I am enjoying From Survivor to Healer very much. Things are unfolding at a nice pace. Even though Chen Yi Fan seems a bit over the top at times, he has a pleasant side to him and I’m sure his idiocy will disappear at some point. It’s nice to watch a drama without the male leads being obnoxious or nasty towards the female lead. It’s also nice for there to be enough space for Yan Shun Ren and Sun Shu to reconnect.

I have to agree totally here. I’m even at the point of not bothering with the final episode. Another example of good acting wasted on a fizz out script.

Enjoy the ride because this show is a blast!

All 151 episodes completed. I can’t speak highly enough of Manpuku. A classy show from the start to the finish.

I really like what you had to say here. My sentiments exactly re a timeline reset and it was a great cast wasted in the end. We had such an interesting premise happening that included a very special relationship between our lead pair, along with other relationships/friendships that were quite different and enjoyable to watch. It’s seems implausible to me that HSJ didn’t have more fire power earlier on as a shaman. The story was building up that way, then it changed so dramatically. Anyway, Possessed is proof that keeping your fingers crossed when watching a show and hoping for a better outcome just doesn’t work :)

Eps 13 & 14 were hysterical. The interaction between KMY and PHJ in ep 13 was flawless
