On The Bean Chaff of My Life Dec 28, 2017
I watched this in October 2017 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The occasional musical numbers are deliciously quirky. It's now a tad dated, but with patience still very much worth watching. Also, it takes place over 12 years and you pick up a bit of a history lesson about Korea during those years.

Also, in this we see •https://mydramalist.com/people/3833-so-yoo-jin at age 22; in •https://mydramalist.com/16220-five-enough we see her at at 35.

"Stalker story line" mentioned in a spoiler comment? I just didn't see it that way, at all. But that's just me, judge for yourself.

Bean Chaff is here •https://watchasian.co/drama-detail/bean-chaff-of-my-life @ 360 & 480;
and here •https://ondramanice.io/drama/bean-chaff-of-my-life-detail @ 360.
And maybe elsewhere. I'd really like to find it at 720p or 1080p. Anyone...? Anyone...? Bueller...?

Title Oh! My Lady
I couldn't really understand the ending when he asked her to marry him. When did they fall in love can someone…
When did they fall in love?

It begins in episode 3 @53:36, her looking at him surreptitiously.
Then in episode 6 @53:42, a kiss.
Then in episode 15 @38:33, this double-meaning, double-take dialogue:

Yu-Ra: But... Min Woo. Can I ask you about just one thing? What's going on between you and Yoon Gae Hwa? Is it sympathy you feel or commiseration for both of you bringing up kids by yourselves? Nothing's going on between you, right?

Min Woo: No.

Yu-Ra: No? What are you saying "no" to?

Min Woo: I don't think nothing's going on between us.

At its essence, it is the story of two families, one rich and one poor, each with, it turns out, three children, and how those two families meet, interact, and are changed. Nothing turns out as planned.

At the end, maybe some of them will know more about themselves than they did at the beginning. That's all the gods will allow us.

On Queen's Classroom Dec 16, 2017
Watching episode 1 for the second time I noticed something that whizzed by me the first time:

Ha na's pencils are broken, but in such a way that it's not apparent they are broken until she tries to use them to take the test. Likewise, it's not obvious that the lead in the mechanical pencil is broken until she tries to write with it. Ha na inadvertently swept her pencil case off her desk onto the floor when Oh Dong-Goo (annoying boy) startled her. And we, and she, and the other students, assume the pencils were broken then.

But were they?

When the teacher enters the classroom for the first time, when all the students are in the auditorium, the teacher walks the aisles of the empty classroom (Episode 1, Part 1, begin at 12:33). At one point the teacher partially picks up Ha na's pencil case (begin at 13:17)--and then the scene cuts to the auditorium. We don't see or know for sure if the teacher picked up the pencil case, or if the teacher broke Ha na's pencils.

Maybe she did, maybe she didn't, we may never know, but what other reason could there be for that scene?

And if the teacher did break the pencils, was it a random act, or did she already know it was Ha na's desk and pencil case? --- --- And does that classroom really not have a pencil sharpener?

Here's the significance, I just learned, of the red thread in this wonderful kdrama.

Red Thread of Marriage ... Often, in Japanese and Korean culture, it is thought to be tied around the little finger.

Added 2023-08-06 >> It's about my third time watching it over several years. And I just noticed: it's filmed in 2006 and the background music sometimes has snippets of hip-hop in it. Cool!
