I watched many more dramas this year than I did the previous years. Maybe it’s because I didn’t find the music fandom too appealing so I turned to the drama fandom. Whatever the reason, I also ended up recapping two dramas and let me tell ya, it was like writing two 5000+ word papers every single week for two/three months, and the papers were due on consecutive days, always.

WHAT THE HELL.

The dramas I managed to finish in their entirety: Boys Over Flowers, You’re Beautiful, Brilliant Legacy, Triple, and an oldie, The Devil/Mawang.

The dramas that I tried to watch, but had to drop out of sheer boredom/ludicrousness: Japanese: Code Blue and Maou (remake of Mawang). Korean: Swallow the Sun, Hot-Blooded Salesman, and Partner.

The dramas I’m in the process of watching: Will it Snow for Christmas? and Black & White.

God said “Let there be light!” And there were stars a-plenty. God said, “Let Taekyung be told!” And Taekyung got told.

God said, “It shall be good.”

And it was good.

“You’re Beautiful,” I was going to marry you. You were the best I’d ever met. Funny, well-articulated, realistic, sensible, dependable. Sure, there were some things about you that were inevitable given the family you came from — the love rectangle, the mommy problems, the second male cousin of yours who took forever to get a sentence out — but I loved you regardless. Why did you have to break my heart and my brain by doing what you did in episode 15? And so close to the end of what could’ve been a hilarious and hassle-free courtship!

I have reached a boiling point with Minam. I can’t tolerate her any longer. Why does this ALWAYS happen with K-dramas?! When will I find the best, sickest, bravest, most-badass, invincible female lead ever and will they be able to stay consistent even in the face of love?! Minam ain’t it, that’s for sure.

As for Jeremy, all I have for him is a big question mark.

Well, you win some, you lose some.

I’ve never been this miserable over a second lead for this long, ever. Just when I thought the writers have exhausted their emotional capacity to shaft Shinwoo repeatedly in the gut, they come up with 68 new ways to mercilessly torment him. I. NEVER! So indignant on his behalf right now.

It’s been a long while since these photos have come out but I’m still being a big weenie about them. (Ie: buying a copy of the magazine, making virtual wallpapers out of the images, etc etc.)

Thank god two of them are already models and the third looks good doing anything.

Curse my traitorous fingers and verbally diarrhetic mind, these recaps are getting longer and longer by the week…

The 11th episode on the 11th day of the 11th month… (And this post seemingly went up at 1:11. What are the chances!)

The characters seem to be changing a bit-by-bit as the episodes proceed. It’s a nice that the writers don’t have them change in order to create more obstacles. I enjoyed Shinwoo’s snark, Jeremy’s huge burst of honesty, and Minam’s ability to TALK BACK. Phew!

Oh and I totally fail at giving actual “brief rundowns” so from now on these are just going to be recaps/summaries, albeit less detailed than I have done for “Boys Over Flowers.”

We didn’t forget that Jang Geun Seok and Park Shin Hye did this already, did we? ;)

Hold on, let me get it out of my system:

DAEBAK. JEEJHUS. HOLY MOLY.

This episode all of a sudden got crazy. There are a ton of issues that are really interesting to me, issues that go way beyond being mere obstacles in the plot — such as the problems of bullying and male territoriality. The sudden seriousness of the episode also made alarm bells go off in my head because the Hong Sisters did that in their last drama Hong Gil Dong as well, but I think the overarching theme in this drama is a lot less prone to the sudden severity that maybe a more history-based HGD is.

With that said, bring it on!
