Yup, on my list. I enjoyed the book :)

Yeh I'm having a little break atm. The endless repetitive k tropes can get a bit much. Got apple offer for 3 months, so watching some uk drama (Slow Horses and Bad Sisters) and waiting for Murderbot. Then will probably jump back in.

Haha, we do need marks for lightweightness. Definitely silly. But I was expecting a heavy costume drama for some reason.

I actually love a good romcom but other things seem less talked about.

Have you got a good recipe? It's on my list ..

I must've missed that etiquette lesson. Along with many others.

Most of my life I got 'you look well' if I somehow lost weight. After cancer diagnosis fat seems to equal 'you look well'. Swings n roundabouts.

No, never heard of it till today.

Ah yes, I was too. The Sassy was a bit confusing ;)

I enjoyed this more than I expected to.

Slow Horses is sooo dingy. Filthy in fact. Just like the book describes. Nice to see actual people without all the pseudo glam fillers n toxins n ridiculously expensive clothes. But I can't get the stupid subtitles to stay off :(
comment in response to post
Oh yes, Slow Horses! Loved the books. Ta v much.

Buskers!? Tell us more :)

Same.
comment in response to post
That reminds me of all the dreadful romance novels I read in my teens. 'He loved her so much he couldn't control himself'. 🤮 Disgusting isn't it?!
comment in response to post
It's so good. All those sharks in suits stalking each other, trying to get a kill. I'm not sure it's great for their companies, but that's the culture. *Shudder* #kdrama #artofnegotiation

I can wait :)

Mine's really behind this year. Maybe I didn't feed it enough.
comment in response to post
Can't like this. I agree :(
comment in response to post
I don't think I can watch that ;) I still remember KFC'd rats occasionally in the uk news 🤮 Has that stopped happening or reporting been suppressed I wonder 🤔

One localised word for you (to be avoided in my world): Rutabaga

Sttetching a bit, but the film translator in #RunOn?

I wonder what the richbros are threatening if they don't. I also wonder who puts their lips to a newly elected PM's ear and what they say. They start looking terrified and age overnight. Whatever the answers, they should be telling us all, so we can rise up or sommat, before it's too late.

Pachinko the book is great. Will have to try the drama....
comment in response to post
Ah, I only seem to watch kdramas, not films. No need for more graphic sex and violence in my life. More than enough in the news :(
comment in response to post
Don't mind some BL or FL. I liked Semantic Error, if only for the title. Thank you again, I really appreciate all your suggestions.
comment in response to post
I liked Study Group and am enjoying Undercover High School, but there's only so many adults dressed as schoolkids I can take. The bullying makes me really upset. Give me an older Hyun Bin romance any day :)
comment in response to post
Loved this, quite unusual for the sex references. I actually like the general lack of sex scenes in kdramas - they get boring quickly.
comment in response to post
Fir sime reason I didn't watch much of this. Will try again.
comment in response to post
Hah, I enjoyed this one. I like silly sometimes. I mean, it's not like all the normal romance tropes are in any way realistic.
comment in response to post
Thank you so much. Weeks of fun;)
comment in response to post
And this one :)
comment in response to post
This has been on my list forever, will move it up.
comment in response to post
Thank you! My 'to watch' list is too big. Not into serial killers; the Witch was interesting but stalky ;) Def dropped: Partners for Justice, too gory Shopaholic Louis - v silly Taxi Driver - too violent The Whirlwind, boring Twentieth Century Girl film, Yawn Vagabond - too violent. Shame
comment in response to post
Yeh, I do like a change. And strong FLs.

comment in response to post
Thank you. I have my own list. I've watched way too many over last 3 or 4 years. I can do some violence, but it does put me off. Most loved: A Korean odyssey CLOY Coffee Prince Descendants of the Sun Divorce Attorney Shin Extraordinary attorney woo Good Partner Healer Hyena Love to hate you 1/2
comment in response to post
Anything except too much violence or blood. Cartoony set pieces are ok.
comment in response to post
I like to vary what I eatch. Romcims can get very samey. Much better with some serious comedy scenes. I also like legal dramas, detectives, scifi...
comment in response to post
Yes, I found it pretty scary in places. Very different :)
comment in response to post
If you know any decent Hyun Bin dramas, let me know. Apart from CLOY of course Secret Garden was ok, but that gorrilla thing... Nope
comment in response to post
Haha, or are we projecting? This and Healer are so swoony.
