I want to take the opportunity to thank all my regular readers for your continuing support the past couple of years. For those who have taken the time to subscribe a very special thank you. Hope you’re enjoying a restive break… if you’re having one.
Here’s hoping for more consistency coming out of K dramaland in 2023. For all our sakes.
What dramas are you currently watching and what are you looking forward to?
Hello Lily! Happy new year. Wishing you and loved ones many blessings filled with compassion and kindness. I haven't been able to watch any K or C dramas, but I recently caught WEDNESDAY and am venturing into HIS DARK MATERIALS. Have you seen either of those series?
I loved "Wednesday". It was a good series. As for "His Dark Materials", I loved the trilogy books (fantasy sci Fi) as a high schooler, even though the novels were sad too. So far the show is doing great bringing the story to life on screen. You might enjoy both of the series with your family.
Happy New Year! "The Glory" on Netflix is at the top of my list. I'm really want to see how Song Hye Kyo does in a role that is much darker and sinister than her usual roles. I've also heard some comparisons being made to "Eve," so I'm curious to see how this show executes a similar premise.
For all his flaws, I'd far deep into Alchemy of souls part 2, and I'm not ready to be expelled from this world after next weekend.
I'll console myself with the intensity of The confidence. This cdrama is not what I'd call a good drama (but is it really different from the multitude of CEO machinations and trope recycling?) but I am a captive of Peng Guan Ying.
Hello! You might like "Unexpected Falling" ... same leads and several supporting cast members too. They also dropped a lot of easter eggs in there for you to find, and I loved the chemistry and slow burn romance.
I demur my lack of willpower to resist the cliffhangers, for the reducing effect on my night (I'm glad that the slight increase of difficulty to access will step on the brake as I'll reach the limit of free eps on viki tonight).
On new year's eve, I watched The Glory, and I feel satisfied to watch Song Hye Kyo come back. Not only SHK but I think this drama is well written & well executed by all the casts and also great directing. Have been reading many positive reviews about this, but tbh this is a dark theme drama. I got shocked by the brutality they show in the first episode but overall it's really good to watch.

No, I haven't. I've seen Wednesday advertised on Netflix but I haven't heard of His Dark Materials. Any good?

I will ask the "kids" if they're interested. We watched Del Toro's Pinocchio the other day.

I really want to see that too. I haven't seen Eve.
I just started "The Glory" and CW: the school violence is graphic and disturbing.
Can't be worse than The King of Pigs.
I have not seen that one!
Happy New Year !

Thanks ! I watched Unexpected falling before The confidence... The easter eggs work in reverse too. Such slow but fierce burning.
I'm not over the music either, particularly the ending song.
Yes! I love the OST, too!
I'm really enjoying the C drama Unchained Love. It's a hoot.
Your recap is tempting... misunderstanding and banters generate good amusement.
It's a lot of fun. You won't regret it.
That's indeed a lot of fun.

Wishing for a great year for all of us

I hope you could also review The Glory.
Hello dear.
I thought that since they were dividing up the show I would wait. But I'll definitely take a look.
