At present protecting: Like Flowers in Sand
My Pleased Ending: This drama is so enjoyable! The twists are nonetheless out of this world, with a brand new reveal (or ten) each episode that appears to get us additional alongside in direction of the reality, however actually simply makes issues much more muddy. Jang Nara is so enjoyable right here as our indifferent and chaotic heroine — certainly, the chaos of this drama is its attraction!
Marry My Husband: I didn’t suppose I might be sticking round, to be trustworthy, however this present is aware of easy methods to hit all the proper beats and it’s been actually enjoyable. What a testomony to storytelling, too, that it could possibly have just about the identical plot and plot factors as Excellent Marriage Revenge however be telling a completely completely different story in a completely completely different approach. As for our solid, Lee Yi-kyung is so nice at what he does, Music Ha-yoon has by no means been so painfully aegyo-y despicable, and Na In-woo continues to be weirder than ever (however it’s surprisingly rising on me?).

Marry My Husband: Colour me stunned. I’m nonetheless invested on this one, however I can’t fully wrap my head across the idea that all the things — even one thing as minor as a small bump to the knee — is an unavoidable destiny until it’s stolen by or from somebody. By that logic, Ji-won shouldn’t be capable to deviate in any respect from her earlier timeline, however she and Ji-hyuk have already made a number of modifications to the timeline with out partaking in an equal change. Or am I to imagine that Ji-won’s friendship with Hee-yeon and subsequent makeover have been stolen from another person?
A Good Day to Be a Canine: I began this drama with excessive expectations, and in the long run my curiosity fizzled to some extent the place I used to be form of glad it was over.
Welcome to Samdal-ri: My curiosity on this drama will be damaged down into the next percentages: 20% invested in Sam-dal’s relationship with Yong-pil, one other 20% reserved for the romantic relationships of Sam-dal’s sisters, 10% devoted to watching Sam-dal’s profession evolve due to my very own private curiosity in images, and — lastly — a whopping 50% is simply me ready for Eun-joo to lastly get what’s coming to her. If this drama has Sam-dal take the excessive street, I’m going to be majorly upset. Eun-joo must crash and burn, and I hope it’s a spectacular prepare wreck.
Shifting: So glad I might binge watch straight by this one. I feel I might have died a sluggish loss of life every week ready for brand new episodes.

A Good Day to Be a Canine: I someway completed all of the episodes. What a seize bag of weirdness this drama has been. I can’t imagine how a lot I cherished the primary half and the way exhausting it was to take a seat by the remainder. The ultimate episode was fairly sufficient, I suppose, however what did it must do with something? This was positively a case the place it could have been higher to chop secondary storylines (perhaps the entire backstory), get in, and get out.
