It's been a while, so here's my accountability #kdrama update.
On Saturday, I accidentally binge-watched four episodes of Destined With You (they kept ending in increasingly stressful cliffhangers!) and wrapped up the last two episodes Sunday morning. Did not expect to cry over this one!
Now I'm trying to get through the last couple episodes of Run On, which I have been trying to watch for two years, but I've finally hit the slow slog I was worried about. It's not bad in the least but the episode pace is glacial right now and my attention keeps drifting.
And finally, my weekly online kdrama club started our 10th drama! We've started Hospital Playlist, which I have seen and loved, and I'm so excited to experience my pals watching it for the first time!
100% agree. Both are fabulous actors - using their whole bodies - even toes pointed a certain way to convey so much!
Things they could have done better:
- The other characters who were reincarnated could have had a tighter relationship to the modern turn of events. Jae-Kyung was okay, but could have been tighter (and I like that he got a redemption arc). But Joong-Beom’s reincarnation felt a bit wasted.
- Why did she go alone at the end? WHY?! It makes no sense and was just plain dumb. Yes, she had the police called, but still. *sigh*
Some things I liked:
- The progression of Sin-Yu and Hong-Jo was nicely paced and they had the right chemistry at each stage.
- The casting was wonderful.
- The unravelling of their past lives was well-structured.
I finally finished Destined With You. This series wasn’t without its flaws, but overall I loved it and would recommend it for anyone who enjoys a modern romance with supernatural elements.
