@JillsJoy Are you rewatching Enigma now/soon or is that from last year? Would you consider making a dreamwidth account and joining my group there to talk about it? You could just rewrite some of your fedi posts.
Please at least notice your influence in how I'm trying to sell the series ;)

@emmaaum I watched the first episode again with Spouse this week.

@whoosh I just finished l:
- Best Choice Ever (CDrama).

Iโ€™m currently watching:
- My Boss (CDrama)
- King the Land (KDrama)
- Mr Bad (CDrama)
- Gyeongseong Creature (KDrama).

I loved Best Choice Ever. Iโ€™m struggling a little with Mr Bad after a strong start. The others are all great.

@jcurries @whoosh
Killer Paradox was really interesting, quite different and it was also short.
Misty is perfection!
Sorry to miss you in Tale of Nokdu. I'll be off camping for the next 4 weeks so probably won't be able to do Friday/Saturday night watchparty. Going out to do IRL things is probably more fun, most times!
Tomorrow is also perfection!! However, some episodes are super-intense so it's not an easy one to binge.
I loved Queen of Tears but those long episodes are challenging.

I need to pick a couple on my never-ending watchlist. Thinking about Lovely Runner and Tomorrow but I might change my mind based on the mood of the moment.
Atypical Family intrigues me too.

I'm also watching the k-pop survival show Girls On Fire.

@whoosh currently uninspired to start anything (maybe the obsession is finally withering?)

Recently finished Queen of Tears and Wedding impossible
Looking for a feel-good, yet not too predictable story.

@umienne

Scanning through my completed list, here are some that I remember being feel good without being too predictable:

- Abyss (body switching confusion is possible)
- Branding in Seongsu
- Fight for My Way (main romance might be a little predictable, but other storylines are different)
- Healer
- Her Private Life (some common tropes, but some unexpected actions make it fun)
- Hit the Spot (a little racy fun & very different)
- Love to Hate You (very fun with a strong woman lead)
- Lovestruck in the City (unexpected actions from leads, very different format)
- Witch's Romance (an older woman love interest makes for a bit of crazy)

#kDrama

@whoosh uuuuuh, some of them are new to me, thanks!!

@umienne @whoosh I'd like to add:
May I help you?
Reply 1988
Reply 1997
High Society
Yumi's Cells

To the list of feel-good #kdramas with an not-so-predictable romance

#kdrama

@s1m0n4 ๋„ˆ๋ฌด ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค!
@whoosh @umienne Healer and Lovestruck were both great shows for me. #CurrentlyAiring fun includes #LovelyRunner and #AtypicalFamily. I loved QOT but a lot of folks found it heavy and the episodes were especially long and action-packed.
@EllenInEdmonton @whoosh I have seen clips of Atypical Family and likely will watch it at some point.
Lovestruck is one of my all time favourites.
I found QoT a bit... cumbersome at times, but the extremely good looking cast saved it.
@whoosh working through your list I have just finished Witch's Romance, what a truly delightful 16hours I spent watching this drama!! Thank you so much for the recommendation, it hit the spot (sic!) so well!!

@umienne

So glad you liked it! I thought it was a fun one.

#kDrama #WitchsRomance

@whoosh @umienne Have you seen the original TW, My Queen? Vastly superior in my opinion, in part because they didn't turn the FL into a giggling squeamishly virginal 40 year old when things got serious, as the K remake did.

@ronsboy67 @umienne

Aside from 1 J-drama & 2 C-dramas, I have only watched Korean. I'm am working on learning Korean so it's much more "profitable" for me to spend my time hearing Korean.

Maybe someday I'll move on from my Korea obsession.

I'll add this to my Plan to Watch (eventually) list.

#kDrama

@whoosh @umienne That's commendable commitment I have a backlog of Italian movies and TV that I should be watching for the same reason, thanks for the motivation ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘
@ronsboy67 not yet but it goes onto my list asap. honestly, I was as bit disappointed in how prude they portrayed the FL in later episodes given that steamy scene on equal footing in ep 2. (Wandering hands SHOWN on Korean television, my eyes!!!)
@umienne Yes, it was precisely the promising start to Witch's Romance that made its final few episodes such a disappointment to me ๐Ÿ˜ข

@umienne @whoosh

If you can access them, here are a few you might want to try, if you haven't already
Miss Korea (Lee Seon Kyun was ML)
Queen In-Hyun's Man
Run On
City Hall
My Only Love Song
Splash Splash Love
Coffee Prince
I Hear Your Voice
Fanletter, Please (a nice bit of meta,Choi Sooyoung as FL)
Fated to Love You (K remake)

As for the "withering obsession", fret not! It took me 6 months to complete 100 #KDramas when I started in May 2013, 10.5 YEARS to complete the next 200 ๐Ÿ˜€

@ronsboy67 @umienne

On that list, I've only seen "Fated to Love You" and enjoyed it. I'll have to add the others to my PlanToWatch! Thanks.

#kDrama

@ronsboy67 @umienne

Oh, and "Run On" which I also liked, but I liked the 2nd couple more.

#kDrama

@ronsboy67 @umienne

Added all those to my Plan-To-Watch list. Now I have an even 100 shows that I plan to watch!!

#kDrama

@whoosh @umienne That happens a lot for me, too. I rewatched Miss Korea fot the 2nd pair and there's a fun second pair in My Only Love Song too. ๐Ÿ˜€

City Hall was one of my "first 100" and I still absolutely LOVE it's theme song. I remember thinking "I know Korean's an agglutinative language, so I'm guessing the "๋ฉด" affix I'm hearing A LOT affix conveys the idea of "if" ๐Ÿ˜‚

@whoosh

I'm watching Soundtrack #2 (so far not liking the characters much, at least the production is still pretty nice), and finished kinda recently Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Angels Fall Sometimes (c-drama, very unique and incredibly sad theme, with which it dealt in a nice and responsible way)

I'm super slow, if I'm not liking the show I won't rush, and if I am, I'll also take my time to enjoy more the company of those characters ๐Ÿ˜†Only when there's mystery I get curious and go faster๐Ÿ˜†
