Probably one of the most rigged lineups yet. I'm still over the moon for half of the girls though but man are they going to have a tough time experimenting with concepts. There's a small chance I'll be able to watch them perform live if they're still promoting when I'm in Korea so fingers crossed! I've actually been digging My ID is Gangnam Beauty. It has a Cheese in the Trap air to it which I really like. The male lead is... really not a great actor but other than that, the writing and plot are great. If the drama isn't your thing, I highly recommend checking out the webtoon on mangadex- it's a great read! Ooh, how's Thirty but Seventeen? It's on my to-watch list! I haven't seen it yet, but Secret Forest was supposedly up to par with the awesomeness that was Signal- maybe give that a shot! Eh, I'm quite satisfied with the lineup. Some of my favs didn't make it but some did so it's fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I saw a couple of episodes of My ID is Gangnam Beauty. The plot is kinda interesting but I really don't like the main actress ... it gets on my nerves big time .... so I let it go, too .... I find interesting Your Honor instead ... the main actors are good and I like the plot, too ... let's see how it goes on. I slowed down for Mr Sunshine. Have not watched the last few episodes. Somehow just don’t have the urge to pick it up. Loving My ID is Gangnam Beauty though. I just started few days ago and should caught up to current episode by weekend.

If the drama isn't your thing, I highly recommend checking out the webtoon on mangadex- it's a great read! The male lead actor is a bit green but I think his eyes do express his emotion and that’s good enough for me. I totally didn’t recognise him until I wiki and realised he was in The Big Hit. That was a different image so considered it good he can showcase 2 different images for now. On 9/5/2018 at 5:34 PM, kaaaaaaat said: Ooh, I didn't know this thread existed! Been watching k-dramas for almost two decades now (which is like, a hella good chunk of my life) and now it's just a part of my life lmao--if I can't find anything good to watch on the currently airing ones, I either watch old ones that I haven't watched before or rewatch one or two dramas. Currently watching Familiar Wife, Thirty but Seventeen, and Come and Hug Me. And then I'm waiting for 100 Days My Prince to start airing. I need something Signal-like to fill my life with, but I haven't seen anything close. I intend to start on Thirty but Seventeen once I caught up with My ID is Gangnam Beauty’s current episode while waiting for new episodes. Saw a few clips and the female lead sounds too “innocent” which sounds weird. I have read comment that this is in line with the characterisation so I hope it’s good. I personally like the actress in most of her dramas. I saw the trailer for 100 days and am so looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, both ....the female lead character looks like she's always afraid to speak her mind, hardly talks two words without looking in all directions like she's ready to run away any time and that's kinda annoying for me ... and the actress it's just not my cup of tea, her acting always looks kinda forced ... a matter of taste, I guess ...

ralucutzagy Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I just saw the first two episodes from Devilish Joy and I like it! I love Choi Jin Hyuk and the lead actress is cute! Let's see how it goes on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has Yang Yang and I am shallow enough that a pretty face can so help, plus he's not an awful actor but good lord, no. No. Avoid Have seen and loved! My fave of the genre as well! we'll ignore numbers here... I'm mostly kind of disappointed because they have some great novels that they could turn into good shows but it almost always goes side ways. Like the recent one, Guardian, where it started so well and in the end the author actually offered to help fix the ending by writing more due to how it imploded @kaaaaaaat something Signal like would be fab but alas. Nope. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is too innocent, which at times can be unrealistic, but I think it goes with the way she used to be when she was still 17, so it kind of made sense to me. In a way, though, both leads are innocent--she missed out on many years, and he closed himself off for years... @Yatagarasu sighhh I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually relate to Mirae's character a lot - it makes sense that she's anxious and has such poor self esteem. She went from being treated so poorly to suddenly having friends and being accepted by her classmates. I'd be terrified of losing that all too. The actress isn't super amazing or anything but I think she's doing a good job of portraying Mirae so I'm satisfied Totally agree about the cute guy thing- makes virtually any drama bearable Cha Eunwoo's visuals are actually crazy- if his acting continues to improve, he's going to have a massive career ahead of him.

Louitunes Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hello all. Anybody looking forward to the new draft of upcoming KDramas? Very interested to see what they will do with The Beauty Inside since I adored the original film. Also looking forward to The Third Charm and Terius Behind Me. Slight crush on So Ji Sub since Oh My Venus is one of my all time favs. So In Guk's drama Hundred Million Starts Falling From the Sky also looks good but don't know if I can handle the angst. Did enjoy his performance in Shopping King Louis. At the moment my first port of call is 100 Days My Prince - so cute - so far. Also watching The Ghost Detective which is a crazy mess but totally addictive. Just finished Thirty but Seventeen which was sooooo good (Oh Chan! ... Breakthrough performance there) and Your Honour which was soooo good until the last episode which felt rushed and not in keeping with the rest of the story. Oh dear ...... Bit of a rant .... Can you tell I'm a bit of a fan!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
