Weekend Watch

Who is watching Little Women or Narco Saints? Thoughts? What else is on your screen?


I’m getting through Cafe Minamdang and watching a Thai BL on IQIYI called Up In The Air which is maybe not the most amazing plot ever but the characters have my whole heart. I’m about to start All of Us Our Dead and very excited because apparently I like zombies now and Love in Contract is almossssssst here.

It’s starting to feel a bit more like autumn and I’m here for it. Are you Team Pumpkin Spice Latte or not. I used to be and now I’m more ambivalent.

DEFINITELY NOT a PSL person. It's too sweet for me, and I'm also a tea gal. But no disrespect to you PSL folks out there. I'm not trying to yuck your yum. I'm starting Mr. Sunshine after a long pause due to a friend visiting. I'm going to start Youth MT for light-heartedness.

Very grateful for KDramas, the country (UK) has gone slightly mad these 2 weeks - a friend called it the grief police - no dissent allowed. Am looking forward to normality returning tomorrow. I’m all caught up on If you wish upon me and now I have to wait for episodes 😭

Ooo excited for you that you’ll finish Goblin! If you need to discuss after we’re all here for you!!

I definitely want to watch young actors retreat. It looks really fun and cute. ... I enjoyed Kings Affection, but I can see that it won't be everyone's thing. I think it was my first joseon period kdrama so the novelty of that was interesting to me. And Rowoon is complete sweetness.

I've been firmly turned off flavoured lattes ever since the summer of 07 when a banana flavoured latte from Starbucks didn't agree with me. 🤢 no PSL for me. strictly team cappuccino over here. ... As for what I'm watching, Goblin has me in it's grips. Loving it! No wasted characters or storylines. I'm invested in each and every character on the show! The bromance between the goblin and the reaper was so cute and I didn't expect it going into the show. ... 4 episodes left for me and as today is a public holiday in the UK I just might finish it today!

I can see why. #dongmaeforever

The more pumpkin anything the better imho. Yum. Though back when pumpkin spice lattes were novel was a nice time; the flavoring is overdone now, isn’t it? I’m still all in on LBFAD, though, like others, the FL’s voice and infantalized behavior drove me to fast forward through a lot of her early scenes…right after I posted about the show here with you folks. Sigh. I just got so swept up in the romantic premise, you guys, because good romantic kdramas have been rare in 2022…so I was probably over enthusiastic…😅. Apologies if anyone feels wronged over my recommendation. Otherwise I’m only watching Psychopath Diary, which isn’t very good. Time to check out my watch lists and start something new!

Totally with you on the ending of True Beauty. I don’t want to say too much, but just… why?!

I am loving Young Actors Retreat. Wish I didn’t have to wait a week for a new episode. It’s jam packed with adorableness from all my favorites. Teams are made up with cast members from Itaewon Class, Sound of Magic and Love in the moonlight. Still getting through Cafe Minamdang and truly am amazed by SIG he is the best! Havin trouble staying connected to Kings Affection, not sure if I can finish it.Anyone, is it worth it?? And I Love pumpkin spice and all things Autumn in New England

PSL is too sweet for me but Dunkin's pumpkin cream cold brew is delightful. I am watching Little Women and liking it. Comparing it to the book is my favorite part, so different but I can still find the original feeling of the story.

I loved You Make Me Dance!

I’m also watching Love in the Air and a few other BL weeklies. My mom loved My Liberation Notes and wants me to watch so we can discuss- but I keep getting distracted. I am team PSL all the way but always get half sweet. Like Becky I also want all the PS flavored things. I just finished True Beauty and really enjoyed it but was frustrated by the ending.

I'm watching so much right now, including Little Women and waiting for my spouse to watch Narco Saints with me. I'm enjoying the suspense/ mystery aspect of Little Women, and it's so stylish. Some of the character actions make no sense, but I guess that's to be expected. For some reason, it feels more generically Netflix to me - maybe it's the pacing? I also am enjoying the shorter episodes and low angst of Once Upon a Small Town. But even better, looking up info on the cast led me to a delightful, super short (as in 12-15 min episodes, 8 episodes all together) web series on Viki called "You Make Me Dance" which features the ML as a dancer whose loan shark moves in with him. I'm also delighting in the camaraderie and fun of the "Young Actors Workshop".

I'm going to watch Little Women once all episodes are out, but probably not Narco Saints. Currently keeping up with If You Wish Upon Me and also watching Run On for the first time. I can tell it's not gonna be one of my favs but I'm still enjoying it. As for PSL.... well, I work for Starbucks in the corporate office so the beginning of this season means things get super busy for me! But I do love PSL... my personal fav is iced PSL with pumpkin cream cold foam on top. *chefs kiss*
