Weekend Warriors, What’s on the Watch List?

It’s Daylight Savings! Do we get more sleep or less sleep? I can never remember.


But either way we will likely feel jacked up so yay Kdrama!

Megan is obsessing over Semantic Error so I’m going to knock it out. And then I don’t know as there are five million choices so I’ll basically play spin the bottle and see where we land :)

I can deal with melodrama, but why is it all about Son Ye Jin's character? I wish the focus were more spread out between the three friends.

Well I am here to share the good news that FINALLY we have DATES for all the new dramas to hit Netflix Switzerland (aka slowest Netflix in town) .. but before you woop it up in excitement with me .. none of them are due out before April. 🤦‍♀️ Cue more sulking … In the meantime I am watching Second to Last Love which is .. meh … I mean I get it that the characters are older than the usual run of the mill KDrama leads and being older than the run of the mill Kdrama leads myself, I should be embracing it - but if I hear one more reference to them “being old” or “being past it” or “best part of life has passed me by” I will scream. The UK Guardian newspaper used to have a weekly column entitled “Not Dead Yet” where it invited readers to submit glaring examples of ageism in the media or entertainment business and I want to submit all 5 episodes of this drama so far .. I get it .. the leads are in their 40s but seriously, they are not exactly about to exit this mortal coil yet. Being in their 40s does not make them old or necessitates the writer having to make apologies for going with older than usual lead characters in every second scene. Fume fume.

Today's episode of 25 21 was so good; I am loving it. Has anyone else seen the odd bits on IG suggesting Gong Yoo might be doing a cameo as the grown up Baek YiJin in the later episodes? Because apparently he posted shots of himself watching 25 21, on IG........

39! I wonder why some people find it melodramatic - it feels so real to me. Wonder if the difference is staying bff with your high school friends? Going from 0 to 60 and back again on things big and small feels natural to me.

Today's episode of 25/21 was such a delight. I can't wait for tomorrow's! Daylight savings means it's an hour sooner YAY!

Lauren Cohen

SAME. But I'm only on episode 3 at the moment. I would imagine I'll finish this by tonight though. :)

Becky

I hope we will start to see full-length BL k-dramas. Does anyone know of any that exist already?

Like many of you, watching 25/21, Forecasting, 39, and getting ready to start Business Proposal. Just finished Semantic Error and loved. I'm getting ready to watch a 2-hour drama (originally a 12-part web drama) from 2018 starring Na Inwoo. Don't know much about it yet but it seems to be getting good reviews from fans for focusing on feminism with sensitivity. The English title is It's Okay to be Sensitive and it's on YouTube with English subs: https://youtu.be/JjgNT-BF30A. Have a great weekend!

Ya’ll I am obsessed with Semantic Error…it’s everything I love. I adore it (Lia)

Megan Erickson

This is Megan. I’m obsessed with Business Proposal, loving 2521 even though I’m nervous for heartbreak, and finished the phenomenal Semantic Error (this deserved to be a full-length drama!) Then last night I started Military Prosecutor Doberman to support my bae Ahn Bo Hyun and I’m VERY into it. I love when ABH plays complicated characters and I don’t know how he looks taller in ever drama but he does.

Megan Erickson

Watched 7 First Kisses on your recommendation. Very nice

Sadhana Sharma

Yep feel the same about 25/21!!

Sarah @afternoonaasks

I am rewatching Sungkyunkwon Scandal. Have been revisiting a lot of my old favorites lately - so much fun! Took a break from All of Us Are Dead bc it didn't really grab me. Considering watching Happiness instead. Put Semantic Error on my watchlist, very excited to see it soon. Still waiting for 25/21 and 39 to finish before I start.

Grace

I’ve started Semantic Error and love it so far - it’s my first BL and I feel like the leads have such great chemistry! I keep getting more and more worried about how 25/21 is going to end… almost enough to make me want to stop watching it until the final episodes are out so I can decide if I want to endure the heartbreak!!!
