I know my Woomi heart is shattered but...Look at the Parallel world crumbs lol. Some Snippets from Blue Dragon Series Awards.
Kim Go Eun Won Best Actress Award for YumisCells
Woomi Crumbs lol...
Spoiler-

I will start from the first to latest one lol.
My introduction to Superhumans was Spiderman <Tobey McGuire> , also I feel it is his version of Spidey that reignited the craze of superhero movies in US and spread Globally. I could never really love the other spidey's ever despite them having some better adaptations as well lol.
My Next fav are not included in list lol.
Superheros:
Dr. Strange, because it had roots nearby where I live and it was just so mystical and somewhat related to our own energy manipulation and vibes which I really do believe exist. So Dr Strange still wins lol(it does also give me Kung Fu panda vibes haha). But I feel his movies are rushed .
My Latest favorite is something I wished they would have come up with when I was younger, Disney/MCU's Kamala Khan as Ms Marvel. Growing up somehow we will made to think superheros are always based in US. Ms Marvel felt more real than ever , if only we had a Asian SUPERHEROINE as a kid I could relate to craze more, I just feel out of the league at this age when I try to go woah wosh <Extraordinarywoo style> on her lol.
My Anti Heros/Villans
Joker and Scarlet Witch...They were relatable to some extent in their selfishness...often superheros want to save the world, and Villain/Anti Heros want to save themselves from the craziness called the World itself. So I call them Anti heros lol.

I totally agree. I hope the writers didn't bring Woong back just to push Yumi back into Babi's arms. That would be too cruel to any Woomi lover. To this day I cannot rewatch season 1 because of the ending. I only watched season 2 after reading some reviews and only since Woong made an appearance.
It was great to see Woong doing well but his love cell was a wreck...lol. Unlike Babi who couldn't keep boundaries, Woong automatically made up his mind to not see or contact Yumi knowing she has a boyfriend. He anonymously bought all her books to give her sales a boost. He has kept her image in his heart deeply shut away and protected.
That's what you call unconditional love. Its been 2 years since their breakup and for what we know he hasn't had another relationship and Sae Yi has even moved on with a boyfriend. I hope the writers do us Woomi lovers justice and slowly bring them back together after really talking about the mistakes that were made the 1st time around. I want them to communicate better and more often. I want them to support one another and continue on their trajectory to success in work and their relationship.
I loved this series.....so please writer don't disappoint me again.
Amen to whatever you said, I too hope to the twisted happy ending is Woomi...

omg thank You @agenth Whale Epiphanies are the Best moment along with when WyW argues with her Boss lol..

EP 9-10
Dont even want to talk about Babi, Emotional cheating is cheating that is it. <JY acting superb though>
Woong is back as hot shot CEO and still dumb balbbering idiot in front of Yumi, why did thr writers bring him back if you want to break Woomi hearts again
There is no S3 announcement nor Sonrook in the show, only 4 episodes are left what are the makers thinking. Babi is not fleshed out his cells have more time in the opening sequence than in the show itself. Also Dude Babi legit makes me angry
but Woong and Yumi deliberate fated meet is giving me anxiety Please get them back together if not keep it an open ending where Yumi just focusses on her career , haishh...anxiety 101 ...Woong woong dumb Woong...

I don't see a particular reason why it would fail ratings wise on cable tv though
I am not sure but maybe Disney Musical isnt the exact type of Drama Genre National TV Airs there, is it? Cable TV are mixed audience , TSOM I felt targeted more on younger audience, it would have suffered on TV imho as a few of them stated. Also this show was mostly without PPLs, but on TV PPLs are needed to garner investment I believe , so yeah that would ruin the free flow as well. Sort of like Imagine Magician Holding a KFC while talking to his parrot...:)

Had this been a movie it would earn accolades, I am not sure if this is getting noticed as much as it should. The first episode was comedy tragedy fun and very informative and uniquely quirky also Heartfelt.
Side Note : I know people expect everyone to treat Our main character WYW with care and respect but some characters reactions were expected, no body is perfect and it does take time to adapt. So as we should give benefit of doubt to a extraordinary person so should we let the seemingly Normal person adapt too...
Also is there a side story with her dad and the Law Firm's CEO Omo...Nepotism twist will lead to too much twist then....interesting..

Count me in, I've watched dramas because of the OSTs and BGMs
Lol True,
Intially I got annoyed by Goblin's first 20 minutes, what made me stay was the last Score <Heize Round and Round>
My Girl was such a Troop story but the OST Wow <Mermaid who loved the shark anyone>?>
Legend of the Blue Sea was almost too close to MLFAS the difference was LOTBS had an all round better OST and MLFAS was new....
I started my cdrama journey bcuz of OSTs of TMOPB and AOL lmao...
Also Bloody Romance's OST almost made me watch it lol.
Kdrama I feel especially Saeguk I dont know why you need a Jazz Hip Hop- ish Modern OST when you can have a soulful music, it essentially disrupts the mood. I usually stay away from Saeguk because of that very reason they dont match up to the OST I want whilst watching it.
Comment might be controversial but Scarlet Heart v/s BBJX <Chinese version> the OST and mood differed hugely...they were essentially the same story so BBJX for me won over Scarlet Heart.
OST plays a Huge part in watching experience

As someone that grew up watching all major Asian dramas: Chinese, Thai, Indian, Japanese, and Korean — if you watch long enough - you’ll start to get realllllllly picky. It seems creatively - they hit a ceiling and it takes a year or so before something really new, innovative comes along. What I do personally is to take a break and switch over to another one while a new series may catch my interest.
I mostly agree here, you do start to get picky Lol.
But keeping that aside, I do get bored of kdramas, 2021/22 Content is better than 2020 FOR SURE.
What happened in 2020 was the Return of Hallyu Men and that led Netflix and other platforms to bet on their stardom and fandom rather than concentrating on the story itself. Also yes Genre Repetition.
A Big turndown for me happens because of :
- BGM and lack of chemistry between the actors.
- Often times in Modern drama The ML FL just are In love like makes no sense why <Doom At Your Service, TONT, Lovers of the Red Sky, TKEM> to name a few, I am ok fall in love or show the audience that you have to but the main Plot goes down the drain bcuz of that I feel. They HAF TO BE the Endgame hence They are in love
- insertion of random Love scenes not at all needed in the show...I mean...
- Also the chemistry and situations aren't half as good like older kdramas had. <My Girl had chemistry and its major point was the OST, Coffee Prince had chemistry, MLFAS Had chemistry with cliche troop, Heirs had the Actors playing teens and their interpersonal chemistry worked, Dream High had the story and the SML/ML characterization was good.>
- Older kdramas focused on 40-60 Love story to Story now a days its 80:20 Love Story to Story which annoys me. Those were the ones in 2020/2021 which made me mad lol.
Also Fantasy took a big dive in 2021...
- TONT - First half was so good, the moment they made the villain go on the redemption arc and topped the Love part, it went downhill and was anti-climatic
- LOTRS - I still dont know why they were in love, the buildup was not believable.
Now 2021 and 2022 had Good Dramas with STORYLINE. Most of them were Slice of Love still Lol.
- Hospital Playlist..How you do Unit Stories and Main Story brilliantly, also Break into seasons and get a successful one too < S1 was still better lol>
- Mr Queen ... How to do Saeguk+Comedy and Own it ...
- Our Blues....EXCELLENT and Deep
- Home Town Chacha Cha,,..did not have the most novel story but the Interpersonal Chemistry and Execution Worked
- Pachinko...STORY and Content is the BOSS!
- Its Ok not to be OK ...You can be famous yet be interesting..again the Love story and CP wasn't the main focus to loose the Plot.
- 25/21 ...Reminiscent of Reply 88 and 94 lol
- Yumis Cells S1 ;,,,,How a slow show can still work if you had chemistry and flow..S2 however is Not the same it lacks there big time...
My love with Kdrama is convoluted it seems lol.

Yumi Cells 2 First Half Semi Long Review.--Rating 8/10
First of all this one is far far better paced than S1 was, Thank You!
The Cells animation is better as well.
Yu Babi is charismatic and near perfect How?
Woong is making me cry and damn how handsomely pathetic is he.
I feel Yumi is not 100% genuine when it comes to Babi tbh.
First because I think she got into the relationship very early and it was more of a rebound urge or to not let that chance go away for a HEA. She was not fully over Woong. Also her Love Cell as potrayed literally had to listen to fanclub and reasonings , it was not let's say genuine attraction/interest, it was Like Hey I am getting a Good apartment at cheaper rate bcuz I can't afford the Expensive one , it will turn out good. But I liked how the Woong thing was dealt with clear boundaries and that last guilt clarification.
Wung Oh Wung , if Only you Just TALKED and listened at the right time. Pride is a Wall even Love can't climb. Your Pride cost you your most prized Possession. I get the desperation with which he asked Saeyi for a Job at her company, but even if Yumi and Wung could potentially sort it out , Saeyi's presence would never let them live properly. Also He still does not get the clue he is dumb. But this was his first relationship I think..from S1 itself it was known he isnt the end game but his face and the chemistry between the two far far exceeds any other stuff in this show. EP 5 was just heartbreaking...
His and Yumi's story is more relatable v/s Her and BB's
Babi is smooth, straightforward, Can read Yumi better and that is a gift because He also Acts on the right time. Ideal people Like him rarely exist! So I feel he is superficial to some extent so that makes it harder for me to connect with him as a character. JY's acting is superb as Babi, but I feel the chemistry between him and KGE is awkward to some extent and they dont feel believable enough like her and ABH did. Call it the character sketch , their chemistry but something just does not hit right. So BB/YM connection for me lacks , I still prefer her and WG as a chemistry CP. The most chemistry I see with BB/YM is when they makeout but that too is lusty not feel in love and lusty so yeah ...
The Cells this season are far more expressive and active...also BB's cells are more interesting than WG cuz he still has a mystery factor to him, but maybe as Shy cell said Doesn't he have even 1 single flaw? That will make any partner insecure.That essentially is what makes Yumi overthink to the point that we were in a self cooked Makhajang for good 20 minutes of EP 6 while below happend which was hillarious
Overthinker Yumi - Enacting as BB's dad splashing water on her face while chiding her. Detective Cell- I think the writer cell is far better suited as a Drama Scriptwriter than Novel Writer!
The dialoges are smarter and feelings with Wung hit hardest! But Wung is catastrophically DUMB. YM and WG chemistry is so on point, her settings boundaries with him scene had 100x the more power to make their team cry than BB and Her flirting. It Hurttsssssss..But BB is a healthy choice for Mind, so it is what it is.
Coming to fanclub introduction..Surprise with Gong YOO FANCLUB haha also the Fan and ANti fan Episode was so on point for any Asian Drama fan lmao....The ANti fans were CP fans and Fans were solely BB fans lol...<Ref : a B/G CP fan is mostly the girl's fandom not the Boy's Solo fan lol>
Lets see what Second half has in store for us...

First Impressions Jinxed At First EP 1-4
A very Fun and enjoyable show...venturing at times into Dark Fantasy.
How I ended up watching it? Our blues ended and this randomly started playing in background also I checked the ratings lol...and I have seen the ML in Mr Queen so I just gave it a shot.
Pros : Chemistry and the FML's acting won me over, also realized she is from a KPOP group and looks completely differnt in real life lmao..
The SML looks like young Gong Yoo , so I refer his and FML's storyline as the Young Goblin still trying to woo his to be wife.
As for ML, he is fun and his reactions are prompt , like he did not ask for anything yet somehow he got wrapped into wicked witches and the controversies...
Coming to story : I am super confused who's the dad and who did Mi su really love? Also doesn't she hail from a Royal Line? and Why does none of the Girls in her family have a son ? But the gentle twist of the Chairman who is a Lamb in a Wolf's clothing is interesting. But FL's Mom carrying someone else's kid , loving someone, reporting to someone else is confusing as of now.
SML also like the ML has been thrown into this situation but as of now he still respects everyone, dunno further tbh. If I had my way I would make him interested in his now EX fiance , cuz she is more likely to talk to him than Seul Bi at this point lol.
The FL , at first didnt wow me tbh but as I keep watching her she is Good, her character I feel draws inspiration from Shim Cheong though <Legend of the Blue Sea>, infact a heck lot of plots are somewhat of a deconstructed version here. (the Mermaid Fish out of water tendency, the Umbrella scene, The cycle and running with the goon's car to save the Partner scene, I am his Wife scene etc etc...
My fav however was when the Loan Shark had a conscience and legitimately helped them, it made me tear up a bit lol.
The show is not without its plot holes though.
And this show had funny dialoges eg :
There is nothing in the ML's immediate future, so FL is like...Rockfish are all dead , the coast of busan likes 'em ML- Howcome she sleep talks like a Marine Ecology Expert!
Melon Musko the US business man dealing in Cat Cryptocurrency lmao...
I am from a far away land <Legit thought she was gonna say, I am from the Land of Mermaids here haha>
Cons : I thought the synopsis said they meet after 7 years, It's 2 years only though? Also the conceptualization of how SG is the unluckiest man, first of all the depiction of how his accidental food spillage led to his owner's kids failing their respective exam Does not make sense , nor the bad Electricity connection...Efforts and Work speed of engineers are not dependent on him, It's wrong to blame him IMHO! Also the Loan sark kept on ending him money, he never faced any unlucky stuff now did he?
Very Interesting and Fun to watch show though really.
Also if someone has the link to the song which Seohyun sings SARANGHe something <Can I not fall in love with you are the lyrics I guess> please do share.

Aiyooo Yehua and his locks were a character on their own which outshadowed BaiQian lmao....

My Final Review Our Blues....
Spoilerwhat a rollercoaster, Ms Dong got to meet his son's Gf and the very cute baby who also resembles her, the scene was so warm and sad at the same time.
The Pureung Grandads granddaughter is so cute...
There are things parents do we don't know about Miss Kang's stubbornness was her self imposed punishment and all DS wanted was acknowledgement, was it too late for them or just the right date for them, I cat decide, it was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
But Life went on and yes The community game and everyone coming back and symbolizing Happiness Over Misery This show is a GEM Indeed.
My rating is 9.9/10 , because I feel while this is a very realistic heartfelt show not everyone is at a stage where they can get the depth it portrays or understands why a character behaves in a certain manner.
Also the first few episode imho are experimentation into unit style documentary series , not everyone would like EH and HS story to be the foremost to be portrayed but her character and Captain are the holding glue of the entire community , EH way more than him.
Also special mention to cast :
Besides the fact Chun HEe and Man su are related, I felt Seon AH/ Yeol and Miss Kang and DS look the part and legit pass of as Mother and Son haha...
My Thoughts for the characters I came to love....
EH - I hope you get your own happiness somewhere and you are an unbeatable Queen please believe that!
MR- People take you up on your face value very few understood your desperation , maybe experience is the best teacher as they say.
DS - You are a warm man with spicy tongue but that is what SA needed , and I hope you live in that Blue house of yours happily ever after.
Captain - Your sincerity and confusion are cute , very few men exist like you do , Loyal and Hot and understanding. Yeong sisters are Lucky.
Eun Gi and Chun Hee - You are both stubborn and your stubbornness saved the man you both love the most. Bicker and Love and laugh equally and be bFFS forever.
Hyun/Yeong - Life is long, Love is tough , with a baby its tougher. Hope it treats you well than your parents.
Grandad CP of the year - You had the most epic Love story , but without the Son and Son in law all 3 of you are so bullheaded it would have been difficult to sort the life out, I hope your grandbaby makes you laugh and live all your lives.
Miss Kang and Miss Chun - I wish to have a bff beside me in my old age like you both were, it helps sort a lot of things out. Will miss you both.-

Ep 18 Review..
Why was it so short?
Man Su is Alive their prayers were heard by the Sky and Writer Nim...THANK YOU......
Yeong Ju is having contractions and the Kouple of the Year is crying holding hands...and Eun Hui blasts at them Rofl...
With Dong Seok and Omoni...I feel, you know when Everybody Literally everybody started lecturing him to tend to her , they dont the whole story for them DS is an angry Man, but saying so the Fathers preaching him that he should tend to her (I get she is old and terminally ill) but they were angry too at their Teen kids when they wholeheartedly confessed they are pregnant and are almost about to ruin their future, they were disappointed! As a parent if you have the leverage to get disappointed so can the Son !!! Parent Child relationship goes both ways and it takes time to come around,I dont know the entire deal but the I dont agree how everyone basically kept on saying we get you when they really didnt, for them it was more on how he was being a brat than understanding...it happens but it is not fair tbh.
Lol Old age people are impatient and do forget and take time to complete things, I could feel his frustration to the bone when they missed the Boat lol....Hope Episode Mokpo is healing not me bawling out again lie I did for last week and yesterday's episode.
Omo this is ending ..no can it go on and on...such a Nice heartfelt show....

My Mind is fogged after last 2 episodes....Also it's hard to stop crying, it's a very heartfelt set of episodes. I hope there is some silver lining.Just pray and hope...
Initially I thought Captain was trying to arrange boats for sailing to Mokpu (this is what happens when you are unaware of geographical locations) , turns out it was for the 100 Moons.
The Kid reminded me of my baby self <prev episode> where she refuses to eat food her grandmom made because it was not made how her Mom makes it lol (I recall my Grandmom making Curry and Rice in her own style and I refused to eat that as lunch because my Mom makes Rice+Lentils and Mash Potato dish), rofl the scene and the dialoges banter was so natural it reminded me of my own house haha...
Senior Yeong's reply to Miss Ok , I wont call you but will call Uri beloved Captain was so cute,,....glad they reached a settlement.
Someone please give a hug to Eun Hui...I will give her a virtual hug till then...

My Final Review of S1?
JCW and the actress have far more chemistry than her and HIY. The premise was quite good, and the concept of a show being about the magician but he himself is the essential cameo is interesting . But what is lacks is exactly that, JCW should have been shown more....
Also the Inspector +JCW combo should be onscreen more lol.
HIY's mom acted better in other shows v/s this one , she was too annoyingly flustered here , I mean for me I didnt find it convincing enough.
But the HIY storyline and JCW as a kid storyline was something <Asphalt road was it> very relatable, parents put too much pressure , sometimes letting the kids breathe should happen too...You are expected to meet the standard, else you are Ejected!
Till EP 6 I thought The magician was an immortal, Lord he is a Human ...it was all over the place in last moments and then ended on a cliffhangers!!!Both Heros are missing.....ufffff
I want to see more of it hopefully please edit out annoying redhed classmate and just make the execution a bit crispier....It has all the things to hit the right note but somehow just fell a lil short of it.

Ep 14 Review
Words matter no matter which relationship, Doormat should not be a Word used for someone you can be your real self, that will lead to other person feeling hurt no matter what. Glad they could sort and Move on , Eun Hui and Mi Ran didnt hold grudges for years...but one line felt very true, "You are Disloyal, else like a stranger why would you hold a grudge? "...That Scene made me cry unintentionally it was a very very deep feel, seldom does any drama can catch the actual sense of a love lost no lost friendship... Kudos...
Not everyone can let it all out , not everyone is the same it's tough , one should also have the capacity to understand, but considering that both have different set of issues and very different way for expressing it.Thankfully they settled it. Mi Ran cares in a different manner, she has a show off tendency, Eun Hui is more grounded but more emo. Opposites attract , but it does not make one a Princess other a Maid in literal sense, they just appreciate themselves and others in a different manner.
Kim Woo Bin shi wooof the height...
Miss Hui has down syndrome , that was a beautiful take on someone who does not meet the standard in the world making her own way there. Miss OK has a very real take here, she is expected to be helping caring and genuine to her sister with Special needs , she is and isn't, again this will make some people hatee her , but it's not easy.
We still have confrontations pending , this time amongst sisters.....Hope this true blues also sort itself out....

EP 13 Review .....Hmmmmmmm
Fun parts :
Dad1 - It's 3 AM And You are EATING RAMYEON???!!
Eat Rameyon with your Husband, proceeds to go stay with DAD2 ....ROFL That scene
The Cat fight was sort of FUnny , I mean it was unintentional but was funny.
Circle back to Eun Hui and Mi Ran, that is her epic love story not the one with Hansu.
Also NEVER READ SOMEONE ELSE'S DIARY , even if it's your BFF/Sibiling/Spouse/Parents or Kids!!
Now this is what opened a Pandora's box and Now Mi Ran Said it to EUn Hui's face , the half fact and then Ran Away....I mean Come ON!!!
And then Eun Hui chases her,...damn it's that one relationship friendship which I feel everyone has and can never let go no matter how twisted or unclearly clear it is. Would they sort things after talking it out???? ------------>>>>>>>HMMMMM.......
Miss OK has a twin with special needs, you made my Captain Cry who finally got some action after breaking the entire Jeju's fight everyday...dang.....
Better be interesting enough or else this Love story and the entire arc is just an added bonus without which the show could have clearly Done without tbh....<I would rather see Eun Hui/Mi Ran and the other 3 plots >
