I used to re-watch dramas when I was bored but then.... I got lazy and discovered MVs are a good way to remind yourself of a drama that you loved but don't have the energy to re-watch. hahahahah... it is a good shortcut. also a nice way of finding new dramas if you don't feel like watching the full thing.

I would've loved that. But it seems like Shin Go-Eun abruptly left the drama for some reason.
if a lead leaves abruptly, we know some real drama happened offscreen.....

This drama is over! Thank god!
Agreed. Definitely agree. As I said SR was my favorite character, once they needlessly killed her off, me (and plenty of other viewers) were no longer interested. I did find myself kinda liking AR/HJ. But people in Korea apparently hated it and it's one of the worst rated dailies on KBS ever.
the entire plot made no sense without serin. and the ending of a 10 year leap with the two leads separating just cracks me up. as for lawyer brother and dimwit, groan. @Ameera Ali -- does no one say, "hey her dad killed his dad but who cares right!?!"
so the ending definitely makes it even worse than it was.

I have a feeling that the actress that played original GU and SR in GU's body left the show so the writers scrabbled to make AE... GU's sister. I think SR was suppose to GU's sister.
yea, it is pretty much standard rule that somehow the two people are connected and that is why there is soul switching. there is always some sort of history connection that neither knew about. so it seems strange that serin was pretty much dropped.
something definitely happened behind the scenes because I think the writer had a different drama in mind. am not sure if it was that bad for people to want to cancel the drama @liyahsbutterfly as I found it entertaining in bits especially serin. love twist was a drama I totally despised and had to drop for my own sanity. so not the worst daily in my mind.

Update on the criticisms for this daily.
The writer is no longer working with KBS after this drama ends. It's gotten so bad that he's basically been fired. Plus his obsession with Lee Chae-Young is... creepy. But Ae-Ra/Hyun-Jung was the real protagonist/"woman in a veil" all along.the writer got fired? where did you find that?

I think he would look better and younger without a beard and a mustache. What’s his name? Let’s google516
kekeke... this seems to be his signature look though. plus side, he has some abs. he is in his 40s. beats all the baby/baby-faced oppas.

hahahaha... hilariously the girl's mom describes him as ugly.
what is funny is the girl's father who looks exactly like your gif. there is a ditzy aunt character (of the FL) and she hysterically calls the father-in-law of the FL as "super mario" (like in the game) and wonders how a bald old man has such charisma. I laugh at such random humour in this dizi.

feeling all squee over a minor couples trajectory in a dizi. yay! fun times after a long drama slump.
they are such a throwback to a slower type romance where everything is all about expressions and energy. where something quiet like allowing a hand graze and fingers touching is such a big step because she comes from such a conservative background, a sharp contrast to his modern background.
so cute to see such crossed lovers!

Chingu. I am lost. I don't even know if Serin's dead at this point. Nothing makes sense anymore.
@partyon ~ I don't feel like watching after serin left/dead. GU (the main FL character) in any body is just a doormat and boring. other villains are so so. the story does not make sense if serin died and in the previous drama, the writer resurrected one character multiple times. so I figured that was going to happen here but serin is not popping up and disappointing us. sigh.

yea I read that in a fan post somewhere in youtube when the series were airing. I always thought the chemistry was too natural and so I thought the fan post must be true. the kid also has a younger sister. and there was a vid of the three of them playing in between shooting. they really did look like relatives in the interactions.

I'm saddened that the lawyer will pair up with an empty head, I think we'll soon find out she's adopted. I want it with Sérin
I feel like serin was meant to be lawyer's original pairing but then maybe the actress was unavailable or something, the character of serin was written out. too bad though. their interactions were so entertaining to watch.

@sweetroad @larus @4evrkdrama You guys love all Thai lakorn trailers, so here's the trailer for the drama @joccu and I are watching:
I couldn't get past the starting line in the trailer -- "the bar is secret...." ummm, what???? why would no one know its secret location? in that case, how would it make money? is this a rave party organizers? but they said bar and this means actual physical location. if no one knows where it is, how do they get contractors and suppliers? where do the people come from?? strange!

Spoilerpost#1 -- practical stuff to look at when meeting someone
Remember, an arranged marriage aims to cultivate a life-long partnership based on mutual respect, understanding, and shared goals.
To navigate this intricate process effectively, here are ten practical considerations and conversation prompts to help expedite your decision-making:
1. Shared Values: Discuss your personal beliefs, ideologies, and life objectives. Determining if you both have common grounds in these areas will create a stronger foundation.
2. Openness: Encourage transparency by discussing your hopes, fears, and expectations. Authenticity at the onset will prevent unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.
3. Financial Perspectives: Examine each other's attitudes towards finance. Matters of money are fundamental to a harmonious life together.
4. Perspectives on Family: Understand their views on familial relationships and the institution of marriage. This conversation can offer valuable insight into their worldviews.
5. Emotional Intelligence: Assess your potential partner's ability to understand, interpret, and respond to emotions - their own and yours. This is crucial for effective communication in a relationship.
6. Dealmakers: Identify the characteristics or traits that strongly resonate with you. These could be attributes that make you enthusiastic about the potential of the relationship.
7. Dealbreakers: Just as important as dealmakers, are dealbreakers. Knowing what you cannot tolerate in a partner is as important as knowing what you admire.
8. Social Circle: Spend time with their friends and family. Observing their interactions can give you a genuine sense of their personality and values.
9. Consistency: Monitor their actions and words for consistency. A reliable partner is honest and dependable in both their words and deeds.
10. Expert Opinions: Engage experienced individuals or professionals who can offer guidance and advice based on their knowledge or personal experiences. This can provide you with diverse perspectives.

@LeftCoastOppa never been in Starbucks but is the tea good in there?
162
I am highly suspicious of that since I found out they sell a product in the US called "chai tea latte"
-- I was so puzzled when I first read of the product. chai literally is the hindi word for tea. so it is tea tea latte? masala tea? ginger tea? cardamom tea? cinnamon tea? who knows. I still don't know the answer.
I wonder if they sell that in India. probably get laughs. do you know @kokodus?
we have local brands now that even deliver tea to your house. it works out well for folks who are feeling too lazy to make a cuppa.
1 hour ago, joccu said:@Lmangla your coffee is so cheap.
yea it is; the smaller joints are really busy. they just have standing room where people are constantly buying coffee and tea. they drink and they leave.
basically the pricier versions are those where you are essentially paying to sit and relax. so fancier settings where you can meet people on a date or business meeting etc. so that is what you are actually paying for. the sofa. not the coffee itself.

Today on our newspaper was an article about coffee prices on cafes, rest stop and restaurants. People were complaining about the high price of one cup of coffee in here.
i’m curious how much one coffee cup or cappuccino cost in your countries?
168
depends on what type of shop you go to.
you can literally get a small cuppa for 0.11 euros / 0.12 USD at one of these roadside stalls/vendors/small shops. if you go to a eatery joint, maybe 0.55 euros. a fancy coffee shop, maybe around 1 euro and more. a posh hotel/restaurant, maybe around 1.50 euros to 2.70 euros. if you go starbucks, it is 2.70 euros and up.
there is basically coffee and tea available for every budget and preference. but if you want real taste, go for the cheaper guys because it will be more authentic. you only get one flavour though and only option is sugar or no sugar. still taste is premium when it comes to filter coffee or a good cup of tea. you can get some nice butter biscuit to go along with it.
the pricier joints is not only waste of money but seriously blah taste. no satisfaction of drinking a hot cup. there were plenty of times where we left the pricier joints and then found some roadside place to feel refreshed.

May you fully recover soon! I remember experiencing it years ago from a chicken dish bought from outside.
thanks; I also got it from outside food and all I had was flat bread (chappati)! I was trying to figure out what made me sick but my doctor said if I started feeling sick within 1 hour of eating, that was the bad food.
I suspect now that we got old batch when we ordered. no one ate it on the first day. normally nothing happens to bread/chappati/naan/khubs as long you put it in fridge. but I turned out to be victim when I ate it next day. thankfully I was the only one in my family who ate it.
but yea, just having meds and resting. feeling more better but not much appetite or strength to do anything.
I hope I can go back to enjoying food soon!

Confessions of a Drama Addict (Part 2): Their Guilty Pleasure Dramas
in events
Posted
bwhahahah.... even when I share the good looking beard oppas, you are not convinced.
should I be glad youtube knows my heart well and gives good MVs to watch even when I don't know anything about the drama or the actors? hahahahha....
dailies are fun when we can roast and laugh at it together. forget re-watching, even to watch these longer dramas without any company is difficult at times.
