    Something fun and touching all the right spots. Like father is strange or once again.

    try 'sons of sol pharmacy' (also known as my too perfect sons) -- it is old but never fails to make me laugh; the mother is pulling out her hair because she has 4 sons and she wants the oldest 3 to get married and the youngest to just pass high school. ji chang wook acts as the teenage son born after a huge age gap and he was a newbie when the drama aired. 

    the opening scene in trailer is from ep 1 or 2 and the first time I watched, I laughed till my belly ached. none of the actors have any abs, so sad for @partyon and @Ameera Ali but one of the few scenes I can recall where all these guys are standing in their underwear. :lol::lol::lol: 

     

    try 'be my family' - it is a daily and it is pretty sweet family drama. two people in their 60s get married and so now they have to figure out how to blend a family full of adults. lots of interesting themes such as a brother feeling like a total failure because his sister gets high marks whereas he has failed his university exams and is feeling pressure from his mother especially to pass. it is rather a sweet drama.

    I tried watching this drama twice while I was in a family drama phase. But I could not get past 3 or 4 eps. I tried ojakkyo brothers as well. Couldn't finish that either. 

     

    Is there any good weekend family drama airing right now @Lmangla??

    have been out of the loop of weekend dramas @kokodus; whether it is weekend or daily dramas, you need to give about 5-10 episodes to find a groove. what kind of mood are you in? then I can suggest

    Anyone been following this "scandal"? @confusedheart @MayanEcho @Lmangla @joccuhttps://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/01/actor-kang-kyung-joon-alleged-mistress-reportedly-go-into-hiding-after-affair-allegations

     

    Feel kind of sorry for his wife who is now filing for a divorce from a second husband. If I remember correctly, she filed for divorce from her first husband because he was a fraudster. Not sure if it's true, but read that there were also rumors that he cheated as well.

    This girl has the worst luck with men. I hope she can overcome all of this!

    same as @larus; am looking at the photo and wondering who is this fella. I don't think I have seen him in any drama that I watched. does not look familiar. no idea who the wife is either.

    I am gonna be honest. I might have liked Joseon Tae Ha more than the modern one

    joseon tae ha always felt far more charismatic than the modern one. even though he was fleeting, he made more of an impact in the first episode than modern tae ha through all his journey. shrug. 

    more than the couple, I was more interested in the stepmother and her inner turmoil. she was the reason I didn't drop the drama. the grandpa and revenge seeking secretary was a nice twist. so I actually zipped through most of the OTP scenes.

    I didn't really get how the ending worked. so basically joseon tae ha had to die of natural causes in order for fate to stop repeating itself? so if someone died of unnatural causes, their spirit keeps wandering or jumping timelines in this drama? not sure if that was the kind of idea the writer was trying to suggest. 

    that said, it made sense sort of why she was cold to joseon tae ha. from the start, she told modern tae ha that he was not a replacement for her husband and she saw him as a different person. so joseon tae ha was never going to replace modern tae ha in any lifetime. still, I don't get why she married him if that was the case? just to prevent him dying of poison so her parents could live?

    another one of these time loop dramas that is a bit messy in logic. still, it was more interesting than perfect marriage revenge which I sort of fell asleep as the ML was such a yawn. this tae ha at least looked a bit alive and had more interesting things to do!

    Kdrama police are a bumbling lot, so they miss  a key evidence but will suspect the daughter. :lol:
     

    I think she breaks the record for being the longest boring FL. Other doormats and faux innocents would have started changing by 1/3 of the show.

    she is too busy carrying bag of onions to change. I want to say, boiling herbs but she does that barely. every time I see episode, she is in front of an empty kitchen where nothing is being cooked. this is a strange restaurant. :lol:

    Sounds like the same laws.

    Here in my country family has no say when it comes to autopsies. It is always performed if there is no clear indication of a disease or injury that caused it.

     

    Has she been charged yet, btw?

     

    @Ameera Ali Am about to start on ep 2 of Marry My Husband together with @agenth. Did you already watch it?

     

    226

    from the news I read, she has been arrested and charged. it no longer comes in news. in the documentary, there was fine print that trial is still in process.

    @Lmangla My questions were mostly with regard to the fact that no one from the police reacted to all these deaths before someone from the family became suspicious? And why did they not automatically investigate if they found poison in the husband's body? How can a family in any unclear circumstances stop an autopsy from being performed?

     

    232

    the local police was rather inept or it was a case of everyone knowing each other in the small village and thinking no one would do anything bad. also, some of the deaths were of old folks and so people assumed that it was just age related. as for the husband, they should have investigated futher. also, he must have been showing signs of depression and so people just assumed that it was a suicide.

    I am not sure about the laws here regarding this but I do know in some countries, the family has to sign off before an autopsy can be done. so in some instances, if the family does not agree, the police cannot do anything unless they get a court order. (lee seon kyun's family also refused autopsy according to one news article I read).

    bit late but @partyon  just responding to one of your tags, yes I watched the curry and cynaide documentary on netflix. I was curious as they had direct access to the family members. I remember when it was news and it was on every channel. you have Qs?

    I think the mother has amnesia... and the chairman is behind it somehow. I don't think it's on purpose.

    it feels like the writer wants us to know that the mother didn't forget about the FL on purpose and wasn't cold and callous. but rather, she forgot because of sickness. then we can have 3 ommas that @maribella loves so much. :P

    There is a high probability you are correct, a kdrama twist. 
     

    But he seemed not to know her Korean name, further they are now making him so devoted when he was a lecher earlier. I think the mother will go back to him.

    chairman is a player. when she finally goes back to him, he no longer has to be devoted and can go back freely to leching and trying to get some other woman. it is all about the chase and the game.

    @partyon ~ I finally managed to get some time to watch 2 eps of marriage contract park and I liked it. really appreciate that the guy looks healthy and normal -- he looks like a man! (not some teenage gangly kid in other contract marriage show :grimace: )

    looks really good with white shirts. my tick of approval!
