LIVE WATCHES
The Matchmakers
This drama is officially in the running to become my favorite K-drama ever, ever. Even if it doesn’t end well, it might still win that award based–first and foremost–on its visual and sonic beauty, but then secondarily because of its focused narrative complexity. I find myself laughing whenever I have this thought, though, because I feel like I sound like Han Dong-jin in the final scenes before the controversial, but consensual, break-up with Sim Woo-joo in Call It Love…”You gave me everything, The Matchmakers, even if we eventually break up forever.” 🥹

My Demon
Still a hoot. Still has all my attention. Got a little tedious this Friday. Song Kang isn’t THAT good looking. It will surprise no one to hear that I would therefore like to spearhead TEAM LEE SANG-YI. Team LSY, 4evAH…don’t care if he killed everyone in the story. I already know what his abs look like…I’m here more for the (not-supernatural) male angst.

The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract
I find this drama diverting, but not as diverting as My Demon, simply because it isn’t as bitingly funny–a.k.a. my kind of funny. I am also happy it’s gonna be only 12 episodes…I think that’s juuuust the right length.

LYOL (skimming for the gifs)
Weekenders go on forever!!! And there’s never not enough Ha Joon nowadays. And also, his character needs to shape up or ship out.

Welcome to Samdal-ri
Why is no one talking about how O-bong is in this drama too??? I just can’t. He’s the best. Wookie, sure sure. O-bong has my attention.

FROM THE RESERVES
So, you know how Hong-jo (from Destined with You) and now Yeon-woo (from TSoPMC) go off into the woods alone in the dark because, “they feel like it,” and everyone screams at them, “Don’t do that, you dum-dums!! Bad things happen when women wander alone in the woods!!”

I’m doing that soon. Going to a cabin, all alone and by myself, for three days, in the woods. I’m calling it my Hong-jo Hiatus.

“Why did you go off alone into the forest, risking your life recklessly,” he asked.

“To get away from you people and your incessant needs,” I replied.

I shall be taking My Liberation Notes with me, but who knows, I might just stare out the window…waiting for my psychopath shamanic stalker to find me like a Perilous Prince Charming.
