Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching (January 13, 2024)
by DB Staff
So, what are we all watching this week?
What kept you reaching for more (or agonizing when there was no more), and what made you want to throw your remote through the screen? Time to weigh in…

My Happy Ending: This drama is so fun! The twists are still out of this world, with a new reveal (or ten) every episode that seems to get us further along towards the truth, but really just makes things even more muddy. Jang Nara is so fun here as our detached and chaotic heroine — indeed, the chaos of this drama is its charm!
Marry My Husband: I didn’t think I would be sticking around, to be honest, but this show knows how to hit all the right beats and it’s been really fun. What a testament to storytelling, too, that it can have virtually the same plot and plot points as Perfect Marriage Revenge but be telling an entirely different story in an entirely different way. As for our cast, Lee Yi-kyung is so great at what he does, Song Ha-yoon has never been so painfully aegyo-y despicable, and Na In-woo is still weirder than ever (but it’s strangely growing on me?).

Marry My Husband: Color me surprised. I’m still invested in this one, but I can’t entirely wrap my head around the concept that everything — even something as minor as a small bump to the knee — is an unavoidable fate unless it is stolen by or from someone. By that logic, Ji-won shouldn’t be able to deviate at all from her previous timeline, but she and Ji-hyuk have already made several changes to the timeline without engaging in an equivalent exchange. Or am I to believe that Ji-won’s friendship with Hee-yeon and subsequent makeover were stolen from someone else?
A Good Day to Be a Dog: I started this drama with high expectations, and in the end my interest fizzled to a point where I was kind of glad it was over.
Welcome to Samdal-ri: My interest in this drama can be broken down into the following percentages: 20% invested in Sam-dal’s relationship with Yong-pil, another 20% reserved for the romantic relationships of Sam-dal’s sisters, 10% dedicated to watching Sam-dal’s career evolve because of my own personal interest in photography, and — finally — a whopping 50% is just me waiting for Eun-joo to finally get what’s coming to her. If this drama has Sam-dal take the high road, I’m going to be majorly upset. Eun-joo needs to crash and burn, and I hope it’s a spectacular train wreck.
Moving: So glad I could binge watch straight through this one. I think I would have died a slow death each week waiting for new episodes.

A Good Day to Be a Dog: I somehow finished all the episodes. What a grab bag of weirdness this drama has been. I can’t believe how much I loved the first half and how hard it was to sit through the rest. The final episode was pretty enough, I guess, but what did it have to do with anything? This was definitely a case where it would have been better to cut secondary storylines (maybe the whole backstory), get in, and get out.
