What we’re watching (August 5, 2023) MGG

King the Land: I might be the only one still having fun, but I’m comfortable with that. Hwa-ran is the villain that it takes guts to commit to, and I hope she doesn’t try to be sympathetic in our last two episodes. I even enjoyed the fakeout about the potential conflict between Won and Sa-rang. It’s nice to have two people who trust each other and talk about what’s bothering them instead of sliding into instant misunderstandings.

The Uncanny Counter 2: I know it’s only been a couple of weeks since I finished season 1, but I was so happy to see everyone again! Kang Ki-young looks like he’s having the time of his life in this role, So Mun is making grand entrances left and right, and I have high hopes for our new guy in the group.

Heartbeat I’m willing to suspend my annoyance with Cat Man if this show gives us more great moments between our leads. Let it be them against their fates please! And I’m all for the vampire sidekicks trying to do some investigating of Man-hwi’s blood farm of horror, but if anything happens to Rose, I’m not sure I’ll be able to forgive writer-nim.

Not Others Jin-hong is pretty adorable, and he seems like such a nice contrast to Eun-mi, so I hope they work out. If she could just look a liiiiittle less smug in her absolute dishonesty and manipulation, that would be great. I like where we have Jin-hee and Jae-won right now, but I also wouldn’t mind if they sped things up slightly this week.

Splash Splash Love Previously I’d seen a very terrible quality version of this on youtube, so I’m really glad I went back and watched a more legit version on Viki this week. Such a cute little drama. I would watch a whole full length drama of this exact story, tbh. But with all the same actors, or I won’t accept it.

Pachinko This continues to be pretty great. The way they splice together the events of the past and the events of the present is so powerful. When Seon-ja stood in the rain and the waves after 50 years – I’m not crying you’re crying.

My Lovely Liar Against my better judgment, I started this show this week also. It’s not that I didn’t want to watch it from the beginning, but there are so many dramas going on right now. It’s a little overwhelming. I don’t know if I’ve ever had this many going at once. Anyway, everything all the Beanies are saying about this is true – super great so far, very engaging, invested in the characters, curious about the mystery.
