Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching (February 4, 2023)
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…

Through the Darkness: My biggest takeaway from our end-of-year festivities was that I needed to go back and watch this one (I’m honestly not even sure how it slipped past my radar when it aired!), so here I am, finally, and I loved the first couple of episodes. It’s pretty heavy to binge, though, so I’m intentionally pacing myself — which also means I’ll get to enjoy watching it for longer.
Authentic: The Story of Tablo: Technically, this is a listening to rather than a watching, but the storytelling of this podcast is so descriptive and riveting, it feels like you’re watching the story unfold. While I wouldn’t call myself more than an occasional casual listener of Epik High, for some reason what little I knew of Tablo’s story has always fascinated me. Now, halfway through the podcast, it fascinates, terrifies, and inspires me all at once. I highly recommend it — SO much research went into putting this together, and the host does a great job of delving into not just Tablo’s personal story, but also the social factors of what was going on in Korea at the time that influenced why people reacted the way they did.

Crash Course in Romance: Been watching this drama since it first started airing, and I love it! So happy to see Jung Kyung-ho in another rom-com role, but I’m beyond ready for the romance part to kick it up a notch. I can’t wait for our favorite math teacher to start fretting over his budding feelings and how “wrong” they are because he thinks Haeng-sun is married. I hope the reveal that she’s single and totally free to mingle is epic and happens sooner rather than later.
Trolley: This drama has me on a roller coaster of emotions! I had my fingers crossed that our married couple wouldn’t be torn apart by whatever the plot gods had in store for them, but I should have known better. Maybe it’s because I’m typically more of a sucker for rom-coms that I was so invested in the strength and longevity of this couple, but even while they’re falling apart, I find their screen time more preferable to watch than whenever Seung-hee is on screen. My patience for Seung-hee and her mother is growing thinner and thinner with each episode, and I can’t wrap my head around her unceasing need for her mother’s approval.

Trolley: I almost believed that good politicians exist, but they had to reveal Joong-do’s true colors. Does the end justify his means? Definitely not. He has crossed all husband and fatherly lines, and I don’t know how Hye-joo is going to move past the betrayal. In the meantime, I’m going to need her to stop reacting to whatever is thrown her way and start acting. She’s a much stronger person than she gives herself credit for, and it’s time for her to put complete trust in herself — everyone else is undeserving of it — and take matters into her own hands.
Crash Course in Romance: Much ado about a belt! Haha! I need more of the Choi Chi-yeol embarrassing moments, and less of the pellets of doom and insecure students with their overbearing mums.
