Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching (April 8, 2023)

Our Blooming Youth: Heading into the last week and I’m choosing optimism. We have a lot to cover, a lot to wrap up, and a lot of questions still to answer, but I’ve loved this show for nine weeks and I’m prepared to love it in the finale also.

Divorce Attorney Shin: Can Gi-yeong just be adopted by his uncle? I feel like everyone except the wicked step-mother (and probably poor Ha-yul) would be happier in that situation.

Delivery Man: Ignoring the police and how no one seems to have a good investigative idea, this remained cute and fun throughout. We were all spared a loss of memory angst, and they left plenty of time for cute scenes at the end.

Reply 1988: I finally finished! This was maybe my longest watch of all time, partly because each episode is movie-length and partly because I was watching in between all the currently airing things. I have to say, it was very good and very well done, and I totally understand why it was/is so popular. The first few times we saw the main characters as adults, I was disappointed because they didn’t seem that likable, and I worried that they had lost what made them charming as teens. But I’m happy to say that my opinion changed with more screentime for them, and I think I grew to understand them better. I gotta say, as much as Seon-u and Bo-ra’s relationship was great, I would’ve liked to see more of Taek and Deok-sun at the end. Basically all we got in ep 20 was their conversation around their feelings not changing and waiting to tell their families, but we never got to see their relationship progress past that point. With as much lead-up as there had been the whole show, I was not expecting their best climactic moment to come in ep 19 (although it was great). I also wish we would have gotten more information about where our characters are in present-day. Jung-bong gets a mention, but Jung-hwan, Dong-ryeong, and Jin-ju aren’t mentioned at all, and I would have loved to know where the parents all ended up living, and what Dong-il ended up doing with his time after he was forced to retire. Maybe it’s exactly because I spent so much time with them that I want to know more, and maybe if they had told me all these things, I would have just picked other things I’d like to know. Regardless, I’ll remember this drama very fondly.

My Love from the Star: This is so fun! Love an exasperated ML who just can’t quite stay away from the FL. If there are going to be murderers in my romcom, I want them obvious from the beginning, none of this heartbreak ⅔ of the way through business. Is Second Chaebol Son wearing just a bit of eyeliner? I’m into it, it gives his sinister grin that little something extra.
