Check back later if you’re interested in my thoughts on “Atypical Family” and “Midnight Romance in Hagwon”. I still needed to finish them both when I was writing this.

JENN’S WATCHLIST
Come Back Soon LEE JOON!
SBS / Escape of the Seven: Resurrection
People came back from the dead. People died. And we finally got to the writer’s message that Fake News is a virus, we all need to fight and not multiply. But ultimately all that I was left with was LEE JOON, I need you in a new, better drama ASAP.
Our boy Ryu Sung Jae [BYEON WOO SEOK] is the greenest green flag that ever greened and Byeon Woo Seok is doing a great job trying to ground his performance in reality. But I’m ready to head back to the present and our adult Im Sol [KIM HYE YOON] and Ryu Sung Jae. We better see Kim Tae Sung [SONG GEON HEE] there as well! Also, I need some - really any - info on ‘the why’ of this weirdly obsessed Taxi Driver. Can’t believe we only have 2 more weeks with this crew!
hold please…
I’m still here - who knew! Sweet, occasionally poignant and just a fun insightful story about the importance of not bottling up your real thoughts. I once again have SLS, this time for JOO JONG HYUK. Not sure that his character actually deserves a 2nd chance, but he has fantastic chemistry with KANG HAN NA and clearly feels regret for how they parted. GO KYUNG PYO is hilarious and I am loving Song Ki Baek and his ‘enlightenment’ but I’m not really buying the romance with Kang Han Na, they have more of a brother / sister vibe to me. But overall this drama is a good way to spend my Wed / Thurs!
hold please…
