Kdramas. Cats. Languages. 🏳️‍🌈🫶🐈
I watched a LOT of medical dramas this year. Hospital Playlist lacks all the tension and stress of say, Trauma Code, that comes from the medical emergencies. Instead it’s a slice of life workplace drama about friendships that just happens to be set in a hospital.

I watched ep 1 of Hospital Playlist many years ago and dropped it. This year I restarted and by the end of the show I LOVED it. It is a show that takes its time to show you the characters; by the end I felt they’re real and missed them.

On the other hand Resident Playbook disappointed me.

Day 17: Gorgeous Night Scene

#WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines is a beautiful kdrama. In this brief night scene, she says that she moved to this poor neighborhood so she could see the most beautiful Christmas tree in Seoul sparkling. She means the tower. “You’re sparkling,” he replies.

Day 16: Found Family

A large part of the charm of #MySweetMobster was the Thirsty Deer gang all living together in one giant fancy house. The idea that the ex-gangsters would want to live together let alone cook and share meals is ridiculous but also hilarious and sweet.

Castaway Diva was the first time I noticed #MoonWooJin, but I have seen him in so many kdramas since then, and he elevates whatever he is in.

Day 15: Child Performance

#MoonWooJin as the young version of the ML in #CastawayDiva. He was by far the best thing about that kdrama.

Such a handsome man with such an ugly beard 🤣

Also the 2nd prince looks like he started growing his hair out to pull it up under his wig and then ran out of time. 😂

10. Last, I still think it’s hilarious that in #MarryMyHusband Japan, the characters are alumni of the same university, and it was filmed at MY alma mater, Rikkyo University in Tokyo. I’ve only ever seen 2 jDramas; what are the chances? 😅

That was my school. No pond. 🤣

I agree with you on both of those.

I think if I were ONLY using Duolingo I would get to a point where I couldn’t keep making progress. But all the hours and hours of kdramas I watch are the natural sounding input and realistic phrases I need. Duo helps me with reading and medium frequency vocab.

The Saja Boys song Your Idol begins with a sample of the medieval Latin song Dies Irie which is definitely Christian.
