Last week was bad. I was sick, again. Thankfully it wasn’t my heart this time, but still, ugh... And this week I caught a cold. A mild one, and I worked, just from home, but still nothing pleasant about it. I feel better today so here is hoping that next week will be finally sickness free.

And here is my drama watching report.

Heartbeat – I watched all the available 10 episodes. It’s very cute, funny and cozy. There is some angst, of course, but not too much, and I’m sure there will be a happy ending. I’m very grateful for this drama, because it cheered me up a lot last week.

Taecyeon is good and very handsome. His character is so sweet. And he has good chemistry with the female lead played by Won Ji An. I haven’t seen her in anything else, but she’s great here and I love her character so much.

And here is a great interview with Taecyeon (in English) about the drama and a few other things.


The Jungle – two episodes aired and I watched them. It’s not good, but entertaining in that ‘don’t have to think too much, and there are a lot of beautiful people to stare at’ way. But it’s very chaste considering the subject. I mean, I know it’s a GMMTV drama so there won’t be a lot of explicit scenes. But still, these guys are apparently players seducing women left and right. And all we’ve got for now was one awkward kiss. 😊

Also the guys are pretty boring for now IMO, even Nanon’s character. Well, ok Mix is cool and he looks great. But at least the women are definitely more interesting than men. I already like Gale a lot. And Irin. So for now I’m in it for them.


I’m also looking for the next cdrama to watch. I watched half of the 1st episode of When I Fly Towards You, because all the reviews were so glowing. And it’s cute, I guess, but it’s about teenage love and it’s always harder for me to get invested in that, and here I didn’t. So that one is a no for me.

I'm sorry to read you've been ill and hope you make a swift recovery! ♥

We've been watching Heartbeat but we're only up to episode 5 and really enjoying it! As we're watching Vincenzo at the same time, it's a bit of a shock! :D

Ooh, thanks for the Heartbeat interview link! I also love the show - it's cute, it's romantic, it subverts the soulmate trope, Taecyeon is even better than I expected, I have no complaints so far.

I knooow I know! I was so unsure they would go through with it, since they keep repeating the "you can ever only love one person". But last week, it did look like they'll stick with the subverted trope. I very much hope they will, too!
