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…

A Good Day to Be a Dog: I got a big kick out of Episode 3. It might be too soon to call it, but this role *might* allow me to warm up to Cha Eun-woo finally. He definitely has a fantastic “secretly swooning over you” side eye, and overall this drama continues to be as colorful and fun as in the first week. Now we just have to wait 100 years for Episode 4…

Twinkling Watermelon: Eun-gyeol and his teenage mom are just the sweetest, most heart-tugging pair. And I also love Eun-gyeol’s dynamic with teenage Yi-chan (though if I didn’t know better, I’d be convinced Yi-chan was in love with Eun-gyeol). But overall I tend to get frustrated with Eun-gyeol for reasons that I guess aren’t entirely his fault — he has been dropped into the past with basically zero direction as to why he’s there or what to do, after all. Still, he could be a little smarter about not talking to people like he’s, well, their future son. My favorite character, though, is teenage Yi-chan, the reasons for which can be summed up in two very specific moments from this week: 1) him getting all serious and sweet with Chung-ah and declaring the two of them friends, only to abruptly spin away shouting “tornado!!!” for absolutely no reason, and 2) him learning how to thank her in sign language. Okay, and 3) the missing person posters and rock band serenade for Eun-gyeol.
