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…

Call It Love: I am loving this. I love the growing bond between our leads; it’s so understated but totally magnetic. Also, this drama is just a joy for the eyes — the direction is just wonderful, and every shot is a treat.

Taxi Driver 2: Oh, I’m totally onboard! Season 2 brought back everything I loved about the show, and elevated it to the next level. It’s adorable how nothing can keep our ragtag found family apart — they’re banding together and pursuing justice no matter what it takes. I also appreciate the shift in focus towards saving victims rather than meting out violent revenge; it feels like well-earned character development and emotional maturity. Here’s to more electrifying tracks (I was overjoyed to hear Season 1’s OST again!) and laugh-out-loud hilarity (the mechanic bros are a riot, and Go-eun’s sass is top-tier).
Divorce Attorney Shin: Yay, it’s a Jo Seung-woo and Jung Moon-sung reunion! From sharing the same role in the musical Hedwig to working together in Life, these two are phenomenal apart and even better together. Plus, I love that the drama is making full use of their vocal prowess, heh. The plot isn’t exactly doing it for me so far, but I’d watch just about anything with these two in it. Add versatile character actor Kim Sung-kyun to the mix, and I’m sold. The humorous beats are right up my alley, and I could watch an entire spinoff about the trio’s (mis)adventures. (In fact, I might even prefer that.)

Seojin’s Korean Street Food: This continues to be my happy pill but I’m dying with only one episode per week. I love the rapport between this team and how they all fill a specific role in the “story.” My favorite part is listening to all the different languages of the tourists, and seeing how baffled they are when they find out the workers are actually famous actors. Ugh, when am I ever going to stumble onto one of their pop-up restaurants when I’m on vacation?!
