Team Dramabeans: What We’re Watching (August 31, 2024) – Missvictrix and Mistyisles

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…

No Gain No Love: What a fun premiere! I love when dramas lean into the cheesiness with the onscreen graphics, sound effects, and imagined scenarios. Shin Mina’s tablecloth wedding gown + dry heaving when the bride and groom kissed was gold. Also, points for this drama having our leads already know each other and skipping the introductions. So rare for a romcom of this nature.

Love Next Door: I wasn’t thrilled by every turn we took this week, but I like our leading couple so much — and am so invested in their individual journeys — that I can overlook the parts I’m less excited about long enough to get back to the good stuff. I did catch myself tuning out a few times, though, only to be drawn back in by the next big satisfying emotional moment.
