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…

My Happy Ending: I keep trying to drop this drama, but I can’t. The twists are so insane and they haven’t stopped coming since Episode 1! Though the direction the show is going in gets more and more crazy, I’m strangely hopeful that all the pieces will shake out in a way that makes sense. It *feels* like most of the big character reveals/twists are out of the way, and I would be okay if the final few episodes were Jae-won getting her life back from the back-stabbing people around her, with her helpful puppy at her side. I mean, that’s my hope, but likely we’ve got a heart-wrecking, emotional bloodbath ending in our future. Just sayin’.
Marry My Husband: Wheeeee it was fun to see the comeuppance coming in hot for our baddies. While I’m sure there will be a few bumps in the road to come, so far I have really enjoyed the pacing of this drama — I’m not bored for a second, but I also don’t feel like it’s rushing its way around. Also really well-paced is the romance, and I lerrrrrrrrrv watching Ji-won and Ji-hyuk get closer. There’s something about this world-weary yet hopeful pair that gets right to me.

Flex x Cop: This is such a fun show! Yi-soo is the most over-the-top character I’ve seen in a long time, and I love it! I thought Hotel del Luna’s Jang Man-wol had the coolest garage, but apparently, she’s got nothing on Yi-soo’s! This man has an helicopter. That he personally flies, people! It can’t get any crazier than that. Yi-soo’s brand of crazy aside, I love this drama because its setup reminds me of Castle (my fav TV show ever!), and I had so much fun comparing the characters in both shows — from the rich and famous adrenaline junkie to the cop who can’t stand him but gets roped into partnership with him by the higher-ups. The “macho” cop, the fanboy cop, and the hot forensics lady. Everyone is well represented here, it’s almost unbelievable. I really don’t care for Yi-soo’s mommy issues and family drama. But I care about his hyung… and I don’t like the nagging feeling I get that hyung is faking his affection for Yi-soo. I blame K-dramas for not showing me enough healthy relationships between chaebol brothers.
