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…

Destined With You: I love these two, gah! The pacing of this drama and romance continues to be delightfully haphazard, and even though the whole thing is a little all over the place, I am enjoying the resulting unpredictability of when certain (predictable) plot points will appear.
My Lovely Boxer: *On pause while I wait for the final episode to binge*

Twinkling Watermelon: This was a case where I almost wish I’d gone into it more blindly than I did. I knew who Choi Hyun-wook’s character was, so I spent the two episodes wondering if I’d missed something or if it was just supposed to be a surprise later (obviously it was the latter). I think I’d have preferred to wonder how he fit into the story and then be surprised at the very end instead. That tiny complaint aside, though, I’m officially hooked, and I definitely did not expect it to hit so hard emotionally. It’s like Shut Up: Flower Boy Band meets Twenty Five Twenty One meets August Rush meets Back to the Future, and somehow that all works.

Destined With You: My interest has waned a little bit now that the story has gotten more serious and Na-yeon has become even more twisted and annoying. I’m still watching for our OTP’s romance, but that’s about it. I really wish this story had been a rom-com from start to finish because Shin-yu/Ro-woon and Hong-jo/Boa shine brighter during their comedic and cutesy moments. If only this had been a drama about a woman finding a spell book and then accidentally navigating the unexpected consequences when it turned out the spells really worked. I’m usually all for a reincarnation romance, but not this time.
CEO-dol Mart: I started this one on whim, and I’m surprised that I’m actually looking forward to it each week. It’s cute, silly, brightly colored, and that’s really all I’m asking of it.
