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…

See You in My 19th Life: Admittedly I’m enjoying this drama a little less, because traumatized Seo-ha is really getting to me. However, I’m loving the twists and dives into Ji-eum’s past lives, and I wish we could spend more time there. And also, more Do-yoon x Cho-won please. The “I am pining but won’t let myself be with you” tension is really working for me.
King the Land: The hype was so strong for Episode 8 that I found myself completely spoiled by the time I got to sit down and watch it. Thus, it didn’t hit as hard as it would have otherwise. It meaning The Kiss. While I’m totally with @dramaddictally in that it felt like unearned tension, I’m also all for Won being madly and happily in love forever and ever. Watching him watch her has been the highlight of this drama to me. Also, the idea of tension (earned or otherwise) also comes at an interesting point in the drama, because I was just thinking there’s really been no impediments to their romance at all — but now I’m expecting the second half of the drama will be just that. Because Won and Sa-rang can’t just be happily in love for the entire second half of the drama. That wouldn’t be right.

King the Land: Oh, myyyyyyyyy (said in George Takei’s voice). That kiss scene was everything. A lot of great (and cheeky) scenes in last weekend’s episodes, of course, but the moment Won asked Sa-rang for permission to kiss her, I was undone. If the kitchen hadn’t already caught on fire and set off the sprinkler system, then that kiss would have! It’s been nearly seven days, and I’m still fanning myself.
Numbers: Not caught up with this one, but I was surprised to find myself getting sucked into the story. I think I might prefer to binge watch this one once it’s done, though. A lot of the accounting stuff goes over my head, and since the information builds somewhat, I’m prone to forgetting what I previously learned if I have to wait in between episodes.
