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…

Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938: Episode 7 was just about the best thing I’ve watched all year, and while I know that’s not saying much since it’s been kind of a bum year for dramas thus far, this drama really and truly is exceeding my expectations every week. Great character moments and even greater characters make this so much fun. One of the few dramas where I don’t mind the expanding universe/storyline/seasons.

Doctor Cha: I love this drama, but I’m so afraid I’m going to hate the finale. I don’t want Jung-sook to get sick again because it’s very obvious that In-ho will offer up his liver on the condition she won’t divorce him, and that pisses me off so much. Even if it gets resolved in a way that appeases me, I don’t want to spend my last two episodes with these characters frustrated that a precious chunk of time is dedicated to more of In-ho’s awful (but often comically dumb) behavior. As much as I want my ship to sail, I’d be fine if nothing happens between her and Dr. Dreamboat! Just give me two episodes of Jung-sook living her best life!
Oh! Young-shim: It’s cute, but this is not the Love is for Suckers do-over I was hoping for.
My Perfect Stranger: On paper, this should be the drama I look forward to each week. Time travel, romance, murder mystery, two of my favorite actors — all elements that should put it at the top of my priority list. And yet, this is the drama that I come to after I’ve caught up on everything else. Not sure why this is the case because I can’t point to anything that annoys me or puts me off. Maybe it’s a pacing issue? In that it moves slowly and doesn’t quite leave me hanging in suspense, wanting more? I’m wondering if this would be a drama that I’m better off pausing and then bingeing when it’s complete.
