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: This continues to be so fun! I love the bros, but honestly Kim So-yeon is stealing the show for me. The character that seemed a bit one-note in Week 1 is actually much more layered and interesting and I love everything about her wild, out of the box ways.
Oh! Young-shim: Hah, this is just the wacky old school drama I thought it would be, and I can’t get enough of the sound effects and just hyperbolic nature of the storytelling. But what I really love is Lee Jae-min (he’s one of the rookies I’m rooting for these days). Bring on the SLS! It’s been a while since I wept in agony with a second male lead.

Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938: I’m not sure I care about the plot of this show at all, but I’m not sure I care about not caring, either. I could watch episodes on episodes of just Yeon and Rang bickering, our foxes babysitting, blindfolded swordfights, and the like and be perfectly content! Plus, we’ve got a trio of old friends who fell apart (on top of the brothers with a turbulent past!), which might be my ultimate catnip. So okay, I guess I care a little about the plot — just not how it relates (or doesn’t) to Season 1.

The Good Bad Mother: Young-soon stresses me. All I can think of while watching her “tough love” scenes with Kang-ho is, “Get him away from her!!” No form of abuse can be justified with love, I’m sorry.
Doctor Cha: Dr. Cha needs to divorce her husband stat! And I like me a good McDreamy, but for some reason, I don’t want a romance between Cha and Dr. Roy.
Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938: This is my happy place every week, and I’m not here for the plot. I’m quite satisfied with the chaos, the bromance, and the eccentricity of Kim So-yeon’s character. PS: Does anyone know the criteria for enrollment into the Fox daycare?

Finland Papa: This was a sweet little show that I think will be perfect for a Christmas rewatch. (Actually, why wasn’t it released around Christmas?) My favorite aspects of this drama were the colors and camera angles, but I also loved the fairy tale-ish aspect of the story. I was hoping to see more of the reunion between the leads but I understand why they didn’t stretch it out any longer. Anyway, pretty to look at and makes me feel warm and fuzzy? Yes, please! More of that.
