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…

Bros on Foot: Yes, I needed to watch Joo Ji-hoon and Ha Jung-woo run around a field herding sheep.

Through the Darkness: I haven’t made much progress on this one, but that’s more a time constraint issue than a lack of interest. I enjoy every minute of it when I’m watching it, though!
The Heavenly Idol: If the first two episodes are a good indication, this is exactly what I’d hoped it would be — weird and even a little silly, but earnestly so, and overall a wildly entertaining ride. And there were some surprising emotional moments that really resonated. While I love our gentle devoted high priest, my insta-favorite is the perpetually stressed Wild Animal leader. Poor guy is just trying SO hard to make things work for himself and his teammates.

Strangers Again: In principle, I love all the ideas in this show, but it went off track somewhere in terms of carrying them out. Having Shi-wook take care of the home and kid would be a great solution if he and Bi-chwi were in a relationship beforehand (and really liked each other). But with the forced situation, something feels off (first and foremost, I’m still not sure she actually wants a kid). I’d like to see this same scenario in a different drama, where the couple is in a healthy relationship and it’s a planned thing. And with Ha-ra and Eun-bum — I wish they’d just go their separate ways. I don’t want to see either character give in, I just want them apart.
