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…

Twenty Five Twenty One: Sigh, I love this drama so much that it’s actually difficult for me to watch it. There’s something in the nostalgia and the relationship between Hee-do and Yi-jin that I just feel down to my toes. Also, I am getting the unsettling feeling that this drama will be my next Answer Me 1988 — the drama you can’t think about without feeling a hole in your chest.
Business Proposal: On a lighter note, I love Business Proposal just as much, even though they’re entirely different dramas. Twenty Five Twenty One has the writing that makes me hold my breath; Business Proposal has the delightful story-world that I just want to jump into so I can live there for a bit. From the cast of characters, to our noble heroes, to the girl besties that I can’t get enough of — this is definitely a drama I will be returning to.

Twenty Five Twenty One: Welp, I (sort of) succumbed to PPL this week. Episodes 9 and 10 hit me right in my nostalgia for ’90s fashion, so I immediately went online and purchased a pair of wide-leg jeans similar to — but probably waaaaaay cheaper than — the ones Hee-do wore during her car trip to the beach. Yay, new clothes! I needed the little pick-me-up after adult Hee-do said she didn’t remember the beach trip. Fingers crossed we aren’t going to get pummeled by a bunch of sad stuff. I need a happy ending for Hee-do and Yi-jin!
Through the Darkness: This was such a well written drama. Can’t say that it has a high re-watch value for me, though. A bit too dark for that, but it was enjoyable to keep up with each week as it aired. Thinking about it puts me in the mood for a thriller, so I might have to go through my unwatched list and pick something suspenseful.

Business Proposal: Young-seo continues to have my heart this week — I love her pettiness in committing to Sung-hoon’s request to not cross the line. The way she fanned the steam from her bowl of udon back to her side of the line was absolutely hilarious! I’m also really glad that Young-seo found out about the spycam on her own, and that Sung-hoon leapt right into action to help her. That flying kick was badass! So much for maintaining boundaries, heh. Young-seo and Hari’s friendship is amazing as always, and I love how Young-seo stood up for Hari against their snooty friends. Also, I’m pleasantly surprised that Tae-mu’s petty revenge didn’t last long; once he realised how difficult playing dual personas was for Hari and that he had unknowingly caught feelings, he cut it off cleanly (or well, tried to) in a refreshing show of maturity. The beach not-a-date that he planned for her was so sweet! I’m looking forward to all the fake-boyfriend swoons next week.
