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…

My Unfamiliar Family: My feelings for this show are too big for words. It was just such a beautiful, sometimes painful, journey and I’m so happy I had this show in my life.
Graceful Friends: If A Couple’s World was a bomb thrown through my screen, Graceful Friends is the drama version of a Rubik’s Cube. At first, I thought I had a solid grasp on the scheming and that we were looking at one big revenge plot. But now, it seems like there’s more than one person looking for payback and I’m not sure where or who all these threads lead back to.

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay: I guessed the “twist” regarding Moon-young’s mom almost from the start, but I was hoping it wouldn’t go such an obvious route. It’s a bit more melodramatic and stereotypical than I wanted here. I think we’re headed into pre-finale angst territory which is usually my least favorite stretch. External conflicts, here we come.
Train: Yeah… I’m dropping this. I had hoped this wouldn’t feel like a straight-up procedural given the sci-fi element, but oh well.
Flower of Evil: I went into this for Lee Jun-ki and Moon Chae-won, but I was leery that it’d be another run-of-the-mill detective/serial killer show. Although it has elements of a crime procedural, having Hee-sung be the main character and focusing on his personal life à la Dexter makes it more compelling for me. So far, I like it, and I’ll probably stick with it unless it settles into a typical cop-chasing-serial-killer show.
United Effort to Accomplish One Thing: This drama makes me appreciate being poor.
