Exhausted liberal; social scientist and lawyer by day, mediocre knitter and KDrama fan by night. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice . . . I hope. Oh, and tell your dog I said “Hi.”

#EYDC2025 Day 12: Platonic Relationship Another easy one. Our three heroes in Trauma Code. I didn’t expect to laugh as much as I did, but their performances were also moving. Can’t wait for the second season.
A scene from the KDrama Trauma Code where three main characters, all medical professionals, are in a standoff with one another in an emergency room.

#EYDC2025 Day 3: Favorite actor discovered - Choo Young Woo by a mile. He did 4 new #kdramas this year, playing 6 different characters (bc he had dual roles in 2 of those). He stole every scene he was in. And now, I will watch him in anything. #TaleofLadyOk #TraumaCode #MercyForNone #HeadOverHeels

#EYDC2025 - Day 2: I first saw Im Ji Yeon in #TheGlory (and was terrified of her). But this year she grabbed my attention in #TaleofLadyOk and #NiceNotToMeetYou. She can pretty much do anything — villain, hero, historical, and even slapstick comedy. Fan for life!

#Dramajoychallenge D18: Heartwarming Friendship. Easy — my favorite friend group in my fave #kdrama, #IntotheRing. Goo Se Ra & her high school friends [support][criticize][fight with][love] each other, pass the Bechdel test every episode. Just one of the perfect things abt this beautiful drama.

D15 #dramajoychallenge: Found Family Too many to choose from, but I pick #TaleofLadyOk — a story about a group of people who cling together through some serious adversity. Made me a fan for life of Im Ji Yeon and Choo Young Woo. Hon Men to storeowners in Geumga Plaza! #Vincenzo.

#Dramajoychallenge Day 12: Cameo Vincenzo represents Hong Hae In in the divorce in #QueenofTears. Couldn’t catch my breath, I was laughing so hard. #kdrama

Day 13 #dramajobchallenge — close call with Cho Hyeon Ju of Squid Game. But it has to be these two. DP is riveting, brutal, tragic. And Ahn Joon Ho and Han Ho Yul are affected by their work. (Played masterfully by Jung Hae In and Koo Kyo Hwan.) I can make myself cry just thinking abt S2-Ep3.

Day 3 #dramajobchallenge — Favorite Actors. 2 of my comfort dramas feature roles of actors. Kim Young Dae in Sh**ting Stars doing what he does best - comedy. And Choo Young Woo as the dreamy storyteller in Tale of Lady Ok.

Day 2 of #dramajobchallenge: I love medical dramas — big fan of Dr. Romantic and Hospital Playlist. But these three are my new favorites — #TraumaCode had everything I like about medical dramas, but they turned up the chaos and the funny. Sequel please!!! #kdrama

Late start on Day 1, where I’ve seen some of my faves — Atty Woo and Suspicious Partner. So I pick #TaleofLadyOk (brave, fierce, fighter for justice) and #JudgeFromHell (hilariously evil at first, the way most judges feel, I guess). #Kdrama #dramajobchallenge

And don’t sleep on his magical performance in Tale of Lady Ok. His best of 4 amazing performances.

#ShowMeYourKnits My temperature blanket. Mitten squares for each day showing the range of temperatures that day. Borders will be of days “left over.” Took forever but I’m pretty happy with it. Gifting it to nephew and niece.

It also reminded me of my parents who found each other early in life and were married for 50 years. Through all the joy and tragedy, having 2 daughters, in the end, they loved each other most in the world. Miss them every day.

#kdramachallenge Day 4: Powerful Performance. The cast of The Glory was amazing, especially the bullies. And of the bullies, Park Sung Hoon and Im Ji Yeon really stood out. (Thank you, Tale of Lady Ok, for making it possible for me to appreciate Im Ji Yeon as something other than a villain.)

#SquidGame2 Character Poster. In the latest in a series of amazing roles, #ParkSungHoon is Player #120. I haven’t recognized him in the trailers, but I wasn’t really looking for her. So. Excited. #KDrama

I watched all 20 episodes with my jaw clenched. That one show had the full spectrum of characters in everyday life in an office — the heroes and villains and everyone in between — with an amazing attention to detail — down to the sound of paper rustling. One of my life dramas.

This one is easy. Park Sung Hoon as a menacing, dangerous bad guy. (The photo is from The Glory but could be from a half dozen other, slightly different roles.) AND as the greenest of green flags and best-ever boyfriend in Into the Ring.

#EYDC2023 Day 20: Kdrama that made me cry — D.P. 2. Every episode. Many of them loud ugly sobbing. (Did not realize the impression D.P. made on me until doing this challenge.)

#EYDC2023 Day 9 — non-2023 KDrama: Mostly 1st seasons — Taxi Driver, Dr. Romantic, DP. Signal’s also great. But the best: Into the Ring — good pacing, good story, best women friends, believable villains, and THE perfect romance; the FL and ML simply adore each other, no matter what. My life drama!

#EYDC2023- Day 8 — Best Kdrama Supporting Role: definitely Jang Sung Min in DP2 (played by Bae Na Ra). Thought about that story for days, and that performance just lingered with me. Beautiful!

Day 3 - The easiest! Discovered Park Sung Hoon binging The Glory in January. It was his year — he was great in Not Others and Kidnapping Day too. But I found my “life kdrama” in Into the Ring ❤️. Playing both Jae Joon and Gong? The man can act!

#EYDC2023 Day 1: “Found” Pyo Ye Jin this year (Taxi Driver, Moon in the Day), and Yu Na was great in Kidnapping Day. But I have to give this to Nana (saw Into the Ring this year).
