I'm moving in 5 weeks and should be packing but instead I'm researching healer for the 3rd time. My priorities are so messed up.

hyperhawk Also @GondorGirl never picked out a drama for me to watch with the kitties before she left 7y

I celebrated the end of #24in48 by watching a show I had to read.

Here's a better shot of the corporate library I posted about a couple days back. I know in my heart that all Korean companies have libraries like this. K-dramas wouldn't lie to me about something so important.

K-Dramas have left me with the impression that all large Korean companies provide their employees with an on-site library filled with fun books as well as professional development stuff. Is this true? Please tell me it's true.

UrsulaMonarch 😲 what a concept!! 7y

Currently watching this k-drama "While You Were Sleeping" and I love it so far!! I love the plot and the humour is perfect! Also a big fan of Lee Jong Suk. Bae Suzy not so much but she's good in this!!

BeezleMcfly If you wanna curl up and cry in a corner check out Autumn Tales. Classicccc! I hate watching K-drama now because I envy their hair too much ಠ_ಠ 7y
GondorGirl @hyperhawlk Have you watched this one? 7y
hyperhawk I just watched this one 7y

swatreads @BeezleMcfly Autumn Tales and Autumn In My Heart are the same right? If yes I've watched that one! Such a tear jerker😭😭😭 Lol yeah!! They have such perfect hair!!! 😍 and also if u are into kpop, I find jimin's (BTS) hair so good! Dyed or not!! It's angelic😍 7y
BeezleMcfly Yes that one! Mannnnn! The poor biological mom brought me tears so bad. I have a friend from Amsterdam that floods my text with nothing but Jimin and J-Hop Gifs everyday -_-. I grew up more With G-Dragon and T.O.P but yes, they are all great! 7y
swatreads @BeezleMcfly Yeah it was the saddest drama I ever watched😑 oh haha😂I like little jungkook among them😂 I got into Kpop kind of recently..mayb a couple of years. More into k-drama ☺ 7y
BeezleMcfly K drama is surely more...interesting. But theres only so much where I'm like...okay I'm not in the mood to cry lol. And speaking of some KPop/Kdrama , JYJ-In heaven..kleenex is a must need for this music video! 7y
swatreads @BeezleMcfly Haha yes!! These days I'm watching more of romcoms than melodramas to avoid more tears😁 and only treat myself to a melodrama once in a while😁 omg ur right about JYJ- in heaven. Koreans make such beautiful MV's. 7y
BeezleMcfly When it comes to romcoms...Sex is zero is by far the funnniestttt movie I have ever seen EVERR! 7y
swatreads @BeezleMcfly Oh I haven't watched that! Will check it out!! Thank you🤗🤗 7y

When I'm not reading books, I mostly watch K-drama ❤❤ I'm so glad I discovered them! I don't know what I'd do without them! Honestly! They are the best😍😍 Currently watching School 2017 and it's so amazing!
#nonreadingpursuits

Sace Yassss! The last one I watched was Shipping King Louie. Let's Fight, Ghost was my husband's favorite. For some reason we mainly watch in the summer. 7y
swatreads @RestlessFickleBookSlut Wow!! I had been meaning to watch Shopping King Louie since forever! I watched one episode of it with my husband and for some reason we didn't watch the rest of the episodes. Let's fight Ghost was daebak😍😍 Oh hehe😀😀 I'm obsessed with it! What are you favourite ones? 7y
JamieArc My husband and I are currently making our way through Six Flying Dragons. It is taking us SOO long to finish the 50ish episodes but we love it! 7y

My current drama TOTALLY counts as reading because I don't speak Korean and so rely on the subtitles.

(I'm sad this one has such a low rating, too. I love it, despite some dodgy morality surrounding ghostly possession.)

Sace My husband and I loved this one! I let my students count subtitles as reading. 😊 7y
xicanti @RestlessFickleBookSlut they can make for pretty intense reading, too, because you miss 'em if you look away. Gotta pay attention. 7y
Sace Exactly! 7y

I started watching Goblin, the Korean drama series that everyone is raving about, and I'm hooked! I'm pretty sure I'll keep binge watching it until I finish the whole series. So I probably won't have time to read in the next few days.😂😭 Do you watch k-dramas? What are the ones you've loved?

Sace Yes! Let's see... My Love From Another Star, Let's Fight Ghost, Master's Sun, Oh My Ghostess, The Girl Who Can See Smells, Oh My Venus, Greatest Love. Oh! The goblin from Goblin also did Coffee Prince. It's another good one. Queen In-hyun's Man, Beautiful Gong Shim. Er. We watch a lot of K-drama... 7y
Chachic @Sace Wow, looks like you're a huge k-drama fan! I used to watch a lot of them years ago, my faves were Princess Hours and My Girl. Everyone has been raving about Goblin and it's available on iflix so I decided to try it out. Have you seen it?😊 7y
BookThingo @Sace I second Coffee Prince! @Chachic 7y

Chachic @BookThingo @Sace That series has been recommended multiple times before! I need to finish watching Goblin first. 7y
Sace @Chachic Yes. Goblin is probably the most gorgeous K-drama I've ever seen. It's amazing. 7y
BookThingo @Chachic We can swap! Goblin is on my to-watch list. 7y
Chachic @BookThingo Watch it na, Kat! So we can fangirl together. Although I'll probably finish it in the next couple of days. 7y
Chachic @Sace Princess Hours was awesome too! But I love the mythology behind Goblin, and also the modern winter wardrobe. Haha it's perpetually summer here in the Philippines so the sweaters and coats look pretty cool. 7y
Sace @Chachic I watch K-drama almost as much for the clothes! 7y
Chachic @Sace Love the cute outfits of the Goblin and the Grim Reaper! 7y
swatreads Wow!! I was looking for Kdrama fans on Litsy and car across your profile😀 Goblin was daebak!! So Good!! My favourite Kdramas are She was Pretty, My girl, My love from another star, Coffee Prince, Boys over flowers, The Heirs, You are beautiful, Fated to love you, Rooftop Prince, Legend of the blue sea etc.....😂 7y
swatreads *came 7y
Chachic @swatreads I loved My Girl and Princess Hours! I need to watch Coffee Prince soon but friends said I need to be prepared that it's outdated. I haven't started any new k-dramas yet because I know it would eat up my reading time.🤣🤣🤣 7y
swatreads @Chachic Haha yes your friends are probably right about Coffee Prince but younger, cute Gong Yoo will probably make up for it😂😂 Totally! I'm jumping between Kdramas and books but trying so much to stick to one episode a day so that I'll get more reading time😂 7y
Chachic @swatreads Yassss Gong Yoo!💕 It's so hard to stick to just one episode a day so I'm holding off on starting a new series hahaha 7y
