For romcoms that aren't seemingly compelled by law to include serial killers & bloody trauma like post-2015 #kDrama "romcoms" you may need to go abroad. #cDrama #HiddenLove #WhenIFlyTowardsYou #FakeItTillYouMakeIt #jDrama #TheReasonsWeFallInLove #twDrama #ImMarriedBut

talking about the excellent #twDrama #ImMarriedBut reminded me that my reaction to its plot was itself a savage reminder of how old I am:

I thought "It's the Piña Colada ending!" 🤣👴

One of the nicest surprises about skimming the to-me VERY new fangirlverdict site (thanks again, @jamesdramac.bsky.social !) is how much love is shown to one of my three "10+" Dramas of 2025 - a Mandarin Drama, but not a #cDrama

Hooray for more people loving #twDrama #ImMarriedBut

Challenging! IDK about 2 seconds, but here are some that grabbed my interest within 2 minutes
#twDrama #ImMarriedBut

& for sheer OMG LOL makjang from the opening frames , #kDrama #EonniIsAlive / #BandofSisters - still the MOST makjang opening I've seen

10.5/10 for #TWDrama #ImMarriedBut a painful watch at first, then the character growth began. After hundreds of #KDrama it was bizarre & unsettling to see characters USE THEIR WORDS & TALK stuff out. Ko Chia Yen & Liu Yi Hao were given great material & delivered it superbly.

A woman is frowning or squinting and the text underneath the imge reads "Just look at Aragaki Yui"

Sorry, #TWDrama #ImMarriedBut this advice is a bit redundant, seeing as how I've done a WHOLE LOT of looking at Aragaki Yui in the last month, rewatching 2 of her Dramas - one for the 5th time and one for the 4th. 😍 #JDrama

#TWDrama #ImMarriedBut getting more substantial as it goes on "He may not know how to be a good husband, but he'll definitely make a great dad" this line reminded me of a relative's family. The mum left her 3 kids partly because 'he didn't know how to be a good husband" but he did turn out an ok dad

About to start ep5 of #TWDrama #ImMarriedBut - if #SomedayOrOneDay Ko Chia Yen's character makes it through without exsanguinating Liu Yi Hao's character, I'll be #PleasantlySurprised

I'm only watching #IMMarriedBut at the moment. Ko Chia Yen is awesome as always and her pairing with Liu Yi Hao is as good as I hoped. Although I wasn't expecting it to be a murder mystery - as in "how the HELL has she not murdered him?"

Also any Drama where the meet-cute is bonding over RAID setups and the difference between consumer and commercial SSDs is VERY promising🙂 #TWDrama #ImMarriedBut

Watching #TWDrama #ImMarriedBut and thinking about the absurdity of castigating someone for dropping a Drama because of not liking an actor's appearance. I'm watching 2 actors I find VERY appealing to look at and loving it and that's fine, apparently, but the opposite is somehow not fine? 🙄

#Immarriedbut 10, 11 y 12, un pequeño maratón para acabar la serie, ternura en los últimos episodios con final feliz 🙂.
Se puede ver si no has encontrado nada mejor o haced una patada entre serie y serie. 7/10.
Prefiero a los coreanos.

#Immarriedbut 8 y 9:
La pareja decide tener un bebé y se pone a ello, el sexo se vuelve un deber y el bebé no viene. Pasan a realizarse estudios de infertilidad y entran en conflicto.
Son menos elegantes que las series coreanas, a veces algo zafios, se parecen a las series españolas.

#Immarriedbut 6 y 7:
Hoy una compañera de la protagonista ha tenido el parto en casa 🏠 si hay algo que odio es eso. Las mujeres africanas andan o van en moto 🏍 100 km para tener el parto en un medio hospitalario y estás pijas paren en casa 🏠 para que sea natural.
Te voy a dar naturaleza.

#Immarriedbut 3, esta serie china es un hallazgo, comentan los problemas matrimoniales entre los 30 y los 40 sin acritud, al menos yo lo veo así porque estoy lejos de esa edad.
No sé cómo acabará, pero dan ganas de que se divorcien. Sólo soy romántica en mis libros 📚
