#My Secret Terrius

[goawaywithjae]

I'm ready for another So Ji-sub K-drama anytime soon, please... How about you? But in the meantime, I've reviewed two of his films (ALWAYS and BE WITH YOU) and six of his KDramas. Let me know if you've seen any of them!

[weshallflyaway]

Tough guy secret agent not knowing how to select the right emoji for the situation and then agonising over accidentally selecting the wrong one is actually so relatable.

[mercyisms]

I don’t know if you watch kdramas or not but there’s this really cute kdrama called Terius Behind Me(2018)/My Secret Terrius and it’s so retired Ghost coded with a few changes of course. But anyways just imagine retired spec ops ghost ending up as an unlikely babysitter(and future stepdad) for his next door neighbor’s kids, who’s also a single mom and unintentionally involved in a conspiracy because of her dead husband.

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE. I DON'T WATCH K DRAMAS. BUT THIS REMINDS ME OF:

LIKE NOT ENTIRELY. BUT. THE SIMILARITIES ARE THERE. AND I'M FULL ON GIGGLING.

this is SO dramatic, but still... my greatest fear if norrix/kirsi end up together is if it feels like a case of pair up the spares. like i want them to end up together bc they're fascinating characters individually and i'm beyond curious to see them interact more and spark off each other, and i'm v. taken in how they're opposites and similar to each other.

like i want them to feel right for each other! not... oh norrix has to get over lucia ~somehow~ and oh, isn't it convienient that reimund is dead?

like. the problems of a small cast. it annoys me so much. and like!!! i can be done! like fruit baskets did an excellent job with yuki/machi, (despite my otp yuki/tohru being motherzoned, le woe) where it's two fascinating characters at an impasse, and the crossroads where they meet, again and again and fall in love over time. (tbf, fruits basket cast was huge, but i think yuki/machi falling in love felt organic and not 'well i guess we should date now bc no one should ever end up single and we gotta get rid of yuki/tohru side of the triangle through motherzoning'. and the kdrama my secret terrius/terrius behind me, where i was annoyed that fl's husband died in the first episode... but by the end i was SO charmed by ml and fl's friendship that i was actually rooting for them to kiss.

i mean, i guess it's fine if suitor armor ends with kirsi a widow and norrix single. i can write the fanfic, ig! i can construct an elaborate headcanon bc i do nothing else.

but like. one fear, among many.

Tall, muscular and stereotypically manly men will always look damn good in feminine frilly aprons and the fact that this isn't an everyday thing is a curse upon humanity

[misscrawfords]

I just finished My Secret Terrius which I think I've watched more quickly than any other kdrama!

It was sooooo good.

I heard that they were thinking of a second season. Where is it, dammit? You can't set up a couple with a spy-fake-marriage-in-New-York plot in the final episode and not expect me to want more??

At the very least, I hope there's some good fanfic.

Anyway, it was reeeally good!

[kdramarrookie]

I know we are supposed to hate him cause hes a horrible villian and all that but i just bloody love the way jin-yong tae always says "okay"

[kdramaxoxo]

Where can I watch terius behind me?

I’m so bummed that My Secret Terrius/Terius Behind Me is no longer on Viki.com. It’s where I watched it, twice. It was also on Kocowa but I don’t have that anymore, and I have a feeling it’s not on there either. Turns out it is still on Kocowa, but you’d have to pay a monthly fee to watch. 

It’s 100% worth watching, so if you’d like to do that for free, try dr*m*nice . so (the * are “a”s.)

You can also watch it on dr*m*cool. 

I know you’ll love it!

Dramas I’ve Been Watching in February

I was going to wait till the very end of the month but I’ve already written the post so… Thoughts are under the cut like last time, and I tried not to include spoilers.

Crash Landing on You (finished)

I’ve already mentioned this one last month. Also it’s been all over my blog for a while now. My post about the finale.

The spoiler-free version is that I loved the journey this drama took me on. Did I love the ending? No, but it wasn’t bad. It was just okay.

The romance ticked off most of my favourite tropes and the acting was flawless.

Se Ri is such a good character. Businesswomen are often portrayed as cold and heartless, and it’s kind of how she’s perceived in SK, but it quickly becomes obvious that she’s anything but. She’s extremely warm, funny and charismatic, and if she trusts someone (basically, if they’re not her family) she actually shows her vulnerable side. Also it’s great to see her thrive when she’s around people who care about her.

Great ensemble. The secondary characters are so attaching. The non-evil ones I mean.

Extraordinary You (ep6 of 16)

Teenager figures out that she’s a comic book character and, unhappy with the direction of her story, takes matters into her own hands.

It’s still early on for me but I love this fresh take on the concept. I actually don’t know where this is headed, and I’m anticipating the twists and turns.

I love a heroine who takes charge of her life.

Mysterious love interest is adorable and getting more fleshed out and compelling every episode. I can’t hate Baek Kyung though. At least not so far.

Joy of Life (ep36 of 46)

Mentioned last month.

I’m still enjoying this one a lot. It’s as funny and interesting as ever.

Wan’er doesn’t get that much screentime but she’s a great character. I loved that scene with the princess in ep30 or 31.

I’m still in love with Fan Xian.

Forest (ep12 of 32)

Businessman and demoted surgeon are reunited in a countryside village when he becomes a rescue worker for all the wrong reasons.

This one comes with plenty of mysterious childhood trauma and fate.

Gorgeous forest shots.

Park Hae Jin’s character has a soft side, but I have to say he often rubs me the wrong way with his attitude and values. Although he is changing. Jo Bo Ah’s is a lot more likeable, but I’m not in love either? BUT they have an interesting love-hate dynamic that I really like.

It feels like I can predict where the story is going and I’m not sure I’m going to like all of it, but we’ll see!

Chocolate (finished)

Mentioned previously.

I ended up liking it a lot.

The hospice setting was original, you don’t see too many kdramas speaking about palliative care. And if they do it tends to be about one particular character who’s dying.

Lots of food. Lots of heartbreak, which comes with the territory.

I loved the kids and their conversations with adults.

Lee Jun, who isn’t one of the leads, ended up becoming my favourite character. I found that I could relate to him more. Like, honestly I wrote a whole post about that and then I got self-conscious and didn’t publish it.

The romance at the centre of the story is somehow the least memorable thing for me, although there were a few great emotional moments. Usually tearful ones.

Terrius Behind Me | My Secret Terrius (finished)

Fugitive spy turns into the perfect babysitter for his neighbour, while investigating her husband’s murder.

I’d watched 4 episodes back in november, and kind of picked up where I’d left it.

It’s a lovely, heartwarming drama. Terrius with the kids makes for great comedy. That and the network of neighbourhood sort-of-spies, stay-at-home parents.

Go Ae Rin is a lovely, resilient character.

Yes there’s some big conspiracy and spy stuff but ultimately it’s more of a drama about two people dealing with the loss of a loved one in different ways, and learning that they can lean and rely on each other. (And their community.)

Find Yourself (ep19 of 42)

Supervisor and intern 10 years her junior begin a secret office romance.

Full disclosure: I skipped significant parts of these 19 episodes, that happens when I’m watching stuff really late at night and I need to know what happens next. Not before ep9 or so though.

The drama gives a great insight into the kind of pressure chinese women may feel to get married and have children by a certain age. For that reason, many interactions are very frustrating to watch.

So many characters dismiss He Fan Xing’s every accomplishment because she’s single, and I really want to slap some sense into them. She’s 32 but everyone acts like she has one foot in the grave.

Also very frustrating: the plot. As funny and entertaining as it can be, I get mad at the many misunderstandings and entangled relationships. I hate it when I can see the trainwreck coming episodes in advance. Maybe that’s just a “me” thing. It makes me anxious, which is why I’m currently taking a break from it. I think I’ll try to finish it though.

In a way it’s a great guide to what not to do in a relationship. I guess they’ll end up together in the end, but it’s not a smooth ride. Like, I hate how at some point she just assumes he can’t afford the gift he gave her and returns it without telling him! Girl, learn to communicate. There’s lots of lies on both sides tbh.

They do have chemistry though! Also Zhang Yu Jian from Le Coup de Foudre plays the main character’s brother and I enjoy seeing him in this completely different role a lot. I had no idea he had this whole range of facial expressions due to the fact that Yan Mo had a blank face 99% of the time.

My Holo Love (finished)

Lonely, faceblind woman ends up with expensive AI, falls in love with it. Unless it’s the hot human lookalike she’s into…

It’s only 12 ep, perfect if you like shorter dramas.

I can believe a human falling in love with an AI very easily, but the AI becoming sentient is usually were my brain draws the line. It’s still a very enjoyable drama. The hologram aspect gives it a fresh twist. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of relationship portrayed between an AI and its maker.

These are two very good-looking people. Not that the other dramas don’t have pretty actors but, just saying.

Best thing about it: it has a proper ending, which is a rarity for netflix shows. I hope they make more like this from now on.
