Since Halloween 2026 is growing closer and the new Carrie show just came out, I decided it was time to talk…
In the new Carrie, all I know is this, that unlike the new show, the book does not take place in modern times, it is set in the late 70’s.
So this book by Stephen King was his first published one, did you know? And it is not a regular book, it mixes the story with newspaper snippets, book excerpts, and reports about what happened at the end, but do not believe me on pace or what that is like, I have not read it.
I’m sure you love KDramas as much as I do, but if you came here looking for a list of dramas like Scarlet Heart Ryeo… I understand that. I’ve been there too, staring at my screen like, “there has to be something that feels the same.” But the truth is, it depends.
If you want some of the elements of it, yes, I have a list for you.
But if you’d like that same multiple characters arc, drama, Goryeo, love, tragic, and so many other genres thrown in there in a perfect blend? There are none, unless you go and read the book (Bu Bu Jing Xin) or watch the Chinese TV show, I think it is a show.
But I haven’t watched or read the original story because it is in Chinese, and I haven’t found an official book translation.
Welcome to the blog. As you might have read before, I did a special post for Stranger Things when season 4 was out and finished, but after that? Silence from me.
Why? There are reasons, and yes, I will tell you know, but beware, this has spoilers, so continue at your own peril.
Welcome! As some of you are interested in the show, and I will watch it eventually. I thought it was only fair to update you on the latest. The last news I had was more reluctant, giving in to the pressure on my side.
But this time, I have a calmer approach. 🤭
What’s new with the upcoming HBO Harry Potter Tv show?
We have, as far as I have seen and read online, most of the cast. The Weasleys. Harry. Hermione. And I am not sure if all of the professors at Hogwarts, but at least the main ones.
Orson Matthews has joined the cast as the spirited and passionate Gryffindor Quidditch team captain, Oliver Wood. He is joined by talented team members, Asha Soetan as the incredible Angelina Johnson, Eire Farrell as the amazing Katie Bell, and Serrana Su-Ling Bliss as the delightful Alicia Spinnet, making for an exciting and dynamic lineup!
I hope that Alicia Spinnet and Katie Bell get more camera time, we knew them well in the books, along with Angelina.
Welcome to a mini update, and a bookish one that I didn’t know was moving so fast to completion.
There are some movies coming to the big screens this 2026, other than Sunrise on the Reaping that is. We already knew about it, and we are waiting anxiously and excitedly for it.
As you know, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo is one of my favourite KDramas, it stars IU and Lee Joon-Gi, two actors I have started to believe are top-notch and I would watch anything with them in it.
So, I was browsing around, checking other dramas that are similar because why not? And while The King: Eternal Monarch did came up as a suggestion is not 100% focused on ‘time travel’, I know, I have watched that one like four times, I really like it.
Also, spoiler into this blog post, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, is not on the list, one because I didn’t know that was the plot of the story, and two I didn’t want to read anything else about and spoil it for myself further.
That said, here are 5 Time-Travel dramas for you if you loved Moon Lovers.
Be advised, I haven’t watched these, so I cannot say if they are the best thing ever. It is only a list of recommendation, and it acts as a list for me, too.
The accuracy with which Netflix recommended this one to me was uncanny. By chapter 3 I was super hooked and ready to continue watching. 🥔
But in episode 1 I was still on the fence and it took me a couple of days to finish it. 🙃
Main Characters
Lee Sun-Bin as Kim Mi-Kyung
Kang Tae-oh as So Baek-Ho
Lee Hak-Joo as Park Gi-Se
Kim Ga-Eun as Lee Ong-Joo (A web novelist, and BFF of our LF character)
Shin Hyun-Seung as Kim Hwan-Kyeong (Mi-Kyeong younger brother, who runs an AirB’B in the back of his house, like a whole apartment there for guests)
There is also The Potato Lab team, and other sides ones, but for the sake of me, I will focus on the main ones.
The Story
The story is a bit crazy, and all over the place if you don’t pay attention, but once you know, it gets easier to follow it to the final episode.
However, this is my warning, there might be spoilers ahead.
The Potato Lab is essentially a funny show with romance, or romantic comedy, it follows Kim Mi-Kyung as she works herself off in her job, only to have it threatened by HR when management changes and her skills are put to question, because she doesn’t have a degree or a specialty in the field in the lab, but she is just proving what a lot of people has proven, that you don’t need a degree to do something that you know how to do, I certainly don’t and I got two jobs already in the same field (An Outreach Specialist in my muggle job, if you were wondering).
In any case, So Baek-Ho (the lead MC) is, of course, the one who will fire her, and essentially her boss as he is transferred to The Lab, as the story progresses these two have personalities that clash way too much, but underneath that often cold demeanor of Baek-Ho, hold and behold, a charming personality, and a helping one, too.
But if you ask me, there is nothing like the story of Mi-Kyung’s brother and Lee Ong-Ju, the best friend who lives with them, because yes, they all live in the same house in a small town, because, why not? So these two are close, and always on top of each other, Hwan-Kyeong confessed, it seems, a bunch of times to her, but she always rejected him, and from the beginning of the story I was following that up, eager to know more, but also because Ong-Ju is a writer, and that just made me latch on and relate, I found her character fascinating.
Of course, as the story progressed, they put those old feelings into questions, and living together even more so. I warned you there were spoilers, but I won’t say how it all happened in the end, but I will say this: it was awesome.
I like that part of the story in equals measures with the main story to be honest, I did enjoy the whole show, how the main two hang out more, talked, fought, and all the good bits of a show that is meant to make you laugh and entertained with the romance developing.
I know, I’m not saying everything that happened, but I cannot help myself, I cannot give all the details.
In any case, I hadn’t watched a show with these two actors (I haven’t watched Squad 38, Sketch, Thirty-Nine, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, or Doom at Your Service) but still, Netflix decided to recommend it, and I clicked yes, and well, here we are. I really liked it.
Now, I am a fan of these two, and Let’s Go to the Moon (new show) is on my list, is with Lee Sun-bin and I’ve watched a few snippets on TV, pretty cool.
But yes, that’s me, I recommend The Potato Lab if you like weird, funny, romance shows.
Have you watched 감자연구소?
Let me know in the comments if you liked it? Or you want more shows recommendations.
Thank you for sticking to the end, dearies, and see you on the next one! Oh, and don’t forget to like, share, and follow if you’re not. 🍟
