Good Job: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. The scene when Don Sera was shocked to see Sunwoo’s naked torso had me laughing. It reminded me of that scene in “Bossam” when the Widow/Princess saw Bawoo’s body.

I haven’t forgotten about cdrama, “Love Between Fairy and Devil.” I stopped at Episode 18. Here are the new dramas I’m watching this month. […]
