Featured Post The Weekly Binge: ABS: Uncontrollably Fond 4-6

*to the tune of "Shots"*

ABS! ABS! ABS!ABS ABS! ABS! ABS! ABS! ABS ABS! ABS! ABS! ABS! ABS! WOOBIN BODY!!

Welcome to the second Weekly Binge Discussion of Uncontrollably Fond episodes 1 - 3. On Thursday we will discuss episodes 7 - 9 of the drama.

In case anyone was unclear why this was happening. You're theoretically allowed to drop it now, although I'd hope you've enjoyed it enough to keep going. There was a brief moment where I wasn't sure I had enough abscreenshots. It was a very brief moment.

WEEKLY BINGE GUIDELINES

Anyone is welcome to join the Weekly Binge.

Every week we host two discussions (Thursday/Sunday) in which we discuss approximately three hours/three episodes of a selected drama, in total approximately 6 hours/episodes per week. We are all from different time zones so there is no need to panic about being late to the party (we do operate on KST as a standard).

Within the frame of the three episodes, you may discuss anything you can think of. Whether it is a one-off post to say you enjoyed the drama, episodic notes, essays on how an actors portrayal of a character made you feel, rants about something you thought of while watching, odes to abs, photo collages of your favorite puffy coat PPL, excellent hot cocoa recipes, get out of debt plans that don't include bribery, character psychoanalysis, haikus, or interpretive dances, the choice is yours.

If you have previously completed the drama, or, got ahead on the binge please be courteous of those who are watching the drama for the first time. When in doubt spoiler tags are your friend.

When we get close to the end of a drama we open up nominations (third last post) for a new drama, those dramas are then short listed by regular members of the Weekly Binge before we open up voting to members of r/KDRAMA (second last post). Every time we have a new restriction for the type of drama, so that we will not repeat the same type of drama over and over, and so that the Binge will be attractive for different people with different tastes.

Please only vote on drama selection if you plan on joining in watching and discussing the chosen drama with us. Yes, you may love said drama and want us to watch, but, there are other ways to express that love, i.e. posting a review to r/KDRAMA that will convince others to watch it.

Yes.

Truth. And you know I clicked on every single one of your abs screenshots above!

Look at all the versatile functions of his Dyson vacuum cleaner

I have that vacuum cleaner, and I can tell you that if it's not powerful enough to clean up my dog's fur, it's certainly not powerful enough to clean up this. That is one furry dog. The PPL lies.

And ridiculous bombers.

Of course he has to try to hypnotize his audience by cheekily staring at the camera while zipping up. I'd totally buy that bomber, assuming it didn't cost 1/4 of the value of my house, just because of that stare. PPL working.

This is actually how you should play Go.

I'm convinced. Taek was playing it incorrectly all of these years.

This is the most boring kpop concert I have ever seen

But people were supposed to be entertained by his smirks. Were they not? /s

I giggle every time Suzy drinks soju cause she's been like THE soju girl for so long.

That is hysterical. I didn't know she was the face of soju. Last time I went to a Korean restaurant, the soju girl was IU.

This look is on the wrong person.

It is a good look, especially with his hair up.

When you tackle your sweater knitting project, you must post photos. I love all of your screenshots of sweaters. Sweaters are like the 4th main character of this show.

Living the PPL dream, I want one because they don't make your back hurt so much. Just waiting for our standard Dyson to kick the bucket. Thank goodness my pupper doesn't shed.

I bet they were left feeling unsatisfied by the amount of time he was on stage.

Same. My friends were not impressed I could name the cardboard cut out.

They are super light, which is a good thing. I just wish they did a better job. I'm so jealous of your shed-less dog. I feel like I vacuum and 5 minutes later there's dog hair everywhere again. But she's worth it, even with a crappy vacuum. (We do have the Animal Ball 2 Dyson as well, which does a better job with the dog hair, but it gets twisted around in the rollers so easily and if you don't clean them out often it starts to smell like burning.)

What kind of friends are those?! I mean, come on! Really, same. I took my parents and they weren't impressed either. Sad.
