Retired journalist. Married.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 SNP. Politics (leaning more and more to the left); BTS (yes, the Korean pop band). Don't DM as I'm too old and can't be bothered.
I turn to oldies whenever I need some comfort for the soul - 1% of Something, Business Proposal, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, Moon Embracing the Sun, Healer and C-dramas Put Your Head on My Shoulder, My Little Happiness, Have a Crush on You. All light, easily digested old friends.

Reserving judgement till the end, but difficult to maintain enthusiasm.

Doh! My innocent little non-racist mind thought Forage was referring to the Glasgow accent. The goon means immigrants, doesn't he?

I love everything Bai Jing Ting has done, especially First Frost. My 'discovery' this year was Zhang Ling He in the sweet, nostalgic Our Generation.

Lovely idea, thank you.

RM - a real leader
JIN - great humour
SUGAR - profound thinker
J-HOPE - optimist
JIMIN - velvet voice
V - very complex individual (and gorgeous to look at)
Jungcook - multi-talented

My beautiful love story is Are You Human Too? with Seo Kang Jun playing the kindness, sweetest, most romantic robot hero - what woman could resist, even if there are unanswered questions about life with a man who, unlike his lover, won't ever grow old? Lovely challenge, Jane. Thank you.

No contest, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, Ep.13 (it's been a long wait!). She arrives at his home to stay the night; he says he won't hold back, and he doesn't. Backed against the wall, lips meet, buttons undone, tie pulled off, jacket shed... sublime.

I'm only half way through. It's so refreshingly different.

Chemistry oozes between Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young in What's Wrong with Secretary Kim. One of my first K-dramas, I found their interaction so compelling I was convinced they were a real couple. I've since learnt that PSJ is a master of romance who can conjure up sizzling chemistry at will.

No hesitation in choosing the scene from Mr Queen when Shin Hye Sun does some flashy dance moves in the rain to celebrate what she/he thinks is the approaching end to their ordeal. The royal attendants are apalled; the watching king, entranced.

This is a hard one, so I'll cheat and say any scene which features the Cheonggyecheon Stream (Lovely Runner, Queen of Tears etc). It's a beautiful setting, whether by day or night, so little wonder it's used as a backdrop for so many romantic K-dramas.

I dont have to think twice - Hwarang. Various musicians contribute, but as a BTS devotee, for me the outstanding song is V and Jin's 'It's You.' It accompanies a catchy sword dance by the main actors which is impossible to watch without setting feet tapping.

Always hushed up. I seem to recall a few years ago Angus Robertson uncovered an incident at Faslane involving a fatality. Not a murmer in the Press.

I'm opting for Healer and Ji Chang Wook seeking comfort from Park Min Young as she tries to make coffee. Despite being able to single handedly floor a gang of thugs, our hero is really very vulnerable and desperately needs her. A very sweet moment in a delightful series.

That's another one the King should strip of his titles- for screwing the country.
