My only quibble with Everything Sucks! is that, in my adolescent memories of the 90′s, no one wore both straps of their backpack unless you were an uber nerd, yet everyone at Boring High wears both straps.

I’m finally all caught up with Riverdale!
Pretty sure I would die for Veronica. And Valerie. Or at least pledge them my undying loyalty because they’re the only sane ones in this town.
Still kinda ehhhhhhh on Jughead and Betty dating because as someone who literally learned to read from the comics, it goes against everything I know about these characters. But at least even Jughead is aware that they’re doomed. Any CW relationship that gets together within the first 5 episodes is never gonna last.
How much do you like Go Kyung Pyo? I’m curious (and to me he was shiny in that dance club scene). Also, how good is the entire cast of Chicago Typewriter? (except the guy who screams all the time and almost makes me deaf, since I use headphones to watch) + the script is also great so far. I’m so afraid this will disappoint me. The length is already problematic, I have almost no time to watch stuff and then tvN does that to me… I skipped the first 5 min too!
I love him, but then I blindly latch onto actors who were in roles that I adored and follow them until the bitter end, hoping they’ll finally get the role that will show the world how great they are and that I’ve always known they were since the beginning. I haven’t watched everything he’s done (not even Reply 1988, because omg those episode lengths!), but I’ve liked him in whatever I’ve seen him in.
The script is… okay? I literally fast-forwarded through most of ep 2 so I’m not sure I’m qualified to comment on the script, but I also know this writer isn’t one I particularly like so I wasn’t really expecting greatness in the script, anyway. Her projects are generally saved by the talent of the cast (at least in my estimation). Although, I’m not feeling the chemistry between Yoo Ah In and Im Soo Jung, which is weird because I know they’re good actors and should convince me of anything, but… eh. I think there’s a good concept, though, and I hope it goes as dark as I want it to (c’mon lets go full-on horror/mystery!), but realistically we’ll probably wallow in the modern day where I get bored easily.
Now, if there were more than fifteen minutes of the 1930′s scenes, then maybe I’d like this show a lot more than I do. I’ll still give it a chance next week, but only to see what happens with Go Kyung Pyo since he only appeared for a few minutes at the end. I fully expect it’ll hit my “drop” list, though.
