I still haven’t had a chance to watch this week’s eps of Let’s Eat 3 but I’m already dreading it knowing that this has unexpectedly become the penultimate week of the show.

I thought Netflix was dropping the new eps of Meteor Garden every Friday, 6 eps at time, but they’re actually dropping them periodically throughout the week so now I’m in agony because I’m working on three recaps and have no time to watch anything else BUT I NEED TO SEE MY IDIOTIC PINEAPPLE SON.

I don’t care how cliche that ending was, I was actually holding my breath at every missed connection and then grinning like an idiot when they met once again at the “feet of the angels.”

This show was perfect and wonderful and undoubtedly my favorite of the year. No show was able to captivate and delight me, to make me laugh and cry (almost within minutes of each other), and fall in love with an entire cast (even the grumpy ajusshi broke my heart).

Maybe it’s not a perfect drama (what is?), but it was perfect for me, and I’m thankful that JTBC and JYP Pictures went to so much effort (can you imagine the costs of filming in France? And then waiting a year before airing it?) to give me this gift. It’s a “package” I’ll forever cherish.
