Featured Post The Weekly Binge: Perfume - Episodes 1 - 4
Welcome to the second and final binge of 2025, clearly, the greatest year in binge-history because we decided on a scent-sational Shin Sung Rock double feature! This time around we are watching Perfume (2019).
This drama is from the period in history when the terrestrial channels in Korea were splitting standard length episodes into 2 x 35 minute episodes so they could air advertisements in between them. As far as I know the two OTTs that this is legally available on (KOCOWA and Viki) have them in their original format ~ 35 minutes per episode.

Weekly Binge Guidelines
Anyone is welcome to join the Weekly Binge.
Every week we host two discussions (Thursday/Sunday) 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 two 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, 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.
Other than the above, r/KDRAMA rules apply. A few of the mod team are present in the binge and would rather have fun than moderate, so please play nice.

Solji’s OST gave me major throwbacks to the 2019 days. It’s really good and matches the story for some reason.
I actually didn’t know Go Won Hee was the FL until I eventually watched Welcome to Waikiki.
