Remember how we voted for our group watches 2 months ago, you guys?
Well, time has flown by, and while ourĀ Healer group watch is still on-going (so cracky, even on a third watch! Do join us, if you can!), we have now completed our group watch of the very twisty yet very heartfelt Signal.
..Which means it’s time to announce the start of our Queen In-hyun’s Man group watch, which was the second Editor’s Choice pick that I made.
Here are all the details you might need!
EDITOR’S CHOICE 2: Queen In-hyun’s Man
Schedule: Saturdays, starting 23 April 2022. Posts will go live at 8:00am, my time (GMT+8).
Romance:Ā Yes.
Commitment: 16 episodes. 2 eps a week = 8 weeks.
In other words: We will discuss E1&2 on Saturday, 23 April 2022.
Why you should watch:Ā
I did love this when I watched it, back when it aired in 2012.
Yoo In Na is adorable in this, and Ji Hyun Woo is our really nice, decent, intelligent male lead, who time travels from Joseon, to meet his fated lady love. My quick review is here.
Bonus factoid:
Ji Hyun Woo fell for Yoo In Na for real, while filming this drama, and made a public love confession after the show wrapped, just before enlisting for military service.
The buzz around this was HUGE. The two did date for a season, but ended up breaking up eventually, which is too bad. The point is, though, the smitten gazes that Ji Hyun Woo wears in this show, areĀ real.
Availability: Available onĀ iQIYI. It’s also available on AsianCrush here, and on YouTube here.
Getting around geo-restrictions
If youāre geo-restricted, a VPN service would help you get around that. Not only does it provide online safety, it also gives you access to lots of great geo-restricted content.
I personally use NordVPN. You can find my review of NordVPN here.
You can use my affiliate link (here!) to enjoy up to 60% * off, with prices starting as low as US$3.29 per month.
* This used to say 73%, but because NordVPN’s changed the way it calculates the discount, it now says 60%. BUT, it’s the same great price, starting from US$3.29 a month!
An article on why itās not illegal to use a VPN to access legal streaming content can be found here.
Bonus: Trent and j3ffc learned some interesting things in their VPN journey to gain access to this show on iQIYI, and you can read more about it in the comments section of my NordVPN review post here.

In closing
..That’s about it, really! Please go forth and enjoy your first couple of episodes – and remember to tune in for the Open Thread posts, going live next week! ā¤ļø
Also, don’t worry if you can’t make it to join the discussion on Saturday itself; these aren’t live watch parties. Often the discussions go on all week, and sometimes beyond!
