I was glad to see Clancy Brown's ghost (or Abbie's delusion) make an appearance. At the moment, I am more interested in the sister in the institution than any of the other nonsense in Sleepy Hollow. If she and Clancy stay front and center I'll probably keep watching. If not, it will be easy to ditch as shows hung on the "snarky partners" cliche have no appeal to me.

Didn't watch AoS. They're agents. Agents are cops, essentially, and I *so* don't care.

Definitely hoping for the sister and CB to stick around, too.

Yeah, that's part of my lack of enthusiasm for the show. I am so burnt out on cop shows, procedurals, etc. I want something new and different for a change.

I watch mostly KDramas now. I appreciate that a huge variety of occupations are represented by the characters.

Good to know! I'm about halfway through my first KDrama of the historical variety - The Great Queen Seon Deok - and I'm enjoying it a lot. Let me know if you have any to recommend!

Another historical one you might like is "Arang and the Magistrate." It has a good mystery and a lot of fun supernatural/mythological elements in it.

I'll have to give some thought to titles set in modern times to rec to you; I skew toward the fun soap-opera ones and I'm pretty sure you would choke on some of the strict gender tropes in most of them. ;-P

You might try "Flower Boy Next Door." It has an interesting heroine who works as a copy editor. She is so crippled by social anxiety that she can barely leave her apartment. She catches the eye of a neighbor who draws a web comic as well as the interest of a very outgoing video-game designer. The story develops as these two men disrupt her solitary world.

(^^ great example of characters who aren't policemen or lawyers)

Thanks for the recs! I may try a modern one next, just to have a change from the historical stuff. I'll poke around on Drama Fever once I'm finished with this one and see what I can find.
