It's a drama that catches me, but I'm forced to observe that episode 2 slows down a bit, and that I don't feel the enthusiasm of my favorite dramas (for now). Fortunately, there's a very good tension in some scenes between the two leads. Slightly erotic tension even, hum hum.
I can understand those that say this show is similar to HDL but I personally don't see & feel it (coming from…
The aesthetics of the drama and FL's style of dress have something in common. But the theme is very different. I hope that the ML of "psycho is ok" won't be a flat and limp guy like the one in HDL!
❝A huge part of this drama is the role reversal of the stereotypical kdrama dynamic between the male leads on…
For now, I don't think so. You could say that easely with a drama like "my fair lady", but not here. But I'm agree there is a reversal of stereotype because both FL and ML have psychic disorders, and you don't see that often in a drama. The story is about that first. It's difficult to foresee who save who. And the end of episode 2, it's rather the ML who is on the way to save FL, because he know her and is psycho-helper (she's the same of his first love). As both characters have psychic disorder, it could also work the other way. The characters would help each other, and it could be in a violent way, because they are attracted. To early for predicting all this...
The second episode stabilizes, and there are fewer burlesque scenes. There's good mood, and the potential for the sequel, with Yeon-Joo's branch office principle and company. The drama is quite fresh. The two main actors are very good, so it helps to bring it up a bit. Not so bad, not great either.
There are some good points about the script. The script takes the professional situation seriously. The multiple problems of this type of grocery store, cigarette sales, law, registration of receipts. And the guy doing the live show is not only funny, but credible enough. I can well imagine a very well-known shopkeeper giving advice to other professionals, on his web channel, with that tone of voice.
Last part of episode 1 is better. It look a bit like "Cleaning with passion". 1st episode was too much with forced comedy, but it became great after that. So I will watch ep 2 now.
I'm going on a little out of curiosity. I hope that artificial processes will stop a bit, because it doesn't work for comedy. On the other hand... the mother with the purple lipstick! :-D
Ah you're here ? I don't expect much. I'm interested in the lead actress because she's very cold, and often that doesn't suit her roles, despite her talent. However, here it would be perfect, it's very suited to her character.
I just rewatched Inception. I can't help but imagine what a frightening 7-level deep nightmare this movie would have been if it had been written by Kim Eun Sook in a 16-episode drama.

Best role of her life. She's perfect into this.
And more beautiful than usual.
Difficult to make a choice.... Mmmh mh.. I think I prefer Yeon-joo a bit more.

Baddass girl trope, grotesque scenes...
I'm a little worried it's gonna turn into a sadomasochistic thing, too. ^^
Scene with the knife, if I remember correctly.
I have no sense of reality after TKEM. Any other drama sounds good. ^^
