omg one of my fav couples, finally as first leads together. Dying from happiness! I hope this will be good!

Okay, so I am watching this for the second time around, and I am starting to remember why I only gave it a rating of 8.5, even though I enjoyed it a lot.
There are just two things that are annoying me:
1. While the main girl is cute at times, she is also obnoxious and annoying and in NO WAY passes as a 18 year old teenager. In my country, 18 is the legal age for drinking, driving, signing contracts, marriage and being held legally responsible for any crimes you commit. I know in Korea the legal age is 20, but still, she acts like a 14 year old, especially when it comes to her boy group obsession. She has no sense of responsibility whatsoever. I wished they had made her a junior high student instead, or given her at least a couple of mature traits. But well, all the father does is scream and shout and throwing tantrums to his wife, maybe it's no wonder...
2. Weird time skips and not addressing scenes that happened previously:
The editing of the episodes is really weird. In episode 5, a certain character is in the hospital with a broken arm. They don't explain how he broke his arm and ended up there in the episode, and it makes you wonder if you missed an episode.. In episode 2, a couple kisses, but their feelings are never addressed again, despite it being obvious that it was one sided. Shi Won's hair magically grows more than a hand's width after no apparent time skip, or at least I didn't notice any.

I really love this drama a lot, but man, those things are a bummer.

I used to have the same thoughts you do. No matter how small the act of betrayal, there would be no way I could ever forgive my boyfriend or, worse, husband if he cheated on me. I also thought the same would apply to other couples. How could you ever trust someone again, after that trust has been shattered into pieces? To some extend, I still stand by that belief. However, I have come to accept that certain situations might push you into making mistakes that you thought were impossible at first. I have come to accept that nobody is perfect and that losing years and decades of history may be worse than try and forgive. I am in no way justifying cheating, and I believe we always have a choice, so there is nothing that can 'force' you into cheating... However, as I said, sometimes for the sake of our happiness and future, we need (to give) a second chance. Of course, that doesn't apply to all circumstances.
That's just my opinion, of course.
I haven't seen the drama yet, but I don't want to miss out on it just because of the premise.

Yes, most likely.

I am not really into K-Pop, so I don't know D.O. as an idol or singer, I only know him as an actor, and he has done a phenomenal job in two of my favorite dramas (It's okay, that's love, and I remember you/Hello Monster). When I found out he is an idol, I was stunned. He acts so well in both of those dramas.
As for this one, it is too early to judge, but so far it's fun, even though not spectacular. And it feels entirely different to SKL because of their different characters and the fact that this is a period drama.

Sadly it could have been so much better, even for such a short drama. I thought the acting and cinematography were quite good, the directing spot on as well. But the writing fell short. So many things didn't make sense. They didn't elaborate enough on their reasonings and feelings, especially in the final episode (like, srsly, what? LOL)
Also, small things annoyed me, how he spent hours to make food that looked from a 5 star restaurant and then let it sit outside until it would be obviously ice cold when they finally had dinner, how they never even finished the food, how they never locked up the food truck, how he never questioned that she didn't have a place to stay just because she lost her wallet (like that premise didn't make any sense from the start lol), how he had no customers and still took in a part-timer, even though he obviously couldn't afford to pay her, I just could go on and on and on xD
But well, it's cute if you don't question anything. 6.5/10

I think it was the typical 'I want to find myself and realize my dream because I don't want to rely on you' sort of reason. Hence, she came back when she finally had her own exhibition. Still, I hate stuff like that. Especially for a generally energetic and open person as her, she could have just talked about it, and told him clearly instead of just running away. In my opinion it didn't make sense and I was disappointed by the ending.

I love both of the actors, and I am looking forward to this. I just somewhat hoped they'd stick to age-gaps of 6 or 7 years or so. 11 years is pushing it, at least at such a young age (when you're 60, it doesn't matter that much anymore lol). I am just saying, because I've experienced it in my circle of friends, and it never ends well. Also, because I usually find the chemistry lacking a with such an age gap.

This is so weird, in the credits for Between Friendship and Love 3, it clearly said his name is Mu Jin Sung and when I googled, I was linked to a acting company where is listed as such (무진성 / Mu Jin Sung). Is one his stage name??

Anyway, I liked him a lot in that short web drama, hope he gets more leading roles :)

This is why it is so important to 'dissolve' the setting after a scene has been rehearsed or shot, and to separate yourself from your persona. I am not an actress, nor have I ever done method acting, but I once participated in a psychological two -day program, in which we would act out roles we were given, without any script or deeper explanation to who the characters were. We were simply put in a room in special constellations and told briefly which character we incorporated in relation to the main subject. We were supposed to talk about our feelings, how we felt in the spot we were standing in, or how we felt when looking at other characters. To this day, I cannot properly explain what happened and how it is possible, but I experienced the craziest things in that session. At some point, without knowing why, I completely broke down in tears at the gaze of another woman. I couldn't stop crying, I could barely breathe, even though I had been fine just a moment before. In the discussion afterwards, it turned out her character was my character's stepmother, who physically abused her stepdaughter as a child. I did not know that before the session started. The moment I turned around to face that woman, I just broke down. The psychologist that was with us during those days always stressed how important it was at the end of each session, that we return to our own minds, and leave behind whatever feeling we experienced. I bet that it's even more difficult for actors who have crazy schedules and act out the character day by day. I think it should be the agency that has to make sure such things don't happen to their actors. It's a big family, after all, that should look out for each other. I do hope he recovers very soon!

Same, same!! I was stuck on a nine, but then the final episode happened and some things seemed out of place or rushed. I really really want a second season, and some more romance (doesn't even have to be a lot, just some cute scenes lol). I do think the ending sort of called for a second season, so maybe there is hope??

It's been a while since I enjoyed a drama of this genre as much. I do have to agree with some of the comments, the first half of the show was killer, afterwards, while still good, it couldn't keep up with the great start. However, it was still enjoyable after all. The cast did a fantastic job, our leading couple of course, and especially some of the villains. The side characters were a great and fun addition to spice things up. While I don't think a drama of this genre needs to have any romance, I thought their chemistry was off the charts. That's why I was a bit disappointed when their scenes seemed somewhat forced in the second half of the show, compared to the beginning where I could feel sparks flying. Even so, I loved their mutual trust and that I didn't feel like one had the upper hand.
All in all, I would say this drama is the one with the biggest cast of 'strong female characters', which was really nice for a change. I just wished the prosecutor lady had lived up to my expectations from the beginning (she seemed like someone with loads of potential for character growth). Anyway, enough rambling, I definitely recommend this to everyone looking for a good gangster/lawyer/revenge drama with some romance and nice action scenes.
8.5/10 (the first couple of episodes deserve a higher score, though)

Yeah, you're right about that. But it's not only about understanding the context, more like.... reading a novel that's been translated badly or that has shitty writing. It takes all the fun, in my opinion :(

So, what should I say? I have to put aside my disappointment at the abrupt ending, it's really a shame. Although they did the best they could, it still feels empty and like there is something missing. I am hoping for a fourth season with a closure both of the couples deserve (and the college guys!!). I just hope they don't add unnecessary drama, or worse, change the actors and story again. I haven't seen the first two seasons precisely because of those reasons.

Other than that, though, I must say I loved this show a lot! All the characters, the budding romance, the friendship and bromance, and that beautiful mother-daughter(s) relationship touched me. I must admit, although the show is called 'Let's eat' and the food porn is amazing, sometimes the food scenes seemed to long and I fast forwarded lol
I feel especially happy about how realistic all the characters felt, with their flaws and good traits, their hopes and shattered dreams, and yet never giving up... It is very inspiring in that way, yet also painfully realistic, even more so when you place the college flashbacks next to their lives today.
8/10 because of the rushed ending.

It's a bit ironic that their love didn't flourish because of Goo Dae Young's enlistment and the events that followed after, and now we don't get to see a closure because of the actor's enlistment lol Ironic and sad T__T

I don't really think it's a spoiler, but I am not sure since I haven't seen "Duel". But apparently he plays three different people in that drama, and has been praised for his superb acting. Maybe you should watch that one to decide if he's a worthy actor :)

I agree omg, SO MUCH HAPPENING AT ONCE, I CANNOT---
Honestly, though, I wished they hadn't made Hyung Tae into the typical clingy overreacting male second lead. I thought it was really touching how he cared for her, but as a friend. It just doesn't make any sense. They weren't even dating when she fell into a coma. There was no guarantee that she would ever wake up. I find it unbelievable that he waited for her for 13 years, with romantic feelings involved. I wished they had just let him be a very good and loyal friend. Bummer...

And finally the bomb dropped. Cannot wait for the next episode, omg. So many secrets revealed!
(Also, can I just say how much I love Gong Woo Jin?? I want a man like him, d'awwww)

I've seen Yang Se Yong in three dramas so far. The first one, Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim, I thought the role really suited him. He was very convincing and I was itching to see him in another leading role.
Temperature of love on the other hand, was boring to death. I don't blame it on the actors, because I love the female lead to bits after Another Miss Oh, so it was the production itself that sucked.
Now finally in this show, I think Yang Se Yong finally found his calling. Personally I am loving him in this role. You can clearly see his awkwardness, the way he sometimes slouches his shoulders or sits on his hands, then yet again, his emotional outbursts are really heartfelt as well. And those moments he smiles and shows a moment of maturity are beautiful.
I wouldn't say he's my favorite actor, and he still has things to learn for sure, but I like that he's not one of the typical Korean chaebol- or dreamboat types.

I recommend you watch Time between Dog and Wolf, especially if you're a fan of Lee Joon Gi. Albeit old, it's fantastic! One of the best action/revenge dramas I've seen, and lovely romance on top. I agree with your list, I have to say from all of them 'You're all surrounded' is the least memorable to me. My personal favorite on the list is 'City Hunter', the reason being that it was stellar even back in the day and it left me with too many feelings to even properly explain how much I loved every second of the drama. (Although I wished the kiss scene(s) were a bit less... eh... static lol).

To add to the list:
Yong Pal - loving it so much for the female lead
I remember you/Hello Monster - not only a revenge drama but heavy on the mystery and one of my top favorites
Lawless Attorney - I haven't finished it yet, but I enjoy it so far. Loads of evil plots to uncover. Lee Joon Gi just shines in those kind of roles.
