I have posted this before, Oh Yeju is a chemistry princess who propels good looking actors into the fast lane. She did it with Moon Sangmin in Under the Queens Umbrella, with Hong Minki in Love Your Enemy, and now who can doubt that she is moving Kim Tae Young onto the launch pad. She is finally getting a lead part in the SBS drama Awakening that is going to air first part of next year. The male lead there is Lee Jun Hyuk. At just 21 years old, she has quite a career ahead of her!

I like all the couples! In addition the bond between the three sisters is wonderful, as is their bond with Grandmother. Drama has great family chemistry and great romantic chemistry all the way around.

Looking forward to having Oh Yeju in this drama for the next couple of episodes. Every kdrama she has been in she lights up the screen. The chemistry she produced with Moon Sangmin in Under the Queen's Umbrella and with Hong Minki in Love Your Enemy helped to put their careers in fast mode. She is slated for her first leading role in "Awakening" where the male lead is Lee Jun Hyuk. I bet that will be the first of many leading roles for this talented young actress (she's 21).

I read alot about tropes in dramas like this. The truth is a romcom wouldn't be a romcom without them. In that sense every Korean romcom is filled with tropes, in other words dramas like this are "tropey." But that is not a bad thing. The question is how the tropes are done, how they fit into the story and how they move the drama forward. In my opinion this drama does a really good job with the tropes it uses to make the story move forward and enhance the chemistry.

So when someone says this is tropey -- well ok, what else is new? But in hands of a screen writer like Jo Sung Hee I say great! The last time I have seen romantic tropes used so effectively was in drama like Still Seventeen. What a surprise. LOL

For the next two or three weeks Oh Yeju is going to have two dramas going. Of course as young Hadam in this drama on MBC. But over at SBS on their Friday/Saturday drama My Phantom Lawyer she is going to appear as a murdered kpop idol trainee. MPL is on Netflix, Kocowa, and Viki world wide. I really wish that In Your Radiant Season could have the same platforms, rather the week delay on Disney.

Glad to see we are now at 8.4.

Yeah, I agree. But that is the way a lot of teenagers are -- a little immature and insecure. I mean the reason she wants to marry him is because she will feel more secure when he goes to the big leagues in the US, which shows how insecure she is. When she discovers the truth behind all this stuff, she will have a healthy dose of embarassment and through it all become more secure. At least that is where the writers will hopefully take us. Frankly, all three sisters have loads of insecurities that life has put into them. In their own way, each needs to be healed.

This is my last attempt. First, are you saying that the AI is wrong? Second, rather than attack me personally, address my point that the side stories did not dominate the drama. Because if you can't then your whole argument makes no sense. Third, you must be a low iq person, don't you realize that AI is a valid source? Like I say, this is my last response to you. Post whatever garbage you want that makes claims you can't back up.

Temper, Temper! I must have hit a nerve. But your argument is just silly. Oh Yeju had about 5 minutes of total time, and Han Ji Hyeon had about the same. The rest was given to the two leads and their storyline. Frankly you are the idiot in trying to say that AI uses no sources and statistics (I don't use profanity like you!). Faux F, to bring you into the modern era, when you ask AI a question it is programed to use sources and statistics to give the answer. And guess what, if you can grasp it, it gives a real answer. "While its domestic viewership in South Korea has been moderate, it has gained significant traction on global streaming platforms like Hulu and Disney+." Have a nice day.

I read someone post earlier that the reason the D went down in local ratings is because he or she didn't like the support cast and their story lines. Typical troll post trashing the drama with no reasoned argument. Maybe the ratings were lower because of the cancelation last week. More likely it got a lower rating because Phantom Lawyer had it's premiere.

However concerning the popularity of the Drama? Here is what AI is saying: "Phantom Lawyer is currently popular, especially among international K-drama fans, since its premiere in February 2026. While its domestic viewership in South Korea has been moderate, it has gained significant traction on global streaming platforms like Hulu and Disney+."

Don't believe the garbage!!

I had faith that Yu Gyeom was not cheating! But the misunderstanding does produce wonderful, immature, first love, angst! Just wait for the sugar high when the misunderstanding is explained.

Great episode. And talk about visuals! Three prettiest sisters in the history of kdrama (in my opinion). Couple that with really good storylines and the result is a great drama.

Making accusations without any reason is just pure garbage! How is a dementia plot silly for a grandmother in her 70's? The youngest sister's love line is sweet and spot on with it's portrayal of first love. The middle sister is cuteness personified and the guy who has liked her for years may be a trope, but tropes that are well done like this one is great. The truth is that "drive by" negative posts like yours are meaningless.

Glad the wait for the next episode is coming to an end. The pre release stuff is pointing to relationship tensions including with the sisters themselves. Should be fun!

By the way Oh Yeju is in the cast for the upcoming drama, My Phantom Lawyer. So for the next few weeks we will see her quite often. She is also one of the FL's for "Awakening" along with Ryu Da In. The male lead is Lee Jun Hyuk.

The way folks just drop random comments on this site is a crack-up. Say anything you want, but give no reasons why, in this instance, her acting is bad, is just mean. For example what is the "Dr. Romantic Zone?" Frankly my opinion, just an opinion, not a statement of fact, is that you just plain don't like Lee Sung Kyung.

Don't believe he is cheating.

No way! In the promo for their story they are cast as the perfect example of first love. Plus the way he loves her Grandmother is not the act of a cheater! Either something underhanded was done to his phone or it is a phone from one of his team mates who Kang Sora settled on. But this will lead to misunderstandings which is a natural part of first, pure love.

I am glad to see the MDL score go up to 8.3. Now that Disney is finally kicking in, and considering the quality of the Drama it will continue to rise.

Finally it is up on Disney in USA.
