It's supposed to make us squirm while we're laughing.

😉

I thought that was funny, too. 😅

Thank you!

She reminds me of the serial killer/psychopathic stepmother of the ML in Legend Of The Blue Sea!

Same!

Ack, duh, I feel so dumb. The date is in the title. I just saw all the comments about 1950's and then forgot that the title said the specific year because I glanced at it so fast. Sheesh... I'll just go hide and be embarrassed now... 😶‍🌫️

I'm assuming it'll be after the Korean War?

I like BTS songs, but this stuff sounds like too much of a deep dive for me... do you think it could be enjoyed as a drama set apart from the BTS stuff?

How exactly does this drama relate to the boy band BTS? I'm confused...

Though Hyun Woo isn't dumb, just kind of a doormat at times. 😏

I think if you still don't care for it by the end of Episode 2 you probably won't like the rest. But maybe wait and see what people say after it finishes and you can try again if you hear good things?

🏅🏅🏅 🙌👏

I've heard good things, but I tend to struggle with two genres of Kdrama: ghost/afterlife dramas and office dramas. For instance, I struggled with The Good Manager, Search WWW, Hot Stove League , My Mister, etc. I know they were excellent dramas and had fantastic acting, but they ended up just being so-so for me. I know this drama is funnier, but does it have a similar vibe to other office dramas?

You're smart. 😆

That one has a sad ending too, yes? Iljimae?

Also, you might not mind the ending as much as you think you will. The romance was not the best, and the FL is just okay, so it wasn't as heartbreaking as it could have been.

You could try it and just skip the parts that don't land? Bu I know exactly what you mean. I feel about Iljimae the way you described feeling about The Bridal Mask. I can get into "old Kdrama" mode and then if I go into an old drama with that lens I can still usually see past the flaws to appreciate the good stuff. But I get you, it's hard to do and I don't blame you!

Sounds like a good plan! That way you can stalk this thread for spoilers to make sure it ends well. 😉 Some of us are too far in and will crumble into a million unhappy little pieces if they pull a sad ending on us. 😂

That would be fun! 🤣 Though translating Thyme/Joon Pyo into a female character might be a bit tricky. Though it might actually end up looking a bit like the main leads' characterization in IOTNBO.
