It's 10th Anniversary today of "The Flower In Prison" starring by Jin Se Yeon, Kim Mi Sook and Joo Jin Mo, who also portraying the characters of Gong Ju A, the grandma and grandpa in this drama, just like with Recipe for Love, I also watched the entire The Flower In Prison back 2016, that's why these two dramas are so memorable to me 💕
After 10 years it's nice to see that the friendship between Jin Se Yeon and Kim Mi Sook still strong until now in Recipe for Love they even became sweeter to each other like a real grandparent and grandchild, Jin Se Yeon is really sweet and warmhearted to her co stars that's why even veteran actress Kim Mi Sook also appreciated her true kindness, their friendship is very admirable 🥰🥰
One of the several factors that makes the writing of this story good is that, similar to Once Again, the main…
Yes, I agree with your comment, though not all but most of family dramas tend to drag in the middle and fall flat at the ending, I hope the writer of Recipe for Love avoid this kind of weak writing, cause so far she can still write a good story in every episode of this drama, I hope she maintains this and stay consistently mindful of what she's writing, I'm praying that this drama turns out as smooth as Once Again 🙏
I rewatched episode 26 last night and now I understand each character's traits here so much more, I like the part where Ju A drove her mom and they had a heart-to-heart talk, their behavior might have flaws because no one is perfect in this world but I can feel what's in their hearts, Jin Se Yeon and Yoo Ho Jung did a great job in this scene, they acting felt like a real mother and daughter, what a great performance for these two good actresses, now I understand even more why the k-viewers liked them in this drama 🥰🥰
Jung Han wasn't a perfect husband either but when he found out his wife had cancer, I could feel his tears and realized how important his wife was, even though their marriage wasn't compatible, Kim Seung Soo did a great job too on his performance he also a great actor 😘
And also I could feel the conversation between Yang Hyeon Bin and Ju A's mother, this scene with Park Ki Woong and Yoo Ho Jung made me cry so much, their performance was so effective!😍😍
And I also liked the heartfelt conversation between our main couple Ju A and Hyeon Bin they're such a sweet and honest couple, I also just want to hug Ju A in this kind of situation, so I suddenly remembered this song from their scene:
This episode made me laugh, made me cry and it was healing for me, there may still be secrets and a lot more will happen in the next episodes but the heart in this drama never disappears, actually I rarely feel this way in a family drama, thanks to Recipe for Love I got the chance to feel a family drama again cause after Once Again I lost interest in any family series, kudos to the writer and director they did justice to every performance and character of the cast in this drama, each cast member fits their character perfectly, I don't know how the cast here will get awards for their excellent performance? because it's always Netflix, Disney and only popular dramas who get nominated in every award-giving body "this is unfair reality" However I hope the actors/actresses in this drama still get an awards because they are also very deserving..
And please! I hope these talented cast members get more opportunities because I keep noticing that it's always the same actor's faces I see in every casting news, it's really sad reality it's a connections or backing system in k-industry, I hope they don't waste the talent of these great actors/actresses and give them more chances that they deserve..
Also what's great about this drama I haven't seen any bad acting or boring scenes so far and this drama gave Jin Se Yeon and Park Ki Woong the chance to further improve their acting skills, that's why I'm even more proud of them now, so I hope I get to see them again in this kind of heartwarming drama because they both nailed it..
And lastly whatever happens in the story because family isn't really perfect anyway, surely there's more to come but I still wish for the best in the remaining episodes of this drama 🙏
Episodes 25-26 are still interesting episodes so far and good acting from the cast 💙🩷
I noticed all the commenters here and in youtube are criticizing FL's behavior, even me I don't condone her actions either but in the past episodes even though she is not always perfect but as you can see she still has a mature attitude, I think the FL is like this because she's adopting her family's behavior, since she's with them everyday. The Gong family is warm fam but it's because of their runaway spouse/father/grandpa, they still can't handle the situations properly. All the things happening in this drama have a reason, so even though all the characters here have flaws but for me this kind of situation is still relatable because no one is perfect we all have own flaws too, now I get why their attitude is still like that because the story's still long and there's a lot more to happen like in drama Once Again, Recipe for Love and this drama has the same vibes but of course if the right time will come they still realize their mistakes and they'll finally get the chance to change, about the birth secret and illness tropes, I think these tropes are still necessary for this drama with Seri's looks there's no way she doesn't have own child? And about the FL's mother's sickness, I suddenly remembered my relatives who also have cancer, so I hope that even if she's not a perfect mother she'll still survive this illness, however at least the tropes in this drama don't feel forced and Recipe for Love is still refreshing in many ways.
For those who make assumptions about this drama, the writer has an unpredictable mind, so whatever you're thinking will depends on where the story actually goes.
And for those saying that the father role doesn't fit Kim Seung Soo, I disagree with this maybe we have different perspectives in every character of this drama but for me he's still nailed his character well, he is a versatile actor whom I admire, so I really appreciate his dedication to this drama.
And finally the heartwarming and happy behind the scenes of Recipe for Love family from episodes 23-26, I love their genuine and warm friendship so much! 😘😘😘
This drama and the cast are very meaningful to me, so I'll stick with it no matter where the story goes because I noticed and realized despite the problems there are still happy moments in this drama and because of this I'm getting even more curious about what will really happen next? so I'm still hooked on it..
Why do Dong Ik and Se Ri NEVER suffer the consequences of their LYING, SCHEMING and CONNIVING acts? Especially…
Just because mother of Ju A is a psychiatrist and an expert at giving love advice, so she stood firm on forgiveness that Ju A also heeded her mother's advice about this..
I like the flow of this drama so far, even though I'm clueless about what will really happen in the entirety of this story but I'll still keep watching it as long as I can, I barely see my Bridal Mask or HyunJu babies Jin Se Yeon and Park Ki Woong in dramas these days and I really miss so bad the Bridal Mask cast, so I don't want to miss the chance too to watch them again in this kind of interesting project and I genuinely appreciate the strong or great performances from the whole cast of this drama, it's a pleasure that Jin Se Yeon and Park Ki Woong had the chance to collaborate with both skilled veteran actors/actresses and promising young actors/actresses in this project, so regardless of where this drama's story goes, I'm sticking with it because I've been invested this drama since the beginning, if I managed to sit through that drama Once Again with 100 episodes then I can get through this drama for sure, guys after this drama ends I'm not sure if I'll still able to watch the next family drama because I'm sure I won't be able to move on right away either from it because this drama holds so many memories for me and we are here for 5/6 months so after this, I'll definitely miss everyone's here especially those who gave fair feedback on this drama.
Can’t believe the main couple are still the greenest flag/least toxic couple I’ve ever seen. Honestly communicating…
I agree with your opinion 💯 Honestly we always think the same about every story contained in each episode of this drama, I appreciate that you understanding exactly what this drama's story is about and you get how the traits of each character here..
Honestly even second FL is not perfect character either, that's why this is my least favorite drama from Jin Se Yeon because the plot stirs up arguments so that the biased fans and hater commenters can take advantage of it..
The episodes 23-24 are still interesting epi and I still like the good humor so far in this drama, anyway despite the repeated feud between the ML and FL's fathers and FL's mom & ML's stepmother, there are still some good things happen in these episodes between our main couple! 😍😍
I'm glad that finally Ju A had the courage to admit from their co fashion designers that the one her really dating is Yang Hyeon Bin, I like this part between them 🥰🥰
And there are the beautiful and sweet moments between Ju A and Hyeon Bin 🩷🩷
Actually the only thing that I don't like the fake boyfriend parts, but I hope at the right time Ju A and Hyeon Bin will also be able to admit to their families about their real relationship, no matter what happens and I hope they don't keep this hidden for too long anymore..
About Ju A's mother, though she is not a perfect mother but even if there is a possibility of her getting sick, but I hope she still doesn't die until the end, I want to see her change, honestly I've gotten traumatized by the family dramas, I've been hearing about their other family characters die even it's unnecessarily, I hope the writer in this drama doesn't copy or follow that same pattern, this is a heartwarming and light-hearted drama, so I hope not a single character dies in this drama no matter what each family's attitude is, what's needed here is for everyone to change and not death, they're only fighting because of their runaway grandparents/parents/spouses but there isn't really any serious villain here, this is just a family conflict that needs to be fixed..
Episode 25: Trailer it's a spring time, I like their cherry blossoms background 🌸🌸🌸
Actually sometimes the mind of writer Park Ji Sook is always unpredictable but even though this drama has a problems or arguments in other part of episode but she still writes it with a happy parts that's why the flow of story is still interesting..
Like I said before family life isn't always a rainbow, it's natural to have fights in this kind of situation because in the plot it's clear that there is a family feud, as long as they don't know the real story about their parents/ grandparents/ spouses who ran away the ML and FL's fathers and also FL's mother and & ML's stepmother definitely going to keep arguing repeatedly and that's their role but of course I hope the writer still handles the story in a right way, so the whole story stays consistent until the end..
Btw...I noticed there is a 2nd users named @Criticasinfiltro the reviewer above in this site who gave this drama a 1 percent straight and even left a destructive review in this drama he/she is definitely a troll, most of the time not all but some of the commenters on MDL are really haters and not real commenters that's why the ratings keep changing and inconsistent, we need a fair reviewers or commenters in this site and we don't need a toxic haters, so those who are interested watching this drama won't get confused..
Despite the fluctuating ratings of Recipe for Love in MDL.
But I'm still glad that Jin Se Yeon as Gong Ju A and Yoo Ho Jung as Han Seong Mi are still included in top 30 of Drama Actor Brand Reputation Rankings this April 🎉🎉🎉
It's nice to see that the k-viewers are still enjoying the mother and daughter, Jin Se Yeon and Yoo Ho Jung's performance 🥰🥰
Congratulations to both of them and to the entire Recipe for Love team! 👏👏👏
This is unrelated topic but just wanna share that the movie The King's Warden looks interesting through the MV, I'm starting to become a fan of the actors and actresses here they all seem great 🤩🤩🤩
I suddenly remembered The Flower In Prison starring by Jin Se Yeon, veteran actor/actress Kim Mi Sook and Joo Jin Mo who also part of Recipe for Love, their historical drama will be also 10th Anniversary this month and now while I'm watching them in Recipe for Love, I always remember them in The Flower In Prison and how they became friends during that drama, time flies I followed this drama back 2016 and now we are on 2026, I'm happy they got a chance to reunite in Recipe for Love, what a memorable moment? 🥰
After Recipe for Love or maybe in the future I'm hoping to see Jin Se Yeon in historical drama again, I suddenly missed her in this genre.
Yes, I'm also hoping that this drama turns out for the best 🙏
