Lmfao. That's the shiz I luv.

Yeah I find the comedy between Dong Man and his coach a bit out of place and cheesy. But then I have a love/hate relationship with kdrama comedy, so...

That's the only thing I worry about. Tbh I'm not a big fan of lifetime friends to lovers dramas because they don't strike me as realistic. The friendzone is too powerful a force (just my experience). The fact that it's working well here, so far, testifies to a great start. We'll see...

Thank God, a drama about ordinary people rather than CEOs and chaebols. I'm in for the premise alone. I'm a real Scrooge when it comes to Korean comedy but I love how they're integrating it here. Oh, and any kdrama that uses a track from A Man and a Woman instantly gets my approval. If the rest of the drama is as good as the start, it'll be fantastic.

I think OST 1 was better than the drama.

The acting isn't bad but the writing is really corny. Nothing feels natural at all imo, except maybe the father x son dynamic. Tons of histrionics. There are way better lakorns.

Topped out in ep7/8 imo.

No I think the child is just a symbol for her regrets in ep1 and fear of becoming her mother.

This drama was on life support with me up until the last two eps. Then the doc came in and gave the chemistry a dinosaur sized shot of epi.

Been wondering the same thing. Pretty good music in this series but that short riff is a major standout imo.

The fire that started this series is really fizzling. I'm unfortunately not seeing any of the chemistry of 1%, the plot is falling into the troughs of mediocrity, and the comedy doesn't work at all. Personally, I think his secretary is stealing the show. His biting into that strawberry was the funniest thing so far. I'm cautiously optimistic moving forward with this one...

Noticed that too on Viki. I used to look forward to the time-stamp comments because some are LOL funny.

That's my guess. Sort of a lite version of Loving, Never Forgetting. I'm betting on some good feels later on. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

They need to clone this director. Something About 1%, My Secret Romance...this kind of romcom realism is what kdrama needs.

Interesting. By crisis, I assume you mean the pregnancy. I've seen several which used that trope and I've enjoyed them, esp Back to 1989 and Loving, Never Forgetting (Denny had a much better character and voice over in this one imo). None of them could be described as 'lite' though, so that take on pregnancy could really throw me for a loop.

Thanks - you probably saved me hours of frustration lol.

How far are you? I'm @ ep12 and debating whether to drop this. None of the side stories are going anywhere and the OTP's interaction has been 99% 'cute' comedic banter *cringe*. Weird too because I usually prefer cdramas handling of that genre over others, but here it just feels romantically uninspired - like it's trying to mimic an overrated kdrama lol. Does it get better? The OTP have so much potential but the writing is driving me nuts...
