I actually loved these two episodes. Can't wait for tomorrow's episode.
Totally agree. Some really unpredictable twists and gut-wrenching acting by the FL and ML. ; I am insanely invested. I’m now literally counting down until we get our next serve.
Wow this went downhill fast in terms of character stupidity. Masters of self-manipulation and miscommunication,…
I agree. It must suck for the actors to have to bring the script to life when it’s so poorly written. The last two episodes annoyed me enough to drop this— the adults have started being straight-up infantile and I’m not here for it.
The male and female leads of this drama generate so much genuine warmth in every scene where they are together. I find their chemistry completely believable and I can’t stop smiling. They really work well together.
I’m enjoying so much about this drama; from the beautiful costumes, to the subtle gestures, to the magnificent tea ceremony, to the melodic sounds of the traditional instruments. I find it very immersive and I’m happy to be transported in every episode. It’s so refreshing to see strong female friendships and a clever female lead, and a male lead who genuinely respects the intelligence of his partner so far. I really hope this drama can maintain the current quality because I’m loving it.
all the secondary characters are so well developed and so likable, great show so far
I agree. In some room coms as soon as the plot moves away from the main leads I start to feel bored and frustrated, and it feels like filler. I don’t feel that way at all in this show. I also like the overall vibe and pacing.
I really like this drama so far. I find all the side plots and characters interesting and humorous, and the show has a good heart. I think it helps that I’m genuinely intrigued by the business. Honestly, it’s perfect to unwind after a hectic week. Looking forward to tonight’s episode.
Thanks for your kind comment. I totally agree that the Western media will probably never do it as well as what we see in KDramas: there’s not that sensitivity to subtlety. I feel like the ‘writers room’ on many Western dramas must be full of teenage boys with no EQ and no idea why EQ is even valuable. I just hope that KDramas don’t become Westernised to appeal to Netflix and international audiences, and lose what makes them so good.
First, unlike many FLs, our girl doesn't keep her former crush dangling; she forces him to acknowledge that he is at least in part responsible for his shit-show love life and looks askance at him.
Second, it has the thing that I love the most about Kdramas; quiet love. Growing up in the West, I have stupid ideas about love being a big ego trip and a never-ending arm wrestle, where you hook up with someone as a balm for your insecurity until the buzz wears off and you move on to the next ego feeder.
It wasn't until I started watching Kdramas that I found the quiet love I was (unknowingly) looking for. The beautiful consideration of the feelings of others, that is gentle and not manipulative. The true generosity of spirit that does not need reciprocation. I LOVE how the FL cares for the ML, and how it penetrates his heart. Watching this was like hot chocolate when there is snow outside.
I watched episode 1 and I loved it. It is really funny but I hope they don't drag the Hari pretending to be Youngseo…
I agree that the humour is really fresh. All the tropes are there but it's the fresh, off the wall humour that has me choking with laughter. I hope it keeps this up the whole way through.
It delivered what I was wanting. Ultra tropey, super cringy, laugh out loud funny, cute sismance, funny bromance, fast pace, stunning leads. Can't wait for the next episode to drop.
I’d love to watch this in high quality but Viki doesn’t have it in my country (Australia) and while I’ve seen a few DVDs for sale, I can’t find one with English subs. I then tried Kissasian & Dramacool but the quality is terrible. I really want to watch this drama so please point me in the direction of where I can watch/get a copy with English subs where the quality isn’t really bad.
I will never finish this drama. I got 33 minutes into episode 17 and was crying so much that I can hardly even see out of my eyes. I’ve turned into a huge snot beast.
Life is tough enough at the moment without subjecting myself to this ending.
Yes, I am sure it’s both perfect and necessary. But my heart hurts too much for the ML who lived his whole life alone. I cannot watch him suffer anymore. Jun Ho’s acting would put me in hospital, I swear. Still crying as I type this and I didn’t even make it to the end, I’m so weak. I mean, I knew it was coming, I did my research. But why not let him have just a few more moments of peace and companionship? Episode 17 was like being hit by a car and then beaten on the ground. I just read a spoiler so now I know I made the right decision for me to stop watching when I did, because it sounds like it was only downhill from there….(sobs inconsolably into pillow).
