Didn’t expect to enjoy this one. I love the pacing!

A little rant though, Jung Hye could easily end up in jail for kidnapping and illegally detaining of grandpa CEO, so why the heck she got away? This is on top of her other charges. Anyway, not complaining I am excited to see her downfall next week.

And what was that? Seo Do Guk also has a timer in his wrist same as Yi Joo? Lols, Twinkling Watermelon 2.0 time travelling companion?

So I forced myself to finish it since I already invested time watching it. If this gets a S2, count me out. There are far more nicer dramas that deserve a sequel than this. HELLO NETFLIX, FUND VAGABOND SEASON 2 INSTEAD.

I’d have to say that I enjoyed the first 4 episodes but went down the drain. Still couldn’t get the childish of Nam Soon. It is very cringey. I must say it doesn’t suit her Korean-Mongolian babytalking. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good comedy but this one is not my cup of tea. But I find the weakling uncle who couldn’t even lift an ant really funny though.

The vagrant couple was a missed opportunity. I have always wondered what important role they have to play and wished their backstory was explored deeper. I thought at first that the lady vagrant would get a job opportunity at one of Nam-soon’s family business, but heck no. At least the dude did a bit of contribution.

There’s a lot of rants I wish to say but I do not wish for another minute of my time to get wasted. I will move forward now and forget this drama. I feel sorry for the prequel Strong Girl Bong Soon coz that one was really nice and enjoyable.

While the FL is a good actress, her recent dramas were a missed. She was good at Squid Game and All of Us Are Dead but the last three I’ve seen (this one, Connect and the sports drama I didn’t like). She better pick well in the next ones.

Overall, not recommended.

So far so good! I hope the momentum continues. Chemistry is there!

As a sucker for Han Ji Pyeong, my gold standard for the syndrome, Woohak doesn’t even come close.

Not gonna lie, I tried the first two episodes are flat and I’m getting a bad feeling about it. I am giving this a try because of the Ye Jin from Taxi Driver, not much of ML. I’m still on the fence so I will give it until EP4. I usually decide if it’s worth watching after 4 episodes max. If I still get the same feel, will drop it and just read spoilers from here.

I am no fan of both actors so I can say this without bias that Bo Geol is a much better fit for MH. Woohak is a good dude but yeah I find his character annoying. But I’d take him to be a close boy friend than a boyfriend anytime! He seems cool.

The first half was ok, then it went flat for me. The only thing that keeps me watching is Yichan and Seung Ah. The plot is just on a loop that it became a chore to watch past EP12.

As much as I like Seo In Ah as an actress esp in Business Proposal, I don’t like her character that much here. I always cringe when she’s always surrounded by boys like she’s Miss Korea so many times in this show, like wth once is enough to establish that many dudes like her. But realistically speaking, does being mobbed or surrounded like that really happen in real life? I get pissed everytime I see scenes like that.

I find Yichan and Seun Ah’s love arc is fare more interesting and sincere in this whole drama.

Unpopular opinion: This show is good if made only 12 episodes. It felt draggy tbh.

I also think Bo Geol is Kiho. On the last day of his waiting at the Seoul station, if I saw it right, I think he was wearing a military uniform (clue was the dress cap). Maybe Kiho was about to meet her one last time before his enlistment. So how could someone who lost his memory in high school wait for her? We all know that military conscription in Korea starts as early as 18 or after you graduate from high school.

There’s a phenomenon called transference in psychology, that I could think of, that one’s memories is distorted and has a tendency to own it despite not being his. There’s a chance that the real Kiho could have vented out his experience to Woohak so it confused him as his own when it isn’t. That is one logical explanation I can think of.

If Bo Geol isn’t Kiho, how did he know about Mokha’s waiting at the old Seoul station for that bait Kiho meet-up if he isn’t the one? He just dashed away without even reading the note or asking his brother about it on the cafeteria of the meeting place on the card. Remember that Kiho supposedly lost all the memories in high school so there’s no way for him (in this case Woohak) to know, even if one argues that Woohak told Bo Geol? I still think Bo Geol is Kiho.

Haha! I think this is why they casted a seemingly “co-equal” famous actors to hide what the writer has in mind. With her last project in Start-up, we cannot deny that Nam Joo Hyuk is a bigger actor than KSH so it kinda spoils the plot somehow but they weren’t expecting that KSH will own the role so well that it would somewhat make more sense for Han Ji Pyeong to end up with Dalmi than Dosan.

There’s still his father’s threat too. And perhaps out of guilt, he decided to vanish since Mok Ha’s father died because they decided to run away.

Not to mention she bedded SJS/Matthew Lee and got pregnant, and now she’s onto the real heir. 🤣

I had a very strange feeling that the writer kinda taunted us when Ran Joon trampled on the fake glasses of the CEO. It’s like smashing the fake eyeglasses of Woo Hak pretending to be Ki Ho. 😂

The only reason I can think of lies on Ki Ho’s last words to Mok Ha before he left her onboard.

“Let’s part ways here. When you get to Seoul…”

1. Change your name like Ran Joon.
2. Forget everyone on this island. (Including friends and even me - “Ki Ho”).
3. That way, your father won’t find you.

Instead of Mok Ha, he did it when he got to Seoul. Mok Ha still hasn’t done anything like this even after 15yrs later.

That ghost singing proposal to reach 20 million albums to get half of RJ Ent is a brewing legal battle. I am afraid that if Ran Joon is up to using Mok Ha’s singing voice to collect sales and rise back to stardom, and if the CEO later on finds it out, could be a strong ground to strip off Ran Yoon of her claims due to fraud.

And also, we all know that Ran Joon is also from an island as mentioned in the early episodes. Correct me if I’m wrong but from the same island Mok Ha and Ki Ho came from. How old is Ran Joon present time? (Just like Han Mone from the other show) I am getting a very strange maternal aura coming from Ran Joon. I couldn’t shake off the feeling of Ran Yoon left a child on the island to become a singer. We all know that both Mok Ha and Ki Ho’s mothers escaped the island. This may sound cliche but I feel that Ran Joon is Mok Ha’s mom, if only we can have more info on her and back story (she might have escaped postpartum that’s why the child doesn’t recognize the mom to follow her dreams and did a Matthew Lee you-wont-recognize-me-makeover) But I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case. I find it odd that the show is seemingly avoiding talking about backstories relating to their moms, on purpose or not?

If Dami is alive, as much as I hate it, we’ll have a love triangle in the works.

Depending on how the show will introduce him, as you can see the show has no respect for age anymore like wth would a 20s guy suddenly turn into a middle man overnight through plastic surgery. And going around wearing hyper realistic mask of others, even his old face.

But for starters, Chairman Bang’s son plot is still out there, he could be Chairman Bang’s son or Dami’s helper / love interest if she’s still alive. So many possibilities depending on how crazy the writer will go about.

And he’s supposed to be around Min Do Hyuk’s age, too since they were swapped after birth. How am I to process this crap? Haha
