This really is getting better every week. It doesn't stop being funny or silly but, as the characters' backstories fill out, it keeps getting more human and compassionate.
It's a melodrama with a boner joke as a running gag and more suspicions of malpractice than a season of Chicago Med, all in a desperate search for the sort of happy ending that you might look for in a Cambodian massage parlor.
In a way it's fascinating. But maybe not in a good way. YMMV.
One thing about the character Jung Hwan, if you don't want any more kids and you get pregnant, you can go for…
Abortion is legal in Korea but this isn't some edgy Almodovar film. It's a K-drama. Nobody wants to mix abortion and comedy.
It would have been really hard to make a joke about him constantly knocking up his wife and then having four trips to the clinic instead of a house full of kids to show for it, ne?
the psycho killer arc was so out of place, you've voiced my inner thoughts so well
If you want to get really angry, you need to watch You Are My Spring. The combined talents of Seo Hyun-jin and Kim Dong-uk couldn't save that one from the psycho WTF-ness.
I think I will never not have a fundamental problem with the second couple. They're not just a supremely awkward match. Men who dress like that should not be allowed to breed. But the show somehow managed to get it right even there.
Just after it got really good in 9-11... it took a nosedive in the finale as it let the melo go too far and then hurriedly tried to close all the relationship arcs while it tried to cram every freckin' cliche that we were not going to miss into one episode. It was like the writers went "OMG LAST EPISODE!!!" and added meth to their coffee.
It's still good but they really missed an opportunity to make it special.
Seven episodes in I am completely puzzled about the popularity and rating of this drama. Light on storyline, low on chemistry, paced about as fast as old people walking in the park.
I feel like I'd be better off rewatching Hwayugi or Doom At Your Service.
This is good but i hate the useless plot but they the fuck is hsj prioritizing her dna lover over what she can…
The moral of the story so far is that love is not only visually challenged but also suffers from all sorts of other conditions that I could only express with un-PC ableist slurs.
I have to ask. If I thought that Business Proposal and King the Land were steaming piles of regressive, privileged doo-doo, do I have a chance of making it past episode 2 of this series?
Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of anything banana flavored. But the banana milk on LND (produced by Binggrae…
Before K-dramas I thought of banana milk as a European thing. Its existence almost faded from my memory in the US, where the omnipresent menace is your friend's mom's banana bread.
In a way it's fascinating. But maybe not in a good way. YMMV.

I'M ALREADY WATCHING THREE POLICE DRAMAS. I NEED NO FUCKING PSYCHO KILLERS IN MY COMEDIES! I KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM!
Looks like I'll be needing another three fluffy J-dramas to detox from this one.
It's still good but they really missed an opportunity to make it special.
I feel like I'd be better off rewatching Hwayugi or Doom At Your Service.
Strawberry rules.
