This is/has become a common sentiment here the past weeks and i am happy the drama gets slowly but surely more (well-deserved) love. And also welcome to the "I do not stare at the episode countdown clock willing it to go faster" club now 🤣

Haha thanks, and i love them for it. Tho by now Chawoong has given up all pretend of NOT being utterly whipped, of course.🤣 He is as Mr. Queen/Sobong would say "All in" ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

MdL shat the bed once more lmao

Which is fitting because this drama here is the new work of the Mystic Pop Up Bar writer 😉😁 And hard same. Haven't seen such a in all regards well-balanced and executed drama since Mr. Queen. (Crazy Love and Vincenzo are close seconds/thirds tho)

Oh that's a relief. Good to know 😊

Haha, no stress friend this drama will be ready for you when you are 😘

It's one of these "I'd lay my life for you down in a heartbeat, always worry about you and trust you implicitly, but me in love? Hah, noooo! (and the other would never want me anyway)" idiots in love pairings with an added long married couple bickering dynamic and bonus chaos wherever they go, tbh xD

I still adore Mr. Queen as my no.1 too much, but FNOS has definitely taken the no.2 spot of all time faves... sorry crazy love, lol.

Quality prevails in the end after all 😎😎😎

This should be the trailer for the Seul Hae and Chawoong romance tbh, as it is not to spoilery, but still so very ~(˘▾˘~)

While this shows more of their chaotic, complex dynamic (bicker, bicker haha)

Here a small but fine list of dramas i find genuinely funny AND well written:

Crazy Love (the most romcom-y from this list lol)
https://kisskh.at/706923-crazy-love
(best use dramacool etc to watch as it is on Disney+ and not widely available)

Dali And The Cocky Prince: (also very romcom-y w/ light murder mystery)

From Now On Showtime ( still airing and a current fave of mine and sadly so underrated/overlooked):

Hope that helps (◕‿◕✿)

It is a discount version of the american "Jane the virgin" TV show tbh. I watch it but i am pretty meh about it thus far. It lost all its OG quirky charm as the drama plays the wackiness of it too straight. Basically just imagine if FNOS would take itself too serious. It is a serious disconnect between plot/situation and the tone/feel of it.

I think it was more a betrayal to Chawoong that Choi omitted to tell him the truth and lied to him all this time than the actual betrayal in the past life. Hence why he was lashing out, it was hurtful bc he trusted him and once more CCW was just "used/played a fool" instead of respected. Like ppl did before with his grandfather and that by the supposed spirit of his family. Ouch.

Oh, pls do as it is a more somber/introspective version of FNOS, basically. First and second episode are a bit slow-ish with all the set up of backstory and characters but then it gets rolling. And I loved the concept of going into people's dreams to solve their sorrows. It has a wonderful and equally tragic past lovers story as well which has bearings on the present times. FNOS is better paced in many regards, but still don't give up if first eps or so doesn't grab you, it is very well worth a watch (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Two episodes in and, like with Mystic Pop Up Bar, to name an instance, I don't understand why everyone is complaining about FL. She is rightfully suspicious of ML atm and there is nothing wrong with that. The only thing i hope to happen is her going to be more multifaceted as the drama progresses (as it happened with FL in MPUB), otherwise I have seen faaaaar worse FL than her by a long mile.

Well, it is indeed a hard watch if you don't like the genre (aka fantasy), of course 😁

Highly recommend it tho. Criminally underrated drama due to any lack of promotion by its network/viki (aka scompi). Well this is not the only thing it shares with Crazy Love tho. They also have a similar wacky, quirky kind of humor 😁

And it is, like Woori, on Viki too (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I second/third that "From Now On Showtime" rec. Actually funny and quirky humor, characters and situations instead of well, it all being mildly so (if at all)

As netflix is the only legal option to watch i say it goes to dramacool, lol. Nah, probably an ending licence thing, hence why they pull it from the platform. Gotta hurry and catch up on it before that tho :)

I'm fully enjoying PHJ's acting as Cha Chawoong in the currently airing magic fantasy drama "From Now On Showtime," (From the same writer of Mystic Pop Up Bar) so i need to watch more of his filmography and truly proficient acting.

This drama here wasn't on my radar until i saw that PHJ plays the ML in it tbh. And since it leaves Netflix soon, what better time to catch up on it hehe.
