I Picked Up A Star on the Road is stockholm syndrome the drama, from what i gathered, lol. Not my cuppa but i would appreciate some more dark humor shows without the icky things like falling in love with your kidnapper, bc yikes. Anyway while no gallow humor in terms of neverending comedy i can highly recommend Welcome to Waikiki. Especially since you liked Mr. Queen (highfive :D) since KJH is a whacky but wholesome dork in there in a main role haha.

*BADLY photoshopped pics

there i fixed it (them being so poorly made makes it all the more amusing tbh)

aww, they were not in your list i checked, that is why i mentioned them. I'm amused you have more dropped than watched shows btw XD Anyway, tis best to not ask MDL whether or not to pick a drama back up and instead just try and see for yourself if you are ending up liking it after all, since it is all subjective ☺

Yes. I dropped it too and then gave it another chance and ended up liking it very much for the bittersweet romance. Reminded me a lot of extraordinary you in this regard. A tip tho: FFW thru the second lead scenes with the stupid, disjointed love triangle plot and focus on main leads instead.

Also can rec Dali and the cocky prince, Mr. Queen, Weightlifting Fairy KBS, thirty but seventeen... to name a few if you wanna counteract your slump :D

Haha, pretty much. This is also why the last episode was not "back to square one" but more a cheeky visual throwback to it by the writers, as their dynamic has since long changed. Which we will see in episode 9, i guess.

Spoiler tags for new watcher, please ;) Also could be a red herring since it is too much on the nose. We will see tho

The day after he kissed Shinah to deceive Sooyoung, Gojin's heart races whenever he looks at Shinah. Shinah experiences the same when looking at him. Sooyoung attempts to find out if Gojin/Shinah are really engaged. Nerves frayed due to Sooyoung, Gojin insults Shinah who then tells him (in anger) she would leave (and not return.)

My eyes twitch a little at the very literal/bad english translation so lemme clean this up a little, lol:

He is already changing, but little by little which suits such a "jerk" character much better than a sudden 180 to nice. Also while he did the harsh "lipstick on a pig"remark after Sin Ah's makeover in classic kdrama trope fashion was revealed, his long awed stare at her before that told otherwise🤭

I watched the recent episode late at night and was too tired to sort in my twofold opinion about it... so your post helps a lot here. Exactly how i see it too. I think the writers mirrored the "starting bullying scene" with the coffee for shit and giggles bc a lot is now different between them and will continue to change. It was more a throwback to it visually than back to square one dynamic-wise.

Yeah, same. i always find it uncomfortable/annoying to watch, no matter which drama/show etc, ngl.

I mean, tell me i am wrong haha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0z7S-mJRLI

Yeah it has been super-extra from the start with lots of eccentric (also in a good way) side and main characters. Ngl, the dark poster definitely does not sell the overall "quirky but more than meets the eye" charm of the drama I'm glad to have finally discovered, however late. I put off watching it thinking it was a dry action tale of revenge. Lol, oh how wrong i was xD

Those drama are so hard to find, like ever since i watched mr. queen a couple months ago, i have been pining for a drama that is as excellently blending all the different genres, aka comedy, romance, great, tight plot/character development, competent acting, lovable side characters/assholes you love to hate and a dash of action/angst as well as it my (now) fave kdrama does.

Four episodes in it seems vicenzo will finally scratch that itch. Ngl, I am still a bit wary of the 20 episodes format knowing how kdrama tend to drag later on, especially when every episode is basically movie-length, but so far I really enjoy my time with it, The whole "idealistic underdog(s) who want to make the shitty world a little less shitty in fighting against/rooting out the powerful, corrupt elite/clans with wits and fists" is not only a theme that i love but also another thing it has in common with Mr. Queen :D The main leads definitely also share the same awesome mix of chaotic/badass energy and have power couple already written over them, bless.

Also.... I love Hong Cha Young already so much. Like I have only known her for a couple of hours but if something were to happen to her i would kill everyone in this room and myself//BB 99 meme 🤭And I appreciate the duality of Vicenzo being a smart badass while also being very dumb/ a dorky idiot, haha. That is true King Cheoljong energy right here *runs off before making even more comparisons* 😂 🙃

Yeah in terms of extra and quirkiness (of characters and tone) it really reminds me of my all time fave kdrama mr.queen, ngl. So i very much approve, lol.

I love how much of a sulky kid he was when she did not come back, (great comedic acting too). Against his will, she has already taken root inside of him, and him wondering out loud if he was too rude to her is huge. But of course this does not last long as Sina is up to more or less severe pranks to ruin his day haha. It was so amusing to let him stumble from one beloved thing ruined to the other and see his reaction. Ofc now where she ain't terminally ill (the misdiagnosis was predictable but very welcomed plot point tbh) she will have many many regrets in hindsight haha.

I did not expect him to reveal himself to her so soon, which was an odd mixture of gotcha and trusting her at least enough to not be the culprit. But booooi does this open up possibilities for an interesting dynamic if/when they keep up the charade. Sina may not be ill, but Go Jin still can and probably will make her now longer life very miserable haha. This is so much fun to watch by now, i hope it keeps up.
