Good news - the Love Scout bluray got confirmed today!
So eventually people will be able to see all the deleted scenes - including Na Gyurim's friendship scenes with KJY and making of the balcony Backhug (which was really popular with domestic viewers).

They seem more like best buddies. I suppose there is now no reason why it can't blossom into romance, but of course we have the childhood first love background to help steer them towards a relationship.

Having picked up dramas again after a gap of ~1 year, I have noticed people generally focus on 'visuals' followed by age gap between leads, then they want to know if there is romance in it.
Personally I look at genre and whether the storyline has any appeal to me. Bonus if there is someone I know in it!

Thanks!

Looks like I need to start watching after all...drunk aegyo worked its magic
Does the ML recognise FL from childhood?

It's also Number 1 on netflix in Indonesia!
(4th in South korea)

Oh wow I thought lovely runner would already be on there....it made the leads so popular! I have yet to watch it too.

Crash Landing on You
Fight for my way

^^ those are my favourites other than Love scout.

It's gone up to 8.0 now. That sounds about right after 2 episodes setting up the story.

I think it refers to metabolic age which can differ to actual age based on health and lifestyle (in her case, liver)

I wonder whether they mean metabolic age and it is lost in translation?
I found out recently you can have an older metabolic age (based on body fat, muscle mass etc.) compared to actual age and this depends on health and lifestyle.

Several years ago I had never heard of Quiznos until I started watching kdramas. Can't remember if it was Beautiful Gong Shim or Jealousy Incarnate. Then imagine my surprise when I found out it was in my country (but far away from me) since 2001!
Over here Subway and Pret a manger are the most popular sandwich shops.
We don't really have product placements in our dramas, which leads me to wonder how they do get funded. Although we have loads of adverts.

It seems that TvN has lost the ability to write sensible, likeable female characters in this time slot recently.
They had Queen of Tears and Jeongnyeon last year...

In terms of comedy before the romance, I think Undercover High School has a bit of a headstart. Will wait for 2-4 episodes before deciding.

I wonder if his school experiences led him to embark on his chosen career so he could always stand up for himself.

If he's her first love then I guess it makes sense in this case. It's kinda cute and offsets the teacher-student thing for me a little bit.

I think Stranger is great - but I have to pay close attention to it or I'm likely to miss the small details! His character Seo Dong Jae is the total opposite of Love Scout though, but that highlights why he is such a good and versatile actor.
365 is probably the better choice to see him play a protagonist.
(I've also noticed that his look can dramatically change depending on what hairstyle he has. Fluffy brown hair in 365!)

I might start watching once she knows who he really is.

What do you like?
I'm watching him in Stranger and Are you Human? right now. I've heard great things about 365: repeat the year and designated survivor 60 days as well.
