I'm in love with PSH after she beat up Cha from sobangcha and then screamed at So. I could feel her rage and frustration.

I really really wish KB's dad talked it over with his daughter who is a money expert but I guess not because they don't want to rely on their kids for help

there's no way she can end up with someone romantically, let's think about some other 1997/1998 kdramas we know about... you thought the amensia truck was kdrama's biggest enemy, the imf crisis is the real one to look out for. it's affected at least 3 generations of koreans. albert is too young for her and the president is too unethical for her

I'm really liking the strangers to friends before lovers dynamic between the leads!! but yeah, rn the written characters def have more chemistry than the actors on screen

the first 6 eps kind of felt like legend of the blue sea if it was made in 2024, like faster paced but this strong feeling of inevitable fate between the leads. they also have a lot of casual moments where they click together as ppl on top of their conflict moments. I like the chicken feeding scene. the characters are really fun but still have this "normal" quality about them that is refreshing and relatable and grounded

also the arrogant male lead tag was what made me uninterested in the drama (and lomon in branding in seongsu but that's not his fault) but I don't think the ML is the arrogant im-better-than-you type, just self loving. I feel like the first ep made his character traits confusing to me as a viewer

my favorite guy is the curly hair glasses guy! too bad he can't be the ML for the FL

I love it when characters have a crush on the FL but albert just doesn't match hong geum bo for me. maybe in the next episodes he'll warm up to me tho. but a third male lead option wouldn't be a bad idea

I'm with you! I wish they put in a little more effort in making the props accurate to the time like hiring a late 90s expert maybe but I guess they spent time and energy on other parts of the dramas. surely an old school mouse with the ball wouldn't be hard to find from someone's grandparents but maybe they forgot mice with red lights wouldn't have existed

I have to say the editing style for this drama is really fun! I like the visual style they went with when it was showing flashbacks of the FL's past with her ex lover. it's like a corny old kdrama becuase it kind of was lol. at first I was leaning towards her ex as the ML that I want to "win" bc I love ex lovers getting back together, but after the reveal I'm over him. I'm not rly into albert either tho

also, I was hoping this series was a female friendship group type of story because of the opening animation and now it's really starting to feel like that! and FL's 20 year old look and haircut and kind of growing on me now. I thought PSH looked cute in Seon Jae's dad's imagination

oh yes! that's what I thought but I wanted to double check. so far I'm liking the way the FL is written too. silly and ambitious at the same time

I'm glad the drama is being self aware of the fact that psh does not look like a 20 year old. PSH is beautiful but more mature looking than youthful. I'm wondering what other characters are lying about their age and identity too

1st ep had so much business talk and name intros that I don't think are important to remember but ep 2 picked up!

wait wdym by psh has let herself go?

there are better cliche kdramas out there like Legend of the Blue Sea but this one was fine. Back in my day, the cliche kdramas were 16-20 eps long and the amensia plot was a drag but it had impact. My lasting gripe with Dynamite Kiss is that they pushed all that in the last eps onto the viewers then closed it's doors. I don't want more, but better closure would have been nice. I guess it's good that we can assume that the younger sister will get to see her fam and have some more support in her life. I started Dynamite Kiss because these comments said that it reminded of old kdramas and I think the last eps did continue to prove that, just all in 14 eps instead

don't forget Legend of the Blue Sea! tbh I think it's the gold standard for cliche done well. Actually, maybe since it's an earlier drama it's wasn't THAT cliche. but it checks all the boxes: rich ML, FL strapped for cash, leads met under fate-like and unsual circumstances, time skip, amnesia iirc, running from gangsters, near death accidents, betrayal, sick mothers and chaebols I think. It has all the cliches but doesn't forget to put it's own flair on them

why is the web adress "song-hye-kyo-and-lee-eung-bok-pd-drama"?

I enjoyed it a lot! but I didn't like how sudden the next high stakes life threatening events would abruptly happen, barely any transition and making me confused about how we got to this scenario. I think that's because how there were only 12 eps in total. Judging by the comments tho, if it was a 16 ep drama for example ppl would have gotten bored. The characters and feelings were all there but the short and fast run time made it hard to fully connect which is a shame. The tragic stories were pushed and pulled back and forth, I feel like it was unfair in a way but maybe the webtoon goes into more detail.

I wish there was more Yu Ri and Min Hyeok screentime

s korea DOES have a problem with needless fat shaming and the desire to be underweight and lookism, but this drama doesn't romanticize that in the way you think it does. to give the benefit of the doubt, we can't really see the FL's body because she wears baggy clothes in the beginning so you also can't just assume her body is healthy. it was more than just losing weight for her fitness journey too, she's an office worker who had bad stamina and stiffness from sitting around too much. but going to the gym became a healthy routine for her that improved her mind, not just her body.

what I'm trying to tell you is that this drama didn't really focus on improving looks, but improving oneself. becoming more confident, socializing at the gym, and also taking care of your body. I think it's been a very funny and tasteful drama, and it even addressed the crazy behavior of wanting to just eat chicken breast and working out too much. there were a lot of silly skit moments too that I think would be a shame to miss out on because of your initial impression

do we know why her boyfriend from episode 1 broke up with her? I don't remember if the reason was ever mentioned

how were the first 6 eps? I don't usually watch jdramas but this sounds interesting

the first 2 eps were goofy but good, I have a feeling the rest of eps will be similar too. Choi Hyunwook's baby face is rly funny in this drama but it works very well. He's trying very hard to be someone he is not, a serious CEO? no! a boy who likes to read manga and dance at the rock club. in both cases he wants to present himself as cool tho and it's entertaining. Sometimes strong FLs are portrayed as plain rude or put in circumstances where their strength becomes a disadvantage, but so far the FL's assertiveness has been received well by the supporting characters and I appreciate that
