Oh that reference to Park Bo-Young and SR's rational cell - now I gotta rewatch!!! Too cute.

He does carry the load for the entire village LOL

Yes, I too loved SunRok's village. It's so beautiful and subtly shows that inner beauty is something to be valued. There is a lot under the surface of people (especially the quiet ones) that we gloss over and never take the time to find out/understand. Def going to rewatch this series a few times to savor all those little details. Agreed, very lovingly done too.

Agreed! I am so happy that my favorite actresses are not cast aside as they get into their 30s - Kim Go Eun, Shin Hye Sun, Park Bo-young, and many others. I want to enjoy their work for a long time so who cares if they are paired with younger MLs? None of them look their age anyway.

LOL that is too long term beyond "happily ever after"

I hope so! I would love if they could do a series on their dating/married life and maybe speak to potential challenges in age difference because that is a topic glossed over with the "happily ever after". But then it would probably mean original content outside of webtoon so probably no rights from original webtoon writer. So sadly chances are low here.

The fight scene in the flower field was hilarious. Love that they made it more "realistic" as to how 2 nerds might fight. Also it is too short for them to develop the love to marriage arc in only 2 episodes. I want to see more of SunRok's cell village - its such a cool looking place and it feels like there is so much depth to him than meets the eye. I am going to have to rewatch episodes even before this drama ends.

So I didn't understand what the FL and his ex (the VP's secretary) mean when they both said he is ideal for the PM role? Was it because he is reputed to be a f-boy (given how he is so popular with the women in ep 1) or bcoz in spite of his alleged "reputation" he is a goody two shoes at heart? I do love the quick family setup where he's "hen-pecked" at home with 3 older sisters LOL which so explains how he views his new boss as well. Seems like we will learn the real reason she put him in Team 3 and I doubt it's because she caught him in the stairwell or doesn't like him (since we are only seeing it all from his POV). I also think she likes to tease him to bring him down a notch or two. I can relate as I do that in my workplace with cocky male colleagues - although not so in your face as she does but that's drama.
This drama is so well crafted. Such a satire of Korean workforce culture. I love the scene where he tries to recall if it was her back he saw and it pans to all the women wearing the same work "uniform". When I visited Seoul and did some people watching, it cracked me up that EVERYONE dressed in white, black and if there was color, beige or baby blue. The only people who were colorful were the retired ajummas and ajusshis in the park who dressed to the nines in all kinds of colored athleisure for exercising in the park. LOL.

So far a great show of course you have the Queen herself SHS and I also like 2ML. Not familiar with ML but hey getting much more with that dressing room scene LOL. He's seriously buff. Love the role reversal where the FL is the cold-hearted boss and the ML is eye candy. I know SHS has done serious drama but nothing tops it for me above Mr Queen. She has comedic timing down like no one else in the industry. And the nicknames for everyone in the office - especially his new teammates in Team 3. White blood cell LOL.

Kim Go Eun is the queen of course - I am in awe of how she goes from that gritty prison-bound character in Price of Confession to this introverted writer who falls in love. Amazing acting chops. I think KJW will surprise us as the episodes progress. He's on point with what his character is meant to depict so far.

Who's here just waiting for SunRok's love cell to show up? I so wanna see what his love cell looks like and behaves. It will be super cute I am sure. So far we've only seen a few of his cells. Wonder if like hers coming out of hibernation, when he falls in love, his village comes alive as well - even when he is outside. Or when he sees her or is with her.

So waiting for his love cell to show up!

I wonder if they changed up her character. The Isabelle here is way too old to be even in contention for ML's love interest.

I sure hope they show that marriage scene in the drama - it would be a nice cap to the 3 seasons for Yumi.

Kim Go Eun is the queen - so natural in conveying any emotion or character. And she never over acts. Yes, she is able to make us all feel the sense of puppy love again. I am in awe of how she bounced from gritty Price of Confession to this sweet rom-com. And made me believe in both those characters.

Yes for sure. When it comes to work team activities, the pressure to comply is so annoying, sigh...I have been known to skip dinners etc but I am sure that is not helping my career advancement at all.

I know right? I will need to rewatch this as soon as it's done. Wish they did more episodes...kinda sad thinking it will be over so soon and we will say gb to the cute cells.

Count on one hand. 6 years difference so one hand has only 5 fingers. In the promo interviews, Kim Go Eun mentioned Yumi is the same biological age as she is so 35. Of course in RL, the actor is actually 10 years younger. They aged him by a few years so it's 6 year difference.

The lightning bolts were meant to depict how love can strike someone inexplicably. So I think she was not even aware of it happening until it did. Maybe that is the kind of once in a lifetime love...?

Go back to when the lightning strikes started happening. They were trying to depict how love sometimes hits you inexplicably. Very creative way to do it as well. as I think it took her completely unawares (her cells were wondering where the heck the lightning came from).
