This drama is mocking my brain cells lol:
Brain Cells: Hmmm.... (Tries to understand drama.)
Drama: I don't need you.
Brain Cells: Huh!?!?

We should probably just rewatch it again since we can't find good ones. I miss that awesome trio and their dads.

I should check them out. I like Todome No Kiss, so I shall listen to your recommendations haha.

Same, dude. Same. Couldn't relate more. Cdramas=non-existent plot. Enjoy the fluff. Well occasionally, a drama like Go Ahead comes up. Highly recommended. Made me wish I had an awesome dad like the drama dad.

Chilbongie?!?! I thought the opposite thing happened. I mean there were a lot of Chilbong fans including me, so that ending made us angry. Actually, I couldn't even watch it. I should've done the same with this drama and both starred Go Ara. (Sigh.)

They couldn't have re-filmed it yesterday though. Even if the comments were from days before, the shooting constraints won't be able to change an entire episode script I would think.

Me too! And I just mentioned almost everything you said before. Less supporting characters and less episodes=save budget and time. Oh and most importantly, save plot! I don't know why this simple logic is not used in more Cdramas.

Haha I had to look up what ngl means. Romance is part of the plot, but the summary or the beginning of the story made it seem like it is much more than that as if it's going to focus about people with goals and dreams -- the start-up business. Thus, the title like you mentioned. I guess you and I expected more than just your average love triangle drama. I mean it is better than some dramas like that if that counts.

This is like the Reply series all over again, except the plot shouldn't have put romance at its core. It is about start-up businesses after all. So the shipping war makes less sense here when this is not like Reply where romance is the main focus.

I guess you could say the love triangle is misplaced, and I think the very reason is because the writer lost her focus towards the end (maybe she made a miscalculation or ran out of ideas).

I really love Ji Pyeong and halmoeni's relationship. That scene was the only scene that moved me in this drama besides the beginning when he first met halmoni when he was young.

I'm actually one of those viewers who doesn't take the romance too seriously. I came for the familly ties -- both the ones with blood ties (Dal Mi's family, especially her and her dad's bond) and the ones created through foster and care (halmoni and Ji Pyeong). I believe everybody in this drama (both leads and supporting) have their own arc. Ji Pyeong and halmoni, halmoni and Dalmi, halmoni and the mom, the two sisters, the sister and her self-exploration, Dosan and his dreams, Dosan and Dalmi, Ji Pyeong and Samsan Tech crew, Stephanie and her career change, etc. It's just a shame the writer decided to focus on the love triangle or romance towards the end when she could have explored all those arcs in more detail. She could've made it a slice-of-life story about following people in different walks of life and how their decisions impacted their here and now.

I'm still watching because of those small moving moments that made me want to meet and wish for people like halmoni and envy her loved ones who got to have her. And yeah, the interesting business aspect of a start-up company. I like the part where it feels like we are looking through the lens of both small and big companies.

Good question. Although this comment is 4 months late, I still want to give you an answer. In my 25 years of life experience, NO. Haha.

I watched (or dropped some) all the dramas on you mentioned, except for Ghost and Dr. Frost. Ghost has been on my list forever, so I should definitely watch it. I'm also glad you me mentioned Missing Noir M. I wrote a recap about it since it was that good (still waiting for season 2) but it was also very underrated because they don't have Hallyu actors, fluffy or cliche plot, and OCN wasn't that known yet at that time. It's still on of the best for me though.

True, but I just play games on my phone and look up to see if they're done with the fluff lol.

Special mention (not Asian Drama): Peaky Blinders - I love you, Cillian Murphy! You handsome and smart gangster! (Drinks whiskey and smokes a nonexistent cigarette.)

Sure, why not and probably you can recommend dramas that I am not watching lol. I'll leave out the ones that was already mentioned in the comments.

35sai no Shoujo - like 30 but 17 but serious and really good slice-of-life version.

Birthcare Center - unique plot and too funny and awesome.

Bokura wa Koi ga Hetasugiru - Shirasu Jun in a romance drama again. 'Nough said. You know what I'm talking about if you've watched I Don't Love You Yet (In Time With You Japanese version)

Delayed Justice - Kwon Sang Woo (you probably know this already).

Do Do La (blalala too long) - I bet you're already a fan.

Gokushufudo - Chiaki-senpai (Tamaki Hiroshi) switched roles with Nodame, except gangster lol.

Kiken na Venus - I like the actors but I put this on hold since I'm watching more interesting dramas.

Marry Me - also on hold for same reason as above. And female lead is just too nice and innocent.

Private Lives - you probably know. Too confusing plot but staying for the couples. Maybe.

Start-up - you also know. Opposite of Private Lives. Interesting plot but the love triangle is repelling me.

Takeuchi Ryoma no Satsukyu - Takuechi Ryoma in a mockumentary. If you've watched Kahogo no Kahoko (strongly recommended), then you know this guy is talented.

Talio Fukushu Daiko no Futari - I love Okada Masaki but I don't know if I should continue. Still trying to finish the pilot episode.

Satsui no Michinori - unique and weird lol. A revenge-plot made into dark comedy. First Plan: Name this project. Second Plan: Find a cool headquarters to brainstrom evil plans. Third Plan: Research top weapons for murder.

Shanai Marriage Honey: Japan is really pushing this marriage agenda to young people since they've been having all this flash marriage dramas lately lol.

Oh I suck at that. Out of all the 500+ dramas I watched, I only rewatched a handful. So I'm constantly looking for more. Right now, I probably have about 15 airing dramas that I'm watching (don't judge me, it's the pandemic haha).

Haha no worries. I started watching 13 years ago so I can relate. I've probably watch almost all good Asian dramas out there.

The drama ended yesterday. It was an open ending. Episode 14 never happened. They were just showing another drama full of tropes and cliches. I think it was grandpa's story.

Nope, nobody's going to fool and tell me otherwise. Ha. Ha. Haaaaaaa. (Sigh.)

Haha more than getting toothache, it made me feel uncomfortable since it's so cringy and embarrassing to the point I want to skip the whole episode.

Same. But I guess I expected more since they presented fresh ideas (for Cdrama). like a female CEO instead of a male one and the female lead using marriage just to have a baby. However, they used a lot of tropes or cliches after the first few episodes and threw this awkward romance lol. So it's not bad but not exactly good too. Just something to watch in the background while you are busy doing other things haha.
