is it just me or did JA's hair colour changed over night?

i guess private channels are increasing the family time to cater to all age audience and increase the trp.. if the story is only about 3 people in their 20s and their career struggles then it wont interest the family audience and will only get young audience who mostly prefer to watch things online rather than on tv..

he was kind of excited to go to the salon and get his make up done by HJ when he was at the gym with his mother.. his mother kind of became a bit suspicious but then brushed it off.. he clearly started to get attracted towards her in a very subtle way..
its a typical thing in kdramas where the second lead becomes a spectator to the mess b/w the leads and still harbor feelings for the female lead.. its one way to gain sympathy from the audience.. poor little thing loves the girl but still helps her with her love life..
anyways lets wait and watch if he will be just a spectator or a catalyst in creating a mess b/w the leads.. :)

i love this drama and this drama is the main reason why i decided to watch backstreet rookie.. the director has a quirky sense of film making..
kim namgil is the coolest priest ever.. even the bad guys like the bob hair guy and his boss were super likeable and by the end i was rooting for them..

i like the way HJ and JA's relationship is progressing but i dont get the sudden feelings of HH towards JA.. they hardly met 2 times and the 3rd time he is giving her the looks.. even his mother is sensing something and its way too soon.. JA kind of made it obvious that she and HJ are getting closer so HH will be a total a**hole if he still develops feelings for her out of nowhere..

i like that they didnt stretched the fan misunderstanding for too long.. the girl made it way too obvious and HJ is smart enough to catch on..

hae hyo's mother dont come off as evil.. she comes off as obsessed and immature person.. she seems to been attached to HJ's mother but is too class conscious to try to be friends with her..
she reminds me of the mothers from high society( hyungsik's mother) and heirs.. too much class conscious but cannot stand against their sons if they get too stubborn..

its a standard 20 episode kdrama.. most kdramas are either 16 or 20 episodes.. this one aired on SBS and national channel kdramas tends to be 20 episodes most of the times..

this drama could have been a perfect rom-com if it was only 12 episodes.. the first half was hilarious and park seojoon did an amazing job.. after ep 11-12 the drama was running without any purpose and only had some comedy scenes.. it could hold the excitement i had in the first half..
the first half of the drama has 10/10 rewatch value and i still at times watch some of the comedy scenes..

you cannot expect a 50+ woman in a conservative society like korea to be excited thinking her son could be gay..

i watched the first 7 episodes 3 years ago right after it finished airing and dropped it coz i was bored.. i watched the rest of the episodes in the last 2 days and surprisingly liked it..
when i started watching ep 8 two days ago i thought i wont remember anything but i kind of had an idea about whatever was going on so i didnt had to rewatch the first half..
i guess this drama picks up only in the second half as i remember the first half was way too depressing as nothing worked for any of the leads.. everything started working for them and the story started picking up in the second half only..

she is the female lead so obviously she will be in more than half of each episodes and she was good in it as well..
its about 4 friends and their romance,..

not that big controversy as such but censorboard kind of send some warning or something based on just 50 complaints.. the details are somewhere in the comment session of iotnbo.. in short some random mess out of nothing.. it might affect its retelecast in korea and thats all..

she is not a stalker.. she knows everything because any fan will know everything about their favorite thats available on the net.. she dont know things about him that he didnt disclose in the public..
she clearly never went to his work place or tried to meet him until she herself has to be in the same place as him due to her work.. she also didnt cross her line and went crazy when he asked her to join him with his friends to hang out..
her behavior is a of a sane level headed fan than an obsessed stalker fan.. the girls that go to his part time work places are the obsessed stalker fans..

its pre-produced and covid wasnt that much big in s.k untill 2 3 weeks ago..

i think before going to the military, there will be crack in HH and HY's friendship and when HY comes back HH will already be a big star..

he is a friendly guy and said he makes people comfortable instantly. they all are of same age and he isnt that big of a celebrity to be conscious about who he associates with.. she is not the crazy and obsessed kind of fan who dont know how to behave in front of her idol and is also very matured..
so their conversations and friendship looked very organic

there are strong rumors of some celebrities having sponsors to support them in return of favors and the makers only showed reality.. its disturbing but its true. people in power(regardless of gender) try to take advantage of younger ones and it happens in all industries esp entertainment industry were people are more vulnerable..

this is preproduced so we can the writer wont change the story according to rating.. thats a relief..
we can only hope the entire story is good..

this is a melodrama so we cannot be too optimistic..

i just hope they dont turn the 2nd lead into a jealous asshole..
