LR is probably one of the few dramas you can truly love the SML without having second lead syndrome. He's cocky but has a good heart.

There is no SFL in the story.

Yes to HE- really satisfying ending IMO :)

It might feel a little heavy at times given the purpose behind the time travel arc but it's totally worth it if you are into romance genre.

Give the first 4 episodes a try may be and see if it's your type? 😊

I don't think it's the body that causes her feelings but the exposure to "humanity" itself may be? It's like when you live in another country for a long time, you pickup their habits unintentionally/ your interests change?

The body is just a "meat suit" (quoting from Supernatural - another tv series with demonic possesions).

Ikr?! NGNL was quire refreshingly entertaining. Loved how unserious they were without going overboard with the jokes at the same time❤️

Point 2- his wife wasn't conniving- just ambitious (in a relatively healthier manner than most characters in her situation) because she wanted her family to accept him.

She gave him an ultimatum if i'm not mistaken once she figured out that he dated HS in the past (not sure if she figured out about the cheating part). Guess power and influence trumped his weak "love" for HS😅

Point 3- chief mourner is probably officially only for family members which is probably why she made a point to say that she didn't want to register JU as a son in law when he was like a son (i might be wrong though)🙊

He knows she is sensitive about the foster kids chapter of her life but he kept lying to her even when she gave him so many chances🤷‍♀️

May be Son's mum got sick around the time he was staying with her? Son regrets not being with her mum while she was well so may be this too could be a factor?

Think CSH's confirmation that he wouldn't let anything get in the way of his relationship with BSR should be helpful?🙈

The guy went through hell to be with her so nothing short of death could break them up right? May be long distance but not an actual breakup
(Don't think the writer is sadistic enough to dare to kill anyone after giving us two health scares😅)

💯
That might actually be one of the objectives of the drama. He's already defying her by persuiting the writer (the mum's a fan but she probably wouldn't accept her as a daughter in law easily specially after Ji Uk's appearance with "top talent" Son as his wife)

We'll probably get to see the real him tomorrow or next week. His mum keeps gaslighting and guilt tripping him (probably all his life) so it's not a surprise how he reacted. But like with the Hater-fan arc, he'll probably team up with Ji Uk and come up with a proper resolution🙈🤞

Hope they won't drag it for too long 🙏🙏

I can see BSR's parents finding it difficult since they are the most impacted but hopefully the rest of the family and the Lavendar squad will clear things up.

CSH's mum just wants to make him happy so hopefully she'll be cool with it🙏🙏🙏

Sibling mentality - they aren't related in any way but BSR's mum did raise CSH like her own son (hell even BSR herself raised him like her own kid at times) 😅😅😅

So true! Also Dan ho is a very emphatic person. Knowing Moeum and the sacrifice she already has to make to do her job, may be he wants to protect her from the society's harsh impression on having a relationship with a single father/ adopting his daughter?

Even her mum and the Lavendar gang do not see Dan ho as marriage material (i can't recall if CSH's mum agreed to this as well though since she's supposed to be more "modern")🤷‍♀️

Unlike CSH, may be for BSR seeing themselves as an actual couple might still be a little awkward? CSH spent 10+ years pining over her whereas BSR didn't dare to acknowledge her feelings until a few weeks ago?

🙈🙈🙈

She seems to treat SH like an idol i guess? The way she talks about him/ reads his reactions don't really look like a simple crush 😅😅😅

Probably not a sponser considering all the anti smoking jokes😅😅😅

The only drama i'v personally noticed that may have gotten sponsorship is "First Love : Hatsukoi "(J-drama) since they pretty much made the ML smoke Marlboro cig.s throughout his youth scenes and present day scenes + it was part of their time capsule. The couple's kiss catch phrase is basically "smoke flavour"🤣 🙊

Her parents concern has to be minimised so she has to🙊.

It is a difficult industry so she needs to stand out. One thing i've noticed is how the drama keeps highlighting her keenness in flavour profiles.
May be to help her stand out, she might do some kind of fusion? Add her own twist to traditional Korean dishes like they did in "Business Proposal"?

The Korean basics class is to help her get certified but like her ex said, if she's really keen, she can explore more options. Knowing kdramas and how LND seems to have a tendancy to repeat plot points for multiple characters, the final battle might be for SR to choose her life with SH now or to go ✈️ to culinery school and come back as a well trained chef?😅

Based on this week's episodes, it kind of seemed like she still wasn't comfortable enough to cook for her family (she pretty much jumped like a skittish cat when her parents walked on her cooking). May be she's trying to make sure her cooking is at a level even her parents can't argue? (Since at the moment their approval doesn't sound 100% solid).

Personally, I kind of liked how she basically spent the entirety of episode 11 testing out french cuisine from a book she couldn't even read while still going for her usual Korean class - it subtly shows how passionate she is to expand her dream (even if the book was just a plot device)🙈

Exactly!!! It really is a good message!

My take on the second couple is that the CEO had a sheltered and controlled life thanks to his overbaring parents. Ever since he tangled with NJY, he's been getting more exposure to the world. NJ's wild yet sweet demeanour is a good fit for his kind but sheltered personality? Since he really needs to break free from his parents' shackles🙊

In NJY's case, despite her sunny approach to life, she is still haunted by her past. Perhaps with the CEO's support, she'll be able to have more control with her life? And give people a chance may be (Mr Hater wasn't really as bad as she thought after all- specially after ep 8's revelation).

I could be overanalysing though - a bit bias with the second couple as they are my favourite coupling 🙈

Ah...since this is a Kdrama, can't rule out the possibility 🙈

I assumed that he was so serious since the FL didn't forgive him over the kiss so he's expecting an even worse reaction from her for betraying her trust?

Yes, the writer sis doesn't know that Ji Uk is connected to the orphanage/ mum used to volunteer with him there, so he could have been her last foster child?

Did they mention that the mum stopped fostering after the dad passed away?

I can't wait till she finds out who her future daughter in law will be after working so hard to leashe her son. Mum was her own worst enemy in the end 🤭

You know that she's going to cause a hissy fit. Specially now that she knows about Hae Yeong🤦‍♀️

Hope they won't drag ithe inebitable drama for too long though🤞

Isn't it because he hid his identity? The FL has a complex relationship with her mum's foster families. It's going to hurt her when she finds out that the ML knew her all along but didn't mention anything.

Think she actually once asked him if he was stalking her (jokingly) long before the contract marriage came up just because he knew too many things about her.
