Was that the direct Korean translation though? I know that unfortunately the subtitles aren't always 100% accurate

We don't actually know if he has sexual thoughts or dreams. In fact, based on his reaction to the webnovel I would wager he does. He's incredibly repressed

Lee Sang-yi is playing the boss, so I'm wondering if Gyu-hyun will also be transmigrated. Otherwise the romance will be between her and a fictional character which I don't think makes a TON of sense, if the entire drama is set in the novel world

The English title is Spice Up Our Love, although it was literally translated as The CEO's Menu. I assume Ha-jun will be in it. However, the majority of the drama will take place in the world of Ja-yeon's webnovel, as she'll be transported into it. Lee Sang-yi will be playing the male lead in the novel. Those are the only two characters we know for sure will be in it. Since it's taking place in the novel, we also don't know to what extent it will be the same characters vs. their actors. I did read that Shin Mi-na and Kim Young-dae will be in it... not sure if it's just an appearance for their characters or if they'll have a recurring role

Remember though, the steamy look was between the characters - I don't think Ha-jun has romantic feelings for her at all

Did he actually tell her to die, or did his comments just make her want to die? I mean, not that it's any better, but she didn't seem that bothered until the specific comment (presumably about her parents)

We're getting a spinoff drama afterwards though!

Yeah, I feel like the 2ML is getting all of the ML moments in this drama? It's super weird.

I don't have SLS in the sense that I like the 2ML better, as I actually like the ML better. But I think the drama is making a really strong case that the 2ML is a better partner for the FL. It sucks because, yes, he took forever to realize his feelings and So-jin deserves someone who knows sooner. But I just feel like the drama is not convincing me that Yeon-woo, as great as he is, would be the best long-term romantic fit for So-jin.

Right, normally that would be concerning but in this case we're getting a spinoff that will focus on their romance. This drama is just setting it up and then the actual romance will happen in Spice Up Our Love.

I don't think the third party actually has feelings for her, though. I think he's friendzoned her. It's also not guaranteed he'll stay Gyu-hyun's secretary, as he wants to switch depts and it would probably show Gyun-hun's character growth if he were allowed to do that. Guess we'll see

Are you kidding? That's actually a great setup for a romance: love triangle and enemies to lovers. She's not gonna stay in love with Ha-jun. Remember, we not only get this drama but a full spinoff, too. I think it's gonna be a slow burn for sure.

She was imagining the secretary as the male lead in her story (and it turns out that he did inspire the character), not the CEO

Honestly, I would have! The less likely a romantic pairing looks, the more likely it will happen

Yup, the writer and CEO (the second leads) are going to be in a romance. They also are going to be the main leads in a spinoff about their own romance

Smoking is the kiss of death for a singer. Even though there are people who smoke and are still able to sing, it's not true of everyone

Ji-eum doesn't forget her current life or her past lives, she will just be reborn her next life without those memories. The comic ends with Seo-ha proposing to her. Her first life and how it resolves is different, too.

No, it does not

Right, but we don't know how much actual input they get or if they're actually happy with the changes. I can't imagine being Lee Hye and being okay with what they did to my story.

A fish kiss and setting that scene next to a freaking pool instead of outside in the rain. I'm so mad about that.
