Sweet friendship

That V is so cute. He will have you smiling the Whole Time. He’s very entertaining. I even found myself cheering when he jumped to grab hold of that foam or whatever it was. Looking forward to seeing more of him. The Three boys Friendship is really Sweet. I enjoyed watching them interact with each other. It was cute. You can see they enjoy being around each other. The music was really nice also.

Four Stars

With only one episode left in this show, I am surely going to miss Serendipity’s Embrace every Monday and Tuesday. While this is a rather short drama, it is upsetting that the makers are rushing to conclude it when the characters have just started to open up.From what we can see in this episode, Mr Sohn and Hye-ji are now dating which means there is going to be trouble at home with Mr Kim trying to set her older daughter up with Mr Sohn.I wonder if we will see a shocking cameo as Hye-ji’s older sister. The flashbacks really make the drama interesting but we can see that Hong-ju too had feelings for Hu-yeong when they were younger.Do-seon could possibly come to see just how much Hu-yeong loves Hong-ju and I hope the couple has a happy ending!

As cute as this episode of Serendipity’s…

As cute as this episode of Serendipity’s Embrace was, it is a bummer that the show only has 2 episodes left. From what we can see in this episode, I find Do-seon’s connection with Hong-ju confusing. It is not clear what she was doing in her car that night if she informed Hu-yeong about their move to the USA via a phone call. Also, why would a parent discuss such an important detail via call? Sus.Meanwhile, the romance between Hye-ji and Mr Sohn has me so upset that we have to wait until next week for the next episode. The two are so cute and clearly in love. I am certain the two will end up together but that makes me very sad for Sang-pil.Given CEO Baek’s fling with CEO Bae, Sang-pil is the only cast member left alone. Maybe he can hook up with Jun-ho, which will surely make this a perfectly balanced romance K-drama

Serendipity’s Embrace is turning into a…

Serendipity’s Embrace is turning into a guilty pleasure every Monday and Tuesday and it is a shame that we only have 3 episodes left with this cute and fluffy rom-com. With the main couple now together, I wonder what will happen once Hong-ju is forced to work with her ex at his house. It is very natural for Hu-yeong to get jealous, considering how Hong-ju is still affected by Jun-ho. Meanwhile, the makers are trying their best to redeem Jun-ho’s character by giving us titbits of information about his emotions when he was walking away from Hong-ju. However, what he did was very insensitive and I don’t think any viewer will empathise with him given the childhood that Hong-ju has had.I wonder what will happen to Mr Sohn and Hye-ji now that he has rejected her? It seems that Mr Sohn does have feelings for Hye-ji but the reason for his refusal could be because he is Hye-ji’s colleague as well as her father’s employee. With 3 episodes remaining in this one, I am so keen on seeing where this romcom goes as Hu-yeong’s mother has returned to South Korea.

While the flashbacks try to give us an insight into Hong-ju and Hu-yeong’s relationship from when they were younger, it gives us all the more reason to get mad at Hong-ju for not seeing all the signs that Hu-yeong had been in love with her. Considering the things that he did for her like following her to a different town where she can give her love letter to her crush, Hu-yeong is in his loser boyfriend era and we are seated for it.I am sure the end of this episode will set their romance into motion. Considering how Mr Sohn is a PE Teacher and Hye-ji is an English Teacher, this makes them a part of the classic rumour that every high schooler believed to be true. It would be so fun to see them together.From the look of it, CEO Baek and CEO Bae seem to be having their own enemies-to-lovers romance considering their shared parking spot was causing them to have arguments. It makes me sad that the only person left behind in all this is Sang-pil who only makes delicious meals for his friends. Our boy, Lee Won-jung came all this way after Hierarchy only to be the mom of the group!

The way my jaw dropped as Hu-yeong kissed…

The way my jaw dropped as Hu-yeong kissed Hong-ju without a warning! I hope we see a full version of this kiss in the upcoming episode but to think that we have to wait for 6 whole days before that is so unfair. On the other hand, using the story about Jun-ho’s panic attacks and financial struggle is the makers’ copout to get viewers to empathise with him.It would have been much easier for Jun-ho to communicate with Hong-ju instead of the whole facade of abandoning her at the airport without her knowing what she had done to hurt Jun-ho. I understand Hong-ju’s way of pushing people away before they can hurt. She is suffering from severe abandonment issues and it makes her so much more relatable.I wish this show was longer so the makers could delve deeper into these issues that Hong-ju suffers from. Addressing all her issues well will not be possible in an 8-episode drama. Since we only have 4 more episodes left in this one, I wonder what happens next now that Hu-yeong’s mother has returned to South Korea to take him back home.

Phew! This episode was long but it was full…

Phew! This episode was long but it was full of so many cute moments. Well, we know why this show is called “Serendipity’s Embrace” because there are so many coincidences that bring Hu-yeong and Hong-ju together. Moments where Hu-yeong is acting all cool around Hong-ju only for him to smile when she is not looking are the most heart-fluttering ones in this show so far.I love the chemistry these two have together and I pray that Hong-ju’s romance with Hu-yeong won’t hamper her friendship with Hye-ji. The way Hye-ji stood up for Hong-ju in front of her cousin – Joon-ho is heartwarming. Meanwhile, there is nothing Joon-ho can do to redeem himself after how he left Hong-ju at the airport. The man has some guts to leave the country without telling his girlfriend that he is moving abroad to work on his new novel.I find the flashback moments between Hu-yeong and Hong-ju very endearing. I am hoping for this show to give us a happy ending because it will be terrible to see Hu-yeong leave to go back to the USA with his heart broken

Oh wow! This episode was so romantic it made…

Oh wow! This episode was so romantic it made me squeal with joy. Serendipity’s Embrace feels like a perfect rom-com drama at a time when there is a dearth in the genre. It is a shame that the show only has 8 episodes in total and I wish the makers stuck to the 16-episode format because the chemistry between the main leads is extremely palpable.The episode ended with Hu-yeong telling Hong-ju that the frozen food was thawing but everyone watching the show understood what he meant. Hu-yeong is telling Hong-ju that his feelings of love for her have started thawing already and he is falling for her all over again. Chae Jeong-yeop is a treat to the eye and his smile is making my heart flutter. Our ‘Potato Boy’ from Nevertheless has come a long way! Kim So-hyun is perfect as Hong-ju and I am looking forward to the romance between her and Jeong-yeop’s character – Hu-yeong in the episodes to come. Hye-ji does have feelings for Hu-yeong but the bond she shares with Sang-pil is giving enemies to lovers energy and I am seated for them to turn into a side couple as the show progresses. From the first episode itself, this show has me hooked and I cannot wait for the next episode!

Mr Gu's pressure on Soo Ryun is driving this episode

Logan helps Yoon Hee to get back into the game. It's nice that Logan doesn't know the truth as he can bring a bit of chaos into this whole situation and complicate Soo Ryun's revenge plan. I'm disappointed with the way things are going with the bad teenagers but let's see how it develops. Mr Gu has pressured Soo Ryun to reveal the truth about her daughter for the whole episode. I wonder if he's gonna change his mind after what he saw and heard at the party. Anyway it was a pretty good episode.

A little bit more action

Mr Gu is acting like an angry teenager. Our bad teenagers have something to think about. Yoon Hee falls into Dan Tae's trap and we're about to see if and how she recovers from that.

Nothing really surprising

The only thing that could've been a gamechanger was being imagined at the beginning of the episode. Other than that nothing unexpected. I think that the writer frequently makes mistake by explaining things right away. Sometimes a bit of uncertainty is good. Anyway in this episode we see one side of Mr. Gu being revealed. I'm sure there's more about him that we will see soon.

Good for you Qingkui! I really can't imagine how yetan wld fare in the Void.... I think her rashness n her mouth wld be her downfall. Tbh that Ms. Coriander, Husui, she's kind of suspicious to me. Myb it'll be nothing but let's see. This bickering btwn Chaofeng and Wudai was so entertaining. Really love when Qingkui sick of them and threw them out of her place GO QINGKUI!
