  1. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Ooh nice gifs! Thanks @pkml3! The ubiquitous yellow umbrella made it’s appearance and I’m pleased it was the lady who wielded it to protect the man for a change. Show still manages to make use of the good, ol’ tropes in a refreshing way. πŸ™‚

    I’ll come if I can. It’s an easy show to rewatch. πŸ˜†

    See you in a couple of days @agdr03!! 😁

  2. Thank you for the post and the gifs, @packmule3. The yellow umbrella is like the one back in Ha-ri’s imaginary ‘how I met you’ scenario.

    What every will we be watching on the weekends and early week after this drama and 21/25? I will miss them both.

    This is very retro, but somehow NJH reminds me of young Jimmy Stewart in the sense that he is good looking, but can also look pathetic and slow on the uptake; in some photos debonair, in others goofy.

  3. I’ve a recommendation. Let me write up something before I leave for the office.

    I’m brain dead πŸ’€when I get off work so the last thing I want to do is write.

  4. Good morning! ☺️

    Wow! 7 years already? Our first rewatch on the blog was Love Alert/ Fluttering Warning right? At Soompi it was Warm and Cozy. πŸ₯°

    So 7 years of being pulled and fooled. πŸ˜‚

    We’re crazy bitches alright. 😜

    I’m about to watch episode 10. I’ll let you know which episode it is for the rewatch.

    Thank you! 😘

  5. Warm and Cozy was in 2015, @agdr03. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    I was reminded about it because I went on Twitter yesterday. Someone posted the links of my old soompi posts on β€œThe King Loves” starring Siwan. Apparently I wrote LOOOOOONG commentaries so this person recommended a text-to-speech app so people don’t have to read what I wrote, but they can listen to it instead. πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I hope there’s a speech pattern for a haughty snooty bitch.

    Lol. I had a hard time logging onto my Twitter account bec I couldn’t remember my Twitter username. I won’t be able to remember it again next week. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

  6. I had to look it up too, what year was Warm and Cozy. πŸ˜‚ Does that mean we’re getting old too? 😱🀫

    Oooh text to speech app. Can you do that please so I can try it? 🀣 It sounds cool. 😎

    I looked up your Twitter username. If you forget, ask me. 😜 Your last post was for My Roommate Is A Gumiho. ☺️

    I’ll do my comments on the ABP thread tomorrow. This show has been so addictive that I wake up to watch it. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I did that for a kdrama. I’m so bugged now. 😴

    Oh we will rewatch episode 9. πŸ₯°

    Ciao! πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

  7. Ok. Ep 9

  8. Hi! πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

    Is it ok for a change of mind? 😬

    Let’s rewatch episode 10 instead of 9? ☺️

    As much as I love the morning date, the rainy date was heart fluttering and sweet too.

    Let me know ok.

    Thanks ☺️

  9. Ok. Ep 10 then

  10. Thank you. πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈ It’s not as funny of an episode but the feels is just right. πŸ˜¬πŸ™Š

  11. πŸ™‚ Will fix the thread title when I get to the hotel.

  12. Thanks ☺️

  13. Stop in the name of HaTae! πŸ›‘

    Im so so sorry but let’s stick with episode 9 rewatch. Pretty please?. πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

    Let’s stick to the hiding of HaTae’s romance in the company. 😬 We need to give the morning date a special tribute.

    Jeosonghabnida. πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

  14. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    LOL no need to jeoseong hamnida @agdr03. We can watch any episode at all. It’s just fun to chat while squeeing or squealing.

    I’ll go have something to eat now so that I’ll be free in an hour’s time! πŸ™‚

  15. @GB, I need to do it formally because I’m saying sorry to wuri Queen. 😁

    I changed my mind twice today so I don’t want to get in trouble and be put in a corner. πŸ˜‚

    Oh our rewatch is tomorrow ok, April 1. πŸ˜‰ Take your time in eating. πŸ˜ƒ

  16. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    My mind flip flops from Thursday to Friday. So 24 hours more LOL!! Great April Fool’s joke.

  17. Right? πŸ˜‚

  18. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    πŸ˜… 😲 πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« 😬 πŸ™„ πŸ˜† πŸ˜‚

  19. We just started a day early πŸ˜‚

  20. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @agdr03 We’re the real April Fools … you hover between Ep 9 and 10 and I’ll mistakenly start you off a day earlier in our own private party LOLOL.

  21. Ok. No problem. πŸ‘

  22. Kamsahamnida πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

  23. Wow 7 years of rewatching?!!! What a tradition you two have started @PM3 and @agdr03!

    Too bad I can’t join you. Will read you up as always. Happy April Fool’s day. Episode 9 kinda suit that for laughs.

  24. I’m here with my green tea. ☺️

  25. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    I’m here after dinner with loads of water LOL. It’s a hot day and I’m thirsty all the time!

  26. Let’s start!!

  27. Good evening, @GB and @agdr03.

    This is my second watch of this episode. lol.

  28. Let’s go!

    I’m right at the start. At the bridge. ☺️

  29. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    It just started to rain… had to run and close windows but I’ve started now.

    I like that she smiles as she kisses him. She smiles in between too!!! Sweet.

  30. I like how the Korean word for mistake sounds like the English word, Kiss.

    “Chis-eu” sounds like “kiss-eu”

  31. I love how she kissed him. She’s the “dominant” one.

    But the way the cousin’s face suddenly interrupted the kissing scene scared me.

    She looked a witch, a shaman. hahaha.

  32. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    FL sure has nice skin, even without makeup she looks good. What great PPL for skin care.

  33. I like that Taemu made sure to ask that their meeting/kiss won’t be a mistake as well. And he warned her that if she continues to come to him, he’ll never let her go. πŸ₯° I liked that dialogue. It’s to make her know that he’s in it for real and he’s serious.

  34. Hi. I’m here for a little while.

  35. I agree. I thought the kiss was just right. πŸ₯°

  36. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    LOL @pkml3, Show deliberately stopped kiss to cut into cousin’s face. So jarring!

    OK the happy breakfast date – ‘date of dreams’. Not going to happen in my life LOL.

  37. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @agdr yes I love their dialogue too.

    I love all the piano pieces as they meet, prepare to meet, date etc. Such happy, light-hearted pieces.

  38. Yes! I like that he asks her every time if he understands what she means by her kiss, or her step forward.

    He wants to know if they’re on the same wavelength, and not taking advantage of the situation.

  39. Oh, he looks very attractive cooking. I’m surprised that HR didn’t photograph him as well.

  40. @Fern πŸ‘‹πŸ» Nice your here even for a little while. ☺️

    I want that skin care product too. 😁

  41. Great, Fern! Feeling better?

  42. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Ah the sweet after breakfast date peck on the cheek, and the attendant embarrassment.

    We had suspicions all along that the Teamleader couple were a couple.

  43. Me too @GB. The background music gives it the extra nice touch. ☺️

  44. @packmule3, they are so different from 2nd couple. TM is much more gentlemanly and clear with his intentions.

  45. Yes, @agdr03. The under-eye mask especially. I want that! I get puffy eyes during spring time.

  46. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hope you’re still feeling fine @Fern.

    Hah! TM deliberately called himself boyfriend and now the whole team just have to get into Ha Ri’s personal space and dating life.

  47. @packmule3, I only have a runny nose. But have to get PCR and bloods as I’m in a Covid vaccine study, too. They want to get all of the information today.

  48. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @Fern, dear me… does not sound like much fun… taking blood as well?

    TM can’t even stay away from HR for the rest of the day, since seeing her in the morning.

    I love the invisible fly that only SH and HR can see.

  49. This show must be the cheesiest ever but I LOVE it. πŸ˜‚

    100+ points for a guy who can cook. That breakfast did look yummy.

  50. High five! I wish I only have bags instead of luggages under my eyes. πŸ˜‚ I should really address it.

  51. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @agdr03, not only did he already see her at breakfast and then in her office, but he has to call her that night as well.

    LOL how she screamed to see her colleague where she wanted to take TM’s call. One would have thought she’d witnessed a murder.

  52. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Funny parallel…. HR cannot pick up TM’s calls and SH will not take Cousin’s calls.

  53. Right, Fern? I like how they’re different from the 2nd couple.

    Perhaps the point here was to show the degree of maturity of couples in a relationship.

    At the outer circle: we have Minwoo and GF. They’re both cheaters. GF cheated him for real. Minwoo is an EMOTIONAL cheater. He strays mentally.

    Then there’s the lust-y couple They’re always getting into arguments because they fell for the physical aspect (note how she always says he’s cute). They don’t really connect with each other.

    Then there’s the “pure” couple who fell for each other’s good character. From the start, Taemoo admired, not her physical beauty (e.g., Samantha and Rachel) but her qualities as Hari and Geumhui. And I talked about this. I said the reason he couldn’t see that they were the same person was because he had identified the ladies by a certain trait/quality/characteristic that he liked. And he simply couldn’t connect the two ladies because they were different traits.

    πŸ™‚

  54. I’m only at breakfast @GB but yeah Hari’s scream there was tops! On top of her lungs. πŸ˜‚

  55. Hahahaha.

    @agdr03. Yes, I shouldn’t have said “bags.” I’ve refrigerators under my eyes.

    And the problem for people with double eyelids (not the monolids like the Koreans) is when they get older, those double lids SAG, too. For me, my double eyelids look droopy. hahaha.

    Oh well, I can’t tape them up. I’ve to go to South Korea if I want to tighten them (NOOOO!)

  56. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    There seems to be a repeating of the phrase that rich people are people too. HR says it and Grandfather did too. So this give hope that chaebols will accept a common person like HR.

  57. And there’s the mature couple as well – the office co-workers. I think they are very amusing.

  58. Thank you, @Fern, for being part of COVID research! πŸ™‚

  59. Look at Taemoo’s face when he saw her different pair of shoes. He felt happy and I thought him teasing Hari about it was cute. 😁

    I saw the bts for this scene with the dialogue of β€˜your cheating because you made my heart skipped a beat because your so cute’. AHS couldn’t handle the dialogue he went up and was laughing πŸ˜‚.

    They both did really well. πŸ‘πŸ»

  60. As regards acceptance, perhaps HR’s family will be harder to convince than Grandfather.

    Yu-Jeong’s mother needs to check her facts.

  61. @agdr03, in some variety shows, that sort of dialog is called ‘Greasy’. Too cute, too smarmy, too flirty for words!

  62. Andwae! πŸ˜‚

    We can just keep putting those eye creams, cucumbers, face masks and what not. 😁

    Seriously, going under the knife for facial changes scares the hell out of me. 😬

  63. Did you notice that when Taemoo called up Hari in the morning for the breakfast date, the Archaeopteryx was being very gentlemanly, too?

    Previously, it would appear as soon as the phone buzzes. But this time, it politely waited until Hari answered and opened the phone. It only popped up then.

    And it showed up with a heart. hahaha.

    And I like how candid he was.

    Hari: Hello?
    TM: Hey, you’re up. Did you sleep well?

    I like his manners. He likes to do the niceties first on the phone, e.g., greet each other, ask about each other.

    Hari: Yes. How about you?
    TM: No.
    Hari: Why not?
    TM: Because I missed you.

    This sounds cheesy, but he’s actually being honest. He’s speaking his mind, without filters.

    I think that’s how the actor AHS described his character in the drama. That he’s a pure soul.

  64. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Snack shop work-date – I like how TM perked up when she said he was her boyfriend at last. The first time she did not conceal/hide him.

    The previous and this episode and the next she hid him over and over again. Poor TM.

  65. Greasy? Oh I like it. πŸ˜‚

  66. Yes, it’s sincere missing her. Not cheesy/greasy. I wonder how much AHS is like his character.

    Did you love the way his face lit up when Ha-ri said ‘He is my boyfriend.’

  67. I really like that his very honest when he talks to Hari.

    I thought it was cute how archaeopteryx has a heart ❀️ emoji too. Taemu was calling straight from his heart. πŸ₯°

  68. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    I’ve been finding that the make up for cheeks has changed and it’s obvious in this show. HR’s cheeks are redder than what I’d expect and in the front rather than on the sides.

  69. Dear Ladies, I must leave you to get ready to drive up to the hospital research appointment.

    Ah, such a lovely moment on the swings at the park. Seen from all angles.

  70. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    About the honest conversations: I’ve liked how when she no longer needs to lie, HR has been honest and very natural with TM too. I also like the way TM does not mince his words. He states his intentions clearly from the beginning.

  71. That kiss in the cheek made Taemu happy. I liked how it was shot. He was worried about her but she said she had the best morning of her life. That’s heart fluttering there for Taemu. πŸ₯°

  72. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Take care @Fern! See you again.

  73. True @GB. Hari is very honest too. Like how she said she wanted to confidently say that President Kang is her boyfriend. ☺️

  74. Safe drive @Fern.

    See you later. 😘

  75. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Now we see the dynamics of the senior couple, and the run to the male washroom to hide LOL.

  76. Yes, @agdr03. It’s kinda oily, slick, if he meant it insincerely.

    But Taemoo’s character is meant to be “pure of heart” when it comes to love. So he says what’s in his mind without intending to flatter her.

    It’s like that scene in Episode 1. When he whispered to her ear that he was person who’s good at everything.

    Hari got spooked, and thought he was seducing her and being lascivious. She pushed him away and almost fell down the stairs. He grabbed her to save her, then asked what she was thinking. She was the one with the lewd thoughts, not him. He was NOT talking about his super abilities in bed.

    All he meant was that he treated women well.

    So same here, I think Taemoo is just telling her straight that he misses her, he cooks well. He only looks/sounds like he’s seductive because of the way he says it.

    His voice is low and serious = sounds seductive.
    His face is focused on her and serious = looks seductive.

    hahaha. But if he spoke in a high voice and he looked like a clown, he wouldn’t be attractive at all.

  77. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    This Show is filled with women who are more assertive than their men, overall.

    Teamleader Yeo plays the man’s role in pursuing Gye Bin/Kevin
    HR played the role of crazy woman in their first date and kissed TM first.
    YS also kissed SH first.
    HR’s mother is obviously the head of the household

  78. Yes! Hari was thinking of something else there because of the whispering.

    Now that you mentioned it, I can’t imagine AHS speaking really loud. πŸ˜‚ I should search.

  79. I like how Taemoo noticed her unmatched pair of shoes and took it as a sign of her eagerness to meet him. I get that he’s still looking for confirmation of her feelings for him.

    I also like the way he teased her about her earrings. That’s a nice way to insert a product placement without being obvious. I bet the earrings are from Swarovski. Hahaha. The writer was very very subtle.

  80. I know!

    Teamleader Yeo “wears the pants” in that relationship.

    I suspected that they were in a secret relationship ever since their date in the movie theater. lol. They looked as guilty as Hari when they bumped into each other in the lobby.

  81. I don’t know if Hari’s cheeks are redder because she’s always blushing around him. But yes, I noticed that her cheeks are red.

    Thank goodness Taemoo’s make-up during their breakfast “looked” natural. He wasn’t wearing strawberry pink lipstick.

  82. Wait, Taemu said he’s made adjustments to Hari’s work schedule? πŸ€” So she’s got more time to see him? 😁 Oh wait maybe their going to work together for the Bucket List Fish?

    I shouted out loud too when the iPad/notebook dropped. πŸ˜‚

  83. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Me too @pkml3. I was just waiting for the senior couple reveal and to see the parallel with HR and TM. Of course the senior couple would highlight all the pitfalls of colleagues being in a couple relationship, plus when 1 is in a position of authority over the other.

    It’s great that Show keeps exchanging the positions by the gender. Since it is TM, the guy, who’s the boss in 1 relationship, then it’s Yeo, the lady, who’s the boss in the other relationship.

    Same thing too with SH and YS, the reverse gender and trope thingy.

  84. We love our Swarovski. πŸ€ͺ

  85. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    I disliked the guys’ lip colour too. Not only TM, but more than once the bright pinky-red on Sung Hoon and even HR’s brother. So weird.

  86. Me too! Why can’t they have just a light colour lipstick to just add a tiny colour? It’s really grabbing attention.

  87. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    At the team dinner, we get full blown show off drinking culture on display. I don’t even know what the objective of all that showmanship is. More to entertain and drinking is just the cherry on top?

  88. The kiss was sweet, @agdr03. (The sound effects? It was a “chup” sound of a kiss. Hahaha.)

    It wasn’t only a goodbye kiss.

    It was a kiss to compensate for his disappointment. She knew she was letting him down by not spending more time with him.

    And it was a kiss to thank him.

    Hari: You know, this was the most wonderful morning of my life.

    And she ran away because she couldn’t stand that she was being cheesy just like him. She’s adorable then.

    Isn’t that great? Words that they previously couldn’t imagine saying to anybody because they might be thought of as cheesy and weird, they’re now free to say to each other.

  89. I know it’s been said already that KSJ looks like a few Hollywood actresses but for me, she looks like Keira Knightley especially with her tooth slightly overlapping at the front. ☺️

  90. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    It’s cute-funny that Cousin Jo is often made to be part of the animated Korean characters or English acronyms. She’s embedded in the swear words and exclamations LOL. Her whole entitled life is just that. πŸ˜‚

  91. I also like that Taemoo guessed her shoe size right. Size 230?

    I googled it and it says about size 6 in the US, and size 36 in Europe. lol. Goodness! She has tiny feet (or maybe I just have Godzilla’s feet.)

    Yeah. But saying that the shoes came from her boyfriend wasn’t a good idea.

    I don’t know if Taemoo actually told his Secretary to say that it came from him, i.e., THE boyfriend. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the Secretary assumed that Taemoo wanted it signed as coming from “the boyfriend.”

  92. Awww, that is true. πŸ₯° I’m getting more and more convinced that this couple might be my couple of the year.

    Oh wait, there’s Rosie and Yang Yang’s cdrama but theirs is a period drama so it’ll be a different one. ☺️

  93. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    There are so many traits/attitudes of YS that I don’t like. She leaps to the worst of conclusions without listening first or finding out, and continually assumes herself in the right while blaming others.

    I can’t stand that SH is being a doormat again.

    She does not care to find out the special relationship that SH has with TM or appreciate his position as secretary. As it is he is treated relatively well and is less a servant than many other (often female) secretaries who are treated like minions.

  94. We should make a list of Kim SeJeong’s lookalike.

    For you, it’s Keira Knightley.

    Mine would be Kate Hudson (“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”) and Valerie Bertinelli. Hahaha.

  95. Ya! My size is that. It just grew from 5.5 to a 6 because my feet has gotten fat. πŸ˜‚

    Yes, I did wonder whether that sign off was from Taemu because he knows that their relationship is a secret at work.

  96. I like that movie too. ☺️

  97. @GB,

    I don’t know what’s the mood in Korean entertainment nowadays, but I’m sensing that the overuse of Konglish in everyday conversation has come under close scrutiny, and is being made fun off. This drama is parodying the upper class’ habit of dropping English words to show off their wealth and and education status. The variety show I’m watching 2D1N had a segment about English words, too.

  98. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    TM is so pleased that HR says she wants to be loved by the person whom TM loves the most. His heart flutters and he has to pause before he joins the gang. He also can’t resist holding her hand under the table now.

    Then we find that there are 2 couples at the same table who are hiding their relationships with the very drunk Hye Ji revealing their secret liaisons over and over LOL.

  99. There should have been an archaeopteryx sound when Taemu came at the interview with the way he looked at Minwoo. 😁

    Anyone want fruit salad? Hubby gave me some. πŸ˜‚

  100. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @agdr, that reminds me that I should go and get some fruits to eat!

    I’m kinda sleepy at the moment and my episode has ended, although I paused in between. Where are you at?

  101. Have some @GB.

    I’m almost at the snack bar date with the pres…. boyfriend. πŸ₯°

  102. I like that Hari brought Taemu at the snack bar and he followed where she wanted to eat. Even though he was the one that asked for dinner.

    So she brought him to where Yongseong and her usually eat, hence the owner recognising her. I noticed because of the graffiti design and the students. πŸ˜‚

  103. Same here, @GB.

    Yeonseo and SH’s scenes grate on me. They’re like those annoying couples who do PDA.

    Yeonseo is different from Hari. Hari likes to give Taemoo the benefit of the doubt. Yeonsoo? She’s quick to misunderstand SH.

    As for SH? What’s wrong with him?

    I’ve always found the puppy-eyed look cute on guys, but after seeing this actor do it so many times, they’re just as annoying as Kim Seonho’s dimples.

    It’s a one-trick pony: this puppy-eyed look.

    And at other times, when this actor does it, he looks either cross-eyed or near-sighted.

    I wish he’d stop this mannerism after this drama.

  104. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @agdr, I’m munching on prunes. I am too lazy to go all the way to the kitchen to get the other fruits. LOL.

    I’m sleepy. I think I’ll head off for now. I’ll come by and read you both later!!

    Thanks, it’s been fun!

  105. Thanks @GB. Night, night. 😘

    Sorry were slow. I’m really savouring this episode because there’s only 2 next week.

    Andwaeeeeeee! 😭

  106. What? You’re a size 6, @agdr03? That was my shoe size when I was?? hmmm??? in third grade? fourth grade?

    Just kidding.

    Big feet run in our family. πŸ™‚

  107. Good night, @GB!

  108. Awww I like that they talk about the issue of their secret relationship. Taemu missed her a lot, he’s doing the puppy eyes.

    Aigoo, he really wanted to hear her say that he is her boyfriend. πŸ₯°

  109. BTW, I checked out what Taemoo had written on his ipad. He wrote:

    Harissi…
    Shin Hari ssi! (heart heart)
    Hariya!! (heart)
    Harissi!! (heart heart)
    Shinharissi (red heart)

    De-i-re…

    I think he was spelling “Dear” in korean.

    That’s why when Hari saw it, she smacked the ipad.

  110. I know! You mentioned before that hubby and sons are very tall too so no surprise there. 😁

  111. Oh thanks for that! I was wondering what he wrote. I saw the hearts. 😁

  112. He couldn’t concentrate during his board meeting. That’s normal.

    Dropping by to see her in the lab, and changing her schedule… that’s a no-no, though.

    πŸ™‚

    But I had to laugh when SH dragged him out while he was still speaking to her, “Wait, I’ll send you the schedule by email via Team Leader Lee.”

    I’m sure he arranged it so it would synchronize with his schedule in California. She’d be free when he called her up. There’s a 16 hour time difference.

  113. Awww another sweet kiss even with Taemu teasing her. I liked that the swing was made used as a pulling object rather than an arm. πŸ₯°

  114. Hmmm… I guess Taemoo really wanted to be known as the boyfriend.

    Reminds me of those celebrity “scandals” in Korean entertainment. The women are always the one accused of wanting to reveal their “secret” relationship in social media by giving hints.

  115. They’re all just variations of Shin Hari’s name. πŸ™‚

    But the last one was different. That’s why he wrote question marks afterwards.

  116. I thought Taemu would know straight away what the time difference is but he didn’t. πŸ˜‚

    I agree, he can’t just change her schedule.

    He wanted to see her before his flight and it sounded like it was a long business trip.

  117. We’ll technically it’s only Sunghoon that knows and Yongseo right?

    It’s his first relationship isn’t it? He just wanted to hear it from her. 😁

    Oh I’ve never heard of those scandals. 😬

  118. Was it a long business trip? This is only my second time watching this episode (unlike somebody here. lol)

    I like how the archaeopteryx showed up again as soon as her phone buzzed, and she disappeared like magic.

    I wouldn’t mind the cousin ending up SH. hahaha. Just to spite Yeonseo.

  119. Yes, it’s Taemoo’s first relationship.

    I like how he just showed up during her interview.

    Wait… so he wasn’t gone long, @agdr03! Most likely just for a day. He flew to California to sign the deal? then he went home again.

    Aigooo. Electronic signatures (e.g., docusign) are valid in the US, and have the same validity as handwritten signatures.

  120. Guilty! πŸ”¨ (is that the right emoji?) Charged! πŸ˜‚

    Taemu said at the snack bar that it’s nice to use the dinner as an excuse to ask her for a date since they’ve been hiding it for so long. He said as well that he’s just happy to see her after such a long time.

    To spite Yeonso. πŸ˜‚

  121. I’m all done already. Just sitting in the car that I paid for a 2hr minimum.

    Ah Yeonseo. We don’t like her but I think the author doesn’t think as badly about her as we do. I think her character is there to provide contrast and a different set of behaviours from Ha-ri. I do think that Tae mu would have been bored by her.

  122. I’m pretty sure it was a bit longer but wait let me call Taemu. 🀣

  123. Isn’t the actress playing the reporter the actress playing the secretary in “Dali and the Cocky Prince”?

    Anyway, the way he greeted Hari and Minwoo didn’t sound menacing at all but he made it clear that he noticed that they were together. “It’s been a while, you two.”

    And that was a great segue to an invitation to dine with her.

    Interviewer: This question is similar to the one I just asked Ms. Shin. Are you going to vie Ms Shin a bonus?
    TM: Of course. I need to keep my promise as a president.
    Hari: (tsk)
    TM: And, Ms. Shin, do you want to have dinner with me today?

    lol. He has a one-track mind and I like it. He can’t wait to be with her.

  124. Hahaha. To spite Yeonsoo, I’m rooting for cousin and SH.

    I’m almost at the snack bar. I’m slow at typing and watching at the same time. (Plus I’m drinking coffee and chewing my toast.)

  125. The reporter’s name is the actress’s real name. She was the sister in zombie detective, too. I really think she’s funny.

  126. @Fern, how are you? It didn’t feel like you were there long. Did they take a lot of blood?

    You’re feeling ok?

  127. No worries. Take your time. I took a nap this afternoon.

    I don’t mind playing the playground kiss scene for repeats. πŸ₯°

  128. @Fern,

    What do you mean you paid a car for a 2hr minimum? You mean you rented a car to get to your appointment?

    Yes. I don’t like Yeonsoo’s character. But I get that she’s a stooge to show Hari’s much better qualities.

    I just wish the fangirls would see that. It’s annoying when I go on tumblr to look for gifs and I see all the squeals and emojis. Yuck. Yuck.

  129. I agree @Fern, she’s funny. Hwang Bo-Ra. 😁

  130. They decided not to take blood but did 2 PCR tests; one to send away and one β€˜local. Temperature checked, blood pressure, blood oxigenation. That’s it.

    It’s cold here today but sunny so it’s really pleasant to be outside in the car.

  131. Enjoy the sunshine. I wish for sunshine for a long time. πŸ™πŸΌ

  132. Oh, you’re right!! She’s the sister in Zombie Detective.

    I didn’t know that she used her own name. “Hwang Bora.”

    Too funny. I wonder who’s style and mannerism she’s mimicking in this cameo.

  133. Squeals and emojis! 🀣

    The health care is free but we must pay to park at the hospital area. I don’t mind. It’s still the better side of the deal.

    No, I drove the beast-like old Volvo wagon. It’s not pretty but inside it’s strangely cushy.

  134. She may be going for the style of a particular Korean interviewer. 🀣 I wonder if we’ll find out.

  135. It was funny, too, Taemoo met Hari and her colleagues at the elevator on the way out to their date.

    He intended to pass by her floor to pick her up for her date. I wonder who would do that in real life? But it was such an old world/old style of dating but gentlemanly way of doing it.

    It reminded me of prom dates when the guy goes to your house and faces your parents, and pesky siblings on his own. I always felt sorry for the guy because he must be feeling nervous too to meet her family — and it’s just for prom.

  136. Oh I’m pretty sure that happens here too, the going to the girl’s house to pick her up for the prom. ☺️

    I liked it too that he went to get her, timing was spot on. ☺️

  137. Ah. So you got the Volvo wagon? My mommy car was a minivan. We went through three minivans.

    Okay. I’m not at the snack bar scene.

  138. Yes. His elevator timing was great.

    But I like that he wasn’t flustered at all to meet her. He was prepared to reveal anyway that he was Hari’s boyfriend should things come to a head.

  139. @packmule3, has no beau ever come to your workplace? I agree that it could be uncomfortable for either party.

    I liked that Mr Gui? got yanked back by more perceptive boss lady.

  140. I agree. Taemu is ready to tell the world but I admire his patience too especially with waiting for Hari to be ready so they can tell grandpa.

  141. We had a mini van in the Seattle , simply because it was so easy slide the side door open to throw a stroller and baby gear in, and get the baby into a baby seat without bending so much.

    We had a couple of people carriers here in the U.K. Husband wanted the Volvo for safety. It’s like driving a barge. Rather too big for Devon one lane roads.

  142. Awww. He’s unhappy that they were dating in a snack bar. He waited for days to see her again and they ended up dating in a non-romantic, very public place.

    For her, this dinner was to fulfil an obligation, the award for winning MVP.

    For him, the dinner was an excuse to date for real.

    TM: Honestly, it felt good to say it in front of other people after hiding it for so long.

    It makes sense. He’s not somebody to do things in an underhanded manner. Not even in business dealings.

    She said that it had been awkward for her with everybody seeing it.

    TM: I was just happy to see you after such a long time. Are you really so unhappy about it?

    Uh-oh. He’s about to get sulky here. He’s worried that she doesn’t care for him/doesn’t miss him as much as he does.

    I like that she quickly reassured him that wasn’t the case. She just wanted them to be careful.

    See this couple? They talk things over before great misunderstandings happen. Unlike SH and Yeonsoo.

    TM: Is that why you treated your boyfriend’s call like some spam call?

    She denied it again.

    Hari: That’s not it. (pause) Then what should I do? Should I go around telling people I’m dating the president of my company?

    Then the waitress came. She asked her who the man was.

    Hari: He’s my company’s…

    Then she spotted Taemoo’s sad face. He looked away.

    Hari: He’s my boyfriend.

    Awwww… Our Hari did very well here. She has great EQ.

    If I were the girl, I would’ve been upset too if my boyfriend was hiding me from everybody.

  143. I loved that TM said he would wait for her to be ready regarding telling Grandfather. I admired that so much.

  144. These 2 have great EQ compared to the second couple. For a couple who haven’t dated, they have come a long way very quickly, imo.

  145. No, @Fern.

    That never happened. No BFs showed up at the workplace.

    Edited by pm3 πŸ™‚

  146. Yes, I liked that Hari gave him that reassurance.

    I’m squealing because of the different angles of the playground kiss scene. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

  147. Also, in one AHS interview, @agdr03, he said that he wouldn’t keep a secret relationship secret, especially when they’re about to be discovered anyway. It was KSJ who said that she would keep it a secret until marriage plans were set.

  148. Dear ladies, I should get back home. Husband is doing wfh today and he will wonder. Especially since I’m not allowed to go anywhere else on the way back.

    Sorry about the confusion about parking vs rental car. I worded it awkwardly.

  149. Aha! You’ve been watching their interviews too. Charged! πŸ˜‚

    Seriously, I saw that too. It was an on the spot answer and they have to match but they didn’t on that question. 😁

    I hope she can change her mind later.

  150. @Fern, yes I love that about Taemu as well. He’s waiting for Hari to be ready to meet grandpa. He knows it’s not something that’s easy to do since she’s β€œcommon people”.

    Take care on the drive home.

  151. @packmule3, I never worked in a place that had very high security. Law offices had reception back then but nothing else. I understand why now. 😊

    Also it would depend on whether you wanted the relationship to be common knowledge or not. There’s nothing as speedy as office gossip.

    Good night @agdr03 and good rest of the morning, @packmule3! Thank you!

  152. Yes. The minivans were a blessing.

    Edited by packmule3 πŸ™‚

    But for some reason, I can’t imagine Taemoo and Hari buying a van. Their generation probably finds van a “boomer” kind of thing. lol.

  153. I love the swing kiss moment, too. For several reasons. What are your reasons, @agdr03?

  154. I used a van for my first driving test which I failed. 😁 But when passed, I drove Toyota tarago’s for awhile. I liked it too. ☺️

  155. My reasons are:

    – they reaffirmed themselves that they definitely like each other, they want to say that they’re each other’s boyfriend/girlfriend.
    – they missed each other, hence Hari closed her eyes when Taemu’s face was close. She wanted a kiss.
    – Taemu was still a gentleman asking to do something if he can.
    – I liked that he teased her about her closing her eyes.
    – that pull on the swing. I like it rather than an arm pull then kiss.
    – I liked that she pulled him for another kiss.
    – it’s sweet and tender.

    This is the kiss exam. Love it! πŸ˜‚

  156. I like the swing kiss because:

    a. it came after they communicated and resolved an issue.

    b. it started with him teasing her. He really intended to kiss her when he stood up but he delayed the moment to tease her.

    Hari: What? Why are you looking at me like that?
    TM: There’s something I’ve been wanting to do. Can I?
    Hari: What?

    See? There he goes again. He asks permission like in an old-style courtship.

    He stands up and leans in. She naturally closes her eyes, expecting a kiss. But he doesn’t kiss so she opens an eye.

    This reminds me of the time he told her that he was good at a lot of things, and she thought he was being lewd.

    TM: you had some sauce on your cheek, so I was going to wipe it for you. Why did you close your eyes?

    Hahaha. That’s not true, though.

    Hari: My eyes were stinging!

    She pushes her swing away from him to get away from him, and he pulls her back. Then, he kisses her.

    Sigh.

    c. the kiss is so much romantic when it’s unexpected.

    Then, they smile and she tugs him to her for another kiss.

    d. the kiss is reciprocated. It wasn’t just him wanting to kiss her. She too wasn’t shy about showing him that she wanted to kiss him, too.

  157. For the amount of breakups that Yoora and Minwoo had, is she even surprised that he doesn’t want to get married?

  158. Yes the old fashion way of asking if he’s allowed or if it’s ok. ☺️

    Sigh πŸ₯°

  159. Ahhh I forgot about the rewatch!
    Just caught up on your comments
    1. @pm3 try the pixi detoxifEYE under eye patches. They’re great. I’ve gotten mine from target. Also, there’s a blogger/podcaster whose content isn’t my cup of tea BUT after two jaw surgeries she’s got depuffing down to an art. She created her own ice roller and it is magical. I keep it in my fridge and use at night while I watch my dramas and in the morning if I need a little pick me up whilst waking up. https://shopskinnyconfidential.com/products/hot-mess-ice-roller
    2. I liked the swing kiss because they both had smiles on their faces going into it
    3. I think her female boss knows something is going on. By the way she jerked her bf back from the elevator and when they left the restaurant that night she gave them an out to leave alone together. Or maybe she’s just trying to stay away from the president so the bf doesn’t give them away. Side note on that part- watching people β€œact” drunk isn’t usually something I find funny but the female coworker air walking bad me cracking up. And when she yelled out β€˜damn this world’

  160. High five, @agdr03!!! We like the same things about the kiss.

    hahaha. We’ve really been together watching kiss scenes after kiss scenes for so long now.

    Yes. I like that they talked about the “boyfriend” issue first. Coming to an understanding or an agreement before the kiss makes the kiss meaningful.

    I’d rather have that Yeonsoo and SH’s kiss in the forest after the hike. That was trashy to me. Nothing was resolved but she was already horny for a steamy night because he looked cute.

    And I like that he was a gentleman but wasn’t a doormat like SH. He still liked to tease and play jokes on her.

    Then, the pull on the swing? yes. She was cute because her instinct is to push away from him. (That’s why she almost fell on the stairs in Episode 1, and why they both tumbled to the ground in Episode 2)

    When she’s upset, she pushes him away. That’s her habit.

    And this time, he caught her again.

  161. Oh and one more thing
    4. I liked how taemoo didn’t lie and say β€œit’s fine. You have nothing to worry about” when HaRi was asking about the grandfather. He acknowledged it was a hurdle and reassured her he would wait until she was ready.

  162. Ugh I think my last comment didn’t go through
    4. I liked how TaeMoo didn’t lie when she asked about his grandfather by saying β€œno he’s fine. It’s not a big deal”. He acknowledged her worries and reassured her he’d wait until she was ready.

  163. @birdie007, that young female coworker is always fainting anyway (remember the blood?) so I didn’t mind her drunkenness at the office party.

    The three coworkers are funnier than “Three Stooges.” There were so many close encounters with them in this episode alone.

    I’ll have to go to my local Target then and look at this detoxifEYE eye masks. Thanks!

  164. High five chingu! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

    Kisses and kisses and kisses, there’s lots and lots, yep. πŸ˜‚

    Oh I didn’t like it too when YS wanted a hot night instead of being checked for her strained ankle. 😬 Have some common sense girl please.

  165. Another shoe trope!

    This time she left it in the men’s bathroom!

  166. The love confession of Mr. Gye is too funny.

    “I like chicken gizzards and I like spicy marinated crabs, too. But since you like them, I pretended not to eat them and gave them to you.”

    Sigh. It’s like in the bible.

    “Greater love hath no one than this, that he lay down one’s life for his friends.”

    In Mr. Gye’s case, it’s

    “Greater love has no one than this than to give up chicken gizzards and spicy marinated crab for his love.”

  167. @birdie007, we have it here too, the eye masks. I’ll look for it next time I’m at the mall. Thanks 😊

    Yes! I laughed out loud too when the single coworker said that. πŸ˜‚ So unfair for her! πŸ˜‚

  168. That’s cool! πŸ˜‚ They we’re funny too.

  169. And Mr. Gye was too over-the-top. For the first time, he showed that his manly side.

    Grabbing her wrist,

    “Ya, Yeo ui-joo. I’m not drunk so listen carefully. Don’t go on that blind date.”

    But you know how it is in Korean language. The subject and the verb are inversed so he said his order with more dramatic flair.

    He said, “That blind date…(pause)…don’t go.”

    hahaha. It sounded like life-and-death for him.

    But the reaction of the Hari and the coworker was funny, too. It was TMI for them.

  170. And Mr. Gye was too over-the-top. For the first time, he showed that his manly side.

    Grabbing her wrist,

    “Ya, Yeo ui-joo. I’m not drunk so listen carefully. Don’t go on that blind date.”

    hahaha. It sounded like life-and-death for him.

    But the reaction of the Hari and the coworker was funny, too. It was TMI for them.

  171. So there’s the stripe slippers, her shoes at the fake date, her breakfast date shoes which got thrown in the mens bathroom.

    Cinderella much? 😁

  172. I know, right?

    Don’t forget her sneaker at the beach! She didn’t lose it but he tied the laces for her. πŸ™‚

  173. @birdie007, yes, TM was honest about the possibility of problems with Grandfather.

    I agree with your point No. 3 above. Boss lady suspects, hopes or knows. She wasn’t as drunk as the girl co-worker when the holding hands was reported in the bar. She has a watchful eye on everyone.
    Yes, to the air-walking as well. That was hilarious.πŸ˜†

  174. Agree, I liked the way the scene was played out. πŸ˜‚

    Mr Gye was dead serious when he confessed.

  175. He’s got good timing at the elevator again.

    He knew that Hari must be feeling bad about writing that letter of apology. So he must have been planning to take her out to console her. And he didn’t mind that his friends come along, too.

  176. Oh yeah, yeah. The sneakers too. ☺️

    Aww, true. He wanted to see how she is after the apology letter.

  177. Actually, the female coworker and Mr. Gye had great improvs.

    There was one scene when Mr. Gye pretended to drive truck while he was being pushed by the coworker back to his office desk.

    Then there’s this scene when the coworker was air-walking.

    I don’t think these were scripted, but the director/film editor wouldn’t edit those out because they were comical. The actors increased their airtime, then.

  178. My gosh, Mr Gye is a pro at making bomb shots. 😁

    Does it taste nice? I’ve yet to try. 😁

    I have soju kalamansi. I just need to get the beer.

  179. I hope you all like the eye patches. Also, after wearing them under, flip them up for you top eyelid. And don’t forget the ice roller!!
    Sorry I got a little ahead of time in the rewatch. Oopsie

  180. I don’t think the second meeting at the elevator was accidental. He must have wanted to see her because of the letter of apology.

    But since he learned that Hari and her coworkers were going to dinner to cheer up, he decided to invite himself along.

    And just like that, he had another chance to date her in the open. It’s just like the snackbar date. He made the date happen when he asked her out in front of the reporter as a reward for winning MVP.

    Taemoo is opportunistic…in a good way. He exploits the circumstances and makes their dates happen whenever he sees the chance.

  181. Yup, I noticed those too. 😁

    Oh dear there goes cousin saying the wtf. πŸ˜‚ But the animation made it more funny.

    Though the Jesus bit wasn’t. 😬

  182. I really like how consistent the comedy is in this drama. I don’t like when shows start out light and funny then take a deep dive into unrelieved pathos or emotional tragedy. I don’t mind a blend, but it must be somewhat consistent for me to believe it. This seems to be a true comedy and I was completely ready for that.

  183. For someone whose never had a relationship and is learning then he’s grades are very good. 😁

    He’s smart. ☺️

  184. I love the contrast here.

    I know Taemoo’s a great chef, and he’s great at their breakfast date, but he’s not a dab hand at grilling beef.

    I don’t think he has much experience at grilling beef in a barbecue restaurant because he doesn’t go on company parties like this.

    That’s why he burned the mushrooms. And I think he overcooked the steak. lol.

  185. Good point on the bbq cooking! I was going to say why is it burning? 😁

  186. Hari wanted him out, but Taemoo didn’t want to leave the party so he asked her coworkers directly if they found his presence uncomfortable. It was sneaky of him, though. He knew they would say no.

  187. There goes the contrast between Yeonsoo’s and Hari’s relationship.

    Yeonsoo and SH arguing in the corridor. She didn’t even want to listen to him.

    Hari and Taemoo discussing in the stairwell. They’re prepared to listen to each other.

  188. Ah here’s the scene where KSJ reminded me of Keira Knightley, it’s at 54:29 onwards. ☺️

    Look at Taemu asking her what happens if she’s drank a lot. I’ve high expectations for the showing of some skin on the last episode so I’m sure it wouldn’t be because she’s drunk. πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ™πŸΌ

  189. Contrast between Hari and Yeonsoo.

    What Hari said:

    Hari: By the way, about our grandfather, is he really not angry anymore? He’s still mad is he? I knew it.
    TM: Don’t worry about it too much. He’ll get over it.
    Hari: How can I not worry about it? He’s your grandfather. I want to be loved by the person you love the most, too.
    TM: Do you know you looked really pretty when you said that?

    What Yeonsoo said:

    YS: Do you know what’s really infuriating? It’s how you ignored me and blindly did as Kang Taemoo said. Are you that family’s servant?

    See the difference?

  190. I love the scene when Hari says that she cannot not worry because it’s Taemu’s grandfather. The dialogue and the way she was holding on to him was nicely. πŸ₯°

  191. Oh dear. 😬 The look on Sunghoon. πŸ˜•

  192. @agdr03, I love that scene, too. They are really taking care of each other.

  193. And @Fern, after Taemu said she looked really pretty when she said that, electricity’s gone up. πŸ₯°

  194. Lol. I thought they were going to be drunk-kissing like SH and Yeonsoo!!

    It was the way he closed the door behind him. I was expecting a make-out session.

    TM was waiting for her to come out of the ladies room.

    TM: Are you okay? You seem to be drinking a lot.
    Hari: I wasn’t. I drank way less than I usually do.

    I think she’s tipsy.

    TM: Really? Then, if you drink more than you usually do (walking closer until they now in the stairwell), what happens?

    Hahaha. There! I thought it was time for you-know-what. But she looked into his eyes, and he stared back. This time — note, THIS time — she knew him well. She no longer suspected him of trying to be seductive or lewd or lusty.

    That’s why she grinned at him, and he smiled. She tapped his chest and said, “Seriously!”

    Then, they talked about his grandpa. πŸ™‚

    I like this stairwell scene because —

    a. what she said about his grandpa, and
    b. she understood how his mind worked. She gets when he’s teasing her with those statements full of innuendoes.

  195. @Fern, I think your right that Ms Seo knows about HaTae’srelationship. She must notice Taemu’s appearances in their department, the sudden bbq dining and she didn’t ask for Hari to come home with them. She let them be. ☺️

  196. Whoops. Accidentally clicked send too soon.

    As I was saying…

    I like this stairwell scene because β€”

    a. of what she said about his grandpa, and
    b. she finally understood how his mind worked. She gets when he’s teasing her with those statements full of innuendoes. She’s not anymore shocked or scared that he might do something inappropriate to her. She knows that he’s a gentleman, and he likes to tease her for a reaction.

  197. Yup the door closing and the suggestive question. But isn’t he sweet again for waiting for her while she went to the bathroom because he thought she was drinking a lot. πŸ₯°

    Sigh this couple.

  198. Yes, when I saw that door shut in a preview, I thought ‘Here we go.’ But HR knew it was joke on being seductive, lewd or lusty – not the act.

    I really like Kim Sejeong’s way of showing emotion. She seems to have a natural flare for making the right facial expression in almost every scene and in a very natural way. I imagine that she is somewhat like that in RL. AHS is responding well to her cues, too. I wasn’t sure if I would like them together in the first ep.

  199. yes. That was very…gentlemanly (how many times have we said this about Taemoo?). .. of him to wait for her outside the restroom because she’d been drinking. Taking care of his girlfriend from the sideline.

    He wasn’t lying then. He told her that he knew how to take care of ladies very well. πŸ™‚

  200. @Fern, I’m a big fan of KSJ now. I liked her in The Uncanny Counter but she’s so lovely here.

    She made it easy for AHS to adapt. He said she did so many things and it helped a lot in acting. He’s exact words were she’s the best partner. πŸ₯°

    No, I’m not shipping. πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

  201. In the continuation of the scene in episode to, Mrs Seo (and Mr Gye) are VERY quick to let Grandfather know that they were along with HR and TM at a business meal with the result that Grandfather seems mollified and there is no immediate scene.

    I’m looking forward to Monday.

  202. @Fern,

    from what I gathered in one of his interview, AHS intentionally didn’t want to be too close and too friendly with KSJ in the beginning of the filming so his awkwardness and natural reticence would show in his acting.

    But KSJ was too friendly so it was hard for him to resist. When you watch the earlier interviews, he was rather stiff compared to KSJ’s bouncy self.

    So, it seems to me that the awkwardness in Episode 1 was deliberate on his part. He wanted to look self-conscious and uncomfortable.

  203. Maybe a few times now. ☺️

  204. @agdr03, I know you’re not shipping. Nope. Not a bit. But you are very reasonably fond of both of them and how they are together even behind the scenes.

    I’m waiting, waiting, waiting for the family scenes next week. Who will get hit with chicken? Or will chicken coated in brown rice powder (flour?) be the next big product?

    I want some, btw. If it weren’t Friday…

  205. Speaking of change, here’s a bts abs I’m not sure if AHS changed the lines but look at KSJ being so bubbly happy again. Even the director was laughing. πŸ˜‚

  206. Same here, @Fern. From the preview, I thought they were locking themselves in a bathroom to have a necking session (hahaha. I don’t get why people think that having a sexual interlude in a public bathrooms and airplane bathrooms are a good idea. All the germs!) and I was worried.

    But as it turned out, he was just joking. And this time, she didn’t bite. That’s why she smacked lightly and told him to get serious now.

    And then, they talked about his grandpa.

    So they were on the same wavelength. For me when couples can share inside jokes or they can understand each other’s sense of humor, then they’ve bonded.

  207. The holding hands under the table was funny too.

    I don’t think Taemoo minded that they were caught holding hands. He kinda looked smug. lol.

  208. Yes. Getting the humour AND enjoying it is key to a good dating/marriage relationship. I really believe that. TM & HR have it. The other two don’t (yet).

    They wanted a private space to converse but not to make out.

    @agdr03, thank you for that link. Yes, they seem like their characters more and more.

  209. You got me @Fern with the powdered brown rice to make the chicken crispy. I should look out for it.

    I know it works with, wait, I forgot the name of it. πŸ˜‚ I’ll tell you tomorrow. It’s in my cupboard.

    Yes! I’m very fond of this pairing especially because of Hari and Taemu. πŸ₯°

  210. He was probably going to ask them if they can keep it a secret. πŸ˜‚

  211. Right, @Fern.

    What’s the point of spending the rest of your life with a humorless person?

    @agdr03,

    Wait. AHS said KSJ was his “best partner”?

    You better not ship them!! I’m just thankful that they can look back at this moment in time and remember it with much joy and laughter. They’re still young. 26 and 25, right? They still have a long way to go.

  212. Okay. I’ve to go now.

    It’s also way past your bedtime, @agdr03! Aren’t you glad it’s the weekend?

    Thanks @Fern and @agdr03. I had fun!

  213. I can’t wait till next week too. I think I’ll lose sleep over it. 😁 But I’ve never been excited about a drama ending before. I really hope it won’t be too angsty.

    I’d like a nice fitting ending to this lovely couple. ☺️

    Oh I forgot to say that KSJ initially wasn’t the FL for this? It’s Jo Boa. I can’t imagine her being Hari but then KSJ’s gotten to me. 😁

  214. @packmule3, do you mean remember with fondness like 25/21? I would like to see them in another show perhaps in a couple of years. It would be nice to think that they could be friends like the Goblin gang.

    Best partner so far, perhaps. KSJ seems more mature somehow – more show-biz wise is what I mean, so it’s rather natural that he can lean on her a bit this time.

  215. No I’m not shipping them. πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈβ˜ΊοΈ

    I’ve never had a ship sail so no point. ☺️ AHS said that at the press conference of the show. I’m just happy that they’re comfortable and I believe their close friends now.

    All I’m going to do is rewatch this show over and over until I get over it too. 😁

    Don’t worry I’m calm and collected. πŸ˜‰

  216. Jo Boa would have made this completely different. I’m happy with the casting, although JB is good. It’s perhaps presumptive to think that AHS was improved by putting him opposite KSJ, but I sort of think it happened. It’s my personal opinion; I think she has extended his range.

    Sweet dreams @agdr03. Have a fine weekend, all. Thanks again.

  217. I’m having a sleep in, don’t worry.

    No schedule for the weekend except Sunday.

    Thanks for the rewatch. I love this episode. πŸ₯°

    @Fern, till next rewatch. 😘

  218. I’ll second that @Fern. I think it really did.

    Good day! ☺️

    Hi Everyone, I slept very early and so well. And wow! I see that you’ve all gone on for about 5 hours!!! Did I get it right?

    Timing start was 6:30am and last comment was 11:23am LOL. Kudos to you (especially @agdr03) for having stamina!!

    I’ve read everything and laughed heartily at your thoughts. It’s as much fun as watching the episode. πŸ˜‚ 😍

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the links. πŸ˜„

  220. Hats off to @agdr03 for our five-hour marathon. She’s really into this drama. I believe this is her new favorite. πŸ™‚

    @Fern, who’s Jo Boa? Is she that actress in “Tale of the Gumiho” with Lee Dong Wook? Then I say no. She has zero appeal for me. I can’t imagine her doing the “Rachel and Samantha” shimmy.

    I’m Team Kim Sejeong all the way.

  221. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @pkml3, yes Jo Bo Ah is that actress in ‘Tales of the Gumiho’. I agree, she does not have the presence, appeal or range to have made Ha Ri as lovable.

    She’s OK for light-weight roles or roles that do not require complicated nuances in expression, and fine as the 2nd FL, the jealous bitch, and the like.

  222. Howdy! πŸ‘‹πŸ»

    Did we set a record for the rewatch did we? πŸ˜‚

    It’s all team effort and so true as well, it’s my new favourite kdrama. 😍

    I slept in today till 9am. ☺️

  223. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @agdr03! I salute you for your stamina. I don’t think I could have made the 1 hour show last that long, or I myself last that long either LOL.

    I do spend a lot of time online, but I also get up and do stuff in between. Doing a non-stop rewatch means one does not really budge, so that’s really something!!!

  224. Hi @GB ☺️ You should have seen my schedule for Friday. I was at church by 8:30am, had mass, did the Blessed Sacrament of Adoration because our parish was doing a 12 hour with the Lord and rosary after that.

    Got home at 11am, cooked lunch then cleaned the house. After that I had a nap and woke up to cook dinner then went to stations of the cross. When I got home I did my nightly prayers too before the rewatch. πŸ˜‚ After the rewatch was done, I just brushed my teeth and I was asleep soon after. πŸ˜‰

    It was hectic but it was worth it because of HaTae. πŸ₯°

  225. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @agdr03, now I know you really would beat me hollow in terms of stamina!!! LOL. I’d be quite dead by 3pm. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« 😡 😩

    As it was I was dropping at 7pm onwards already. My only excuse is that I’m up usually around 5.30am, and I was moving furniture for my catechetical ‘work’ the whole morning and had to make a long drive in the afternoon. I can’t say I had that much other work the rest of the day. You’re amazing!! πŸ‘ 🀩 πŸ˜„

  226. Oh geez, moving furniture is heavy work, that takes toll @GB. I’d be like you as well.

    I usually wake up at 6am but my sleep time is mostly 12am already which is not good. When I get really tired then I definitely go in earlier. 😁
