1: Who are you and what have you done with the Korean?

2: Oh, there you are. And it would be a shame not to be prepared if all the stores run out of booze.

4: Who are you and what have you done with the Korean? You are too logical. (And no, I didn’t forget to caption 3, I just needed it to set up 4)

After 1 episode of Chicken Nugget I turned to Flex x Cop and the opening credits immediately showed me what happened to the Nugget 🙂

1: And hide your political message (note the Ukraine-themed clothing)

2 & 3: Like kdramas, you mean? Or all of Netflix?

How to tell you are watching a kdrama.

Also, can’t she say her battery is dead? That’s better English and in this show it could mean one last photo of the dead battery before it trudges off to that great charger in the sky.

PS: Please show, don’t fail to live up to my alternate title.

    The Stud would definitely understand dead much better considering he snatched away his hand from hers since apparently it was not-dead.

    Your nomenclature is spot on. IMO the Stud is playing doom and gloom rather well. ♥️🥳

Because it’s always so reassuring when someone thinks they have to tell you are aren’t a thief, or a weird person or whatever.

1 & 2: Could be worse. If she were a kpoop trainee she wouldn’t be permitted to eat anything.

3: Are you sure? Is there a difference in Chaebolland?

4 & 5: As Terry Pratchett wrote, one-in-a-million chances pop up 9 times out of 10. In Kdramaland as in Discworld.

Now that would make one hell of a show. Or a short one if they don’t bother with the afterlife happy-ever-aftering.

1: Girl understands kdramaland. Imagine how many plot complications could be avoided if people just kept the evidence.

2: So even if the rich 2FL becomes an antagonist, guess she isn’t a complete baddie. Astoundingly decent by chaebol standards, actually.

3 / 4: Him too.

5: Only in the phone? Backups people, backups!!!!

    That last SS. I LOVED the way she taunts him. Aka blackmails (in his own words)

      I love how she’s so matter-of-fact. Nothing is over-the-top or over-done. One of my fave romcom FLs ever!

        Absolutely!! she is so awesome. Their bickering is amazing. Even Dohan is confused if they are fighting or getting close. Lol.

    She’ll be watching out for Do Han from a (very very short) distance.

Argh!!! That’s a sling, darn it, not a slingshot. There’s a difference. Slingshots are modern and depend on something very elastic, like rubber.
