I\’m binging The Interest of Love and was shocked to see db only gave it a 6.9! I am sucked in, but ep 12\’s noble idiocy/self preservation x 4 people is frustrating!

    I really like The Interest Of Love. I understand why people were frustrated with it and/or hated it. However, I thought the acting was top notch and the chemistry was on fire. I also thought the show was just as much if not more about the toxic workplace and class dynamics as it was about love. So many workplace romance dramas make it seem that the only peril is being found out—but this realistically showed how fraught the workplace can be especially for women. Their love did not exist in a vacuum removed from real life—as it was intricately tied to their work, she had to break free to move forward. There may have been a better way to do it, but his obsession/devotion made it very hard to do so in a manner that would not destroy them both (and she would most likely gotten the brunt of the scorn anyway). But I get why people didn’t like it.

      The acting is bery good. Workplace dynamics are so intense and toxic. I realize why workplace dating was once frowned on if not forbidden. Also there are heavy ratifications of the father’s unfaithfulness and how it detrimentally affected the wife, son, and daughter (Su Yeong). I shuddered when she told Sang Gu that she destroyed her sandcastles herself to avoid worrying about how they’d get destroyed by outside forces. Then she destroyed her own reputation – didn’t matter that it was a lie- She has no self worth, look at her patents as negative role models. It’s actually quite sad. Slice of life drama done well, I agree.

        Well, that was a twist. Won’t give it away here, but a slice of life theme is that time heals some things, anyway.

Lovely Runner 1 & 2: cute. Coming off with Twinkling watermelon vibes. Does anyone know what those white cellophane wrapped jellies are?

Wedding Impossible final episode *spoiler warning* (Contemplating Wedding Impossible over a pint of BR Jamoca Almond Fudge) To start with, I, for one, am a fan of 16-episode K-dramas. WI is case in point because the characters and story lines were going along all right until ep 9/10 started to wrap things up too quickly and unsatisfactorily because the final episode 12 was approaching. Grandpa and Ji An could have had a chance to build a real familial relationship (along with the other siblings). Do-Han’s growth in acknowledging and living out his honest life could have been more meaningful. A Jeong could have seen her career develop and it would not have had to be at the expense of giving up love. I mean, I liked the way her career struggles were portrayed and she handled standing up for herself in a refreshing way. And it was clever that her RL “acting” was a drama in itself, and she and everyone else got confused. But a couple more episodes would have given the drama a chance to sort out love and career and choices. I wonder if the leads could hear the viewers yelling, “Just like each other! Just date!” because the noble idiocy (as usual) was uncalled for. Still, I had fun watching Wedding Impossible, I just wanted a little more!

    I think rather than add more episodes dramas need to use the time they have more wisely. The third member of the friendship group kept running to the toilet when she saw her friend acting silly with her boyfriend what was that? I assumed she was pregnant so the three friends would be happily married in the end but no it was a pointless element. The evil and silly siblings screen time was wasted time, no one cared. Ajeong’s dad’s new hair what was the point of including that storyline did the actor need a cover for his real life hair change? Maybe it was PPL for the older more financially stable parts of the population. If these and other unnecessary elements of padding were removed we could have kept the fun and moved forward without the separation.

      The dad’s hair tangent seems to be a spoof on that actor’s RL hair transplant journey as seen on Home Alone and another variety show. Not sure it transferred well into the drama.

        So is that what his real hair looks like now? I have seen him in multiple dramas and it’s always been the same receding hairline. I am currently watching hospital ship from 2017 and his hair is receding in that.

          Oh right, Hospital Ship, he was in that. Well, good question, haven’t seen an update or actual proof of successful hair transplant …

WI 8: smexy those two am I right? Or am I wrong? Do they even have who’s sincerely faking and who’s being honest right? A Jeong and Ji Han maybe. But Do Han, is he sincerely faking now and before?

          I was looking everywhere for the alternative word it had used for ceramic only to register that Cera had been randomly changed to ceramic for no reason🤣
          The drink sounds lovely and fragrant. I use a clear vanilla extract too because it’s alcohol free. Vanilla bazaar 100% natural I am not sure if you can get it where you are.

            ^^ Same. When I was little vanilla used to be my most disliked flavor and I used to wonder why my Nana found it soooo relaxing. Now as I am little older I’m discovering the charm of vanilla.

            No worries about the spell check! I’ve been called worse. 😉 Ceramic reminds me of my Nana’s beautiful crockery sets. ♥️😊👌

      It’s easy to make, you can leave out the lavender extract which I just happened to have. The Earl Grey loose tea I have is a lavender earl gray. But teabags work well too.

Does anyone remember watching Melancholia? I\’m over half way (ep 9), and find it incredibly depressing. Does it get less depressing if not happier?

WI reminds me of high jinx chaebol romance dramas of old but with a more polished, even delivery and a slightly more believable (although similar) plot. I feel like recapping it!
