I guess the heartbreak is coming soon, but I hope that like in Louie, the show can stay cute even when our leads separation comes. And what is the deal with that stalker dude? So far his evilness seems a bit childish, like when he put glue on the door handle, but he might become more dangerous. I think DoDoSolSolLaLaSol is the old man and not Dr Cha.

Strictly Lee Jae-wook: That was the most heartfelt confession and sweet first kiss. I love the look on his face when he decided to get up and sit on her side and how he outstretched his hand and she was the one to intertwine her fingers with his.

Alas, Joon is a 12th grader and lying to Ra-ra.

I love Seung-gi and Ha-young's "song" Sung Si-kyung's The Road To Me.

A few thoughts on this weeks episoeds
This drama make me so happy. I agree that Ra Ra is just an overall truly good person. She seems the type to never put anyone down, and would always find goodness in anyone or anything. I think that she that trait from her Father. From the beginning she seemed to always support her and that upbringing influenced her. I also think that her open ( I don't think she is capable of lying) and joyful personality makes her quite perceptive. She was not clueless about Dr. Cha, as evidence in the way she knew he was going to confess and turned him down. That had to be one of the nicest rejections ever. I also believe she won't mind Jun's age secret. I think she will be shocked and first, but completely understand his situation and be accepting once he explains.
I just want to mention her Stalker. His reactions when she wanted more students was chilling.(also last weeks slamming of door anyone?) And as the preview hinted at, I am scared for the little boy. Stalker seems like he will do anything to keep her for himself not to mention all the pictures he has taken off her social media. I wonder if he was at her concert as well, and if he moved to the city before or after her.
Lastly, that kiss was also very swoon worthy. such a lovely setting for it. I found it really cute that he asked for a date as his reward for practicing.

I love this show even as I know we are about to hit a few dark spots. That will include a forced separation now that Dear Old Mom has located our truant boy. I hope we still getting plenty of the silly and romantic elements that have made this show a happy pill for a lot of people.

For once, I’m hoping for separation and time jump. Can we please have Joon finish his high school and than come back to court Ra Ra again?

I still really like the positivity this show brings every week. I know that there will be heartbreak in store for us. But i would like to bask in the sunshiney happy vibes that Lala brings to everyone.

despite the age gap twist, this is still my happy pill every week lol

I loved the contrast between how Dr.Cha just grabbed onto Ra-ra's hand, but Joon opened his hand, palm up, and had let Ra-ra decide whether she would take his hand or not. I'm glad that Ra-ra rejected Dr.Cha so clearly and quirkycase is right about how she handled that. She was kind rather than apologetic and that had really smoothed over the potential awkwardness.

I want to take a look at Joon's mom's purse. How many white envelopes of money does she have? She even tips with a white envelope! Joon's dad is a piece of work. I hope she gets a divorce and becomes part of the Wishing-for-Divorce club. I'm really hoping the head henchman will be one of Ra-ra's students. They're hilarious the two times they've interacted.

I also suspect Harabeoji as dodosolsolalasol. But it was hilarious how Ra-ra thought it was Dr.Cha. I was totally on board with her deduction, until she explained it to Joon, who was not impressed. Then I realized how silly it was! And was relieved it wasn't Dr.Cha.

I love this show. The not-so-grumpy-puppy is so adorable and I can’t with these two!!
I love the leads and the wonderful people that they are. I thought his age reveal will affect my enjoyment of the show but it doesn’t. There is a wonderful childlike quality to Lala and a mature vibe to Joon that somehow it feels like they are perfect for each other.

I am so glad Dr.Cha love triangle ended now. It was really awkward and unpleasant.

Watching Joon while eating is my new favorite pastime 🥰

This week's episodes still had Mimi (Byul)'s funny and humorous moments.

I hope in the end of DoSolLa, Lala and Joon were now both a successful pianists when they finally did a great jobs at playing piano. Also, I hope they play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

The high schooler part was obviously a shock for me. But later on, the level of maturity joon reflects unlike many other actual adults sold me. He is so warm and mature and supports rara on all her new ventures that it melts my heart. And rara who is so kind and positive that in joons own words, she was a joy in joons depressed life. They are soo good for each other.
And on another note, i have noticed this trend in MLs recently, the calm, mature and the suppotive kinda ML are kinda popular. Unlike back in a day , where the ML trend was the bad guy who literally makes the FLs life miserable coz he secretly likes her. And i have to say, the recent MLs are a million times better than the bad-boy-but-supposedly-nice MLs.

Thank you @missvictrix. These were two sweet episodes. One thing that interests me is how did Joon grow up to be this, yes mature, but probably more important caring and considerate young man. He had to pick it up somewhere and from what we know (as of now) of his parents it doesn’t look like it came from them.
(Joon reminds me a little bit of Joon-young (Seo Kang-joon) in THE THIRD CHARM who came from a toxic home environment but grew into a caring adult.)
This young man can do just about anything he sets his mind on. He will be the perfect son-in-law. Lol only it won’t be to Sook-kyung.

I am not worried about the age reveal because I feel writer-nim has things in control.
One area where I think Joon is now ‘letting his hair down’ and being his age if you will is when he and Seung-ki are together. (Yes I agree with Miss Victrix. Yoon Jong-bin is giving a wonderful performance.)
Seung-ki from the beginning has treated Joon as an equal notwithstanding the supposed age difference. There maybe something subconscious going on here. Anyway Seung-ki felt confident to give Joon advice in matters of love and as we see in the fourth pic above Joon felt comfortable asking advice of this supposedly younger guy. Seung-ki is becoming Joon’s ‘guy’ pal.

Thanks @missvictrix for such a beautiful recap. You put words there nicely and I can’t write a better version myself.

In all, the show is comforting and inspires people to be kind towards the others. I love that you pointed out that the show isn’t just silliness, it has a clever way to inspire people to face life’s most tragical situations wonderfully. And that’s what is important, isn’t it?

Even when something bad happens, it’s nice to know that we can still be happy and all. Look at Ra-ra for example, she is doing well given her most tragic situation (orphan, poor, has no stable income). Dr.Cha has abandoned everything a ‘sane’ person wouldn’t have, and he became much happier with how he’s doing now compared to the ‘normal’ life he once had. The ajummas at the hairdressers shop are pretty hilarious too; they all want a divorce but can’t get one. Ha Yeong’s boy friend (haha) is also supportive and heartwarming. He is there for her body and soul even she rejected him so many times.

Everyone has problems in this drama, but it’s how they cope with the situation that makes it especially unique. The goodwill is all around and let us know that there is light at the end of every tunnel. That’s what I love about this one.

Joon has been the man with a plan. Every time a situation comes up, he finds a solution. Even though Mom is about to find him, even if she has him kidnapped and brought home by force to his horrible father, I know he'll figure something out. Even if he has to entrust Ra-ra to Grandpa for awhile, he'll find a way to be with her again soon.

Creepy stalker guy bothers me much more than Joon's parents and the thugs. I wish he'd fond his way into some other drama. And leave our piano prodigy alone!

I am also relieved that we got rid of the "love triangle" and RaRa rejecting Dr Cha's confession swiftly and effectively. Now off to just the tiniest bit of angst and separation (chaebal!) and a small time jump, so we can all go back to enjoy their romance fully.
I love Jun's confidence in the confession scene. He is a thoughtful man with a plan, indeed.

V=IR ==> I=8V/4ohms ==> I=2A

A in music = La

2*La = Lala

Joon is a nerd :p

Dear @missvictrix, you put your thoughts together so beautifully that I decided to log-in just to say thank you so much for loving this show. This drama is my happy pill, too! And reading your comments made me love and appreciate Do Do Sol Sol even more. Again, thank you so much!

@missvictrix, thanks for this wonderfully written and observed recap! You capture everything so well.

This drama is love and kindness can heal. It continues to be my happy pill. Lala is my fav romcom girl this year, together with Go Sera of Into the Ring. I also wonder where Joon gets his brain and heart with such terrible parents.

Two more days....

Thank you as always @missvictrix!

I have said this again and again that this show is my happy pill rn. I'm even loving the TWD even if their appearance doesn't make sense sometimes. How cute was that scene when they were cooking and Lala was playing the piano?

And well now I kinda understand why Jun doesn't wanna go home. With the kind of parents he has. Is he adopted? Why is the apple so far from the tree?

Anyway, our OTP is now official and it was such a cute confession. Nothing grand, not angsty. Just them being them on a cable car.

Looking forward for the next episodes. 💗

I love this show, I love the chemistry and the dynamic between all the characters (except creepy stalker and jun's parents, how did he become such an angel with parents like that ? -_-).
But I hope we'll see more characters development from Ra Ra, the confession was cute but Ra Ra remains the "receiver" in the relationship for me and Jun is always the "giver", "caretaker" ...

I am afraid of how how Jun's Mom will react to Ra Ra, she was already condescendant because Ra Ra is peniless and to the kind Grandpa, but she is really going to explode if she learns that Jun is crazy in love with Ra Ra ...

Please show get rid of the Creepy Stalker/photograph/student of Ra Ra

Great recap! Yes, the show is a happy pill for me too. I love how the show is going so far and the confession was nicely done by our Joon. I fear that there would be a time-jump at the end considering Joon's age. If that happens, I hope it is beautifully done.

It is so good to see how Lala handled Dr's confession. To often we see women of innocence and purity to kind to clearly speak their hearts and then suffer the consequences. I was thrilled too see that innocence does not equal stupidity in this one!

Everything that warming my hear in this drama just makes me cry.

That epilogue though!
Why Joon best friend not wearing school uniform while Joon does?
Rara seems not remember Joon but Joon remember her, that's why he's stunned when saw Rara in wedding dress.
Could be that Joon best friend always likes Rara so Joon knows a loot about Rara and makes him fall in love with her even way before they met in the wedding day
