Nice. Thank you missvictrix, for your recap. You make it sound like a lovely full romance.

I love Hwi Oh and Min Kyung. They just complement each other so perfectly. I love that they just accept each other for who they are. Plus MK is opening up more and getting more courage with the help of Hwi Oh.

And I love that the ladies of the Women's Association got MK's back as well. I can't wait to see what antics they are up to while all dolled up.

Loving this show! The writing is superb to come with such unique characters. In addition to Hwi Oh & Min Kyung, I'd love to mention about Samantha (Sang Yeop) and Su Hyun (Deborah) interaction since the skincare shop, bar, supermarket, then the busking place. Even Deborah said it's better to pretend "not knowing", her "knowing" finally cleared the Woman Association's understanding toward Min Kyung. I just love episode 9 when Min Kyung has more people on her side to trust her and support her. And scene when they imitated Leon and Mathilda got me... :D.

This is one Amazing of a show. With good writing, acting, character and story developments.
Everyone is so good written.
Amd hijinks, cross dressings, communication between different characters makes it so fun to watch and makes laugh alot. 😂
More power to whole cast and writer nim and director nim!

I utterly love this show. The writing is great - going from funny to heartbreaking and back again - and the leads are killing it. At some moments the electricity between them is so strong you can almost touch it.

And then there are the hilarious little touches. For example, she's got him stored in her phone as 'Dog' and he's got her stored as 'Dog Owner'. Well, he's got that right.

I really look forward to the episodes each week. I was not expecting to like this one as much as I do. The characters are complex, and the show loves to play with it’s tone, luring you in with something funny only to crush you shortly thereafter.

This drama is both hilarious and deep - it's amazing how consistently they are pulling off that balance. Aside from the much-photographed agreement handshake (his face! I was in stitches!), I also loved the scene at her door where she tells him she walks the dog every day at 4pm. And then just looks at him. Repeats it. And then suddenly: Ding! the bell goes off in his head. I was laughing so hard - so well played by Jung Woo. 🤣

But probably my favorite thing about this drama is that it reminds me that we make snap judgements about people all the time based on very little knowledge of them. I couldn't stand Min-kyung in the first two episodes - in fact, that's why I stopped watching. Over the course of half an episode I went from incandescent about Min-kyung's mother to grudgingly putting her on probation. In ep 9, I was furious and condemning of the Women's Association - now only to be practically on my feet in anticipation of ep 10. It's humbling - if I keep doing this in a drama, imagine the judgements I'm making in real life, too. So perhaps the question it makes me ask myself is, How can I be a bit more kind and show a bit more grace to people? After all, don't I need some of that from others, too?

This drama is so good! I'm impressed with how sensitively it is handling the characters and how wonderfully it is building the relationship between Hwi-oh and Min-kyung. A handshake has been the sole skinship yet there is so much chemistry, so much intimacy and vulnerability between the characters.

I went from hating to loving Min-kyung as the layers were peeled away, and we learned what happened to her in the past. Hwi-oh is flawed, but he is such a great male lead: Supportive and accepting. I also like how Samantha and the part-timer have been weaved into the story. It cracks me up when the part-timer shows up at yet another job.

Some of my favorite moments this week: Hwi-oh buying Min-kyung the rose-colored glasses, Hwi-oh's conversation with Min-kyung's mom, the 4 p.m. dates, Hwi-oh running when he heard the whistle, the handshake with photographic evidence, Hwi-oh letting the Women's Association have it. Okay, basically I loved everything.

3 eps in and im enjoying learning the back story of our main couple. one thing i hate in dramas when there is a cheating spouse, the spouse never gets blamed, even when it is clear the girl didnt know anything and she suffers the repercussions of the guy being a horrible person.

This drama is so oddly endearing. I'm glad the yelling stopped. Also I cackled at the ahjumma squad in full Kentucky Derby gear ready to take on that awful woman.

i also really like how the drama enforces that these are all real people and they shouldn't be ashamed. Also i am pleased that our ML does not mis gender "samantha" when dressed as a woman. you get the other characters still saying "him" when in the other persona. I am glad that k dramas are becoming more sensitive and less stereotypical.

Other beanies have touched on so many of the things I love about this drama, I will skip over those and just say that Jung Woo has such an expressive face, his expressions really add a lot of depth and nuance to every scene.

I am always waiting for the next episode, and I'll be sad when this drama is over. The bite-size episodes are just right for my busy life, and because the show is so well-written and well-acted, I never feel like I am wasting my time.

I guess I will add one more thing -- it was horrifying how easy it was for that nasty woman to have Min-kyung humiliated and ostracized, and it seems like this is meant to be a reflection of reality in Korea. How often does one person, like Hwi-oh, have the guts to take a stand and call out the lie? How often do well-meaning people, like our trio of ladies, get caught up in what they think they know and pass judgment accordingly? I wish that message would hit home, and I'm glad to see the ladies turn the situation around.

Thank you, missvictrix! Your review really captured how wonderful this drama is and all the nuances that would otherwise get lost in a plain old recap. The drama hits me in the feels every episode. The episodes are short, but you can feel the characters growing and changing without any sort of rush.

After Vincenzo, this is for sure my 2nd favorite show of the year. I really love it. The pacing is good, the build up is good, casting is good... it's all just so good! I can't wait to see what the last four episodes have in store for us.

Aw... four left. Only four to go... that actually makes me sad. I am loving this little series so much. Sigh.

A few years back, Oh Yeon-Seo and Kim Ji-Hoon were in a drama together and a Korean magazine did a photo shoot of the two. I wanted to share a link that shows some of those photos from that magazine because the photos are really stunning and Oh Yeon-Seo looks beautiful. (Well, so does Kim Ji-Hoon for that matter) http://couch-kimchi.com/2014/04/26/singles-may-2014-issue-teems-with-kim-ji-hoon-oh-yeon-seos-hot-love-affair/

I love the part where they both agreed that OTHER people are the crazy ones and they are normal.

Thank you missvictrix for your wonderful recap. Excellent drama and flawless acting. I hope this little gem is recognized on all fronts.

I love this show so much, I wake up like at 5am in the morning CTD, so I can catch the new episode on Netflix. I binge watch twice each episode, picking up on all the nuance. The last time I've rewatched the episodes as the show airs was It's Ok To Not Be Ok (well, except crazy mom scenes.)

The only downside of this drama - it's only 13 episodes! Why, drama gods, whyyyy?!

I didn’t really know what to make of this drama because loud and nosy characters in kdramas can usually be off putting to say the least, but wow! this drama is such a gem, that I’ve never wanted the episodes to be longer so desperately. The writer has organically developed Hwi young and Min kyung’s relationship and I can see them turning romantic as I watch each episode. Whilst I came for the zany comedy and short episodes, this drama ended up being so heartfelt and wholesome with fun supporting characters and side stories to boot. Probably the best kakao tv drama thus far.

Totally agreeing with the commenters here on this drama - really a wonderful surprise. The only reason I bothered giving it a shot was because the premise sounded interesting and because of the male lead from Reply 1988 (don't know his name - still making my way around Kdramas). I found myself seriously vested in both leads and that doesn't happen all that often for me, and I credit the writing and acting for that. The dramatic turn starting in ep 9 hit hard and felt real - no noble idiocy at play here. The one possible weak link I'm waiting to see wrapped up is with the drug dealer thread. This drama really doesn't need that (from what I've seen thus far), and I'm hoping it doesn't create an unnecessary rescue scenario because these two broken characters healing each other would be all the heroic I need for this to be a home run.

What a quirky series. The characters were wonderful and complemented each other.
