I FINALLY got to start watching Doojoon’s new show! “Never give up” took me the entire two episodes to get on board, but there’s a shifty rich old lady with an off limits basement and a ragtag group of people living in her house for either free or reduced housing. I laughed so hard during one scene that my daughter called me from her bedroom to make sure I was ok —post-Covid and all. Poor Jung Suk having his friend and business partner double cross him, leaving him homeless and Pil-solo’s chicken shop franchise not taking off is making me root for this unlikely bromance. And Doojoon is as affable as ever, but thinking the plight of a middle aged Asian man wanting to do what’s right for his family and his emotionally distant teenaged son might just be what I need right now. Thanks @blnmom for the heads up that ondemandkorea had it and it’s easy to watch on my Roku! https://www.ondemandkorea.com/never-give-up-e1.html?from_collection_name=Other%20Episode%3ANever%20Give%20Up%20%3A%20E02

    I was worried when Doojoon’s character started commenting on the bad combo of peanut and cheese that he had been typecast really hoping this isn’t the case. The last time I have seen this was the actor with the famous laugh in Fated to love you who was randomly laughing throughout every episode as if he got a bonus for every time he did it. It got old really quickly and I was rooting for the second lead consistently hoping it would lead to the main lead disappearing out of the storyline.

      I think it was a meta joke. Also, he plays a lot of soccer, and so that was kind of a nod to that as well.

    I watched the first and it seems right up my alley.
