I honestly can’t tell if everyone here is genuinely enjoying PMR or if ppl are just shit-watching the makjang unfold LOL For once, I can’t read the room 🤣🫣

    Many, many of us are authentically enjoying the ride. It’s self-aware craziness. It’s not so bad it’s good…it’s just good. Funny, sometimes subversive, fun.

    I’m genuinely enjoying it, especially Lee Mi Sook as the Mother-In-Law. She is awesome… and her wardrobe as well.

      Lee Mi Sook never disappoints, and it is only fitting that such a great actress—and a veteran one, at that— has great outfits to match her energy 👗

      Do not watch*

      I like how quickly the writer breezes through everything.

        😮 And how many episodes in total is the drama slated for? I say “slated” for, but we know that with the live-shoot system of Kdramas, things can change

          Only 12 episodes. Its based on a webtoon so it has a lot of material to work with. I didnt read the webtoon but I read somewhere that said the drama has better pacing than the webtoon.

    Fair question. I’m sincerely enjoying it, just not *quite* as much as everyone else. But it has some genuinely surprising moments and is very much a romance, which are big plusses in my book. I can’t say I devour each episode (I still haven’t finished last week’s final one) but I am entertained and even impressed at the meta-cleverness from time to time. It’s just a fun, silly drama that doesn’t aspire to be anything other than it is.

      Oh, okay!! It doesn’t sound like the typical drama-for-the-sake-of-drama trope-filled sort of makjang that we are all so used to and so used to being tired of, then. I feel like makjangs—especially if they’re weekenders, in which case, I’m not even sure if this one is— usually get a bad rap, but not all are actually bad, but it’s a rare case, and maybe this is the one rare case people are getting once in a blue moon

        Nope, all of the drama so far has been in service of plot advancement and character exposition and not drama-for-the-sake-of-drama, which is pretty darned amazing for something that is truly makjang. The blue moon is shining brightly on this one and it looks *possible* that it will keep up the pace and the fun right to the end.

      That’s how I feel: I’m enjoying it, but I’m not as into it as everyone else seems to be

        And that’s okay! We all have our own preferences. That’s the real beauty of tv, books, and music

    In my case, I’m not enjoying the drama, I find It boring and I don’t like any of the main characters. What I’m enjoying is mocking the drama with the two friends I’m watching it. We have laughed so much! But as I said before, I’m sure I would have dropped it after the first episode, as I did with King The Land, if I had started this on my own.

      I must add that this kind of social experiment my friends and I are doing with this drama (I mean… watching something we don’t like) is new and we won’t repeat the experience. The three of us have a very long list of good dramas to watch… XD

        I totally get it!! I’ve tried once or twice in the past to hate-watch—for lack of a better word— something and to try to make it fun by searching for things to laugh about it, but this is something that I also am just not into doing XD If I am going to watch something, it will be something that I enjoy, and not have to be something of a chore or something that I straight up don’t enjoy
