    I missed this because I was in the middle of a slump. @saya loves NIF! *blows kisses*
    Don’t let the 54 episodes deter you @laica and @festerfaster! I wasn’t as disciplined as Saya. *cough* It took me a few episodes to get used to the storytelling style and the bombardment of character introductions, so I took a break after episode 12. But after episode 18 I couldn’t stop and marathoned it over a weekend.
    By the way, I finished NIF2. It was entertaining but more of a straightforward story, not the mind-blowing experience that was NIF.

      Thank you for listening! It was actually @festerfaster trying to get the two of us to watch. Maybe we’ll have a drama slump this summer and get to it then? I definitely want to watch, my list is just so looooong :'(

    *Super* agree with @saya on Radio Romance. I wanted to say it but I felt so guilty criticizing Kim So Hyun Because she’s so young… I mean it wasn’t completely her fault. The writing was off as well. I just didn’t feel the chemistry.

Oh man, this moment between Dong-man and Dad. Oceans of tears.

I love ALL the character relationships in this drama, not just the OTP.

    Right?? After being in rom -com slump for a while, this is basically Christmas! I almost wish they didn’t come out at the same time just so I could have savoured one on it’s own with the other to look forward to when the first one ends #firstworldproblems

Mystery Queen, I love you, but the only way you\’re getting away with that ending is if we get a season two.

(With romance. Because Seol-ok and Wan-seung are obviously soulmates.)

    I won’t even get greedy and ask for a romance. I just need a season two. ALL THESE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. WHAT.

    SAME HERE.

    No need to question it like Bong Hee, I already know I’ve crossed over from love to obsession!!!

    Same. I haven’t seen episode 6, but I think episode 5 found its groove in its romantic, comedic thriller genre mash. I’m all on board now.

      Please watch episode 6 ASAP.

        Just finished it. I just can’t get enough of these two. They are so awkwardly adorable but really smart. I like how we don’t sacrifice one for the other.

    I don’t know who I’m in love with most at this point: writer Kwon Ki Young, director Park Sun Ho, Ji Chang Wook/No Ji Wook, or Nam Ji Hyun/Eun Bong Hee.

Can we collectively agree to finally retire the term \”womance\”? How do you all feel about \”girlship\” instead? (Any other suggestions?)

    Womance does sound weird.
    Girlship is cute. Or maybe sisterhood (or is it too long? Less catchy?)

    Womance is unnecessary. Where did that phrase come from? Is it supposed to be a response to bromance? Which would be interesting because bromance was coined to name the closeness between men that’s similar to female best friends.
    I like gal pals but probably use bestie more irl. Sisterhood always paints a positive picture in my mind. I love the image of women supporting and building each other up.

    @gadis I like sisterhood! But you’re right, it does lack some of the catchiness of bromance.

    @dramalava Yeah, it’s an unfortunate attempt to find a female equivalent to bromance. It’s interesting to think of that origin for bromance when now it’s by far a more popular (and buzzy) dynamic in dramas than great female friendships. You’re right, bestie is more practical, but it’s also not gender-specific, so it doesn’t have the special status that bromance has somehow gained.
