Impossible Wedding:

I guess I must really like this show given my incessant commenting on the recap thread! I have missed the good old jerk-chaebol male lead, who falls for the girl first and gets a good growth arc.

It is fun watching them be enemies, bicker yet totally have fun when drunk.
I want her to smack him a few more times though.

You push me

            Did they show tho how grandpa got out of the back and into the front seat when they approached the car? Tho I suppose the too-drunk-to-notice defense still applies.

            Here is what I think happened. They saw the ‘taxi’ went straight to the back door and tried getting in.
            Grandpa quickly got out from the other side in frustration.
            While they made themselves comfortable in the back seat, grandpa went around the car and came to the front and sat down.
            Neither of them saw the driver or grandfather.

            Grandfather’s expression throughout their chatter was hilarious.

    “good old jerk-chaebol male lead, who falls for the girl first and gets a good growth arc” …. I think I am experiencing this right now with a certain chaebol in a sparkly tracksuit 🤭. Oh, but how his eyes speak, especially when he looks at her 😍. They are shinier than his tracksuits 😂.

Queen of Divorce:
It must be a tough job being a ‘villain’ Chaebol. Not only do you have to perform Chaebol duties like taking care of business, expanding them, dealing with controlling chaebol mothers, you also have to perform villain duties like murder, abusing women, cheating on your wife, going after people who work against you, visiting bars, casinos etc. That is not enough. Now you have to constantly clean up so there is no evidence against you. How do they even keep track of all their illegal activities and progress on clean ups?
I can’t even keep track of what groceries are there at home and what I need to buy!! I will make a terrible chaebol.

Ready, Set, Love (Thai) Ep 1 and 2 – First Impressions

Availability – Netflix US

Easy, fun romcom… I liked the premise and I think its fun! A premise where there are only 400 odd men left in the world (aka Thailand.. lol)! (not really a spoiler). The leads meet-cute in toilet was hilarious, because she is from the outside world (with only women) and never seen a urinal.. lol.. Urinals are shown as planter boxes in real world..
Screen-Recording2024-02-20at5-16-30-PM-ezgif-com-video-to-gif-converter

The whole reality show to match up women with the few men is so wacky.. The games are silly but not boring.

    I love that you’re doing a mini first impressions on it – would love to see your thoughts throughout the series too/or a mini review at the end!! And also haha BLUE LIKES BLUE – believe it or not I did think of you when I googled the actor and found out his nickname was Blue.

    Highkey the show reminded me of like a campy rom-com Hunger Games 😂 AND the dance bit – your second GIF – had me equal parts laughing hard whilst also feeling the second hand embarrassment 😂

      I like that the show is embracing it’s silliness. That dance was so ridiculous I was laughing. He even did a countdown!! Lol.

        Yeah me too! I watched most of it it on a long commute and it was a really fun way to pass the time because I didn’t need to turn my brain on, could just enjoy.

        And yes to the actors picking name thing – even Barcode?! I saw a tiktok once on a list of thai actor/actresses english names, and I had to google search Barcode because I was like ain’t no way…

Dr. Slump: PSH Is killing it!! Absolutely loving her in this role. I totally believe her character is depressed and struggling… What a fantastic episode! Did not expect this for an Ep 8 end!

16
2

    So… I have no watched those 2 episodes yet (but social media feed has already spoiled the ending of ep 8 for me) and I’d like to say: It didn’t come completely unexpected to me. I’m sure there are more aspects of ep 7 and 8 that might reveal some progression in her mood, but Haneul has been keeping herself busy with the trial for and trying to figure out what her feelings for Jeongwoo were up until… well definitely until ep6. I’ve seen on social media that the trial has been resolved.

    So, I’m sort of thinking that in good Haneul’s form, she’s been focusing on other things to mask her own needs again. And now that those smoke fires are resolved, she’s left with her initial needs and unresolved mental health problems… and it hurts even more because Jeongwoo could sort out his situation but she couldn’t (because she’s been ignoring her situation) and she feels even more like a failure. (something that I thought Jeongwoo would feel too, given the glimpses we got of his family and fake friends not caring about him throughout his life).

    Anyway, I probably should watch the last 2 episodes before commenting!

Doctor Slump Ep 7:
Wut?!! Did they just wrap up the whole Macau mystery! Are we free from this henceforth?
I am still suspicious of that friend.
Also, I don’t know why they cast Yoon Park for this role if he is only going to get 4 minutes an episode. And who cast this second female lead? She really brings down the drama. Both character and actor. She had zero chemistry with Yoon Park. She jumps to conclusions all the time. Why did the writers put in so little thought for second leads when clearly they knew how to write romance for main leads??

5

    I feel like there is more to the story and suspect that hyung still had something to do with it. Maybe he was the one who suggested to the mafia guy to send his niece to Jung Woo and frame him. He looked like he was worried/guilty about something when the police came into the courtroom. He closes his eyes for a long time like he was bracing himself for something like expecting to get arrested. Maybe his backstory will come out.

    Hopefully the falling out with DaeYoung was one-sided and these two will meet and the bromance can begin. It seems like Jung Woo was going to take the call if that mom hadn’t interfered and now Jung Woo may feel guilty and reach out.

    Agree the 2nd FL is hard to like and I hope she has a character growth arc.

    I am happy they are done with the case. It was plain boring with the repeated scenes of TV reporting. We can move on to OTP healing and bromance/friendship of Ha Neul/Jung Woo/Dae Young. They have 9 more episodes to do everyone good and make viewers happy.

    I suspect there won’t be one, but they’ve done such a great job with the romance so far that I’m guessing it won’t be as disappointing as it might be in another drama. Maybe we’ll be surprised!

      I’ll take the chemistry any day. If they are married, I’ll expect a kiss and the whole 9 yards, but I’m dreaming here. LOL
      This show wasn’t marketed as a romance, but the romance is stronger than typical rom-coms.

      1

        Yeah. I got in to the show expecting action and comedy, and eventually a lot of palace politics. So I am pleasantly surprised with the romance that sneaked in and turned out to be absolutely fantastic. It’s been a joy watching them. So yeah, I will be happy if they just hold hands and walk together freely.

        No one loves like Park Su Ho! What a precious boy he is!!

Queen of Divorce : \’Not\’ SML syndrome

Disclaimer: I probably am not making sense.

I won\’t call it a second lead syndrome, but I am strangely fascinated by this dude here. Partially due to the fan fiction I am writing in my head.
The drama did a bad job writing him. There is so much potential. Even with this writing, this dude is bringing some delicious second lead angst to the show.
Did he have to be the murderer – nope.
Did he have to try and strangle his ex-wife – NOPE.

But, then you see him flipping and telling his staff to release her by morning, you can tell he loves her in his own convulated way.

This can\’t be the face of the man who tried to kill his ex-wife a few hours back right? He literally lost his cool when he heard the fire truck and saw smoke. He rushed to the scene. Only to see this..

Screen-Recording2024-02-15at7-55-53-PM-ezgif-com-video-to-gif-converter

He could have been a messed up chaebol son with mommy issues… but, they made him a dumb murderer..

Screen-Recording2024-02-15at7-49-13-PM-ezgif-com-video-to-gif-converter

Did I hear his heart break???
Screen-Recording2024-02-15at7-46-56-PM-ezgif-com-video-to-gif-converter

p.s. It must be those tailored suits right?? Or was it the abs in Ep 1?

    I agree with you Blue and feel his character has been ripped off. This would of been a great show if this character had been written well. He can clearly act, looks good but sadly his plot line is so repetitive and cliche the poor guy just keeps going in circles. I wish we would get some kind of back story of their (FL) relationship as I really can’t understand why they are together in the first place (before she found out she was pregnant) and how the ML was involved.
    I feel like dropping this but love the ML, he is so heartwarming.

    3
    1

      Ep 6 was the right time to show us the backstory. It seems like all three were from the same law school and he (chaebol) fell for our spunky FL. Their love triangle started in college. but yeah, we also need to know how she ended up with him. Why is the show denying us this??
      Clearly, she did know him and gets him. And we see the tension every time they meet.

      It’s just a poorly written show. I didn’t like the kiss either, as she was clearly doing it for a reason.

      3
      1

        I didn’t like the kiss either, she was exploiting him in that moment and on top of that she knows he really likes her, he does so many little things for her, so to do that was cruel.

        2
        0

    So … when are we getting to read that fan fiction. 😊
    I think the problem is that the SML role is something that Kang Ki-young would ordinarily do and kill it … just like Oh Min Suk is doing right now. His acting is above the writing and is making him shine. I’m low-key antsy that he’s doing what KKY has been doing his entire career … be the best part of a drama. 😂

    and also such a glorious dead fish expression kiss… Not a single cell was passionate about it, so the only possible explanation is she went it right after eating a bag of raw garlic and didn’t brush her teeth. (and frankly, I feel you, Ki-joon, but you can gift her a bunch of Colgate tubes arranged like a rose bouquet.)

        Honestly, it put me off so bad that I can’t bring myself to watch it anymore. It was wrong on all counts, and on top of it, they both looked so uninterested and put off that it bottomline looked painful. Those closed eyes were no of passion, but of prayer – is it over yet?

        1
        1

          Thankfully, the next episode showed that it was never designed to be a kiss, so I take back what I said. This was not a dead fish kiss, there was never a kiss in the first place. (Kim Sa-ra, this once, I forgive you)

    I know what you mean. The ex-husband’s character has the most charisma in the whole show–even more than the adorably cute ML. However, he’s such a dangerously portrayed and written character–a charismatic narcissist. His love for FL seems based more on his power over her–whenever she is with him, he can dominate and abuse her and he “loves her” only when he can’t have her. We have yet to see a scene (unless it was in this week’s shows I haven’t watched because I dropped the show) where she is happy with him. The attractive narcissist’s appeal is strong, and here, the writers are playing with it a show that is neither a psychological exploration of that dynamic and how to break free (which I could have maybe watched) or a full-on comedy. What was awful was that every time the FL is with the ex, the dynamic always became him being sinister and controlling and her being small and belittled instead of the supposedly kickass person she became after she left him. The show does a very dangerous thing of romanticizing this abusive dynamic (but he loves her!). The drama casted this ex both very well and very poorly because of his charisma.

    2
    1

      As the episodes progressed the show wasn’t sure what to do with his character.
      Like you said they are not exploring this at all. Even after he tried to kill her she is like ‘ok fine. I won’t go to cops since there was no evidence. Because staying at crime scene when the fire truck and medical help came would have helped instead they flee’. And given how flat everyone else is, I am naturally enjoying his scenes more even though it’s messed up.
      Thanks for clarifying this. The narcissist charisma.

        I struggle with the overall logic of the show… This is ultimately poorly written altogether, everyone feels a little bit off all the time.

        He is adorable. I love both his character and actor. There is something earnest and endearing about him. I like it when a ML falls first. And the way he reached a point of no return was done well. The actor captured the stages of his infatuation, admiration and love very well. And just like that he had accepted what she means to him, he is openly saying he wants to protect her and enjoys every interaction with her. And then he sends the loveliest snacks for her to eat. And sneaks in a flower!! 😍😍😍
