Hurray!!! Thank you for this OT and your thoughts, @saya!

The Ye-cap is here!

YE-LINE ALL THE WAY
Unless Min-ho grows up and proves himself to be worthy for Bo-young's affections (he definitely will have a lot of groveling to do), but for now her feelings are towards Dr. Ye which I don't see turning anytime soon.

Just dropping in here (before going back to read the recap) to say thank you so much for this Saya!!! Keep up the good work!! You'll be rewarded by smiles and cotton candy from all the Ye Liners. 🐥🐥🐥

Saya didn't forget Poetry!

*dodges spoilers on the way to watching ep8*

Thank you so much for doing this, @saya. The fan wall is a great place and I love it dearly, but nothing beats the more structured discussion of a recap/open thread. Plus, you recappers often provide much more insight and perspective than I could ever get by myself. I'm sure I'll be coming back to these threads in the future to reminisce, as I do with all of my favorite show's recaps. Thank you for providing this space for us.

The way Dr. Ye looks at Bo-young in that last screencap heals my soul.

Shin Min-ho, I'm sorry for saying this, but thank you for all your sabotaging attempts this week. You have kindly helped us push our ship onto the sea by showing Bo-young's endless charm to a really appreciative Dr. Ye. Hopefully this will be a much-needed kick in the rear for you to grow up and court her properly. Because a lopsided shipping war is no fun. 😜

Kidding aside, I really love how Dr. Ye started to come out of his shell. Whenever he did nice things to Bo-young, or made some excuses to act upon  his interest to her, or rained us with those sweet half-smiles, or did something unusual like being playful or petty, I couldn't help but grinning widely. But what makes it even better is how self-aware he is. He knew that he is quite out-of-touch with his own emotion, and he totally acknowledged it (and even gave some sound advices to himself, LOL) when he was being petty and revenge-y. And I think, him being aware is already a positive step toward him expressing more of his feelings and building a connection with others.

I really appreciated the focus of this week eps on Yoon-joo and Bo-young's relationship. Rather than close friends, I see them as sisters. They can hurt each other and being petty about it, but they still care so much for the other. It's easy for them to turn from teasing to blowing up at each other, but they are just as quick to make up, and still as close as ever. And I'm glad that compassionate and empathetic Bo-young is there if Yoon-joo wanted to talk about her painful divorce. And likewise, unni is also there for Bo-young if she ever need an awesome wingman to support her through her confusing love story.

YAY, SAYA! Thank you so much for this wee-cap! I've been anxiously awaiting it. What drew me into this drama was the fact that it focussed on the ancillary staff of the hospital, which in my experience seems to be where most of the drama lies. I also loved the poetry angle and knew it would serve as an insightful outlet for our cast show their softer sides. I almost totally wrote off this drama in the second episode though, because all the side characters and even Min-ho were rubbing me the wrong way and I was becoming more than irked with their charades, literally. But it was Dr. Ye who came to the rescue, and I was suddenly "on board" again. That, and very well-timed poetry. The way that the poems are incorporated, written out in the scene, is very beautiful. My favorites were the ones in episode 4 (I believe when they were helping in the rural town, at the end of the episode) and then the one at the end of episode 8 which just aired.

Although I was once on the Ye-liner, I'm getting just menor-vibes from him, or an older uncle with a niece, trying to make her feel better about herself. Which is why I'm sitting on the island of neutrality. Min-ho has the most growing to do, and I do like that type of character too, but he's just too immature for me to want to see him with Bo-young, who is so sweet and very competent at her job. He is a horrible intern/student, but maybe something will click and he'll become a hard-working genius or something to show Bo-young he's worthy of her, because I'm too protective of her right now. His back story with him being the forgotten child (even on his birthday!) was unfortunate enough, and I did feel sorry for him that episode. Oh, and quirky is what this show is. When I let myself give in to the quirkiness, it became much more enjoyable.

Thank you again, Saya!

Thanks for the recap @saya! Team Bo-young!

thank you so much for this @saya this makes my heart happy.

Well dang it all. It's like the universe wants me to watch this drama hahahaha the ship wars are legit though, probably a Ye-liner but that island sounds kinda friendly too. I'm afraid for my own emotional stability coming out of this. Here goes!

Ok I've been waiting for the show to end so I can happily binge this. But the ratings keep dropping every week, now I'm wondering if it's worth watching. Is there anyone currently watching this drama? Is it any good?

It's National Poetry Month in the US, and there is poetry literally littering my building on campus. Bo-young would love it.

I'm usually more of a prose kind of person, but this show, Bo-young, and Dr. Ye are reeling me in with how seamlessly it is integrated into the narrative.

The promise is made! I feel so contemplate since it feels us beanies and all minions are in same boat. We still and will stay here..waiting for our DB to kick more a*s soon, and this OT for dramas that couldn't make it to be recapped (time limited/els) for current (yes), is very win win! I hope another dramas will have this highway too!

Btw, I haven't watched this at all, but I know kimbapNoona & Saya & other's hardwork to put this together! Fighting !

Thank you for this @saya! Forgotten Poets Society now have a hub (aside from the Beanie's wall post, that is). Yeyyy!!!

I'm not expecting this OT coming. Thank you so much @saya. I still on neutral line till now. Although I like dr. Ye so much, I still have feeling for Minho. My drama slumps is cure thanks to this show.

Lee Yu-bi is phenomenal as Bo-young. That little snort when she feels happy, that little crinkle of the nose when she feels mischievous, and oh yes, that now infamous fanning of the hand. All of these little gestures make Crybaby Woo one of the most adorable heroines in Dramaland. I shed so many happy tears because of her empathetic tears, even when her hands are too heavy.

Woo Bo-young represents goodness in the world -Kind, generous, loyal, honest, full of heart. I want her to be my friend. If I have children, I want my daughter to be like her or my son to marry her. For once this impending love triangle makes so much sense for me because Dr. Ye got it right -our girl is an attractive person in anyone’s eyes. Forget oil tycoons, this ajumma has fallen in love with her at least 3 times per episode. I think that’s why this shipping war is so much fun with fellow Beanies, because we all share only one mission, and that is in the end our heroine is loved by someone who is worthy of her.

Yay! Thanks for this OT saya! Like you I've been a Ye liner since day 1(or 2 when he actually showed up properly) but this last eps poem also gave me an ominous feeling-' if you love someone,you can't turn back because you love them"...I think this is applicable to both JW and BY. Though I want to keep faith that this is nothing and just my imagination in overdrive (Boyoung is really rubbing off on me), my brain seems to want to take the logical conclusion and accept that the other ship is more likely to happen. But till then I'll just enjoy the ride. If my brain is right and our ship is wrecked, Dr.ye can just give his advice to us! I would love it. Plus I also volunteer to help him with his sling therapy demonstrations LOL!

darnnnn ittttt I can't join a ship war right now with exams around the cornerrrrrr

Thanks for the wee cap @saya 🙂

I felt that too @saya. After this week's episode I am now wary of upcoming episodes. I really want to the Ye line to sail forever.....

Just watched the recent ep of My Ahjussi (those two kill me) and contemplating putting on the first ep of this. Good to know I might have to decide to stay in it a few eps before I get hooked.
I hate second hand embarrassment in shows and books but love good character growth and slow burns.

I'm not the only one who laughed at @saya 's line weecap right? 😂:

It pushes Min-ho to finally admit to the boys (and himself) that he likes her, though he has yet to repent being such an ass.

Preach 🙌🙌
