The 1st week was fun watch of 15 minutes out of 2 hours.
Yoon Eun Hye's voice looked quite different and i can't quite say what's wrong with her face. The guy isn't like the one mentioned in the description of the show and for good Heroine isn't spoiled brat.
Fun time pass if it was only a 15minutes per episode drama.

Thanks @dramallama. I'm glad to see a recap for this show.

As far a 1st episodes go, I didn't really think this one impressed me. It introduced us to the main 2 and a few side characters, and the premise is one that I like, however the look of the show and even how Yoo Jung is dressed and made up, is strangely unflattering. The colour applied to her seems off. Too yellow? And her hairstyle too flat. After seeing so many kdramas where actresses look effortlessly great, it's odd to see a top star actress looking so unattractive. Even her manager looks better than her. I hope that this means the show can't go anywhere in the looks department but up.

Chun Jung Myung is thankfully just fine as Woo Hyun. It will be great to see the couple hijinks of strangers forced to become a couple, especially with a no nonsense character ike Woo Hyun.

I hope that this show is indeed a good comeback work for YEH. I'll be watching at least the first few episodes with fingers crossed!

We watched a different show because this was a absolute mess and ep 2 was no better.

Too much, too many, too everything and not one thing was gelling.

I think I'm gonna be the dissenting voice here but...

Don't get me wrong, this drama is BONKERS and the writing is kind of a hot mess, but somehow I find it kind of...charming?

I think it's the easy relationship between the leads that endeared this to me. The writing is clumsy but the acting is spot on. Like, when there was the mix-up with the cars and she genuinely apologizes and he is not a total d*** about it? Unheard of. I think this stuff gets highlighted more in the second episode. These are two adults who respect each other as adults. I mean, there's also a lot that is cringey and bad and it's riddled with cliches, but the characters are interesting and that kept me watching. I like the president and the journalist and how they are not the usual cliches. I love that they are both just looking out for the female lead's best interests. I'm not gonna be giving this my full attention, but it's certainly not the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm hoping it'll be some nice fluff for the weekends to turn my brain off and watch.

All the flaws made my heart ache for YEH. She deserves better script, better make up, better ... better.. better.
But No matter what, I’ll watch it till the end for my fav girl’s sake.❤️ I owe her because there were many great moments in my Kdrama-watching-life that she made me laugh, cry, fall in love,.. 🥀

They made my girl look like a tired hot mess!!! I’ll still watch it though because of my Eun Chan...

Did I love it? No. Will I continue to watch? Yes. I believe it is mentioned above, but there is a general kindness to the characters that is insanely rare in kdramas. Her apologies are genuine, her compassion is genuine. There is nothing contrived about the characters at all. It is riddled with cliches, but that is okay. This will be a breezy drama and I am A-okay with that.

YEH finally able to delurk me from my Kdrama slump. But after 10 minutes... duh! I am utterly stunned of her choice of script. I think, it is time for her to change her agent. She's been in hot mess dramas for years already! For her, I'll try to stay and watch it. Just like L2M, IMY etc.

Thanks for the recap @dramallama!

Hmm...interesting. with my FF button, this drama may be doable. If i can FF thru devilish joy certainly this one.

I didn't like much the first two episodes. I was a little bored and I found myself reading memes on facebook several times through the episodes. Aldo, the low budget production is a little annoying. I didn't feel the chemistry between the leads yet. I'll give it another week, and then I'll decide.

I like this show. One of its alternative titles could have been “The Man Who Would not be Chaebol”, because his father has now decided that our male lead- his illegitimate son- is the man who must succeed him at the head of his conglomerate as his legitimate son is a complete chowderhead. Woo-hyun on the other hand is an award-winning dermatologist- he is smart, capable and competent and if he wanted to run a corporate conglomerate he undoubtedly would be every bit as good as his dad, maybe even better. Too bad dad neglected Woo-hyun and his mom for thirty years because Woo-hyun is so resentful of his father that he denies him entirely and refuses to play along even though his mom wants him to do it so that he will ascend to his rightful place in the universe.

One of the things that I like about the show is that it uses lots of clichés but handles them differently. For instance, when he meets with his father, President Cha, he fiercely resists both the idea of taking over the company and of marrying Kang Hye-joo, his father’s choice. So far, so cliché. But it is father’s demeanor and approach which completely departs from the usual K-drama tropes. He listens to his son calmly- disagrees with him politely- and never loses his temper. He acknowledges the wrongs done to his son and notes that what he proposes would go a long ways towards making amends. He does not yell, get angry or even threaten- although he does note that his son cannot beat him. When his son stoutly disagrees with him he is actually pleased- for all the son has done is proven that his son is tough enough for the job.

Most drama’s have no clue as to the real motivations of the great entrepreneurs. The best that I have ever seen was from the movie Sabrina- where Linus has been asked why he keeps building new business when he is clearly wealthy enough. “Because I see that some thing could be, and I make it happen. And suddenly men who never had a dime now have a dollar, and children who used to run barefoot now wear shows”. Linus is actually motivated by an artistic urge to create- and by the good he knows he does for people through the act of creation. President Cha no doubt loves Woo-hyun’s brother very much- but what will happen to his ten thousand employees if he passes the business on to him? Disaster. And so he is turning to his illegitimate other son, who could do the job very well. At the same time, he accepts that Woo-hyun’s anger towards him is quite well founded. He did not become wealthy by being a fool. He knows that he deserves his son's anger- but he will not back down because of it- because he is determined not to fail his people.

I don't know... I expected Devilish Joy and OCN romance quality and something easy for watching before I go to sleep.... thus I'm not disappointed, I guess 😂😂
(That doesn't mean I don't wish for a better written show for the main actors...)

As some commenters already mentioned the good parts are the normal conversations between the leads... and it somehow reminds me of That Fool (Accidental Couple)... a show I highly recommend!! 😍

I found the third episode the most enjoyable so far.

Heart to Heart is one of my favourite rom coms, thanks to this male lead, and I'm really liking the totally different, almost subtle way he plays his role in this drama.

I hope the show continues on an upward trajectory.

Given that this show is becoming way more than it first seemed to be I truly hope that we will get more recaps.

After watching episode 5 I am in it for the long haul. I'll check back to see if others are commenting about the show here.

I have now watched five episodes. This show keeps getting better. I loved the hospital scene where we see that Woo-hyun has fallen asleep with his face on the bed next to Yoo Jung- and their hands are just slightly touching. Instead of getting his burn treated he stayed by her all night.

On the other hand the idea that Kang Hye-joo could get her company to cancel Yoo-jungs contracts- and then make Yoo jung pay for it is a serious misrepresentation of the law of contracts- even in Korea. If that one goes to trial it is Ms. Kang's companies that will pay damages- and attorney's fees on top of it. Try explaining that to the Chairman Ms Kang.

It must be a bit of a gamble for DB to decide which shows to re-cap. There was not even a first episode recap of "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" and yet that show was one of the biggest sleeper hits of this year- and had a lot of discussion on DB. This show may turn out the same way- but at least we got one re-cap.

You know what...screw it. I'll comment alone. 😜

I like that Woo Hyun is not backing down from that manipulative biatch Hye Joo. Meanwhile, his mother is despicable. Why would you fake an illness to force your son to marry for a position he doesn't even want?

Well, now we know where the future noble idiocy will come from. Yoo Jung's father saved Woo Hyun from the fire that it seems they both were in together some kind of way.

I have now watched all six episodes currently available. We really could use a Wee-cap of this show. But I at least have some observations.

First – our leads kissed, but Cha Woo Hyun was still under the influence of anesthesia – or was he really? At the end of the episode Yoon Yo-Jung finally gets her answer (in vino veritas) – Woo Hyun firmly stating that he could not kiss someone he had no feelings for. Its not quite a confession, but it is an admission that he has real feelings towards her. And he also notes that their relationship is no longer entirely fake.

Second- If Woo-hyun’s mother is awful his half-brother’s mother is at least as bad, maybe worse. You can argue that both mothers are championing their sons. Both are really acting for themselves- Woo-hyun’s mom from greed and Mrs. Cha, Se Hyeon’s mom, from pride. Both are delusional- Woo-Hyun’s mom because she believes that she can force her son to do her bidding. But Se Hyeon’s mom is even more delusional, because at this point there is no way that Se Hyeons can take his father’s place- the stockholders will simply not permit it, and no director will vote to forward his nomination to the stockholders. As Chairman Cha points out to her it was already a dubious proposition given Cha Se Hyeon’s womanizing, gambling, drunk driving and drug charges. But now Se Hyeon is being investigated for stock manipulation and fraud. Any director voting for him would probably face legal liability. And Mrs. Cha grew up in a Chaebol family- she should know these things. Her refusal to face these objective facts is almost terrifying- this is a lady who has lost touch with reality.

Chairman Cha gets upset when he finds out that Woo-hyun was stabbed. But this not because he cares about him, but because someone messed with his possession. Neither of them was ever really a part of the other’s life so he cannot have a normal father’s feelings towards his son. I would feel sorry for Chairman Cha except that his situation is of his own making- He married to advance his business and, apparently, had almost as little to do with Se Hyeon as he did with Woo-hyun. However, it appears that he is now about to seize Yoo Jung’s company in order to extort compliance from Woo-hyun- so I will not feel too sorry for him.

Strangely, I look forward to this drama the most each week. It's also looking aesthetically better as the episodes go on. I hope it keeps improving.

The 'let's figure out how you feel by making you jealous' scenes were funny, but served to reveal THAT about the FL's bestie that we'd avoided so far. Sigh.

I'm also curious as to whether/when the half brother will arrive and what he'll bring to the mix. He's certainly taking up a whole lot of the drama for a character we've never seen, or is he presently incarcerated?

Episode 7 had some wonderful moments as Woo-Hyun and Yoo-jung come to see that they are a real couple who love being together. Woo-hyun learns that his mom has been faking her illness – and disowns her, but Yoo-jung talks him into forgiving her. They have done some very significant couple things- she has even taken him to see her mother’s grave.

But, of course, there is trouble in paradise. Kang Hye-Joo has put her cards on the table with Han Jae-kyun, the President of Yoo-jung’s company: As long as Yoo-jung is with Woo-hyun, they will be in trouble from Kang Industries. At least Jae-kyun now knows that Woo-hyun is more than he seems to be- and now also realizes that she has now made a deal with his father’s conglomerate. She makes a business decision to publicly end the “Milk” couple’s relationship. It would have been good to inform them of this before they got to read about it on a billboard. So, I am now waiting for the subtitles to episode 8 to see what happens next.

BTS from the Hospital Kiss posted on s**mpi. And yes, it was as awkward as it looks. Yoon Yoo Jung actually massages Chun Jung-Myung's neck in the second clip:

I will sure to do so- I am just waiting for the subtitles to be completed on Viki.

I watched Episode 8 when it was only 93% subtitled. It reveals a lot about many of the characters in this story. There are many dramas where we see an idiotic noble separation. I would suggest that the separation that Woo-hyun attempts here is noble but not idiotic given the situation with Woo-hyuns family. It is actually very rational that he should try to do this. Of course, he really can’t quite bring himself to really separate- because Yoo-jung and he are now truly attached to each other.

It has probably occurred to nearly everyone by now that it might have made sense for Kang Hye-Joo to marry Cha Se-hyeon instead of Cha Woo-hyun (BTW- notice his family name- whatever else his father did not do for him our main lead is in fact registered as being a member of the Cha family). If she were to marry Se-hyeon that would mean that Chairman Cha would in effect be agreeing to Ms. Kang taking his place- and he cannot trust her (and shouldn’t). Also, Ms. Kang is not stupid- a husband like Se-hyeon has too much baggage – he would be a serious drag on her ambitions.

There is a further wrinkle to this story- one that makes Ko Kyung-eun’s plans even more difficult: We finally get to hear from Woo-hyun's half brother Se-hyeon himself as he talks to his mother. It turns out that he has no more interest in running Choego Group than his half brother does. Earlier in the episode we heard Ms. Kang talk about Chairman Cha’s brothers- who might oppose Hyun-woo taking over (hence he would need the Kang Industries Biotech company as leverage- or, more accurately, Ms. Kang would, as she clearly wants to be the one running things). They would certainly oppose Se-hyeon and would be successful given the things he has done- which is probably why he did them, as a very successful form of rebellion. No wonder Chairman Cha wants Woo-Hyun. It turns out that even Se-hyeon wants Woo-hyun to take over. This eliminates Se-hyeon as the stalker/attacker.

It interesting to hear Ko Kyung-eun say that the real battle was between herself and her husband, Chairman Cha.

And, finally, the cliff-hanger at the end. Yoo-jung is finally going to get to hear about Woo-hyun’s father and, presumably, the plan to marry him off to Ms. Kang. But now I have to wait six days for the next episode.

Re-watching Ep 4 - Random thoughts...

WH thought that his Chaebol father had engineered his murder and attempted to cover it up with a fire. In a previous episode, Yoo Jung had said they would surely have met before.

Conjecture then - In the fire that Yoo Jung lost her mother, Woo Hyun had also been present. YJ's father, being a fireman had come to rescue, but he had saved Woo Hyun instead. Maybe not knowing that in the same fire was his wife and daughter. From that day, her father wracked by guilt allowed his daughter to blame him for years without talking it out. He 'lost' a daugther but gained a son in Woo Hyun.

Episode 9 was interesting but also frustrating. At the beginning of this episode we see that Woo-hyun has managed to keep his paternity a secret from Yoo-jung. This is not just a sour note to me but is inconsistent with the characters of our main leads who have respected and trusted each other until now. It is a jarring note- by not telling her what she is actually up against Woo-hyun is showing her great disrespect. He is kidding himself if he thinks that he is somehow protecting her by doing this. And time has run out for this- the families are about to announce his engagement to Kang Hye-Joo- and he has been informed of this by Ms. Kang. Is he so blind as to not understand that the entire country is about to find out who his father is?

The warning that Ko Kyung-eun gave to Kang Hye-Joo was phrased as a question: “Have you ever thought what it would be like to live your whole life with a man whose heart belongs to some other woman?” Ko Kyung-eun assures her that it is the worst. This was not a threat- it is simply the truth. Of course she then follows that up with an implied threat to exposed her mother’s past (Ms. Kang’s mother was “in adult entertainment”). And Ms. Kang should heed that threat- because Kyung-eun is just as much like Captain Ahab is she is: Obsessed with the idea that somehow her son can still succeed his father, even though Se Hyeon has already made that impossible. She does not realize that she has already been defeated not by Ms. Kang or Woo-hyun, but by her own son Se Hyeon.

What was really fun was watching Chairman Cha explain that Ms. Kang will have to deal with Kyung-eun on her own- he cannot interfere. Further, if she joins his family then she will be in that fight for the rest of her life. If she is unable to fight she will not survive in his family.

Okay, episode 7 again confirmed that this show is at its most enjoyable when the OTP share the screen. I loved everything about their beach outing, from the preparation—her packing, his shopping—to their activities. The bit about size 44 was hilarious! And then she went and said one of my least favourite Kdrama phrases: ‘tell me tomorrow’. Gah!

I've been wondering why Seong Hoon decided to potentially sabotage his years of friendship by confessing at this stage, although how he planned to eventually dig himself out of that mess is still a mystery. I think he's been sure all along that Yoo Joon wasn't completely invested in her previous relationships. Woo-hyun is clearly the real deal and SH now needs to put his stake in the ground. Ten years, too late. I shook my head when he spouted that stuff about YJ gaining a lifelong bestie/boyfriend.

@oldawyer The whole grounding and confiscation of YJ’s devices had me gritting my teeth. I tried really hard to see things from the CEO’s perspective, but she needs to get other clients instead of locking down her ‘cash cow’. Especially since YJ is actually a shareholder in the company. YJ’s responding by swinging from starvation to binge-eating was amusing. I loved how she caved in once she knew WY had supplied the feast on the table.

That detective-fanboy was so cute.

Episode 10 was marred by the departure of the supporting actor who played Yoo-jung’s little brother- and this meant adding a lot of flashbacks. But at the same time those flashbacks did help us understand why Woo-Hyun has finally decided to abandon his passive life – where he essentially hid out from the world in his medical practice- and is now going to fight for the woman he loves. I am actually looking forward to the final six episodes.

Kang Hye-joo is an important secondary character- and a true antagonist. She is not even the primary antagonist- that distinction may belong to Chairman Cha and perhaps earlier the Chairman's wife Ko Kyung-eun. At least her desperation is understandable. It is the Chairman's wife who is completely off the charts psycho: Completely unable to see that her own son, and not the people she is at war with, has already rendered her cause hopeless.

I love this show because it is departing from many of the normal tropes for kdrama and is handing us a story that has some Shakespearean elements- like characters who are falling victim to their own character flaws- including Kang Hye-joo- whose flaws we now understand. The good news for her is that she will fail- and, although she will not understand it at that time, this will actually be a happy ending for her and, just possibly, free her from many of her bad ideas.

Kang Hye-joo is not a second lead. There is no second female lead in Fluttering alert- and not a real second male lead either, just a guy who would like to be but is really another antagonist (and now the only suspect for stalker/attacker). Part of the reason this show can be different is that it draws its story from a Web novel- "Seolremjoouibo" by Seo Han-Kyeol, published from December 5, 2016 to March 24, 2017 via shiftbooks.yes24.com. Perhaps staying true to the novel means we can have a rom-com with no second leads.

Episode 11 had too much time with PO, who plays the little brother, seeming to need to tell everyone in the world that he is leaving. His clumsy attempt to reconcile his father and sister was simply awkward. Way too much time was spent trying to fill the void left behind when the secondary romance got ripped out of the story. Finally we had some drama at the end when Kang Hye-Joo and Yoo -jung face each other- in wedding dresses. Kang Hye-Joo simply cannot resist lying to our lady about who picked her dress- and then trying to start a catfight- and then Woo-hyun gets punched out by Yoo-jung's jealous 'friend'- who then pulls her out of the building where she was scheduled to do a shoot. Apparently half of our characters now have to go totally psychotic? I hate seeing this show so damaged by the departure of a relatively minor character. I can only guess that the writers were simply creatively up to the task of filling that gap.

For instance- Ko Kyung-eun has dug into Kang Hye-Joo's background- and found seriously damaging dirt. Real blockbuster stuff. Why has she not provided this material to Woo-hyun by now?

Thoughts on Episode 12-
There was still too much wasted screen time. I understand that the writers are in a different position when doing an adaptation of a web novel- and then have a portion of that story torn away. But they do appear to have made some adjustments.
First, Kang Hye-joo, a beautiful, smart and intelligent woman, is now running in full Shakespearean tragedy mode. Nothing demonstrates the blindness of her ambition better than the wedding dress which she has chosen- it is all wrong for her- but she blames the seamstress for this rather than acknowledging that she was way too casual in picking it. If she really cared about how she would look- especially to the groom- she would have gotten advice and taken care to pick one that suited her body and face. In the right dress Kang Hye-joo would be absolutely stunning. But instead she treated the dress was just another detail on the punchcard of her project, which just happens to include a wedding.

Second, Kang Hye-joo, again like King Lear or some other Shakespearean figure has made a massive blunder: She went behind Chairman Cha’s back and persuaded (bullied) the Chairman’s investment director to pull Choego group’s investment in Yoo-jung’s company. This she did in a fit of pique after the encounter at the dress shop. Chairman Cha had promised her 2 things: First, that he would deliver his son for the wedding. Second, that he would control Yoo-jung. How was he going to do that second thing? Through that investment, of course. That was the leash on our sweet little puppy of a girl. Yank the investment and what do you have? That sweet puppy has just been turned into a cornered she-wolf and that is not a step towards achieving your goals Ms. Kang. Even worse, now people are thinking that she may have been behind the stabbing of President Han. She is not, but given her actions who could blame them?

Ms. Kang has simply lost it. She sees Yoo-jung as her main enemy when that is really Ko Kyung-eun. And that is her biggest blunder.

But I have to ask if there has not also been a change to the back story. We have been told that Woo-hyun thinks that his father tried to do him in. Which never made any sense, because Chairman Cha would have valued having him as a ‘spare” heir (and now actually needs him to fill those shoes). Then perhaps is was Ko Kyung-eun, Mrs. Cha, who tried to have him bumped off. But the flashback makes it clear that the fire was an accident- caused by Woo-hyun himself, when he threw burning paper into a trash can which had something highly flammable in it. True, Ko Kyung-eun then proceeded to rescue her son while leaving him to die but that was a spur of the moment decision, not a pre-planned action.

It would make sense to alter the back story in order to get our main story back on track, if that is what is need to remove the places where little brother was a part of future plot devices. Just a hypothesis.

This story has finally gotten back on track, still a little rough around the edges, but now moving forward to the final challenges for our couple. And the rings are back on their fingers. In this episode we see that much has been revealed- and much has changed:

Kang Hye-joo’s plans have backfired, just as I expected- and Chairman Cha has cancelled the wedding with her father’s consent. Her daddy has also cancelled her big promotion. She is still pursuing Woo-hyun who has become the object of her obsession. She is now about to release the fake relationship story and the fact that it was to cover up the fact that Yoo-jung was dating Jae-min who then had dumped her. She is perfectly aware that this will hurt Woo-hun- and by extension Chairman Cha, but somehow believes that this will fix everything and put her plans back on track. Her personal tragedy could well be titled the Fall of Kang Hye-joo.

At least Kang Hye-joo does not have to die. Daddy is just going to ship her abroad- hopefully to Paris.

Woo-hyun now knows that the fireman who rescued him is the father of Yoo-jung- and Yoo-jung knows this as well. This will be the other big test of their bond.

While the Fall of Kang Hye-joo was no shock- and has not yet been completed- the biggest surprise in this episode was the Humbling of Ko Kyung-eun- and the revelation of the real truth about The Fire. It was really started by his half-brother Se-hyeon because he was angry and jealous that Chairman Cha appeared to love Woo-hyun more. It was not in fact intended to hurt a specific person, just a general “I’m mad so I am burning this whole place down”. Ko Kyung-eun even apologizes for leaving Woo-hyun behind and offers to accept and support him if he will come into the company to help his brother.

It turns out that the building he has just received is not from Chairman Cha but is in fact from his half-brother- as an apology and amends for what happened back then. Which means that if Woo-hyun wants to keep on being a good guy he actually cannot give the building back- he must gracefully accept the gift.

But to me the most encouraging thing is that we are beginning to see the return of thoughtfulness in our leads. This quality was the unique side of this show for the entire first nine episodes that gave it a life and charm that far exceeded most dramas. For the next 3 episodes we simply had brooding and flashbacks while the writers struggled to fill the gap created by the sudden departure of Yoo-jung's younger brother. The story has now been put back on track.

@oldawyer + @dramafan12 Now that uri Milk Couple is back together, it's easier for me to enjoy watching Kang Hye-Joo implode. The backstory Hye-Joo shared with WH's mother (mother's attempted suicide and eventual emigration) barely hints at the depths of her suffering but it's enough to know it's tragic.

I enjoy a taste of Schadenfreude as much as the next gal and the evolution of the parents has also been interesting. But it's my dose of love-induced oxytocin triggered by WH+YJ that makes me stick with the show. The core romance is central to show's charm but the past couple weeks squandered much of the audience's precarious good will towards this show.

I'm looking forward to next week's conclusion. I fully expect another dramatic dump of some sort of tragedy but I will forgive everything if the Milk Couple triumph in the end.

Then I'll place a stack of Quiznos on my drama altar to ask for Chung Jung-Myung and Yoon Eun-Hye to paired again in another (better) drama.

Final thoughts after watching episodes 15 and 16. We got some warm fuzzy images in the last 2 episodes but in the end the writers could not save this show from the effects of PO’s sudden departure. Perhaps this shows an inherent difficulty with a show which has been adapted from a novel. What if a character and story arc which was integral to the main plot is suddenly ripped away by the departure of the actor who was not a lead character but one who’s character was important to the threads of the main plot? The writers desperately tried to piece a story back together but in the end we were left with a pile of inconsistencies and incoherence. The two leads did their best but it was obvious to me that towards the end of the last episodes even they could see that the cause had become hopeless.

It would be easy to blame the writers, but I do not. There is a great deal of difference between writing an original screenplay as opposed to adapting an existing novel. To ask a writer to suddenly throw out what were almost certainly completed or nearly scripts for the second half of the drama- and suddenly, at the drop of a hat, write an original screenplay as an extension of the first half of the drama, with almost no time to do it, would have taken a degree of talent and skill that simply may not be possible even for the greatest screenwriters of all time.
