Just wanna share a quick note before all the snarky comments drop. This show is getting better and is not the trash some anti-fans are calling it. The humor and character may not sit well with everyone but all that does is it’s offensive and everyone has different threshold as to what offends them.

I’m quite taken by the zany manhwa vibes, the clever parodies used by the PDs and the quick plot developments. But I wasn’t feeling the show. It was cute and all but I wasn’t invested on the characters till ep 4. The build up to that was good. Loving the show currently and waiting for more. Rooting for SB! Love all the gender reversal and the fight scenes. JCW got kicked over the moon. LOL.

Why everyone eats open mouth in the show 😁His mom is the most awful one 😁I like Seat-byul. She is fearless young girl! Ladies run the show 😁

I really liked the last episodes because we really learnt more about our main characters specially SB. She's strong outside but she's lacking love in her life from family. She's the one responsible for her little sister (I'm pretty sure she will screw things for SB...) She has values and works really hard. But she needs someone to care of her too like DH did at the police station or by scolding her. DH is learning to be less judgy and trust SB, he makes his own opinion and doesn't follow what other people says to him.

Personally, I was skeptical at first after watching the first 2 episodes but I gave it another shot since this is Yoojung's show. And yeas, the 3rd and 4th episode did not disappoint me this time. Its getting better and better. I laugh and giggle a lot especially during the last episode. Now, I'm excited for next week. Thanks for recapping btw.

Episode 3 opened with our lead characters performing The Twist. It was fun.

Now that people have had a chance to actually see the show I noticed that there are fewer negative comments. This show is not what was described by the anti-fans. Sexist? Saet-byul believes that “A woman speaks with her fists” (remember that this story comes from a manwha) - she certainly does not agree with the notion that a woman “needs a man to protect her”. More to the point she utterly rejects the notion that a woman cannot pursue a man (so do I). In short- Saet-byul is a feminist.

I am still not sold on the male lead’s Rastafarian friend, who probably could have been eliminated from the drama adaptation with no harm to the story. But maybe I will be proven to be wrong. I will say this: I have a co-worker who is Rastafarian- and one of the nicest, kindest and most considerate people I have ever known. So I will wait and see.

Over the past few years I've read and heard people talking about the excitement of noona romances in Kdramaland and nobody has argued about it,so I am confused why everyone is so up in arms with this age gap. I'm sure in real life we all know, or know of, couples of varying ages in relationships, so long as they are of legal age and one person is not being taken advantage of why would we care? Yes there are some parts to this story that need addressing, the Rastafarian and his adult drawings needs to go as does SB's friend that argues with him, neither of them add to the story. I also hope that the mother's tendancy to beat her husband gets addressed properly but that's a long shot in Kdramas where wives hitting husbands and adult children is seen as the norm. I took the kiss as a bit of bravado and didn't see it as anything different to the falling on top of you first meetings that happen. I think the turn around of rich woman with poorer boyfriend is interesting for a change but if she hasn't been able to introduce him to her parents in two years and lies to him then you know that relationship is toxic. I think our leads are doing a great job and their story is the only one I'm invested in.

Did anyone notice the scene when the new applicant for the part-time position met the webtoon writer friend? It was straight out of The Fiery Priest. (Same Director, Myoungwoo Lee) It was an absolutely hilarious reference to a gangster's racial bullying of an immigrant worker from Thailand (from memory). It made me start to think about all the prejudiced responses that have happened so far in BR - Yoo Yeon-joo referring to Saet-byul as a lowly person; all the reactions to Han Dal-shik, especially the friend who is both repelled and attracted. The boys who steal from the store who show contempt for SB because she is a young woman.

There were some laugh out loud moments this week. The opening dance, the Fiery Priest flashback, the two fight scenes, including Choi Dae-hyun's knock out, and finally the piggy back that was sprung. A sad moment was in the police station when Dae-hyun told the offensive man not to say that someone was like a daughter to him, and Jung Saet-byul teared up because of her father.

Thanks for weecaping this show. I am enjoying more each episode. Granted that first episode was a bit off the mark in not be even remotely PC. But they've toned down reggae boy to a just kinda dumb sidekick.
The backstory we are getting on Saet-byul’s history is interesting and helpful to understand her. She's learned that she HAS to be tough in order to survive.
However Dae-hyun is still so easily swayed by his girlfriend and it's hard to watch, but I think he will change throughout the show. He's already shown bits of strength in his convictions.

But what got me the most were the references to Sky Castle the first night then the reference to Fiery Priest the second night. When the job seeker said he used to deliver Chinese food I finally placed him. It was so funny to see him back in the role for a tiny bit.
except for Reggae boy falling to the ground what was that about?
So I'm still going to watch this and ignore all the hate comments.

I want to love this show but I cannot get over Dalshik's character. I wish they would get rid of that nasty dread wig at least. It's so hard to watch him in 2020 I didn't think I would have to suffer through a character like that to look at Ji Chang Wook.

You know what? I quite like this one.
I enjoy JCW's character. He is such a positive and wholesome guy but he is not stupid. I don't think he ever considered SB a love interest, I am not even sure if we've got a scene where he sees her as a woman but he is definitely fond of her and wants to protect her which is endearing.

I liked SB in ep. 3 and 4 much more too. She is toned down and we got a glimpse behind the reason she fell in love with him at first sight. Her wardrobe is A+ and I am relly envious of her figure.

Now that DH let her in, I can't wait to see more of their interactions. That flower and then piggyback ride scene showed the chemistry between them. It is definitely there and I hope the next episodes won't disappoint. It seems like a slow burner on DH's side and I am here for it.

I think JCW is proving that he is a very capable actor, I know a ton of people don't like him on this site but he is delivering it for sure. But anyone who's seen him in Empress Ki knew it already.

Okay, so I managed to catch up marathoning the 5 episodes and I’m loving it! Actually loved it from the pilot ep and I don’t get the hate they’re giving this show, it’s a comedy for crying out loud. I enjoy it’s slapstick humor, the over the top characters, the loud eomma Kim Sun Young, and oh my goodness I’m in love with the gorgeous Kim Yoo Jung as Jung Saet Byul. She’s so hardworking and the girl can kick ass, I wanna be like her when I grow up! I love Ji Chang Wook so I’m fine with his comedic antics here and hope that we will soon see Dae Hyun grow a spine coz he does everything Yeon Joo says, he’s so whipped. So glad I started watching this, and I am really enjoying it so far!

I really really want to love this show and I do, until the friend comes on screen. I cringe! Between the fake locs, the buzzing noise (to say that he is dirty), ugh. And then the scene when the Nigerian man walks in and they end up dancing around the store, singing a *I think a Bob Marley song. Just no, no, no. I'm all about diversty&Inclusion but that isn't what they should aim for.
