So I have really loved this show from the beginning and still do- Man-bok's story and his recital put tears in my eyes. Ra-ra's selling her car and handing an envelope of money to Joon's mom was another wonderful moment.

But then the wedding at the end of episode 12 and Joon's abduction of the bride left me dumbfounded. Not least because we know that Dr. Cha is in fact sick. I have enjoyed the ride so far and will continue to watch but this left me wanting to pound my head against the wall.

I hope the show can pull a few rabbits out of the hat. For the moment color me confused- and bemused.

I believe the wedding stunt is for Seunggi and Hayeong's new business. I watched this one with my friend and were wondering what possible act they were trying to pull, then I had the sudden idea of Wedding Organizer business of our beloved business partners/couple (I know they are not couple yet, but I trust they will be).

Seunggi is the videographer, Hayeong will take care of the decoration and makeups. The drama was slow this week, but it still didn't fail to warm my heart. I love the Eunpo squad so much, including the new member, Minsoo, who does couple look with Sookkyung all along the episode.

Keep this warmth, show!

I think the wedding is a troll. Like it's not a real wedding. As many have said, it's likely to be related to Seung Gi and Ha Young's business idea, since Seung Gi is always filming things and they made a deliberate note of showing him filming the "wedding". @mschoiyu summed it up nicely.

It's gonna be like Shopping King Louis where they pulled ANOTHER "amnesia", but it was fake. That was around the same episode mark too lol.

Plus literally everyone in the drama ships Jun and Lala lol. Imagine the retcon it'd be if it were real pffffffffft.

I don't remember what it was, but there was an epic fake-out in Shopping King Louis as well, so this is probably that (fingers crossed).

I thought it was silly for Joon to be waiting for 'fate' to have them meet again after Lala left him. Why not just contact her when he's 20? He knows her number and where she lives, lol. No reason to wait until he coincidentally hears she's getting married.

Anyway, just like you said, missvictrix, I'm waiting to see what the next conflict is to fill 4 episodes. Hopefully it'll be fun!

is Mimi a pomeranian? didn't i see another dog in a different drama that looks just like Mimi? i can't keep track of duplicates in different dramas... it's making my head spin.... i must have covid/lockdown/election/when-will-he-leave-the-white-house fatigue...

i dont like how these people didnt talk to Joon Properly. his mom could have talk to him ask for understanding ask him to study for now, tell him that he is precious instead talk to Rara. Rara could have talked and said in front of him, not disappear in the middle of date (ugh i hate it so much) Joon ALWAYS give her everything she wants. she knows this way will break his heart but she did it anyway is ridiculous for me.

I love the fluff that is this show, but when Man-bok gave his concert and we learnt the back story of the "Maiden's Prayer", ooof, we had a moment of gravitas. Man-bok's line that he never minded his wife forgetting everything apart from that music in her dementia because he was a part of that memory - what a stunningly beautiful way to remember her and to honour her memory by learning to play the piece.

I too think we are being duped and the wedding was not real. It probably has something to do with Seung-gi and Ha-Young's business proposal since we never got to hear their business idea and their reaction when Jun took Ra Ra was not happy. As Jun's friends I'm pretty sure they would cheer him on, not act dissapointed that he showed up. I'm thinking the wedding was a promo event/trial for whatever their business is. I just don't think Ra Ra would marry Dr Cha so quick. Anyway, I enjoy the show. Haraboji's love story was nice and on a totally superficial note, Lee Jae-wook looked really good as Man-Book, the 60's look suits him.

I'm curious how Lala could pay her debt to Jun. She doesn't have more students. She never counted how much she owed him. She has to pay fees for her room and food. It wasn't a small amount between the car, the hospital for her, the hospital for Mimi and the rest. I mean at this point, making a bank transfer seems safer than an envelope.

The ahjummas are so funny imagining these scenarios.

Ha-Young and Seug-Ki's scenes are my favourite : the way they went to Seoul to meet Jun, there are the ones who take care of Ra-Ra, their glasses to make more serious when they annouced they won't go to college :p

I loved the cameo of Eun Dan-O as patient number 2 in the hospital - did a double take on this one. So her heart condition has led to a full-body-cast now, poor Dan-o-ya!
I did not like the "let's have a perfect date and then I am going to leave you with the bicycle rent fee" move. Reminds me of the last date at the book store in "Encounter"... I "shiro" that trope so much.

This continues to be my happy bill but the harobuji back story mirroring past to present lifts the story several notches up. Only four more episodes to go .... I love the Eunpo crew so much that I don't mind this turning into a 50-Ep weekend drama.

I had a lot of thoughts and feels after this weeks episodes. This is a show that really showcases our charectors hidden depths.
1) In this weeks eps we see how deeply Ra Ra feelings go. she was obviously up set, and we see her crying at her piano when Jun shows up. When he is finally in front of her, she is all smiles. But once he looks away you can see the absolute heart ache in her eyes and the toll of being her happy self. She does it so he wont be upset at what she knows is inevitable.
2)I adored the conversation between jun's mom and RA Ra. Like said in the recap, this is when we see her as a mother who truly loves her son and wants the best for him tho she may go about it in a rough way. When she explained that they had him late due to infertility you could feel her pain. She wants Jun to be happy but he is still a minor, there is no getting away from that fact
3) I think RA RA showed the greatest depth and maturity here. She knew she had to let Jun go for his own benefit. This is not your typical noble idiocy. If they were the same age then I could see it. He is a kid and she knows his future is important no matter how much she cares for him. It takes a lot of strength to know you have to let someone go.
These two points cement my belief that under her ditzy happy personality there is so much more. The moment she found out his real age she knew what was going to happen
4) WHAT WAS THAT WEDDING SCENE?!?!? i hope it wasn't real.
I have to say that I think this is one of the best shows of 2020 it has so much depth and heart that I will be sad to see it go.

As much as I hate to see our inseparable Ra-ra and Joon separated, this was a great set of episodes. I think it really speaks to how the writer doesn't put all their eggs into the OTP basket, but developed all characters and the relationships, so the drama remains strong, energetic, and interesting even when Ra-ra and Joon aren't together. They really lift each other up and are always rooting for each other.

I loved the "confrontation" scene between Ra-ra and Joon's mom. It went against our expectations on how such a scene would go, especially given how controlling Joon's mom is. I was touched to see that Joon's mom also recognize that Ra-ra is also somebody's precious daughter, just like how Joon is her precious son. And Ra-ra made a good decision to let Joon go because they really are at different stages in life now. She remembered how things were when she was 19. Ra-ra may seem immature and carefree, but she is thinking, considering, and adapting. She knows when to get serious.

I'm curious as to how Ra-ra confirmed Dr.Cha was dodosolsollalasol. So she was right a few episodes back when she commented on the similarity of the figure of speech - which, Joon pointed out, was very flimsy evidence. I hope we get some sort of flashback.

The problem with the wedding as an advertisement deal is that it was live streamed. When Jun saw it and anyone else, there was no title that said "2 Kids wedding videos! Look what we can do for you!" No advertisement!
You dont think kept an eye on the live stream the whole way to Enpo? What good is advertising without advertising?
You dont think the kids kept in touch with Jun all that time?
I mean they only skipped school risked alot to save him and kidnap him out of the hospital?!?!?
No one in the whole town thought, Hey if Jun sees this he will freeak??? It wasnt just Jun.
The guy she almost married and Dr Chas ex wife came down turbo speed too!
The writing has been good til now but 2 things were un characteristic of the people we came to know them as.
1. RaRa saying ZERO to Jun when she lured him to the boat dock
2. This whole wedding fiasco. Ratings bait anyone?

I have such mixed feelings in regards to Jun's mother.
On one hand i completely see and agree why she would be upset with Jun being out of the home, giving up on school, and working to (at least part of the reason) help support Ra Ra.
On the other hand her son was hurting and she is putting way more effort into keeping him in line to keep up the family image than in helping him.
There does seem to be an element of fear involved to in regards to her husband?
It would also be nice if even though she is against what he has been doing (one hundred percent reasonably so) if she could still recognize the positive aspects that allowed him to be able to do all that he has done even if just to herself.

The only thing that is left is for Ra Ra to find out about her dad's secretary stealing his money. They showed it briefly and that was it.

I 100% that the weeding scene is a prank. It must be a prank, otherwise I can not accept that! XD
Harabooji story always melting my heart

Thanks for the recap. Last week's episodes left a high benchmark, so I'm not surprised many of us were left disappointed this week. But I'm still rooting for our Joonie & Lala to overcome their age difference and social status. I won't be surprised if Joon, now planning to major in Maths, has calculated a plan for his happy ending with Lala. I am not worried about the wedding. It must have been for a promotional gimmick for Seunggi & Hayoung's new business. Anything more serious than that will make everything awkward.

This is the only drama so far that had me crying unexpectedly. There I was intently watching that parting scene of ep 10 and haraboji's story in 11 (or was it 12?), and boom! Tears started to flow. Is it Wednesday yet??? :)

At least Ra-ra didn't give Joon another bloody nose when she swerved his kiss, which I appreciate her not kissing a minor, and the show had Ha-young explicitly tell us, "We're adults now."

This show is turning into another example of how Kdramas are made. They dont get the whole thing in then can and then play it like US TV. They have a show written out about 1/2 way and start and then the writing changes about 1/2 way through. Either pressured to finish, edited because of viewer feedback etc.
This one was pretty good but evidently had falling viewership so they started doing tricky shocking EP endings to get you to tune back in next week to find out the "What the hell is going on" factor.
