bring on the cute!
Yesss, song ah totally comfortable around hyun seung even she miss him without she realized, she actually doesn't care anymore with Jae shin excuse why he needs to marry jae won's sister.

Btw, I really like hyun seung's nephew! she's so mature and her words always true :))) is she really 7 years old? :)))

I’ve dropped Royal Inspector for this one. It’s a bit slow sometimes but Rowoon is bringing energy into episodes that sometimes veer toward the depressing with the second mail leads tragic backstory and the main girl being so restrained all the time.

Plus you’re just not quite sure where it’s going. The tropes are there. But the characters aren’t quite taking the bait. She really Is firm on breaking up with the guy. And the guy stopped harassing her so so much after 1-2 episodes.

As for the married sister, are they trying to hint that her husband secretly gay and the cafe owner and him like each other?

If it was vicious from Jae-Shin to make Hyun Seung having a new Sunbae, I think it was a good thing for him to learn to handle different things. Clearly, Sunbae Kang is not caring as much as Song-A (we can understand why Hyun Seung is liking her so much now) and he must handle the typical employee-sunbae hierarchy.

The seperation was good for both of them. Song-A missed her adorable puppy :p I like how she's firm about what she wants with Jae-Shin.

Jae-Shin is pitiful. But it doesn't forgive what he did to Song-A...

I like the side characters too. There are interesting elements about Chae Yeon-Seung, like the fact her daughter asked why she doesn't have a job and it made her doubt, the fact her husband is suspicious. He's too perfect like he was trying to compensate something. With Chae Ji-Seung, the reason she broke her engagement and didn't date since. The scene with Lee Jae-Woon asking her for a meal and his secretary saying it's not possible was pretty funny :D

There was so much cuteness in these episodes. Drunk Hyun Seung is so adorable, trying to feed her, even if Song-A was angry she still did it :D

I really love that Hyun-seung didnt try to influence her decision about Europe one way or another. It shows that he really is trying to respect her boundaries. I thought we saw a lot of that in these eps--Hyun-seung following Song Ahs lead and not pushing. And I thought it was stinking cute that the only pushy thing he did was try to feed her when he was drunk. Here he is drunk as a skunk shoving oranges and yogurt at her -- for her health--and once he was convinced she was ok he stumbled away, snuggled up with his pillow and went to sleep.

I love that his creepy oversteps in the first few eps have been shown to be an anomaly in his pe3rsnoality and that everything since then has been showing that.

For me, my favorite part in the eps was Song-Ah watching Hyun-seungs happy dance to the news that she was staying. After being treated like crap by LJS I thought she really needed to see the pure, unfiltered effect that she has on HS especially when he wasnt aware to filter it. So much of her relationship with LJS was lies that every scene with SA and LJS feels like were watching blinders be forcibly removed from her eyes. He was the perfect boyfriend for 2 years because he carefully controlled how she saw him and when she saw him. I think before SA could move forward with HS she needed to see him when he wasnt aware so she could trust that hes not as emotionally manipulative as LJS.
I hope that makes sense.

I decided to drop the drama and just read the weecaps. But now after reading your weecaps I think I will check out a few scenes or watch it over the weekend.
I like the idea of him moving to a new team. I Think it's better this way if they eventually decide to start dating.

You didn't watch Graceful family missvictrix? How? why? lol. Lee Kyu-han was in it.

Oh a thing, we didn't adress, it's the fact nobody told Lee Hyo-Joo that her future husband was cheating on her. I mean as a viewers we know her personality but the characters don't know.

If I was her, I would like to know before my wedding that my future husband is a liar. But everybody is hidding the truth. I understand that Song-A is not really the right person to tell her, people could think she wants a revenge.

But if she doesn't know, she is a victim as much as Song-A.

Did anyone else just absolutely die with laughter when drunk Hyun-Seung pushed his drunk co-worker out of the way when he saw Song-Ah? Like the dude practically went horizontal!

I've watched that scene so many times now and it doesn't stop getting funny XD

Yes, these episodes were super cute laying the groundwork for our hopefully future couple. My takeaways were more from Song A than HS. We already know how HS feels but most of us assumed Song A didn't feel that way and I would say that is not true.

Song A has grown quite used to her Hoobae and having him around her and you can see she doesnt like him having a new trainer. I smiled when Song A knew the sound of his voice when he was talking to the other trainer and how she came to get him when he was being hazed into the new team. Song A seems like she cares for HS but doesnt want to acknowledge or admit it. BM LEE did not pull a rabbit out of his hat when he kept mentioning HS to Song A. BM Lee mentioned HS because even he sees something there. Remember all of the teammates actually thought they were dating ( HS and Song A originally) because they were so close.

I actually wished she did take the Europe project somewhat because it is a great career opportunity and my ambitious side was like girl this is your chance. No man should interfere with your career. So I am on the fence with that one..

Hmm as for HS i have a sneaky suspicious we may see HS's ex girlfriend at some point.

BM Lee is still living a victim mentality as Song A so accurately pointed out.

My focus were on the main leads this week, although the side stories were fun. I know some people think HS is pushy but I would say he is pushy when he needs to be and he gives Song A space when she needs it. Whatever he is doing, he is finally forcing Song A to look at him as a man and not a hoobae

Jae-Shin seems rather tragic; obviously he grew up with no parental affection or appropiate models. He's intelligent, but damaged, and his trying to figure what direction to take his life is superficial. I suspect he will learn and improve before the drama is over. Oh, that father of his, what a slime! And the director's rich grandfather is not that great of a human being also.

I loved the scene where Song-ah watches Hyun-seung do his victory dance. You can tell that she is pretty happy about it- it is like she is just beginning to see him as being her guy.

I too found his sister's family troubling. What is the story here?

One thing that I did not like in this episode- that felt off- was when Lee Hyo-joo showed up at the event where Hyun-seung had been pressed into serving as the makeup model but did not go inside once she saw Song-A com out. It is not just that this was petty on her part- it was unreal dramatically.

I do not find Jae-woon nefarious at all. A bit spoiled and not as competent as his friend but what we have seen is that he has in fact bought a clue when it comes to Hyun-seung's sister Ji-seung. It probably started when he saw her at the tennis club- while he may have mis-understood her family situation what he discovered is that she is not a 'peasant'- and now he understands that he needs to approach her in a different way. He is right about that. There is a reason that the beautiful Ji-seung is still unmarried: She prefers to run the family business in splendid isolation and has developed a whole host of ways to fend off suitors. So Jae-woon has adopted a more devious (but not nefarious) approach and it is working.

Which brings us to my hypothesis as to the dramatic reason for Ji-seung cancelling Hyo-joo's wedding dress. At first it really bothered me that Hyung-seung showed such foolish immaturity in asking that of her. Foolish because if Hyo-joo is removing your rival why on earth would you want to through a wrench into that? Immature because this hurts the family business. Then I realized why the writer needed to do this: It gives someone in Jae-woon's family a reason for objecting to his marriage to Ji-seung. Socially Ji-seung is exactly the girl that they would otherwise want Jae-woon to marry- His dad would probably trip over himself in his eagerness to agree. So, in order to have the roadblock to the union that is such an ingrained trope in a rom-com the writer has come up with a different hurdle: Hyo-joo will now have a major grudge against her and, being the manipulative person that she is, she will definitely try to put a stop to this happening out of spite.

As someone who has had to deal with the aftermath of a failed relationship with a more senior coworker, I laughed when Songah told Hyunseung that her ex "was not that kind of person" and wouldn't let personal matters interfere with business matters. There is no one who is professional and not petty when it comes to failed relationships, especially when they're in a position of power and are unlikely to face consequences for acting badly. Hyunseung has taken the abuse with an amazing amount of grace, though.

Ok, beanies. This is ep 5 and 6 and let me tell you: I had to FF some parts.... I got bored.

I don't find this drama bad, oh no... Melty was bad. I don't find this drama good either. I don't hate the characters, but I don't like them either...
The main love story, our OTP, they are boring. The work they do is boring, the companies are boring, the secondary characters are boring...
At least, yes... I have to, agree there had been a few cute moments, mostly in these couple of episodes. But still.. in general. They are boring for my taste. I don't feel desire to watch the next episode and find out what happens next.

So, maybe I will drop this one??? Maybe only follow the recaps??

I feel it's a pity, because I love a noona romance, but I am not convinced with this one 😑😑😑😑😑😒😒😒😒😒

rowoon is so silly and fun and watching his character bring out the smiles in song ah is truly delightful. i didn't think i'd love this drama but I'm actually growing to enjoy it a lot, even if i mainly keep it on in the background. it's very endearing :')

As episodes went on, we got to see why BM Lee and Song-ah came together and why they are not meant for each other. BM Lee and Song-ah never had real, happy and normal family growing up. BM Lee’s father was cruel and manipulative to his son. Song-ah’s father as implied was much worse. Song-ah’s family was not outright abusive to her but we did see that all was not well. Her father was a cheater (as implied it was worse than being a cheater), her mother buried her head sand and pretended everything was sunshine and rainbow.
BM Lee and Song-ah are the adult ones in their family. This suffering and past brought them together but that is only common thing in them.
As show goes on, we see how different they are from each other. BM Lee is manipulative and selfish.
Song-ah is caring and nurturing. She might seem as cold and distant but I think it is her armor.
He is not outright villain but for him success matters more.
