The scene where they're going back and forth on IM while Seok-ho obliviously drones on about classical pianists in the background was pretty fun.

Other than that Ki-joon needs to get a life and Mom needs to learn some boundaries!

Ki-joon is a total ass, but I'm still enjoying him. Yoon Park is hilarious, and makes this ridiculous and selfish character mildly sympathetic just because he's so clueless.

The matchmaking mom got on my nerves this week, though. But this is a character type that I always struggle to understand, so it might just be a cultural thing. But why is it so important that her daughter hurry up and get married? If she's not upset about it, why is her mother? The sexism underlying this kind of thinking irks me.

I loved the IM-ing scene with what's-his-name droning on about classical music in the background. I'm loving his burgeoning pairing with unni, too.

I completely understand why Shi-woo is so reluctant to marry, even though it's clear that he's a serial monogamist and wants a relationship that's basically marriage without the legal validation. To that end, I didn't take Ha-kyung's declaration that seriously--I think she was just fed up with her mom and Ki-joon and likes the idea of going against what people assume she wants, even if she does actually want it.

Even though 25 21 has the feels, this continues to be the drama I first pick yo watch week after week. Maybe because the late teens and early 20s, and their struggles, is not one I’m so concerned with anymore.

But this weeks marriage question is. I can understand why they both changed their mind so “quickly”. One has been hounded by her mom to get married AND just got a taste of how life can pull your intended path from you quickly (like you could even if you were married). Now someone’s offering her a different option and hearing a confirmation from a senior that marriage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be made her change her mind.

The other comes from a broken home but I think they’re trying to show how much he likes her and is slowly changed by her , namely this weeks comment that his intuition has consequences. So it’s also understandable why he changed his opinion.

This is prob why I like the drama. The feels are very understated and yet thoughtful.

I laughed when Ki-joon told Yoo-jin that Ha-kyung can't possibly date a man like Shi-woo then out all negative comment about Shi-woo which is more suitable describing himself. But I couldn't disagree with him, Ha-kyung has bad eyes in choosing male partner. If I were her and wanting to get married, I will choose to go blind dates arranged by her mother.
After a man like Ki-joon for 10 years and then Shi-woo (both need to be taken care of), traumatic hard life when she was a child, she deserves someone who can't take care of her.
Shi-woo is cute and all that but he so immatur sometimes, it will be exhausting for the long run. Who is got panicked forget to bring meat for making kimchi jiggae while he can just replace with can of tuna or dude Chiken stock or something?? Man are you a kiddo?

Thanks for the speedy post @missvictrix!

I don't love this drama, but it's good and keeps me watching. I liked ep10 for the way it gave no clear answers on the issue of marriage - loads of thoughts from loads of perspectives but no simple path to follow. I liked the truth of that - each of us approaches it with our own perspective, experience, understanding and so on, and what works for one doesn't work for another - and that the writer is forcing the characters to work through their own decisions. It's interesting.

While I loved Seok-ho and unni bonding over penguins (his wide-eyed, "They're my favourite!" actually drew an "Awwww" from me), I am having to suspend disbelief over the speed with which they got to red-wine-and-reading-her-book-together. Seok-ho has known she is the author of Crocodile in the City since the bookshop; despite that he's done very little to pursue the relationship and was following his uptight-and-cold routine when she turned up with kimchi, trying to get her out of the house asap. How did her finding her book on his shelf lead him to becoming a marshmallow just like that? He was squirming with embarrassment when she picked it up... Not following what we're expected to deduce!

I’m with you @missvictrix, Yoo-Jin is starting to grow on me. She’s displaying growth and maturity, especially when compared to almost everyone else. The people who really irritated me this week were Dong-Han’s wife - what is her deal?! Nothing seems to make her happy! - and Ha-Kyung’s mom. Enough meddling already!

Are there six episodes of story left for FL&W? I would still run FL&W out for twelve episodes and send the other four episodes to THROUGH THE DARKNESS.
I think Yoo-jin has had some of the best character growth in the drama.
I though that maybe Ki-joon (Yoon Park) might evolve and come around the way Han Se-kwon (Lee Sang-yeob) did in VERGE but now I am not sure.

I like that Yoo-jin, as much as she started off negatively, has turned out to be a character we can sympathize with, and even like. And you know what? I do like her. And I really, really want her and Ki-joon to work out. I like that she calls him out on his frequent nonsense, and that she is so much more than just someone's cheating ex. I want Ki-joon to get his act together and make it work with her, I really do.

The couples are like empty shells for me.

The main couple has very important converstions about relationship but I still don't know why they love each other... Their camping trip was superficial. They spent their time to watch informations about meteo or talked about meteo, that is their job. But there wasn't any intimacy. (And, who wants to go camping when they are expecting rain? What genius forgets the meat?)

The second couple is not better. Yoo-Jin showed some growth but if Ki-Joon acted like that it's because of her. She lied about Shi-Woo and then didn't register their marriage. Her reason to want to marry was because he was just the first one to propose? He was sure about his feelings for her before that. The issue it's they rushed their marriage before knowing each other and they're disapointed now.

I don't like how the ex-pair still talk to each other. I can't understand why Ha-Kyung would ask Ki-Joon about marriage life...

I'm warming up to Yu-jin more. Surely she saw a responsible Ki-jun, and fell in love with that man. Get your acts together man. I'm deeply rooting for Yujin-Kijun to work out, and of course Taekyung-Seokho.
The more the episodes pan out, the more I see problems with the main couple. The lovey-dovey moments are there and they are to die for, but as Director Jin's mom says 'happiness ain't a constant factor or occurrence in a marriage', but I don't see both being a pillar for each other when the going gets going.

Death, Taxes and Day Care. That's my connection with these two episodes (thumbs up @missvictrix). Had to skulk out of a meeting with a particularly pugnacious subcontractor and my boss to pick up my 14 month old kiddo. As any working mom will tell you - don't piss off your child minders. Said no male ever.
Interspersed with some mind-blowingly nuts office interactions are these little nuggets of truth. Mom-breadwinner has to pick up her kids. Her hubby is a schlub and has dumped it all on her: high pressure career, being primary parental unit and support while he "studies".
Gee, no wonder our FL decides to opt out of the whole mess.
Weather-wise - having lived and worked (outside) in South Florida, I can say that endless days of heat and humidity can suck the heart, mind and soul out of anyone.
I am happy our ML is going to Jeju for a spell. Does absence do its thing?

Thanks @missvictrix! I agree that Yoo-Jin is developing some maturity and gaining our sympathy, while Ki-Joon is still stuck in his self-involved spin-cycle. Also, the fact that our ML and FL both went to their exes to ask advice was pretty brave, and says a lot about how much they care for each other.

We are still loving this show and these episodes actually surprised us. In particular there is no longer any way we can hate the second female lead anymore- now what she did makes sense, even if perhaps she simply ended up trading one mistake for a different mistake. At this point she simply has our pity.

I can empathise with Yoo-Jin on some level but I cringed hard when she said she got married to Ki-joon because he was the first to propose. 🥴. That must have hurt. Did she think it through before actually saying that?
It looks like he was more certain of his feelings for her.

Also, she has certainly played a role in the mistrust he has of her but Ki-joon is such an ass. He really could have at least listened to what she had to say. Ughh

Although I am a huge fun of Park Ming Young I force myself to watch it . I don't see any spark between any of them. It is not about age difference just become a boring , stereo type story. PMY is repeating herself again. She is following Song Hye Kyo's step :) I felt the same vibe like 'We are breaking up' in this drama. I have dropped it in this week. I may come around the watch last episode :)

Forecasting love and weather is such an up-and-down experience for me! I hated the 1st episode, liked episodes 2, 3 and 4; was meh for episodes 5 and 6, and for this set of episodes I am completely down. I have a difficult time because I am not sure where they are going with the four leads. The main leads no longer have that chemistry they had earlier, they dnt even look like a couple anymore. I understand they have issues to deal with each week, but it feels disjointed and the weather aspect feels forced, I mean it's not smooth at all. Even the monologues they have about the weather and how they feel, does not connect with me at all. And I still wonder why Ki-jun is still like the main character, why do we see so much of him. His clueless face is not funny, and I am getting tired of seeing him. The only story that resonated with me this week was that of Myong-joo: women lose so much when they get married and I could feel with her, when she had to leave to pick up her kids, and I wanted to slap Soo-jin' mouth when she made that snide comment afterward, pfff, you should know better!
