My basis for a good movie/show is if it stays with me the morning after. And ep 6's epilogue had me thinking. This really just might be my new favorite romcom. 💗

I find it very bizarre that he is just now realizing he has a crush on her, sir what did you think was happening? It now makes sense why she is mostly unimpressed by him, she had a crush, he ended up with some else and she moved on. I love that for her, honestly. Also the lawyer is petty and hilarious.

Jung Yeol is my favorite though, he is so precious, and when he was sprucing that silly haircut and I just loved him even more.

Chae Jong Yup, coming in and flirting with all the noona reporters is my new favorite thing. He said I am going to use my face, megawatt smile, and earnestness to make sure they don't write bad things about me. When they all realize what he is doing, I genuinely feel bad for his character, lmao.

Finally, Yu Na(in his sing song voice), lol. So funny.

Now that we've left 'Africa' behind, I'm really enjoying this drama. It's especially working for me as a workplace drama, because I'm getting a feel for what people actually do in their jobs. Things like the friendly-yet-adversarial relationships between the PR people and the journalists, or between rival managers, are really well shown.

The pacing is really good, too - no waiting around while the director makes sure that you are feeling whatever it is you are supposed to be feeling.

One thing, though - I feel Yoo-sung (despite his mysteriousness) is a better match for Han-byeol than either of the other two guys. They are clearly on the same wavelength, trust each other, are both level-headed and dependable. I know the drama won't go this way, but I can see Tae-sung going completely obsessive and deranged to the point of a restraining order, while Soo-hyuk proves to be dull, leaving Han-byeol and Yoo-sung to bond over clearing up the mess.

I feel like I’m the only person in the world who’s not getting SLS for Soo-hyuk. I get that he’s handsome and a catch due to his calm personality and profession, but he does nothing for me. He’s a nice face and that’s it.

I adore Jung-yeol with all my heart. He’s such a pure soul and his growing friendship with Tae-sung is so much fun to watch. I love that he’s got a girlfriend too. He deserves the love!

I really liked that Han-byul was shown genuinely moving on from her lingering feelings for Tae-sung after he confirmed that relationship (sidenote: Moon Ga-young, I love you so much!). That’s an outcome realistic to real life crushes. I don’t think either party was wrong. Han-byul shouldn’t be hung up over a guy who (seemingly to her) has no interest in her and Tae-sung should be able to date whoever he wants, weird parasocial “rules” about celebrities dating be damned. The only problem is that Tae-sung is so obviously, shamelessly infatuated with Han-byul that other relationships for him are probably doomed.

I want to say I’d be stronger than those reporters falling for Chae Jong-hyeop’s shtick, but let’s be honest, I would be down bad. No defence against the pretty.

I actually don’t get mysterious vibes from Yoo-sung at all? I’ll probably be proven wrong soon, but for now, he just seems like a friendly and competent person who’s well-connected and dedicated to his job. I like his character.

Now that the drama has mostly stopped with the incessant “Africa” name drops (what country, mate?), I’m finding it much more fun. It’s still not perfect - the pacing and editing needs some work - but it’s a solidly enjoyable ride. The BGM choices in particular crack me up everytime. Nothing this week may have topped the previous Heirs and Titanic references, but it continues to be comedic gold.

May the BGM continue to be funny and the
~Yu-uu-na~‘s remain charming.

The ending of ep 6..oomph! The contrast between the hilariously unemotional and efficient way she handled the naengmyun bowl dating rumor and the heartbreak of the dating non-rumor from when she was in love with Tae-sung years ago. It was the wise thing to do give up on her crush.

Now it's Taesung's turn to go through the emotional rollercoaster because of his crush on her. I'm still surprised he didn't realize he was crushing on her for at least well over a year. Looking for letters from her and looking for her in the background of a video chat didn't clue him in?

So many LOL scenes with all the funny behind-the-scenes things that can happen with managing actors or just working in the entertainment business, but my fave moment has got to be when Taesung was describing his ideal type and the PR ladies and Jung-Yeol whipped their heads to Han-byeol at once.

Our couple is slowly making progress. Tae-sung is slowly realizing that he is in love with Han-byeol (I thought that he has known this for a while). Han-byeol slowly realizes that Tae-sung is not such a selfish jerk after all and seems to be wavering. She seems to see the lawyer only as a colleague.
From the looks of it, Han-byeol and Tae-sung were friends at best during college. It wasn't until Han-byeol started working at the agency that she fell in love with Tae-sung, but that ended unhappily, so she will be all the more careful now. So Tae-sung will have to work hard to convince her.

Yoooooo-naaaaa could probably drive even a saint crazy.

And wonderful how the group of Tae-sung-Han-byeol shippers in the agency is getting bigger and bigger.

This drama is fun. It's interesting how I care about every character and not only the leads. I like them but I'm not so excited about their love story or their scenes like I do in usual romances in Kdrama.

Yuu~na~yaa is unbearable but her CEO's frustration is so funny to watch.

Shi-deok's new name quest was pretty funny. I don't understand why they changed their name so easily...

Yoo-sung's professionnalism is nice to watch. I really like this character and his frienship with Han-byeol. I like her professionnalism too, it would be nice she could stay as peaceful with Tae-sung too :p

So are we getting a love hexagon because it seems we have left triangle behind, also I really hope Tae sung does apt of grovelling because right now the lawyer is wining, and who else laughed out loud at the elevator scene 😂, seems our lawyer pal can be very petty as well.

Didn't expect to see a potato boy cameo in there - seeing his killer smile unexpectedly over the weekend makes the next episodes of Love All Play feel even more further away now! I said this last week but this week only cemented it, its the supporting character's who are increasingly carrying the show for me - the little things that happen in the background/small scenes that explore the other employees lives are everything. This week's highlights have to be the two managers watching on in exasperation at Yuna and Jaehyun who can't stop giggling at each other, and resident soft boi Jungyeol carefully combing his uneven fringe while TS is freaking out about his hair smelling. Also wondering, given the amount of uh, eye candy we've been doled out since the beginning - is Kim Youngdae contractually obliged to have his muscles on show in at least once scene each episode? I'm not complaining though!

Oh Han Byeol is such a tough nut to crack that i almost gave up on her ever getting Tae Sung’s mega-crush ( even though he never says anything! Grrrr) until they served up that epilogue 🥲 The quartet shippers of TaeByeol is hilarious! I really think if they ever do date, the news leak will probably accidentally come from their own team.

What was that look ho yeong was giving su yeong (the manager) in ep 6? Is show suddenly giving her a crush on him? Seems a bit weird for now..

I feel I'm missing something: where are the comments about Tae-sung only just now realising he has a crush on Nan-byeol coming from? I thought he'd been pretty clear with himself all along what his feelings are: he just lacks the tools to express himself well (which is obviously bollocks for a trained actor, but that's the kind of thing I can easily accommodate in suspension of disbelief).

Also, isn't Jung-yeol's girlfriend going to turn out to be Bo-in, the rookie on the PR team? I thought previous episodes were clearly pointing in that direction.

I think my favourite part from this weekend's episodes has to be Tae-Sung sulking dramatically in the 'rain' and telling Han'Byeol to "just go if she's going to be like this" like the show is building up to some kind of charged confrontation but instead of asking what he means she just... bails. Straight up just yeets herself off set so fast it left him gobsmacked.

Comedy gold! I re-watched it so many times lol

I actually really like the FL/ML pairing, especially the contrast between the characters' overall presentation - she's light, sweet, and deceptively cute and he's dark, devilish, and deceptively rude. The way Tae-sung looked around for Han-byeol after every filming scene was hilarious. Did she see me being handsome? Did she see me being romantic? Did she see me being kick-ass in the fight scene? Did she see me crying in the rain? I am all these awesome men rolled into one, just for her! Look at me, look at me!

Tae-sung's fuzzy purple sweater in episode 6 is the greatest fuzzy purple sweater in the history of kdrama fuzzy purple sweaters. It's the apotheosis of fuzzy purple sweaters. I have eyes only for it. Nothing else matters.

My favorite scenes were the epilogue scenes for the part where Han Byeol was in whatever Tae Sung has achieved in. From graduating in university, being there experiencing the joy of Tae Sung in a movie selling 10 million tickets, to being there when he won best actor award and to the day she bid him farewell on his trip to Africa. They do have a special relationship not only as manager or an actor and that is what I love about these two. They bicker like kids, have the biggest of crushes inside their heart, but they are there always for one another no matter what.

I cried with Oh Han Byeol at the end of the epilogue... It hurt so deep...

It makes me wonder, however, how'd the staff/manager of idols who work closely with them; manage to avoid falling in love with the idols or being heartbroken by their one-side crush...

Gong successfully making my heart flutter

I'm really enjoying this frothy rom com at the moment. I like the interactions between our leads and will be delighted to see Tae Sung suffer for a few episodes at the hands of Soo Hyuk. Judging by his comment in the lift, he knows what way the wind is blowing and is not averse to a bit of knife twisting!
Also, Soo Hyuk seems to be the opposite to Tae Sung, in that he quickly realises what/who he likes and goes for it, as opposed to Tae Sung who apparently has only just realised he's had a crush for 10 years...Let the battles begin!
The epilogue gave us a lot of context for Han Byeol, I doubt she will be in a hurry to get together with Tae Sung unless there is some serious self reflection and change in approach from him. I'd love to see her go on a few dates with Soo Hyuk first...
And Yooooo Naaah yaaah is hilarious.

On second hand I know this;
An actress was on set. Her husband was visiting that day.
A magazine wanted to take a photo. Her husband didn't like to be a celebrity, so he just stayed out of sight, while another actor, born in England, who would love to get a bit of extra publicity, got in the shot with her, as a colleague and friend.
The story told in the magazine was "Love or Career?" and said that she was facing a hard choice between continuing her career in Denmark or go with her love to the States and an uncertain future.
It was not just a biased retelling, there was nothing true in that article at all. He wasn't her boyfriend or lover ... he wasn't even an American!
