Seems like an easy fun watch. I am not too invested in the characters, yet. Some of the scenes prolonged for too long.
But I do think the show will pick up (for me) once her break up happens. The anticipation of a proposal went on for too long. I felt her frustration but I was also getting frustrated with all those imagined scenarios in her head.

The lady at the restaurant check in handing a glass of water is the best scene in the two episodes. I laughed so hard.

Will continue. Looking forward to more interactions between the leads. Plus some serious conversations about dating and love.

@Unit, what a great weecap! Let's all cross our fingers for no murders.

The cat-and-dog spat at their first business meeting was delightful and I can’t wait for more of Bo-ra’s hyperbolic radio rants and Soo-hyuk’s prickly mulishness. Sojin lights up my screen - I want Yoo-jung to be my best friend. Chansung is so good at being an idol with feet of clay, and I hope we get to see more of that talent, as well as more of Yoon Hyun-min’s singing (but without having to suffer through another overlong noraebang session). Overall, I’m cautiously optimistic.

Thanks for the recaps!

My favorite parts were all in episode 2: the first war... appointment in the office, Deborah's dreams VS reality, the boy in the disco trying to flirt with Deborah's sister (I already like him as much as I dislike her) and finally the karaoke scene.

I admit I had some laughs with those moments :)

Bo Ra, Deborah aka. all the type of men tabong hates the most in one single show. 😆 I think I haven't disliked a ML this much since Secret Garden.

So my highlights are Deborah's scenes on the radio show and the karaoke part where she sings BGGG by Miss A. That was on point.

PS. Bo Ra and her friend would've been perfect for each other. LOL They're on the same page, but their partners are... On another world.

I don't mind a good, fluffy rom-com. But I watched this too soon after Call It Love. I though it'd be like a sweet palate cleanser between meatier fare. Instead, the vulnerable, emotional moments resonated more, esp. Soo-hyuk's breakup scene.

But looking fwd to more good fun next week.

I've just finished episode 1. I've been watching Yoo Inna since 'Birdie Buddies' and 'You're The Best Lee Soon-shin' and this is the most natural and relaxed I've seen her. Perhaps its her six years as a radio host that makes her so comfortable in the role.

As an aside, IU recently did a 1 hour interview with Suga of BTS (a VERY big deal) then at the end she tacked on a promo for Bora! Because IU had lost a bet to Inna and the penalty was she had to promote Inna's new show on IU's next episode

Yoo In Na looks so pretty that I kept being distracted from the plot because I was too busy admiring her face. Apart from her beauty, nothing attracted me to any of the characters or the story and hence, a drop!

@unit thank you for this weecap. It was an interesting start to the series. I did not like the character of Bora’s boyfriend from the first contact he seemed to have a constant smirk and acted very childish and self centred. I could not understand why Bora and her friend thought he would be a good match as he didn’t seem to offer anything.

The way Bora presents on the radio show is really funny; the uncommitted boyfriend rant was spot on. I don’t understand Soohyuk, he seemed genuinely upset that he was not the boyfriend he thought he was. From the time he told his friend that his girlfriend was sick so he told her to rest and would not make contact, I was thinking; here’s a man who has never watched a K drama where colds are treated as if the person is in the ICU needing constant monitoring. It was so disappointing that he cried and showed the ring to his friend but not to the girlfriend whose last image of him was being handed cold medication moments after she had told him how he had never made her feel she was HIS person.

I know this is typical set up for the enemies to lovers trope but in this case surely it would be better if he was reluctantly working with Bora to make amends to his ex long term girlfriend and marry her than for Bora and Soohyuk to become an item.

Best scenes so far:
the restaurant scene where Sangjin embarrassed himself with the reservation booking and the subtle/not so subtle women in solidarity response.
Bomi mistaking the overwhelmed by love at first sight soldier for an international student because of his inability to form coherent sentences.

Ahhhh, this drama was so fun and funny! Kept me smiling throughout the episodes. The little sound effects and background music were good. Bora was super entertaining and animated when she talked on the radio show. Her overimaginative scenarios cracked me up too!

Yoo Inna is completely nailing this character!! Line delivery, expressions, everything looked natural.

Soo Hyuk was speechless when Yuri broke up with him. He didn't even apologize. Wonder why he's bad at communicating.

The immediate clashing between Bora and Soo Hyuk was fun to watch. The snark from BOTH sides was good.

I'm interested in the other relationship stories and curious to see how they play out too. Bora's sister had a few lengthy scenes that didn't get mentioned. And omg, I just looked up the actor playing the guy crushing on her = June (iKON!) He had looked vaguely familiar.

Bora and her younger sister's relationship was so realistic! It was funny how they were yelling at each other one moment, then helping/getting advice the next. Not sure of Bomi's benevolence or she actually wanted to distract her big sis lol. Leaning towards her being helpful though.

One minor thing that distracted me was Yoon Hyun Min's wavy bangs. The few strands in the middle! I just want to brush it.

I liked the first two episodes so I'll be sure to continue watching next week. I won't count the hours until then, but when the episodes are online I will watch them with the hope of more fluffy humour.

During the break-up scene where Soo-Hyuk's girlfriend lists all his faults, I briefly worried that the drama might take too serious a tone (thanks to STRANGERS AGAIN, I'm a burnt child), but it was only a brief moment.

Except for the annoying little sister, who I hope will soon really fall on her face, the characters have already grown on me. I had some reservations about Bora during the opening scene, but she doesn't seem to be quite as superficial as one might have assumed during the photo shoot.

It was a fun ride for now. I think both characters are right and wrong about relationship.

I was really sad for Yoo-Jung, hearing your husband to say he married you because he always says yes, it's just awful. The guy didn't see the issue and had to ask if he said something wrong...

Thanks for the weecap. Yes, I had so much fun, and yes it is funny. As expected Yoo In Na is adorable as Deborah.

Not much to say, just that I love Bora and Yoo Jung together!!

Loved the opening episodes, light, fluffy and some good laughs throughout. Bora's sister is an interesting character too. Looking forward to seeing more of her.

I mean, what’s an anniversary dinner compared to saving the world one chicken at a time?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 This line is making my evening @unit . Thank you.

I like the leads. This is a little too light for me, but I have nothing else I’m watching so I am giving this a go. I wish it was on Netflix though

My deranged stream of consciousness comments:

Ep. 1: I just decided to watch the first episode of this to pass the time… I didn’t expect this to be actually good? wtf? Like the production quality is great, the humour lands mostly…

while it feels like Yoo In-na is playing the adorable romcom heroine she usually does, I was mostly impressed with the ML’s storyline. Not because I like the character - he’s an entitled jerk - but that final scene was amazing; great acting, so brutal, so real and so well deserved. Hoping he gets engaging character development over the next few episodes. Although if the previews are anything to go by, he hasn’t internalized what his ex said and just blames Bo-ra instead.

Ep. 2: I could watch another 50 minutes of Bo-ra and Su-hyeok just verbally sparring and her putting him in his place. Guy really didn’t internalize anything, just blames it all on Bo-ra. Why does he think his ex sent the message in the first place? she must have been unhappy for a while… bro is just onto nothing. Character development can’t come soon enough, tho I think next week we’ll see his more decent side.
I love all of Bo-ra’s daydreams and how elaborate they get. They did it a lot, but I was dying every time she imagined he was gonna propose, with the expectations vs reality bit and the music stopping & starting… comedy gold.

I last watched Yoo In-na in Queen In-hyun’s Man and a bit of Goblin & Love from the Star. She is just as beautiful and adorable as she was back then. I can’t imagine how anyone can cheat on her but somehow men find the audacity.

her sister is another person I can’t stand. She is so entitled and spoiled, I would be happy to have less of her scenes. And army dude, “saving“ a woman doesn’t mean you are entitled to her and can follow her around…

anyways, overall, I liked the second episode a bit less but I’m still hyped for this drama. next week can’t come soon enough.

Are the only people watching this drama outside of Korea in North America ? I'm in Germnany and it's not available on Amazon and I can't even resort to "other" means to watch it because of the strict Germna laws 😭. I need a Yoo Inna romance

I have always liked Yoo Inna and she excels in this type of character. Glad I found this, as I needed a light watch. Hope this continues without any serial killer or contrived melo plot. Fingers-crossed.

Can anyone watch it from Europe?

Thanks for the weecap @unit. I am not surprised I loved the first 2 eps seeing as YIN is in this drama. The first 2 eps show a constructing juxtaposition of the ML and FL's idea of dating. Bora is right in that dating is sometimes like a job interview, you do have to state your intentions or what you offer and follow through. However, humans aren't companies.

Sincerity is important as well. The ML however got the sincerity part however he's missing the fact that all relationships have intention and expectations that you have to meet. Just thinking in your kind that you live someone would never be enough. Even the words he said to his girlfriend was so shocking. Imagine not defining your relationship and still asking your supposed gf if she's getting married. Is that supposed to be a joke? Poor Yu Ri. Unfortunately she's the cannon fodder due to be sacrificed to the ML's character growth.

I have a soft spot for cold, jerk MLs who warm up and soften over time, and IMO Yoon Hyun-min is an expert at executing that. If he made me fall in love with Ko Nan-do from My Holo Love, it'll be easy for him to make me love this ML! Even after that radio story, which honestly was horrible and made me lose a lot of sympathy I might have felt otherwise (but I still felt some because, again, Yoon Hyun-min).

I really loved the juxtaposition of the ML and FL's dating styles too, @misstia. Both are definitely wrong, but mostly because they are so extreme. Looking forward to them meeting somewhere in the middle!

I get why some folks are saying that the ML is a jerk, but that wasn't the impression I got at all. To me, he came off as a pretty confident person (he also has strong opinions in other areas of his life, like his work, and has been successful because of them) and sometimes confident people can't realize when others around them need more assurance or encouragement. It also struck me as a very realistic situation (even if it's a bit of an extreme example) - the first boyfriend I ever had never defined our relationship, and I was too young and timid to ask him to. Luckily, he went off to study abroad, I grew up a bit, and we had a very mutual breaking-off. It was only later that I realized how much I resented him for that lack of definition in our relationship, but I'm sure he had no idea I felt that way.

I'm really excited for more of this tomorrow! So far it's been exactly what I was hoping it would be - a mostly light romcom that still has something interesting and true to say about relationships. And if Bora and Soo-hyuk keep bickering, I'm not going to complain about it! I hope he's not a complete jerk about her cheating boyfriend though. Maybe this can be their first opportunity to see each other as people and sympathize a little? Before going back to being opponents, obviously!
