Couldn’t get past the first 5 minutes ☹️

Guess they hired the subber that the script deserves????

Comedy is not my favorite genre, but this has good tonal shift between the serious part and the comedic part. The over the top comedy is not felt jarring somehow. Every character is interesting, the otp, the kid, the younger brother and his wife, father in law, the kid's friend, even manager Oh (Chae Jung-ah rocks! so cool). I guess I may continue despite bad sub and sometimes they translated it wrong, but this one script isn't too deep & complicated, right?

@Unit, thanks so much for helping us out with this one I don’t think many Beanies will be able to watch this due to the limited region release. Therefore, I don’t think there will be much activity in the comments section other than the serious disappointment with the lack of availability. Like you, I want to know the wife’s secret and I also agree that dramas showing ‘young love’ should focus on the teenage first love category and not in the younger age range.

I tried like heck to just get into the first episode that I gave up on that one. Changed gears and tried the 2nd one a little better, but not by much. I really enjoy the leads in just about anything they do, but for some reason this one did not seem to work. I am one of the very thankful ones that tip my hat to the translators of these dramas, but they were also confusing. Noting the change in music timber, dialogue going by too fast, and even when read not really cohesive? I do not know if I will stick with it or not, really bummed as had hoped for a great show.

It was messy. I was this close to talking about the messy editing, direction and production but I just had to wait.

And maybe it was the translation, the dialogue at some parts was subbed like it was a low budget weekender. It was worse than the third person dialogue we had with a character in Gaus Electronics.

I'm very hesitant to stay on this one though. And I'm glad it's only for 12 episodes. I love Jang², and Chae Jung-ahn a lot so I'll give them another week of doubt. If it doesn't improve, this might be a binge after it's all aired and whenever I have the time.

But, Manager Oh's badassery was delight to watch, I must admit. I had my fun moments, but I was too disappointed by the end of episode 2.

This weecap didn't make me want to watch the drama at all (even if I could find a decently subbed version). It seems like alot would annoy me especially the persistent baby making stuff. I remember last week or so, someone on here had mentioned dramas were subliminal messaging about have babies and getting married. I thought they were joking but this recap made me think of that. Like for what reason is it needed to have another child when you aren't even present for the one you *do* have?

I thought this was gonna be a true lies/mr & mrs smith type thing which appeals to me but now, all I can think is all the things I don't like in kdramas is probably featured in this.

Also was it his 10th time forgetting their anniversary or did he forget it was their 10th anniversary?

Oh no. I was considering watching this over the weekend. It's not really my genre but I really like the leads. Now the recaps/comments have me rethinking.

An aside, but is Jang Hyuk the last kdrama leading man left with facial hair (and barely at that)? I prefer clean shaven myself. But should I feel schadenfreude that men are suffering from the same beauty standards women face? No, bad feminist, bad feminist. ;-)

I was looking forward to this show as I had seen the male lead in Bloody Heart and his acting was superb. However, I found the show very hard to settle into only watching the first episode so far. The over the top acting when the male lead was portraying the husband was to the point of caricature which I thought detracted overall. I get that they are trying to show the difference between sniper/husband but again I personally think less is more and with an actor who is so capable why go in this direction.
The comedy comes across more cringe than funny.
I find the role of the daughter is somewhat jarring as well, being portrayed as more mature with her dialogue and actions compared to her age and I really have a problem with her story line including a love story, she is a child.
I will wait for a couple more episodes to air (and to check out other beanies reactions) to see if it settles down before picking it back up again.

My heart breaks to say this as I am one of Nara's avid fans and this is one pairing I was ecstatic to see again not only because I watched fated to love you a short time ago but because those two actors are really phenomenal.

However, the drama is chaotic. Be it the wrong subtitles that made me have a hard time understanding what is going on or the plotline. I will give the drama another chance but to me it is a disappointment.

Dropped this show midway of the first episode. It is all over the place and I cannot even understand the subs. The over the top acting, running around half naked and spouting sheer nonsense made me drop it like a hot potato.

I love the Jangs since Fated to Love You. Where can we watch this in the US?

I wonder how long it will take for people to realize that the subs they watched it were using machine translation because this drama is region locked by the legal streaming service and it has released the episodes only for K-audience who do not need eng subs. I finally understand the availability angst.

I thought I was enjoying the show as I was watching it, but I think it was my love for Jang x Jang that was brainwashing me. Once I turned it off and started thinking about it, I realized that I actually had just watched something incoherent and confusing and that much of the comedy was not that funny. The “love line” for their elementary school daughter made me uncomfortable (I did not think it was cute) as did Jang Hyuk’s character’s overzealous desire to bed his wife. I get that these things were exaggerated for comedic effect, but they weren’t done well.

I also didn’t understand his boss’s motivation for purposefully inserting herself into their family and causing friction. Like, why? What’s the point? Also, what agency do they work for that requires him to assassinate people? How could the family not hear the fight happening outside their door? How can her cafe still be in business making less than $100/day? It doesn’t make sense! Nothing makes sense!!

I’m hoping next week’s episodes start to shape things up better. If not, it’s getting the drop 😩

The lack of official or good Eng subs for this drama is disappointing!! Some of the dialogue/context will be missed.

Do Hoon is not a great guy. The mix of the family scenes and crime/action isn't completely jarring, but I liked him more during his action scenes. Maybe because it's Jang Hyuk or maybe it's because he was subdued during these parts (I feel like I wrote this similar comment about someone else lol).

Manager Oh's elevator fight scene was really good. They showed some different moves well instead of using quick, vague camerawork.

I'm still hanging on. Ultimately, they got a family problem to fix. They haven't hinted at Yura's secret yet too.

I think I may be one of the few people who’s actually enjoying this show!😅

Thank you @unit and fellow beanies because you helped me understand some of the things I could not grasp whilst following the horrible subs. Speaking of which, I didn’t want to be too disparaging of the subs, in case a generous human volunteer was behind them, but it seems like it’s fairly safe to say that they were machine-generated? In which case I can get this off my chest - they were truly atrocious!😔 I don’t think I’ll be able to watch this show without help! It will probably get harder to make sense of the subs as the story develops.

It already started airing, I need to figure out where I can watch it.

sorry but i couldn't even get thru first 10 minuts.. its way too OTT and Loud and just not my kind of drama.
dropped even before finishing first episode.. love you Jang nara but ill wait fir a bettet watch than crib watching this.

Hello beanies still watching this show👋 I need your help understanding what is happening with the whole spies-killing-people plot-line in eps 3 and 4!😳 (I won’t put any spoilers here but if what I say can be considered spoilers, I’ll remove this comment.🙏)

There are a lot of people being killed and I just can’t seem to follow why, or which organisation the targets are from, and who is on whose side!😅 There was the delivery guy with the tattoo, but now there are also people with scars vaguely in the shape of that tattoo - are they part of the same underworld organisation (in which case, isn’t it a bit weird to have a tattoo that identifies you? Surely you’d want to be incognito, rather than wearing your team jersey around?!)? Or are the people with the scar from some other group of spies/criminals? Or is the scar an indication that you’ve cut ties with the tattoo organisation? As you can tell, I am very confused!😵‍💫 Either way, isn’t having that scar on the neck a bit too obvious?!?

Also, there are probably very good reasons not to share all your intel right away, but it seems that keeping teammates partially in the dark in the middle of an operation is a very bad idea? Anyhow, any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!!

*Sigh* Maybe I’ll just rewatch Fated to Love You instead…

I really want to watch this show but the sub is so bad 😭 love both Jang hyuk and Jang Nara its been so long since we saw them together. I'll wait till this show gets a better sub.
