So far, I really like this show. It seems like a proper screwball comedy- including the satire, irony, parody and sardonic dialogue which are actually necessary elements to that long-neglected art form.

I loved these 2 episodes. I liked the comedy, their bickering and both their characters so far. Let's see how it goes.

Hehehe, life is full of ironies for sure and they are aplenty in this goofball of a show, so far. I love that everyone is a dork in their own way and I'm here for this.

What I will not do for now is go into all the reasons I like these two episodes and just enjoy how it made me feel. Unlike some beanies, I loved this pairing and this premise from the get go and I will ride this wave to the end ❤️...hopefully of the show and not a premature death midway through!! For now, I'm in love and enjoying the mostly non slapstick humour (yay for wit for us intellectual girlies) the backstories, themes, entire cast and the leads.

I feel like I haven't seen Shin Mina in ages! She is lively and captivating in this role, even in the shorter, solemn moments. Her character is calculating, but not cruel. I was totally on her side when she talked about fairness like the girls' dodgeball and boys' soccer games and playing area.

I like that Ji Wook is not a doormat and nice to everyone. His straightforward lines killed me whenever he talked to Hae Young or when he talked to the black suit guy and his terrible breath lol. The bickering was pretty good, not too much.

The reversal of the wedding outfit reveal was nice when it was the lady's turn to be stunned by the man's gorgeous transformation (not that the change was hard, hah!).

Excited to see the sister trio and their relationship bonding and healing. Also their adult conversations were a plus. I hope Ji Wook isn't a total newbie when it comes to love and lust.

@unit: Thanks for your recaps- they are as funny and well-written (possibly more?) than the show! I am now looking forward to the next eps just for more of your writing :)

Thanks for the recap @unit
This drama has presented itself so far as the Ronseal of K drama world ‘it does what it says on the tin’. It is a rom com so it gives us ridiculous Ally McBeal style imagined scenes, a secretary/boss love hate relationship and conflict scenes that are all laugh out loud funny. It gives us heartwarming scenes with the male lead doing acts of kindness to the elderly and unloved animals. I really loved the genius strategy for information sharing in the community. They promote products by having them blatantly on sale in the convenience shop . Kopiko with the instant hit of refreshing energy is back front and centre alongside some in your face cigarette sales. Only Doona was this bad for cigarette PPL but at least in this drama it does artistic shots of smoking so it’s not so annoying. There is only one other person we see Jiwook show disdain for and he also smokes.

These two opening episodes really reminded of Be melodramatic which is in my top ten K dramas because it mixes laugh out loud funny, and in your face PPL with well developed characters with realistic backstories and a beautiful found family. I am really hoping that next week’s episodes will confirm that we are going to be given what we signed up for and not find ourselves blindsided with another mystery romance selling itself as a rom com.

Finally! A rom-com that I actually find really fun, and that I think has interesting storylines and characters. I've had absolutely no luck with rom-coms lately, so this one really feels like a breath off fresh air.

There were probably about 50 subplots introduced in these first 2 episodes, and while the show could easily become overwhelmed with them later, so far I think this is a good thing. It makes it feel like all these characters actually have a part to play, and aren't just there as window dressing.

Also, is that spicy scene from Ja-yeon's romance story the kind of thing we can expect from the spin-off? Because I could get on board with that. Interestingly, that scene was apparently too spicy for the censors, because I've seen a slightly different version float around on Twitter, which has a few additional shots that were somehow missing from the episode I watched.

Shin Min-Ah is back!!! She's perfect for this kind of role.

I liked the motivations of her character and her big imagination. I could understand her frustration as a kid, it wasn't the kids the issue but the way her mother didn't really include her.

For Kim Youn-Dae, I think this role is perfect for him because he doesn't really to act big feelings for now, just dry humor.

Clearly, it won't stop just to one wedding :p

@unit thanks for the great recap! Show is shaping up to be super fun with genuine laugh out loud moments while still managing to keep it real and well balanced.

Thanks for the usual witty recap, @unit. These episodes did have a sort of rollicking, uneven humor to them that made these episodes a lot more dynamic than a few of the other recent rom-coms I watched.

I like the triumverate of women, although I wish the one I assume to be the second oldest, Cha Hee Sung, didn't have a cheating boyfriend, since there was already one too many of those for my tastes. The younger innocent Nam Ja Yeon writing soft core porn was pretty funny, as was her rich Mom fan.

I found Son Hae-young a somewhat more complex character than the usual FL. Her Mom trauma, caused by jealousy of the foster children, supposedly generated too great a fear of "missing out" and has made her at times unpleasant to been around. But we've seen in fact this "fear" is in fact a legitimate sense of unfairness of some of her circumstances. So she's not really that loveable, but at the same time, you know that she will be.

I find Ji-wook a little less interesting, and a bit more cliched as the sensitive male lead who looks after stray cats and I think his "mystery" is probably that he is the half son of Chairman Bok or something like that. Still, I loved that transition from a nerdy convenience store clerk to a model that makes women swoon. It was a fun ending to that episode!

Overall, I'm looking forward to seeing how this one moves forward!

I liked it so much I'm scared. LOL

Yay, @Unit recaps! *hilarity ensues* 😂👏

We really started with some truth bombs here. I shortly wondered where the “boys are allowed to play football, what about the girls” + the interview questions about sexual harassment at the workplace were going, but I liked the outcome of both scenes: setting up both characters well, leaving not many questions about their motivations and beliefs.
I must say I was also a bit surprised by the boldness of some of the jokes, paired with the obviously steamy romance novel scenes presented by her author sister. Is this really a kdrama? Well, yes it is, since I already spotted both Kopiko and Subway PPL. (And capsule coffee makers.) Moving on!

The three sisters already have all my attention, and I especially love seeing Joo Min-kyung here again. She always stands out to me in any drama she appears in - maybe because of her beautiful voice. How fitting she gets to play a voice actress in this!

I don’t see yet how they will likely tie up every possible plot they kicked off in the end, but I’m really intrigued to see! There are just so many characters already, and even though their relations were already laid out, where does the current CEO come into this right now? What about his secretary and the youngest sister? Will sleazy ML neighbor reappear as a running gag? Cannot wait to continue with this show. 👏👏👏

Ps: how come the convenience store’s doorbell always chimes in exactly the right moments to deliver the perfect comedic sound effect? It’s magic. 😂

I'll be the first to admit I had grave doubts about the lead actors together (and about Shin Min-ah), but those were gone by the end of these episodes. These two can keep grumping and snarking and showing unexpected, hidden thoughtfulness toward each other for the next 10 episodes and I'm here for it.

Hae-young may be scrupulous in her gain/loss calculations but she's got just enough of an out-of-control side and enough self-doubt for each fantasy sequence to be believable almost to the end. Ji-wook is hiding something (besides a whole Kim Young-dae) under that wig. I wonder if there’s going to be a Dal-ja’s Spring-style revelation about our convenience store angel. The flashback to grandma (yay, Kim Hae-sook!) doesn’t suggest that, but it doesn’t rule it out either.

I don't know if the way the lenses in Ji-wook's glasses keep appearing and disappearing from one shot to the next is supposed to be funny, but it kept me amused. The callbacks to other shows and movies are fun, too - like Woo-jae turning into an animated octopus the way the same actor's character was a squid in Business Proposal. Twisted tropes are the best tropes and I hope the show can keep subverting them in style.

Sometimes the best dramas are the ones you watch without great expectations. Apart from Sh**ting Stars, every other drama with Kim Young-dae more or less disappointed me. Fortunately, he seems a bit more lively and motivated here.

FL is right up my street. I love that she doesn't take any crap.

The funniest bits are the spats between FL and ML and the little nasty things from both sides (the handprints on the freshly cleaned door, the cigarettes, ...)

Refreshingly, it is shown that couples do more than just holding hands. I hope NGNL keeps this up until the end.

Loved it!! Loved it all!!! I rewatched the episodes already and it’s such a delight. If a right mix of quirk and heart. I loved all the characters and their interactions.
I could watch an entire drama in the convenience store!! Their banter was such fun especially knowing they have been at it for six years!!
Funny that he is aware of all her exes.
Please let him not be a chaebol secret child 😂

And thus the dashing broom, aka groom arrives, fully backlight to a BGM of gasps!!! he’ll yeah, I gasped too!!!

@unit This is an expected great recap of an unexpectedly funny drama. I was 100% confident that I would drop this drama midway through Ep 1 because I had 0% trust in the ML's acting, but this turned out to be the best rom-com among recent releases. KYD looks good in the shabby hairstyle with or without glasses. It reminds me of OG kdrama hairstyle from old days. Glad that Lee Sang Yi will not repeat a love triangle with SMA and his relationship with his secretary is everything.

I was angry with the message the drama was sending to the young generation in th scene where the ML gave the FL a cigarette when she was down like its the trendy version of "holding an umbrella when raining or handing a hanky when crying". It is clever that the drama is getting money for the smoking PPL even if it is for making jokes on it, but I hope the drama addresses the ill effects of smoking more sternly.

I loved it. Laugh out loud comedy, with a side of romance was a great start. Of course, I think it's pretty obvious whose son the ML is going to turn out to be, but I'm okay with it.

…her two-timing ex says he will only pay back the congratulatory money she spent at his wedding at her own wedding.

But that is NOT paying her baaaack! He was going to be socially obligated to give her that money anyway! She wants a refund for her money, not just to play the social game as normal!!!!! This illogical interchange was too much for me and threw me right out of the story.

Deifying Kim Young-dae in a wig in glasses, however, makes tons of sense.

I actually found this kind of dull, I am giving it the 4 episode watch, but it hasn't done much for me. I seem to be the only one, lol.

Surprisingly fun, occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, full of charming actors, and not afraid to advocate for the female orgasm (yes, if he gets three, you should at least get one). What's not to love? Right now, this one is ticking all the boxes for me.

Dang I want to watch this so much, especially after reading everyone's comments about how good it is but I don't have Prime so I really hope it will pop up somewhere on the dark side.

I like it alot so far.. Super funny and relatable.. I am glad because Kdramas have been dragging a bit lately so its nice to get a fun show.

I’m loving it so far. Love the chemistry between the leads and the writing is great.

Also loved the cameo by the ‘UNNNIE’ guy altho he wasn’t in the same scene as her 😄

The rave reviews here made me check this out and wow, I am really loving it so far! Still on ep 1 though

Actually stopped reading @unit's droll recap, looked into availability and started watching. Lurking hubby called from another room, "What are you laughing at?".
It has been a long time coming - me laughing out loud at a Kdrama. I'm getting nervous that the screwball writing will run out of steam but am willing to hang in for wherever we go with this goofy bunch of characters.

I was laughing out loud! I thought so called "angelic" plot would be so cringe but it is seen as endearing and believable. Both the ML and FL are soooo good at playing the goof and comedy it just clicks. Cant wait for more episodes! Hope they keep it up!

I will go and read everyone's comments, but just had to say- that this is the show that got me out of my kdrama slump.

I loved the first 2 episodes, and I love love Hae-young. I don't know why but I felt so much for her younger days when all she wants his her mom's love and attention and mom is busy looking after everyone but her.

Love the sisters dynamics, and the writer and her fangirl so much.

Please please don't have a disappointing ending.
