Premiere Watch: Brewing Love

Time slot: Monday-Tuesday
Broadcaster: ENA
Genre: Rom-com
Episode count: 12
Global streamer: Viki/Viu

Reasons to watch: To be honest, they had me at Kim Se-jung — but then they threw in Lee Jong-won (whom it’s been a joy to follow as he climbs ranks) — and I can’t think of any casting that makes me squee so much at just the thought of it. With Kim Se-jung as our “queen of liquor sales” and Lee Jong-won as the reticent brewer whose business she must woo, this premise has all the markings of K-drama magic. Squeaky cute casting. Super niche and weird premise that’s just dumb enough to become something truly wonderful.

Important to note: the drama re-pairs Kim Se-jung with the PD from Business Proposal, so yes, all eyes on this drama to see if they can pull off that magic yet again.

TL;DR: Kim Se-jung and Lee Jong-won squabble over alcohol and I cannot wait

„… weird premise that’s just dumb enough…“ 😂👏🤣💯

Oh my, how could I not notice this premiere severely clashes with my schedule?! I won’t be able to watch until the next weekend I suppose (GAH!), but until then will cross all fingers and toes that this will be good. 🤞(Also might need to stay off DB to go in as unbiased as possible. I know it will be hard not to peak at the fan wall for everyone’s first ~~squees~~ ~~booos~~ impressions!)

Kim Se-jeong and Lee Jong-won make a cute couple, and I also hope she and PD Park Sun-ho can recreate that Business Proposal magic. But if they can't and the leads continually get blackout drunk, then I'm here for Baek Sung-chul.

I think this is my next live-watch. Am I going to be burned with a downturn in the last half? Probably, but hoping the cute leads will pull me through!

I like both actors, Kim Se-jung is better for this kind of role than serious ones.

I just hope the drinking scenes will be limited.

Don't break cutie Baek Sung-chul's heart!

Looks like a cute little romcom~! Hopefully, it's a nice antidote to the Monday blues!

Love Kim Sejeong, such a warm and talented actress. I can't but smile every time I see her in a drama, she has a warm personality and is so talented in so many different fields. How can you not admire this irrepressible survivor?

Kim Sejeong is a true survivor. How she remains so warm and such fun after everything she's been through is astounding. She has such a positive screen presence it's always fun to watch her. I do wonder what she would do playing an antagonist, how she would use her natural warmth and sense of fun to drive an unlikeable character. Sadly at this isn't on Netflix UK, I may never get to see it. I'm so p**** 😂!

I will give this a try for the cast, but I don’t drink alcohol so I am not sure I can handle the drinking aspect. I think it depends on how often they get drunk. Considering I always am annoyed at drunk scenes and fast forward, not too hopeful. (Why can’t they just confess, kiss, or make a baby sober so we don’t have the stupid it-was-a-mistake trope?) But Kim Se-Jung! Business Proposal pd! Will it work if I imagine they are selling soda?
