So, I don’t know if I’m crazy or not, but I’m thinking of re-watching Dinner Mate (obviously with applied use of the FF button). Am I nuts to do this? It’s just that as I did the 2020 Round Up, I couldn’t shake my firmly held belief that both Doo-hee and Hae-kyung (and also, frankly, Seo Ji-hye and Song Seung-heon) just deserved so. much. better. than what that drama gave them. My magical thinking is that if I re-watch, somehow the show will be better all around. This has no basis in reality, and yet here I stand, about to do it. Life is strange.
I somehow understand this feeling 😄
Last year I rewatched Temperature of Love and before my rewatch I had the same sentiments. I loved Temperature of Love when it aired, but it had some really frustrating moments. Knowing what would come I could enjoy the drama even more while rewatching. It was simply easier to ignore the frustrating stuff.
So, give it a go 😉
Thanks for this! It makes sense that it’s easier to ignore the frustrating stuff since you know it’s coming – and can hop right over it and just enjoy the good parts. 😊
This is so me. The 2020 wrap up made me realise how genuinely amazing these two were together. They weren’t ” fated” through some random childhood connection but they met each other and bonded so well. They deserved way more screen time than they got
How much more wonderful it could have been had the show really be dedicated to the OTP getting to know each other and growing their relationship! I will try to embellish via my imagination as I re-watch.
Rewatching APoYM reminded me that JHI-CSB really were the loveliest couple (yes lovely, the word just fits them so well), so yeah go rewatch w the FF button at the ready.
You’re not crazy.
And I think the experience of watching it with the FF button will make it wonderful. No Exes, no Keanu, only sassy DoHee and hot and sexy HaeKyung… It can’t be better.
These two are one of the OTP with the best chemistry in all dramaland. Unfortunately they ended up in the wrong drama.
Amen. Maybe they will get a second shot at another drama together?! I would sign up RIGHT NOW to watch that! I know I’ve said this before, but when the casting was announced, I was really happy for Seo Ji-hye and looking forward to seeing her as a leading lady in her own drama. I wish she had been better served, but I look forward to her next project!
