I might be the only person in DB that loves LTNS but struggles with Dr Slump….

    🙋🏼‍♀️ No, you’re not! I haven’t made it through Slump ep. 2. I feel like I’ve already seen the whole show before, whereas LTNS is quite a novelty.

      I wouldn’t say I “love” LTNS, but it’s far more interesting than the same-old, same-old. I still can’t see what the actual action is going to be in Dr. Slump. I don’t need a serial killer, but there does need to be some change over time. I keep thinking of Would You Like a Cup of Coffee in this vein…that’s a show that could have been about “nothing,” but was actually about a great deal, slowly–Slump doesn’t seem to be on its way to that.

        LTNS makes me feel like I won’t know whether I love it or hate it until it’s over, but either way it has my full attention and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching it so far. Slump is clearly still on the downswing of all the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad things the leads (and we) must agonizingly, tiresomely endure 🙄 before the actual story starts. I hit pause when they started a drinking contest and will have to FF that if I’m going to make it any further. Also, “drunk friend blurting bullshit in front of a crowd” is rapidly becoming one of my least favorite set pieces.

        I dropped Coffee around episode 3. Apparently my gnat-like attention span is further shortened by caffeine.

          Would You Like A Cup of Coffee sounds right up my alley; the only problem is I couldn’t relate to it since its theme surrounds coffee making. If it was hot chocolate they were making, that might be a very different experience. I tried it twice already. Lasted maximum of 2 eps.

      Perhaps ‘love’ is too strong a word as I have only watched Ep 1-2 – but it holds my attention from the get go – and I enjoy it so much. Esom and AJH are great as they have always been. I respect the two for picking these two ‘non-traditional’ characters. In Ep 1, after what they went through with the hypocrite and self-serving friend, I’m all in for their cheater scheme. I like how the drama not really adopting a judgemental tone on those cheaters but showing their different shades of grey. The drama does have its heart department done right. It gives me smile when AJH’s character can take his family to eat at the prosecutor restaurant and treat his father to that wine he tried 30 years ago. Looking forward to tomorrow when I have time to watch Ep 3 and 4.

      Yes, Yoon Park is the bright spot in Dr Slump, and I thought he would be a lead again but…

    I can’t comment on LTNS, but I definitely struggle with Slumpie…. or more precisely, I was not much impressed, many things rubbed me the wrong way and I’m continuing mainly for Yoon Park.
