"no doubt will continue to be in severe denial for some time after he has properly fallen for her"

Oh drama gods, give me a hard, hard fall! Gimme a proper satisfaction of seeing arrogant insufferable male leads falling hard on their tooshies, lololol.

As I previously wrote, I think Seoung Jae will wind up with Su Jeong, Eun-O's friend and cafe owner. There was a brief moment in episode 3 where Su Jeong seems crushing on Seoung-Jae while consoling Eun-O.

It was fine, I was hoping for more, but seeing get so easily beat up by the bad spirits was pretty sad, lol.

Drama trope of "The Nile" is one of our fav in any self-respecting romcom lol

Go on, keep denying...the fall will be harder 🤣🤣

Re: After all, they pegged the FL as an old hag at the ripe age of 27! 🤣🤣

Honestly, that's one of the funniest and (most natural) comic running gag!

DaebakGrits, thanks for the recap !

Zodiac Angels vs Evil ? Sounds good on paper , the animation setup was convincing. The execution along with my expectations fell flat . The Angels are without superpowers, so here are some fist fights with minions in a parking garage . 😵‍💫
Pig Man arguing with a dog 😟
A short series , it’s a merciful thing . Aigoo.

I hope the subject of Zodiac Angels is revisited with a better script as it should have made for some good fantasy.

Bring on the tropes! This sounds light and fun and it’s Mon-Tue! 🥳
Nice that Jinyoung gets a turn being the strawberry farmer, since he was the only one that didn’t get to do it last time 😂

That scene (when he launched into the personal questions after eating her perfectly sous-vied steak) read to me as one of the first steps in him falling for her - thinking of the old 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach' adage.

But of course he would be entirely unaware of that at this stage, and no doubt will continue to be in severe denial for some time after he has properly fallen for her...😬😈

“It's petty with a capital P”

I don’t know what is it about petty male protagonists that is so hilarious and (for me, personally) quite appealing. Maybe it’s a George Costanza effect, like we are putting the Seinfeld’s hilarious sidekick into the body of hot Korean actors. …Who knows, lol! But everything about this King, all his little petty avenges against the heroine, I find it funny as hell!

“ROOOOOOOYYAAAAALLL FAAAAVOOOOR!” 😂😂😂😂 *smack in the head* 🤝🤝🤝

@hacja

I hear you.

For me, it’s easier to separate fiction from fantasy because my focus tends to be tightly shaped by expectation. If I’m expecting an isekai-style light rom-com with food porn, I can set aside any conflicting emotions as long as the series delivers on that front (and this particular show does.) In those cases, I can laser-focus only on those aspects.

By contrast, shows like Tree With Deep Roots or Six Flying Dragons would be harder for me to compartmentalize, since my expectations for them are as serious, epic dramas about real kings. So with BAYM, I don’t feel conflicted - I simply treat it as pure fantasy. I’m curious, though, to see how they’ll handle the more “historical” elements as the story goes on, and how that will play out in the end.

This is as unclear as unclear can get.

Same. The fight scenes in this sort of good vs evil story always make me wonder why that's the only way of representing "doing battle". It's more dramatic? For me, it becomes predictable and monotonous. I'll stay for PHS. I do like his wings and how he sweeps aside anyone who gets in his way.

From Nam Goon-min to Jinyoung... What happened, Jeon Yeo-bin?

This felt a bit like a movie chopped into pieces. With only 8 episodes and a short run time, I fear that it won't live up to expectations.

Agree that Seongjae's father will not be pleased with the idea either of his offspring marrying Jihyuk's siblings.

When will get more on his stepmom's mysterious interest in Eunoh? Will another wrench in his plans with her turn out to be that she's another sister?

Another name that is recycled is The Lynx Group (most recently in the recently concluded EAGLE BROTHERS). Not only is the name recycled but we get to see the exact same logo and even the same dummy wearing the same sports outfit in the office.

I do not know if Yeong-ra is Seong-jae's stepsister or his half-sister. Seong-jae's mother is never mentioned. Either way his father is likely to object to Yeong-ra being with Su-bin's brother. However, he has effectively trapped himself into accepting Su-bin as a daughter-in-law given the deadline made to Seong-jae. He cannot even claim that Seongjae does not know her real character given how long Su-bin and Seongjae have actually known each other- he practically watched her grow up and knows her family very well. Now that Su-bin wants to marry and Seongjae essentially has to marry they are a very natural pairing once Song-jae understands that he is not going to be with Eunoh. The only question will be which of them will hit on the desirability of the match first. Note that at this moment Su-bin does not have Song-jae on her radar even though he is the one man that she knows who actually matches what she says she wants. This is a good thing because she first needs to figure out what marriage really means beyond a set of perks.

PD from Kidnapping Day
FL from Vincenzo
Joo Hyun-young who has been an asset to shows like Extraordinary Attorney Woo & Story Of Park's Marriage Contract

Sounds promising so far, but Chaebol succession (again) and moving to small town (again). I'll have to try it anyway.
