Kim Sabu, but as a restaurant owner, can't wait to see it.

1. This is a good pairing.

2. I have SO MANY misgivings about this drama, and HSH is adding to it. There is no romance in SL, none, he doesn't even know she vaguely likes him. The CGI budget has to be massive for this, I just don't know how it will translate.

3. hmmmm

4.Excited

5. Excited.

yeah, that. like teenagers.

I like Dorotka's idea also. I like the father's plan to become an electrical technician. While I understand while he might want to push further into being an electrical engineer as he used to work in the office it might actually be more healthy for him mentally and physically to stay a technician if only because it is something new for him. He should study fulltime to do this as soon as possible and then, yes, perhaps he could help his son.

As for the cliff-hanger- it is almost a tradition in Weekenders.

Episode 8

Ji-hyuk settles in at the café, where he converts the storage room into the office for his new business, having been inspired by the help he provided to a newlywed couple while he was out of town and motivated by his determination to live a different life but apparently with no shortcuts this time. Eun-oh is upset at this turn of events as she wants nothing to do with him. Her business is picking up as well. We have now completed the full introduction to their story.

Ji-hyuk is not ready to meet his family again which puts Seongjae in an awkward position when Su-bin tells him that she had only chosen him as a model because her older brother was not available (while Ji-wan is good looking he does not have the look she needs?). Su-bin wants two more modeling sessions because her YouTube subscriber base exploded when the first one was posted to the internet. Seongjae is upset with her because his face was insufficiently blurred (and her friend even added hearts at one point) and people who know him can see that it is him and now she wants more? “You’re old enough to negotiate now?” he asks. Which is the whole point to this scene: When he first met her Subin was a teenager in high school but now she is old enough in more ways than one. He has yet to see that he has and expresses visceral emotional reactions to her in a way he does not around others, including Eun-oh. With Eun-oh he walks on eggshells while he feels free to express his anger to Su-bin: Eun-oh is a fantasy while Su-bin is real. Yoon Hyun-min, who plays Seongjae, is giving us a first-class portrayal of our shy Chaebol heir while Shin Soo-hyun, who plays Su-bin, is portraying the vivacious and outgoing Su-bin who is exactly the woman that Seongjae needs to put color into his life. I think that our writer is making a lot of sense with this story line.

Here is one possibility for Seongjae’s father sees the YouTube video and decides that he wants Seongjae to bring Su-bin home to meet his family. This would be a fun situation.

Less fun and almost tragic is the awkward situation of Ji-wan and his new charge Young-ra, who is Seongjae’s little sister. He now sees her vulnerability after his initial angry reaction and his attitude towards her has changed. In the end their story can go nowhere because her mom will find him unacceptable while her dad will object also on the grounds that Ji-wan is Su-bin’s brother. Remember, he has to accept whoever Seongjae chooses to marry, regardless of family background: This is the downside to his ultimatum to his son. He is in no such position regarding his precious daughter.

Honestly, I was so washed away by politics than the happy events didn't really reach me...

Ga-ram> He didn't have to run away, he could have been operated at the beginning (why coaches have to be healthy? Everybody can be sick...)

I-Ji> Honestly, none of decisions made sense. She should have chosen way before if she wanted to be an athlete or a coach instead of giving up in the middle of 2 competitions. She shouldn't date Ga-ram because he had no reason to ghost her like he did. She had no respect toward herself, she let the coach, the vice-principal and Garam using her.

The vice-principal> He wants medals but made a scandal during an important competition for one of his athlete? They couldn't wait for the end? It's a sport about focusing and they let him barge like this, nice for the other athletes...

U-Jin> She should have dated the cute Mun Ung! Not the stupid captain who made Garam lying for him, who wasn't really good at being captain.

This drama was disapointing. They should have focused on the cute kids like in Racket Boys instead of bad adults.

it is infuriating and annoying but at least entertaining and how to say, bit ironic? scenes like putting your own shackles back on and locking them etc. negotiating with "designated evil villain". she is nifty. and the king is, well, a fruit of his era I suppose. however the mommy line is icky. like cmon. dont like her bc of THAT like PLEASE

I think that Ji-hyuk's joint decision with BoA was the far better decision for both of them. While we will never know what really happens next for BoA my bet would be on the whole thing turning sour for her within a few years. It would have turned out well for Ji-hyuk as well.

Instead, we will get a different story- so be it.

Seongjae is a good guy and genuinely crushes on Eun-oh but is not right for her except as a friend.

The writer is showing how Seongjae actually clicks more with Su-bin and Ji-wan than he does with his best friend. Ji-wan is talked into the driver/bodyguard role by Seongjae and of course we got the supremely cute modelling session with Su-bin. His relationship with her is growing very organically. When his fantasy about Eun-oh evaporates he will be shocked to find that Su-bin has already taken up residence in his heart- and is a far better fit than Eun-oh.

frankly, My Youth looks weird bc Song Joong ki doesnt age well enough to play a young version.

1) Why is it a fantasy drama?

2) I find funny the second actor named in Solo Leveling adaptation is for Chae Hae-in because the romance is the weak part of the story. The ML wasn't really a romantic or showed any interest in women. The only connection that made sense for me was with Lee Juhee.

3) Drama for the eyes :p

4 + 5) So JTBC will release on Friday My Youth with 2 episodes and on Sat-Sun Hundred Memories. It's not like we already have a lot dramas on week-ends >_<

Her exchange was about RJY but was with Hyeri.

Yes I actually notice the cold blue tones straightaway cos I quick scrub the movie just to get a sense of the look and feel (and XZ lol) the colours are depressing and he looks grimy hahahaha! 😂

Byun Woo Seok and Han So Hee will make a gorgeous OTP... but she's quite the character in the instagram exchange (was it) with Ryu Joon Yeol turned me off - such unnecessary cattiness, my gawd.

eye candy drama, i guess. it's been awhile for BWS to pick a project since Lovely Runner, i hope the wait is worth it.

I quite agree that her personality felt different.

@joanna

Because winter is already depressing, especially when S.A.D. hits (Seasonal Affective Disorder— I love winter, it’s one of my favourite seasons, and even I will get S.A.D. at some point, usually around February— so you don’t wanna pair that up with a wintry, cold, and blue drama (there’s literally a blue-like filter in some parts, like at the beginning episodes of THE UNTAMED, kid you not). The plot is already written to be a depressing one to begin with, so why go further down that rabbit hole?? Rabbit holes aren’t fun unless there’s adorable bunnies at the bottom, like Xiao Zhan 😍😍😍

For traditional alternation of past and present timelines, I like Just Between Lovers. For wackier timeline shenanigans, God's Gift: 14 Days and Hello, Me.

Re: Time is my catnip.
Same here! Hence my deep love for all time travel, time slip, parallel universe plots.

Circle is still one of my all-time favs - the emotional punch oh!

RE: it’s probably not the best drama to watch in the dead of winter🤣

I want to grab Jihyuk (and the writers) by the shoulders and scream at them for that cliffhanger. I wasn't expecting a sudden declaration of undying love, but I was expecting more than what we got.

I'm glad he called his mom and I'm also glad she finally broke down with dad.

I think Dorotka might be on to something about a family business... maybe dad's plans to go into electrical + Jihyuk's construction management (?) + Eunoh's interior design will all come together.
