Sad day indeed! Sadder on the manner of his death. May his soul rest in peace. Group hug to fellow fans here.

Thank you for the recap, @starrygazer! How much do I love Hae-joon with Dad Yoon! The smile on Hae-joon's face when a customer commented that "father and son look so much alike" made my day. Moreover, I love how both Dads support each other for every decision they make. But I also want to know how come Hae-joon worked part-time when he had a rich dad?

Oh yes, the ML's are totally wish fufillment. (Males who show emotions IRL are 'weak') Also the strong women who the ML's love. (Because IRL strong women are not 'attractive' and not women people fall for)

I did watch the actors say this is not just about romance but also about friendships, so I am sure our new team gonna become BF after spending time on making new beer! My understanding it is gonna be about growth and healing so I am sure this also involve our man family too.

- Someone on Twitter was talking about the Korean men's rights movement and how bad the misogyny is there currently. The discussion included a comment that the nice men we see in kdramas are women writers engaging in wish fulfillment.

I've actually been wondering about that one, too. After watching on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Im4YAMWK74 (it's two parts and long but so very worth it) about Gacha Drama and the Korean Gender War, it seems like a plausible theory - the Kdrama MLs (and SMLs) are a blueprint for what women actually would want in a guy.

Very very sad. Rest in peace.

I remember him from Clean with passion for now (the funny SML) and All that we loved (he was one of the MLs as an adult).
A long time ago I started Thumping Spike. He was the ML in that drama. But I don't know why I didn't keep watching it.

Healer - JCW is fantastic in this and The Worst Of Evil. It really makes me wonder why he chooses roles like his character in Welcome to Sandalri which is pretty average and bland in comparrison. I wonder if that was his mortage payment drama?
