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?

oops that was a misquote from Titanic! it's supposed to be, "It's been 84 years..."

It's been 90 years... and I can still hear the sound of clams in the drama Pasta clattering around a non-stick pan over a too-high flame (the thought of overheating non-stick pans made me wince) and the FL's shy "yes, chef".

@isagc huge overlook on Youku's part.

Mimic game looks so hard, esp if when you're paired up with someone you don't vibe with. I assume there could've been some... scripted help to ensure OTP doing well, but no amount of cheating would've work if they were truly on entirely different wavelength during it.

Really? Guess fauxcest genre restraints got in the way... We need more "leads are married from early on" dramas, honestly, it opens so many doors right away!

The main romance feels rushed. I know San-ha always had feelings so it's not really surprising. But I wished they knew their new self better.

I'm more interested in Dal and Hae-Joon. I think they shared more their feelings and they're funny together.

Nothing in Joo-won's job is convincing... her café/pâtisserie is pretty empty and we don't really see her working, it's not an easy job.

The mothers are so selfish... Fortunately, the fathers are still lovely!

I wish there had been more romance, but alas those mom's are back it. I knew something drastic had to happen for Hae Joon's mom to just disappear, "killing" someone would do it. I want San Ha's mom gone, the woman is a cancer. UGH

Absolutely!! It is their job to make is believe in the characters they are playing but some actors just play themselves. 😅 Now that is a real stressor.

I'd love, love, love to see a special episode of Hello Saturday with Story of Pearl girl cast 🤩

About Rise of Ning cast, it is amazing how they managed to win the mimic game (I still have to see the rest of the episode).
But their chemistry in the drama it's not outstanding, imo. Probably because the characters didn't help the with that.
I think Wanyi had better chemistry with Wang Chu Ran in Hidden Charm.

I hate you, Gong Yoo. You are so charismatic and take YEARS between dramas leaving viewers desperate for any crumb. No matter how weird your drama choices are, we can't wait to watch you. Ugh lol.
