I am unclear why Bo A's ex BF left her. My translation inferred that he was "permanently gone" but Bo A still had some regrets about it. At the time my speculation was he was in prison, deported, or dead. If it was a short, bad marriage, a divorce is not that big of a stigma in SK, unless she was the cause of it.

That is what I would have wanted as well.

Isn’t anyone watching Love Takes Two what a lovely show? It is so well written and the acting superb. I feel so uplifted after watching.
I actually watch kdramas to feel things sadness, hope, love. In today’s news and social media these shows allow me me to feel humanity again.

I liked ep 1, but I preferred the past scenes to the present ones.

Miseang has multiple nightmare bosses to choose from, we could have them do an internship in each of the worst departments.

or meet the truck of doom, but that is dangerous, they´d end up plotting new crimes together

I have the policy of not wishing harm. if they are meant to face misfortune, then they will. same my friends, they´re like bless you begone, they will attract what they are. the law of attraction.

but I do wish Putin would drop from a bridge and lose his memory.

No matter where you go or what job you have, may your supervisor always be a cross between the ones in Marry My Husband and Our Unwritten Seoul (or insert other terrible boss here).

I’ve been waiting patiently for some of these to premiere, and now it looks like they are all going to drop at once, literally on the same weekend! *sigh* Dramaland has no respect for my schedule at all!

On the plus side, The Mantis and My Youth both have cool/lovely posters, and I feel like there is no way Confidence Queen is going to be anything but a hilariously good time!

Episode 4
I know who are officially the main leads, but I can't help and the more I see of Boa... and Boa and Jihyuk together... the more I want THEM to be the main couple... and watch the story about a girl who was once madly in love (and eloped... and that's why she is not a good marriage material anymore in her circle?) and who got burnt and is now pragmatic... and who slowly builds a stable relationship with Jihyuk... who doesn't believe in marriage, but with Boa he realises that it is possible to have a respectable relationship... and love comes to them after all... and they will become happy together. Oh well.

Everyone already has thier romantic pairing in my youth so unless they want to screw it up before the pairing happens, we are good.

@trangnguyen Check this please

Can you tell us a bit more about the symbolism of the peony flower/ how it relates to the Tang dynasty? I thought the theatrical performances were very well done in FP/ITB. A good variety with things like puppets, obviously done professionally. ( I get bored with the generic ' woman twirling dance performance' that is the c-drama standby)
Changing the subject, L of ZH was confusing me, I was up to Ep 9 but have had to go back to the beginning to try to sort people out. Will do a proper post soon.

Episode 5 and 6

The "it's not you" from Yeon-A to Seok-Hoon is right but that must hurt a lot. Honestly, I don't really trust her as a future mother, everything it's about her when she didn't want kid and now she's older, it looked more lire fear to be alone than a real desire to give birth to a new being.

Hyo-Min's sister sounded way too good for a deaf person. Yeah, they can read lips and talk but they can't sound as good as she did. And I hate when they act like lips reading can replace sign language.

I hope Min-Jeong won't take the divorce case (even I'm pretty sure she will) because she got a better life, she doesn't need to confront her ex again. I think moving on is sometime the best thing to do. The woman was shameless.

I wasn't expecting Na-Yeon to come back in the firm, I hope she will make their lives hell.

Is it me or does anyone else think Good news should get the weirdest poster of 2025 award?🤨
My youth is looking so good like the scent of freshly baked bread or lemon vanilla, so please live up to expectations and be dreamy slice of normal life events with no stalker or toxic second female leads. (PLEASE, I BEG YOU).

Yes a few of us were saying the same thing. We do have some action in the hangout. I have tagged you in just in case you missed it.

@tizzy 👋🏾hopefully we will see you in the discussion here in the hangout.

I have just properly looked at the main picture for the drama and Yeoreum and the CEO are standing closest with the agency staff and then the main lead so maybe My lovely journey is actually about the manager and Yeoreum’s journeys. Maybe the romance is meant to be a small part of the story and was used in the marketing as a hook for those who like romance in their slice of life dramas.
