But I feel like the Iron squad gets bigger every week and beanies are really engaged with the discussion about it.
It’s nice to see that. The show deserves the love.
I love weekenders. They have time to tell a story and create really engaging characters. We are able to libe the journey with the characters which feels very satisfying. Good stories always find their audience. Good actors are a welcome bonus and make the experience more memorable.

While I had called it in the first week itself that Military Dad would totally love his potential daughter-in-law, this is certainly not what I had imagined.
How cute is Min-joo. His flirt game is A super plus 🅰️➕‼️ Uri Yong-joo sure is out of her depth. This is FUN!!
To be very honest with you chingu, my whole universe has been taken over by Lee Joon Hyuk these past two days, and I have zero attention left to give to any other actor, or show, right now!!! Just seeing the number of the episodes makes want to me cry! Why! Why only 10 episodes! Why!! 😭
Oooh this is good to hear!! I didn’t watch the original first two seasons (too dark), but this spinoff looks like one I can handle, and I LOVE Lee Joon-hyuk!!
It can be better enjoyed if one knows his history, but it really is a stand alone series.
Also beware, although it is a lot more comedic that the original, but it is also very dark! But… mmmmm, simply delicious!! I keep flashing back to my young boy in City Hall and my heart wants to burst!!
Great list Hopeful. 👍🏻 Well done. 😊 I love He is Psychometric. Jinyoung is so very good. Happiness of course you must have been aware of the awesome Fanwall Community Watch.
Kairos and Two Weeks are on my list too. I love both Shin Sung-rok and Lee Joon-gi.
Thank you @seeker!! Ooh I’m glad to know you loved He Is Psychometric!! I think Kairos will be my next mystery/thriller watch after I’m finished with Designated Survivor (which I thought would be outside my comfort zone, but it’s excellent). I was inspired by the community watch of Happiness, but I haven’t worked up the courage on that one yet 😅 Maybe next summer watching only during broad daylight??? And Two Weeks for Lee Joon-Gi ❤️
Hahaha … no worries @Midnight I know I am in the small majority who likes He Is Psychometric. It was really good … till it wasn’t and I just like to remember the good parts.
Hopeful perhaps you can put Come and Hug Me on this Try and See List. Skip the murder-y parts – same in Psychometric like I did 😅and you should be good to go.👍🏻
@Midnight I am not sure about the behind-the-scenes machinations or what prompted the drastic change but it is a drama parts of which I remember fondly. 🙃😂
@midnight I watched the trailer for Black Hole (all because of Lee Joon-hyuk), but the TRAILER was too much for me (I remember I involuntarily said *oh no* out loud while watching it lol) 😅 No zombies is a good sign for me haha! Thanks for your take on Two Weeks!! That makes me feel much better about it! I love Lee Joon-Gi, but he’s so intense with his roles, he makes things more stressful 😂
@seeker thanks for the rec… I may try it! I love the FL, but I really dislike the ML after seeing him in My Roommate is a Gumiho and two episodes of Search WWW 🙈😅
Gosh Hopeful that is just it, Lee Joon-gi is sooo good that he stresses me out. Sigh, what a dichotomy.
Both the Roommate and WWW do Jang Ki-yong no favors but Come and Hug Me is an exception. In fact I tried both these drama because of CAHM but it was not until The Atypical Family that I found a JKY drama I could finish.
There is a lot of brewing going on … discontent, disappointment, confusion, beer and apparently coffee too!! Not love as yet – hmm, still some more episodes for that it seems.
We have palpitations of three co-workers all at once confusing the heck out of uri ML so much so he cannot distinguish whose increased heartbeats he is feeling. Turns out it’s his own. 😊❤
I like this 3-second idea. Why the hell not!? Surely it takes me less than that to fall for a new oppa.
In other news, a pro tip on how to make someone fall for you.
Moon Woo-jin played young Kim Nam-gil\’s in Live Up To Your Name and The Fiery Priest. Now he is his co-star, and the reason for Kim Hae-il and the gang to go to Busan in The Fiery Priest, 2.
There is usually one drama that catches one aware. It creeps up upon you from nowhere and captures your whole heart.
Marry ❤YOU❤ is one such drama this year. While tbh I was looking forward to the drama, I was *ahem* cautiously optimistic.
However inane unrealistic the premise may be – the setting up of a Marriage Scam Promotion Department to get young individuals in their 20s and 30s married – in the end the drama is just too charming.
Of course it would not be a Lee Yi-kyung drama if he didn\’t ask the FL if she pooped in her pants.
It is truly a comfort watch. I liked everything about it.
– The ideal island 🏝 bachelor.
– The sassy FL. The introduction scene was Wow!!
– Is Koo Jun-hoe the next Rowoon. 😱 He has a long way to go there but it is possible.
– A lovable 2FL.
– The best of twins.
– No villain, toxic co-workers, irritating villages, (the are all really sweet), serial killers, trucks of doom in sight.
I do think we can just kick back our heels, curl up on the sofa and let Lee Yi-kyung\’s dialect take over.
😱😱😱 Phew!! 😅
Who told Lee Yi-kyung that he was allowed to do such photoshoots.
When she called him “Shrek” I was like excuse me, have you not looked at his arms/ shoulders/ face? 👀 🫠 More oppa for me, Lol 😆 I was charmed by the quiet niceness of the first ep… I found the FL bland, but she really sparkles with Lee Yi-kyung! He brings out the best in his costars. And the twins are ADORABLE. This may be like Dare to Love Me where we represent 66% of the DB viewership, Seeker 😂 Thanks for sharing these photos!!!! 🔥
I know!!! It seems like one of those things the writer writes before the ML has been cast, but the FL still has to say it 😂 I’m looking forward to watching ep 2… Also, how charmed was I seeing Lee Yi-kyung cooking for the twins and then for the FL? VERY 🥰
Not sure because Lee Yi-kyung says he waited for a long time. He had the script in his hand for two years. Apparently he said yes and was charmed by the script (he said it’s Fun) couldn’t wait to use dialect because he’s from Chungcheong-do too!! I do believe (even though no one expressly said so) that the script was 💯 written with him in mind.
Nonetheless I’m okay with the Shrek think because it means the FL will become an ogre too. 🥰😂
Also we cannot have *both* leads instantly fall in love at first sight. What is the drama in there. 🤷♀️🤭
I’m happy for her to wait. She is 💯 going to be jealous of the 2FL and most probably slightly insecure and possessive about Cheol Hui. Good thing the kids are firmly in her corner. 💪🏻🙏🏻
That makes so much sense!!! No wonder I love his voice and accent in this – it’s genuine! It really does feel written for him. It will be really delicious to see her falling for him as she sees she can trust him to be reliable with her heart. His teasing already shows us how he feels about her! 😂🥰 I love the kids and they love her, so she has two little allies already! 👍
Well he was 💯 more believable than most polished to perfection Oppas. I didn’t mind the Beast to Beauty (or is it Prince Charming!? 😭) transformation. Even if it lasted for less than 2 seconds. 🤏🏻😜 It was so on point and very effective. I’m in no hurry for the makeover. I cannot wait for the FL to realize how smitten she is, because she totally is!! Wanna bet that *she* will ultimately propose to him. 😂
For those two seconds, he looked SO good, that if he spent the WHOLE drama looking like that, we’d (*I’d*) be too distracted to pay attention! 😉😂 I hope she proposes to him!
Now that I have watched the two episodes I see I was wrong about the trope. In this case the FL doesn’t dislike the ML, nor she finds him annoying at all. In fact, she enjoys his company, but not in a romantic way so far.
However, for SFL it was “crush at first sight” and that adds some fun to the classical triangle.
Well she was scared during their first non-interaction 😨 while overhearing him talking about burying (someone?) and him sauntering over swinging an axe. But I think she got over it the moment she met him on that bridge. That is why perhaps she followed him home. The twins kind of sealed the deal.
The way of meeting him was not the best 😅
But she was so comfortable talking to him the first night, the same day they met… She even told him about what happened in her previous job, and about the break-up.
My first thought was exactly that – Dare To Love Me
!! 😅😂💪🏻❤ That title fits this drama to a T.
Tbh I liked the FL’s character (how it is written) much much more than the (sadly inexperienced) actress. But she is easy on the eyes, somewhat sincere and spot on – Lee Yi-kyung makes he shine. They say acting is about reacting and I 💯 thought Bong Cheol Hui’s reactions to her made her more beautiful. 😅😂
I do LOVE a drama with a guaranteed HE.
Thank you Hopeful for sharing this happy journey. It makes it all better. 😊❤
Your analysis is so good – yes, I really like how her character is written!! The actress herself is a little bland and inexperienced. But she comes to life when she’s with him in a scene! I think that also goes to show how good their off-screen camaraderie must be, and what a truly good and professional actor he is, because he is really bringing out her best in their scenes. I love that he’s getting to show more of his range with this drama. I have to admit, I was on the fence with episode 1, but I LOOOOOOVED episode 2!!! So glad to share this drama with you, Seeker!! 🤗
Of course most experienced actors make sure to support their co-stars. Even in his variety shows he is incredibly supportive. I would say 90% of her role is because of him. 😜
I haven’t seen Cinderella at 2AM. Would you recommend it.
Unnecessarily loud sound effects, jerky camera movements and dark scenes with hardly any light (I am looking at Doubt) seem to be in trend these days. Luckily here even the night scene at the island was beautifully lit. But we still have to contend with the first two.
ML was my only reason to start this and hopefully the script doesn’t let him down.
Cinderella at 2am is not a must.
The first episodes were really bad.
It got better from the fourth episode, and it has some interesting things/ideas/lines and a great OST. It’s an uneven drama overall.
While looking for promotional photographs I stumbled across these. I’m glad I was sitting down and not with a hot cup of tea in my hand because I would have 💯 scalded myself. Obviously nothing was more important than sharing them with my DB chingus, pali pali.
Me too!! My mom and I were just saying we wished Dog Knows Everything and Seoul Busters would just keep going to 100 episodes! I hope we still get more coastal setting and it doesn’t move 100% to Seoul.
Tbh the office setting had me iffy. I *hate* toxic co-workers. The Park and Garden Department gave me Destined With You vibes. I was on the edge of my seat for the other shoe to fall all though episode 1. By the next one I was 💯 relaxed and was confident that this is another drama. 🤞🏻
I wrote a whole thing and the DB spam filter decided that I used an inappropriate word XD So Iβll just say this:
Iβll add this to my βTo Watch – Kdramasβ list, but no guarantees as to WHEN Iβll watch it XD
No worries, Nessa!! But I second Seeker. I think this will be a nice one to keep in the back pocket for when you want a sweet, low-stakes comfort watch (*as long as it follows the promise of week 1*)
Maybe itβs better that the actors donβt say anything about stuff like this (lest others see it as a humble brag, cuzβyunnoβ Korea 🙄 And the next person has to one-up the other or the fan culture has made it as such) and then can just got to town and just show it 😏 Like Mr. Lee is doing here, sheesh!
And he shouldnβt be ashamed to show it! Honestly!! Heβs worked hard on himself! He shouldnβt be proud and satisfied with himself and what it took to get him to this state. Many people think itβs a vain thingβ and it CAN be, because the 1% that is the bad sees ruins it for the other 99% most of the timeβ but it also means that the person (Lee Yi Kyung) is taking the time and the steps to take care of himself which sets himself up to be healthy and well in the long run (i.e. exerciseβ unless someone can prove that he got to this state via steroids, but i doubt it)
You know your comment made me topple over into the speculation territory.
What if the twins are not related to Cheol Hui at all. When he went to the columbarium we saw his parents, not his brother or sister who may have been the twins’ parent. I think he saved the twins from some accident, hence the scary looking scar on his back.
I THOUGHT THE VERY SAME THING, @seeker!!! Evidence: no sibling in the family photo. Therefore, I’m assuming the twins are either (A) his own children and his wife/ fiance/ girlfriend died in whatever accident he saved them from, or (B) maybe he got out of a gang (those scars and that preview) but a hyung didn’t, so he’s raising his friend’s kids. Lol I can’t believe how invested I am to be spending time theorizing already 😅
@seeker I think you’re right. Even if he was worried about the villagers’ reaction to him being a single dad, I don’t think he’d ever let his own kids grow up thinking he’s their uncle/ calling him uncle instead of dad. So we have a mystery on our hands! 🕵♀️ Lol I never get this passionate about theorizing about top-tier dramas haha! 😂🙃😆
IKR!? It is these sweet, simple ones which capture our hearts. I have no doubt your prediction is true after all your prediction for Dare To Love Me was spot on – down to the confetti!! 🎊 😂
You know I really loved how empathetic and understanding Cheol-hui was of the failed blind date. I loved him teasing the FL that she would have to take responsibility of him.
@seeker I think the children are not his, but maybe the scars have something do with them.
Maybe he saved them in a life-or-death situation, while the parents sadly died.
I think it’s not in the north America Netflix 🙃 I found it already in the 24hours section of Kocowa! But that means it will also disappear from the free area after 24 hours…
There are still quite a few months of his military service left. Perhaps we may be able to see Kim Min-jae back on our screens only towards the end of next year, if not the year after. 😅
We hope he’s doing well and comes back to an interesting next phase of this career.
10 episodes of DOUBT is undoubtedly enough imho. Not prepared yet to call DOUBT my 2024 βStinker of the Yearβ but the hard bean I earned staying with it will be awarded to Jang Dong-yoonβs LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND (5 stars).
Hmm β¦ I am bored and I know it. But I canβt really show it. And I forgot I am supposed to βactβ to be interested and not bored out of my skull.Β Β
Like most Beanies I too was worried about the drinking more than the brewing parts. I am still not sure what is the tone that they are going for, but this strange little drama (as different from The Business Proposal as chalk from cheese) has some amazingly deep and frankly refreshing conversations.
The OTP’s conversation in the mountain in episode 3 when Min-ju shared his backstory was rather touching. It may have felt a little weird how it was filmed but Yong-ju telling him that he was not weird just kind was a beautiful moment. The whole dialogue was so sensitively written. She said not everyone can be kind, knowing their kindness would not be reciprocated. No wonder Min-ju fell headlong in love with her. 😂 He is amazed that (perhaps for the first time in his life) a person understands him so well.
Even in episode 4 the way Min-ju described how the flavor of the hops which are 1% of the volume of the beer decide it’s flavor was such a well-written scene. I have seen (even IRL) how people always describe “life” in terms of their profession. As a person who has always been called out for being over-sensitive I can empathize 😉😂 with Min-ju. I 💯 agree that a person’s personality is influenced to a large extent by their sensitivity.
I like how Min-ju is realizing his feelings for Yong-ju. Both these people deserve understanding and love. I am rooting for this OTP.
#1 – The brewery owner’s name is ν¬λ (podo) which means grape. Translation courtesy Google Lens. The name is usually subtitled as “photo” which again could be possible considering how much the ML enjoys photography.
That is so interesting about the catβs name! It is definitely subbed βPotoβ on mine, which is why I was confused by your previous comment. I think both would work, honestly.
Looks like LMH and Wookie would be a perfect match. The formerβs optimism is enough to keep them both happy, and theyβll need the latterβs poutiness (is it a word) to slow down and stay down to earth 😂
Absolutely. It is just like a petulant child being a brat. 🙄 The pout is only for effect – to melt fangirls’ hearts – no actual sadness is involved. 😅😂
Rowling’s speech to Harvard guys! .. and it was so apt for them.. but they didn’t like it because they just don’t want to be lectured by someone who did not go to Harvard..
Beanies are *always* hopeful that by dramaland logic and magic (Annarasumanara) ALL K-dramas will have a HAPPY ENDING!! After all it is a tried and tested trope, no!? However sometimes we are blindsided by a tragic ending.
While the very premise of Mr. Plankton is that we have a terminally ill ML we can hope for a love-cures-all ending, right, right!?
Honestly I would have waited to binge if it was a weekly drop but with a single drop … I cannot help but press play ▶️ at the ending of episode 10.
This is to help me watch peacefully knowing where we are headed and just enjoy drinfting along with the titular Mr. Plankton – Hae-jo and his ex (and maybe future!?) girlfriend / wife 🤞🏻 Jae-mi.
So, where are we headed yeoreobun … let us see below 👇🏻
Ending Spoiler
Sadly love is *not* able to cure uri Mr. Plankton.
Continued below …
It is a beautiful scene. K-dramas do death exceptionally well. It is scary at times. The ending reminds me of a quote I read once that every successful love story ends with the death of a partner. Morbid though but I get where they are coming from. I think Hae-jo and Jae-mi had an eventful journey and probably even got married – Hae-jo is wearing a ring.
So there we are folks. In case you would like to know the ending before playing >press< to temper your expectations like me, here we are. 😄🙃😊❤
This is enough for me. 🥰 But apparently a drama is not publicized enough if they don\’t have a larger than life sized poster covering a freaking building!! Tut, tut poor office workers cannot even take a peek outside their windows at work in Glory Studios. *smh*
Of course a poster on the side of a bus is a given. 🚌
The sponsors, Disney, and the production company just tossing money at it like itβs nothing 😱
Companies do the βletβs cover the building with our adβ thing for their spokespeople many a times and itβs 💰
Hoardings and even buses are okay but covering a building for a (let’s be honest here) niche drama is just burning money. Whoever is interested will already see it – world over. Nothing can be gained by covering a building in Seoul like that other than harassing the occupants of the building.
Yea, I agree. But itβs Korea and Koreansβ once something makes it big and becomes a trend, they go ham and can be really obnoxious and inconsiderate. Thankfully, I think such window coverings actually have pinholes up close, so it at least lets some sort of daylight/sunlight through. Buses here in my city always have these hug ads on them that also cover up the windows but the sun and daylight isnβt obstructed

There is usually one drama that catches one aware. It creeps up upon you from nowhere and captures your whole heart.
Marry ❤YOU❤ is one such drama this year. While tbh I was looking forward to the drama, I was *ahem* cautiously optimistic.
However
inaneunrealistic the premise may be – the setting up of a MarriageScamPromotion Department to get young individuals in their 20s and 30s married – in the end the drama is just too charming.Of course it would not be a Lee Yi-kyung drama if he didn\’t ask the FL if she pooped in her pants.It is truly a comfort watch. I liked everything about it.
– The
idealisland 🏝 bachelor.– The sassy FL. The introduction scene was Wow!!
– Is Koo Jun-hoe the next Rowoon. 😱 He has a long way to go there but it is possible.
– A lovable 2FL.
– The best of twins.
– No villain, toxic co-workers, irritating villages, (the are all really sweet), serial killers, trucks of doom in sight.
I do think we can just kick back our heels, curl up on the sofa and let Lee Yi-kyung\’s dialect take over.
😱😱😱 Phew!! 😅
Who told Lee Yi-kyung that he was allowed to do such photoshoots.

When she called him “Shrek” I was like excuse me, have you not looked at his arms/ shoulders/ face? 👀 🫠 More oppa for me, Lol 😆 I was charmed by the quiet niceness of the first ep… I found the FL bland, but she really sparkles with Lee Yi-kyung! He brings out the best in his costars. And the twins are ADORABLE. This may be like Dare to Love Me where we represent 66% of the DB viewership, Seeker 😂 Thanks for sharing these photos!!!! 🔥

November 17, 2024 at 1:03 PM
In what world does Lee Yi Kyung resemble Shrek? 🧐
But no problem, it seems it could be one of my favorite tropes (when FL totally dislikes or ignores ML in the beginning).
HopefulRomantic π¦ Tigermoth π¦
November 17, 2024 at 1:08 PM
I know!!! It seems like one of those things the writer writes before the ML has been cast, but the FL still has to say it 😂 I’m looking forward to watching ep 2… Also, how charmed was I seeing Lee Yi-kyung cooking for the twins and then for the FL? VERY 🥰
πΈ Seeker πΈ
November 17, 2024 at 5:37 PM
Not sure because Lee Yi-kyung says he waited for a long time. He had the script in his hand for two years. Apparently he said yes and was charmed by the script (he said it’s Fun) couldn’t wait to use dialect because he’s from Chungcheong-do too!! I do believe (even though no one expressly said so) that the script was 💯 written with him in mind.
Nonetheless I’m okay with the Shrek think because it means the FL will become an ogre too. 🥰😂
Also we cannot have *both* leads instantly fall in love at first sight. What is the drama in there. 🤷♀️🤭
I’m happy for her to wait. She is 💯 going to be jealous of the 2FL and most probably slightly insecure and possessive about Cheol Hui. Good thing the kids are firmly in her corner. 💪🏻🙏🏻
HopefulRomantic π¦ Tigermoth π¦
November 17, 2024 at 6:15 PM
That makes so much sense!!! No wonder I love his voice and accent in this – it’s genuine! It really does feel written for him. It will be really delicious to see her falling for him as she sees she can trust him to be reliable with her heart. His teasing already shows us how he feels about her! 😂🥰 I love the kids and they love her, so she has two little allies already! 👍

Well he was 💯 more believable than most polished to perfection Oppas. I didn’t mind the Beast to Beauty (or is it Prince Charming!? 😭) transformation. Even if it lasted for less than 2 seconds. 🤏🏻😜 It was so on point and very effective. I’m in no hurry for the makeover. I cannot wait for the FL to realize how smitten she is, because she totally is!! Wanna bet that *she* will ultimately propose to him. 😂
HopefulRomantic π¦ Tigermoth π¦
November 17, 2024 at 5:34 PM

November 18, 2024 at 2:27 AM
Now that I have watched the two episodes I see I was wrong about the trope. In this case the FL doesn’t dislike the ML, nor she finds him annoying at all. In fact, she enjoys his company, but not in a romantic way so far.
However, for SFL it was “crush at first sight” and that adds some fun to the classical triangle.
Looking forward to the next episodes 😊

Well she was scared during their first non-interaction 😨 while overhearing him talking about burying (someone?) and him sauntering over swinging an axe. But I think she got over it the moment she met him on that bridge. That is why perhaps she followed him home. The twins kind of sealed the deal.

@seeker
The way of meeting him was not the best 😅
But she was so comfortable talking to him the first night, the same day they met… She even told him about what happened in her previous job, and about the break-up.
That’s unusual in k-drama FLs.

My first thought was exactly that – Dare To Love Me

Tbh I liked the FL’s character (how it is written) much much more than the (sadly inexperienced) actress. But she is easy on the eyes, somewhat sincere and spot on – Lee Yi-kyung makes he shine. They say acting is about reacting and I 💯 thought Bong Cheol Hui’s reactions to her made her more beautiful. 😅😂
I do LOVE a drama with a guaranteed HE.
Thank you Hopeful for sharing this happy journey. It makes it all better. 😊❤
HopefulRomantic π¦ Tigermoth π¦
November 17, 2024 at 5:28 PM
Your analysis is so good – yes, I really like how her character is written!! The actress herself is a little bland and inexperienced. But she comes to life when she’s with him in a scene! I think that also goes to show how good their off-screen camaraderie must be, and what a truly good and professional actor he is, because he is really bringing out her best in their scenes. I love that he’s getting to show more of his range with this drama. I have to admit, I was on the fence with episode 1, but I LOOOOOOVED episode 2!!! So glad to share this drama with you, Seeker!! 🤗

Episode 1 sometimes gave me Cinderella at 2am vibes (the bad ones, because that drama had good things too), but fortunately it gets better.
I could do without the continuous sound effects, though.
ML is the main reason to keep watching it ❤️

I haven’t seen Cinderella at 2AM. Would you recommend it.
Unnecessarily loud sound effects, jerky camera movements and dark scenes with hardly any light (I am looking at Doubt) seem to be in trend these days. Luckily here even the night scene at the island was beautifully lit. But we still have to contend with the first two.
ML was my only reason to start this and hopefully the script doesn’t let him down.

You know your comment made me topple over into the speculation territory.
What if the twins are not related to Cheol Hui at all. When he went to the columbarium we saw his parents, not his brother or sister who may have been the twins’ parent. I think he saved the twins from some accident, hence the scary looking scar on his back.
HopefulRomantic π¦ Tigermoth π¦
November 18, 2024 at 3:25 AM
I THOUGHT THE VERY SAME THING, @seeker!!! Evidence: no sibling in the family photo. Therefore, I’m assuming the twins are either (A) his own children and his wife/ fiance/ girlfriend died in whatever accident he saved them from, or (B) maybe he got out of a gang (those scars and that preview) but a hyung didn’t, so he’s raising his friend’s kids.

Brewing Love
Like most Beanies I too was worried about the drinking more than the brewing parts. I am still not sure what is the tone that they are going for, but this strange little drama (as different from The Business Proposal as chalk from cheese) has some amazingly deep and frankly refreshing conversations.
The OTP’s conversation in the mountain in episode 3 when Min-ju shared his backstory was rather touching. It may have felt a little weird how it was filmed but Yong-ju telling him that he was not weird just kind was a beautiful moment. The whole dialogue was so sensitively written. She said not everyone can be kind, knowing their kindness would not be reciprocated. No wonder Min-ju fell headlong in love with her. 😂 He is amazed that (perhaps for the first time in his life) a person understands him so well.
Even in episode 4 the way Min-ju described how the flavor of the hops which are 1% of the volume of the beer decide it’s flavor was such a well-written scene. I have seen (even IRL) how people always describe “life” in terms of their profession. As a person who has always been called out for being over-sensitive I can empathize 😉😂 with Min-ju. I 💯 agree that a person’s personality is influenced to a large extent by their sensitivity.
I like how Min-ju is realizing his feelings for Yong-ju. Both these people deserve understanding and love. I am rooting for this OTP.
#1 – The brewery owner’s name is ν¬λ (podo) which means grape. Translation courtesy Google Lens. The name is usually subtitled as “photo” which again could be possible considering how much the ML enjoys photography.

Beanies are *always* hopeful that by dramaland logic and magic (Annarasumanara) ALL K-dramas will have a HAPPY ENDING!! After all it is a tried and tested trope, no!? However sometimes we are blindsided by a tragic ending.
While the very premise of Mr. Plankton is that we have a terminally ill ML we can hope for a love-cures-all ending, right, right!?
Honestly I would have waited to binge if it was a weekly drop but with a single drop … I cannot help but press play ▶️ at the ending of episode 10.
This is to help me watch peacefully knowing where we are headed and just enjoy drinfting along with the titular Mr. Plankton – Hae-jo and his ex (and maybe future!?) girlfriend / wife 🤞🏻 Jae-mi.
So, where are we headed yeoreobun … let us see below 👇🏻
Ending Spoiler
Sadly love is *not* able to cure uri Mr. Plankton.
Continued below …
It is a beautiful scene. K-dramas do death exceptionally well. It is scary at times. The ending reminds me of a quote I read once that every successful love story ends with the death of a partner. Morbid though but I get where they are coming from. I think Hae-jo and Jae-mi had an eventful journey and probably even got married – Hae-jo is wearing a ring.
So there we are folks. In case you would like to know the ending before playing >press< to temper your expectations like me, here we are. 😄🙃😊❤

This is enough for me. 🥰 But apparently a drama is not publicized enough if they don\’t have a larger than life sized poster covering a freaking building!! Tut, tut poor office workers cannot even take a peek outside their windows at work in Glory Studios. *smh*

Hoardings and even buses are okay but covering a building for a (let’s be honest here) niche drama is just burning money. Whoever is interested will already see it – world over. Nothing can be gained by covering a building in Seoul like that other than harassing the occupants of the building.

Yea, I agree. But itβs Korea and Koreansβ once something makes it big and becomes a trend, they go ham and can be really obnoxious and inconsiderate. Thankfully, I think such window coverings actually have pinholes up close, so it at least lets some sort of daylight/sunlight through. Buses here in my city always have these hug ads on them that also cover up the windows but the sun and daylight isnβt obstructed

💯 All that that silver thread on the jacket sort of mutes the white against black but also gives shineness to the white.
