This has the potential to be a coherent and more pleasant drama of the quality of Bad Memory Eraser, with no poop jokes! I was laughing throughout, though maybe not with the show but at it. You must have loved the cat hammock, though. Does your cat have a hammock? If not, why not? Doesn’t every cat deserve a cat hammock?
I’m really looking forward to the next episode. The only problem is the election tomorrow might end the nation as we know it, which would kind of put a damper on joke kdrama watching.
I was also reminded quite some bit of BME–but I honestly liked a lot of that show. Not the plot or the direction or the acting or anything, but the characters. Well, almost all the characters.
Here, the cat was playing Cola to perfection. Brown, and when lying down…distinctly poop-shaped.
In truth, I both hope and don’t hope the show settles down a little bit. I hope it will because this amount of “frenetic” will get old, fast. But I also hope it won’t because I don’t want all of this hullabaloo just to be the “first episode expensive CGI” syndrome and then the rest to become “typical rom-com.” I get that these two are “Better Together” as the outrageously obvious last scene quite literally put on my screen for me–but him helping her feel what she needs to feel and her accepting his sensitivity and becoming his shield against the overwhelming world…the success of that is going to be in the details, I think.
One non-alcohol technical glitch.
Not that it is against the law (so to speak) but having lived almost 8 years in NYC (2013-2021) and love my bagel and lox as much as the next guy I have never seen a bagel eaten the way our boy Min-ju (LJW) prepared it for breakfast. Presumably that was cream cheese he put on both sides, so far so good, but then to put both halves together like a sandwich and munch? Nope! One half at a time please.
No way that boy eats two bagels for breakfast either. No one eats two bagels for breakfast, especially those who are trained not to feel full unless there was rice involved. We all learned quickly from NGNL that having pastry (ugh!) for breakfast is a sad, sad thing.
I presumed his breakfast was one toasted (or maybe not) bagel cut in half. He put cream cheese on both sides and then put both sides together like a sandwich. Bad form!
(LOL do I have to go back and rewind episode one to that scene to see if I got it right?)
Having not watched NGNL I had no idea it contained a polemic against pastries for breakfast. There goes the Danish (and not the people).
The minute after 39m50s. Two entire bagels on the plate 😉
It dawned on me after I hit send that maybe this is the show referencing his time in Germany. LOL. Like the Germans eat straight-up carbs for breakfast. Where’s the cold meats??? Where are the cheeses? Where’s the muesli?????
TWO really? Oh, my. Thanks for the time stamp. I will check it out.
(On the other hand, our Min-ju is so thin (is skinny considered not an appropriate description theses days?) he has got to get some meat on those bones of his so he should probably eat whatever he wants.)
Sadly, I’ve been known to eat two bagels for breakfast, especially when there is cream cheese and lox available. No pastry, though. Unless you call the Pop Tarts our Mom used to get us as a “special treat” pastry. (Are they still making Pop Tarts?)
@marcusnyc20. I noticed how skinny Min-ju was as well. That’s a problem with verisimilitude right there. I’ve met a lot of brewers, and I can’t recall ever meeting one that’s truly slim. I think a little extra around the middle is an occupational hazard.

Of course there are still Pop Tarts. 🙄 Next you’ll wonder if they make apple pie anymore.
