I see our resident Goblin’s been out on trips… Must be nice to be immortal (nah, they all want to be human anyway).

I feel so bad for Ji-pyeong: the one day he takes a sick day and then everything\’s gone down in flames when he returns.

But atleast he feels recharged and is ready to tackle the problem with a clear mind.

Rest if you must!!!

THEY WON BECAUSE THEY CONSIDERED YOUR ADVICE WITHOUT LOSING SIGHT OF THEIR VISION. DO NOT DOUBT YOURSELF MY DEAR BOY. THEY BE UTTERLY LOST WITHOUT YOUR GUIDANCE, M’KAY?

Quick Start-Up episode 11 rant:

Why, why did they have to make In-jae drag Do-san in her argument against his dad? Like, she could\’ve ended her speech with \”I want to make the future a better place\” and dropped the mic right then and there.

Also, why is dad targeting the service provider and not his employer? Isn\’t it unreasonable to expect innovation to slow down (because it won\’t)? Isn\’t it the responsibility of the company (and society on a bigger scale) to aid the workforce to adapt with innovation? And besides, I imagine that while AI security would be great at initial detection, human intervention would still be necessary to confirm the alerts (not to mention that it would take long to implement).

Is this supposed to be an emotional moment because why am I just ticked off? Lol.

    It’s supposed to be a very important message -that innovations also have their ideal pace (the validity of such message is unknown to me), but the show failed convey such message in a realistic manner. That was why you couldn’t feel invested in it.

    That was my whole point with this scene. I mean: he’s targeting InJae and not his company, and he’s targeting her after he refused to have a meeting with her when she was going to give explanation about the app.
    This happens everyday in every big company: as certain jobs are now don by machines and not people. Big Data it’s called. You have to fight your employer, not the one providing the service.
    Just a plot device.

    Kdramaland is FULL of really pretty ladies. Trust me, I’ve been paying attention 🙂

    It is fortunately not quite so full of people whose mere existence reminds me of Arthdal. Cringe.

      Arthdal is nowhere near my To Watch list, but seeing the comments mentioning it, I’d better stay far, far away.

      I find myself getting mesmerized by all the pretty as much as the handsome!

    I’m happy that BoGummy can now add Gong Yoo to the list of hyungs who will dote on him and love him…. YOU CANNOT MEET AND SEE PARK BO GUM AND NOT LOVE HIM—IT IS A SIN TO BE SO

      Admittedly I only watched him in Reply 1988 and Roaring Currents, but his (too short) appearance in Hyori’s Homestay 2 made me fall in love!

        Lee Hyori’s reaction to meeting him was too, too cute!! And even though his stay was him helping out and serving others, I’m still glad that he got the chance to get a few days off from his regular schedule to do something more quiet and relaxing, away from the busy-ness that comes with the city life

    I keep a list of the dramas I watch, but never write down the year.

    The two things I stare at, pause for and wait eagerly to see – KSH’s dimples and NJH’s arms. We need more of them if you ask me.

I sincerely hope that the public would be kinder to Do-san this time around, now that we’ve got his backstory.

Gosh, remember his parents bragging to Alex about him compared to his perspective?

Well Beanies, here’s some Monday motivation from Nam Do-san who recently decided to embrace himself in all his nerdy glory.

FIGHTING!

    “I dress like this.” That was a fantastic moment! I was so proud of him that his sweatshirt was actually an act of confidence and not a sign of defeat like I thought when I first saw it.

    I actually think writer-nim knows how much people love Ji-pyeong character, so the shots taken here were directed at the viewers. Look at him communicating with us with those eyes. Ahh.. fan service. I like it, now give me more. 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣

We can always love him without hating on Nam Do-san. Spreading Dimple good cheer all around! ❤️

For those watching 1N2D, is there any episode you would recommend in particular? I’m in need of some variety laughter for my upcoming days off 🤭
