'It's Okay, Roommate' Official Thread (SBS Roommate Season 2)

[Aryu]

The embassy part was slightly boring, but Gook Joo saved it. I actually liked her in this episode a lot more, especially when she was on stage, such energy! She seems to initiate a lot of the funny parts, such as in the car, at the embassy, etc. Her comment towards Nana was a little rude, but in a teasing way. Still, wasn't she directing it towards Nana AND Youngji? Why is everyone fixated on Nana..unless I misunderstood it. 

Nana is so pretty, I feel like people (aka Gook Joo - and I love her so no hate) feel justified of making fun of her for it, but I don't know if Nana has a strong enough personality to take jokes towards her looks, as that's always sensitive for girls no matter how they look. I'm sad she hasn't been as sassy as in the beginning of season 1 since people complained, but I hope she brings a bit of it back!

Youngji is so..shippable. As is Jackson! Together they're so funny and cute, like some comedy/drama couple with insane musical talent lol. I ship Youngji with Kang Joon too, and Sunny with Ryohei, while I ship Jackson with Gayeon and Gook Joo^^ But Jackji is the main one! 
I just wonder how the show will treat the pairing; the Romeo & Juliet part seemed like they may be getting pushed together, and I hope that doesn't ruin things.

It'll be interesting to see if the new improved time slot will up the ratings. I really hope so, more people need to bask in the glory that is Jackji :')

Any idea when subs usually come out? I tend to watch it on Dramafever but it takes aages and I can't wait >.

[Aryu]

Usually it take almost 2 days after Roommate aired, so if Roommate aired in Sunday at 3 PM KST the english sub in subscene come out in Tuesday around noon (KST)

 

I can't wait too... probably watch it raw first 

Haha that's what I just did! Relied solely on the story line and Jackson's sporadic english to make sense of what was happening XD

[Aryu]

Did the time slot already change? If it didn't that may explain the low rate..

[Aryu]

The three actors left over from season 1. I don't want to be mean as maybe they were really entertaining that season but none of them are offering much value in season 2.

 

If the show must have actors they need someone like a Kwangsoo or a Cha Taehyun someone who is naturally funny and always outgoing. Otherwise they are just gonna get stuck in the background with all the new loud personalitys there.

Minwoo was actually a lot of fun in the last season, especially with Kangjun and Gayeon, but this season he's been so quiet...it's really weird actually.

[Aryu]

I hope he's just tired from his drama, and not actually as depressed as he looks!

He just looks so....miserable all the time:/ I feel like he'd gain a lot more popularity by trying to get over the driving incident and returning to his fun self. He does come across as jealous of Kangjun sometimes, but I feel Jackson is giving Kangjun a run for his money anyway, and Minwoo has a lot more charm/humor than Kangjun imho (not Jackson though haha).

[Aryu]

Definitely missed Youngji this episode, but I loved the girls' outing! Nana is so funny but I did feel slightly bad for Sunny..she seems so tired but still laughs it off.

Ryohei is a surprise favorite of mine, he's actually really adorable in a slightly..nerdy way??

No love line...so no forced romance but genuine chemistry? Sounds good to me XD

[Aryu]

The mud scene and the dance-off were seriously so funny, I was laughing like Youngji :D The low ratings baffle me..Korea is missing out!
Also, Ryohei as got some moves. Damn, son.

[Aryu]

It makes me sad that the ratings are so dismal 

[Aryu]

Who'd have thought a show whose target audience is mainly young (working) adults and school-age kids would do worse at almost midnight on a school/work day in the middle of the week than it did on Sunday afternoon?

I wonder how much the geniuses at SBS who make these scheduling decisions get paid, coz I reckon even my five year old niece could do better. And she only charges a handful of candy, two at most.

Well that's ridiculous 

[Aryu]

The whole Minwoo situation is honestly just so awkward...even if he's gone working, they could at least mention him or something. It's like he doesn't exist for a solid three episodes, and then he randomly appears all of a sudden. There's definitely ways to bring him in more, but they just...don't.

Honestly, they might as well just kick out the members who barely appear, because when they do it's like "oh...oh right you actually exist" and it's kinda awkward. I feel like a smaller, tightly-knit group would be better, but maybe that's just me.

 

The constant guests are kinda annoying, too. I'd rather have more focus on the 'roommates' doing random fun things, than the person of the day to appear, help out with some mundane chore, and then leave again. There were only some rare guests that I actually felt improved the atmosphere tbh.
