i haven't watch it yet coz subs took a long time until I had to rest... will watch it later... :lol:

altho I watched the kiss scene already :happy:

I tried to be as vague as possible lol

Look forward to it

Lol i came here to ask if someone suspects the dry cleaning guy and saw the bets :D I'm at episode 7 now, i finally started to ship those two, cause the first episodes i didn't really feel their chemistry. And damn with that food, my mom saw one scene where they ate fish and she's talking about it this whole week! Need to find a recipe now... 

btw i like Kyung Mi, it brings something in the scenes, i don't know, i need to check some other movies with her :)

 

edit: Hey, that's not fair, you have a spoiler in your sig :)

I was kinda hoping they would have recipes when i started to watch, but sookyung can't cook so that wouldn't make sense lol

Shield your eyes from this thread D: i do like reading your responses though

I need to ask one thing :D Do they really eat food while is that hot? I mean, i'll burn my tongue and won't feel any of the tastes, and they just put everything in their mouth directly from the boiling pot  :omg:

As far as I am concerned, because eating culture in SK encourages to eat directly from where the food is cooked (as it is considered fresher and tastier to do so) it's a natural habit to be careful, blow on the food a lot, and not keep the temperature too high when everything is "ready."

^ Now i wanna see it :/ I won't be home till Sunday, but i wanna know how Daeyoung reacted to Jinyi' kiss. Also... next week is the last episode? Why is this drama so short?!  :unimpressed:

to be fair, the series has lasted for over 4 months  :lol: but the episodes are wayy short for being aired only once a week

 

I will give the consolation prizes next week

 

 

 

I swore I will never visit soompi because of spoilers.... but I couldn't help it... :horror:

 

 

I can't wait for when DY and SK will confess their feelings for each other!!!!!!!!!!! :ahmagah:  :ahmagah: :ahmagah:  

 

 

 

Hopefully subs will be faster compared to last week... :)

I found the soompi thread just now, the community is so dedicated when it comes to dramas haha

It was obvious that they would end up together from the beginning, but I was swooning all over his evolution of feels, especially that part where he just rewatches that video of her sleep talking over and over even though Jin yi calls him out for being weird lol. 

 

I have too much of a soft spot for this drama, but if I were to look at the progression between Sookyung and Daeyoung objectively, it seems as though Daeyoung jumped to liking her a little randomly? Not that they don't match that well together, because I think they do characteristically, but he always seemed to treat her and Jinyi with the same level of closeness/comfortable aura until that convenient jealousy card struck with Attorney Kim. It didn't seem like there was anything in particular about her that seemed to spark with him. From Sookyung's end it was the Shiksa blog and her values of being food-compatible with her significant other. For him, I'm not sure. Maybe I missed it.

hm, well I think the kiss was more of a lost-in-the-moment kind of thing. He most likely realized his feelings shortly after the investigation, at least that's what I think. 

 

I was also considering that since he hasn't expressed/organized his feelings well enough compared to Sookyung, it might be just a part of his character and he was actually growing into his feelings the entire time. In the beginning, we always saw that shallow front to his personality from the compulsive lying, remaining ignorant of his neglect over taking care of himself (e.g. his apartment), being friendly to people only because he wanted to sell insurance, etc. He prevented anyone from penetrating his emotions (the imperceptible ex girlfriend from overseas; immediately turning girls down) which we were later told was because of all of the debt he had and his beliefs that he was insufficient for a relationship because of it (which is actually a kind of considerate if you think about it). 

 

This is probably why we see that sudden outburst of care and concern over Sookyung, because she appeared to be in real danger (though we do see him caring after her more and more following her appendicitis and being unemployed). I originally thought that he would do that for almost any neighbor because he'd been friendly with all the other characters at the time with buying the entire office lunch and chilling out with Jinyi and all, but I'm starting to question if it was because his exterior was melting off at the time (we don't see him lie on phone calls anymore, anyone notice?) and I want to say that it's both Sookyung and Jinyi who helped this happen (he cares about her a lot as a younger sister, definitely not a "nice neighbor" front). 

 

It's just so subtle that I'm not sure if I'm just blabbering to myself.

I know right? This is why I love it so much.

I do complain about how short it is a lot, but the length isn't too bad. I love to unwind watching this drama, it's so sweet and the drama/romance doesn't feel overbearing. 

Gurl I love you for that sig, I can't wait until subtitles

The character development in this show is just astonishing and truly rewards the audience for paying attention to detail and knowing the story.

 

Daeyoung's "sudden" love isn't really all that surprising. In fact, it fits the character so well that you almost don't realize it while watching. He is a shy guy who really doesn't like to step on toes. He keeps his distance from the females in his life (see: how he treats SK and JY at the beginning). The gradual love wouldn't make sense seeing how he treated the characters.

 

This show is really good at avoiding typical k-drama beats and this is a prime example. People go into these dramas expecting the cliche "gradual love" but this love happened abruptly. Why? Because, in real life, love is often abrupt and often happens due to some sort of trigger event. It makes sense that it took an big event for him to realize how he felt about SK. I also do think that part of why SK got the affection and JY didn't is strictly due to age (which makes sense).

 

No character has grown more than Attorney Oh in the entire series. Attorney Kim comes close but he's still basically the same exact character, just more mature. Attorney Oh is a completely different person but a logical progression of where she was when she started. Now you understand why she makes the comments she makes. Now, you understand why she was so "delusional". It makes perfect sense and I hope the little fools on Viki who made fun of her for the series now feel like complete douchebags. The actress knocked it out of the park with her crying scene btw. Just amazing.

 

Also amazing was Jin Yi's development and how you could see where she was going from the start. You knew, at some point, she was going to shed her happy go-lucky image and "grow up", in a sense. The actress that plays her was good at switching emotions in ep 15 that I could see both pure despir and pure hatred in her eyes within 10 minutes. Awesome acting.

 

I love this show so much. It does what it wants in the way it wants and doesn't fall into traps like so many other dramas do. I can't wait until the last episode.

 

 

I really loved your rendition
