The precise moment I became an obsessive and helpless shipper for these two...

He accidentally gets gum on her shoe and is all gruff and defensive and refuses to apologize, but before she can really bawl him out, he does...this.






Oh my guuuuuuuuuh...

I am about to start on ep 3 btw - I have been hoarding the episodes, and rationing them like a starving person hoarding food.

It's the only drama I am watching at the moment (though I do plan to check out Operation Proposal) and I love it with the fierce, unreasoning love I haven't felt for a drama since The Princess' Man. I love the ragtag group of friends, I love Soo Ah, I love the incipient romance, I love the way that it feels like every shoujo manga dream come true and yet, at the same time, gritty and oddly realistic.

GUUUH.

It's funny, I remember being so dismissive of hearing this was being made - I wasn't the world's biggest fan of its 'theme' predecessor Flower Boy Ramyun Shop and I thought this was going to be brain-dead, shallow and soulless. I know tVN is trying to establish a brand but they really should have picked a better name! This reminds me of these wonderful school/youth jdrama from some years back - Gokusen, Kingyo Club, Taiyu no Uta etcetc. And maybe my darling Hanadan - it's much more realistic but it owns my heart to the same degree. It really feels not Korean but Japanese.

Have a shippy MV:

Omg I cannot ration at all. I've just finished ep 6 and I'm a silly happy fool right now. I fell for them when she fell into his hands instead of Byunghee's ( and BH was so funny when he said "she was supposed to fall this way" lol). I love how they have certain "fated" connections but the drama doesn't scream in your face about it. Little cute things just happen along the way that make you support the idea. And they are so functional together! They are kind, caring, and supportive to the other person.
I also love Wookyung. She reminds me of Gong Hyojin's role in Ruler of Your Own World bcuz they're both spunky and devoted but umm doesn't get the guy. I think they kinda look similar too.

I know - they are so steady and functional. Much as I adored BH, I don't think he was capable of a functional romantic relationship.
