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:

yesss. that moment was the exact moment that sold me on shipping it. that long intense stare they share when he looks up? goddamn. i really adore their chemistry and i love both individual characters too. i've seen hate for soo ah and the actress who plays her which doesn't really surprise me considering fandom tends to hate on the ladies for no good reason at all (ugh) but i love her and i think the actress is doing a fantastic job especially since she's still a rookie.

I think fangirls hate her because she's surrounded by all these guys fangirls like, but personally, I adore her. She's a cool character - a combo of strong and vulnerable. And the actress is doing a good job.

As to the chemistry, I agree - whoa.
