Very well said!

I wonder if he knows (the grandpa that is) how crazy she really is. Also, if she was so hung up on Ji Hyuk, I am surprised we didn't see her at the hospital. I was expecting to see a confrontation between Yura and Ji Won at the hospital. These dramas are always known for that kind of scene.

So I am catching up finally, was a bit behind and only on episode 13 right now. First of all, I don't particularly care for the Yura character and the actress playing her, I don't know I just am not feeling it at all. I know they are sort of following the original source novel, but so far the whole Yura plot story is falling flat for me, very unneeded in the drama. I don't think we needed another antagonist in the series. The drama is still good, if I am ignoring the Yura parts.

There just is to much going on right now. ..... all the stories at this time: Yang and her husband's situation (and her with cancer), the meal kit plan is being messed up, Sumin and Min Hwan's "marriage", Ji Hyuk getting hit by a car now, Eun Ho and possibly Hui Yeon getting together (which I so hope happens), and now Yura and her evil vindictive self.

What does she really add to the drama, except more angst? And I don't understand her why is she trying to go after Ji Won, when Ji Won told her they broke up and she didn't know they were together?

There are quite a few differences from the webtoon. I read it follows the original novel (that the webtoon is based off of) more than the webtoon. I have read the webtoon and am just now starting reading the novel and I really like the drama. All the actors/actresses are portraying their characters so well, which makes it so much more entertaining.

especially with that mother of his

LOL, I forgot about her checking her panties moment, that was funny.

That scene in the water was crazy psycho vibes and she is truly doing an amazing job with this character.

LOL!!

if they follow the webtoon or the novel she gets even more crazy

Your thoughts perfectly align with mine. So disappointed in the 2 you mentioned as well, when I initially was excited about them.

Also having to buy said dinners or drinks sometimes with no choice of your own.

I am from the US and these are few of the cultural shocks that I experienced when I first started watching:

1. The Oppa reference and how everyone calls each other brothers/sisters (even when they are cousins) and aunts and uncles even when not related. It took me a long time to get over the brother/sisters thing, before I realized it is what they do.
2. Debts, I never understood how it is a family members responsibility to pay off the debt of another family member when they had no idea or even a close relation to the member of said debt or even if they are close, but it wasn't their debt.
3. Hitting (especially in K Dramas), I don't get why it is okay to go around hitting each other, like the bosses hit the employees and they parents hit their kids over the head or even other kids.
4. The extreme shyness of PDA (public display of affection). I guess growing up in the US it is not that huge of a thing, but in a lot of these dramas you see how they get embarrassed or really shy if it is even a forehead kiss. And can someone explain why it is a big deal when a man/guy/boy rubs the top of a woman/girl's head?? Never understood the significance behind it, but it seems important.

I am sure there are others, but these are the main ones that always stuck with me.

I think they start school later in the day and also I have see a lot of them take what we in the US call Prep classes or more advanced classes after school. I have also seen it mention so many times that even the work people will be out at midnight and say hey want to grab a bite to eat/drink, etc even when they have to work the next day. I would be in bed if it were me.

The inheriting of parents/siblings debts always got me. I am from the US and this drives me crazy about dramas, like really you would go after the children for their parents' debts even though they had nothing to do with it.

I notice that too or even in the work dramas, you will see the bosses hitting the employees like it is ok. That is so weird to me and a bit aggravating to watch.

they may now, but they couldn't for a very long time, all S. Korean entertainment and even exports were banned, because of politics.... China was opposed to the plans that the US had to build something in S. Korea...big political thing..

Ahh, I forgot about that one. I did read about it once. That definitely would be great to watch. There is also another PMY and Zhang Han drama that they did in China, I want to see as well, Braveness of the Ming.

Which drama? The only one I know of that JCW was in was Whirlwind Girl S2 and you can watch that on Viki.

Ever since Marcus announced it airing on LaLa TV, I have been scouring where I can watch it and right now you can't find it anywhere.

A few things to note:
1. This drama was filmed in 2016, also before China's ban on Korean artists in their dramas. The ban happened, so this drama could never be aired at the time. There are a few other dramas like that.

2. Before ZZH's ban they were considering and/or they were set to replace PMY with a C Drama actress. Luckily LaLa TV is airing the original.

3. ZZH got blacklisted in China in August (I believe) of 2021 over something stupid (imo). Since then he has been working on his self. He also has done a few concerts and fan meet and greets, internationally ( Malaysia and Bangkok, to name a couple). All have been sold out. It also looks like he may be coming back to China soon as I saw he has a concert scheduled in Hong Kong in February.

4. There hasn't unfortunately been a lot of info about the drama at least for us international fans. Especially since PMY actually has another drama airing right now as well.

Anyway, I can't wait til I can watch it. Hopefully it will be soon.

your welcome, I just started reading it and my first time to use Yonder, so I am not sure how many chapters you can read for free if there is even a fee, so I am using for the moment and hoping I can read the whole thing free.
