Looking forward to Ep. 6 - I think we will see a bit more of the "second" lead couple - the young police officer (according to a couple of articles, he may have shaman background) and the granddaughter/fortuneteller.

Haha, 6 a.m. on weekend ends is very early for me - that's why I said mornings "ruined", because no sleeping in.

Thanks - I guess more pieces will fall into place as the show proceeds.

I FF thru the scenes involving the murder of Seul Hee's dad (same as with the fishing boat - that was an obvious outcome), so am a bit unclear as to what happened. It's presumably the same night that the "evil spirit" was sealed up in a bottle - but was that shown? If someone could provide a brief summary (probably w/spoiler tag), I would appreciate it - really don't want to have to watch that scene.

Well, this is going to ruin my Saturday and Sunday mornings for a few weeks (PDT/West Coast here)😉

Thanks. I think he will be on most episodes, but taking a look at some of the clips from future episodes (see my earlier post), he's clearly not critical to the story.

SLS? Please explain to this k/drama newbie. 😊

Something to enjoy while we wait a few more days for Ep. 5

I’m beginning to go down the rabbit-hole re: From Now On, Showtime. Was trying to locate a video version of “Freak Show” OST and found this (which includes a handful of scenes from at least one future episode):

Then found this from Viu (Indonesa) which also includes scenes from upcoming episode(s?), including a bit more about our couple from a past life and several scenes w/the second lead couple – the junior police officer Lee Yong-ryeol and young fortuneteller Cheon Ye-ji.

I have read at least one synopsis that says she has "superpowers". For the time being, it appears to be latent, that is, unknown to her.

I finally broke down and purchased vpn so that I could watch final two episodes of CL in "real time" (Asia time). I also tried Malaysia and Indonesia (with no luck) until someone on this board suggested Hong Kong - and that worked for me.

I was uneasy when I read about the ghosts (mystical genre is not my thing), but in this show, the ghosts are the primary source of comedy. Really enjoying this show - very creative.

Watched this to take the place of my Crazy Love withdrawal. This is not a rom-com. It's strictly a romance and there were no secondary stories - all "conflicts" were oriented around the couple. Loved the ML character, including his dedication to his company and his sense of duty while he progressed/developed throughout the series. The actor/character kept me watching to the end. The FL? She was the same at the end as the beginning. sweet and boring. Lots of filler - this is a story that could easily have been told in 12 episodes with a crisp script. A very happy ending - better than some recent rom-coms. I see that many viewers love this show so it appears to appeal to those who love pure romance. This won't be going on my re-watch list.

Her little dialogue with the Advisor was charming.

Just watched Ep. 4 on my big TV screen w/my brand new Roku and brand new Viki subscription. (Everything up to now, including Crazy Love was on my small computer screen)I'm enjoying this show very much - the romance is classic arrogant ML and ethical FL but plenty of other back story and characters to keep it interesting. A touch too much violence for me, so giving it 9 stars for now.

thanks - show is a bit confusing, but I'm enjoying the chemistry between the ML/FL and on board for the ride.

Very confused - did I miss something? At end of Ep. 3 - the "epilogue" showed ML in practice run; then FL left for a "blind date" and he was distracted and missed a cue. Thought it would be in Ep. 4, but no??? Ep. 4 a lot of fun (matching leather jackets - how cute?). Maybe I'm not sure how to watch this show, but enjoying the ride so far.

I finally purchased Rakuten Viki so that I could watch Shooting Stars and From Now Showtime. Binging on What's up with Secretary Kim. Wanted to try out I am a Robot but it's a "plus" subscription.😪 Still trying to figure things out but next on the purchase list will be a Roku box, I think., so that I can watch on TV instead of computer screen. 😀

LOL, then the biggest "plagiarism" of all with almost all enemies-to-lovers plots would be. . . . . TA-DA - Elizabeth and Darcy ("Pride and Prejudice"). OR, going even further back in time, Beatrice and Benedick ("Much Ado About Nothing"). In other words. . . . . . .A story as old as time. I have now subscribed to Rakuten Viki and am watching: What's up with Secretary Kim; Shooting Stars, and From Now On, Showtime. Still haven't figured how to link up with Apple TV, but working on it so I can watch on my TV instead of computer screen. Cheers, Kathryn. 😀

So now that you are spoiled, watch carefully and think about what he's going through as Shin-ah "tortures him". and claims to be his fiancée.

Cattaurus, You and I have watched the same show, haven't we? That is, with the same observations, the same "filters" (that is, what's important, what is trivial). After all, you were the catalyst that got me here to MDL! Cyber-hugs.
