I can tell Kim Jung Hyun is a good actor, but his performance in this was way too makjang for me. He's so over the top and it doesn't gel with the rest of the drama; it just felt out of place. To some extent that can be explained by the character being totally unhinged, but to me it came across like he was doing too much, to the point where it occasionally became comical and made me laugh despite the serious tone.
I think they underestimate KDrama watchers and how much we hate badly localized titles. The worst one recently…
The English title for WLGYT is excellent and much more appealing and eye-catching to English speakers than "Thank You for Your Hard Work" would have been.
(And the titles _do_ relate to one another. The expression the English title refers to is about hard work - specifically the making of lemonade from life's lemons/challenges.)
Who's the actor playing Wooseok's computer-savvy friend? I can't find him in the cast list. 🤔 (It looks like Yoon Jae Chan from Twinkling Watermelon. If so, someone should add him!)
Not sure exactly what mass psychosis is happening below with regard to Kim Bum, but he does *not* have the visual to be ML in a romcom in 2026. And certainly not with that dye job. 😭😭
I can only imagine this must be some sort of residual love from an ancient drama like Boys over Flowers, because there is no other logical explanation. He's not even been ML in anything in literally forever.
Thank goodness there's no Romance. it's about time this guy picked something different.
I wouldn't be too sure just yet. There are some hints in the articles about the "changes in the relationships among the cooking show participants" and how ML and FL "become entangled" in the competition, where "chemistry blossoms among it all". Sounds like slight romance to me.
Like she had any hand on deciding who will be the male lead 🫢
MDL doesn't follow billing order and the synopsis suggests FL will have more to do with Moon Sang-min's character, since she falls for him. Meanwhile Lomon's character is described as an outsider and a lone wolf, so it seems he, at least at the start, will be more of a SML plot-wise.
For a farmer, his skin sure looks fair and smooth. I knew some farmers from the local farmers' market. Since they…
I'm sure a young farmer who works in cosmetics knows all about SPF and sun protection, and actually cares about being diligent about it, unlike most farmers working outside. 🤣🤣
