TBF more than the age gap, since the drama wanted to be portrayed as a serious drama with serious (in their professional life) leads, it would be out of character if Yun hit on KHM barely months after meeting her as her boss. If the episode covered several years, then the relationship would make more sense? Like with the second couple? Eventhough we barely knew their characters, the 2nd couple is supposed to be long term bestfriends.

With EAW it worked well because Attorney Woo was partnered with someone with a similar/ lower power dynamic than her. (Also who could resist their adorkableness?🤭🙈)

Their relationship transcends beyond a typical corporate relationship. It's the beginning of a new chapter-it's too early for them to try a relationship with eachother but in the longrun...may be🤔

The ex asking for a roommate is quite fair TBH. A dog is a huge responsibility, specially one like Hash who is used to a very protective and pampered environment (it's implied that the ex worked from home so he couldn't have been left home alone for that long).

Seeing as Yun has terrible work hours, it's fair enough to demand a responsible adult to help him look after Hash the way he's used to even when Yun's not around.🙈

Honestly Yun should have seen the loophole she gave him and just hired a full time house maid/ nanny if he didn't want a roommate.😅

Exactly

Oh…is it usually available on Wednesdays? If yes, ideally you should be able to access it soon!🤞
(I have access to NF’s SE Asian region - Wednesday weekly schedule and it was uploaded today)

She’s still naive and really young - harsh reality hasn’t hit her yet (her mum seems pretty nice too so family related trauma is probably unlikely too) 🙈

Netflix - Yes

Wasn't it the honey trap- or rather get the other contact to find a way to end the new partner's reign?

I wasn't that interested in that sub-pl9t so wasn't really paying attention to it😅

I'd rather say it's the opposite.

At the beginning she was overconfident and naive- with a blanket "black and white" approach to cases.
As she continued to work there, she began to see the darkness...that not everything is what it seems and the law can be cruel at times so she needs to find ways to adopt to it while finding a balance between her morals and the client's interests.

For instance, with the sadistic CEO, she shouldn't have tried to play detective the moment she realized who he was. One of the reasons why she froze when he touched her inappropriately was because she didn't want to jeapodize her client's case. If she punched/ pushed him away, that would give him the freedom to inform everybody that she tampered with the case. Touching was extremely wrong but she wasn't in real danger at the time since she was in public. It's awful, but that was the least offensive option available for her career/ victim's case at the time.🫠

I feel like the tyrant part is mostly the way how history has portrayed him. Afterall history is written by the winners (and he apparently lost eventually).

Haha exactly! I was surprised to hear (or read) how annoyed you felt about him when you aren't usually this vocally against actors in the comments section 🙈

TBH i have a strange connection with Honey Lemon Soda- for years I've been meaning to try it but I keep forgetting 🤣
And now I've low key outgrown that genre🙈

Still might have a peak 🤭

The plot is interesting since the characters aren't one dimensional.

An ambitious host with a learning disability and a girls catholic school teacher yearning to change her life cross paths with eachother in conservative Japan.
What could possibly go wrong right?

We get to see many layers from the side characters too. It's not a fluffy love story. There's angst, personal reflection, as well as tender moments. As a side story we also see the dark side of the Host world- how obsession over host life can be dangerous.

As of ep 7, it's hard to guess how it will end but I'm hoping for the best.🤞

Oh one more thing- while the premise might suggest that it'll be a typical🔥🔥🔥 toxic MC romance jdrama like with Coffee and Vanila (and other similar dramas), this is actually surprisingly more "pure" (not the best phrasing but I can't think of a better phrasing).

After reading your comment, I'm almost tempted to watch Honey Soda Lemon now- you sound like you were traumatized by his scenes 🙈

The ML's entire life is a "show" - Kauru the Host vs. Taiga the hard working 23-24 year old from a broken family who doesn't have the luxury to do as he wishes but still tries his best. Quite self sacrificing.

The drama is certainly interesting since none of the characters can be labelled as good or bad (not even the FL). Perhaps try 1 or 2 more episodes to see if it's your type?

🤣🤣🤣 yeah I can't see the possibility of that happening!

Thanks 😊

Exactly! It’s thought provoking.

Thanks! If there’s only half a chapter left we might get more angst before the classic “run to get your man” bit. Does the manga’s main story arc end with the confession? Kind of similar to Old Fashioned Cup Cake’s ending?

Suzume’s fluffy onesie and bow tricked us🙈
Can’t believe I expected it to be a bit childish at first🙈 The angst is interesting though…weirdly relatable somehow from Suzume’s POV.

Looks like your guess from a few episodes came true! Totally agree with you though on how surprisingly the “drag” doesn’t feel tedious. Eventhough ep 10 might feel like a filler episode it still is an important episode that could help Suzume and Keishi out in the long run.

The preview sounds daunting though. As the source expert, does the other subordinate actually mean to cause trouble? Or is the scene from the preview a red herring?🙊

It really was an interesting episode. You have 2 men approaching their 40s living vastly different lives and yet they are still able to enjoy each other’s company. I like how Suzume feels so relatable and his fears are quite realistic for someone at his stage of life. It looks like episode 11 will be another emotional rollercoaster but I hope we will get to see their light hearted days soon🤞
