I like such dramas where all the characters are good.....no particular character is there to tick you off....…
Based on this week's episodes, it kind of seemed like she still wasn't comfortable enough to cook for her family (she pretty much jumped like a skittish cat when her parents walked on her cooking). May be she's trying to make sure her cooking is at a level even her parents can't argue? (Since at the moment their approval doesn't sound 100% solid).
Personally, I kind of liked how she basically spent the entirety of episode 11 testing out french cuisine from a book she couldn't even read while still going for her usual Korean class - it subtly shows how passionate she is to expand her dream (even if the book was just a plot device)🙈
The writing is definitely a little wonky (I'm really not sure what message I'm meant to be getting from the second…
My take on the second couple is that the CEO had a sheltered and controlled life thanks to his overbaring parents. Ever since he tangled with NJY, he's been getting more exposure to the world. NJ's wild yet sweet demeanour is a good fit for his kind but sheltered personality? Since he really needs to break free from his parents' shackles🙊
In NJY's case, despite her sunny approach to life, she is still haunted by her past. Perhaps with the CEO's support, she'll be able to have more control with her life? And give people a chance may be (Mr Hater wasn't really as bad as she thought after all- specially after ep 8's revelation).
I could be overanalysing though - a bit bias with the second couple as they are my favourite coupling 🙈
Isn't it because he hid his identity? The FL has a complex relationship with her mum's foster families. It's going…
Ah...since this is a Kdrama, can't rule out the possibility 🙈
I assumed that he was so serious since the FL didn't forgive him over the kiss so he's expecting an even worse reaction from her for betraying her trust?
Yes, the writer sis doesn't know that Ji Uk is connected to the orphanage/ mum used to volunteer with him there, so he could have been her last foster child?
Did they mention that the mum stopped fostering after the dad passed away?
I can't wait till she finds out who her future daughter in law will be after working so hard to leashe her son. Mum was her own worst enemy in the end 🤭
You know that she's going to cause a hissy fit. Specially now that she knows about Hae Yeong🤦♀️
Hope they won't drag ithe inebitable drama for too long though🤞
It seems like ML was somehow responsible for the death of MFL's father because of his statement "Will she ever…
Isn't it because he hid his identity? The FL has a complex relationship with her mum's foster families. It's going to hurt her when she finds out that the ML knew her all along but didn't mention anything.
Think she actually once asked him if he was stalking her (jokingly) long before the contract marriage came up just because he knew too many things about her.
NGL even i also was wondering if he was her uncle (seems to match his personality) at first but not too sure🙈On…
Ohhh yeah- South Pole expedition, but that's a long term objective if i'm not mistaken- years away.
The mum's situation is really daunting. I know she's supposed to be annoying but I can't help liking her for some reason🙈
Cancer and depression makes sense but if they are really going to kill off the mum, it would really suck for the ML. To constantly worry about losing both his mum and partner is just too much- specially considering everything he's been through so far 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Seriously- they need to communicate soon 🙏🙏🙏Did the dad, senior, and mum study together in the same university?…
Hope they resolve this misunderstanding within ep 11 itself 🤞
The mum just seems to genuinely adore her job (she practically sparkles when she talks about it) so don't think she'd do anything to jeopardize it. Dad probably misunderstood the reason behind "her sparkle"🙈

I think you are right about the subs! I noticed there were quite a lot of differences while watching Lovely Runner on Netflix. The translations that are available on online stream sites while the show was airing are quite different in certain scenes (Netflix's version was not as impactful if you get what I mean)🙈 *** Yep, SR knows about Moeum's "new friend from the park" but i don't think she knows that she's his daughter🙊 *** I didn't realize there was so much more left to cover until I saw your list!🙈 But since the main couple's relationship will sail next week (and all the parents love them), hopefully we won't get any rushed episodes🤞🤞🤞
*** The memorial- it's possible isn't it? The mum's general theme is lack of memories of her family/ regrets/ being forgetful/ her forced early retirement, and coincidentally the memorial is supposed to act like a memory time capsule? It's too perfect for a coincidence.🙈🙈🙈
The only thing I can think of for now is may be hopefullyy it's nothing major (2 major health scares in 1 drama is too much unless they have another ginseng drink that helps with memory loss to promote😉). It might just be a symptom of her getting older and the fact that despite all the mother's sacrifices, her beloved job abandoned her. Now all she's left with is her estranged family so she needs to find a way to fix it (i.e. collect happy memories with her second chance?) Dad too tbh- he needs to be more open instead of using the hospital as a shield🙈
Seriously- they need to communicate soon 🙏🙏🙏Did the dad, senior, and mum study together in the same university?…
Oooooh it was Africa! I remembered it incorrectly🤦♀️ Ikr?! He was so giddy with joy 💔
The entire family's issues keep coming back to Africa ngl. The lilies didn't help either (TBF they've been close colleagues for nearly 20 years so the super knowing her favourite flower isn't really that suspicious either🙈)
just popping in to comment that i am loving danho & moeum’s loveline and moeum is absolutely unhinged and unpredictive…
NGL even i also was wondering if he was her uncle (seems to match his personality) at first but not too sure🙈
On Netflix, the subs mentioned it as "I have a child"
Can't remember the exact quote for the second point but I think he did mention at one point that she came back to him🙈
Since we have quite alot of episodes left, they might give attention to dilemmas of dating a single parent? Like in One Spring Night? The mothers all collectively agreed that having a kid means that SML cannot be considered as future son in law material afterall (not sure if i misunderstood their reaction tbh)
at first I was like they should just make him a cheater instead of complicating it so much or breaking their relationship…
I loved how ep 10 focussed on how ALL the characters digested and reacted to SR's situation (past and present)...right down to even the mom's friends. It hits more because there was nothing exaggerated with their reactions.
To be honest, I still can't understand why the FL broke up with her ex. They were both having a hard time dealing…
It's basically like 2521 i guess? With the ex i mean? They truly loved eachother, but their love couldn't withstand their unfortunate circumstances. They'll always care for eachother but it's time to move on🙊
THEORY 1: ML's mum has Alzheimer's! 😭😭😭THEORY 2: Rather than FML dying... ML's mum dies and the funeral…
Considering how much screentime is given to show how his mother regrets missing his childhood, what you said kind of makes sense with theory 2.
They might at least do something like what they did with QoT's ending may be? Give the mother a second chance to bridge the gap that's there between herself and her family and live out the rest of her days (sick or not) without further regrets? They can connect ep 1 (ML's interprettation of a memory wall) by showing how the mum's "death memory wall "is now filled with happy moments compared to what she had as of ep 10?
There are valid negative reactions since everybody is entitled to have an opinion but TBH, the unusually high…
Heyyy.....i'm glad you loved it!💙💛 😁😁😁
Haha the problem is that most fans are too lazy/ overwhelmed to write long official reviews (i'm a culprit of this too😅) whereas some of the haters have made it their personal mission to bring the drama down by any means necessary (this is not including valid disappointed viewers)
I mean there is nothing wrong with liking or disliking something. I think some people are just shocked by how…
I did notice a weird exchange between 2 accounts earlier today ngl (the same two accounts you pointed out in another comment).
Best thing is to just focus on the Kdrama and ignore the mdl drama🙈
Most fans/ disappointed viewers usually are pretty civil to eachother..a few crude (+ve&-ve) viewers or bot accounts aren't worth hurting your peace of mind✨️

MDL is drama central after all😉
MDL is quite facinating- never knew viewers were so passionate (+ve & -ve) until i came across MDL last year- it's a whole new world✨️🙊
