[SilverMoonTea]

Miss them 

 

 

[stroppyse]

@SilverMoonTea, here is the gist of the bts video that you posted.

 

 

They’re shooting LL’s wedding scene to which LL says “Welcome to my wedding”.
Jun then comments that she’s beautiful 12 hours out of every 12 hours, but that now she’s looks a little more…, but then he interrupts and corrects himself to say that she is as beautiful as she always is.
Jun then laughs at how differently LL delivers her lines from when they did their reading, before he then addresses the camera to say that she looks so beautiful.

Then they move to the scene where LL hits Jun with her car. Jun mentions that he’s a little nervous since it’s a bit of a difficult scene, but that the results will be shown in the broadcast.
LL talks about how they came to a beautiful place to film the scene.
Jun practices falling down safely. He then mentions that he hurts, that shooting scenes like this always hurts and always seems to take a long time to shoot. He hopes that it looks good, though.

 

It changes to a scene of one of Jun’s part time work place.
Dr. Cha and LL practice their scene of running into each other.
After the director yells cut, LL asks Dr. Cha if his shoulder isn’t about to break, implying that she had hit his shoulder really felt when she crashed into him.
Dr. Cha responds by jokingly saying that he had been too polite about it. (meaning he didn’t run into LL hard enough)
LL says that the way they had run into each other had actually felt very natural, and didn’t he agree?

Inside, Jun offers tomato juice, saying it’s really delicious. He then mentions how for some reason there aren't many takers, even though he had put a little sugar in it. Then he laughs at how he’s perhaps being too truthful now.
There is a whispered staff comment from offscreen wondering whether he had actually put a LOT of sugar in it. Jun whispers back that he has to say that he has to say that only a little bit was put in.
Jun then turns to the camera to say that only a little bit (of sugar) was put into it.
He then drinks it, and asks someone off camera whether it wasn’t delicious, saying that he had made the juice.

Jun is then making a smoothie and says that his secret recipe is a little syrup.
The captions say that Jun makes his drink while hiding beneath the counter as he’s mixing it up.
He stands to taste it before giving it to someone offscreen, telling her to taste it. He then says it’s really delicious, isn’t it?
He then says that he has been the smoothie maker Sunwoo Jun.

He takes a smoothie out to LL and Dr. Cha, but LL laughingly wonders if he’s put anything strange into it, like wasabi or something. Jun responds by saying that he has not put any wasabi in it.
LL says that it’s delicious, and Dr. Cha takes a drink of it. He also agrees that it’s delicious.
LL thinks that Jun could open a store in Mokpo and it would do well, since it’s so delicious.

This is a slightly different video? I think

[Alice Wonderland]

@SilverMoonTea I marathon most of my dramas on weekend, so I am a bit late now. I like that RR plays piano again this time because of her own will. I wonder who is doctor cha, does he actually dodolalasol? He seems quite interested in her more than just being polite or kind, and it is also not the way you normally treat your patient unless she has something that makes her special to him. And he also quite close with RR's ex and didn't tell him he met her when he wondered her whereabouts. 

 

I agreed that Jun is still the one who is falling at her now. But once he shows her his feeling openly. She will love him back. as of now she is in the stage of being comfort around him. So doc cha will be the love rival for Jun? I don't agree with this paring. lols.

 

Oh it seems they're going along with some of our predictions here, that the secretary is that kind is evil secretary who stabbed you in the back, and he does drinking champagne on the yacht and looking fine. The way he rushed RR to hide and gave him that money are already suspicious. It is not the right solution you give to someone if you really wants to help them. 

 

What do you think, perhaps the dodolalalsol and that stalker guy are connected or not?

[stroppyse]

Okay, I know I really like this drama because I ended up watching episodes 3 and 4 again.

 

Some additional comments about episode 3:

 

Anyone else love how when LL gets her casts off and plays piano for the first time and she's thinking that it actually hurts to play, the doctor is approaching her thinking that she shouldn't over do it, but Jun somehow understands from LL's grimaces that she's in pain and stops her from playing any more? I suppose it's actually a very presumptive mood, but within this drama, it seems to indicate how Jun is so attuned towards LL already.

 

Plus, the first time I watched, I somehow missed LL's staring at Jun in the laundromat after his comment of how in her memories of 20 years of playing piano, she is within those memories as well, as well as her reaction after Jun catches her starting at him. Even though I'm still convinced that LL doesn't recognize she has romantic feelings for Jun, those feelings have definitely started.

 

Also, Jun secretly walking LL home from her piano practice every night, and his longing to talk/text LL despite his gruff manners towards her, just all continue to indicate how deeply this boy is into LL and wants to protect her.

 

Also, the scenes of Jun and MiMi are even cuter the second time around! Having MiMi watching as Jun builds LL's room or having Jun talk to MiMi about LL is just awwww.

 

And, I really want to learn more about Jun's background!

 

 

Some additional comments about episode 4:

 

Every time that LL goes to throw her arms around Jun and stops herself, it makes me laugh for some reason, especially as she redirects the affection to MiMi. It's just that Jun visibly braces himself which stops LL from finishing the hug. I assume that she will embrace Jun enthusiastically at some stage without holding back? I think he braces himself because he wants it so much? He really needs to stop pretending he doesn't care about her when he cares about her so much.

 

And LL's ability to sleep no matter how stressed she might be. The running joke thus far of LL falling asleep while Jun is texting her is actually a bit sad in terms of Jun wanting to continue talking with her and wondering whether she's fallen asleep when she doesn't respond. However, Jun and MiMi remain too adorable. And, MiMi must have a stylist all of her own in this drama.

 

The warming relationship between HY's mother and LL is also rather adorable. LL has this way of being whole hearted in her compliments that makes the recipients feel happy also.

 

Plus, Jun did have some piano when he was in elementary school according to what he tells LL in ep 4, but I wonder if he has more musical training than he's letting on. He just didn't have a chance to show her since Dr. Cha pushed in and demonstrated his ability

 

And, I don't want LL to go with Dr. Cha! So, he better not let go and push her out the door at the start of episode 5!

@SilverMoonTea

Here's your "more" update

 

[SilverMoonTea]

 

@stroppyse Wow you already rewatching? Normally you also rewatch any drama? Or this is a special case? Thanks so much for the bts translation, really love that wedding scenes and indeed she's so beautiful ♥️

I don't normally re-watch anything at all, mostly because I don't have time to do so. However, I had a lazy weekend, and I really like this drama, so I rewatched to make sure I had caught everything that was going on since I usually am multi-tasking when I watch any dramas, so I listen to it and miss some of the unspoken stuff unless I'm paying total attention.

 

You're welcome. I hope the summary was sufficient. Line by line translations tend to take me longer to do, and while they are useful for anyone wanting to do a fan sub of the clip, not sure that people get much more from providing a line by line translation than a summary. Though if you ever want a line by line translation of a clip, just let me know.

[-StrongTower-]

My fave currently ongoing drama for now. Hahahaha!

 

Didnt have much expectations for this drama maybe that's why I'm enjoying the show.

 

It gives me the Shopping King Louie drama vibes but the comedy and leads' chemistry is better. I think Go Ara is slaying the role. Haha. My first time to see her like this. The supporting characters are intetesting & very entertaining too. 

 

I always cracked up everything she borrows money fom Jun. She's so confident that she can repay him. Ahahahh

 

And Jun....he is good at everything. Even with decorations. Hahahha

 

Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol fighting!!!!!!!!

It's the same writer as for SKL, so no wonder it gives you those vibes. I've even been thinking of writing a review for SKL even if it's an older drama, because I like this writer. This is her 3rd drama ever after Shopping King Louis and My Secret, Terrius.

 

Cute TMI Quiz @JenL, thanks for posting!

 

Can't wait to watch the next episode. I'm always in the wrong time zone for kdramas though since my work day is just started so I won't be able to actually watch anything until much later.

[-StrongTower-]

Reaalllyy, same writer of SKL??!! @stroppyse You should write a review for SKL. Aja!

no idea 'til u told me. It has the same "chill & funny" vibes of a drama. My Secret Terius was  little bit different but I also liked it.

 

Just finished watching ep 5. Still loving it.

Edited October 21, 2020 by -StrongTower-

[stroppyse]

I couldn't wait. I had to find out whether LL went or stayed after the way episode 4 ended with Jun hugging LL and asking her not to go. 

 

LL asks if something is the matter, but Jun just releases her, saying that he's fine now but not to say goodbye in the future when she's leaving. LL leaves with Dr. Cha, but in the car, she can't help but think of Jun. So, she gets out of the car and goes back to him! Yay!

 

She walks in to find Jun playing guitar beautifully. And, when he asks in surprise why she's back, she just says that she wants to be with him and that she was also a little worried about him.

[stroppyse]

Ahhhhh! Jun is a high school student still?! Nooooo! Ohmygosh, this changes so much about this story! I don't even know what to think. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I was totally not expecting that.

 

That would make LL at least 3 or 4 years older than him. And, he was totally at LL's graduation concert. That's where he and Dr. Cha had literally run into each other before. And, Jun is the only son of the Sunwoo Foundation that runs the hospital.

 

Also, the stalker may be the guy who bought the cosmetic set from Jun in the last episode since LL received 2 of those sets, 1 from Jun and 1 from a mysterious person who sent no note. Of course, that could be a red herring.

HAHAHAHA is everyone still alive after the plot twist?!

 

I'm not sure how to feel either, but I'm too invested and charmed by this series and Lee Jae Wook now that it's too late for me to back out now  I'm hoping there's another plot twist and they've mistaken his age, or he hid his real age from others, but so far I think I'm going to have to accept what they've given us - that he's a highschooler!! I wish he could have at least been first year uni, but then I guess that would remove the shock factor by tenfold. So many thing make sense now - like all that talk about his college degree and his nervousness around Rara and the hunt for him by his "mother"?

 

But I'm honestly still loving the fun wackiness of this drama and the weird mysteries around the characters. It's like we're getting a drip feed into Jun's life and Dr Cha's, but it's like only tiny peeks. Dr Cha seems to be inspired by Rara's boldness to say what she wants and still be liked by all. But I can't tell if he likes her or is fascinated by her charms and wants to protect her from Jun...is that the same thing? 

 

Ahhhh, The fact that Rara ran back to his house after leaving was cute. And Lee Jae Wook playing guitar got me so bad . And he was so wise when he said you need to look back on your past, be aware of your present and imagine your future in order to have dreams....he can't be that young right?!  

 

The humour for this series really speaks to me though - like silly and cute and can be an actual laugh out loud. Like when Rara said her dream was to eat beef tenderloins, and then said dreams don't have to be grand. Or when Rara dragged Dr Cha to the cafe and the 4 of them sat watching Jun while eating their food XD I just find it so funny and endearing! Well, here's to tomorrow!

Great examples of silliness! Yes, I loved how simple LL's "dream" was and how she says that there isn't much to dreams, just things that one may want to do. And, funny and sweet when Jun uses it on LL later when he's declaring that having a personal driver had been a dream of his.

 

As for sitting in a row and watching Jun as they eat...LOL...I just burst into laughter just thinking about that scene.

 

Not that I believe him in reality. I think Jun's "dream" might have been to meet LL.  The twist does explain why he freezes like a deer in headlights whenever LL got close to any sign of affection with him, especially the hugs. It's not just that he's reserved, especially around a woman that he's crushing on.

 

Heck, even HY's male school friend, Seung Ki, has more game than Jun. Don't think we didn't see you, Seung Ki, casually drape your arm on the seat behind HY on the bus!

 

Haven't watched today's episode, but looking forward to watching it later.

I totally loved that the "dream" line was used in a sweet on-going way between them too 

Haha, with the sitting in a row, I think the funniest part was when his store manager said that there was a new member to his fan club and that the guy was totally smitten with him

Hahahaha those high schoolers are so funny. SK is really going for it with his "listen to the lyrics of this song" 

 

HY is going to have a field day if she finds out Jun is a high schooler like her! She'll probably marry him on the spot regardless of how he feels! 

 

Back to the high schooler thing, it looks like they confirmed Jun is 19 on their social media posts (apparently Koreans finish high school when they're 18-20?). I think it's not the 5 year age gap between Rara and Jun that makes people uncomfortable. Like if Rara was 30 and Jun 25, people would just shrug at the noona romance. The weird part is the different stages of life they're in! High schooler vs. graduate, 'minor' vs. adult is what people think of.  I wonder if where you live and the 'legal age' mentality makes a difference. Where I live, 18 is the legal age where you can drink, drive, go into a casino, consent to intimacy etc, so while this gap is strange (with him still in high school), he's not a minor in my mind. But I know it's different in Korea where it's 21, so this must be so weird for them!! 

 

I'm not one for time jumps normally, but for once in my life, I'm kind of hoping they'll be some sort of catch up time jump. A lot of people think there will be at some point. But the romance has been super cute - I think because Jun is so mature and Rara so fun and naive, that they really balance each other out! Lee Jae Wook also has a mature, cool look so at least it's not a baby faced actor.

 

Yeah, I don't watch dramas until it's dark (like literally the sun goes down and it's night), so gotta keep away from spoilers till then! But looking forward to next ep as always!

[Ending] Timing is an art~♥ Two people creating a strange atmosphere?!

 

 1. [+468][-1] So the fact that he didn't have a license and was a middle school graduate was because he was a minor ㅠ  All this time this grandma here was shamelessly calling you 'Oppa, oppa', Jun-ah

 2. [+378][-3] Now that I know he's a high school student, his nature to want to look good to her as a younger man has appeared, it's seriously really heart fluttering

 3. [+356][-4] I was shocked that he was a 12th grader but to know that he's still developing  ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The fact that he's gotten taller ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 4. [+339][-1] What do you mean he's a 12th grader ㅋㅋㅋ So he's the same age as the neighbour's daughter ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  So Jun wasn't a bachelor but a student ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Cute

 5. [+327][-3] Jun was a 12th grader ㅠㅠㅠ So that's why he was a middle school graduate and didn't have a licenseㄷㄷ

Hmm... Well, Jun is technically a minor since he's not 20 yet, and messing around with a minor is a big no-no. That twist shocked me, to be honest. A 5 year age gap when someone is in their 20's or 30's or older isn't that big a thing. When one member is a minor and still in school, it becomes a very big thing.

 

Btw, Koreans usually graduate high school at 18, though it's not unheard of for them to be 19 at graduation. They start kindergarten and first grade later than in Western countries, but they only do 3 years of high school. 

 

The current legal age of maturity in Korea is 20 in Korean age (19 in international age), the most significance of that is that they can enter contracts independently of their parents.  Thus they can join the military and a lot of the guys do in order to do their mandatory military service and get that out of the way. That is also the age of consent and the age that they are allowed to drink, vote, etc.

 

Where I live, the age of legal maturity is 18 which is for everything except for buying drinking alcohol which is 21. Prudence and an attempt to save lives from drunk driving mostly.

 

Anyway, for once, I'm actually thinking a time jump makes sense as much as I've been enjoying Jun and LL's budding romance.

 

Also, wondering if finding out Jun's true age will make him more attractive or less attractive to HY?

BTS

 

[stroppyse]

Oh no! Just watched episode 6, and I don't even know what to say about Jun.

 

His mother is probably his real mother after all, and she's just been trying to find him.

Jun's father is terrible. His parents were neglectful of Jun already, but how could his father yell at him to get over the death of his best friend.

Jun's backstory is actually very sad, and he's clearly not able to deal with his trauma.

Jun is definitely a smart guy who remembers his medical knowledge from his high school and applies that knowledge swiftly and surely.

I'm glad that he has LL in his life who is anchoring him, though I'm apprehensive of what happens when LL finds out Jun's true age and situation.

 

 

Otherwise, the Greek chorus line of the hair salon women is pretty hilarious, even in a sad, tense episode like this. Love their meta to this drama of saying how there are 3 guys who are after the female lead: the Daddy Long Legs guy (Dr. Cha), the rich chaebol's son (Jun), and the fantastic looking face (the stalker).

 

We know what the stalker looks like now, though we don't know why he's stalking LL.

 

The child piano prodigy is pretty cute, and the way he played and described the song that LL plays for Jun and the way Jun reacts upon coming home was pretty fantastic.

 

Trying to teach MiMi to play the piano was pretty ridiculous, though the whole scene was funny with LL insisting that MiMi was a genius who could do anything and SK wondering if LL was crazy. It was as much fun as when the five of them (LL, Jun, Dr, HY, SK) sat in a row outside the mart. It made the epilogue a bit of a surprise that made me sputter with laughter.

 

Wonder if Mr. DoDoSolSolLaLaSol is possibly the grandfather? And he had known LL's father somehow?

 

Even with the reveal about Jun's age, Jun and LL are just too cute. I think LL is going to help Jun reconcile with his family, and possibly follow a calling about being a doctor, but doing it his way, possibly in an underserved rural area rather than following his father's design or intent.

 

Unfortunately, I can't really root for the romance itself to continue since he's still a minor and she's not, even if he is a lot more mature than she is.

 

 

BTS is really cute. Thanks for posting @mademoiselle! Sweet to see all the actors petting and fussing over MiMi. When I have a bit more time on the weekend, perhaps, I'll provide a translation for it.

Hahahaha, Thanks for this @abs-oluteM ...oh god, The Korean watcher comments are so funny, but their priorities are wrong  

The international comments are all wondering about his age and legality and there's a lot of explaining and researching over at Reddit!

In the context of Korea where he's just under the legal age, it's so so bizarre! Like if I lived in Korea and had known the legal age to be 20, I would feel so weird . 

 

But it's fair that people will have different views from their own understandings as 21 isn't the legal age in every country. Looking at comments from my country, the general consensus is that this plot twist is very, very, very weird, but not illegal. In terms of his actual age being 19 and dating an older adult? Over here, at 19 years of age, it would be fine as long as there was consent. So to me, if I think about Jun being 19, it doesn't freak me out personally because I just can't think minor in my mind when I was already in uni drinking, holding a driver's license and dating at 18 myself. I just can't help it - that number just sounds legal to me because of the context of where I grew up   

 

But if I think of it from the Korean context, where he's still in high school and being 19 there is like being 17 here...then that is when it gets weird 

 

But so far, I think the show has been cute because it's looking at Jun's one-sided crush. It's also been careful not to go into that 'messing around' territory - After episode 6, I feel like he's going to have to disappear at some point. Nothing crazy has happened, just romantic tension, which I suppose we see because we're viewing it from Jun's standpoint. Rara really doesn't know Jun's age since he's hidden it from her and she doesn't seem to be clued in that they have that sort of tension...the height chart flashback has been the only time she thought about it. Jun, on the other hand likes Rara, but seems to hold back as much as possible due to his age and the big lie between them. I feel a time jump is the only way they can catch them up to each other and iron out the weirdness of the age difference/life stages.
