Because that means shortly I will turn into an irrational, gibbering wreck, the way I do with the best dramas. Good-bye sanity and sleep

This is a great drame, but a comedy? Too much hurt (too deep) for the three main characters... Wonder if we'll have a happen ending or a collective suicide :-(
Exactly. Sure, it has funny moments but whoever labeled this a comedy clearly was the same person who labeled 49 Days one (yes, the latter was labeled it as a comedy, wtf). Though I am really really needing a happy ending for this one.
The advertising for this show didn't even come close. I had no idea it was going to be like this from that first trailer. Or that I would be this obsessed.
It makes me think of the advertising for City Hunter - the ads not only failed to show what the story was about, they got the vibe all wrong. This is a wistful, tender drama not a zany romcom at all.
I love this drama. It's like a happier WHIB and has a defined OTP, but everything else about the main characters is so filled with similar shades of pain and hidden trauma involving abandonment and hopelessness about their lives.
First off, I am dying to read your recaps because even the stuff outside the cuts makes me slaver like a Pavlovian puppy. I am trying to get through this as soon as real life allows (which is not very, alas).
Also, I was seeing some WHIB vibes and was wondering if I was hallucinating, so thank you for bringing that up!
I love how on one level, all three main characters are functional people (because the world doesn't stop no matter what) but inside their heads they are all doing the equivalent of rocking back and forth and screaming.
I am stunned I love this because neither Kim Sam Soon nor What's Up Fox worked for me on a very fundamental level but this is so perfectly calibrated that I am blown away.
Btw, so glad you like YSY now! (Who stopped looking like Junki and makes me think of young Song Il Gook for some reason).
I want to kidnap YSY but don't repeat that anywhere. He will destroy you in the upcoming eps. I've gotten over my YSY mocking phase and now think he's incredible as a young actor. He's actually playing BOTH JIS and SJS's roles in WHIB. He's the broken poor kid with a chip on his shoulder AND the rich dissociated bitter man. His dual sides which are both him (it's not an act at all) is just brilliantly portrayed. And the love story is nnnnngggggggg %(^&*^&*%R$^*%&*(^&* So Fucking Amazing. That is all. Please catch up so we can spazz together~
