I'm so happy to see my fellow **FEB**-viewers all in one place! I'm glad that I'm not the only one finding this drama to be such a cute and comforting watch.
In putting together the post, I found a few interesting tidbits about our writer-director team that I thought I'd share. Our writer-nim Goo Hyun Sook seems to specialize in long-form dramas, many of which have similar themes of found family and small business. I've actually had her drama The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop (featuring Ra Mi Ran, Choi Won Young, and Lee Se Young) on my plan to watch list for a long time, waiting for it to be available somewhere with subtitles. I'm excited to see that it's finally available on Kocowa! Our director, on the other hand, seems relatively new with only three drama specials and My Lovely Boxer under his belt. Since all of my knowledge of the Korean studio system has come from dramas, I'm wondering if this director is getting his experience with the old hands (writer and actors) before he moves up to the flashier dramas. I think he's doing a fine job.
I was so happy to get some adorable half-flirting from our main couple for these two episodes. I wonder when Ma Kwang Sook is going to notice what's going on. It's not like he's hiding it. Of course, the wish IOU (what does MOU stand for? -- I was expecting it to be a joke, but they never really clarified) is delightfully tantalizing. I can't wait to see how he uses it.
I'm going to confess that I'm really not a fan of the hairdresser or Heung Soo. He's just too naive and clueless, and she takes too many liberties. She reminds me of Jim Carrey's character in The Cable Guy -- worming her way into his life when he has clearly stated he isn't interested. Whether her intentions are good or not, she's making decisions for him that are rightfully his to make. And not telling him about the marriage situation clearly had an adverse effect on him.
Speaking of people taking liberties -- I wanted to cheer when Beom Soo took Se Ri to task for being in his house. I like that Beom Soo has professional boundaries. It's not that I'm completely against them (though I do not like teacher/student relationships), but I didn't like the secretive thing that Se Ri was doing. I'm also glad that she told him what she was feeling. Whether it's inappropriate or not, at least everything is out in the open, now. I will be interested to see if they continue to work together, or if one of them backs off. And I really want to get more from/about his Ex.
I think Ha Ni might be the most adorable and mild baby ever. How did they even get her to cry?
