#WeakHeroClass2 Mini Review Part 2

 Not for the Weak (Weak Hero Class 2 mini review)

PART 2

From PART 1>>> https://web.facebook.com/share/p/18UZzbtxuM/

What I like about the drama:

1. Bigger and badder foes versus stronger and mature friends. Si Eun lost his friends and is trying to overcome the trauma, unresolved guilt, and pain. He has no intention of getting close to anyone again after that.  “I’m more comfortable alone.” But the three guys are not giving up, continuing to break through his defenses (it was during their volunteer activity that Si Eun’s first smile appeared (while trying not to show that he is smiling), upon realizing how Hu Min got the wrong numbers of the girls from Buli High. He was about to leave Korea and study in Singapore, but hearing Jun Tae telling him that what happened to his old friends was not his fault made him stay. They were not blaming or judging him.

2. Choosing your own path – choosing good or evil. I wish I knew more about Hu Min and Baek Jin’s friendship. The friendship we failed to protect. I can still see love for each other in their eyes, there is pain all over. But it seems the gap is too wide now for them to reconcile and accept everything. Too bad, their story was underdeveloped. And I guess we didn’t get much for the rest of the guys, either. 

3. The comparison between Beom Seok (played by Hong Kyung) and Jun Tae – old friend and new friend. Beom Seok in Class 1 was devoured by the system, his need for acceptance and belonging led him to darkness. Jun Tae, on the other hand, is love and light personified. While we did not see his family or background, he seems to live comfortably. He is refined, dresses nicely, has knowledge of supplements, and is able to spend money on food and drinks for the bullies. As mentioned, he lacks fighting skills, is timid and gentle, but in the end, he showed his strength in terms of loyalty and EQ.

4. Newton’s Third law of Motion “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” – standing up against school bullying and violence despite the consequences; struggling to do what is right in a world where no adults seem to be around, where nobody seems to care; breaking free from such violent patterns and writing your own story. Choosing peace over violence - Both Hu Min and Si Eun gave up fighting, but in the end, they decided, once and for all, to face The Union with a purpose. To protect Eunjang High’s peace, and their own peace as well.

5. Sun Ho’s appearance, no matter how brief, will always leave a mark. “You been alright? Who are those guys behind you?” “My friends.” “That’s awesome.” And Si Eun’s second smile capped the season. 

6. The OST during opening credits - Hero (Prod. by Primary) - song and lyrics by Meego – continues to haunt me up to now.

7. Chemistry. The rapport is apparent, there is real bromance. Some of them have worked with each other in previous dramas and we can see the closeness among the cast during interviews and guesting stints, and in their Instagram stories/posts.

Season 3? Maybe. Especially as we see the CEO recruiting Seong Je to replace Baek Jin. But I have faith in our good squad. They will pull through. They’re stronger and smarter. 

#WeakHeroClass1 and #WeakHeroClass2 are streaming on Netflix.

#WeakHeroClass2 Mini Review Part 1

 Not for the Weak (Weak Hero Class 2 mini review)

Synopsis: 

Fighting his personal battles after losing his friends in Season 1, Yeon Si Eun transfers to another high school, only to face greater violence from a powerfully organized school gang, The Union, with his new squad.

I’m a sucker for male friendships or boy bonding underdog dramas, be it a group (Hwarang, Crash Landing On You, Twinkling Watermelon), trio (Start Up, Divorce Attorney Shin) or just two guys (Descendants of the Sun, Midnight Runners) with a close relationship and emotional connection built over time and shared experiences. I’m sure there’s a longer list out there, but hey bromance, #WeakHeroClass2 (WHC2), I’m all yours!

Although I was not able to watch Weak Hero Class 1 (it was not a requirement anyway) and I literally had to pause and think before pressing Play, I was drawn to this drama because of #Ryeoun (TW, 18 Again) who plays Park Hu Min/Baku, Eunjang High’s top dog, and #LeeJunYoung (Imitation, May I Help You, Mask Girl, Melo Movie, When Life Gives You Tangerines) who plays Seong Je, #2 villain. And nobody can ever resist #ParkJiHoon (Si Eun’s eyes alone could break your heart into bits and pieces, and that rare smile). And I now understand why #ChoiHyunWook (Twenty Five, Twenty One, My Dearest Nemesis) is so popular, his Ahn Su Ho character here is indeed lovable and charming, the same with his Yi Chang in TW. The other two good guys are #ChoiMinYoung (XO Kitty, Twenty Five, Twenty One), who plays Jun Tae, a bullying victim who shows so much class in this drama, might be the weakest in the group literally but has the strongest heart; and #LeeMinJae (Crash Course in Romance, Cheer Up) who plays Hyun Tak, a former athlete who lost the opportunity to compete further due to a knee injury courtesy of Seong Je. The bad guys? Aside from LJY, #BaeNara plays a perfect Baek Jin (yes, this 34-year-old can pass as a high school student).

I am not for bullying and school violence, well no one is, but why is this theme all over k-dramas? What is happening??? Is this for real? Where are the parents, where are the school administrators, where are the teachers, where are the police??? This is so scary. Hello - The Glory, Boyhood, Friendly Rivalry, Moving, Revenge of Others, Hierarchy, among others. The violence, the bloody fights, the adrenaline rush, the fear and pain and the struggle to survive – WHC2 is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Some say Season 1 is better (storytelling, character development, action, acting) and after 3 years, is Season 2 worth the wait?

#BuriedHearts mini review

‼️Spoiler Alert‼️Buried Hearts mini review After his successful stint in Doctor Slump in 2024, #ParkHyungSik’s #BuriedHearts (aka Treasure Island) ended with 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. #DoctorSlump is still one of the best I’ve seen, with our Oppa playing a handsome and warm and goofy and charming and sweet Dr. Yeo Jeong Woo (not so unlike his real personality, and with a bonus track Lean on Me in the drama’s OST at that). And he keeps on getting better. This time, he is Seo Dong Ju, a brilliant strategist who hacked into a political slush fund worth 2 trillion won, dodging multiple murder attempts; and also a brokenhearted man who lost a partner (Eun Nam - Hong Hwa Yeon) to an arranged marriage; lost his mother, his foster sister (Sister Agnes - Han Ji Hye), and later on, his biological father (Huh Il Do - Lee Hae Young) and half-brother (Taehyun - Yoon Sang Hyeon) - all in tragic deaths. Revenge is what kept him alive and going, he rose to become the President of Daesan and made his enemy (the hateful villain Yeom Jang Seon - Heo Joon Ho) give up all his wealth to be free. But revenge is also what has left him empty and perhaps regretful in the end (with his “I don’t think I know what’s wrong anymore” line to Eun Nam, and to the corrupt Elder (Lee Cheol Yong - Choi Kwang Il) : “What happened to you?”) that he believed he needed to step down from his post, take a break, and search for his old soul and whatever goodness that is left in him – the one who was loyal, passionately in love with the woman he wanted to marry, ambitious but still humane. Notes: 1. I liked that they did not force Dong Ju and Eun Nam to get back together – at least not yet. Maybe later, but not in this season hahaha They still love each other but I was glad that they were given time apart, especially after Eun Nam’s divorce as respect also to her ex-husband, prosecutor turned private lawyer Yeom Hui Cheol - Kwon Soo-Hyun who, while not entirely a good person, was given a chance to redeem himself in the end. Love that permed bangs hahaha 2. The loyalty of (also hateful) Chun Gu Ho - Joo Yeon-Woo to his boss Yang Seon 3. The loyalty of Dong Ju’s group - Madame Pi - Son Ji Na (one of those who supported him and Sister Agnes when they were young), Myung Tae Geum - Kong Ji-Ho (rich techie friend and owner of the instrument shop) and Bae Won Bae - Lee Yoo Joon (the one who saved him after he was shot). 4. The loyalty of Secretary Gong – the family’s lady butler who knows all the skeletons in their closet 5. I didn’t like how things ended with Taehyun, who seemed to be the nicest character in the drama. For him to be a sacrificial lamb just to show that evil does not stop, and what greed and lust for riches and power could do to a person, or in this case, to mother and son tandem of Ji Yeong Soo - Do Ji-Won and Ji Seon Woo - Cha Woo-Min. I was disappointed, I was hoping that the Chairman’s illegitimate-turned-legitimate son would turn out to be a fine man, with us seeing them on a heartwarming bike ride one evening. I was hoping that people with humble beginnings like them could remain unaffected despite their newfound status and money. Sad also that the Chairman appeared to be holding on to his last memories of frequenting the cafe/bakery to catch a glimpse of Yeong Soo and Seon Woo - at a time when things were simpler and I guess, more dear. And then again maybe Taehyun’s death and effect on his mother (Cha Dok Hui - Kim Jung Nan) is to show us once again that crime does not pay, and in one way or another, you will suffer the consequences. Dok Hui, together with Il Do, plotted to kill her 1st husband Seon Ho, Dong Ju’s mother Gyeong-Won, and Dong Ju as a young boy. 6. Nice casting touch – the young Dong Ju played by Yoo Young Woo. He was able to get Park Hyung Sik’s approach to the character, how he spoke, little things that matter. 7. Missing in the finale was Dong Ju’s neurologist and her father (friend of Il Do and Seon Ho) who were also helpful during the time the Dong Ju was struggling with his memories; and while Cha Guik Hi became Daesan Volt CEO, her neurosurgeon husband was also missing in the last episode. 8. “Not like”– why would you want the viewers to think Dong Ju and Eun Nam have the same father? Ewwww – not with those love scenes! 9. Watching Reborn Rich, The Impossible Heir, Flex x Cop, I am thinking, don’t we have a good chaebol family? Is this how things work with wealthy families really, the power struggle? And why is the title Buried Hearts? More like twisted hearts but I guess, you prefer these family-corporate warfare stuff to be buried hahaha literally. 10. What happened to Dong Ju – Did he kill himself? Will he and Eun Nam reconcile? When will the power struggle in Daesan stop? The evil son is going to destroy what his chairman grandfather and chairman father have built, and what Dong Ju has fixed. With the chairman having dementia, it's likely that the same dynamics will persist. Even though Dong Ju tried to tie up loose ends, some say it was a hurried ending, too many unresolved plots, which is not befitting of a most-watched revenge drama series with an average nationwide rating of 15.0 percent, that puts Park Hyung Sik further on top. Rumored to be paid 500M KRW per Doctor Slump episode (or 8B KRW for 16 episodes), PHS embracing a dark role seems to be a smart move. His acting here in BH, they say, is career-defining. I was thinking, can anyone be in his place as Dong Ju? Nope, he is Dong Ju all right. He worked hard for this drama. Just a trivial observation, don’t mind me, you don’t have to believe it, but there’s one scene in the end that reminded me of Park Seo Joon. That move, when he turned around to walk towards Eun Nam for that one last kiss, it reminded me of PSJ. Oh well, I guess I am just a Wooga devotee after all. (Sorry Woo Shik I finished your Melo Movie in one sitting so I could focus on Hyung Sik.) Should there be another Season? Personally, I am fine and I don’t need another. My imagination can deal with the unfinished business or details that were left hanging. To hell with what will happen to Dong Ju and Daesan. While there are lessons learned, life goes on. It doesn’t have to be perfect, and it will never be perfect. And there are stories that, no matter how compelling or well-loved, must rest after they are told. No need to dig deeper to make new memories - just buried inside our hearts. You can still catch Buried Hearts, streaming on Disney+ PH #BuhayKPam

When Life Gives You “When Life Gives You Tangerines”

“It’s an odd thing. Parents dwell on what they couldn’t give. And children dwell on what they couldn’t get.” – Geum Myeong

Netflix’s #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines gives us a lot to ponder on.

As a parent, we always want to give the best to our children, offer them comfort and convenience in almost everything, even if it means working so hard that your brains and butt couldn’t tell which is which. Whether you are an employee or run your own business, there are a lot of times you want to retreat and surrender, but you don’t. In fact, you even end up giving up a lot of things for their sake, to be able to keep this up – your youth, your time, even your own dreams.  Because theirs matter more to you than yours. Because as parents, it is our role and obligation.

Not that I am complaining, we’re all in this for the long haul. I’ve been a parent since I was 23. I’m just saying that parents may not be always perfect, or we may not be able to give our children everything, but we try, and we will always do our best. We may not be the “best” parents for them, but we try to be. When you see them throw tantrums, or they seem sad or discontented or annoyed with you for some reason, when they get mad at you and they don’t seem to appreciate their life and the things you do for them, when you hear them whine or worry or look for things that they don’t have, or what you can’t give, it hurts a lot. But as a parent, would you fight back? Would you tell or show them that you’re hurt? Would they care? You just take it all in. Maybe our children will never know that side of parenthood until they become parents themselves.

Speaking for myself and my own experience, I have been working since I was 17 and battling against health issues, I decided to retire in 2022 at age 51. I have a few regrets after this humbling chapter of my life (but that’s another story), but I must live with that decision. If I were only living for myself, the retirement fund I received would be enough for my k-vices and “luxurious indulgences.” To translate in Filipino: Na kung ako lang at sarili ko lang iintindihin ko at aasikasuhin, at wala na ko ibang pagkakagastusan, ok na ko sa milyones ko.

But as my youngest son is still studying, I thought an extra income as a consultant would be nice. Leaving my comfort zone, which I thoroughly enjoyed for 2 years (no alarm clock in the morning, watching k-drama all day and all night, going out and to the mall anytime I want), I went back to work – and lost my time freedom again.

In the same year, our lives changed when my son entered college, and we had to move to QC and rent a place, again giving up the comforts of my home where I just had to set up my laptop and log out after 8 hours, nap and wake up, with my 2 helpers doing the household chores. Lunch and dinner are ready, laundry sorted and done, rooms cleaned - the works. Here, I have to multi-task – working at home is literally work and at the same time, tackle cleaning/cooking/etc. Expenses are double, too – Meralco, water, food and groceries. My helpers still get paid but I don’t hahaha Sometimes I resent being in this situation, but since I was the one who made the decision to stay with my son, I cannot grumble forever. I try not to dwell on it but sometimes it can be very challenging, especially for someone like me with mental and physical health limitations, I just pray that I will stay healthy and strong (and employed) for a long time to sustain this setup. 

But yes, if there are pains, there are gains, too. Don’t get me wrong. Parenting and parenthood involve not just challenges, but joys and rewards too. I have my share. And they outnumber the down times. In the same episode of WLGYT, the lead /mom AeSun said: “I found happiness in my own way. There was sunshine in my life too. I’ve had so many picture-perfect moments. I just want you to acknowledge that my life was worthwhile too.” 

If I have regrets, those are mine and my issues alone. I may have sacrificed a few personal wants and needs, but I will never take these against my children. 

To my two treasures: I just want you to be more understanding and patient (also me: perimenopause, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, mood swings, irritability, and other signs of aging hahaha). 

I’ll be 54 this year and even so, I am still being given tangerines, still learning every day, trying to be a better person every day, trying to guide you every day, praying for you every day – and praying to be with you as much as I can, as longer as I can, every day.

#MeloMovie mini review

#MeloMovie (mini review)

As soon as they kissed, ang nasabi ko na lang, (Mga) Binata na ang Wooga talaga 😭

📌After Our Beloved Summer (OBS), it seems that 2 seasons of Jinny’s Kitchen, In the Soop: Friendcation, Wonderland, and A Killer Paradox were not enough to satisfy our hunger for #ChoiWooShik, whom we fell in love with as Choi Ung (although personally, I am not a fan of the female lead), and who was unforgettable as Ki Woo (because every time he goes abroad, he is recognized as “the actor in Parasite”).

📌When it was announced that filming had started for this drama from the same writer of OBS (Lee Na Eun), one couldn’t help but be giddy and excited, especially after seeing him up close and personal in November 2023. Tall and goofy and simply adorable, Choi Woo Shik has this sincere and contagious smile, and funny ways that are similar to his Wooga Squad. During the Hi Bye session in that same fan meet (our row was the first batch to hop on the stage), our Oppa was wearing a red sweater, saying hello to each one of us, with eyes that sparkled and a smile that will forever linger in my memory. 

📌He is not super handsome at first sight like Park Hyung Sik (PHS), but his looks are the kind that grows on you and after a while, you would notice that his nose is chiseled, his skin flawless, his eyes parang naaawa ka na sige mamahalin na nga kita (this was what happened to me in OBS), yung hair color nya pag na-hi-hit ng sunlight and its cut/style na nakaka-pogi sobra, and the height (1.83m, he endorses Project M). 

📌Here in Melo Movie (melodrama, tearjerker, love story), Woo Shik is Ko Gyeom, a movie fan who played bit roles when he was younger and became a popular film critic. He has an older brother, Ko Jun (played by Kim Jae Wook, Her Private Life) who because of an accident, became dependent on him. The brothers are orphans, with an 11-year age gap, kaya si Hyung raised him. And they loved each other dearly.

📌And anyway, ang babaeng pinagpala, #ParkBoYoung  (Daily Dose of Sunshine, Light Shop ) who has worked with Woo Shik’s Wooga brothers, Park Seo Joon (Concrete Utopia) and PHS (Strong Girl Bong-soon), plays Kim Mubee (of course, from the word “movie”), a film director’s daughter who hated movies (because the job took her father away from them for most of her life), but majored in Film and vowed to make an awesome melo movie in his honor and memory. Medyo tough sya, somewhat introvert, but fell for Gyeom anyway. Only to be ghosted by him, disappearing after his brother’s accident and coming back 5 years later. So syempre galit siya.

📌Bonus si #LeeJunYoung, whom I loved in Imitation, and later on cheered for him in May I Help You, Impossible Heir, and Badland Hunters. At 1.85m, almost same height sila ni Woo Shik . Pwede syang mabait and funny, pwede rin syang bad and talagang kakainisan mo (Mask Girl). Here, he is Si Jun, a struggling songwriter na can afford naman ang family, left home to focus on his music, but hindi nagte-take off ang career, and couldn’t leave his past and misery behind after his girlfriend of 7 years broke up with him to find her own path.

📌To complete the second lead couple, playing Ju-A is #JeonSoNee (Our Blooming Youth), a rising screenwriter who believed that Si Jun could come up with a beautiful OST for her movie with Mubee, thus the need to work with him and be together again after their painful breakup.

📌I finished the 10 episodes in one sitting, spending my Sunday with Oppa Woo Shik for 10 reasons. Because one, all 10 were available on Netflix;  Two, ayoko na sila pagsabayin ng Buried Hearts ni PHS when it airs on Feb 21; and 3-10, Woo Shik/Woo Shik/Woo Shik/Woo Shik/Woo Shik/Woo Shik. Ayoko na ito patagalin hahaha In fact, you can finish it all on its airing day - Valentine’s Day. 

📌Some of the funny scenes, feeling ko minsan wala na sa script itong gestures ni Woo Shik but was allowed by the director. Ang natural nya magpatawa. Siguro after the take/s, nagtatawanan sila. Sa mga reality shows nya, napaka-evident ng sense of humor nya. Yung nawawala na mata niya pag tawang-tawa sya. Dito pa naman, they all have their wounds and trauma, kanya-kanya lang sila ng dala, and his character siguro thought maitatago niya ito or these will go away by being funny, setting his own pains aside,  magpatawa ng ibang tao, be of service to others. 

📌Gusto ko rin yung relationship nila ng Kuya nya. May chemistry sila. Most of the funniest scenes, silang dalawa. Bagay silang mag-Hyung. Sa Episode 7 ako bumunghalit ng iyak, because dito napakita yung POV ni Ko Jun. Yung struggles niya all his life. Na he had no choice but to work at a young age, raise his younger brother, hindi na sya nakapag-girlfriend man lang, wasn’t able to have his own family dahil he dedicated his life to Gyeom. Gyeom suspected for a long time na hindi accident ang nangyari sa Kuya nya, but an attempt to kill himself. But at a time that he wanted to go on living, may sakit na siya and eventually passed. In denial si Gyeom, that’s why he has been putting off going home and sleeping at home kasi, “There’s nobody there.” But yes, to be able to heal, he must face his grief.

📌Support system – Mubee’s childhood friend Woo Jeong-Hu played by Cha Woo-Min (Study Group)

And kahit medyo masungit and looks conservative but cool din naman pala, Mubee’s mom - Kim Hee-Jung (Sweet Home, Call It Love, Start-Up). I don’t know, I thought theirs was a good mom-daughter relationship pero dun sa end, pinalabas na nagkulang pa si mother and that she wished she was kinder. Ewan ko lang ha, but I didn’t see anything wrong sa kanya. 

Bar owner and Su Jin’s boss - Kim Young-Woong (Study Group, Happiness, Vincenzo)

Director Ma - Ko Chang-Seok (Dream, Chicken Nugget, The Impossible Heir)

📌The OST is also good. Among the tracks is the male version of Under Sunset, na si Jun Young ang kumanta (kasi may female version din). Ahem, Jun Young is a former idol, a member of U-KISS and of the project group UNB. The song was played while the two leads were kissing, with Gyeom’s car stalled at hindi na sila aabot sa pupuntahan nilang film location sana at kung kelan hinahabol nila yung sunset. >>>Link https://youtu.be/Gig7MHxXddI?feature=shared thank me later. (Other tracks: Surfing in the Moonlight, TOMORROW X TOGETHER; My Star, DOKO)

📌Perhaps my biggest takeaway is (hindi ko alam kung tama) – but you don’t have exclusive rights over pain, getting hurt. Hindi lang ikaw ang nasasaktan, hindi lang ikaw ang may problems or nararmdaman. Minsan kasi umiikot lang ang mundo natin sa sarili nating hurts, heartaches, struggles. Hindi natin napapansin ung iba, na may pinagdadaanan din sila. Yung universal advice na be kind, totoo yan, tama yan. And yung makinig ka lang? Hindi yung may sasabihin sa iyo, tapos para kang nakikipagcontest na ay ako rin, ay ako nga…Wala ka sa lola ko levels ba. When someone shares something with you na malungkot, masakit, mahirap…wag ka na makipagpaligsahan. Just listen. Just be there. Hindi lang enough yung naririnig mo, dapat pinakikinggan mo rin siya/sila.

📌And speaking of episodes, episode titles are taken from movie lines, maybe Na Eun’s paying a little homage to films and film making (including Hollywood). All in all, while the drama is not that super spectacular, if you stan Woo Shik (or Wooga Squad like me) or Bo Young (who has her own following), it will certainly help. Pamatid-uhaw, ika nga.  

📌Basta for me, kahit mixed ang reviews ng Melo Movie – may ok, may hindi; may positive, may negative – it doesn’t matter. Kasi kung ako as viewer, as consumer – kung para sa akin, nakuha ko yung gusto i-convey na message, nagresonate sa akin in one way or another, nag-enjoy (kahit yung iba, hindi), naluha sa mga eksena or parts ng drama, dahil may naramdaman, may nakurot sa puso, for me, ok na yun. 

📌Like life, dramas (or movies, or fiction) are imperfect, may flaws, yung bida minsan sablay; pero basta may character development, hindi ka man perpekto, gaya ng istorya, but you always strive to be a better version of yourself, yung may goal ka to become a better person as you grow older, you’re doing great as it is. For the things and happenings that you have control over, (you can) write your own ending. 💕

#LoveScout

One of the most wholesome k-dramas I've seen!

 LOVE SCOUT Please read until the end (Spoiler ba ito? Bahala na) ‼️

6/12 halfway through the season na tayo

What I like about the drama:

💕Chemistry between the leads

💕Maturity of the characters, they are older and have more experiences in life pati yung circle of friends, mature ang usapan, wala na paliguy-ligoy, wala na pasikreto hehe

💕HR scenarios - yung dynamics sa workplace, boss-staff

💕Story not just dwells on the daily lives of the main characters but they have guest-characters like in Extraordinary Attorney Woo and May I Help You...The ones being recruited, or yung "Project", may insights, ung pagdeepdive into the characters, the back stories, the motivations, how the hunting is being conducted, galing. Naiyak ako sa Deluxe Line Luxury Brand Appraiser Project. May kurot (lalo na sa part na isinasapuso kasi yung trabaho, ganun ako eh kaya ako nabaliw di ba 🤣).

💕Refreshing, yung pagflip ng characters. CEO is female, pero sablay sa basic life skills (messy, insomniac, laging nauuntog, not good with names, laging mali ang nasasakyan na car, pagpush ng door ng office nya eh dapat pull, among others) tapos paka-organized and efficient ni Appa. Sobrang green flag 😍

💕Ang parang di ko lang type, yung back story nila as kids...even in other dramas, yung nagkacross paths na sila in the past tapos yun - the trauma, yung psychological effect sa kanila, ang nagiging issue nila sa present, talaga bang ang liit ng mundo hehehe this time parang they were in the same fire nung mga bata pa sila (si Eunho kaya ang sinave ng papa ni Jiyun. I hope I'm wrong) But let's see how this will be handled.

💕Actors

I've seen #HanJiMin in Our Blues and Behind Your Touch pero yung visuals nya dito, mas gusto ko. Sometimes she resembles Son Ye Jin to me. Ganda ng skin ni ante.

Ankol nyo  #LeeJoonHyuk nasa Our Beloved Summer and Vigilante (syempre nafocus ako kay Nam Joo Hyuk) pero mas gwapo sya dito. Ano ba itong mga.40s na ito, yuma-yummy pa ihhh dumadagdag pa ihhh

Second lead #KimDoHoon (who played a teen in Moving kaya hindi ako maka-get over dahil binata na nga pala itong si tutuy)

So we still have 6 eps to go, pero nasesepanx na ko 🤣🤣🤣

📌Must-see for HR practitioners, headhunters and those who scout for love...

and even those who don't...as Love can be found in the most unexpected place and time...and person...

#lLoveScout streams on Netflix, new episode drops every Friday and Saturday #BuhayKPam
