Our Beloved Summer | Full K-drama Review / Ep. 94 · Daebak K-Rambles Podcast: K-drama Reviews

• 0:19
  I'm Jessica and this is Taba K Rambles where a couple of
• 0:22
  friends review Korean dramas and we are back with another 2021
• 0:26
  drama. I didn't realize this I was
• 0:28
  going to have three reviews in a row from 2021, but here we are.
• 0:32
  I have a couple of friends with me.
• 0:34
  Today I am joined by Becky from Don't Sue Rebecca on TikTok
• 0:39
  slash drama Detours podcast. How are you, Becky?
• 0:42
  I'm doing well. How are you?
• 0:44
  I am doing well. Thank you for being here.
• 0:46
  And we are joined by Liliana from the Tea in Soju podcast.
• 0:51
  How are you, Liliana? I'm doing well.
• 0:54
  Thank you. So excited to record this one
• 0:56
  with you guys. I know we're going to be talking
• 0:58
  about our beloved summer, which we have managed to rewatch and
• 1:04
  and get in our system in the summer time, which was really
• 1:08
  nice, really sweet. What have you guys been watching
• 1:12
  lately? Besides you know our beloved
• 1:14
  summer on and off? Well, I finished up The Prisoner
• 1:18
  of Beauty, loved it. I called it.
• 1:21
  It's going to be one of my top dramas for 2025.
• 1:25
  Like I I will say it right now. I also right before we sat down
• 1:31
  to record, I finished up Feud which is the Bai Lu Xianchi.
• 1:36
  Dramas that not so good. No.
• 1:40
  No, no, I wouldn't like. Oh no, no, Becky, it's not your
• 1:44
  thing, but Shancher and historicals aren't your thing
• 1:47
  anyways. I think if people just go in and
• 1:50
  think this is going to be like your straight up romance story,
• 1:54
  that's not what it's about. Think about the name.
• 1:57
  It's called Feud for a reason. There's a lot of
• 2:00
  misunderstanding, but it's actually done fairly well.
• 2:04
  And once everything kind of comes together, I, I feel like
• 2:08
  this is one of those where the second-half, they're stronger
• 2:11
  than the first. Half.
• 2:13
  People don't like that. No, they don't.
• 2:15
  They don't. I liked it.
• 2:18
  Is it going to be a top drama for me?
• 2:20
  Absolutely not. But I still think it was an OK
• 2:24
  kind of drama. And then I think I'm just
• 2:26
  watching Our Unwritten Soul, which is the K drama with Pat
• 2:31
  Boy Young. And yeah, I think I'll say
• 2:34
  those. I've got a few more, but I think
• 2:36
  those are the three. Well, now that two of them are
• 2:39
  finished, I'll have to start looking for some new stuff to
• 2:43
  sort of fill the gap, which we'll have because we'll have a
• 2:47
  dream within a dream starting. And I'm like, I'm ready for the
• 2:50
  Yinning. I'm ready for the.
• 2:52
  Yinning, it's his year, it's his year.
• 2:55
  It's loaded. Oh, and I'm so glad he's having
• 2:57
  it because he absolutely deserves it.
• 3:01
  Becky, what do you, what do you got going on so.
• 3:03
  Liliana influenced me to start The Prisoner of Beauty and Kid
• 3:09
  you not destroyed my sleep schedule.
• 3:11
  But I'm not mad. I just like I have to figure
• 3:16
  that out because the first night I started watching that drama, I
• 3:20
  think I stayed up till 3:00 in the morning, had watched 8
• 3:24
  episodes straight and then I had work the next day.
• 3:28
  It was a Sunday and I was like, why did I do this to myself?
• 3:34
  But I love it. I adore it.
• 3:36
  But I definitely it's not my normal genre and I'm having a
• 3:40
  really, really fun time with it. The other one I'm watching is
• 3:44
  Our Unwritten Soul and I love that one too.
• 3:47
  It's so good. It's almost ending soon, but
• 3:50
  just a very like healing drama. And then I was talking before.
• 3:54
  It's not really a drama, but I need everybody.
• 3:58
  You don't understand. I will vouch for this movie K
• 4:02
  Pop demon hunters was so good. It was so good to a point it
• 4:06
  exceeded my expectations. But also like just the the
• 4:10
  writing, the style, like it just had the perfect amount of like
• 4:13
  if you watch K dramas and like them, you'll love this because
• 4:16
  they just have they can I say a small it's not even a spoiler,
• 4:21
  but it's just to get the people to watch it.
• 4:23
  They even put the business proposal song in the movie.
• 4:29
  So Easter eggs doing like a. Slow MO song.
• 4:32
  Well, yeah, because the male lead a business proposal is the
• 4:36
  voice actor for the guy in the movie.
• 4:39
  So it's really good and I just need more people to watch it.
• 4:43
  So that's my little promo. You guys should watch it.
• 4:46
  So we got really good plugs for Prisoner of Beauty and K Pop
• 4:51
  Demon Hunters, which is a kids movie on Netflix, not a kids
• 4:56
  movie. Netflix has categorized it as
• 4:59
  kids. Listen, I don't even care if you
• 5:02
  like pneumonia or like Into the Spider verse, it's very well
• 5:07
  done so. Yeah nothing, nothing is not
• 5:10
  well done. Just saying y'all are strung out
• 5:13
  over a kids movie. OK, Anyway, so we are going to
• 5:16
  talk about Our Beloved Summer, which is a very nice, chill
• 5:21
  slice of life show. And I wanted to cover it because
• 5:26
  towards the beginning of the year when I was developing the
• 5:29
  lineup for season 6 of Tibock, I was like, damn, I really feel
• 5:32
  like we're watching our Beloved summer for some odd reason.
• 5:36
  I was like, oh, I'll just make it so that I watch it in the
• 5:39
  summertime even though this was released in the winter time.
• 5:42
  And I still feel like it was a good decision.
• 5:44
  So we're going to get into it though.
• 5:47

• 6:36
  All right, without further ado, we're going to do non spoiler
• 6:39
  and spoiler section for our beloved summer.
• 6:42
  Starting off with the My Drama List synopsis, which reads years
• 6:46
  after filming A viral documentary in high school.
• 6:48
  Two bickering ex lovers get pulled back in front of the
• 6:51
  camera and into each other's lives.
• 6:54
  Chei Wung seems naive and a free spirited man, but he wants to
• 6:58
  have something for the first time in his life.
• 7:00
  For that, he shows what he holds in his mind.
• 7:03
  Kukung SU aimed to become the top student at her school, but
• 7:06
  she is now an adult who lives fiercely, adapting to her
• 7:09
  reality. I don't even know what those
• 7:11
  like sentences are. They're basically just like
• 7:15
  working adults. He's a professional artist and
• 7:18
  they get pulled back in to do a documentary again, a follow up
• 7:22
  doc. The show is inspired by the
• 7:25
  webtoon Our Beloved Summer, which is by E Na in and Hong
• 7:31
  Kong Chao, which is a prequel story that depicts their high
• 7:34
  school days 10 years before the dramas timeline.
• 7:37
  It says here it's a different perspective from their past,
• 7:40
  including how they first met, grew in each other and fell in
• 7:42
  love with each other. The webtoon has a story that
• 7:44
  doesn't show up in a drama sequel.
• 7:47
  Again, I don't know what that storyline is or what what that
• 7:51
  characterization might be looking like that's different in
• 7:54
  the webtoon. Our Beloved Summer aired from
• 7:57
  December 2021 to January 2022 and it is 16 episodes long,
• 8:03
  directed by Kim Yun Din who also directed Tell Me That You Love
• 8:07
  Me and That is it. That is all that the direct.
• 8:11
  Really. Yes.
• 8:13
  I didn't know that is. Shocking.
• 8:15
  Yeah. That is shocking to me.
• 8:18
  Beautiful. I know I was like, whoa, the
• 8:22
  writer Inan and she has written Mellow movie and that's it.
• 8:28
  Like those are the only two things that this screenwriter
• 8:31
  has written. Is our beloved Summer and Mellow
• 8:34
  movie also starring Che Wu Sheik?
• 8:36
  Have you guys seen Mellow movie? I know that me and Liliana have
• 8:40
  seen a portion. I didn't want to cry.
• 8:46
  OK, OK. But also I was seeing a lot of
• 8:49
  mixed reviews. Like, I remember like saying,
• 8:52
  oh, I want to check this out. And like one of my friends wrote
• 8:55
  a paragraph and was like, listen, I really liked it.
• 8:57
  But honestly, it was, you know, and they just were telling me I
• 9:00
  wouldn't like it. And I was like, OK, I won't
• 9:03
  watch it. Did you guys like finish?
• 9:05
  It so I'm about halfway through it.
• 9:07
  And then So what happened was we were going to watch and review
• 9:11
  it for Liliana's podcast. Yeah, Tien sold you.
• 9:16
  And I think you came to me like a week before we were going to
• 9:20
  do the review, Liliana. And you were like, hey, how's it
• 9:24
  going? What's your watch looking like?
• 9:25
  And I was like, oh, I'm like in episode 4 out of 10, you know,
• 9:29
  basically halfway why? And she goes, yeah, I'm not
• 9:32
  feeling this like, we need to switch here.
• 9:34
  And I was like, OK. We need to do something else.
• 9:37
  We need to do something else. So it was initially going to be
• 9:40
  fully, you know, watched. And I probably will go back to
• 9:43
  it. I still have notes on it.
• 9:45
  But yeah, I can totally see how this was written by the same
• 9:51
  screenwriter. Yeah, there's definitely stuff.
• 9:54
  I still have notes on it, so I intend to like go back and I
• 10:01
  have really good notes on it. So do I.
• 10:03
  I don't know, maybe, maybe we'll do a mellow movie, you know,
• 10:08
  review at some point. But anyway, same screenwriter,
• 10:10
  you know, and our beloved summer stars Taylor Chic.
• 10:14
  As I said, he plays Cheung and he has been it doesn't seem like
• 10:18
  it, but he's been in quite a bit. 17 TV shows, 15 movies
• 10:22
  movies like Secretly Greatly Trained to Pusan from 2016,
• 10:26
  which there is a full deep dive review on the tip out feed if
• 10:30
  you want to scroll back because I covered that during spooky
• 10:32
  season last year. He's been an Okja, the Princess
• 10:35
  and the matchmaker. The witch part won the
• 10:38
  Subversion from 2018, which I really really enjoyed.
• 10:43
  I still need to go back and watch part.
• 10:44
  I freaking love that movie. And that is where he first
• 10:47
  worked with King Dami, his Co star in Our Beloved Summer.
• 10:51
  So this is a reunion for them. Chewishik has also been in
• 10:56
  Parasite, the Oscar winning Parasite.
• 10:58
  He's been in Divine Fury, Time to Hunt, Wonderland and then for
• 11:01
  television. I really remember him from
• 11:04
  Rooftop Prince from 2012 and then most recently he's been in
• 11:08
  A Killer Paradox from 2024 which there is a review upon the tea
• 11:14
  and soju feed. Is that a drama trio one?
• 11:19
  I can't remember but. It is.
• 11:21
  It is a drama. Trio, yes.
• 11:23
  So we watched that one. We were not 100 on that one.
• 11:27
  And then Mellow movie, obviously, like we just said, he
• 11:30
  stars in that one as well. It seems like he's got another
• 11:33
  drama that's going to drop this year in 2025 called Would You
• 11:36
  Marry Me? Fingers crossed.
• 11:38
  That's good. It sounds like a romance.
• 11:40
  I don't know. Yeah.
• 11:43
  Do you guys like Chowashi? How do you feel about him?
• 11:46
  I love him, I think he is so talented and I've been wanting
• 11:50
  to check out his most recent projects, but every time I just
• 11:54
  people are like, I don't think it's for you and I'm like, you
• 11:57
  know what, good to know. And I just don't watch him.
• 12:00
  It's like killer Paradox. I remember I like had on my
• 12:03
  list. I was so excited and then it
• 12:05
  came out and you know. You're not going to like it.
• 12:07
  I'll tell you right now, you're not going to.
• 12:08
  Like it, I know well, that's the thing people binge watch it and
• 12:11
  then they just talk about the full thing like no spoiler
• 12:15
  warnings, no nothing. And I just saw like something
• 12:17
  about it and I said, oh, this isn't for me actually I will not
• 12:21
  be supporting but. I think he's a very.
• 12:23
  Talented man. And I specifically, like I said,
• 12:26
  I love the witch subversion so much.
• 12:28
  I actually had a moment where I was getting like everyone to
• 12:32
  watch it. I was like, hey.
• 12:33
  Breaching the good word of. Like the Witcher logging into my
• 12:37
  my Vicky, making them watch the movie and him and his Co star
• 12:44
  Kim Daumi. They're just phenomenal
• 12:46
  together. So like this project and you
• 12:49
  know, our beloved summer like them working together is just it
• 12:52
  was so exciting to see. But I, I do want to check out
• 12:55
  more of his projects. I'll probably will check out the
• 12:57
  one you mentioned that's coming up, but lately I just haven't
• 13:00
  been appealing to me personally. I I really like him, but one of
• 13:07
  the things that I appreciate the most about him, it's the fact of
• 13:11
  how how diverse his projects are because he has this softest
• 13:16
  face, like he very babyface, a soft face.
• 13:20
  And then he plays a character like he did in the witch and
• 13:23
  you're like damn, like the man can really.
• 13:27
  He plays a great psycho character, but he also does a
• 13:31
  great golden retriever kind of character.
• 13:34
  So he's got range, which I can really, really appreciate in an
• 13:38
  actor, I think. Yeah, he's my favorite soft boy.
• 13:42
  I love Time was Chic and I was really excited to watch him
• 13:46
  again in our beloved summer. Kim Dummy is his Co star.
• 13:49
  She plays Kukung Sue. She has not been like noticeably
• 13:53
  hasn't been in that many things TV shows for four television
• 13:58
  shows period, including Ethan one class that was the first
• 14:01
  thing she ever did for television 9 Puzzles recently
• 14:05
  this year. And then it looks like she's got
• 14:07
  another project coming out this year called Memories of #100 on
• 14:12
  JTBC. So it's not not a Netflix, not
• 14:15
  on Disney Plus, you know, regular network.
• 14:18
  And then we've got 6 movies from her, including the witch Part 1,
• 14:22
  the subversion, like I said, the Witch Part 2, it looks like she
• 14:25
  makes an appearance in that one, The great Flood and Soulmate.
• 14:28
  So yeah, kind of a newer face in K drama land.
• 14:32
  But she's been in some bangers like Eaten one class which did
• 14:36
  gangbusters and is really well known.
• 14:39
  There's other people in this cast as well that is kind of
• 14:42
  like, oh, the second male lead is played by Kim Sung Toll and
• 14:45
  like this person's played by so and so.
• 14:47
  And we can go on until, you know, we got the whole cast
• 14:50
  down. But those are our main 2 in our
• 14:53
  beloved summer. So at this point, we're going to
• 14:56
  ask, what did you think of our beloved summer?
• 14:58
  How did you maybe, you know, think about it on this rewatch
• 15:02
  or coming in to do this podcast? I think I enjoyed it.
• 15:09
  It's really nice to actually watch it in summertime because I
• 15:11
  feel like it's such a beautiful vibe.
• 15:14
  I still think this is one of the best directed K dramas that I've
• 15:19
  ever watched. It's just stunning to watch.
• 15:22
  The scenes that I like remembered are just as good.
• 15:26
  I like watching it a second time.
• 15:28
  Their chemistry, the character development, their relationship,
• 15:32
  I enjoyed all of those aspects. I will say the only thing or one
• 15:38
  of the only things that I didn't really care for on a reward, I
• 15:41
  didn't really care for the rest of the cast.
• 15:44
  Like I, I think it's because I had I already knew the story.
• 15:50
  So rewatching it again, I was like, it doesn't that part of
• 15:54
  the story doesn't really activate me that much anymore.
• 15:58
  But you know, with our main couple, I still loved watching
• 16:02
  them and then a story and I had forgotten how the story kind of
• 16:06
  develops anyways. I remembered like little key
• 16:09
  moments, but overall I still enjoyed it as a rewatch.
• 16:14
  But like I said, I didn't navigate towards the secondary
• 16:19
  cast as much as I did the first time around.
• 16:22
  Right, Becky? Listen, I I love this drama so
• 16:27
  much, almost too much and I just have such an attachment to the
• 16:32
  characters, the storyline, the directing, the pacing.
• 16:35
  However, I think there is such a thing as watching a show too
• 16:40
  many times to when it comes to re watching it, you're like, I
• 16:45
  don't care about these characters or like, you know, I
• 16:48
  don't, you know, And I think I, I got to that point because I
• 16:53
  have watched the show. I don't even know how many times
• 16:57
  at this point really. It's like it's, it's a comfort
• 16:59
  drama. So I would put it, I think
• 17:02
  maybe, maybe I'm exaggerate maybe like four or five times.
• 17:05
  Oh wow. OK.
• 17:06
  So well, that's so I think it was a little lackluster for me
• 17:09
  this time just because it's such a comfort show to me.
• 17:14
  But I think I had watched it too recently to like really kind of
• 17:19
  see it from different perspectives.
• 17:20
  Although, you know, I do just adore this show, the music.
• 17:25
  Oh my God it was nostalgic. The OST is hearing unassailable.
• 17:30
  Unassailable OST like top five this.
• 17:34
  Yeah, listening to V sing again, I was just like, as he's coming
• 17:38
  out of the village, I'm just like, this is the perfect time
• 17:41
  for me to be doing this right now.
• 17:43
  It. Was just, it was so nice to hear
• 17:47
  those songs again. It made me want to break out
• 17:49
  like my OST and my record player and just like, but I do love it.
• 17:55
  I always recommend it. The only thing is, you know, if
• 17:58
  you are doing a rewatch, it is a slower drama.
• 18:01
  And I'll never forget because my first time watching this, I
• 18:04
  remember I was watching it ongoing and I paused it because
• 18:07
  like there was not really a lot going on and you know, I was
• 18:10
  busy with life and stuff. Then I went back to it and I'm
• 18:12
  like, why did I ever pause this drama?
• 18:14
  But they're all are lulls that make you want to know, like, you
• 18:18
  know, so if you like fast-paced dramas or you like, this is more
• 18:23
  of a relaxing comfort drama, and I love it.
• 18:26
  But for me, yeah, the rewatch, it was still good.
• 18:30
  It was still good. But that's my little confession.
• 18:33
  OK, no, it's not much of A confession because I'm, I'm
• 18:35
  there with you. I ate this drama up the first
• 18:39
  time that I watched it. I watched it I think as it was
• 18:42
  airing in 2021 into 2022. It was our second, you know,
• 18:46
  pandemic holiday season and then into the new year.
• 18:50
  So I think it caught us at a really good time in our lives
• 18:54
  where we really, we're slowing down, like as a society.
• 18:58
  And so I think maybe our attention spans were a little
• 19:01
  better several years ago than it is now.
• 19:04
  I kind of want to say I felt that there was a lot that they
• 19:08
  probably could have cut out on this rewatch and it would have
• 19:11
  made the drama better. And maybe 16 episodes was too
• 19:15
  much for what the story is. And I kind of was shocked
• 19:22
  because several months ago, this was already when I had decided
• 19:25
  I'm going to do Our Beloved summer.
• 19:26
  I'm going to rewatch Our Beloved summer.
• 19:28
  I found out that people didn't like Our beloved summer.
• 19:32
  What? Yes, I had been reading some
• 19:35
  discourse in the comments sections is about our beloved
• 19:38
  summer. It was getting a lot of slander
• 19:39
  and I was kind of shocked that people didn't like it.
• 19:44
  And funny enough, the Koreans also didn't like it.
• 19:47
  So it had really disappointing ratings on domestic television.
• 19:52
  But it became widely popular internationally due to
• 19:56
  streaming. So this is another case of the
• 19:58
  Koreans were watching this. I think it was 3 to 5% average
• 20:02
  was the viewership. That is not good ratings at all.
• 20:07
  And I think the finale episode was the most that people had
• 20:11
  watched it at like. 5.3 percent, 5.9% in Seoul.
• 20:17
  Nobody watched this. In Korea, this was not.
• 20:19
  This was ranked like 17th, 19th, 20th like around there for K
• 20:24
  dramas that were airing to set the scene.
• 20:26
  The next K drama that became big right after this finished airing
• 20:29
  was Business Proposal. So you can see like around the
• 20:34
  same time what people were frenzied around and our beloved
• 20:39
  summer is a totally different pace.
• 20:42
  It is really freaking slow. It's a almost like a dreamy,
• 20:47
  atmospheric slice of life show and I loved it on the rewatch.
• 20:54
  I still really, really liked it, but not as much as I did the
• 20:58
  first time. And I found somebody, somebody's
• 21:02
  comment because you know how you can leave reviews in my drama
• 21:05
  list? So.
• 21:07
  On this one I decided to read the first couple.
• 21:10
  The first one was a good review. The second one said my beloved
• 21:13
  time dot dot dot wasted. That's I'll be started their
• 21:18
  review and I was like expand like quickly.
• 21:21
  I wanted to see what they said because it hit me very
• 21:25
  positively. I really like this show.
• 21:28
  I thought it was super nostalgic and you know, to summer refers
• 21:33
  to like the summer of your life, right?
• 21:36
  I loved that concept. I loved the second chance
• 21:39
  romance and I really really enjoyed large swaths of the show
• 21:43
  even on 2nd watch. This person says I've never been
• 21:47
  as disappointed in a drama as I was with this one.
• 21:53
  It started off well with beautiful cinematography and OS
• 21:56
  TS, fun plot, good actors. That's where it all ends.
• 22:01
  They said it after the first few episodes it felt monotonous and
• 22:04
  repetitive. The lovey dovey moments, thought
• 22:08
  out characters, fun bickering. They were missing depth is what
• 22:12
  they were saying. At any point, stop me and we can
• 22:15
  like talk through some of these accusations.
• 22:17
  I agree on that necessarily, yeah.
• 22:20
  No, they, I think they went into a lot of it, especially with the
• 22:23
  flashbacks of how you got to see how each character handled all
• 22:28
  those emotions and everything that happened to them in the
• 22:31
  story. Like, I don't, I don't agree
• 22:34
  with that. It says the trailer seemed
• 22:35
  fresh, nuanced, promise. All this.
• 22:38
  Afterwards, everything was dull. Filler is what they said this
• 22:43
  drama was. The biggest issue was despite
• 22:45
  all the love professions acute mimmons, I didn't care for the
• 22:48
  couple very much. After showing us how Yongsu
• 22:50
  constantly broke up with him whenever she wanted, the
• 22:53
  immature miscommunications, the imbalances in the relationship,
• 22:56
  I just didn't want to see them together.
• 22:58
  So she didn't even root. This person didn't even root for
• 23:01
  the main couple. See like.
• 23:04
  The relationship is real though. Couples go through these things.
• 23:08
  It's realistic as like what is to happen?
• 23:12
  Liliana, what were you going? To say, well, I was going to say
• 23:17
  there is when you're thinking about the whole thing of she
• 23:22
  does just I, I personally, and it hit me way more on this
• 23:26
  second rewatch. I personally hate couples that
• 23:31
  are just like, let's break up, let's get back together, let's
• 23:34
  break up, let's get back together.
• 23:36
  And the fact that she does just throw a breakup charge
• 23:42
  constantly and his friend next door is just like just go and
• 23:47
  apologize. And there's like no real chatter
• 23:51
  between them, no real like communication in the past in the
• 23:55
  flashbacks. I feel like there's a little bit
• 23:58
  more in the, you know, current time.
• 24:02
  I feel like as they develop, they become better communicators
• 24:08
  with each other and they tell each other stuff that they
• 24:11
  didn't know before. And that's when you start to
• 24:14
  sort of root. I think they, but The thing is,
• 24:17
  by the end, I feel like they're, they're still a work in progress
• 24:22
  in a relationship and that that's realistic because a
• 24:26
  relationship at the end of the day is a constant work in
• 24:29
  progress. So I feel like saying, you know,
• 24:34
  yes, they're immature. They were kids.
• 24:37
  They were like, what, 1617 when they first started dating?
• 24:41
  Well, they were older than that because they were seniors
• 24:44
  basically in high school, which means they were 1819 years old,
• 24:49
  and then they dated for five years, so they were around 25
• 24:53
  years old. Their brains weren't fully.
• 24:56
  Developed. Yeah, they still weren't full
• 24:58
  adults. Yeah, I think they both had like
• 25:02
  levels of immaturity. And there's definitely a lot of
• 25:05
  character development that they both had to go through.
• 25:09
  But now I will agree with Liliana and with like the whole
• 25:13
  her doing like, if you if you don't say the specific things
• 25:17
  like I, I don't want to be with you or like, you know, let's
• 25:19
  break up. And that was a little annoying,
• 25:22
  especially because I want like you want to root for, but then
• 25:25
  you see how immature she was in the past.
• 25:27
  But I mean, everyone grows and learns from their mistakes, so.
• 25:30
  This person said that it could have been a great healing drama,
• 25:33
  but instead they felt the opposite, like they were
• 25:36
  codependent because Teun could only sleep with Yunsu by his
• 25:41
  side and Yunsu felt empty without him.
• 25:45
  And I thought that was a really harsh accusation to level
• 25:49
  against the show. Yeah, the fact that they called
• 25:53
  them codependent, I was like, OK, look, they had to basically
• 25:58
  face a lot of things on their own individually and then
• 26:01
  together. And to me, this person like,
• 26:04
  really didn't like the first love aspect because they are
• 26:09
  each other's first love and then they come back.
• 26:11
  It's a second chance romance type of deal.
• 26:14
  And they were like, it's OK to not stay with the person that
• 26:17
  who was your first love. And absolutely that's true.
• 26:20
  True in real life, true in K drama land.
• 26:22
  But that's where the magic is, is that they were in the prime
• 26:28
  of their lives together, making mistakes, being flawed together.
• 26:36
  And there is that immaturity like we talked about.
• 26:39
  And then they break up and when they get back together they
• 26:41
  still have shit that they have to like, get over.
• 26:45
  Yeah. I would say that the positive of
• 26:48
  this show is that it is brutally realistic in that sense.
• 26:53
  Did you guys feel like that was, you know, a pro to the show
• 26:57
  instead of a con? I liked it.
• 27:00
  I think it's definitely a pro. I could see, see, I, I could see
• 27:06
  myself a little bit in the relationship.
• 27:09
  I look, I've been together with my partner since I was 18.
• 27:13
  I'm now 32. Like we've been together a
• 27:15
  really long time. The relationship we had when we
• 27:17
  were, you know, I was 18, he was 21.
• 27:20
  And the relationship we have now where, you know, we're both in
• 27:25
  our 30s is very different. We communicate, OK, so much
• 27:30
  different and I think that's a pro to this show because it does
• 27:34
  do that to they go, they have. And actually I feel like that
• 27:39
  breakup worked in their favour because they were forced to sort
• 27:44
  of go and deal with their stuff. And that's something that I
• 27:47
  don't usually say. I don't usually like breakups in
• 27:51
  a show, but in this one, it makes complete sense for them to
• 27:55
  do that. It is a pro that it is realistic
• 27:58
  because K dramas don't necessarily all the time have to
• 28:01
  be, you know, so far fetched that you can't see characters
• 28:06
  being out there in the real world.
• 28:09
  And that is the case. Like you could see these
• 28:11
  characters. This could be a story happening
• 28:14
  in real life, right? And people aren't going to vibe.
• 28:17
  Not everybody's going to vibe with that.
• 28:20
  And I feel like what this commenter is saying is they
• 28:23
  didn't vibe with the couple. And if you're not going to vibe
• 28:26
  with the couple, you're not going to make the.
• 28:28
  Couple say you're not just going to like the.
• 28:29
  Show they said Yongsu and Eng were kind of boring both in and
• 28:33
  out of the relationship. I didn't.
• 28:36
  I didn't ever feel that they had that strong of a connection and
• 28:39
  I never got why they kept breaking up and getting back
• 28:42
  together in the 1st place. Overall their relationship just
• 28:45
  didn't work for me. And yes, they were cute during
• 28:46
  the end, but it doesn't make up for everything else.
• 28:50
  I don't think this person's been in a relationship not to.
• 28:54
  I'm just going to say that no, but this is the thing that like
• 28:57
  anyone would understand in a relationship.
• 29:00
  And that's why these dramas, you know when you watch them, it's
• 29:03
  great to see character development.
• 29:04
  It's great to see communication, but every relationship has its
• 29:09
  ups and downs. Sometimes there's
• 29:11
  miscommunication, sometimes you don't agree with one another.
• 29:14
  The biggest thing is talking that out, having that
• 29:16
  communication and having an understanding of what your
• 29:20
  partner needs and helping them, but also them helping you.
• 29:24
  You know, that's the biggest thing.
• 29:25
  I liked our beloved summer. Like, here's my thing.
• 29:30
  I didn't mean to get you guys upset, like, no.
• 29:32
  No, I just know this is interesting because it's the
• 29:35
  first time I've ever heard someone say like that much
• 29:37
  negative things about this drama.
• 29:38
  And I just, it's like engraved in my heart.
• 29:41
  So here's my thing. There are so many dramas where
• 29:44
  the couple gets together and then they break up for like the
• 29:47
  last three episodes, right? I think that is the stupidest
• 29:51
  thing. So I like this drama because we
• 29:55
  don't have to like we're seeing those flashbacks, but we're also
• 29:59
  seeing them, them build this whole new relationship, build a
• 30:03
  better version of themselves and grow with each other, which I
• 30:07
  adore. And I just, I really think this
• 30:11
  commenter that's just like, oh, they're boring.
• 30:13
  They they just relationships can be boring.
• 30:16
  Call me boring then. Because this is not all
• 30:18
  exciting. This is literally.
• 30:19
  Me, I go to work, I come home like, yeah, what do you want?
• 30:24
  And like, even if it's a show that they're they're looking for
• 30:27
  excitement, I mean, I'm I'm pretty sure is the tag slice of
• 30:30
  life or like it's, it's, it's a nice healing.
• 30:33
  Like, it's just not supposed to be like, riveting.
• 30:37
  Like is there supposed to be like cheating and like crazy?
• 30:39
  Slot heavy show. First of all, I am a plot.
• 30:42
  Person. I am a plot person.
• 30:44
  This is not a plot heavy show, OK?
• 30:46
  This is vibes. Yes, this is a lot of vibes.
• 30:49
  The genres listed in my drama list are romance, life, Youth,
• 30:53
  Drama. There you go, that's.
• 30:56
  The tags are lovers, reunited, second chance, romance, high
• 31:00
  school sweethearts, character development, first love,
• 31:05
  healing, flashback to pass, love slash, hate, relationship
• 31:09
  interview, and coming of age. So those are the tags that my
• 31:14
  drama list has. I think interview was just
• 31:16
  thrown. In Yeah, I don't.
• 31:18
  I've never like I need to click on interview and see what other
• 31:21
  dramas are in. Somebody asked me my favorite
• 31:23
  type of drama. I go the interview drama.
• 31:26
  Interview dramas. The interview dramas, Irving.
• 31:29
  Bro, bro. So if you had to give an
• 31:34
  elevator pitch to someone who's on the fence about watching our
• 31:38
  beloved summer, what? What would your pitch be?
• 31:41
  I think my elevator pitch would be two people, second chance
• 31:46
  romance because you got to throw that out there straight away.
• 31:49
  You have to. Like list the tropes.
• 31:50
  Yeah, second chance romance with two floored people on a Rd. to
• 31:58
  make themselves better. Something along those lines.
• 32:02
  Very. Nice, I like that.
• 32:05
  I feel like mine would be more like trying to rope.
• 32:09
  So I I does my pitch. You know I OK.
• 32:12
  You like enemies to lovers, right?
• 32:14
  Absolutely. What if they already dated
• 32:17
  before that and then they broke up, Met again, but obviously
• 32:22
  they're not on the same page anymore.
• 32:23
  He hates her. She's just trying to, I don't
• 32:26
  know if I say work with him, that's kind of a spoil anyways,
• 32:29
  right? So they end up going back into
• 32:32
  each other's lives and they have all grown significantly from
• 32:35
  when they dated. And they get to learn about the
• 32:39
  person that they their first love and how much they've grown
• 32:43
  and changed and grow and love the new version of them.
• 32:48
  I like that it's. Beautiful.
• 32:49
  I love the documentary aspect of the show that was pretty unique
• 32:54
  when it first came out. And so the concept of the
• 32:57
  documentary and the thesis, I guess, of the whole show is that
• 33:00
  it's the ordinary moments, the mundane moments in life that
• 33:05
  make up our story. And sometimes you have to take a
• 33:08
  step back and be the documentarian and say, wow,
• 33:12
  sometimes I can't see it because I'm in the middle of this shit.
• 33:14
  But like, this is, this is my life.
• 33:17
  These are the best parts of my life.
• 33:19
  And it is the everyday moments where I'm going to see my friend
• 33:22
  who owns a a pub and she's trying to get business going.
• 33:26
  And it's when I am out here watering my front lawn and my
• 33:32
  flower beds. And it's when I'm peeling onions
• 33:35
  for my parents restaurant business and it's soup.
• 33:39
  Putting up zucchini too too big and putting it in soup.
• 33:45
  Yes, it's chopping, being in a complete daze, being strung out
• 33:49
  over the sky and chopping zucchini too large to put in
• 33:52
  soup, but doing it anyway. Those are the moments that make
• 33:56
  life interesting and fun, and that's what you remember.
• 33:59
  And that would be in my documentary too.
• 34:02
  You know, all of us would have a really boring quote UN quote
• 34:05
  documentary if they made one about us and the story is there.
• 34:11
  It's really simple and I like it.
• 34:14
  Each each episode sometimes has the name of a movie attached to
• 34:18
  it, which sometimes doesn't have anything to do with the movie
• 34:23
  that like it's referencing, But that's fine.
• 34:26
  It's it's all for cute show. It has Swarovski flip phones,
• 34:31
  subway product placement, I mean all the good stuff.
• 34:35
  A classic K drop. Classy.
• 34:36
  It's a classy K drop and it's slow and I think it probably
• 34:41
  works best when you don't binge the show.
• 34:44
  Yeah, no, I I feel like it's definitely, it's not, it's not a
• 34:50
  binge watch because, you know, there's no cliffhangers at the
• 34:53
  end of every episode that you're like, I need to know what
• 34:55
  happens next. It's kind of just it's something
• 34:57
  you watch slow paced. But I want to go back to what
• 35:00
  you said about if they made our lives documentaries because we
• 35:03
  spend most of our time watching shows.
• 35:05
  Literally. So it would literally just be us
• 35:08
  watching shows that's. It watching TV, yelling at the.
• 35:12
  Screen. Falling asleep watching your
• 35:14
  show. Like this, this reminds me this
• 35:19
  conversation and back to what that commenter was saying about
• 35:22
  like how boring it is and whatnot.
• 35:25
  And and specifically about like relationships being boring and
• 35:29
  whatnot. There's this this is completely
• 35:31
  off base, but it's also related. There was this series on TikTok
• 35:35
  about this creator who was making who like he does skits,
• 35:40
  right? And one of the skits was about
• 35:42
  this woman who just come home and talk to her husband about
• 35:47
  what they were going to cook for dinner and how her day was.
• 35:50
  And it's like the most mundane things ever, right?
• 35:55
  And tons of you could see the difference like women and even
• 35:59
  men, but mostly women, all in the comments were just like,
• 36:04
  this is the dream. This is this is the dream
• 36:07
  because because you're just coming home to talk about
• 36:09
  whether it's your partner, whether you know it's your
• 36:12
  roommate, your whoever you live with, you're just coming home to
• 36:16
  somebody to talk about your day and whatnot.
• 36:19
  And isn't that like the most mundane yet wonderful thing?
• 36:24
  It's practice. And then we do this exactly 365
• 36:27
  days a year. Yeah.
• 36:29
  Like, give me a break. Like some of these K dramas.
• 36:32
  I feel like that was a really harsh like review of it and.
• 36:36
  That was. They probably should have just
• 36:38
  dropped it. Some people just don't.
• 36:40
  They don't drop drama, so they keep going and then they're
• 36:42
  like, really? They hate watch it.
• 36:44
  So I don't like hate watching but anyway.
• 36:47
  No. We're going to give our scores
• 36:49
  and then we're going to get into the spoiler section, which
• 36:51
  again, this is a very slice of life, mundane drama.
• 36:54
  Not much to spoil, but we'll get into it.
• 36:57
  So how many Hoju bottles would you give our beloved summer?
• 37:04
  I've been thinking about this just like if it was my first
• 37:09
  watch I would have probably been like, I don't know, a 4.5 or
• 37:15
  something along those lines because I loved it so much.
• 37:19
  But nowadays I feel like it's more like a 3.5 for soju bottles
• 37:28
  around about that. Probably like a 3.5 I would say
• 37:31
  for me. Yeah, I would say about the
• 37:34
  same. I think what Liliana said
• 37:37
  earlier on just about how like some of the characters you're
• 37:40
  just like, I don't, I don't like you actually.
• 37:43
  So just skip their scenes because you're like, I just, you
• 37:46
  know, so I think that was me and my rewatch.
• 37:50
  I was just like, I don't think I ever liked this character.
• 37:53
  So why am I watching a scene with only them in it, you know,
• 37:56
  and then just kind of skipping through it.
• 37:58
  But I still love the message of, you know, finding who you are
• 38:03
  again and having that second chance romance and also creating
• 38:07
  new memories. But you know, getting to see
• 38:09
  those flashbacks with the old and seeing how much they've
• 38:11
  grown as individual people and then seeing them grow together.
• 38:17
  Absolutely. So I'm going to go on the higher
• 38:20
  side because it's it's only half of soulju, but I'll give it 4
• 38:24
  out of five Soulju bottles. That is what I gave it when I
• 38:27
  initially watched the show and I'll just go ahead and give it
• 38:30
  the same thing now. I think the things that bothered
• 38:34
  me back then are probably not the same things that bothered me
• 38:36
  now. So it's probably going to shake
• 38:39
  out the same anyway. But it definitely made me
• 38:41
  nostalgic for a time or a romanticized high school and
• 38:46
  university years in a way that I have never done in my own life,
• 38:50
  which is strange to say, but I don't want to.
• 38:54
  People are like, don't you miss high school?
• 38:55
  Fuck no, I do not miss high school.
• 38:58
  I don't miss college. Like I don't miss that time at
• 39:00
  all. But this show is maybe very
• 39:02
  sentimental for that time in my life, even though it looks
• 39:06
  wildly different for these characters.
• 39:09
  And I think this show captured the essence of youth, the
• 39:12
  playfulness of it. And these characters are
• 39:16
  extremely flawed, but it was worth it to see them work
• 39:20
  through their issues. You know, this show has a lot of
• 39:24
  like themes of abandonment and, and feelings of inferiority.
• 39:28
  Like how are you going to get through those feelings and heal
• 39:32
  through that when you still want to be with the person who that
• 39:35
  you're like, messing things up with because of these issues?
• 39:38
  So it's tough. I love that the docu series had
• 39:43
  the flavor of When Harry Metzali, which is like my
• 39:46
  favorite ROM com of all time. It does the same thing as When
• 39:49
  Harry Metzali and I just think it had a beautiful vibe.
• 39:55
  Beautiful vibe. So 4 out of five soju bottles.
• 40:00
  And with that, we are going to talk about spoilers for our
• 40:05
  beloved summer. Excuse me, you know I have no
• 40:09
  Jingle. Oh, sorry.
• 40:21
  OK, we're on the other side of spoilers, so we are going to
• 40:24
  spoil whatever is left of our beloved summer.
• 40:27
  Like I said, it's pretty pretty simple story set up, but I have
• 40:31
  here in episode 1, which is titled I know what you did last
• 40:35
  summer. Now it has nothing to do with
• 40:37
  the, you know, hook wielding mass murderer like I know what
• 40:41
  you did last summer does, but we'll get into this nostalgia
• 40:47
  ridden 2011 that they have going on here, because that's where we
• 40:50
  start our story and we find out a lot about our two characters.
• 40:53
  Something that was kind of irking me in a lot of the
• 40:57
  comments was like people didn't. When I say a lot of the
• 41:00
  comments, I mean like all over social media and of course
• 41:03
  riddled through this MDL comment review that I read in the non
• 41:08
  spoiler section. People didn't understand why Yun
• 41:11
  SU, like, would break up with him in the past.
• 41:15
  Like, why even break up? It's been five years.
• 41:18
  You know, you've gone through ups and downs, you've broken up
• 41:20
  on and off, you're the on and off couple.
• 41:23
  And finally you decide to, like, end it.
• 41:25
  Why? And in Episode 1, like, we get
• 41:28
  so much of their essence and their characters just when
• 41:33
  they're doing these flashback sequences.
• 41:35
  And he says our male lead says what bothers him most is selfish
• 41:40
  people. And she says to rebut that
• 41:43
  because they're doing like these interviews, like side by side,
• 41:45
  it's so messy. So she says people who cause
• 41:49
  trouble for others, if you want to fail, then go fail on your
• 41:52
  own. Why do you have to drag others
• 41:54
  down with you? Which in that moment, she's
• 41:56
  doing that as like a Barb to him because he's a slacker in
• 42:00
  school. He's an academic slacker.
• 42:02
  But this comes into play later because she feels that way about
• 42:06
  everybody, including herself. She doesn't want to drag others
• 42:10
  down to her misery, her level, her struggles.
• 42:16
  She considers it a failure if she has an audience to watch her
• 42:20
  fail. And so that's literally like
• 42:23
  you're given kind of the recent right off the bat in these
• 42:28
  little back and forth that they have in the docu series.
• 42:32
  And he says, all I want is a peaceful life.
• 42:34
  Well, if all hell is breaking loose in her life, why would she
• 42:38
  drag her little boyfriend who's really soft, doesn't like to do
• 42:42
  any work, doesn't want to have a hard life.
• 42:46
  He wants to live a peaceful life.
• 42:48
  Like she's not going to drag that oaf down with her.
• 42:51
  I, I, you know, I had a lot of grace for her the first time
• 42:56
  around and I had a little bit less grace for her this second
• 42:59
  time around. Especially her like antics in
• 43:02
  the present day. What is what is seen as the
• 43:04
  present day. I was like, I don't know, she's
• 43:07
  grown, she should know better. But when she was younger and the
• 43:10
  reason why they broke up, I totally understood it.
• 43:12
  How did you guys feel about their breakup?
• 43:15
  I, I think I didn't mind it. And it's also because they are
• 43:20
  very, very different characters from each other, right?
• 43:25
  Their belief systems are very different and their backgrounds
• 43:28
  are very different and they are kind of reflections of what life
• 43:34
  has kind of brought them. So it's kind of one of those
• 43:37
  situations where you're looking at it and I'm thinking, I don't
• 43:43
  agree with you, but I can see why you're making the decisions
• 43:46
  that you're making. And that is a very important
• 43:50
  distinction to make. A lot of people just like throw,
• 43:54
  oh, but I would have done this and I would have done that, yes.
• 43:57
  But you don't have the life experience that that character
• 44:01
  has. So your actions are obviously
• 44:04
  going to be different. So it's definitely one of those
• 44:06
  situations where I always think I don't like what you're doing.
• 44:11
  I don't agree with it, but I can understand why you're doing it.
• 44:15
  She was struggling. She was truly struggling, and
• 44:18
  she doesn't want other people to see her struggle.
• 44:22
  She doesn't want other people to see her failing at what she's
• 44:25
  doing. So she's.
• 44:27
  So prideful she is. She's so.
• 44:30
  Prideful. She's so stubborn.
• 44:33
  She doesn't want to be vulnerable, you know, she
• 44:35
  doesn't want to expose, you know, the weakness facade that
• 44:39
  she's doing and the and her weaknesses.
• 44:41
  Definitely because she's such a strong character.
• 44:44
  And you see in the beginning her belief system and how she's
• 44:46
  like, I'm going to be someone, I'm going to be great.
• 44:49
  I'm going to, you know, And then as things pan out, she's like,
• 44:54
  this isn't, I don't want people to see this.
• 44:58
  Yeah, exactly. And I think it's even more
• 45:01
  obvious later on. This is like a quote from very
• 45:06
  much later on. It's from episode 13.
• 45:09
  But they've gotten together and everything.
• 45:11
  And she just says, I always have to be more careful at times like
• 45:15
  these because misery often comes disguised as happiness.
• 45:18
  And you're thinking, you know, that encapsulates her character,
• 45:23
  doesn't it? She's like in.
• 45:24
  Fight or flight all the time. Exactly.
• 45:26
  Constantly. Constantly and that is very
• 45:30
  draining on a person to be like that all the time.
• 45:33
  Now imagine having to bring somebody else into that who
• 45:38
  isn't like that at all and who is very different from you and
• 45:42
  just kind of rolls with the punches.
• 45:45
  So you know, I, I completely understood where she was coming
• 45:50
  from, even though I don't necessarily agree with her
• 45:53
  actions or her decisions. And The thing is like a lot of
• 45:56
  people will argue for well, if she had just explained to him
• 46:01
  that. Like what's?
• 46:02
  Happening. Yeah.
• 46:03
  Just communicate, yes. But that is the whole point.
• 46:07
  She doesn't want to communicate because she doesn't want to be
• 46:10
  in that position. She doesn't want him to see that
• 46:13
  from her. So because she's always been
• 46:16
  seen as this very smart, intelligent girl who has
• 46:19
  everything together and everything like, you know, her
• 46:23
  life is all together. So, you know, what is she going
• 46:27
  to do? Yeah.
• 46:29
  So yeah. There was that flashback
• 46:31
  sequence, which I paid a little more attention to this time
• 46:33
  around, where I think she had some friends in middle school or
• 46:37
  high school who would often ask her to go out with them for
• 46:40
  lunch or go to the convenience store or whatever.
• 46:42
  And she would always be like, no, no, thank you, it's fine,
• 46:45
  thank you for inviting me. But no.
• 46:46
  And they would bring her back stuff, bring her back a little
• 46:49
  like banana milk or what have you, little snacks that she
• 46:52
  could have. And she overhears them one day
• 46:54
  talking shit about her and saying, oh, so she never says
• 46:57
  yes to to coming with us. And then she never gets us
• 47:01
  anything, even though we get her snacks and we get her all these
• 47:04
  things when we go out. And she never gets us anything
• 47:07
  in return. And there was another girl in
• 47:09
  that group that was like, yeah, but we never like, she doesn't
• 47:12
  ask us to bring her anything from these stores.
• 47:14
  Like we're just doing it of our own volition.
• 47:17
  But there is this recipe. The concept of reciprocity is
• 47:21
  brought up here, even in the flashback sequence where she
• 47:25
  cannot give what is customary or what what is, what is seen as
• 47:30
  like the bare minimum for other people in society.
• 47:34
  Like there should be a give and take.
• 47:37
  And if they bring her something, she should also bring them
• 47:39
  something the next time. And she doesn't.
• 47:42
  She's so poor that she can't even do that in middle school
• 47:46
  and in school. And that plays out in their
• 47:50
  relationship, too, because he is very giving toward her.
• 47:53
  He is so sweet toward her, and she never reciprocates in the
• 47:59
  same way, shape or form. She does it in her own way.
• 48:03
  Like, they have different love languages, sure, but when she
• 48:06
  has to kind of like shore up her grandmother got sick and then
• 48:11
  her uncle's debts are being called in and they like overturn
• 48:15
  her entire apartment and things are going haywire in her life,
• 48:19
  she totally can't reciprocate anything that he could have
• 48:24
  given to her in this time period.
• 48:26
  She doesn't like to owe people. Yeah.
• 48:30
  I thought that was a very important scene and I don't know
• 48:33
  if you guys picked up on any other little things that really,
• 48:37
  you know, spoke to her character.
• 48:39
  I think you can see where she's coming from, You know, even the
• 48:44
  scene when right before they break up, right, And you get to
• 48:48
  see her practice in the mirror saying to him, I want to break
• 48:54
  up with you. And it's just like she had to
• 48:57
  say it so many times in front of the mirror so that she would be
• 49:02
  able to carry that out, to say it to him without any emotion.
• 49:07
  And then she turns around and you can see all the emotion kind
• 49:11
  of hit her at once. And I feel like that's what she
• 49:14
  is. She hides a lot behind all of
• 49:17
  these walls that she builds, and it's really, really difficult to
• 49:22
  get through to her. But he does it in, you know, he
• 49:25
  kind of just blunders his way through kind of life.
• 49:29
  Disarms her so easily and he doesn't even realize he's doing
• 49:33
  it. So it's just kind of what's
• 49:35
  special about them, Becky. Liliana, when you said that, it
• 49:39
  just made me realize. So you said she had to practice
• 49:44
  it so many times in the mirror to say it.
• 49:46
  Do you know who else practice something so many times to do?
• 49:50
  Our man, when he was going to spray water and throw salt, they
• 49:53
  were like he practiced so many times to do this.
• 49:59
  And I just do. That that's true.
• 50:02
  That is true, yeah. But she's really pitiful I think
• 50:07
  in her younger years and also kind of hard to like because she
• 50:12
  is so gruff. She is so aggressive and her
• 50:16
  grandmother says being hot tempered is a must when you're
• 50:19
  poor. Don't let others look down on
• 50:21
  you. It's armor.
• 50:23
  It's all armor that she needs to survive because people are even
• 50:29
  when she wasn't even doing anything.
• 50:32
  People are like talking shit about her, you know, Just her
• 50:35
  manner was upsetting to them and pride and keeping what little
• 50:42
  dignity she had was was everything to her.
• 50:45
  I thought that was important. And she's so petty.
• 50:48
  I love that she's petty though. Yeah, I like that she's petty.
• 50:51
  It's the best part and and then they're both petty to each.
• 50:54
  Other they are. Petty.
• 50:56
  It's like a petty off, like I love it.
• 51:00
  Yeah, I think he is really petty as well.
• 51:03
  That's that scene. And I think there was a story in
• 51:06
  episode 3 which is called 10 Things I Hate About You.
• 51:10
  It's like uncovering. All of the little things that
• 51:12
  make them horrible, it's one I'm just going to drop that that's
• 51:15
  one of my all time favorite movies.
• 51:17
  Just. It is I.
• 51:19
  It's a good. I love 10 Things I Hate About
• 51:22
  You. Loved it.
• 51:24
  I do too, but he's petty as shit because when he was a kid, he
• 51:29
  was trying to get back at the second male lead, the other own
• 51:32
  character. He was like, oh, I'll give him
• 51:34
  shaved ice with Peaches on top because he's allergic to
• 51:37
  Peaches. Hello.
• 51:39
  They're both allergic to Peaches and they both get sent to the
• 51:43
  emergency room. And this like is a huge like,
• 51:48
  you could say it's a red flag, but it's also just like he is so
• 51:51
  petty that he's willing. The second male lead says he's
• 51:54
  so he's a type who's willing to endure his own pain if it means
• 51:58
  he can make others suffer just as badly, if not worse.
• 52:03
  And the fact that he himself was also allergic to Peaches and
• 52:07
  eating shaved ice with Peaches just to get back at this other
• 52:11
  guy. I mean, honestly, that and
• 52:13
  that's him as a child. Yeah, he gets so much worse as
• 52:18
  an adult. He grows.
• 52:20
  It's like grows. Yeah, yeah.
• 52:24
  I will say I do appreciate the fact that the pettiness never
• 52:27
  goes away between them. It's like a constant and I
• 52:31
  really enjoy that because it makes the relationship fun and
• 52:36
  it makes their banter really good between each other.
• 52:39
  Yes. So yeah.
• 52:41
  Yeah, I like that there's nobody in his drawings.
• 52:44
  He never draws people. And when they ask him about an
• 52:47
  episode, when he says, I love things that don't change, but
• 52:50
  people change or disappear over time.
• 52:53
  That's why there are no people or time in my works.
• 52:56
  Which is a very beautiful poetic thought.
• 53:00
  But it also stems from he was abandoned as a child and he
• 53:05
  doesn't like impermanence and thickleness of people and the
• 53:09
  way that he can just be abandoned.
• 53:12
  And the breakup was really severe for him.
• 53:15
  But it's because he has abandonment issues.
• 53:18
  Yeah, and The thing is, a lot of people will crap on our female.
• 53:22
  She didn't know any of this. Like she don't know, no.
• 53:26
  Idea. She had no idea this was a thing
• 53:30
  because like, his mom speaks to her and she says to Yongsu, he
• 53:35
  took the breakup really, really badly.
• 53:38
  Like, he took it really badly. And she's like to her, you know,
• 53:44
  it does affect her as well. It's just in different ways than
• 53:47
  it affects him. He kind of almost shuts down.
• 53:50
  And, yeah, whereas she just diverts the energy into
• 53:56
  something else. And it's just different ways of
• 54:00
  dealing with pain and with life. And I think that's a thing that
• 54:06
  this show is actually quite good as well.
• 54:07
  Is that like showing how people deal with different situations,
• 54:12
  You know, And this one's quite obvious about that.
• 54:15
  She's also very selfish. And I feel like that plays into
• 54:20
  they were together for five years and she never delved into
• 54:25
  his childhood, never asked about him growing up, maybe poked
• 54:28
  around in such a way where he would feel comfortable with
• 54:32
  telling her, hey, I've had nightmares since I was a child
• 54:37
  about being abandoned in the streets.
• 54:40
  And I know that whoever I am looking for is not my parents.
• 54:45
  And, you know, I know that I'm adopted.
• 54:49
  But also, like, if you look on the other side, it's what we
• 54:52
  were talking about earlier about being reciprocal.
• 54:56
  And I think she doesn't poke because she herself does not
• 54:59
  want to be poked. So I think that's sort of the
• 55:02
  biggest things about her character.
• 55:04
  And what it is, is it's not that she doesn't want to know.
• 55:08
  It's not that she doesn't like him.
• 55:10
  It's not that she doesn't love him.
• 55:12
  It's that she herself does not want to talk about her past.
• 55:16
  And if he talks about it, then there's going to be, you know,
• 55:20
  or if she digs into his, then there's going to be a want for
• 55:26
  him to, you know, for her to reciprocate that.
• 55:29
  And she doesn't want to do it. So I, I think that's what it is
• 55:33
  about, you know, those characters.
• 55:35
  And I also feel it was just a couple of episodes where they
• 55:37
  were going into their each. But especially him, he's very
• 55:42
  avoidant. He loves to run away from
• 55:44
  things. Anything that's hard, anything
• 55:46
  that he doesn't feel like doing, he just ever since he was a
• 55:50
  child, like they show that flashback scene of him like
• 55:52
  literally in a tree sitting in a tree to get away from doing a
• 55:56
  presentation in front of the class.
• 55:58
  And I think, I think the thing that sticks out to me the most
• 56:01
  is that he didn't want to deal with the plagiarizing rival
• 56:06
  artist in like the beginning of the show.
• 56:09
  And to me, that would be like #1 on my To Do List would be
• 56:12
  takedown of this dude who's like infringing on my copyright, on
• 56:18
  my artistic integrity because he's swearing up and down that
• 56:22
  he originated this style or that he started at 1st and that I
• 56:26
  copied him. All these lies, all this
• 56:28
  slander, and I would not let that slide.
• 56:30
  He was letting it slide. He was.
• 56:32
  Yeah, I think that really shows. I mean, he's very avoidant, but
• 56:36
  so. So can she be when they both met
• 56:39
  at the library because they were trying to avoid each other, Yes.
• 56:43
  Like, but yeah, I feel that, yeah.
• 56:47
  I quite liked Speaking of the artist, the plagiarizing artist,
• 56:52
  that he was going to go to the opening party or something for
• 56:56
  for that company or that project.
• 56:59
  And Taun doesn't have a suit. So he goes and enlists NJ, the K
• 57:05
  pop star to help him buy a suit. And I just love that little
• 57:08
  shopping trip. I thought it was so cute that he
• 57:11
  was like, yeah, I got to go do something, don't worry about it.
• 57:13
  And like on his own goes to get the suit and figure it out and
• 57:17
  he shows up looking fresh and like hair off of his forehead
• 57:20
  type of deal. I just liked it.
• 57:23
  I thought it was so cute that he was like, I need to be a grown
• 57:25
  up. Yeah, no, he literally, he was
• 57:29
  like, let's do this. Yeah, exactly.
• 57:33
  And then just, I think that embarrassment and betrayal that
• 57:36
  he felt when that artist was there at that same event, and he
• 57:40
  was like, hey, we're going to be having like that friendly
• 57:42
  competition and I guess we'll figure it out then.
• 57:44
  And he's like, what, you're doing this project, too?
• 57:47
  And it was so rude, so horrible of that other guy.
• 57:52
  Disrespectful. Disrespectful.
• 57:55
  But yeah, a couple of those characters.
• 57:58
  It was Eden Thiok who plays like the leader of that project or
• 58:03
  whatever. He has had a really good year.
• 58:07
  He was most recently with Soji sub in that drama Mercy for
• 58:13
  None. I think he was in that.
• 58:16
  I still need to watch. That So do I, so do I.
• 58:18
  He was in love scout, Love scout.
• 58:22
  Yeah. Like my heart.
• 58:24
  Artist Nua was played by quack Dong Young, who of course has
• 58:29
  been in a lot of things. I don't even know it's OK to not
• 58:33
  be OK. He was like the flasher.
• 58:36
  He won. The fact that's what you're
• 58:39
  like, that's the name, that's the title.
• 58:42
  He was, but that's because I watched it several months ago
• 58:45
  for the podcast. It was also in Vincenzo.
• 58:49
  Yes, thank you Vincenzo, which is also we have an episode on in
• 58:53
  the feed, but a lot of collecting Pokémon kind of deal
• 58:57
  in this show. She hates being poor.
• 59:00
  And in episode 6, we get a lot more of that.
• 59:04
  And I think it was interesting to see how he approached school,
• 59:09
  which was very important to her. And like, she helps him get in
• 59:12
  to college even though clearly he's not the student type at
• 59:17
  all, not the academic that she wants him to be.
• 59:21
  But, you know, she helped him get in and he helped her loosen
• 59:25
  up, you know, loosen up in life, be a little less severe to
• 59:29
  everybody, even though she is like, naturally so abrupt and
• 59:35
  mean to people. They would, Oh my God.
• 59:37
  There's like a little scene, I think in episode 6 as well,
• 59:40
  where flashback scene, he shows up early to her house and she
• 59:46
  comes out the front door and he's just there looking all like
• 59:49
  eager and sweet and awkward. And he carries her book bag.
• 59:54
  Do you like remember that? Yeah.
• 59:56
  Scene. Oh my God, I don't know.
• 59:58
  I don't know. Him taking some weight off of
• 1:00:00
  her book bag as she's wearing it.
• 1:00:02
  It's just adorable, yeah. It's adorable.
• 1:00:06
  But he was just so unbothered and everything about everything
• 1:00:10
  about her was she was bothered by everything.
• 1:00:13
  True. And he just wanted this stress
• 1:00:15
  free life, wanted to bask in the sunlight.
• 1:00:16
  And then she is on the struggle bus.
• 1:00:20
  I think that was a huge reason why they broke up as well, is
• 1:00:24
  that she saw him kind of getting things handed to him right in
• 1:00:29
  school. There was that professor that
• 1:00:30
  was like, hey, like go on this study abroad trip.
• 1:00:34
  I'm going to recommend you for it.
• 1:00:36
  You know, you can level up your art and all this stuff.
• 1:00:39
  It's going to be really good for you.
• 1:00:40
  It's a super lucrative opportunity and he was just not
• 1:00:43
  interested. He was like, leave the
• 1:00:45
  opportunity for somebody who really wants it.
• 1:00:47
  He had no no interest in turning his passion for art into any
• 1:00:52
  kind of vocation, any kind of paying gig.
• 1:00:56
  And meanwhile, her greatest ambition was to live an ordinary
• 1:01:00
  life like everybody has, get a job, make enough money to
• 1:01:04
  support her grandmother. And I think like to to add to
• 1:01:09
  your point, it shows like because he can fall back on his
• 1:01:14
  parents, right? He has that could she fall back?
• 1:01:18
  Whereas she sees school as the only way to get out.
• 1:01:23
  School is going to be her only option to make something of a
• 1:01:29
  self. And that's why she takes it so
• 1:01:32
  seriously, because this is like her one chance.
• 1:01:34
  Yes, seriously, one only way. Yeah.
• 1:01:37
  Whereas he he could literally have a cushy life.
• 1:01:41
  His parents own all of these places like his parents.
• 1:01:46
  And his parents don't push him to care either.
• 1:01:49
  His parents are just like, we just want you to be happy.
• 1:01:52
  They are like, you know, whereas for her, she doesn't have
• 1:01:55
  anything or anyone to fall back on.
• 1:01:58
  She has to do it herself. So yeah.
• 1:02:01
  Exactly. I thought it was a little like
• 1:02:04
  she crumbled when he said she was like, oh, I'm applying for
• 1:02:08
  jobs. I got to find a job and all this
• 1:02:09
  stuff and he was like, oh, I thought you'd do something more
• 1:02:13
  than that. Implying her dreams were pretty
• 1:02:15
  small, but she had a small mind about what she wanted to make of
• 1:02:19
  herself and what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
• 1:02:21
  And it was just to be like a company woman to get a full time
• 1:02:24
  gig and not have to worry about money anymore.
• 1:02:27
  And he was like, oh, that's it. He was a bit judgey.
• 1:02:32
  He was a bit judgey on this, yeah.
• 1:02:35
  I do want to say though, what you touched on before saying
• 1:02:39
  that he helped her loosen up and she kind of helped him to in
• 1:02:44
  ways to like kind of grow up and start being an adult and stuff.
• 1:02:48
  But there's a moment I'll never I I just love this moment where
• 1:02:52
  like you see these flashbacks and he is just like, can we do
• 1:02:58
  this? Can we do this?
• 1:02:59
  Can we? And she's like, Nope, I'm busy.
• 1:03:00
  Nope, I have to do this. No, I'm doing that.
• 1:03:02
  But then you still see those moments where she takes the time
• 1:03:05
  to show she cares. And that's when he's like, oh, I
• 1:03:08
  want to see the cherry blossoms. And she's like, no, I have
• 1:03:10
  something else to do. And then she sees him sitting
• 1:03:12
  there and opens her hand and it's just a bunch of cherry
• 1:03:15
  blossoms falling on it. I.
• 1:03:16
  Mean she had to go and collect the cherry blossoms she.
• 1:03:18
  Brought the cherry blossoms to him to give him that experience
• 1:03:22
  because she was too busy and she had too much to do.
• 1:03:25
  But she still wanted to make him happy and show that she cares.
• 1:03:28
  Yeah, I agree. That was a really magical moment
• 1:03:30
  because she doesn't have a romantic bone in her body.
• 1:03:33
  Absolutely 9. Like if my boyfriend was like,
• 1:03:38
  let's go see the cherry blower. He's so sensitive.
• 1:03:41
  He's such an incredibly feeling individual.
• 1:03:44
  He's so obviously a creative. Artist.
• 1:03:47
  He's an artist. Like, he's sitting there by
• 1:03:50
  Lamplight drawing building exteriors to the tune of
• 1:03:55
  Christmas Tree by V. Like it is the most, like,
• 1:03:59
  surreal, dreamy thing you can think of.
• 1:04:03
  And she's over here, like, going to her marketing agency job
• 1:04:07
  every day. And she's like, it's pretty,
• 1:04:10
  it's pretty sucky, but at least it pays the bills, You know,
• 1:04:13
  They're two very different personalities.
• 1:04:16
  She's very pragmatic. And he's just not.
• 1:04:21
  She's like, I'm busy. And he's like, let's go see the
• 1:04:23
  cherry blossoms. It's the last day to see them
• 1:04:27
  and it, you know, I, I think if I was her, I would have
• 1:04:30
  obviously gone to see the cherry blossoms with my Taylor chic
• 1:04:35
  boyfriend. But you know, it's, she had
• 1:04:38
  other priorities. Their realities, like Liliana
• 1:04:41
  said, we're very different. But opposites attract.
• 1:04:45
  But he did make her feel small and she had a crazy inferiority
• 1:04:48
  complex that she could not shake in her younger years.
• 1:04:53
  So I like that she talks about her job, though in episode 6,
• 1:04:58
  she says it's not demanding enough to challenge me and not
• 1:05:01
  exactly fun either. So basically saying she's
• 1:05:06
  unfulfilled working this dull job, which is I think what he
• 1:05:09
  was getting at when they were younger.
• 1:05:12
  And she would say, oh, I just need to apply for a job.
• 1:05:14
  I just need to get a full time job.
• 1:05:16
  And he was like, that's it. Because it was never going to be
• 1:05:19
  fulfilling for her, right? It wasn't going to fill her cup
• 1:05:24
  and that's what he was getting at, but he said it in a really
• 1:05:26
  mean way. I thought he was like, that's it
• 1:05:29
  anyway. Her friend though, which I wish
• 1:05:32
  there was more of. Her friend.
• 1:05:34
  The pub owner friend. Yeah, she was fun.
• 1:05:37
  She was. Fun.
• 1:05:37
  She had a great perspective and she saw right through that
• 1:05:41
  bitch, she said which this is the female lead quoting her
• 1:05:45
  friend. She says you said that.
• 1:05:47
  My eyes looked empty and soulless.
• 1:05:49
  There was nothing in them. And I was like, oh, have you
• 1:05:54
  ever had a friend tell you your eyes were soulless?
• 1:05:57
  That's. Pretty.
• 1:05:57
  No, and I hope I don't. That is a crazy ass friend.
• 1:06:01
  And then she's so friends with her.
• 1:06:03
  And she was talking about the look in his eyes when he was
• 1:06:06
  doing the art at the exhibition at the opening of that like
• 1:06:10
  building or whatever the hell, and she was saying his eyes were
• 1:06:13
  so animated. They were so full of life.
• 1:06:15
  You could feel all this passion that he had and she was jealous.
• 1:06:20
  And she says while he was working on improving himself,
• 1:06:23
  there I was, stagnant and busy making ends meet with the
• 1:06:28
  soulless eyes of mine. Yep, even I would think I'm
• 1:06:31
  pathetic. So she was having a little pity
• 1:06:33
  party, but she was on to something with that.
• 1:06:37
  Even though he was a bum in their younger years and he had
• 1:06:41
  no drive, no passion for any money making endeavor, he did
• 1:06:46
  end up turning his passion into a career and he is incredibly
• 1:06:52
  fulfilled, passionate about what he does everyday.
• 1:06:57
  So I thought that that was really a tangible moment where
• 1:07:01
  she was like, wow, I need to work on myself.
• 1:07:04
  Yeah, I agree. I agree.
• 1:07:06
  I love character growth. Yeah, I like that.
• 1:07:11
  I think at the end of episode 6, which I guess I had a lot of
• 1:07:13
  notes for, episode 6, he goes to her house and she's a little bit
• 1:07:18
  drunk. After having this like
• 1:07:19
  revelation that she's so unfulfilled with her day job.
• 1:07:23
  He basically asks her how she's doing.
• 1:07:25
  He's like genuinely like, how are you doing?
• 1:07:28
  And it makes her cry. Yeah, because.
• 1:07:31
  She probably doesn't remember the last time somebody else did
• 1:07:34
  that. And like actually meant it.
• 1:07:38
  And I feel like that's such a relatable thing to real life,
• 1:07:42
  isn't it? Because people, a lot of people
• 1:07:45
  in your life will ask how are you doing, but they don't
• 1:07:47
  actually mean how are you doing? Like genuinely, how are you
• 1:07:52
  doing? Tell me.
• 1:07:53
  And that's a real there's a difference.
• 1:07:55
  There's definitely a difference. So I think him asking and
• 1:08:00
  specifically coming from him, it was like, especially after her
• 1:08:05
  having all of these realizations throughout the episode, she's
• 1:08:08
  just like, I can sort of break down.
• 1:08:11
  She feels free enough to sort of break down in front of him.
• 1:08:15
  And I think that's such a big moment.
• 1:08:17
  Yeah. She's also drunk.
• 1:08:18
  True, true. She's also drunk.
• 1:08:21
  But even saying that, it's still like for her to be able to do
• 1:08:26
  that, to be even a little bit vulnerable, was really good to
• 1:08:30
  see, I think. Yeah, I agree.
• 1:08:33
  I'm going to skip ahead to episode 8, which is the before
• 1:08:38
  sunset episode. And what happens is there's this
• 1:08:42
  random sun shower. It's a vacation episode where
• 1:08:45
  they rent the house in the forest and again random sun
• 1:08:51
  shower and he shows up to rescue her with an umbrella and they
• 1:08:55
  finally kiss in the rain. But this you need to like set up
• 1:09:01
  this kiss scene because this cinnamon.
• 1:09:03
  Scene OK send them to me. So first of all, I feel like
• 1:09:08
  they've been building this tension for episodes now.
• 1:09:13
  And I feel like this is where it all blows up.
• 1:09:16
  And it is a culmination of ridiculously good acting in this
• 1:09:20
  scene. And the directing in this is a
• 1:09:24
  chef's kiss. The fact that they're like kind
• 1:09:28
  of almost arguing. And they are, you know, they
• 1:09:32
  kind of step closer. And he, she says to him, do you
• 1:09:36
  want me to go? And she repeats it a couple of
• 1:09:40
  times. You're like, do you want me to
• 1:09:41
  go? And he does not reply.
• 1:09:43
  Like he just kisses her. And it's the first time.
• 1:09:46
  Not only that, we see that kiss. We see every single before was
• 1:09:51
  in a montage and it's so, so unique.
• 1:09:55
  I had never really seen anything like that.
• 1:09:58
  You know, you have the crooning in the background and I'm just
• 1:10:01
  like, Oh my God, I, I this to me is one of the best scenes in the
• 1:10:07
  whole show. It is the scene that I come back
• 1:10:10
  to and then as soon as I remember our beloved summer,
• 1:10:14
  that's the scene I remember because it is just so incredibly
• 1:10:18
  well shot. The rain shower.
• 1:10:21
  It is perfect because you have the culmination of the rain with
• 1:10:24
  the sun with them, with the OST. It is just stunning, like stun.
• 1:10:29
  It is a honestly one of my favorite scenes in the whole
• 1:10:32
  show. I agree, it was so beautiful, so
• 1:10:35
  well done. They purposely left out the
• 1:10:37
  kissing. That's what I was just going to
• 1:10:39
  say because. Every single flashback, like we
• 1:10:42
  are seeing these parts, but we're we're just seeing these
• 1:10:45
  parts and that's what we're taking them in.
• 1:10:47
  But then we see every single flashback, every single scene
• 1:10:51
  that we saw. There's like a tender, beautiful
• 1:10:53
  kiss that they omitted. From us.
• 1:10:56
  So we wouldn't know that that's what if they like we're
• 1:10:59
  bickering and arguing and then they they have a kiss
• 1:11:01
  afterwards. We we didn't see that.
• 1:11:02
  We just saw the bickering and now we're starting to see this
• 1:11:06
  love that they erased from all those Smash backs, which is
• 1:11:10
  rude, but also it was such an amazing.
• 1:11:13
  You kind of had a feeling that they were there.
• 1:11:15
  Phenomenal. Yeah, you.
• 1:11:18
  Kind of had a feeling that they were there, but like it was
• 1:11:21
  something else to see them all together in that montage, just
• 1:11:24
  one after the other. And it is like coming to me.
• 1:11:27
  It was like coming home, you know, like for them to, they
• 1:11:32
  haven't touched each other in that way in like 5 years or
• 1:11:35
  something like that. They're now grown different
• 1:11:37
  stages in their lives and they have all this drama, all these
• 1:11:39
  things left unsaid and then they just kiss and it's like comes
• 1:11:42
  flooding back. It has to be similar for them,
• 1:11:46
  the characters, this experience that we are getting as the
• 1:11:50
  audience that like they're trying to push all of these
• 1:11:53
  intimate moments outside of their brains and not remember
• 1:11:57
  all the good things, all the good parts of their relationship
• 1:12:00
  because they're mad at each other and they're petty and, you
• 1:12:03
  know, they're just flawed people.
• 1:12:05
  But as soon as they let go and you get this kiss in the rain
• 1:12:09
  and all of these beautiful little kissings come back and
• 1:12:12
  it's so tender and again, like the smell of youth all over it.
• 1:12:16
  It's beautiful, beautiful. The shift in the show, it's like
• 1:12:20
  the biggest, I would say it's like the biggest shift in their
• 1:12:24
  relationship and it's like a damn breaking all at once, I
• 1:12:28
  think. Yeah.
• 1:12:30
  That's so yeah. I I I Honestly it is one of my
• 1:12:34
  favorite. Scenes really powerful, Really
• 1:12:36
  powerful scene. Really powerful editing that
• 1:12:38
  they did there. He basically friend zones her
• 1:12:42
  after that. Oh my God and how petty she is
• 1:12:45
  with that is my favorite. It was so fun to watch her be
• 1:12:49
  petty like. I agree she was like challenging
• 1:12:52
  him and calling his bluff on being friends and staying over
• 1:12:55
  his house and stuff and he loved it.
• 1:12:58
  He loved her being there. Something that stuck out to me
• 1:13:01
  and I'll remember it forever is when she leaves in episode 10.
• 1:13:06
  She leaves the house finally. He tells her if you leave now
• 1:13:09
  you can still catch the bus and he gives her the bus number and
• 1:13:12
  tells her not to walk home because it's already dark
• 1:13:14
  outside. It's late and she goes outside
• 1:13:17
  and he immediately turns on all the exterior lights for her on
• 1:13:21
  the House and then rushes to the window to see her walk down the
• 1:13:26
  street and make sure that she's OK.
• 1:13:27
  I like lost it. I like lost it.
• 1:13:30
  It was so cute. It's like these little thing,
• 1:13:33
  these little tiny moments, that little things.
• 1:13:37
  Like when he's like, oh, I she's like, I'm going to stay longer
• 1:13:42
  and he's like, oh, I have nothing to do today.
• 1:13:44
  And then his person calls him, he's like, you have an interview
• 1:13:47
  you have to go to. And he said, cancel it.
• 1:13:48
  Right now. He's like, Nope, nothing to do
• 1:13:51
  nothing because he just wants to spend time with her.
• 1:13:54
  But they just, they're both so I don't even know, guarded.
• 1:13:58
  They just, you know, they don't want to get hurt again.
• 1:14:01
  They just don't want to admit that they still have those
• 1:14:04
  feelings. It takes like a really big push
• 1:14:06
  for them to finally do that. And I think also they just don't
• 1:14:10
  want to be the first to admit it.
• 1:14:12
  That's why neither of them, neither of them are ready to
• 1:14:15
  take that step in that, you know, in that point.
• 1:14:20
  So yeah. Yeah, like he just is so whipped
• 1:14:23
  for her. So whipped.
• 1:14:25
  So whipped. I will say this show does
• 1:14:29
  something that I really, really appreciated with like NJ's
• 1:14:33
  character because we've talked about like our main, but like
• 1:14:36
  specifically with her. Yeah, the K pop star.
• 1:14:39
  That's in the K pop star. The thing that I really enjoyed
• 1:14:44
  was, I think episode 10, I'm just checking.
• 1:14:47
  Yeah, episodes 10 is when like, obviously they have this rumour
• 1:14:53
  that, you know, he's dating her and they have like this candle
• 1:14:57
  and whatnot. And that kind of shakes you on
• 1:15:01
  Sue a little bit because she's like, oh, there is other people
• 1:15:05
  that really appreciate him and see him for what he is.
• 1:15:08
  But what I appreciated was the scene that so she's in his house
• 1:15:12
  and NJ kind of comes over and they have this conversation and
• 1:15:18
  you think she's going to say, yeah, you said you think she
• 1:15:22
  like NJ is going to say that they're dating, that she could
• 1:15:25
  just lay back on that. And then you see, you know, in
• 1:15:28
  the epilogue or a little bit later, you see her saying,
• 1:15:31
  that's what I thought I wanted to say, but I'm not going to say
• 1:15:36
  that because that's giving him like, he would love for us to be
• 1:15:39
  fighting about him. And that's not what we're going
• 1:15:42
  to do. Like, let's not fight about him.
• 1:15:44
  And I really, really appreciated that because that could have
• 1:15:48
  gone in such a different direction.
• 1:15:51
  NJ was like being the bigger person at every step of the way
• 1:15:56
  and being. Truthful.
• 1:15:59
  Yeah. First, it was a little blunt.
• 1:16:01
  Like at first she was just a very blunt character.
• 1:16:05
  I will never forget her introduction where she's like
• 1:16:08
  I'm used to being everyone being excited when I show up
• 1:16:11
  unannounced. Yeah, cuz she came to the. 1st
• 1:16:13
  for me, yeah. And I'm like, I don't know, but
• 1:16:16
  I, you know, we can appreciate someone that, you know, can be
• 1:16:20
  honest in the end and get some character development.
• 1:16:23
  Yeah, I also like the scene where she has that boot camp or
• 1:16:28
  the malicious commenters. That was yes, that was a
• 1:16:32
  beautiful like just seeing all of that because we get to see a
• 1:16:37
  side of her, you know, we never we never saw.
• 1:16:41
  All these people trying to get out of charges, You know, in
• 1:16:46
  Korea, it's illegal to post malicious comments about
• 1:16:50
  celebrities. They will take legal action
• 1:16:53
  against you. And she was like, Oh, well,
• 1:16:55
  maybe if I rub elbows with these people and they see that I'm
• 1:16:58
  like a genuine person and we do some, like, community service
• 1:17:01
  together, they will learn the error of their ways.
• 1:17:04
  And I can drop the charges and, you know, spare them, give them
• 1:17:08
  some rehab, basically character building rehab.
• 1:17:12
  And it was not what she intended.
• 1:17:15
  Like, they were not learning from their mistakes.
• 1:17:18
  They were still really awful. And I love that she's like,
• 1:17:22
  well, prepare to be sued. Like, Oh well.
• 1:17:25
  Yeah, I didn't mean beautiful in that way.
• 1:17:27
  I'm like the fact that she, you know, it's hard to know that,
• 1:17:32
  like, these people aren't going to change.
• 1:17:33
  But I think she really needed to see that because otherwise she'd
• 1:17:36
  be thinking, oh, well, if they just met me, they'd like me.
• 1:17:39
  But that's just not the case. Not everyone's going to like
• 1:17:41
  you. And I think she, she needed to
• 1:17:43
  see that. But it was nice for her to,
• 1:17:45
  like, stand her ground, but also got to see that character depth
• 1:17:49
  of her. Absolutely.
• 1:17:51
  She's vicious and I was all for it because I was like, why give
• 1:17:54
  them even a shot? Like just sue their asses.
• 1:17:57
  That's me personally. But anyway, especially if I had
• 1:18:00
  like an agency that was footing the bill, Just sue them.
• 1:18:04
  I what's I got to do with the price of tea?
• 1:18:07
  So he runs into the grandma and she gives him a little spiel of,
• 1:18:11
  you know, don't blame my yon SU, like if she's cruel or selfish
• 1:18:18
  or she's mean to you. Our family was poor.
• 1:18:20
  My family was poor. So I taught her to be selfish.
• 1:18:23
  And his response like through me, I had to pause a show.
• 1:18:26
  He said she's so brilliant. It's like I don't deserve her.
• 1:18:31
  Like if it's not that I don't want it.
• 1:18:36
  He is so. Sweet on her, Yeah, He loves her
• 1:18:40
  so much. I know.
• 1:18:41
  And this is the episode where they finally just lay it all on
• 1:18:45
  the table. She says I can't be friends with
• 1:18:47
  you, like we're not going to do that.
• 1:18:50
  And he says I really miss you. Ku Kun Su, I always missed you.
• 1:18:55
  When you came back into my life, I kept feeling angry for some
• 1:18:57
  reason, even though you were finally back, I resented you so
• 1:19:01
  much. But I think I know the reason
• 1:19:02
  now. I guess it was because I wanted
• 1:19:05
  to see you love me. I wanted to see you love only
• 1:19:08
  me. Keep loving me.
• 1:19:10
  Don't let me go. Keep loving me.
• 1:19:12
  I beg you. Oh my God.
• 1:19:15
  Smitten. This is episode 11, yes.
• 1:19:20
  And also, can we just touch on the fact that this show, there's
• 1:19:25
  something really well and that is like symbolism and they kind
• 1:19:30
  of tell his story through like the little dog from the the
• 1:19:34
  corner shop and how the dog never wanted to go outside
• 1:19:40
  anything. Oh my gosh, yeah.
• 1:19:42
  And I thought, I thought personally, that was really
• 1:19:45
  great symbolism for him because he then goes back and he sees
• 1:19:49
  that the dog just needed time to grow.
• 1:19:51
  And that's exactly what he needs.
• 1:19:53
  He just needs like a little bit of courage to kind of, you know,
• 1:19:56
  reach out for what he wants. So I I thought that was, you
• 1:20:01
  know, really, really well done for for episode 11.
• 1:20:05
  And obviously that's the. The episode that we also get
• 1:20:08
  some of his. Abandonment.
• 1:20:11
  Yeah, abandonment. And like, it really hits her why
• 1:20:15
  the breakup truly tore into him. And you know why he needs to be
• 1:20:21
  constantly reminded that people are there, so to speak.
• 1:20:26
  Yeah, in episode 12, which is called Begin Again, which Begin
• 1:20:32
  Again, like if you actually watch these movies, you're kind
• 1:20:34
  of like, this has nothing. This doesn't really.
• 1:20:37
  They just like the title. So anyway, Begin Again.
• 1:20:40
  I love the moment when he kisses her on the floor in the street,
• 1:20:43
  which ill #1 and awe #2 because I love how we see all of their
• 1:20:50
  past kisses Again, really tender moment where she is trying to
• 1:20:54
  comfort him. He's having like a little
• 1:20:56
  breakdown in the street and finally telling her that, you
• 1:20:59
  know, he was abandoned as a child and he's had nightmares,
• 1:21:03
  you know, ever since he was a child about this abandonment.
• 1:21:07
  And I love when they're back at his house.
• 1:21:10
  She says she doesn't know how to comfort him.
• 1:21:12
  She's like, I don't know how to make you feel any better.
• 1:21:14
  But he says she's doing it right now.
• 1:21:16
  She's helping him right now, just being with him and
• 1:21:18
  listening to him. And it's such a picture of
• 1:21:22
  intimacy between them because his head is on her lap, their
• 1:21:25
  hands are entwined, and she's stroking his head almost like a
• 1:21:30
  mother would. Like, she's very kind of
• 1:21:32
  motherly to him in a couple of moments in the show.
• 1:21:35
  And it's super, super intimate. I love this picture of them.
• 1:21:39
  And this is when he says, like, I can't sleep usually because
• 1:21:41
  he's been struggling with insomnia the whole show, except
• 1:21:45
  when she's by his side, which I think bothered the MDL reviewer.
• 1:21:50
  But you know, she's the source of comfort for him.
• 1:21:54
  It's not just that as well. He's codependent on her.
• 1:21:58
  No, it's just that he feels safe.
• 1:22:01
  He feels safe to be able to, for like when we sleep, it's when
• 1:22:07
  we're our most vulnerable. So obviously if you're
• 1:22:10
  surrounded by somebody who you trust completely and you feel
• 1:22:15
  safe with, sleeping is going to be much easier.
• 1:22:19
  So I understand where they come from.
• 1:22:22
  And like that is what happens in a relationship in general.
• 1:22:26
  Like in real life, you're going to feel way safer sleeping next
• 1:22:29
  to the person you love and you find comfort in and you find
• 1:22:33
  safety in. Then you are sleeping by
• 1:22:37
  yourself. I think it just makes sense.
• 1:22:39
  Like I don't understand where that comment was coming from.
• 1:22:42
  It just make to me it just made sense.
• 1:22:47
  I agree. Yeah, I love this episode
• 1:22:50
  because he couldn't wait for their weekend date.
• 1:22:52
  So he shows up on her walkthrough of this seaside
• 1:22:56
  Convention Center, this Art Center.
• 1:22:57
  I don't even know what it is, but her face when she sees him
• 1:23:03
  and then him like turning around.
• 1:23:04
  He was hiding. He was so cute.
• 1:23:05
  And then he like kind of turns around and you see his sheepish
• 1:23:09
  face and the slow MO walk over. Taiwo chic looks really good in
• 1:23:14
  my notes. I have in all caps like the two
• 1:23:20
  corn dog scene that's. That's my favorite.
• 1:23:23
  It's so cute because she's I think she kisses him on the
• 1:23:26
  cheek and he's like holding 2 hot 2 corn dogs, one in each
• 1:23:30
  hand and he asked her to hold a corn dog.
• 1:23:33
  He's like, hey, like hold a corn dog.
• 1:23:34
  I'm like dying to like hold you right now basically.
• 1:23:38
  And she's like, no, she plays Felicia's.
• 1:23:40
  No. So he transfers 1 corn dog to
• 1:23:44
  the other hand and grabs her by the waist for this free hand and
• 1:23:47
  pulls her in for a kiss. And I just think it's again
• 1:23:49
  like, sue me. It's really cute.
• 1:23:51
  He's a romantic, I know. I can't.
• 1:23:55
  I can't. It's just life, like just living
• 1:23:58
  their life. She tries to change for him I
• 1:24:02
  think in the next episode, which is the Love Actually episode.
• 1:24:05
  She does all these things to like spice up their
• 1:24:07
  relationship, change her personality, be different so
• 1:24:10
  that they won't keep fighting like they did before which
• 1:24:13
  initiated their ultimate breakup.
• 1:24:15
  She's wearing cutesy clothes, laughing at everything he says,
• 1:24:18
  which doesn't make sense. And it's this very shallow idea
• 1:24:23
  of love that her Co worker gave to her because the Co worker is
• 1:24:27
  younger and she's like, yeah, this is what I do to like hang
• 1:24:30
  on to a man. And the female lead is self
• 1:24:33
  aware. She says, like I, I nag you a
• 1:24:35
  lot and we know each other really well.
• 1:24:38
  I don't want it to be boring or predictable being together.
• 1:24:42
  But sometimes relationships are boring and predictable.
• 1:24:45
  That's the that's the whole point.
• 1:24:46
  And I think she learns that obviously, because he's like,
• 1:24:49
  what the hell are you doing? He's like, what the hell are you
• 1:24:50
  doing? What's going on?
• 1:24:51
  What's this character that you're doing?
• 1:24:53
  And he responds to her, but that person doesn't know you.
• 1:24:56
  There are so many people like you who are always different
• 1:24:59
  each time. You always feel new and
• 1:25:03
  different. You're different from when I saw
• 1:25:04
  you yesterday. And I'm like, Oh my God, just
• 1:25:07
  stop. It's too much.
• 1:25:10
  It's like a sack of puppies. Just cuteness overload.
• 1:25:14
  He says, I like you for who you are.
• 1:25:16
  I know. I like that you always have new
• 1:25:18
  things to nag about. They're so cute.
• 1:25:21
  They're so cute, yeah. Do you guys have any other
• 1:25:23
  favorite moments or things that you want to chat about before I
• 1:25:28
  get to the second melding? I think I talked about them all.
• 1:25:31
  Yeah, I think I I covered everything that I wanted to
• 1:25:34
  cover. I don't necessarily like the
• 1:25:36
  cliched like in the final two episodes, like the grandmother
• 1:25:40
  gets sick on the night of his exhibition.
• 1:25:44
  Hate that? Oh my God, with the art gallery
• 1:25:46
  I hated that they have a two year time jump.
• 1:25:50
  Is it necessary? No, but there is a standard
• 1:25:54
  happy ending and then I think they get greenlit for another
• 1:25:58
  documentary about their married life, which who is not going to
• 1:26:00
  press play on that if it was like a real thing.
• 1:26:03
  True. What did you guys think of the
• 1:26:04
  second MO lead and did you have any complaints about him?
• 1:26:08
  Because I felt like he was the weakest link of the whole show.
• 1:26:11
  I agree. Like this time around, this time
• 1:26:15
  around, I was just like, I don't really care.
• 1:26:19
  I'm so sorry that you have a sappy sad story.
• 1:26:22
  I'm really sorry that, you know, you keep comparing like you have
• 1:26:26
  an inferiority complex because I think that's what he had.
• 1:26:31
  This man, our male lead, like he treats you like a brother, like
• 1:26:35
  literally he shares everything with you.
• 1:26:38
  And I can also kind of understand where this guy was
• 1:26:42
  coming from because he was like, well, yeah, he shares it with
• 1:26:44
  me, but it's never truly mine. But the male, he just like
• 1:26:47
  openly shares stuff with him, like even his parents.
• 1:26:51
  He's so giving. It's like how how can you sort
• 1:26:55
  of? And he never really hates on him
• 1:26:57
  or anything like that, but I just found him.
• 1:27:01
  I don't know. I could take him or leave him if
• 1:27:04
  that makes sense. Like he does nothing for me in
• 1:27:07
  the show. He's just pining for his best
• 1:27:10
  friend's girlfriend slash ex-girlfriend.
• 1:27:13
  And I'd like I understand, you know, he probably feels guilty
• 1:27:17
  about it, but like at a point it just gets really, I didn't enjoy
• 1:27:22
  watching his scenes because it's like, dude, just get over.
• 1:27:26
  Like I can't handle this right now.
• 1:27:28
  Like. It's so tedious to watch the
• 1:27:31
  second melee, especially on this rewatch.
• 1:27:33
  I was like, oh, I am not driving with this man at all.
• 1:27:37
  I thought there was something annoying about the way that
• 1:27:40
  Kim's long trial played it. I thought he had zero
• 1:27:43
  personality. There was nothing there at all.
• 1:27:48
  And they sort of like write it in a little bit that both the
• 1:27:52
  second male lead and the male lead tune are like very similar
• 1:27:57
  in that they both are kind of stoic.
• 1:28:01
  They're not kind of active participants in life and all
• 1:28:05
  this stuff. Once he gets a girlfriend, which
• 1:28:08
  is Jones to the female lead, like they diverge.
• 1:28:11
  They have totally different ways of going about life and I just
• 1:28:17
  didn't like at all the way that Jiang was constantly stuck being
• 1:28:25
  in love with the male, with the male lead, with the female lead.
• 1:28:29
  Plot twist plot. Twist in love with the male
• 1:28:32
  lead. That would have been a great Oh
• 1:28:34
  my God. That would have been a really.
• 1:28:36
  Great, that would have been a great plot twist if he was
• 1:28:38
  actually in love with. But they have all of these
• 1:28:42
  moments that I thought deepened their relationship between the
• 1:28:46
  boys, which is really unusual for male relationships.
• 1:28:50
  I thought where almost like a love and basketball kind of.
• 1:28:55
  Have you guys seen that movie No Love and Basketball?
• 1:28:58
  I haven't OK. But you would love love and
• 1:29:01
  basketball, Becky. Oh yeah.
• 1:29:04
  I'll write it down. Right, yes, you would definitely
• 1:29:06
  enjoy love and basketball. But anyway, that's a throwback
• 1:29:08
  sports romance from like the late 90s, I think.
• 1:29:12
  But anyway, that in that sense where these two people are
• 1:29:16
  neighbors in this show, Cheung the mildly just like inherently
• 1:29:21
  knows when he needs to chat when Teung like needs a buddy to hear
• 1:29:27
  him out. And they have like, this montage
• 1:29:30
  scene of him sleeping over them, chatting into the night and then
• 1:29:35
  like, giggling and like, just having this really deep
• 1:29:39
  relationship that I thought wasn't so deep in execution.
• 1:29:44
  Yeah, yeah, because the whole time, I mean, he's literally,
• 1:29:48
  he's stuck in the past. Just.
• 1:29:50
  I don't even know if I'd call it love or like admiration.
• 1:29:54
  It's just a weird pie name that he's just, he just wants.
• 1:29:59
  I don't even know what he wants but it's annoying.
• 1:30:01
  Yeah, like, I don't get it. I don't get it.
• 1:30:04
  After all of these years, you're saying you haven't gotten over
• 1:30:07
  this girl? And the fact that Yongsu has
• 1:30:10
  absolutely no clue that this man is head over heels in love with
• 1:30:13
  her or like, obsessed with her, also baffling to me.
• 1:30:17
  I think it just shows that she's so selfish.
• 1:30:19
  She only sees herself and what she cares about.
• 1:30:22
  She's. Clueless.
• 1:30:23
  She's fucking. Clueless.
• 1:30:24
  It makes no sense. It makes no sense how she can't
• 1:30:27
  pick that up. Especially that scene when she
• 1:30:30
  goes to see some of the footage at night in the editing room and
• 1:30:33
  he's kind of like, he's just like a vibrating like presence.
• 1:30:38
  And she is so obsessive with herself.
• 1:30:40
  She's very self absorbed. They go to eat afterwards and
• 1:30:42
  she's like, why don't you look at me?
• 1:30:45
  And he, my man's is struggling because he knows there's no
• 1:30:49
  shot. He has no shot with her.
• 1:30:52
  She has no clue that he has feelings for her.
• 1:30:57
  It's gut wrenching for the second male lead, but also what
• 1:31:00
  is going on in her head that she can't pick none of this up?
• 1:31:03
  She is very self absorbed, like she's like she can only see
• 1:31:09
  what's wrong. But two, the male lead does pick
• 1:31:13
  it up. He watches a little bit of that
• 1:31:16
  footage that the second male lead has edited and he's like,
• 1:31:19
  oh shit, my best friend is in love with my girl.
• 1:31:24
  He picks it up immediately. That's true.
• 1:31:27
  So they have like this weird deep relationship.
• 1:31:31
  When you see them in the same room together, you're like, but
• 1:31:34
  actually like, where is it? They can talk deep into the
• 1:31:38
  night and like, they have little sleepovers and they've been in
• 1:31:41
  each other's lives and they share a set of parents
• 1:31:44
  basically, but there's so such a chasm between them.
• 1:31:50
  It just felt weird. Yeah.
• 1:31:54
  And the second male lead just seems so obtuse again about his
• 1:31:58
  Co worker, the female editor like also having like a deep
• 1:32:02
  crush on him. Yeah, it's almost interesting
• 1:32:05
  because like, you know, she is clueless, but so is he.
• 1:32:08
  Yeah. Like what?
• 1:32:10
  What's going on there? I.
• 1:32:11
  Don't know, it's just and then I don't know.
• 1:32:13
  It was just very annoying. I was more interested in his
• 1:32:17
  relationship to the male leads family and how, you know, that
• 1:32:21
  was very sacred. But also he felt like it was
• 1:32:25
  borrowed. Yeah.
• 1:32:26
  We don't really like it was his 9/9.
• 1:32:30
  So a lot. I feel like I had so many more
• 1:32:32
  issues with the second male lead this time around than I did the
• 1:32:35
  first time around. Anyway, he finally draws her the
• 1:32:39
  male lead. Finally.
• 1:32:40
  Draws her. So that was beautiful.
• 1:32:43
  Yeah. It was so nice to see that.
• 1:32:45
  I know because it meant so much hate to see that.
• 1:32:48
  It did. I did enjoy the fact that they
• 1:32:51
  get married, but we don't see them getting married.
• 1:32:54
  It's just, it just sort of happens.
• 1:32:57
  I do actually kind of enjoy that in the grand scheme of this
• 1:33:01
  drama because this drama is not about those big events.
• 1:33:05
  It's all about the small little things that add up to a
• 1:33:08
  relationship. It's the everyday.
• 1:33:11
  So yeah, I I really actually appreciated that.
• 1:33:14
  Yeah, because things always just happen in their life.
• 1:33:17
  It's just almost so like their wedding just happened and us not
• 1:33:20
  seeing it. I mean, it makes sense.
• 1:33:22
  Yeah, but that's the end of my notes.
• 1:33:25
  I don't really have anything else to add to our beloved
• 1:33:27
  summer. It was a nice, pleasant watch.
• 1:33:30
  I watched it like one or two episodes a day until I was done.
• 1:33:35
  Same, same. Nice.
• 1:33:37
  Well, actually I binged a lot of it.
• 1:33:39
  Oh. Yesterday I did binge.
• 1:33:42
  You guys, I have a confession to make.
• 1:33:44
  Oh. Oh oh.
• 1:33:47
  In my rewatch, I did not get very far.
• 1:33:50
  I didn't. This is all muscle, this is all
• 1:33:52
  memory. When I say I didn't get very
• 1:33:55
  far, I think I got to episode 3, but I remember so much of it.
• 1:33:58
  But you've rewatched it many times.
• 1:34:01
  Five times. This was the first time I've
• 1:34:04
  rewatched it so I really. Need yes, the first time you
• 1:34:07
  heard. Yes, the first time I've
• 1:34:09
  rewatched it. I watched it in dub because I
• 1:34:12
  was trying to like get another listen.
• 1:34:15
  I was I I regret, I regret it, but I had so much other like I
• 1:34:19
  was like, I can't, but also I don't want because because you
• 1:34:23
  know, so first of all, it's terrible because all of the male
• 1:34:27
  voices sound the same every single like like our male leads
• 1:34:31
  talking to his best friend. He's like, hey, man, what's
• 1:34:34
  going on? I don't know, man, not.
• 1:34:36
  Much and I'm like. You guys are the same person and
• 1:34:39
  I'm going to scream. But then I tried watching it
• 1:34:42
  speed up because I thought that would be helpful.
• 1:34:45
  Not in dub, you know, but then that was just really not.
• 1:34:48
  So that's my confession. I did rewatch it, but I also
• 1:34:52
  I've watched it way too many times to a point where it's just
• 1:34:55
  like, you know. Becky, no one's going to come
• 1:34:57
  for you with a pitchfork over this.
• 1:34:59
  It's fine. It's fine.
• 1:35:02
  But it's it's I still I still love the drama.
• 1:35:06
  I just definitely think, yeah, I don't the second male lead as
• 1:35:10
  soon as I saw him on the screen and he paused the video and he's
• 1:35:13
  just looking at her. I'm.
• 1:35:14
  Like on Under the Hood. Go away like why are you even
• 1:35:18
  admiring her like that? Like you guys don't even have a
• 1:35:21
  any type of what she said hi to you once.
• 1:35:24
  Ah I can't but I still like the drama a lot.
• 1:35:28
  But also this is me just telling everyone don't ever watch a show
• 1:35:31
  in dub. Don't watch a show in dub.
• 1:35:34
  Even if you have to multitask, even if you have like other,
• 1:35:37
  don't do it do. That to the drama.
• 1:35:39
  It'll ruin your life. I thought that was kind of
• 1:35:43
  engraved in people not to watch stuff in dub.
• 1:35:46
  OK, I have my attention span when it comes to like I've been
• 1:35:51
  watching Prisoner of Beauty and that's like really, you know,
• 1:35:54
  like action. So when it comes to like slower
• 1:35:57
  shows, I still haven't checked out the best thing.
• 1:36:00
  I still haven't checked out any of like the slower slice of life
• 1:36:03
  dramas because I just can't. I have to be multitasking or it
• 1:36:06
  has to be super riveting for me to pay attention to it, which
• 1:36:10
  means I need to fix my attention.
• 1:36:12
  Span I'm That's another thing that we all need to fix our
• 1:36:15
  intention spans. We're all screwed because of
• 1:36:18
  social media and scrolling on TikTok and like double timing
• 1:36:22
  everything we want. Scrolling.
• 1:36:23
  My God, dumb scrolling. All right, all right, anyway,
• 1:36:28
  we'll continue this offline. Thank you so much for coming on
• 1:36:31
  the show and for talking about our beloved summer and
• 1:36:34
  rewatching 3 episodes. Becky, I really appreciate it.
• 1:36:37
  I knew you were going to come for me.
• 1:36:39
  You said you weren't going to judge.
• 1:36:42
  I'm not. Just faked it.
• 1:36:44
  I could have faked it all but I appreciate you guys and I wanted
• 1:36:48
  to be honest I. Super careless when I can't re
• 1:36:51
  watch a show or I re watch it on double time or what have you.
• 1:36:55
  It's just hard. It's.
• 1:36:56
  Just doesn't catch. You're fine.
• 1:36:59
  Just doesn't catch. Also, this is this is not her
• 1:37:02
  being you should see when she gets judged.
• 1:37:05
  Yes, this is. Definitely a little more biting.
• 1:37:09
  No, I'm being really. Yeah.
• 1:37:11
  Playful and facetious. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:37:14
  Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about it.
• 1:37:15
  Don't worry about it. Becky.
• 1:37:17
  Where can people find you online?
• 1:37:18
