Thanks Jae-ha for unpacking this Kdrama so well re contemporary relationships and psychology and other things.
Still getting my head aroud the dildo defence scene
Not long ago watched it. A bit of a slow burn for me in first eps, but then on a roll. And as you said, last two eps were pretty good (in Oz parlance that means extremely good).
Thought Hae-yeong's foster sisters were pretty cool and strong characters.
Like other commenters, an admirer of Shin Min-a, a quite subtle but expressive actress.
Loved watching Home Town Cha Cha up until the sort of release about male lead's bad behaviour. His nice on screen persona in the drama and then negative media not resonant.
Did complete 6 months later, and glad I did.
And the issues of Abandonment and Adoption on the K scene but also on the Diaspora.
Have read a few of your Rolling Stone etc articles now. Impressed.
Shin Min A is really fantastic and the age difference was not as disturbing to me. Speaks to how much I was rooting for her. Really loved this drama too and I read they were considering a spin off with Gyu Hyeon and Ja Yeong? Is it true? You are so right that one of the best gifts a parent can give is a clear plan for their aging and passing.
Although the beauty of Shin Min A and Kim Jae Wook was mightily distracting, I liked the ‘adult’ theme of the drama. I loved the attention paid to second lead romance as well.
I think you meant Kim Dae-young. But I can see why Kim Jae-wook would be on your mind. Very handsome men! And Shin Min-a is so gorgeous and such a talented actress. If I see that she's in a show, it's a must-see for me!
I didn't write much about Ja-yeon and Gyu-hyeon's budding romance, because my article was already so long. But you're right. Their relationship was weird and sweet and highly watchable. (I didn't really want her to get together with Ha-jun. haha)

Thank you, Cristoffa!

It is! The two-episode spin-off came out in October: "Spice Up Our Love." It's also on Prime Video.
Shin Min-a is one of my favorite all-time actresses. She picks great roles and is so great in everything.

Oh right! Jae Wook oppa is pure gold, no surprise his name popped up in my mind.
