KYH rumored to be FL in a new drama. Park Solomon is popular so we will have a different dynamic and as long as it's not set in a school but uni, I am all for the plot. I just hope they have flashbacks so KYH can wear historic costumes :)

I am not referring to a certain character portrayal. I am referring to the general plotlines, where successful career women are portrayed as having problems balancing career and motherhood. A lot of them are able to do it, I admit it's not easy, but women manage. They don't let society dictate that they can only be one or the other. Where is the homage to them? Jang Nara' character here is not perfect. It is flawed. So many of these plots could be resolved with direct communication.

But to send out a message that being successful and ambitious equals not being able to prioritize children and partner is just wrong.

What is with K-dramas and the plotline of successful career women not being good mothers.

You can be any other type of mother - housewife, single, abused, even a ghost, but you cannot be successful in your career and a mother.

You damn well can be both!

Rage over...

Serendipity's Embrace is your run-of-the-mill romcom but the leads are pleasing to the eye and it's an easy watch.

How I wish they both were casted opposite each other with a more interesting plotline for instance a remake of the Japanese drama Silent.

I am so proud of all the Hye Yoon warriors out on social media each day every day tirelessly promoting her. I hope she feels the love. KYH fans on Tumblr, please watch her GQ interview and support appearance on the variety show Whenever Possible, both on YouTube🙏

My last post on Lovely Runner of course has to be on Kim Hye Yoon.

KYH carried the drama. She had all the intense scenes. And yet her partner swept away all the accolades. Nothing new in the entertainment industry.

Same thing happened after Extraordinary You.

But see here's the thing, I am ready to bet anything that the next big thing in some years time is again going be her leading the drama and not any of her ex-costars.

In the long game talent does count. Fame is a fickle thing.

Everyone back to hating Mondays and Tuesdays post LR

Did you see the size of the plot hole!

But most of us Lovely Runner fans don't care. We are all willing, with eyes wide open, to fall into it nee even jump.

We want episode 16 to be smiles, hugs and fluff and after watching the preview, that is what we can expect.

What a fun journey this has been. Too many of us have tried to read too much into a drama that is so enjoyable because it doesn't take itself seriously.

And before we know it, it is time to say goodbye to our fab four! Live long and prosper you losers!

P:S with losers I mean the fab four, not the readers...

[krautundkimchi]

Sensible, savvy, and on top of everything...

at this point even the universe is giggling at his loserism and can't wait for more!

[krautundkimchi]

I vote to give the watch to Tae Sung and In Hyuk. Been a fan of Tae Sung's quick wit and ability to quickly read a situation for a bit now but In Hyuk actually is a lot saner than I first thought. He is also quite perceptive but I guess his intelligence and ability to reason gets overshadowed by Sun Jae's absolute loserism when it comes to Sol.

Let those two handle it. They will make some wise choices to break this circle. This way we have two people acting with the best interests of both leads.

Tae Sung and Baek In Hyuk will singlehandedly double-handedly and voluntarily, free of cost, for the sake of their own sanity, take care of the taxi driver, fate, coincidence, universe, open plot lines. I am sure they are open to more suggestions for the list!

Prayer circle for Tae Sung

TVN I don't care how you end it, you leave my boi alone

[krautundkimchi]

Since time travel to the point that she erased all his memories is not enough to keep Sun Jae getting himself killed (cue in ep 14 and preview ep 15), Im Sol I guess will have to invent space travel.

PD Nim: how many first kisses can you squeeze into this drama

Writer Nim: YES!

[krautundkimchi]

Im Sol gave the lottery numbers to her brother not to ensure he or the family gets rich, she knows they never needed it to be happy, but so that her best friend does not regret choosing her brother. She did it for their future happiness.

And you dare question her intentions?

[krautundkimchi]

Why is Tae Sung always there to pick up the pieces. How is he not the superior character. The 15 year argument goes for him too. And he is so incredibly perceptive. Given all variables he is actually perfect for Im Sol. If I could only go back in time...

And with one swish of the pen the writer changes one of the most iconic scenes of first love in a kdrama and turns it into an iconic scene of selfless love while firmly placing the narrative on the female lead. Now that is a plot twist I like!
