Favorite Things: Brewing Love

This show had so much to love about it! A unique male lead that is empathetic to a fault. An independent bad ass for a female lead. Complex characters that grow and learn to treat themselves better. The pretties male cast in a Kdrama. Some HILARIOUS bromance. Brewing Love was a great mix of quirky comedy, sweet romance, lots of cute, and a bit of heartbreak.

Here are some of the posts about the series that we've loved (spoilers ahead):

Just like @ofredribbonsandpreciousgems, we found empathy to be an interesting character trait for the male lead. They did a great job of creating a unique character and story centered around this.

The scene at the funeral where Min Ju cries and breaks the dam Young Ju was using to hold back her own tears was so devastatingly beautiful and well done. Here's screen shots posted by @factorygirlsstuff

This edit of the funeral scene by @i-got-the-feels is ����! So many feels!!!

Enjoyed this post by @kangsongpyeon with thoughts on the early characters. It's fun looking back at the beginning of the show because the characters grow so much. Really well done story.

Min Ju was so real in this moment... thanks @ryoun

The male cast in this show was ridiculously pretty. We couldn't make it through a single episode without saying it out loud at least once.

The fascial expressions, drunk pouting and bromance jokes were epic in this show. We loved them so much! This was just a few that we couldn't get over, but we could have made a post like this for every episode!

We agree with @dramatictrajectory 😍 The bromance was seriously bromancing. These two were EPIC! The writers were hilarious. We are fans.

This entire scene, the words, the tears. Killed us. They declared a truce 😭

What did you think about Brewing Love???

BREWING LOVE

GENRES: Romance, Comedy, Drama

SUMMARY: Sparks fly between a man who deeply feels everyone’s emotions and a woman who has lived her whole life ignoring hers for the sake of everyone else.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Bus stop meet-cutes, emotional burdens, plucky children, good bosses, meditation rooms, secret passageways, perfect pets, corporate jealousy, extended montages, aunties, halmeonis, and toast sandwiches.

HOT TAKE: Just like the beer made throughout this show, every episode in this drama is refreshing and goes down smooth. Due to the ML's ultra-empathy, the communication in this show is super constructive, collaborative, and maintains solid plot-pacing.

There are a few points of despair amongst the characters such as dealing with loss, emotional neglect, and coming to terms with sins of the past, but even those are dealt with honesty, earnestness, and friendship.

This show has a LOT of montage sequences (perhaps to make up for the fact that there are few flashbacks), so if you find yourself wishing the show would just GET ON WITH IT, don't beat yourself up for using that fast-forward button to keep your interest piqued.

Doom at your service - 2021

[alifelivedtwiceover]

Myul Mang lived, after death. He lived. That is all that matters.

I love doom at your service so much😭 I'm rewatching it and I think I'll post think pieces on it after each episode.

I've seen so many reviews about people not enjoying the second half of this show and how a stellar cast was wasted on bad writing but for me, this show works even though I agree that the writing really was lacking in places.

It's funny how sometimes the things we like best are not the things that are perfect, but the ones that are flawed and imperfect and slightly inadequate.

It's so hard to define what brings us joy and comfort and what we find irresistible sometimes.

It's like, why do I adore this show even though there are so many shows out there that are so much better? Why do I think so often of these characters in particular? Why do I keep coming back here?

One of my favorite aspects about DAYS is Seo In Guk as Myul Mang. His character is the bedrock of this show from which everything else springs. I love his cynicism, his pessimism, his pain, his intolerance, his indifference, his quiet, simmering anger, his inability to outgrow his annoyance at the world. I love his audacity, his attitude and his insistent desire to destroy everything. I love that he doesn't hold back and that he doesn't try to be other than what he is. I love how the world slowly enraptures him, how it quietly grasps him into its folds, and doesn't let go. I love how he slowly discovers the world.

Myul Mang's entire existence is in nothingness, and then he is slowly brought into life. It is the opposite of what humans experience, for him it is actually life after death.

Myul Mang is hands down my favourite thing about DAYS.

The only thing I wish for was I wish we could have gotten more of his backstory. I wish he had been given a tangible past, a story that would have made the audience aware of where he was coming from, and thus would have made his motivations clearer, so that we know where he is heading.

Myul Mang lived, after death. He lived. That is all that matters.

At A Glance:

Brewing Love

South Korean - Romcom

Staring: Kim Se Jeong & Lee Jong Won

Chae Yong Ju is a former special forces baddy that puts her all into everything she does, especially when it comes to helping others. So when her branch of the brewing company faces closure, she will do what ever it takes to recruit brew master Yun Min Ju. But she has her work cut out for her if she wants to win over Yun Min Ju, an empathetic introvert that lives a quiet, rural life to avoid becoming overwhelmed by the emotions of others.

This show was brilliant. Who would have thought we would love a story structured around brewing beer?!? But when a story is well written with great characters and plot, it was impossible not to get sucked in. It had a surprising amount of depth and great character growth. Plus, it was funny and ridiculously cute and sweet. We definitely loved this series and think you will too.

Ending: Our favorite, sweet and happy

Tears: Quite a bit of sadness throughout the show.

Main Couple: Straight

Side Couple: Official side couple is straight, but there are some hilarious bromance moments and a hint of an established lesbian couple that we greatly enjoyed

Romance Scenes: ridiculously sweet

Flavor of Scenes: vanilla

Heads up: toxic parenting, dead parent, death, attempted suicide, combat PTSD

These two ladies had us rolling. We want to be them when we grow up!

Doom at your service

Year : 2021 | Country : KR | Nb of episodes: 16

My rate: 5/10

Synopsis :

Tak Dong Kyung has been working hard ever since her parents passed away. Her life seemed more stable after working as a web novel editor for 6 years, but then she gets diagnosed with glioblastoma (brain cancer). She blames her unlucky life and wishes to curse everything to disappear, which unintentionally calls Myeol Mang, Doom himself - neither human nor god - to appear.

Myeol Mang says that he can grant Dong Kyung's wishes. As her last hope, she makes a contract with Myeol Mang for a hundred days to live how she wants, risking her everything.

Main cast :

Park Bo Young as Tak Dong Kyung

Seo In Guk as Kim Sa Ram/ Myeol Mang

Lee Soo Hyuk as Cha Joo Ik

Kang Tae Ho as Lee Hyun Gyu

Shin Do Hyun as Na Ji Na

My thoughts on this drama :

I don't know what I was expecting when I started this one. Certainly not what I got. I wasn't expecting to laugh with such a title. The end is also anticlimatic. No spoiler here but I would have prefered it to end is a not so happy ending. No rewatch value whatsoever for that one.

A Favorite ?
