jTBC Romance Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food Off to Promising Ratings Start

View Comments

• The episodes cute and stuff but I find it quite boring, how they gonna drag it out for 16 episodes?

• I loved it ! I don't really care there is no "goal" to this drama. It's just a simple story. But I like to see the journey of their love story :)

• Sorry but I find this drama very extremely boring. It seems like there's really nothing to tell. I guess I am not the kind that can stay watching a drama with no actual story and just relying on the cutesy and sweetness.

• Has anyone been able to watch this with English subs yet? I’m a huge sucker for slice of life stories so this sounds like my type of drama.

  • No subs yet. Neflix probably got exclusive streaming rights and will release subs either a week late like their tvN acquisitions or after the entire drama is over like their OCN acquisitions. No one knows. VIU or Viki would've been subbing this otherwise since it's a highly anticipated drama.

    • It looks like OnDemandKorea has streaming rights (at least for the US anyway), the episodes are up on their site with no subs but I'm still not sure if it's exclusive since it's not stated on their site.

    • OnDemandKorea is a legal site? I thought all streaming sites barring those who has their own sub teams are illegal ones. I know Netflix if they don't have airing dramas acquire viki subs.

    • Yes, it looks like it's definitely a legal site. They seem to have streaming rights but I doubt it's exclusive since they don't provide official subs. I keep hearing it'll be available on Netflix with official subs which I think will be the case also but there's still no confirmation.

      The way dramas are released internationally is becoming more messy and inconvenient for us viewers.

  • @ Deb:

    I explore 3 sites - no luck with subs all long wkend.
    And apparently it's nothing to do with long wkend either.

    I am quite happy to just float along with the overall vibe of this drama though, and just get bits and pieces of conversation. It is humorous, warm and the enjoyable overall mood/flow so far reminds of Temperature of Love, and On The Way to Airport.

    Nice to not have too much back and forth angst so far. Or some of the very trite plots which wkend dramas tend to have (a 72 episode

    For more viewing enhancing, BIG KUDOS to
    1) Soompi's stroppyse, who is doing scene by scene translations

    2)Live recaps from Drama Milk Bah+Doo

    • Thank god I can read the chinese subs although I will need re-watch it again once the english subs are out. It's not even on VIU !!

  • @ julie sean

    Where do you go for Chinese subs? Thanks

    I read English and Chinese just fine too, except English is more of a no brainer.

    So far I have only relied on Bah + Doo for live recaps, and stroppyse @ Soompi for filling in the blanks.

  • I could watch it even without subtitles,the originality of this drama is a blessing for the word love.

• I don't know but it is really boring for me watching the two episodes. I find the pacing so slow as in the scenes are stretch and they keep on chasing and chasing one another as if playing the game "it" or maybe the lack of sub made it so boring to me and I find the conflict very shallow?I guess the story doesn't appeal to me.

• It puzzled me a little at the huge number of people highly anticipating this drama when there was so little given in the way of synopsis other than it's a noona romance. Is it because the male lead is the current it guy? Or the actress a well-known movie star? Or is it the very premise of a younger man romancing a slightly older woman? I am seriously scratching my head.

  • The lead actress is a popular movie star and this is her comeback drama after several year. I don't know the lead actor but he has over a million followers in Instagram, so there's that. This is also the only pure romance out right now that doesn't have a terminal illness, annoyingly intrusive company politics, corruption, end of the world stuff, or any of those things. So it is refreshing.

  • He's not an IT guy yet. He just got into people radar last year after a scene stealer on While You Were Sleeping. She is a very well known 'Hallyu Star' - She was in popular dramas years ago, then she moves to movie. People anticipate this drama because first, both of them are very good looking, drop dead gorgeous - the last since song song couple. Second, its been a while since we have a good romance drama, may be the last count is DOTS, which was 2 years ago. Last year was full of sageuk, criminal, lawyer, doctor, time travel - there wasnt any big hit in a long time. So people hope this could be a hit - a good drama that everyone can talk about.

  • A lot of people are highly anticipating the drama because it comes from Director Ahn Pan Seok? The director has delivered solid projects one after another - White Tower, A Wife's Credentials, Secret Love Affair, Heard It Through the Grapevine, among others. That's the main reason.

• Love this drama♥️

• I really wanted to love it for son ye jin but found it so boring

  • Also doesn't help that some fans want them to be the next song song couple so bad

    • Well that's creepy

    • Ugh please stop it!

    • omg..you have got to be kidding me!.I know people like shipping visual couple pairings but can people use their head sometimes.I guess the writer fed their delulu a little because he said the story for this drama is inspired by songsong.

      How will a public relationship or even marriage help Jung Hae In at this point of his career?Also Son Ye Jin has worked with alot of actor hunks.She just worked with So Ji Sub in a romance and had the same kind of heart fluttering chemistry.If Son Ye Jin will ever date or marry..I think she would end up.with a non celebrity like Jun Ji Hyun.

• The BGM was sometimes too loud. The drama gave me Temperature of Love feels, which means I’ll probably end up dropping it and it’s not because it’s a slice of life drama. You can make a slice of life drama without making it boring.

  • Ya. "Because This Life Is Our First" and "Fight My Way" are slice of life dramas done pretty well.

• they are selling the otp,as simple as that, hoping will make people watch it to 16epi. no competition drama on fri, but during sat. broadcast they have, so rating will be fine.
