@MIC,@KDaddict,hi, thanks for your comment. I have just finished episode 8. Jung Il Woo acting is so adorable as expected. The story line is Korean cute romance, however, I like the way they create the characteristic of each Rymyun guys, make me launch, especially, Lee Ki Woo. Will continue for the next episode, hope to be more interesting story line.

If you love Jung Il Woo but haven’t watched Return of Iljimae, then you r missing a fantastic performance by him! I’m enjoying it a great deal more than Ramyun Shop. In it he wears ninja hair, n looks oh so cool too!
JIW looks n acts completely diff as IJM, as Scheduler n now as Cha Chi Soo. Each char he has created leaves a deep impression. Definitely not a vase!
@Momo, hi,
Enjoy this show n the others I mentioned, if you haven’t already. I’m just getting to appreciate JIW’s acting in the process. Merry Christmas!

@243 KDaddict
Hahaha! Totally understand how you feel regarding LCA. As you’ve said it’s exactly how I felt when I first saw her. Maybe her face and acting need some getting used to…? Maybe not some but lots… Cos’ actually come to think of it, I’ve seen a few dramas and movies with her in either lead or supporting roles. So it was with much skeptism and reluctance when I first started watching this drama. So I’m still surprise at how I’m feeling now…
December 20th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
why is it that there is no rating for this show?
December 20th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
Ep 15:
I love it that every time he turns around, he changes his clothes. It’s like a one-man fashion show.
It’s so cute! He hasn’t ever taken the subway b4, n has no idea how! Hahaha.
Wae Jang nim, who has been so cute, so doting a father, suddenly turns into monster-dad! Yuk.
Isn’t it too easy to defeat Cha CS w just 1 blow? Threaten to tear off the ramyun bldg, thereby rendering the kids homeless, n ChaCS comes home running! Poor Boy!
@jangerr-#253:
So maybe she’s an acquired taste?! Pls tell me why u love her to bits, to see if it can help me enjoy her too. I’m watching Return of IJM n loving it thoroughly becos I love the actress as well as JIW. Much better that way.

@KDaddict
Frankly, my dear, I’m not sure too… Somehow I just became increasingly drawn to her with each episode and before I knew it, bam wham, I’m in, hook, line and sinker! That’s why I’m still surprise at how I’m feeling…
December 21st, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Wow!The ending was great! I really hope that they would make a second season with the same cast.
December 21st, 2011 at 10:29 pm
wow! this drama is killing me..love it.
so sad it’s only 16 episode.. waiting for the season 2.fighting! <3

Ep 16: Spoiler:
I just finished ep 16. I didn’t feel a thing, n actually had no idea what happened! EB went to ChaSung to clain CCS as her own. Then his father had him sent to the army. They also lost the Ramyun Shop; the boys moved out. EB is teaching night class somewhere. Huh?
I was wondering what was developing. Then I found out that it has ended! Ha ha ha. I guess I never got this thing, fr beginning to end!
@jangerr,
I’m too stunned to speak! What do you get out of the last ep. Is abt their love? What abt brotherhood? Friendship? Closure?

Sorry to say : ” Me too, flower” better than this drama.just try to watch it. you will totally love that drama. seriously
December 22nd, 2011 at 7:50 am
I thought abt it, n think this is what they r saying:
Life n love r like ramyun:
you’ve to eat that which suits you;
you’ve to eat it while it is cooked just rt, i.e. at the rt moment.
ramyun may not be hi class, but it sustains you.
There is no forever:
ppl come together in the ramyun shop when it provides them w a home, n a place to grow, n then they scatter to go their own ways.
Is love forever? Do u get the feeling that ChaCS n EB will be together forever? I don’t think that’s the pt here.
Constipation is certainly a recurrinng theme here, n getting un-constipated is impt. I guess that means to thy own self be true.
I’m glad I got to watch JIW be Cha CS, the rest of the show notwithstanding.
Looking fwd to his next project.

Jung Il Woo’s next project, Moon that embraces the Sun, premieres Jan 4. Olay!
Qn is: Why does he pick a drama in which he is Not the lead? It’d be interesting to find out.
December 22nd, 2011 at 3:05 pm
(Spoiler Alert! Don’t read on if you haven’t watched the last episode.)
I like the ending! It has enough closure and resolutions and yet open enough for a touch of realism. The tone of the whole show is maintained here – comedic, manhwa-like yet have sufficient depth.
I love how the story has the reversal fairy tale, with Eun Bi being the prince who dashed off to rescue his princess!!! I love heroines who kick-ass and not sit around moping and crying. Someone with sass and guts, like Eun Bi! Adore the way she went to the dad holding her toilet plunger like a dragon-slaying sword to claim her love. One word – AWESOME!!!
Of course, I would love to have more lovey-dovey scenes but with only 16 episodes of 45 mins each, there’s only so much that can be included. So I can accept the ending without too much of that. What is important is the message about love. That when love comes, there’s no need to over analyze, no need to over think, just grab the bull by its horn, so to speak! Just like ramyun – best eaten when it starts to boil!!!

Finally ..I Finished watch this drama…mo re ge ta!!
They ended ..my hot Drama…just like that!!!..but I agree with janggerr..they not have much time to makes lovey-dovey scenes.
Anyway can wait to watch M.E.S n Other song from JIW,marry christmas&happy new year everyone.
