Not into fashion dramas and not a fan of Jang Ki Yong. So it must be the premise or Song Hye Kyo that got me. Ki Yong should get acting lessons from Hye Kyo. She is good.

Woke up to rave reviews from those who had watched Ep 1.
Now my interest is stoked and my curiosity is bursting thro the seams already.
Can’t wait for my turn to start watching …
In my personal opinion, if Search: WWW was good .. what will NWABU be ?
Let’s wait and see, though very likely I guess this time round, I have met my match in the “commenting department”. It’s cuz I don’t know what to say …
Not to worry anyway. From the reviews and comments I came across this morning here and elsewhere, dear fellow viewers, I believe you will not be short of good reading material to read. All is well.
Bye !! Have a nice weekend.

Hello. We meet again. Nice to meet you. Hope to see more of you here. This thread is too quiet.
November 14th, 2021 at 1:22 am
I’m hooked with watching the 1st episode. Both jang ki yong & song hye kyo are a great match. They have chemistry. Unfortunately, considering she is in the fashion industry, Hye Kyo’s clothes are not facinating and trendy, in fact they are a bit old fashioned. I recently watched Itaewon Class again, and the female lead, Kim Da Mi, dresses better than her. Hope her stylist will do better in the next coming episodes. Otherwise, NWRBU is a drama to watch. I am sure it will have good ratings. Looking forward to the next episode. Aja!

#11 Suejanthi — Sorry, I don’t remember you but happy to be here with you.
Just watched episode 2. Wow!
I’m hooked.

I must say the piano and orchestra piece at the end just before the epilog was hauntingly classic silver screen. So well written/arranged by an uncredited composer whom the production have deemed unimportant when in fact the score is an important factor in what makes a great drama/movie.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:14 am
Jae Kook asks if she knew Yoon Soo Wan to which Young Eun replied:
“Yes, I do. I’m still trying to break up with him.”
Could this be the meaning of the title: “Now, We Are Breaking Up”? It’s about her break up with Yoon Soo Wan and subsequent falling in love with Jae Kook.
But, at the end of episode 2, it appears Jae Kook is entertaining the thought she might have somehow contributed to his brother’s death. That’s add tension.

Disappointing that the drama is not showing here yet where I am.
For now, I can chirp in a bit from the little of what I know about the drama (published synopsis). This is what I think :
Quote – ” Yes, I do. I am still trying to break up with him” – said YE.
A/1) Yes, it could be what the title of the drama is referring to, and not to the breakup of YE/JK relationship.
And I think this is the key to the underlying reason what made her what she is today. This is the story of the drama ??
A/2) Of course, it could also mean what it is – Now we are breaking up ??
At the moment, its still too early to ascertain which is which. Maybe later, after a few more episodes we might know for sure.
B) Again its still too early to know whether she was partly responsible for her ex boyfriend’s death. I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt. She does not look to me to be the conniving, cunny, mean and greedy or “killer” type . Headstrong and independent yes, but these are not killer traits. My opinion is, the deceased was somehow responsible for his own demise. Sometimes, its easier to blame in order to ease the pain of loss ….
Well, these are my guesses. If not worth two cones of icecream at least take them as trashy entertainment reading. Ahem… Hehe !!
Have a good day !!

Some unflattery online comments made onlinr about the age differance between the FL and ML, have prompted me to say something about this :-
1) Well, from the tone of the comments, it’s obvious that the commenters do not appreciate or understand the drama’s story at all, that is, the romance between an older woman and a younger man. They are watching the wrong drama. They should be watching Teletubbies or Doraemon on tv instead.
2) Anyway, these commenters made the age difference as if it too horrible to digest. What’s so bad about it? Eeww !! Grow up people ! So what do you think of a dumped ex mistress with a teenage daughter and who is crazy over a younger family man sound to you? Sounds better than “age difference” ? Yes yes? La la la ? So please take a look at the mirror make sure that you are perfect first, before you make any hypocritical comments about people’s age or whatever. Watch out. Karma is a bitch.
3) I am not a fan of Song Hye Kyo either, but do we need to bitch about her? Can’t we leave her alone?
Let’s just enjoy the drama and make the best of it.
November 17th, 2021 at 8:03 pm
Madchen, i understand what you mean. You said well. I have come across such practice very often. It is common toxic mouth practice. Worse the ones who enjoy doing it agressively. Dirty business this. Despicable. I hope they will stop their toxic mouth too. Hope too they will just watch and enjoy the drama.
I like to watch Song Hye Kyo. She very pretty. I like her. But Jang Ki Yong people say he is handsome. I dont know. My boyfriend is more handsome i think.

Hahaha .. I am really surprised to hear from you. Frankly, I was expecting to receive some bad response to my post. You know, the proverbal firing squad coming for me? But instead you came. This is brave of you. Hahaha !! Thanks for your support.
You said you have a handsome boyfriend ? He will be very happy if he had heard what you said about him being more handsome than an actor ! By the way, you didn’t yank him off from the street did you? Hahaha ! Just kidding. I wish both of you all the best !!
Have a great time watching this drama. Enjoy !!
November 18th, 2021 at 12:21 pm
too bad that hye kyo play safe on her comeback, unlike jun ji hyun and han hyo jo who took unusual roles, so it’s a bit boring huh?
im hye kyo’s fans, looking forward for her unusual drama 🙂

Honestly, I have not watched this drama yet. (Not being screened yet where I am). So my comments are based on what I’ve read online only. Sounds silly isn’t it?
I have come across both types of comments about this drama. For some viewers love it. Some others found it boring. Hard to please everyone.
As for me? I don’t know what’s the verdict. I have yet to watch drama.
November 20th, 2021 at 3:59 pm
Nice ❤️
November 20th, 2021 at 4:15 pm
@madchen — I’ll apologize for the spoiler, but I will reveal this since I initiated the speculation. According to episode 3, it appears Young Eun didn’t even know Soo Wan had died, she assumed he dumped her. I’ll leave it there.
November 21st, 2021 at 1:38 am
I love the casts. Sorry for spoiled Why? Ep4 have the repeat scenes of ep 3.plzzz nooooo. Little bit piss me off. OMG. Something in this drama is not make any sense in this storyline but I will keep watching and supporting it because it’s a very quality of the casts .OMG OMG. I try to understand this is a drama so I will still enjoy it. 10 years???? Sorry for spoiled but 10 years ohhhh come on. 10 years and two months Ohhhh noooooo. All the cast cheers. Good luck . Fighting and all the viewers enjoy .

Enjoy your weekend !! 🙂
P/s BTW, happy for you. 😘

I prefer the documentaries about fashion world than fiction bcs is hard to make a good drama from it, it’s such a pretentious and superficial environment at the same time so I focus on the romantic story rather but even this part it seems to me forced? So in reality the girl had a two months romance in France with a guy that was already engaged in SK. The guy died in a car accident when he went to meet her in SK. After she was waiting for him and she didn’t come, she thought that he dumped her and 10 years she never had a minimal curiosity to know about his life though she knew his name. Nobody ever contacted her though they knew who she was, meaning the guy’s mother or fiance to make her life miserable since they consider her responsible for his death, so the guy she was badly in love with just vanished without a trace? After ten years, still the inconsolable fiancee who kept the guy’s phone in her bag, suddenly uses it to seek revenge in a low manner, give me a break, this is so dumb and unrealistic. Idk but the plot isn’t convincing.

I like Song Hye Kyo &Jang Ki Yong being the main casts. I am enjoying the drama. Fighting!!!
December 11th, 2021 at 1:56 pm
me too, I m enjoying the drama cos song hye Kyo is one of my favourite korean actress… she is awesome n beautiful..
December 14th, 2021 at 12:42 am
I don’t understand the parents’ objection on learning that Young-Eun and Soo-Won had dated. Are the folks in the drama adhering to some social ethic I don’t know of?
In Judeo-Christian society, according to the law of Moses, if a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. However, if a man dies leaving his wife with no children, his brother is expected to marry his widow and the first son she bears shall carry on the name of the dead brother.
I’m not aware of a South Korean ethic that has folks frown upon a union between a man and a woman where the woman previously dated the man’s brother who had since, passed away. Anyone know SK social protocols and care to comment?

I get the impression that the parents’ objection has more to do with their personal discrimination and a superstitious belief that YE is the “bad luck” that killed their son. This is an outdated asian belief. In our current era we dont believe or practise it anymore. But there will still be some diehards who keep such outdated ignorant superstitious outlook with them. It has nothing to do with religion, more to do with generational social practice, I think. A superstitious practice that is being handed down and propagated just because ….. without questioning why ?

This morning, a piece of news snippet reported – backed by a picture of a screehshot – that Song Hye Kyo is now following Jang Ki Yong’s IG.

I likeeee & enjoy with this drama… Fighting ^^

I enjoyed watching Jang Ki Yong & Song Hye Kyo pairing but
I am disappointed with the ending. So what you are both in true love but living apart just because Jang Ki Yong’s step mother objected to this relationship? Song Hye Kyo can just move to Paris with Jang Ki Yong since her boss already sold the brand SONO to her. If she loves her career so much, she can continue her brand over in Paris since she is so smart in this drama. Though the ending said they will meet again one day but when??? Aigoooooo……
January 10th, 2022 at 5:04 pm
Yea I too did not like this drama. Waste of time watching. Weird ending too
January 12th, 2022 at 6:44 am
Was total waste of time. Had really bad story line. SHK is a veteran actress, and she should have know better than to take a script like this regardless of how much she gets paid.
January 18th, 2022 at 1:03 pm
A drama without salt and piper, outdated conception of parents, the lack of chemistry, the love story not convincing, SHK’s acting was plat and slow – she acted just like her role from Encounter, nothing memorable.
January 19th, 2022 at 5:07 pm
I have noticed it too, that SHK is no more the actor or person that she used to be. She could be very tired. Maybe, a long break might do her good, then come back with a fresh new personality?
January 27th, 2022 at 12:04 am
SHK started another brand and name it Reciprocate.
She and Jang Ki Yong met again in final episode last 5 mins. I take it that they are together in then end. Haha.
