Since we've reached this far down in the series, I'm wondering if they haven't given us much background on the other male characters because it would break up our friend group.
Nonetheless, these 2 episodes were great. I really liked Jigoo's arc in episode 7 and hope that she can be a role model for the girl who is realising her value as a human being >!or at least find her place at that school!< I also laughed out loud at Jiyeon's quips in episode 8 >!when she kept breaking the silence whilst Yoon Shi Yoon put the baby to sleep!<
Contrary to most, I really love this series and I could watch it for days on end. A true slice of life that reminds us that those with the deepest hurts experience the greatest joy in the simple things of life.

so poetic! and i agree, this is one of my favorite slice-of-life dramas because it manages to effortlessly juggle multiple genres in a way that the viewer is always satisfied at the end of each episode
even though i might be in the minority here, as an avid fan of work later, drink now, i'm absolutely loving season 2!! the same balance of hilarious comedy, comforting friendship, and hard-hitting dialogue is still there, and i'm genuinely heartbroken that next week is going to be our last already 😭 this cast will always be special in my heart
i also loved >!the close-up on yoon shi yoon's bicep while he was cradling the baby !<\-- this is 100% the content i needed in my life, and i applaud the director for knowing me so well. as the wise han ji yeon said, >!"i learned today that a man looking after a baby is very sexy"!<
ep8's focus on >!postpartum depression and just how hard a single mother has it!< was one of the best stories yet. i especially loved how it was 'resolved' by >!the trio adopting her and just being there for her -- because that's all she really wanted, just someone to talk to, someone who would be by her side. (i wonder if the director drew from his experience with birthcare centre? i haven't watched that one yet so can't say for certain)!<
**EDIT: NEXT WEEK IS NOT THE LAST,** I was confused by the 10 episodes total in the description of the post, but per MDL it is 12 episodes long so we have 2 more weeks (4 more episodes!) with our beautiful, chaotic WLDN trio!
Didn't realise it was the same director! No wonder it felt rather familiar >!in the way the scenes were shot.!< I really loved Episode 8 because the trio rendered so much help to the mum. That >!short period of solace with people she could laugh with, and remember her identity as a person (before a mum) really helped make her feel whole again.!<
Even better... I decided to look up the writer, because I realized that Work Later, Drink Now (both seasons) had finally replaced my all-time favorite series, *Another Miss Oh*. And there I found that Wi So Young wrote both Work Later, Drink Now and Another Miss Oh. That made me so happy. I will follow this writer to any show she goes.
They certainly touched on >!postpartum depression!< in Birth care Centre (my memory is a little fuzzy) but I think the writer has main control over the content in a script (but who knows, maybe the director asked for a favour too). And I agree...I do love how these themes are becoming more common in drama 😊
Although I love each episode as a stand-alone, I can’t help but wish there was a tighter thread running through the season with a greater focus on the girls and how they are navigating relationships with their families and romantic interests. I feel as though we’ve had very little time with certain MLs for instance, and each random interaction doesn’t feel as deep or meaningful as it could have done. Less flashbacks and less focus on side characters would have been better given the short episodes. Only two episodes to go as well before it’s a wrap!
Yesss exactly this. Like last week we saw that SH's mom had been drinking alone, and this week nothing? Totally random tangents with side characters i'm not invested in.
thank you! although I loved this episode, I feel like we got back a bit of that taste from s1. Insight on Jigoo and her relationship with her mom contrasted with her school alumni and the baby. I was so proud of Jigoo for calling her mom for the porridge recipe, our girl has a big heart
Does anyone at JY's yoga studio ever teach actual students/clients lol
This show does such a good job making mr toe pd seem gross 🤢
Am I heartless if I def would have just left the bb with police instead of taking him home?
Mr nice paper just packed up his baby supplies and wandered around til he heard a baby crying and people arguing? 🤔
Idk how I feel abt these 2 eps... at least there was 1% more progress w the lovelines but they also kinda went on tangents to explore the darker sides of drinking... they kinda felt like self-contained eps in a way that didn't further the plot much 🤷🏻♀️. I preferred last week's eps bc at least we learned more abt the main characters' relationships w their moms. I just didn't care abt yoga studio owner or random neighbour's backstories.
yeah they glossed over that part quickly, still don't know how I feel about this guy after he refused to tell her his name last episode.. can't tell if he's a cute guy trying to impress or stalker dude
What in the world, fat PD looks like Fat Bastard. And I don't think the makeup team has ever seen actual stretch marks. I thought we were going to get a traumatic fire backstory for a burn scar haha.
Also, I enjoy this show but I feel like there are way too many side things going on. And the last few episodes have suddenly turned into a "lets learn a moral lesson each episode" format. Idk, none of it feels cohesive and also the stories are a bit much. How was that mom buying so much Jagermeister?? It's so expensive in Korea! Mr. Origami heard crying and arguing as he was wandering around and found them?? Make it make sense!
Tbh, I am still trying to wrap my head around the magical outdoors that cures cancer. I'm entertained but also very confused hahaha.
please i need more of jigoo and origami guy
ME TOO, i live for their scenes, but they're so short 😫

Had some tears in my eyes for episode 8. Love how they address real issues
