Why is Se-Young there? Why did she do what she did? Why did she enter this contest? She sleeps with San, but not any more? Why is Seok-Ho there?
Can he do anything but brood? Doesn't he have any sense of responsibility for the people who are under him? Why doesn't he follow rules? Isn't he just the most extraneous character ever? Not that Lee Seon-kyun is doing a bad job - in fact, he is doing a great job, and I like his acting very much here.
But you could substitute him with a few other actors, and I think the end result would be the same. Pasta is being carried by Gong Hyo-jin, and wouldn't you know it, but she more than carries Pasta, she is breathing extraordinary life into it.
I don't know what's up with her here, because I thought she was one of the the best things in the risible "Partner".
Totally agreeing with samsooki - the reason I picked up Pasta in the first place is because I like Gong Hyo-jin and Lee Seon-kyun so much. The two of them are basically carrying the whole show, because to be honest, almost every other character seem like a bit of an afterthought, like, oh we need conflict so we'll stick in the ex-girlfriend who's a bit of a bitch but disappears in about 3 episodes so our protagonists get some lovin' and then reappears to really deliver one to Gong Hyo-jin's character.
Personally I'd be on Team Italy's side - at least they're not sore losers, case in point the big cookoff here when they lost but congratulated Team Korea who then were like Alex is adorable but I'm still not sure what he's doing in this drama. Not sure he knows either. Although the latest episode did sort of do him better justice in terms of character development, even though he's still a wimp in the area of romance, which seems like a bit of an irony to what Alex displayed in WGM. It's like, all these threads were started and then dropped in this drama, which is a bit funny.
I suppose realistic, but still What happened to all the political plotting and behind the scenes backstabbing?! I think Alex has an easy on-screen charm. And I even think it's just as well he's a light-weight actor, because this is a light-weight drama, and if he were an acting heavy I'd probably be head-desking in sympathy with him Amen to that!
Although, I do have to mention that I think LSK is a little bit easier on the eyes than a box of macaroni You know, I've watched up through ep 14, and it wasn't until people started mentioning the plot inconsistencies that I really even noticed them But I have to say I really, really dislike Se-young. What a despicable human being.
I mean, screwing over your colleague is bad, screwing over a friend is worse That's just plain inhuman. But I do like San I just wish he'd make a move already! Even if I know it won't pan out. Loved The Recap! Same with Maria 17 - I loved the Philip cap about his hair But I also liked mentioning Kang. Sure it is a very cougar like situation, but I liked their tiny tiny storyline.
It was in ep 14, the scene where she was moping at the bus stop, near the end of the ep where she really knocked me off my seat. Looking forward to the ep 8 recaps! Many times i've been told "C'mon, i can do it" watching me in the eye to cheer me up. So the chef wants her to gain confidence by thinking "Posso farlo" while cooking. This kind of drama is funny from the beginning but getting boring , out of story line, just as smile you even with solid casts.
A lot of viewers like dramas with handsome casts regardless of lacking of acting skills as in you're beautiful , will it snow for Christmas , return of Iljima. Love your comments.
Love this drama. Love that actor and his voice. Even when he yells he gives it the right meaning. For me the main interest is the lead couple because she has such integrity and such stubbornness at all calamities. She just won't let go of her Chef and her desire to prove herself to him as a good cook.
He cannot shake her off and he has her in his mind against his first dislike of women in his kitchen. A fine romance indeed. Two fine actors. It is a light and lovely story really but the setting in the restaurant kitchen really makes me happy. I love to see the dishes being made and the completion. I have given up any Cordon Bleu cooking years ago but I can appreciate seeing others tossing and mixing.
Having no taste for food after many months of chemo I am now thinking I must start some panning pasta once again. I can taste the dishes the chefs are preparing. It is perking up my taste buds again. That's another reason that I am enjoying this drama. I have had my fill of mayhem and deceptions and crazy historical battles so this drama is a wonderful refreshment. I know the unspeakable ex GF will get nowhere and I agree that this actress has one string to her acting bow.
I love team Italy! The chemistry between the lead characters is amazing!!! Thanks for the recap! I'm thinking exactly the same things! I see what the characters are doing, but I'm not quite sure what it is they're thinking or what is really motivating them.
Alex's character, for one, has me a little confounded on how he really feels for YK. I see him being concerned, but doing nothing more than just "looking. Maybe he really is just playing around with YK? Does he really like her???
Anyways, could be the case of just bad character development. Still love this drama and can't wait to read the rest of the recaps! I think that when Hyu woon told the bitchy ex that she was going to lose to YK he wasnt just talking about the competition I'm watching it right now!!! This show is amazing, and i love the fact that it's just not talking about love! Sorry I'm really picky when it's coming to my language lol.

Thank you so much for a wonderful recap. Which just makes it worse. Poor San The fate of the second lead is descending upon you. Thanks for the wonderful Recap The 2 leads have one of the greatest chemistry on screen! And all those food porn That said Nice recap, btw, skimmy! Honey Lee I don't know what's up with her here, because I thought she was one of the the best things in the risible "Partner".
Although the latest episode did sort of do him better justice in terms of character development, even though he's still a wimp in the area of romance, which seems like a bit of an irony to what Alex displayed in WGM It's like, all these threads were started and then dropped in this drama, which is a bit funny. In the car, Seol-chan literally beats himself up over the head.
Then he sees her arrive at school from the classroom window. Ooh, does he see her in a different light now? Those words leave the idol boy understandably confused since he has no idea Sun-woo has seen the almost-kiss. We move onto the other broken bromance. You sure talk big, Cymbals Boy. Which is when Joon-hee steps in with a mockingly polite apology that they should even the playing field.
So Joon-hee calls their opponents okay, I give in. It cracks me up that Seol-chan yawns as soon as they begin. You can see the collective looks of Oh crap that settle on their faces at the realization that Hyo-rin can sing. The others step in before the situation escalates any further as voices of reason—instead of fighting, they should focus on what to do now. At the mention that they need someone else to sing it, Sun-woo momentarily glances at Nana.
But his jealousy flares again when he sees Sun-woo and Se-yi looking chummy through the window. He marches back inside to resume his stern music directing, and this time, it drives Se-yi to tears. Gah, that look of reserved guilt just about kills me. She asks why he keeps doing this to her—what on earth did she do to him?
She demands to know why he almost kissed her that night, but Seol-chan remains silent. He finally lets go when the ajusshi steps in. Meanwhile, Sun-woo calls Nana outside and asks her to help them out. Ack, so you do know that she can sing!
He reminds her that she once asked him what he sees in her. Nana denies it and she asks why she should help Se-yi. She slowly turns to face Sun-woo as he sings, his eyes fixated on her. Then Sun-woo stops to invite her to sing the duet together.
He starts over and over and over again, patiently waiting for her to join him. And then… she does. As they belt out in beautiful harmony, a flashback reveals that Sun-woo had indeed heard her sing as she walked to school that morning.
Their voices cohesively overlap in the present as they sing together. Rewind, replay! Elsewhere, Se-yi sits with the ajusshi on a park bench.
The ajusshi gives her a knowing smile and tells her that someone else asked that of him once. He got angry then because they already knew the answer… and so does Se-yi. Seol-chan collapses on his bed in a dejected mood, reminded of how he made Se-yi cry again.
Then he rises to unveil a package by the bed and breaks out in laughter. Ha, you would do something like that. Oh gosh, this looks WAY harder than the quadratic formula tune. Given how the others jump, it must be a familiar routine to the class, but both Seol-chan and Se-yi are caught off-guard.
Seol-chan blurts out that she had the same blank expression when he nearly kissed her, and they both flush at the mere mention of the incident. Then Seol-chan walks her through the rhythm, breaking it up into parts for her. After they perform it for their teacher, Seol-chan asks why she keeps staring at him—has she fallen for his idol star image charm now? Se-yi rolls her eyes at this. He does Se-yi slightly grimaces, heh and the gesture earns him a punch to the jaw. And the ajusshi wears a lighter-colored shirt now.
The Color Bar band gets to work immediately, their cheery mood and cohesiveness now returned. I appreciate how we get a rough cut of the music in practice, as the MR adds to the feel that this is practice, setting us up for a big reveal later. So Do-nam shares his hypothesis about Nana based upon what he previously overheard. He presumes she must work part-time at a room salon, i. He tries to shake Se-yi off when she offers to come with, but Se-yi stubbornly tags along.
Both Sun-woo and Seol-chan spot the two hurriedly race off and follow behind in their respective cars. Sun-woo confronts them as they argue outside of the club. But before he can say another word, Nana suddenly runs out of the doors and into his arms. Both Sun-woo and Do-nam intervene and engage them in a fight. Fists fly in every direction until the fight abruptly stops at the word of an older gentleman, who seems to recognize the group. He may have a scary presence but his fatherly concern for his daughter is the same as any parent.
He looks back at Sun-woo the only one who maintained eye contact before he leaves. The group grows nervous with less than thirty minutes to spare before the competition. Then Sun-woo calls back and before he runs out, he tells them to stall for time. Which means we get a hilarious scene of the Vice Principal trying to squeeze his car into a narrow parking spot.
To make matters worse, his phone runs out of juice when he calls Teacher Dokko for help. She bends down to pick up a rogue spool and cuts her already injured hand. Sun-woo finds her in her crying state, and she lashes at him when she hears that they spoke with her father.
They must find her pathetic to see the rumors about her come to light. Now they know about her parentage, with her gangster boss for a father and her room salon owner for a mother.
Through her tears, she bites out:. That I exchanged words with that kind of girl! That I lowered myself to sing with her. She tells him to get out.
The Vice Principal finally finds a way out of his car and bursts into the auditorium, annoyed and sweaty. The orchestra drops out and a chorus chimes in to robustly round out the song in soft harmony. When they finish, the teachers break in applause as do the small group of students who snuck in, hee. The Color Bar members hang their heads. The Color Bar band takes the stage and Kyu-dong nervously stands in the center, trying to calm his nerves.
He gets silent looks of encouragement from his teammates before they begin. Oh, whew. Surely the wait was worth it to watch the band finally perform onstage, even if it was just for the chance to perform elsewhere. But what we were really waiting for was to see how those talents would join together as one and boy, was it beautiful. I only hope that this is the first of many to come.
On that same note hur , I love how the show integrates their musical choices into the narrative. So it breaks my heart to hear how she deliberately alienates herself in shame of her family background and allows false rumors about her to spread. The broken bromantic relationships are still at the heart of this series for me, and I love how emotions continue to bubble at the surface despite the group coming back together again.
I love how Kyu-dong took a courageous step in this episode to confront Do-nam in an effort to repair their friendship. Your email address will not be published. It has come to my attention that dramacrazy. Can anyone please share with me any other websites I can go to watch episodes? Hi there! I came back to re-experience the episode haha and saw your comment! And I just saw that Dramacrazy is indeed down :. I didn't use dramacrazy as frequently as some other sites but they seemed to always have every drama that I wanted to watch or look up when I couldnt find it on other sites.
Sigh, I think it's a result of drama companies cracking down on the streaming websites. There was a previous set of popular drama websites that went down earlier this year or late last year too. Anyway, I mostly use viki to watch my dramas. But I'm going to take a guess that maybe there's region restrictions that prevent you from using sites like viki and dramafever boo.
I know a couple of other sites that I sometimes use but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to post all the links here Let me know if you see this message by replying back again here and I'll be happy to share my list with you! Hi MeeIsLee I would be very much interested to know what other options are available now considering these recent changes in the website streaming of dramas.
Don't they know that the only way Dramas of all genres can become popular is through these streaming sites? I have been watching all these american movies and shows until I discovered Asian dramas Pardon for not expressing my gratitude for your prompt reply yesterday. Thanks much! But yeah, like some other people have mentioned, gooddrama. Also try kshow. There were 3 other sites that I use to visit but they seem to be down or no longer posting video links :.
Thank you again MeeIsLee If you are still having this problem, you should watch it on Viki or Dramafever! They both have an app for apple products too. Although I suggest getting Viki more. You can also try watching Korean dramas on Hulu. Hi, you probably got your fix already I find that Dramafever is the best, but sometimes Viki will have the eng subs up sooner.
Though you can get some korean dramas on Hulu and Netflix, their drama selections are limited. Worse, even with the paid subscription, Hulu has ad interference, which is very annoying.
They get their dramas from Dramafever, so you might as well go straight to the source. Dramafever and Viki both have apple and samsung apps.
The broadcasted shows appear so fuzzy after watching dramas via HD roku. Hope some of this helps! My love for this drama is endless! There's just nothing I don't like. The Human love duet was beautiful. But I believe my favorite part was the beginning with Seol Chan's little jealous tantrum. When he shows up in front of Se-Yi and can't say anything. Then when he tells his manager to punch him. God, I almost died laughing.
I love this show sad that there's only a few episodes to go. Follow up awesome moment: He keeps hugging Nana and gets punched for it. I knew the moment he heard her sing he'd hug her I love how he just wears ALL his emotions on his sleeve - he doesn't even know what they are, half the time, but we always do.
I luff them ALL. I LUFF him toooo! I hope it maintains this good all the way and then I can have it to marathon :. Yes, I also can't believe how much I love this drama. I'm not really into high school dramas, but this one is outstanding.
All the kids are so talented and are either really playing all the instruments or are good enough to fake it really well -- bad fake playing is the worst in music scenes. Although, I laugh out loud every time they show Jaerok getting ready to play his cymbals, it's such a random choice of instrument to play with an orchestra, haha.
On another note, just wanted to mention -- I know all y'all at DB are short on time, so I greatly appreciate the recaps, which are always so well-written I'm a grammar nazi, but have yet to find an error on DB and are at times more entertaining than the actual drama.
If JB wants to put up a donate through paypal button up, I'd be more than happy to donate some cash, just as a sign of gratitude for the work you do.
I wonder about the cymbals too. I don't play an instrument, so I know very little about orchestra settings I was in choir all my life. To me the cymbal seems like the least played instrument in a group. So it cracks me up that he is so proud if being in this group, yet he really does not contribute much to it. Oh my word. Thank you for that But I can't stand this dude not one bit. On another note, I did not like One for All's performance at all.
It was kind of tacky. I've seen better performances than that. Might be because I really hated the song choice.. I cringed my way through this scene. The camera work was terrible for that scene where Na Na throws the CD over the gate. Thanks for the info. I was wondering which CD it was and what was the significance.
Though, I was thinking that it would be a song with a message. Something that says, turn around look at me I love you from afar but you're too good for me How can this show keep getting better and better?? Nana's voice was just amazing! I wish Kyu-Dong will become more confident and showcase his talent soon.. Maybe in the actual performance?
And Se-Yi likes Seol Chan!!! I absolutely loved the duet between Nana and Sun-woo as well as the Color Bar performance. I can't tell you how much I hit the replay button for those two songs. I'm not the biggest fan of Sun-woo as OTP material, but man, when he sang his last two songs I just thought of something.
What if Seol-chan and Se-yi team up as a unit group sub group? Later that night Hyun-ki apologizes for making In-oak help him you are way too sweet and thus forced to listen to all the gossip, and he takes her out for drinks — she beer and he orange juice. They commiserate together, finding common ground for the first time.
She gets tipsy and needles him for being so straight-laced, so he downs a glass of beer to spite her. Both pass out there that night, not even thinking of the worry their causing their respective father and father-in-law for the uncharacteristic behavior. The next morning rolls around and In-oak freaks out when she steps on a body… which turns out to be an equally freaked out Hyun-ki, clad in his boxers.
And nothing else. This little rascal has a LOT of growing up to do, and I think Song-hee will help him do that in her own way. As for Min-ki, he was practically non-existent this episode except as a brother and son. Woo-jae makes his epic proposal omo, my vocabulary is already being taken over by marriage-related words for this OTP! Seo-young needs someone to talk to and goes to see Sang-woo.
She gets the all-clear from the doctor but insists her neck still hurts and keeps on the neck brace. I fear for your poor little heart already. He promises to explain his strange behavior to his father — he just needs a couple weeks. I love that Woo-jae is doing things he never did before, all because of Seo-young President Kang points out that Woo-jae never once set foot in the company the past ten years. Seo-young apologizes and promises to remove them immediately all of which Woo-jae overhears.
Woo-jae follows her secretly, and Seo-young says her goodbyes, promising to live happily. Omona omona. Woo-jae, of course, overhears her saying all this, and is delighted. Seo-young heads back but loses her shoe in the swift creek, and Woo-jae wades into the water downstream to fish it out for her. Seo-young finally shares a little bit about herself, and after eating a late lunch together this couple always makes me huuungry!
Hahahaha this is gonna be epic. Sung-jae studies hard and feeds Seo-young in his own way what is it with these brothers?! He offers to give her a speed tutoring session, then, so she can learn about him.
Why so cute? Papa Kang gets kanoodled into driving a drunk nightclub patron home, but her hubby thinks his wife is cheating on him and beats up Papa Kang. The next morning Seo-young goes to the hospital to discuss with Sang-woo her growing feelings for Woo-jae, but she sees her brother getting in trouble for trying to get a bit of time off to go to his father at the police station.
She instead goes to the station and learns the whole story, setting off another huge argument with Papa Kang. The poor girl has so much hurt and hatred and just… pain bottled up inside. Instead of going to the movie theater for a date with Woo-jae, who is waiting with a bouquet of flowers, Seo-young goes to the Han River and cries her heart out.
The bottom line? Back at home, Mama Kang and Mi-kyung are anxiously waiting for Papa Kang, who called everyone home — including Sun-woo — for a meeting. I want to go together. In a nutshell: Everyone flips out, Seo-young gets the Family Grilling aka his parents ask about her parents, their occupation, etc. For seriously, on so many levels. I almost feel deprived of half of the viewing experience aka ranting!
How to describe it? Like, before the wedding, fast. Because if he knows and chooses to keep the secret from his parents, then she has someone on her side when the truth is revealed — and trust me, it will be revealed.
