Was Sad Dad crying tonight because he didn't sell anything in twenty years of owning the store? ;-)

Did not know anything about the rarified world of tea and coffee tasting. If our girl will be doing anything other than making lattes at a non-chain Starbucks, it's not clear from the episodes I stayed awake for. She's being trained to know the different beans, etc. but this is not a fancy restaurant she'd be working in. It's not like she'd be a sommolier (cannot get this spelled right) at a fancy restaurant. Granny is a tea maker, so that's a little different. She's a wholesaler and invents the recipes, I think. And what is she supposed to do at the bakery? Counter help? Or is she a trained pastry chef now? Or business woman? For a show obsessed with careers, it's a little confusing.
Dad is crying because the inanimate objects he speaks to will have to get new homes and he will have no one to talk to at work.

Hmm. Nobody has much to say about this show. Not much happens.
On tonight's episode: Dad: Good bye, vase. Good bye, painting. Oh, bowl, how have you been? Ah, Dae Jo Young's sword, what a fine fellow.
Rich Tea Lady: Glares at him. I'm going to get him. Rich Tea Lady's Assistant: I'll help you. What will we do? RTL: Not much. But that house will be mine! Let's go glare at his mother for a while. Mom: Oh, hi, rich tea lady. Here's your laundry. RTL: Thanks. By the way, Your husband is talking to the antiques again. Mom: What! Ya bo, you never talk to me. You never tell me I'm beautiful but you said it to that desk just the other day. You even love that vase more than me. You bought a doily for that coffee table but won't buy me a new hanbok. Dad: Have a lettuce cup. Mom: OK, I'm not mad any more. Here comes Seunghye and Seunga. Seunghye: Guess what? I have ten more job offers today. Starbucks, McDonald's, Korean Physical Therapy Associates, I got into med school and Oriental medicine school, and I qualified as a wine taster, tea taster, coffee taster, cheese taster and kimchi taster. Which one should I pick, or should I stay torn between a coffee taster and cake saleswoman? Seunga: you're not as pretty as me. Seunghye: Guess what? I have ten more job offers.

Just finished ep 31...after downloading all the episodes for the period I will be away, I find I can watch them on the KBS Youtube site just like at home - don't remember that from last year....
Anyway, both Seunghae and Seungjae are adopted - I still don't quite understand why this is such an issue....but that's kdrama....

Four days with no comments. This show is bad in a different way than the others, which were so bad they were good. This is just slow.
On Monday's episode. Granny: Should you sell coffee or tea? Seunghae: Coffee? Tea? Coffee? Tea? Tea Lady: I'm going to get them. Poodlepal: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
I literally cannot stay awake for this one.

Well, not all that much going on - except knowing that the two older kids are adopted but Seungjae doesn't know yet....maybe that is why he is so close to Seunghae - he feels the adoptee affinity.
And now Seunga is just over the top with her hatred for Seunghae - I wish we knew more about how she got the burn scar for which Seunghae seems to have taken responsibility.
It seems the two adoptees are better people than the youngest - maybe she was just spoiled...
I think the aunt and the doctor are hilarious - I bet they end up together.
Otherwise, not a whole lot to say...

Wow, a full week went by. I also have nothing to say. Apparently, it all goes off the rails by episode 61. Right now it's pleasant, but pretty plotless.
Gotta go, Poodle is barking at me. I'll be back when something really interesting happens. Seriously, it was good to see the story of the scar and evil women mixing up tapes/uSBs/Tea, etc. is aways fun.

The only thing that matters now is Who will have sex on The Rooftop with whom?

Nobody is on a rooftop, nobody seems particularly in love, and sex--I'd love to see it (well, not really, but something has to happen other than selling or not selling much food at various counter service places.

The rooftops they show in the opening credits look really uncomfortable to have sex on

It must be a cultural thing but I HATE it that Seunghye finds out about the Mom spiking the tea and refuses to tell Pastry Doc Boy. This happens all the time

Yes, dodgerman, can you think of any drama where there wasn't some similar type of lie - omission or commission. :-)
But tonight PDB found the tea in Mom's fridge....that was a strange lapse on her part - considering how much she has tried to engineer everything else that has gone on with getting her revenge on the Tea family etc....

There's something missing in this show and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Conflict? Emotion? Intensity? I'm just used now to the over the top ones with babies and murders and revenge and this one about tea and coffee just seems a little slow?
I'm looking forward to episode 61, when it apparently goes off the rails. Right now, it's too much on the rails.
