Thank you so much for creating a NY/NJ board ! this drama is hard to figure out so far, but I am intrigued, and so of course I keep watching....

[puppy]

I'm less intrigued but holding on. It HAS to get better, less silly. None of the characters has captured me so far. There seems to be somethig a little distasteful about all of thrm.

[door60]

Where have I seen the actor who plays the father of the girl who was dumped? It's driving me crazy because I can not remember.

[brooklyn]

He's Ilhan's uncle from The Chill Sisters. Took me a while to figure out but I'm sure it's him lol.

[Linda]

I think the actress playing the mother of the 3 brothers was also in Chil sisters as Seochil's birth mother that gave her away and ended up dying near the end.

[mara]

I also figured out who the father was but I didn't recognize the mother from Chil sisters at all....I'll look at her harder on Saturday.

This one doesn't thrill me yet either.

What's up with the Korean fart humor? I've seen that before on other dramas - I temporarily have MBC America on FIOS Verizon and one there without esubs has a lot of that also.

[brooklyn]

I think it's overall Asian humour, Mara, lol. I've seen it in Japanese and Chinese shows as well. Oh and the woman who farted, isn't she the 'refined' mom from the Road Home who was Jisu's birthmother?

Wow, I knew that woman looked familiar but I couldn't place her - yes, Jisu's birth mother - very refined in that drama. And her husband in that one, Han Jin Hee, is in Assorted Gems/Jewel Bibimbap playing a completely different type of role......

That's one of the amazing things I've noticed watching these dramas - how the actors portray completely different characters from one to the next - e.g. Mrs. Mechanic in ChaCha and the Liao Empress in Iron Empress......

[brooklyn]

Yes, I love that about the actors in these dramas too.

I really don't know about this drama. I'm with puppy on this, I'll watch with the hopes of it getting better. The end of the preveiw tonight showed Eoyeong and her ex making out while Isang was walking towards them with flowers. So a love triangle, possibly, where Isang's going to have to win Eoyeong over. Wonder how many episodes that will take up? lol

[door60]

I'm beginning to like this drama -- it's a bit darker that the weeday dramas, and more realistic.

[brooklyn]

It's pretty physical and the dialogue is loose. Something I noticed since Mom's Dead Upset. They're getting with the times, slowly but surely lol.

[puppy]

FINALLY a little weepygirl tension between the young cop and the mean DA he has to work with.

I don't understand some of these young K-marriages where the couples seem to hate each other: ie., middle son and his poor, hardworking, browbeaten wife; Jingyeong and Han in ChaChaCha; the doctor son and his wife in Road Home (was it Road Home?). He was always playing video games and picking on her.
Now, in 3 Bros, even the older couple act that way; he throws her out and she calls him names. (I really find her awful.) There's at least one of these negative relationships in every modern drama. I guess, like the typical humor brooklyn mentioned above, it's part of K-culture.

And I don't know if I'd call it dark, dorrie. More like, I don't know, dumb? I'm trying real hard to get into this one. Otherwise, I'm relegated to an old flick on TCM or another Food Channel Challenge marathon. (One more Disney Cakes repeat and I'll scream!)

[brooklyn]

Yes, Minsu and Miriyeong from TRH. What's kinda annoying me is the acting style of the youngest son. His body language is too dramatic, like Sabby in YAMD. I'm a weirdo to nitpick at body language lol, but it's a distraction for me.
