But still liked where Bon and Ae-rin ended up. Thankfully whenever they did it they quickly course-corrected.ĭuring the show’s run, I was an enthusiastic proponent of dealing with the husband elephant so I could get Hot Spy Nooky. That plotline made negative sense and whenever they did it they dropped Joon-Joon and KIS and the female characters too so I can’t say it was my favourite part of the show. I admit that when it shifted to the spy plotline it fell down a bit. Not even the extraordinary volume of PPL could drag it down – if anything, the show’s determination to sell me everything from handbags to cars to children’s toys, BB cream, coffee drinks and Quiznos only added to its sense of fun in the end.
I could honestly watch another 50 episodes of Joon-Joon, and KIS, and Bon’s Great Bromances, nose kisses and found family, and NIS agents being annoyed at Ae-Rin selling handbags. My Dad crushing on So Ji Sub was the best part of my 2018 drama watching.Īs for the show itself, I really liked it. He didn’t enjoy it – he absolutely loved it! More weirdly (and delightfully) he loved So Ji Sub and the character of Bon and became a bit of fan girl for a while. I picked up this show even though I was on a new show hiatus because I saw the description and thought my Dad would enjoy it. Is it swamped with ridiculous volumes of PPL? Are the spy parts badly plotted? Yes and yes. It’s not just business for him, like Ji Yeon (Im Se Mi) says it should be. Bon feeling guilty for having lied to Ae Rin says a lot about the kind of person he is, and also, how he takes their connection to heart. Bon pretending that he’d dive-tackled Ae Rin to the ground to help her avoid getting stung by a bee is too ridiculous. How does he manage to still be a good spy, while being a good sitter?Į11-12. Him getting roped into the KIS is cute too. Bon visiting the various apartment units on the pretext of entertaining the kids, and then surreptitiously recovering the sticker-bugs, was cute. My heart just can’t help but go out to him.Į5-6.
He’s been living on sliced bread for the longest time (how does he even do that?), and this taste of home must feel like a balm for his starved soul. This hour, that little pause he takes, after his first bite of Ae Rin’s food, says so much. It’s par for the course, that Bon finds Ae Rin suspicious and therefore volunteers to be her sitter, so that he can investigate her orbit more closely – and then gets hit in the heart with all the feels, when he’s surrounded by kids and fed home-cooked food for the first time in yonks.
