These episodes were tough to summarize. The subs for 17 & 18 made it hard to follow along and I didn't like how things were playing out. I didn't like these episodes as much as previous weeks but there were some nice moments. I liked Hae Kyung confessing his feelings for Do Hee and asking her to have dinner with him. I actually thought that's kinda how things might go when they finally learned about each other. That he would introduce himself as Hae Kyung and ask her to eat with him. I liked Hae Kyung and Do Hee walking together and Hae Kyung remarking that he felt like a teenager again. I liked Hae Kyung and Do Hee watching Ah Young and homeless doctor from the convenience store. It was like they were watching a Kdrama scene right in front of them. I liked Hae Kyung cooking a meal for Do Hee and their talk. In general, when it's the just the 2 of them eating and talking, the scenes are good.
Jae Hyuk and No Eul are taking turns being insufferable. I wish they hadn't made Jae Hyuk a dangerous creep. Because whenever he appears on the screen now, I want him gone asap. I can't shake the feeling that they want viewers to sympathize with him. Or maybe I feel that way because characters like him in other series have sometimes been made out to be simply misunderstood. I was a bit more sympathetic towards No Eul until this week. Now I want her out of the picture as much as Jae Hyuk. I don't get how outing her past relationship with Hae Kyung helps No Eul's cause. I understand this is a tv series and it's just an excuse to have them all in the same room but their show should have been scrapped from the start. That was all a big yikes to me. While I like that 2NBox is shown producing shows that are popular online with Koreans like ASMR and Mukbangs, attempting to put a comedy spin on them doesn't make sense. I understand that this is a romantic comedy with some silliness at times but stuff like ASMR isn't done for comedic purposes. I didn't like Ah Young and the 2NBox crew reveling in the success of Have My Heart when they clearly know it affects people directly involved. Honestly, if Dinner Mate wasn't already so far along and I wasn't watching it with others, I would have given serious consideration to dropping it. 3 more weeks left.
