Nel Feb 01 2025 2:20 am Just finished the series. Need A Season 3. Really wish we would have gotten more resolution between Ji Yeon and Ji Gu. It was a big fight and she was extremely selfish. It would have been such a good character development for JY. Need more of Mr nice paper and JG. Pleaseeee

Loku Oct 18 2024 5:09 pm I need season 3 asap TT But I think, I like season 1 than season 2. The good thing in season 2 is Ji-Goo got much screentime <3

Sara Oct 12 2024 11:14 pm I prefer season 1. Tbh I loved season 1, it was funny but also touched serious topics, but the stories and characters felt natural and fresh. This 2nd season, I enjoyed it but what the hell with those couples. It was so funny seeing JY with 3 men, but I consider her character should have been more developed more than portraying her like an "easy girl" (I hate that term). I also hated SH with the man, a character like SH deserved a better man, not her being like the mother wtf. And what disgusted me the most was Mr. Nice paper character, I felt his scenes so boring and nonsense, I really felt rushed and unnatural their relationship with JG.

Idk, maybe I don't understand this series well haha, but SH and JG definitely deserved better men.

I had a great time watching the show tho.

varshu Jun 12 2023 2:17 am please there should be season three

Super fan Mar 20 2023 6:32 pm We need season 3 pleaseee

need to vent. spoiler ahead Feb 16 2023 8:16 am Ah showrunners, i'm disappointed. Is there no other way to show that Jiyeon has attachment issues beside by making her the ungrateful bitcch that shamelessly flirts her friend's potential men? Now, the reason she did that out of fear of losing her friends would just seems like a lousy excuse. No wonder people comments here are so misogynistic towards her because that's how yall framed her, "the easy girl". Yall should have executed it better when yall already show us that Jiyeon has lost many precious people in her life and has had no luck with family, and now yall framed her in such a ungraceful way, no wonder people would think about those losses as a mere justification for her assholy behavior towards Jigoo (and Sohee), when in fact, she needs help and really need to work on that attachment issues. But I'm grateful that Jiyeon's boss has conveyed what Jiyeon should have heard. If she's get away without anyone at least scolded her like that, yall really make Jiyeon deserves all the hate.

Even so, you guys that wrote those angry comments about Jiyeon, cool down a lil bit. Reading your comments, I thought Jiyeon's mistake was so fatal that you hated her that much. I'm not denying her mistake, but your comments really worrying, I thought their relationship was that shattered. To anyone having the same worries, don't worry. I assure you all quarrel settled well. In fact, that settlement are realistic and mature. Holding grudges requires a lot of energy, it's understandable they easily let Jiyeon back in. I know people like Sohee and Jigoo would do it for make their own heart at ease, not because they justify Jiyeon's mistake. And family and family-like friends usually not saying sorry verbally, but that doesn't mean they forget the mistakes that almost torn them. And the wrongdoer will also remember for the rest of their lives and those who are aware enough will not repeat it again.

Overall, it's all fun and took steps in exploring problems but didn't top the excellence of S1. If there's gonna be S3, i hope it'll redempt anything that lacking here.

Toni Feb 15 2023 3:27 am Absolutely freaking loved both seasons of this show. That’s what you call best friend goals. I sincerely hope this series continue for many more seasons. Breakdown for season one gave us the backstory of their friendship and how they comforted each other when they had a rough day at work or just a normal day, they would end the day with drinking and enjoying each others company. Loved seeing how the writers emphasized on their friendship and not just drinking buddies.. you’ll see this in season 2. Season 2 started off amazing with how tight net their friendship is that when one friend was sick the other 2 would suffer with her letting her know that she’s not alone. They all meant something to one another as described in ep 4 I believe and it’s so true.. we all need that one stop button keyword that would get us to stop acting like a fool when we get overly intoxicated and for these 3 women they are that for one another. Aside from seeing their friendship sort of unraveling toward the later episodes, it also shows how they picked from where they left off and for some people they tend to get stuck in the angry phase and never see each other again, but not for these 3.. they portrayed that no matter what arguments or fights they have they’ll get over it after remembering what they mean to one another. Please Let There Be A Season 3!!

Terry Feb 08 2023 10:33 pm I don't understand why they let JY back in. First, I couldn't be friends with her for 10 years. She is beyond aggravating and I wouldn't have lasted 20 minutes with her. Second, she is so arrogant. She isn't even the pretty one in the group, JG is. Yeah guys like her but that is because she presents herself as easy. But I don't see guys staying with her. She is always the one getting dumped because everything about her is fake and superficial. It is crazy that she thought she needed to ensure that their boyfriends didn't like her or was only with her friends to get to her. Right off the bat, she would flirt with her friends boyfriends and that shows jealousy. Just like she was jealous because she of JG's relationship. She is the type to say she is liberated but she is really just trying to do what she thinks she needs to do to get a guy to love her and then they don't. She doesn't understand that it is probably because she acts that way.

Terry Feb 08 2023 12:06 pm My only problem with both of the seasons of this series is all the smoking. Who still smokes cigarettes these days? It was like a walking advertisement for cigarettes. It was actually gross.

Zerocool Feb 06 2023 8:03 am Everyone played their role well except for Mr Nice Paper. I think he doesn't suit the role for this drama. Both season was super entertaining! I love drinking myself and I can see my own self when I get high / drunk. It will show your true colours which is hard to control!

Out of the 3, I love Jiyeon the most as her role was not the easiest to play. I do hope there will be a season 3 as the final part when they grow older with kids. It will be fun to see that happening!

MyKDramaticLife Jan 16 2023 2:10 am Will there be season 3 please? ?

Tch tch Jan 14 2023 1:51 pm A badly wrtten seson2 . Girls shouldnt have accepted jiyeon like this and the fact she didnt even feel the need to apologize. Pooe writing

Rony Jan 14 2023 6:31 am That movie is so good we need s3.

shanks Jan 14 2023 4:22 am great show, i love it as much as the first season. hoping for a third season if possible

Michel Froment Jan 12 2023 11:46 am I feel like JI-Yeon is pushing Ji-Gu's men away because she feels something for Ji-Gu. maybe I'm wrong - Ji-Gu is a bit masculine and had a student girl before who had a crush on her - Ji-gu was freaked out that he didn't hear from Ji-Heon?? ??

Future kdrama star Jan 11 2023 3:50 pm 2nd season is just as funny and touching like the first season. The leads are great actors.

I'm still on episode 6 but relate to An So-Hee and Kang Ji-Gu with their challenging Mothers. I agree with Kang Ji-Gu, if my daughter ever feels her lowest I'm going to uplift her not make it worse. I like that this drama addresses mother daughter relationships are hard. If the mother is narcissistic it's difficult.

I'm happy sexy Mr. Nice Paper is back.

Siwon is a hot man yes with and without the caveman beard lol! He is a top actor. I know he is wealthy so he don't have to accept any role but I wanna see him in an ensemble show like Penthouse.

ColdeFiction Jan 09 2023 8:38 pm What was that ending???? Like Wtf!!! Is season 3 on the work? That cliffhanger is agonizing me. I need to know what happened next. Gamdongnim, jebal I need the season 3!!!!

Meander Jan 08 2023 8:09 am Watching this episode i will say no good human deserves a manipulator like jiyeon. It was shocking after sabotaging her frnds dates with paper guy multiple times she would still chase her and confront her when it's her fault. She just deserves sseragi like herself not that nice photogropher nor lovely talkative guy. The fact an so hee would hide her bfs from jiyeon tells so much about her. And why is she jealous of jigoo's dates, she knew she cant control an so hee as she's smart so she opted diff target who always let her steal her men.

Me Jan 07 2023 7:22 pm Nah JY is totes in the wrong. If you fear that your friend would make the wrong choice in namjachingoo, you need to tell her. I can understand that she fears losing JG, but didn't she ultimately lose JG and SH anyway? Not to mention she looks like a nappunyeoja who broke up the trio. On a lighter note, SHJ was so much fun in this episode! I loved his energy! The male version of JY. I hope JY ends up with him instead of grumpy cat. Lord I dislike him, he's so rude to his sister. I'm, sure he has a story but since I don't know it yet I dislike him very much.

My thoughts Jan 07 2023 2:20 pm See i stand validated on jiyeon

lil Jan 06 2023 3:03 pm I just found out that there will be 12 episodes. thank goodness bc I was a bit sad with what happened in ep 10

littlepinky Jan 06 2023 2:06 pm credits first to the writer i waited for season the casts chemistry is perfect snd plot is fast pace not boring to see 3 sides of main cast. hoping for season3.,.

hosplay Jan 06 2023 12:52 pm I really hope that there is a season 3. what was that ending???

Nabi Jan 06 2023 11:48 am The ending is just not it. There's a season 3 right?

Paroxymal Dec 29 2022 9:29 am Imagine there are people out there who are not watching this show, really feel bad for them.

My thoughts Dec 17 2022 4:10 am Actor playing nicepaper is a miscast , someone else should have been there, infact the character isnt even needed. Also the scene where Ji goo lets high school students walk away the meal for free wasnt cool, every other korean drama is about school bullying then they show these thug like students stealing food money and her telling them she will pay for them and walks away is nothing but enabling the bullies. In korean shows one one hand severe school bullying is shown and they are showing heroes who protect victims then in other shows same bullies are protected and are called kids.

Secondly, the yoga girl's employer is pretentious but ji yeon's personality of being loud, not following instructions, talking informally is not even cool, no professional place accepts employees like such and in real life no such employees or people add any brightness and whatever to anyone's life.

I am liking the show but ji yeon's behavior at workplace is quite unpleasent.

Nuking Dec 14 2022 4:59 pm Waiting for Mr. NicePaper :)

Love trio Dec 09 2022 11:03 am Finally the girls officially comeback tonight !!!

Lov Mar 09 2022 10:19 pm As much as i want s2 i have a fear s2 wont be as funny. But if they can keep it upto past standard comedy then they can go to 5 or 6 or beyond that seasons

Bbonggman Feb 14 2022 4:30 pm Wahhh it was sooooooooo impressive!!!! Sooo exited for season 2!!

cutie pie Jan 31 2022 11:23 am can't wait, this drama is really light but full of warmth ?

Lia Josberg Jan 26 2022 7:41 am Please have Yoon Shi-yoon as a stable cast in Season. I would like to see more of Ji-goo's love line with Mr. Nice Paper.

Jetelee Jan 07 2022 1:09 am I've watched Drink Now season 1, the ending is really impressive. how is season 2 hmm curious?

Sita Jan 05 2022 2:58 am It would just be pure stupidity if they didn't do Season 2 after the huge success of season 1 especially in South Korea. I think more actors/actresses would love to make cameo appearances for season 2 so I'm really looking forward to this!

Aurora Dec 25 2021 8:47 pm Happy, totally happy with this ??

Jessel Dec 21 2021 7:59 am Is this real?! Waaaaaaaah! I'm looking forward to this! ?❤️

wntrina Dec 20 2021 4:23 am yesss omg my beloved girlsss!!! I love these three women chemistry so much their friendship is so fun to watch and admirable

Soleil Dec 15 2021 2:11 pm Woah woah season 2?!
