K-Drama Reaction: Wok of Love | Episodes 35-36

I can’t deal with this nonsense anymore so let’s get right to it. Can’t wait for this agony to end.

Sae-woo’s mom Madame Jin (Lee Mi-sook) is really testing me when it comes to her entitled persona. She came to Poong’s (Junho) restaurant at peak lunch time and acted like a diva. She threatened Poong, who was already busy working his butt off at the kitchen, to let go of her daughter or else she would be the one to pull her out of the kitchen. Are we really stooping this low? Poong, of course, obliged and asked Sae-woo (Jung Ryeo-won) to leave with her mom. Does Poong really need to deal with this unnecessary situation as if he doesn’t have enough drama on his plate? He’s trying to lead a hotel kitchen and deal with staff drama, and his girlfriend’s parents isn’t really making him live peacefully. This is too much and it’s really tiring to watch.

Also, I appreciate how Seol-ja really treasures Sae-woo’s mom for everything she has done for her and Geok-jung. She knows how to honor a debt of gratitude. But sometimes, being grateful doesn’t mean they have to be their slaves forever. Even longtime corporate employees leave their companies if they need to. Why can’t they leave them, too? I can’t believe Sae-woo’s parents don’t let Seo-ja and Geok-jung work at the hotel even when they did everything to get their approval. It’s just unacceptable.

Is Chil-sung’s Mom done with treatments now? I hope she will come out healthy. I love how Chil-sung called her “Omma” at the hospital while trying his best not to sound sad. I really hope he and his Mom would have some quality time together now that Chil-sung has stopped being a loan shark and a gangster.

I love how the vet was so cool and straightforward with Chil-sung. It feels good to see someone admire Chil-sung and doesn’t hesitate to tell him that maybe they are fated if they meet again. Chil-sung has been going through a lot since the start of this show and I hope we get to see his genuine smile before this ends.

Going back to Poong and Sae-woo, this cliffhanger just annoyed the hell out of me. I kept on pausing the video to convince myself to continue on and endure everything. This odd couple is an eyesore. Sae-woo even asked for a breakup just because Poong won’t stand up to her Mom. Like girl, you can’t even stand firm against your parents. You can’t even tell them straight in the face that they need to stop terrorizing your boyfriend and stop them from deciding for your future.

Also, please stop all this nonsense, unnecessary drama and just show some bromance fan service!

And to make up for my long rant, here’s a Chil-sung gif for y’all.
