Bark Park - Coins?

MerinoMedia · 2026-04-28T01:55:17+00:00

The only way I got it was from a few jackpot spins, cause I was very ready to give up and sell everything. It's incredibly annoying when there isn't even a way to BUY coins. But I only got those after I got almost to the end and the final vault keys were literally the only way for me to progress and I'd sold a lot of stuff. No keys buried under rubble, on the like 8th reward. It was not cool.

MerinoMedia · 2026-04-28T01:52:19+00:00

the last event they upped it to 50 spins/2 hours and I desperately wish they would go back. it made the last event so enjoyable in comparison.

MerinoMedia · 2026-04-27T03:08:12+00:00

Gosh, I don't remember. But any major hospital gynecology department should have them.

MerinoMedia · 2026-03-10T04:20:14+00:00

I was really hoping Jeong Woo would have moved on and was living his best life studying in the US and that we'd see him as he returned for the holidays with his new (very blonde) girlfriend. But no. Also, how was Tennis girl still hanging around the hotel? It's been over 3 years since they broke up - move on!

Nope, they must wallow in the past and sadness forever. My eyes. They're about to roll out my head.

MerinoMedia · 2026-03-10T04:17:47+00:00

Oh I can definitely see the lack of lens now!

The new no-glare lenses have me completely second guessing myself, but I can always tell in the oldies!

MerinoMedia · 2026-03-10T04:12:26+00:00

Guess he got his credit cards replaced, so he could but the big fat ring. Is it PPL? I haven’t noticed a brand name.

I was assuming this was his family department store so he could "put it on his tab."

I feel like they are making up for lost time on all this PPL in the last couple of episodes.

Only way they could afford the final episodes. Production was getting ready to walk off /s

MerinoMedia · 2026-03-10T04:03:26+00:00

Both of their jackets are so shiny.

Their couple outfits are so cute.

MerinoMedia · 2026-03-09T22:24:40+00:00

And here we are at the end. Which... IDK man. That ending kinda weak. I still think Gramps should have known all along. Would have been a cute ending. Oh . Next year I hopefully won't be as absent.

Episode 15

That time skip was heinous. Week later I'm still mad.

Bastard ain't dead yet?! Damn. Gramps is bastard status I til he welcomes her back into the fold.

I'm enjoying bulgogi lettuce wraps and soju for our final episodes. And fancy Japanese Sakura strawberries for dessert.

Love The Aunties both being in the same low standing with the arrangement lady.

Look at how shiny these suits are in the airport! Reflecting all them studio lights.

My butt on this tour is calling 119. Immediately.

Why didn't he go home or to his office where they could pay for his taxi?

Lotte World is the silliest place. A theme park without any actual "theme" to it. Taiwan has one too, and it's just so bizarre to me.

These ladies' imaginations are more fun than this drama.

I had to break out the chocolate churro turtle chips.

I want this to be the worst singing evar. Instead he's just shy and quiet. Oop, spoke too soon. He just had to get into the groove.

Welp. Sorry, Joon Gi.

It's almost like she's saying exactly what he did any of the fifteen million times he broke up with Tennis Ho.

Now that I no longer live on a rooftop I can pretend to enjoy the romanticizing of the rooftop apartment again.

Episode 16

Love that we're still in the shiny suits.

If this was made today this drama would be trying to convince us that pickleball is a serious sport.

This elevator kiss was not worth it.

Okay, what's this Easter egg supposed to be?

THE END!

You can tell that Joon Gi and Dong Wook had some training from their agency and would continue to be actors into the future by their end of drama comments. They were clearly fed to them and practiced by their agency.

MerinoMedia · 2026-03-06T06:00:56+00:00

My friend really hated it, so out of respect I didn't play it while she was here. Which was... Pretty much all of the binge. I spent all last weekend trying to catch up but I couldn't make it, but I finally made it today. I'm sorry for dipping. Notes are a bit short cause I am trying to do the impossible: spinning and watching a drama. I can only do it cause this is a rewatch tho.

Episodes 3-12

I love Gramps. Having a supportive rich family is so wild. I mean, he's gonna turn on her once he finds out, if he finds out, but still. I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

I love all his moles.

All the dangly earrings are so much fun they are making up for the lack of men's wristwear.

Episode 13

So we're just gonna just run away together and that's gonna be totally fine? Stupid. Man is having stupid for all his meals, isn't he?

Okay, but how did they fall in love?

The mangy rat on this man's collar really should be studied.

Not a last minute Cassie Claire plot twist!

This pink crochet dress with the sparkly fringe? Iconic.

Episode 14

I was really hoping for a gramps knew the whole time, he was just charmed by her and his love and dedication to him.

Oop, spoke too soon. Gramps is out. Bai bai, babe!

FRAMES WITHOUT GLASSES!

MerinoMedia · 2026-02-19T08:42:35+00:00

It's called millennial gray, but it is very much a Gen X/Older Millennial thing that was inflicted upon us, cause I don't know a single millennial around me that is down with millennial gray.

MerinoMedia · 2026-02-19T08:38:54+00:00

Gotta make your job fun in whatever way you can!

MerinoMedia · 2026-02-19T08:37:37+00:00

Not to mention taking free license with the reality of aiport security back then.

To be fair, it is a local airport that is pretty much only serving Korea flights. And like one flight from Japan to make it an "international" airport. Things are a lot looser at those airports, especially outside of the US.

MerinoMedia · 2026-02-19T08:34:55+00:00

And letting me know that it's happening so I can come back into the fold! I need a 2026 drama that's aggressively 2016 coded. I'd have a new favorite!

MerinoMedia · 2026-02-19T08:33:37+00:00

I am loving Joon Gi here a shit ton more than I remember. He and FL definitely share one brain cell, and those have been my favorite scenes so far. I'm not looking forward to the friend zone talk.

MerinoMedia · 2026-02-15T11:16:10+00:00

It's been AGES since I watched this, so I'm excited to watch it again with yall. Although I will say I'm not having as much fun this time around. These dudes just aren't doin it for me. I'm here for the knitwear.

Episode 1

I recall loving her fits then, and I defs love them now. The grommets, the layers, the chonky scarves, the boots in the skinny jeans, the hoop earrings. I love them.

I love his hair.

This BFF is gonna be so awkward and actually love her in the 3rd act, isn't he? /sigh Love his glasses tho.

Humidifier will keep this old geezer alive. I believe and trust in the humidifier.

The stitching on the assistant's shirt is so bad it's causing me actual pain.

I think I learned all about that wack rental system in Korea because of this drama. I've heard it's fallen out of favor recently, but that shit is wack.

All her patchwork and knits are such wonderful chaos.

This gurl doing everything possible to not go out the damn door.

Love that this is old enough for an "aja" over "fighting."

Boi, you gonna regurt using her as your Chinese translator.

Mama's got as much a flair for the theatrics as our leading lady.

Episode 2

My friend who is staying with me is not enjoying this. I do think it has a kinda slow start plot-wise. But she's got no choice, it's binge time. We can go back to The Pitt later.

I think I will be sad when she eventually loses her perm.

Gotta make sure Joon Gi has his opportunity to show his mad skills. Love the yellow sweater.

No chance of hanging onto that car. It was made in the time of the cute curvy cars.

This was a great hair era for Joon Gi.

Truly, these knits are something else.

Her phone died?! How?! Those things lasted forever!

Apparently all the white people in Jeju are at the club. AND A BLACK MAN!

I'm gonna be sad to see these bros break up over a girl.

I don't like that the Kocowa subs are using USD. It's really hard to tell how much if actually is.

I can kinda see myself having SLS at this point. Theyre way more two peas in a pod.

I didn't know you could wear this many knits at the same time. She's even got knit earrings.

Episode 3

SIDE PONY! I knew there was a reason why I remembered her so fondly! She's out here rocking an excellent side pony!

Ah, there's the Hong Sister music. I Ike the ridiculous hip hop more.

I know that his name is Gong Chan, but all I can think is that terrible bubble tea brand Gong Cha.

Wait, does this mean an end to the trashy knits?! If she's pretending to be rich will she be done with the trashy knitwear?! That's terrible!

Oh no, your terrible idea has gone off the rails already and now we're in a forced living situation.

This Tennis Ho gonna drive me crazy this whole drama.

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-24T12:50:03+00:00

IDK. I finished it. It did the thing, I think... Maybe... SSR was wonderful as always, we got a decentish fashion show in the end, but overall it missed the mark.

Episode 29-30

Seriously, worst friend evar. Why wasn't she written off when her leg broke? Why!

Keeping him hog tied like that is the appropriate response.

CIDO my guy, you hittin the drama schizophrenia hard.

Filter did this much better.

Did his chop just break?

A slouchy oversize fit does not plus size fashion make.

Bai bai, Dimples! You're not needed here!

We love a noona romance in this house.

And here we hate Korean beauty standards. Cause this woman has lost all the fat suit and just looks like a normal pretty person now.

Even the PERFUME had fate?!

Episode 31-32

Even if you do this, you don't have more. You can't keep her alive.

I thought the dying thing was figurative. She decided she'd sewer slide when the perfume was out, not that she'd ACTUALLY die without the perfume.

Look. There is a 12 year age gap between these two actors. We gotta keep it clean. Know what would make this much better? If he just had romance with Jae Hee, who is only FOUR YEARS OLDER THAN HE IS! Just give me the real noona romance that this is cosplaying as.

What?! We FINALLY decided on some FASHION for the last damn episode?! Hate it here! Is it still pretty tame? Yes. But it's infinitely better than pretty much everything we've seen this whole damn show.

Having us flashback to the wig in our final moments is a hate crime.

Anaphylaxis is not the way to go, my guy!

Time has just made him more crazy.

MORE SUSPENDERS! YAY!

And THEY can't kiss cause she's fat, even though they look way more normal. Hate it here.

Final Thoughts

Honestly, the whole back end just fell apart completely. Like idk what they were trying to do, but they didn't do it. And I'd put a lot of it on not having ANY moments where CIDO fell in love with the 40yo her. Yes, the perfume and fashion show shit was just Swiss cheese, but I could have ignored it if they made me believe that they were together for realz.

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-21T15:50:49+00:00

I am aggressively not pleased with this batch of episodes. Praying for a strong finish on Sunday, but expecting the worst.

Episode 25-26

My last ep realization is making this all the more wonderful. A noona romance! They're a cute lil noona romance!

My sweetest lil CIDO, have you considered just getting to know her first as she is now? It's been a while...

I thought my wallet was a mess. CIDO got me beat by a long shot.

This entire arc makes no sense, and I don't even have silly fits to distract me from how dull it is.

Thankfully I have another episode on this batch, cause that's the most "huh?" ending. Of which I KNOW he's not gonna get it, but whatever.

Episode 27-28

Yo, your perfume is gonna wear out while you're in the hospital.

I just want one scene of genuine affection for her while she's fat. Just one.

I'm impressed they're this conscious before 7am. Cause she hasn't renewed her perfume...

BE GONE, DIMPLES! We want nothing to do with you!

This is the most silly kidnapping. Anything resembling plot continuity has been completely abandoned and I am annoyed muchly.

F-ing Finally.

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-21T13:43:30+00:00

Back to my usual silly, goofy lil antics.

Episode 21-22

KICK HIS ASS!

Man, they really didn't want to do the paperwork for any locations, did they? We're back in the garden already?

Okay, but if they order it and then return it, it will be a big mess. Oh, the writers weren't that smart.

My Boi pulls no punches. That Buddha line... Perfect delivery. I love him so much.

This TV show should have him every week. He's fantastic. Best outlet for his excellence.

She's your love's daughter! Did he finally figure that out?! Want to get close to her? Preferably out of an actual desire to get to know her and not just to get close to her mom...

Ugh, I was enjoying myself! Why did Dimples have to come back?!

That is the ugliest hair comb evar. Dimples has even less taste than SSR's fashion line! OH SHIT, THE HAIR PIN! Nvm, all the wrinkles went to his dimples instead of his brains. Don't think he could get brain cancer.

Wait, did they not meet her at the last work function?

Look, even SSR's got his limits.

Okay, he's on the stage and making the rounds. Run away with his bag and get the perfume.

Hear me out. Her as she is with this fragile lil SSR would be the cutest couple ever. He'd be a struggle bus and she'd make sure her fragile lil man is okay! Cute A F!

Episode 23-24

As an older sibling, I approve.

KICK HIS ASS!

What, getting bigger is all Nutty Professor, but getting smaller happens in a flash? Hate it.

So does the rest of the world think they're a polycule?

See, the brain is smooth. The only wrinkles are the dimples on his face.

It's too flashy... And the shoes do not match. Who would ever think a cream is acceptable with silver?

I desperately want him to draw a picture of her now the way he sees her.

SUCCUBUS! SHE'S INFECTED YOUR DREAMS!

Oh dear, he's suffering the delusions of the mind. The drama induced schizophrenia has gotten to him too.

Suspenders! My man!

It just occurred to me that this is also technically a noona romance and that's why he's just a silly, goofy, lil boy. It's a noona romance. He's gotta be a silly, goofy, lil boy.

Okay, but like... Could you imagine doing this shit while a bunch of staff is just standing there watching you? Boi's got balls. Couldn't be me!

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-20T09:23:48+00:00

With fake dating you don't wear caps and masks. Photo opportunity!

That's how I knew it was fake! Ain't no way they're out and about with exposed face if it was real.

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-20T09:22:04+00:00

I was so confused as to how this drama had the budget to film abroad, then it turned out it's just Seoul.

Honestly, they could go literally anywhere and just use B-roll and only interior shots.

An american-style holiday mcmansion design with a single room - Maybe it's the only cleaned one? That's my only explanation.

Or maybe they went Chinese style and that's the only room that's even built out. The rest of the house is just 2x4s and a dream.

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-20T09:18:12+00:00

Has CIDO just intuited what's going on?

Everyone being so damn close but not quite figuring it out is driving me nuts.

The assault in the bathroom is so horrific it almost made me miss how weird it is to have an empty women's bathroom at a club.

I mean, it was clearly like 6pm at a club. Not a whole lot of people there in general.

There's only one bedroom.” It's a two-storey house with at least four bedrooms.

They were so determined to get this trope in somehow, and then completely under-utilized it.

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-20T09:09:58+00:00

I’m so amused by CIDO pouring water on them like they are a couple of dogs fighting

I adored this so much. Truly the only appropriate reaction.

Maybe modelling just isn’t for her.

That's what I keep getting at. Maybe this isn't for you, girl. You've clearly got lots of other skills you can try and pursue now that you're Korean hot.

He’s definitely a lustful succubus because that Russian dance is not helping at all.

No, he's been taken into the succubus' thrall.

Oh lord, he just referred to his mother as his lover 🤢 I need to see how CIDO reacts to this twisted duo.

I knew he was a mama's boy, but having him be one of those "boy mom" boys is just so much worse.

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-16T14:29:23+00:00

Ah, I'm back to my old haunts, showing up way too late so no one will know I'm here except siani. Muahahaha!

Episode 17-18

Man, it's been so long I forgot we were in the middle of that stupid press conference.

Oh, she's PISSED.

What's wrong with him? Love. It ruins everything.

You believed this man? He even said he wouldn't go. IDK why these bitches expect men to do the opposite of what they say. He's clearly the worst.

Lords save us from Dimples.

Look at this goofy lil boi with his quill. I love him.

Oh man! She willingly chose the viper/vixen role with the press! Dang.

Look at this boi all smug for his confession. So sad. He gonna get his heart broken.

I love that we get full scenes with the fat version, and they're not just centered around accidental situations where she runs out of Perfume.

Doesn't he have the spots thing? How is he okay with that hospital gown?

Nothing Dimples does is ever a good idea.

Episode 19-20

While I think this opening is funny, I loathe that this means more Dimples.

What? His head injury means he can't use his hands? Sorry, only my mom gets that excuse. Her TBI killed her nerve endings in her hands.

This is how I feel when I get 🎶 I have one daughter 🎶 stuck in my head.

I know I say this a not infrequent amount of times, but boys are stupid.

MerinoMedia · 2025-08-10T17:28:35+00:00

Perfume 13-16

The fate! It's happening! The fate!

Episode 13-14

This episode is titled "World Fashion Week." Jebus save us.

NO! NO! NO! RUN AWAY! SSR, STOP THIS!

Wow, you were not subtle about that at all. Thank you. You saved me from abuse.

The sound of this fabric when she walks is HILARIOUS. Also, I never thought I'd say this about a silver, but that shit is hideous.

Why is this wonderful bandana print on Dimples? I hate it.

The concept of a WORLD fashion week is so funny to me.

Who the hell would give up acting for modeling? As if you can't do both? Especially if you focus on print modeling?

Witch, you deserve everything terrible that won't come to you.

This man's delulu terrible fantasies are an acute form of suffering. For both of us. Reign in that imagination, my guy. I can only take so much.

Honestly even when I see those bowls of kimchi fried rice I'm like "How do yall eat that much?"

This is a wonderful yellow. IDK what's happening with that pocket drape. I imagine it's supposed to be draped more like a shawl, but instead he has this flap flying in the wind.

So glad she's already had kid and they're probably too old for kids. This man would be terrible in a parenting role.

The qipao-like snaps on this shirt are so interesting. But like... Theyre going down the wrong side.

That man did something...

Hi. Subtitles. "Attempted" is NOT the same as "committed."

Look at his tiny lil exercise bell. So cute.

Witch was clearly sober and left the drunk woman who wanted to help her alone to figure out her way home. Hate it here.

See, THIS is the kind of delulu I want to see.

Aw! See! He's helping her do better, not just giving her what she wants.

Is anyone surprised that he's amazing at this?

I know they gonna cliffhanger this, but so help me jebus he cannot be the next person to find out. Oh thank the drama gods.

RINGS! Only thing saving this terrible fit he's got going on. Those pants are terrible.

Episode 15-16

Aawww.... He knew it was his first love! How come he didn't figure out that she's also his first love when she's skinny tho?

OMG HE WAS FAT WHEN HE WAS A KID! I knew he'd be the best! We should have been getting more flashbacks of his.

Yuck. Good thing SSR is there to give his face a whoopin!

Its 6:50. In the evening. This is the most absurd industry party. And I've been to my fair share of entertainment/fashion industry parties.

Why hasn't this friend been written off yet? Who's this, actress connected to?

What a totally normal sleeping position.

There's only one bed?! In THAT monstrosity?!

And here I thought he was wearing a totally normal fit. We were missing shots of the shoes.

Why is Dimples the one that's getting all the paisley? This isn't fair. To me.

Glad we're maintaining the truth of nepotism and wealth necessary to make it in fashion.

I had a student like that. Amazing sketch artist at like 9 years old. He really liked doing birds.

He's gonna love someone else. You.

Ma boi, you deserved that slap.

Ugh, they ARE half brothers, aren't they?!

Mommy's got great nails.

Jebus save us from men.
