Oh wow so a podcast recap? Awesome! Combines two of the best things! XD

thank you fr d podcast..

and one more, i love you LEE KI WOOOO!

Thanks for the podcast and recaps.

Ha i think i might watch this show based on your screencaps alone. Wait, so does that mean So-min doesn't have an actual loveline anymore? Off to listen..

the so-min & ki-woo loveline was my favorite!! :(
thanks for the podcast!! going to listen now :)

So annoyed that the Somin/Kiwoo loveline got dropped -_-

Wow... I think like every 2 mins I would pause it and say words like "Exactly!" and "Yes! You get me..."

Thank you!

pretty miffed about the dropped loveline. grr. the love triangle is sooo boring.

Siwan is only a year older then So min. He was born in 88 and Jung So Min was born in 89. It is crazy though he Looks so young. I seriously thought he was only like 20 ish not 25. I don't know how I feel about Siwan and So Min ending up together. I really loved the Ki Woo and So Min story line.

I stopped watching once it became clear that Soo Hyun/Ki Woo were endgame. Also miffed that there's no love line for my poor Ryu Jin :-(

BTW, does anyone know how old Ki Woo and Soo Hyun are suppoesd to be in the drama?

Not a sitcom fan but I kept meaning to watch Standby. I just never got to it...But now if the So-min loveline is dropped, I don't think I'm going to be nearly as interested.

BUT I started another sitcom last week called I Live in Cheongdam-dong (청담동 살아요) and I LOVE IT. It just wrapped this week and only about 8 episodes are subbed but I highly recommend it~

JB & GF - Thanks for the podcast!

I hate it when lovelines get dropped! It always happens in sitcoms. In High Kick 1 there's the teacher and Jung Ill Woo, Hick Kick 2 Ji Hoon and Se kyung line ( though I didn't mind since I like him with Jung Eum better), More Charming by the day with Ba Ni and Kyu Han, and All my love with Jo Kwon and Yoo Seung Ah. >.>

LEDApple yay!

I dislike how Standby's turning out *sigh*

Well, I've been patiently waiting for subs for this one, but since I now know that So Min and Ki Woo pairing isn't going to happen I'm not too keen to watch this for a 100 episodes. I guess that's good, now I don't have to curse when there's no subs. Sad though, they would've been perfect. Wah.

Thanks for the podcast! Been wanting to watch this but I can't find subs for it, anyone know where I can watch it with eng subs? Thank you!

Wow... I didn't realised that there was such a plot change. I was gonna marathon it when it ended especially since I liked the So Min and Ki Woo pairing... I don't think I'll bother now.

I really was looking forward to Standby - but two things killed it for sure for me - Jung So Min's role getting slashed and the fact that the subbing is beyond super slow.
:(

Was Go Kyung-pyo on SNL-Korea? I'm trying to place where I've seen him before and all I'm coming up with is the guy that introduced himself as Siwon, and later stripped himself of all his "Made in China" clothing, in the season two finale Super Junior episode.

One of the main reasons I was still planning to watch this show was because of the Ki-woo/So-min love line, but since that's gone down the drain, so does my planning to watch it.

Oh well. That's one less drama to watch.

Download link for the podcast isn't working for me. Is it working for anyone else?

Huh. Am I the only one who really hated the Ki-Woo/So-Min loveline? For some reason, the idea of this couple really bothered me. Maybe it was that I find So-Min pretty annoying (as an actress and as the character). And she looked and acted like such a younger person in her interactions with Ki-Woo, so I was ick-ed out by them as a couple.

I dropped the series early on mainly because I didn't want to suffer through this loveline developing, and I only picked it back up recently because I found out that the couple will not be. I don't really like the Ki-Woo/Soo-Hyun/Suk-Jin triangle, either, but I find it easier to tune out those parts of the show.

I thought they dropped the Ki-Woo/So-Min loveline because others felt like me and thought the couple didn't match well together, so it's interesting to read all these comments in favor of the coupling.

I felt the same way when I began watching Standby. I decided early on that I would only watch up to like ep40 bc that's all the episodes I had at the time. Then when the storyline got a little better I decided to watch the rest of the episodes. It's not so bad to watch through all the episodes since I also just fast forward through the boring storylines that include the recent love triangle, the 'queen' announcer lady, and even some of Jin-haeng's parts as crazy as that sounds. I love Suk-jin's scenes but it's so sad that Jin-haeng is no longer the central figure in the show. I feel like they made him a little dumber, which sucks. I will finish the show since I've gotten this far, but I just hope the lovelines get better than what's going on at the moment.

The download link for the podcast doesn't work for me anymore :(

I can't find any English subbed episodes after #12 and I got addicted to the show...can anyone help me? I totally blame my addiction on this podcast

Unable to download the podcast. Please email me the link, JB! Pretty please?

Thank you so much for the podcast! It’s nice to hear some in-depth commentary on it for once (especially during this two week hiatus)… I don’t think Standby’s that popular overseas, so I’m always happy whenever I find some discussion online. I like when you two are all spazzy and laughing… it reminds me of me and my friends. LOL.

Things could be better with this show, but I guess I’m satisfied with the stage it is at now (And that’s mainly because I’m like, the 1 out of 4 people who actually ship Ki Woo-Soo Hyun… Aha). For some reason, I don’t expect everything to be smooth sailing though. That video tape of KW/SH’s night in the tent has /got/ to show up sometime. If it doesn’t, then I don’t know what those dramatic zooms/pans of the ground under Suk Jin’s passenger seat were for. I wonder if the writers will surprise us once again and have Soo Hyun end up with Suk Jin? Man, I don’t know. Really, anything can happen.

I am so happy to find this site. I loved the somin/kiwoo loveline and that is the only reason I watched. Currently I am suffering because I find kiwoo/soohyun/sukjin boring especially since they seem set on kiwoo/soohyun. I did not find somin's character annoying because I liked the fact that she did not like the perfect kiwoo in the beginning. Her character is suppose to be busy and set on getting a pasta restaurant so I think she was more accident prone and busy than annoying. I think the romance with siwan is a little forced. I hate what they have done to jinhaeng. I was hoping that with today's episode maybe they will focus on somin/kiwoo again. I agree that somin got sick but they did not progress the story much at all while she was gone so that should not have affected the storyline as much as it did. Especially since the older couple got most of the time during her break. I think the writers just thought we would like that better. I don't, I hate it.

Kiwoo/Soohyun have no passion to them whereas Kiwoo /Somin had good chemistry and Kiwoo was funny and charming. Now he has a habitual sour face and is boring as hell. They should not have announced the couples because this was one big disappointment. I wonder if they were trying to punish somin for getting sick by taking the storyline away and giving it to soohyun. I think a big mistake. Thanks for the podcast I will listen.

Her character is suppose to be busy and set on getting a pasta restaurant so I think she was more accident prone and busy than annoying. I think the romance with siwan is a little forced and better left as a friendship. I hate what they have done to jinhaeng.

The only reason I am watching is the hope that they will fix it.

Sigh. Sitcoms usually always have a great starting point and then slowly spiral downward.

Does anyone know where I can watch English subbed episodes of Standby? DramaCrazy only has the first 8 episodes. The wait has been excruciating. I've been meaning to follow this sitcom the day it premiered. It's been months. I don't plan on giving up though!

Fish memory? Age? Alcohol? I know it's a free world. But, I can't help being concerned. Let me make a plea. Please don't marinate (I beg your pardon. Strike through or delete button not working) drown your brain and liver with too much alcohol. Be healthy.
