ACK! I was debating whether or not I should start a thread for this drama---glad you beat me to it, Skye!

This one was a pleasant surprise for me. Granted, I've only seen the first episode so far, but I really fell for the main character as well as the overall tone. Well, at least the tone that was established within that one episode. For me, it usually takes two episodes for a drama to grab my interest, at most four. That's usually the number of episodes it takes for the average drama to fully lay down the foundation of its plot. Romance Town, however, grabbed me almost immediately, and did an excellent job in my opinion of giving us a nice sketch of the characters and their relationships to each other all within the first 65 minutes.

This might all change after I've seen the second episode (which I'm just about to start), so I'm trying to restrain myself from gushing all over this post...

HAHAHAHA! That did come out a bit weird. But I didn't mean "gushing" as in "The geyser is gushing water", but "gushing" as in "She can't stop gushing over her new baby." Wah, English is such a frustrating language, even for native speakers! Or at least this supposedly native speaker. *hangs head in shame*

hmm after reading BaW i might start this.. but there are so many i am alrady watching.. i cant even finish the snow queen :( ...

I'm watching this... And I don't know if i like this... Because this doesn't give me the usual drama-feeling... But I'll continue watching... This'll be interesting. And I'm in love with ... that guy :D

I'm talking about the Ajusshi who gave the exact same pearl ring, except different sizes, to the three women in the house.

I'm really curious about that trio as well. It really hasn't been explained explicitly in the show yet; it was kind of presented as a given from the get-go. Hopefully the reason will come to light in later episodes---I'm sure there's an interesting back story in there!

Wow ep.5 coz of make up & different hairstyle & pretty dress make everyone can't recognize. The nanny housekeeper is living 2 different lives. Jaemi so!
|1. as a nanny with bangs & short hair. |2. as a single rich girl with a long hair. ===> nobody can recognize her.
Hahaha same as while i'm at hometown (boyish & sloppy), different when i'm at uptown girl (make up, dress up & 5 inches high heel), even my old school friends doubt whether to greet me or not (they might think they would greet the wrong person). :D
p.s: Jeong Kyeo Woon (young master) shoe size 305 (guessing), Kang Ji Hwan (according Lie to Me (drama)) shoe size 275

I saw Jeong Kyeo Woon's feet size, coz i have 5 male fam (Dad, 3 bros, 1 nephew) i knew their size feet by looking at their feet (i did buy their shoes) 42, 43, 45, 46½ - 47. The largest is my nephew's feet just similar to JKW's 46½ = 286 (mandopoint Korean shoe size). sorry previously 305 wrong conversion table. However it's guessing since i just can see by watching the drama kekeke :D :D :D so if i'm wrong please forgive me. T.T
