by Unit
It’s time to say goodbye to our brew grasp and beer saleswoman. However earlier than they get to the ultimate web page of their story, they have to take care of sabotage towards their beer, repair some relationship issues, and take necessary choices that may influence their careers and future.
EPISODES 11-12
Our last week resumes with Min-joo’s insistence on dumping the primary batch of Collectively beer. Apparently, there’s been a slight change in its style — which isn’t a defect, so to talk. However Mr. Brewmaster is the definition of perfection, and he expects nothing much less from his beer. He’s resolved to get again the unique style if Yong-joo extends the launch deadline, however Yong-joo argues that Jisang’s credibility with their wholesalers is at stake in the event that they don’t meet up with the deadline. To not point out the 5 million {dollars} the corporate would lose in the event that they dump the already produced beer.
Though Yong-joo’s expertise as a saleswoman would have her push forward with the launch, she’s held again by ideas in regards to the work the TF staff put into Collectively. She makes an attempt to steer the advertising director to present Min-joo time to right the style, however he refuses. Yong-joo reminds the director {that a} beer that tastes unsuitable gained’t final lengthy available in the market, however the director replies that the shoppers gained’t know the distinction between the unique style and the brand new style as a result of they haven’t tasted any of it but. It’s the corporate’s credibility vs. the TF staff’s integrity, and sadly, credibility wins.
Collectively beer hits the market per the advertising director’s orders, however ain’t no person joo-bilating about this launch. Because the empath within the relationship, Min-joo caters to all of Yong-joo’s emotions, however since she will be able to’t learn him, she doesn’t know the way he really feels in regards to the scenario. Min-joo, on his half, understands that Yong-joo’s palms are tied at work and he doesn’t wish to develop into one other burden to her. So quite than vent to — and at — one another, they select avoidance. “Why is the whole lot so sophisticated?” They individually marvel, and possibly they need to go ask the author.
Min-joo borrows a leaf out of Yong-joo’s “I’m superb” ebook when she finally confronts him for hiding his emotions from her. “Am I to remain ignorant on a regular basis?” she asks, and he replies that he is aware of how painful it’s to really feel one other particular person’s feelings. He doesn’t wish to inform her how he feels as a result of he gained’t have the ability to bear it if he sees that his feelings make her really feel ache or unhappiness. Saint Min-joo selecting to bear the burden alone doesn’t sit proper with Yong-joo, however she doesn’t wish to get into an emotional struggle with him. So, she requires a truce for them to type out their feelings.
Fortunately, JooJoo’s angst period ends as shortly because it started. Min-joo opens as much as Yong-joo about his likes and dislikes, and they comply with modify to one another’s tastes within the relationship quite than him catering to her preferences on a regular basis.
Talking of style, Min-joo will get it proper with Collectively’s second batch, however the TF staff’s pleasure is minimize brief when an article is launched in regards to the beer’s inconsistent style and high quality points. That is the planning director’s handwork, and I can’t consider he’s in cahoots with the competitors! This man doesn’t thoughts sabotaging the whole firm in his solo ego battle towards the advertising staff. Tsk.
The TF staff can scent the planning director’s conspiracy from afar, and so they coax the reality out of his minion. Ah-reum finds the proof they want on his laptop computer, and she or he exposes his scheming ass. The director is pressured to resign, and we’re pressured to hearken to his self-righteous monologue and go over his journey to villainy. However no person cares about this weasel, Present.
Jisang begins injury management and all of that PR stuff to win again the belief of the general public. Afterwards, they win over the wholesalers and relaunch Collectively beer to nice success. Profitable gross sales means the Busan department is getting revived, however the query is: will Yong-joo return to Busan? The advertising director doesn’t wish to launch his staff’s ace, however her staff chief in Busan insists that it must be her choice. Workforce Chief tells Yong-joo that he employed her as a result of he might see her desperation — and in a approach, he used her as a result of he additionally wanted somebody actually determined to get the job completed. Now he encourages her to discover a new path. Not out of desperation, however one thing that makes her coronary heart sing.
Yong-joo is slightly hesitant about her choice, and Min-joo assures her that it’s regular to really feel that approach as a result of up till now she has by no means actually confronted herself or her true wants. He additionally guarantees to stay by her regardless of the end result of her choice. Finally, Yong-joo palms in her resignation at work stating that she seems like herself solely when she’s working. “Exterior of labor, I actually don’t know who I’m. So, I wish to discover myself.” That is fairly cliché, however it’s additionally true to the Chae Yong-joo we’ve got come to know, and I’m comfortable for her.
We’re now on the ultimate lap of our present, and it’s time to verify in with our toast couple. Chan-hwi returns to his household home with Ah-reum in tow, and it’s his first time since he left house. The door code is similar, his room is untouched, and although his mother and father or siblings aren’t house, it’s apparent that they’ve been ready for his return. Chan-hwi proposes to Ah-reum — or quite, she proposes, as a result of she’s the one who purchased her personal ring. Lool. Chan-hwi additionally reveals that he modified his title to Chan-hwi after he was discharged from the army. He hoped the title change would make him really feel reborn, and now solely his household remembers his previous title (Chan-ran). “You’re now household, you need to know,” he tells Ah-reum. Aww.
To be trustworthy, I’d have most well-liked to see Ah-reum’s interplay with Chan-hwi’s pretty household quite than Chan-hwi’s meet and greet with Ah-reum’s mother and father. However we don’t all the time get what we wish — besides you’re the toast couple who lastly get Ah-reum’s mother and father’ approval to get married. Ah-reum additionally decides to not resign from work after marriage like she deliberate to do in the beginning of the present. As an alternative, she has her sights set on changing into the youngest and first feminine director at Jisang. You go, woman!
As for the remainder of the TF staff, Beom returns to the Busan department and will get a promotion. Gen Z now has a hoobae that places him by the whole lot he as soon as put the TF staff by. “Younger folks nowadays may be fairly cussed,” he complains, and I can’t lie, that is the total circle second I liked essentially the most. Heh. Yong-joo opens a bottle store that focuses on promoting beers from small breweries, and Min-joo is starting to work together with extra folks exterior these in his circle. JooJoo’s relationship is as strong as ever, and everyone seems to be comfortable and content material with the state of their lives at current. The tip.
After eliminating my Enterprise Proposal-like expectations from this present, it ended up being a fairly respectable watch. The plot wasn’t sophisticated, the conflicts had fast resolutions, and the characters had been majorly candy and simple to root for. I loved the development of JooJoo’s romance, however extra importantly, I appreciated their therapeutic journey as people. The solitary brew grasp got here out of his shell and discovered to specific himself higher, and the one-man-army saleswoman discovered to depend on others and develop into extra attuned together with her feelings. If Brewing Love got down to encourage its viewers to stay their greatest lives doing the issues they actually wish to do, I’d say it achieved its purpose.
“Yong-joo, in my title. Min-joo, in his title. And for you, stay your life in your title. To the gorgeous and vibrant us. Cheers!”
