Everything is great, but i feel like wanting more and more every second, like wanting the sory to move forward a bit faster. However I dont want to miss the small details however, now that he is gonna stay with her~~ Looking forward to it.The SML syndrome is going to be extremely strong as far as it seems.

I cringed at Sena's reaction towards Raik's relationship with Hyejoo, but we should give her the benefit of the doubt. It's important to remember that she fell in love with Raik way before he debuted. I'm glad she didn't demand anything from him and didn't let her feelings hamper her job. It was satisfying to see her debating her bully and remain unaffected when he tried to get on her nerves. She has good chemistry with the prosecutor, but it's too bad that he was her bully. I can't see them being together, and frankly, there shouldn't be an ounce of romance between them.

Everyone is sus. I like how the show is trying to call out the Entertainment industry and fan behaviors. I like how Chung Jae called out Se Na for acting like Ra Ik had never dated or been with someone at his age.

Episode 4 is another gut punch, leaning hard into the reminder that idols are, first and foremost, human — with very real feelings and very real consequences. It explores both sides of the idol–fan dynamic, including its darker edges, and it doesn’t shy away from how damaging that closeness can become.Maeng Se-na’s quiet longing stood out to me here. Her wish to return to a time when she could admire Ra-ik from afar — instead of being so close yet completely untouchable — was heartbreaking. We also get more insight into her relationship with Park Chung Jae. It’s still unclear whether his feelings are romantic, but there’s no denying the depth of their connection.The suspect board shifts again. We might be one suspect down… or maybe not. The ex-girlfriend points the finger at Choi Jae Hui, who was present at the dorm yet claims he was at the hospital. At the same time, the shady dealings involving the CEO and the ex-girlfriend’s father are becoming harder to ignore. Someone powerful is clearly pulling strings — it’s just not yet clear who.There’s also a lighter moment with Ra-ik’s jealousy over what he believes is happening between Maeng Se-na and Kwak Byeong Gyun, which adds a touch of humanity amidst the tension. But any sense of relief is short-lived, as the episode closes with a tampered car — a chilling reminder that someone wants one, or possibly both of them, dead.At this point, it feels less like a crime of passion and more like a calculated move by someone with enough power to make people disappear quietly.

bruh stop normalizing fans being mad over an artist dating life. like ew im starting to hate the fl ngl, not only for this but also how she treats the second lead (her neighbor). this drama could have been better if not for the character writting of the female lead, the plot is pretty promising, the other characters are cool, but the fl is just...
