I just finished it, loved it

Yes I am, one of my favourite series right now.

He was only 21 years old when Payback was filmed.

I haven’t read the novel and this is my theory for episode 10 based on the trailer.

In the hospital scene next week, Jay wasn’t only hurting because Sun was injured and almost lost his life. The deepest pain came from knowing that Sun didn’t want to keep living.

Episode 8 revealed that when Sun acted out the script about jumping from the building to end his life, it reflected the same pain Jay understood all too well. It mirrored the same thoughts and emotions Sun carried when he saved Sky.

Sun had already lost his mother. He had lost his brother. He spent years carrying the burden of his debts and fighting just to survive. He worked hard, kept everything locked inside, never allowing himself to truly smile and never giving himself permission to cry.

Sometimes, after losing so much, disappearing can feel easier than staying and risking more pain.

But when Sun saved Sky, he wasn’t just saving another person. He was saving a part of himself that had already given up. He saw someone who needed a reason to live, and through saving him, he slowly found a reason to keep living too.

Yes, especially in South Korea. It feels like almost every week there's news about an artist, actor, or singer taking their own life. It really makes you wonder if what they go through behind the scenes is anything like what's portrayed in these stories.

What’s with the airing schedule?

They released the first three episodes on the premiere date, then one episode a week for two weeks, followed by two episodes a week for another two weeks. Now they’re back to releasing just one episode a week.

Episode 9: 31 July
Episode 10: 7 August
Episode 11: 14 August
Episode 12: 21 August

Payback and Deep In both finish this week, so we’ll have almost nothing left to watch. One episode a week just isn’t enough :(

It’s working on GagaOOLala for me.

Yes, it really is sickening. At the same time, I'm glad we get to experience and see the dark side of the entertainment industry through this series. I know it's fiction, but things like this do happen in real life too.

Don't worry, justice will be served in 5.5 days.

I watched Speed and Love last year and absolutely loved it. Why does episode 1 have such a similar vibe?

“Whose ghost husband has returned”

Make sure you watch the post credit scene. It will absolutely melt your heart.

I agree with you. Bittersweet Love deserves more than a 7.7. The plot is well written, the acting is excellent, and the attention to detail in recreating the 1990s setting is amazing. I think it deserves a much higher rating. It's also a good reminder that we can't always rely on MDL ratings, since they don't always reflect a drama's true quality.

Just rewatched Episode 9 and noticed a small detail at the 6:05 mark, right before the shower scene when Sun says he really can’t get up. You can clearly see five opened condom wrappers and a bottle of lubricant. I love the attention to detail.

It really makes you wonder how many rounds they had. Even though Sun says he can’t get up, he still gets up and they end up going for another round in the shower 😂

It’s crazy how closely it matches the manhwa, even down to the smallest details. I wonder how close the series is to the original story. I cannot wait to read it.

I will read the Manhwa after episode 10

I notice that lump on his chest aswell, can you please tell me what it means?

I didn’t think about that. Especially at the start, he didn’t want Sky to call him P (older brother) because it reminded him of his younger brother.

Now he went back and saved Sky, almost like he was saving his younger brother all over again. That actually makes so much sense. Thanks for pointing this out.

Excuse me, there is no need to be rude. Just because I haven’t personally witnessed something does not mean I am ignorant. Not knowing about something that may be hidden or not openly discussed is different from refusing to accept the truth.

And if there are issues with corruption or problems that are hidden from the public, I would want to know and understand them. But calling someone ignorant simply because their personal experience is different from yours is not a fair argument.

First I want Jay and Sun to chop his dick off live in front of all his vitims so he won't hurt them again, then jail and like you said rot in hell!!!

Songphon, that old man deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. He should be held fully accountable for what he did and never be allowed to hurt anyone again.

Can we take a moment to appreciate Sun? One man against multiple thugs, yet he still went in alone to save Sky. What a selfless, brave and incredible person he is.

The shower scene at the beginning was so hot. The chemistry between them was off the charts, and the fact that they were still all over each other again the next morning made it even better.

And can we also appreciate Jay’s butt? I have never been this impressed by a 22 year old’s butt in my life.

Now I need Jay to come back and protect his lover.
