I did pick up on this, so it is in the back of my mind and is part of my theory that Woo-hak is actually the younger brother. I’d like to think they did the age casting intentionally but I’ve watched enough dramas where I thought some of the actors should have been switched around age wise. Until they start suggesting that Woo-hak is younger and Bo-goel is older, I’ll assume the ages are correct for now.

Some poeple and I were floating the theory that Ki-ho might have skipped a grade, making him younger than Mok-ha. I think other people saw this comment and assumed we were saying he was younger than Mok-ha and started repeating it as fact when it’s only speculation. I could be wrong but I don’t think it’s stated in any of the episodes so far that Ki-ho is younger than Mok-ha.

There might even be a bit of guilt thrown in there too. Guilt about not being able to stop Mok-ha’s dad and delivering her to a new life and guilt about the people that might have been hurt by his dad trying to find him.

In my personal opinion, they will keep going back and forth as to who Ki-ho is. Next episode it’s likely they’ll make it seem like it’s Bo-goel and then the next episode Woo-hak again, and so on and so forth.

At the moment, I think they are both caught up. Mok-ha finally meeting her idol who was also a symbol for her freedom and a better life and Ran-joo finding herself being adored again and having someone believe in her so absolutely. I can see how that can be quite intoxicating for both of them as they get lost in it, so I don’t judge either of them at the moment but when reality comes knocking I hope Ran-joo can wake up from this fantasy and do right by Mok-ha.

Lol shots fired!!!! 🤣🤣😂😂😜🤪

We still have half of the series left. I think the writers will be doing that to a degree.

Oh, ok. Thanks for clarifying. I was royally confused because I kept seeing that name everywhere when referring to him. 😅

Is his real name Gu Jing? The internet is telling me it’s Stan (Stanley) Huang.

The way I relate to this comment so much. 😅

I am not a shipper and I have never delusionally though two (straight) dudes in a mainstream drama should be together before (in fact I usually get annoyed by those sorts of comments), but even I cannot deny that there are palpable queer undertones in this show between the two leads. I don’t know how to explain it but it felt like I was watching a romance between the two male leads and not between the sml and the female cop.

It the unofficial queer movie we needed. 🤭

OMG. I thought I was the only one doing God’s work. However, instead of telling people not to watch, I just try to manage their expectations and then they can decide if they still want to watch or not.

I’m going to give you a different answer instead. There is no satisfaction for the things you are looking for from this series even though the things you’ve listed do happen; they are very very disappointing. As others have pointed out, there is very little chemistry which surprisingly gets worse as the series progresses. This couple will not give you the feels so if that’s what you are looking for, this is not the couple or the series for you.

tbh according to other comments the chemistry continued downward to the point they ended feeling like roommates. The kisses were the dreaded limp ‘fish’ kisses and although they ended together, it wasn’t satisfactory as the bad characters got a pass like they did nothing wrong. A complete waste of time and wasted potential imo.

I feel a little of what you are feeling. Most people in the comments either are attached to Woo-hak or are attached to Bo-goel. I don’t really get blindly attached to characters like that. I’m more attached to good plots and consistent narrative. I connected with the younger characters in episode one. They were written so well. I can take or leave the current MLs. What I’m hooked on is the mystery of Ki-ho, the heartfelt tone of this series and the fantastic singing.

How I look at it is, there are clues pointing to both WH and BG being Ki-ho but the clues that point to WH can either be explained away or they feel like a misdirect. Some of the clues that suggest BG is Ki-ho can also be explained away but some of it can’t (for now), so on balance I think BG is Ki-ho. I’ll keep following the clues and see if that changes.

On a side note, I thought I was the only one who thought WH was in a cupboard in that flashback. Others have said it was the front door and I thought I interpreted it wrong. I thought the father was looking down at WH at kid level so I thought he must have been a child in his flashback and hiding i.e. in a cupboard. For this reason the flashback makes it seem like this is a memory of Ki-ho’s but I cannot shake the feeling this is another misdirect as the father says, “where is Ki-ho?” instead of “where are you, Ki-ho?” However, we know how subtitles can be.

The problem is that Ran-joo is easily led and manipulated by the CEO. Mok-ha may get hurt by Ran-joo unintentionally because the CEO is Ran-joo’s weak spot.

That might be the case. He could be looking for his son to make amends. I wouldn’t put it past the writers even though they continue to make him menacing.

This threw me for a loop. I have so many questions. Was it real? Is it a flash forward? If so, will we be getting more flash forwards? Who is the girl standing next to her and why do I feel like that was Mok-ha’s daughter and not Ran-joo’s daughter? How does this fit in with the current plot?

I love a good mystery. 🤗
