I'm halfway through episode 3 and I feel a little strange watching this... The situations are kind of cringe and they look like adults pretending to be children 👀
EP 2 Episode 1 was a little strange, but I think that's because I was already assuming a romantic relationship, and the age difference was kind of odd...
However, in episode 2 she is older and more grown up, but still has childlike traits. She has a crush on him, and I think he looks at her with some curiosity.
I don't think there's love yet, but I think they're building a foundation of friendship to develop that later.
ML compensates for "this flaw", but she changes somewhat later on...
she is less annoying when she is 25/26 years old 😅 buuuut it really is her character. She represents a girl who was very spoiled by her mother and thinks she can have everything she wants, but she will grow as she enters the world of ML.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the murder in Idol I, and here’s my theory based on the first two episodes.
Kang Woo‑seong’s death seems like it wasn’t the real objective. From what we’ve seen, the real target might have been Do Ra‑ik, and Woo‑seong unfortunately got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The way the crime was carried out, a clean stab directly to the heart, no chaos, and the killer fleeing with the weapon, points to someone who planned this carefully and knew the apartment and the idols’ routines. Ra‑ik waking up drunk and medicated with fragmented memory only makes him look guilty, which seems exactly what the killer wanted.
There’s also the context of Ra‑ik’s previous incident with another member of the Gold Boys, which ended with that member in the hospital. This incident paints Ra‑ik as impulsive and somewhat aggressive, so when Woo‑seong dies, the media and fans are more likely to believe Ra‑ik could have been involved.
It feels like the narrative is being manipulated to frame him, and possibly to damage the group’s reputation as well.
Considering all this, I think the real culprit is someone from the industry, maybe a manager, producer, or staff member, who appears to help Ra‑ik but actually has reasons to undermine him. The crime was strategic, not emotional, and it seems designed to create maximum confusion and public suspicion while keeping the true motive hidden.
Woo‑seong’s death appears to be an unfortunate side effect rather than the actual goal, and Ra‑ik’s past behavior is now being used against him to make him look guilty.
It will be interesting to see in future episodes how much the staff or agency knew, and whether Ra‑ik will manage to prove his innocence.
For now, it really seems like a carefully orchestrated setup by someone who knows the industry inside out and wanted to use the chaos to their advantage.
I just finished episode 2... So far, the drama hasn't captivated me, but I'll keep watching because I think it will only develop in episode 3. I loooooove the ML, but I feel like he always suffers in every drama I watch 😭
I can't find that comment, but it's likely to be... 🤔 there's also an image circulating online that supposedly suggests that Zhao pulling her into the bathtub scene https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdmYyfgB/
I watched some super short BTS episodes, but one of them showed him taking a shower 😱 search TikTok for "love and speed shower scene" 🫣 he is so perfect 🤐✨
I’ve finished all 29 episodes, and Speed and Love completely exceeded my expectations.
The ML is amazing, carrying the drama with charm and presence. Coming from the K-drama and K-pop world, he sometimes reminded me of Yeonjun (TXT) in personality and style, and visually of Seungmin (Stray Kids), which made it easier for me to connect with his character.
The FL had some childish moments but was still enjoyable.
The story balances romance, action, and intensity perfectly, and the car racing scenes were a refreshing touch.
There’s no forced love triangle, which kept me rooting for the couple the whole time.
Overall, it’s emotional, fun, and engaging, a great first C-drama experience for me.
