Okay, it happened off camera. She told him the full thing, off-camera. He did not stalk her into finding details and ending up at the same location.!!

Phew. I noticed that too. He bought her some instant seaweed soup, she found it sweet and slept with him, and he yeeted off without making it. Just like he nursed her during her fever, and she found it sweet and slept with him, then he escorted himself out the next morning. Said he will grab breakfast all by himself, and that she can scoot her bum to the hospital if she ain't feeling well again.

F-U---------

While most people are hating on them... I just find them pitiful. Not only Nabi, but Jae-Eon too. I guess, that's the difference. Unnecessary hate narrows and restricts your vision so much, you can't really appreciate the bigger picture. :)

First of all, their actions are always super confusing, going back and doing stuff that contradict what they uttered literally 5 minutes earlier (like typical Young Adults).

Secondly, JE is the first person to draw the line, not Nabi. She seemed to be put off when JE went off to school, said he would like to grab breakfast by himself, and suggested for her to visit the hospital (on her own) if she felt worse. He closed off and put up walls first. Nabi seemed to have expectations.. which were not met. To prevent further hurt, vulnerability, and being a possible subject of public humiliation, she closes off next, by suggesting they keep their arrangement a secret. She proposes to hide their situation BEFORE she thinks JE can propose the same (which she anticipates, he will eventually... being into casual-dating). She wants to be the person who cares less, because the more you care, the more power they have to hurt you, even if unknowingly. I can completely understand her psyche, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating to watch.

How did he find out it was her birthday? Because he clearly didn't know earlier when they made plans for sunday... Nabi said she hoped against hopes that he was suggesting hanging out for her birthday, but nope.... he wanted to go to the exhibit because that was the last day. I'm curious to know... also, he definitely stalked her to the train station right? He also didn't wish her.. but mentioned her birthday as a passing remark. He does have attachment issues I guess?

Maybe guys like JE are so damaged because they have been treated like rest-stops all their lives. Imagine. Must be a sad life.

ParaKiss didn't have toxic leads. Even though they went their separate ways, they helped each other grow. That story is so much more wholesome than this.... :)

Haha, I think the sexual tension kept us under PJE's charms, but after ep.3, we are collectively experiencing a 'post-nut clarity'. LOL.

Bit-Na and Kyu-Hyun really remind me of the 'You Drive Me Crazy' pair instead :)

Was just about to say it lol, thanks! :)

The psychological aspect of the story is quite riveting in its simplicity and mundanity. You're stuck in a relationship dynamic, where you're constantly trying to one-up the other. It appears okay on the surface, but it's very toxic deep down. No relationship should have to make you think so much, restrain yourself so much. I think they capture that aspect of the dynamic very well in the show. The camera-work is tandem with this angle, and the music/ sound-editing is great!

I speak very limited Korean now, as a result... loool xD

Meanwhile, I'm just glad Rio's songs were already existing before the episodes aired <3

Sure, a very typical third child with a large age difference to her older siblings.... one who belongs to the late-millennial generation, and was born to a relatively younger set of parents, who were likely at the peak of their careers while she attended High-School, that too in Seoul! Throw in an accidental third-child pregnancy in the later years, and maybe also conceiving the oldest child at a very young age (maybe even before marriage)... and I can see a lot of family angst that can make the KJW's character an introvert.

But you're right, it's not very common though :D

Eh, Bit-na seems like the kind who munches on popcorn while watching somebody's house burn. LMAO! xD She's the kind of friend who convinces you to go skydiving even though you are an agorophobic.

Awww :D

Excellent Shaman Ga Doo Shim, and now this?
Who is naming these dramas? Istg, they should make it a franchise with SW Do Bong Soon, and WF Kim Bok Joo.

Agreed, I had no idea what the show was about, so I was like , 'hmm, interesting pairing'. Then I saw they were playing siblings with Lee El, and I screaaameeed! Super excited, they will be an iconic trio for sure :)

I think both Nabi and Jae-Won are written this way for a reason, and that has nothing to do with the weakness of the story. Infact, I believe it's intentionally done and that is its true strength! You see, both our MCs are sponge-characters. There is enough to make them seem real, yet they are not too defined or peculiar in their identity, so viewers can project a little bit of themselves (and their known player exes) onto them, and become a part of the story. And when shit goes down, you feel it too. Y'know, like when you watch those 4D/5D/8D movies. It's not really about what's shown on the screen (aka the plot/ characters), but the sensory experience of it.
Infact, it's not just Nabi and JW; EVERY single secondary character we see on the screen is generic enough, such that the world-building can be done in a way that it might as well be YOUR own world. This is the reason why it's resonating so much with folks :D NB and JW's generic-ness is a part of the appeal.

PS. These guys have the potential to be one of the most ICONIC brother-sister trios in k-dramaland. Please writers, don't disappoint <3
