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

So, let me get this straight:
Series description says- Lee El plays the typical 'oldest, first child', Lee Min Ki plays the typical 'second, middle child' and Kim Ji Won plays the typical 'youngest, third child'. Where is the comedy tag, THOUGH? :O :O

*checks out scriptwriter*.....
previous projects: My Mister.


Me: 'Aha, No wonder!'
*bookmarks at Plan to Watch, High Priority' :)

Is this redemption for Lee Min Ki after his tragic landlord/landlady drama? The writer-PD duo gives me fresh hopes <3

I think she is in self-denial mode. You know when you go skinny dipping into an ice-cold lake on a dead winter morning, and you kid yourself 'i know this is cold, but it can't hurt that bad right?'... at some point, it's the adrenaline and other questionable hormones that convince you, you can survive the plunge. Your brain knows it's a bad idea, but you say... 'screw it, let's go for it.' You also try telling yourself you went into the pool once on a particularly windy and chilly day, and you survived through that, so it won't be as bad.
It's not the most perfect analogy, but yeah.... she thinks she has seen the worst with her ex, so whatever heartbreak Jae-Won might bring (by bringing in other 'women' into their relationship, which he inevitably will!).... she thinks she can survive the hurt so she once again says 'screw it.' Little does she know she has allowed herself to be affected so much by Jae-Won in the process of pursuing (what she thinks is) a 'casual relationship' with him..... he ends up bringing out really ugly stuff within her, like past issues which hadn't surfaced as prominently before, or she herself wasn't aware of.
And sadly, a LOT of relationships become like that. That, is the picture perfect definition of what a toxic relationship looks like ;)

Let's just say it wasn't 'critically acclaimed', while I see the potential in this script to be one. Especially with JCW's acting chops!!! So yeah, hope they don't bomb the script too bad.
