Oh, man. That sounds beautiful, and poetic, and sad. T_T

The first para you typed is literally emotional manipulation 101. I dont know what’s worse now: if he was actually kissing the other girl or not. If he wasnt, whose lipstick did Nabi wipe off his lips then?

For a k-drama on Netflix about casual, superficial and shallow relationships, the discussion on MDL is SO intellectually engaging!! Good job, you guys <3

Dear Jae-Won....

Sir,
1. You don't trash-talk about the girl you slept with. In front of ANOTHER woman. ESPECIALLY the woman you're planning to sleep with next. It isn't going to make her feel special (if that's what you thought). AND you just exposed the fact that you'll call her 'clingy' next after moving on from her. And the fact that you aren't a gentleman. x__x

2. You don't mention boners while comforting a girl on the first-day of her period. You just DON'T.

*facepalm*

Yeah, Na-Bi lost a few points with me after that. I can't respect a woman who doesn't respect herself. And Jae-Won surely doesn't either. Sure, he can lust after her. But respect? Nah.

She'll learn it the hard way, because she thinks she can play Jae-Won's game without getting hurt, that she will be okay without the commitment from him. But boy, her own heart is about to betray her. Poor girl.

Boy, there is a TRANS flag at 33 mins into the episode. Outside the Laundromat.

Do-Hyun looks like a genuine sunshine-sweetie, whereas SK look borderline like a neurotic creep, with a dark side. Well, SK doesn't, but he delivers Jae-Won in such a manner. I like the directorial choice of making him look like the anti-hero <3
But yeah, if Do-Hyun coulda do it (the mean-streak I knowwww Jae-Won has hidden within him somewhere)... that would be so SO hawt, I don't think I'd be able to handle it either. OOF.

EDIT: About the 'believability' of SK looking like a player... I get it. He doesn't behave the part, while he looks it for sure. F-boys I have come across have always been charming (will-charm-you-out-of-your-pants kind) and usually are smooth-talkers, and have a dazzling smile. Their accidental touches seem oh-so-innocent in public, but they can always turn up the heat whenever they want. I think SK is doing the 'sultry' part well. But his public 'ladies man' persona, comes off very, VERY rough, and forced. His acting, LOOKS like acting. But I still stand my argument. Maybe he was picked because he looks like he has a believable 'mean-streak'. I can see that glint in his eyes.

I noticed the high EQ thing about Jae-Won too! Yep, he's perceptive and sensitive. But notice how he continues defending Na-Bi even while she's excused herself to the washroom? He has no reason to cross his 'senior' (the disgustingly condescending and sleazy guy in the alley) because A. Nabi isn't there so he has nothing to gain by defending her, because he won't be getting extra brownie-points from her. B. If the sensitive side indeed is a 'front' and a honey-trap for Nabi, then he'd have dropped the facade in front of the drunk senior.

I know, he's cultivated this thing as his pick-up game, where he makes his current 'target' woman feel like the 'center of his universe', he's conniving and calculating. Ugh, I'm so conflicted about him. He's a player for sure. But 'being nice' to Nabi, is that only a part of his game, or is it genuine? Istg, nothing about this guy is genuine. Even his smiles look fake. Like a means to an end (where he gets the girl into his bed) and then after that, he gets bored, and goes cold. But the question here is: Is Nabi special to him? Guess, we'll find out soon enough.
[The preview tells me maybe not, he's still going around making-out with girls in public, and on-campus. Ugh]

Boy: (after crazy-flirting and confusing the shit out of the girl) 'We are friends, right?'.
What the girl should say:
'No, we are not. You know next to nothing about me, and we just met two weeks back. We aren't friends. We are two adults who are immensely attracted to each other.'

What the girl does instead: *shrugs* 'Yeah.....'
-_-

Girl.... I was this girl. And there are many MDL-ers who were this girl. My heart hurts SO much for Na-Bi. :(

Same, Bestie <3 Thank you so much. As much as I love this song, I wasn't going to sit through more torturous episodes, just to hear this. Have been looking for this track, thanks :D
EDIT: I see all these Asian dramas use these catchy -af European/ Aussie indie band tracks. Do these guys ever get credit? :O If yes, then why aren't they ever listed on the official soundtrack released by the drama production? :O :O

I know, it's catch-22 at this point. I mean, should she just deny herself the pleasure, even though she's really attracted to him, just because he's a player? And if they both agree to sleep together and part ways, isn't that what both of them will want? Hence, win-win? But ugh, Na-Bi wouldn't want that, they have already established that by ep.2.

College is a weird place. Just because 10 people live the hookup-culture as their lifestyle, the remaining 8 are forced to try it out because 'you should live a little'. Not everybody is cut-out for this game, and it's perfectly okay. I wish youngsters would realize it sooner, that being the 'relationship' girl is nothing to apologize for.

Yeah, I had a similar thought. But it was more like, 'I'm done doing this push-and-pull once and for all, now. I won't say *NO* anymore. Just this kiss, and I'm going to get this beautiful boy out of my system.' Lol, she playing with fire now xD

33rd minute of the episode, the man walking outside the laundromat...
There is also a scooter, painted in the trans colors :D

So far, we assume it's only Jae Won who's attracting Na-Bi to him. But I think Na-Bi is also doing her fair share. The boy is a goner for her. He doesn't realize it yet. F-boys screwing over sure-deals just to lock lips with the other girl. I think JW's in trouble too.
I'm having too much fun watching this <3

She needs to sleep with him and dump his sorry ass.

This is why people do drugs. Or pickup smoking. They know it's bad, but then you're curious one minute, and addicted the next. Forbidden things have this weird power of attracting humans, and Jae-won might be that one forbidden flower attracting all the butterflies :)

Did you notice the TRANS flag painted on this one box? :O

Glad to see somebody feels the same way about DAYS as me. The indie/ post-rock soundtrack was good though, but coupled with the philosophical mumbo-jumbo, it was too wannabe, indeed xD
