Episode 16 finally reminded us that Chu Chu and Xiao Jin Yu actually have some smarts. Their deductive skills are kicking in, and it's a relief they are not falling for the snake hiding in plain sight anymore. At least they realized how much of an instigator that person was. About time. 😏
The plot is so prescriptive though....adding the new screenwriter was a bad idea.

You could be right- we might end up with an open ending for them. Quite a few kdramas are like 😁

Oh thank you! I actually have a subcription to LP but I have not visited it for awhile. Appreciate the reminder!

I think they went through a lot that brought them together even closer in a more honest way but maybe not right into passion yet. The pacing makes sense to me where they are realizing their feelings for each other.

I am so glad that you liked the show too! We need more dramas with couples like that. Just thinking about their romance is like an instant mood booster 😊

I binged through this drama in two days and really enjoyed it. The lead couple were so charming. The FL won me over—even in her wilful, mildly bratty phases—while the ML was the textbook green flag. Call him a simp if you want, but he was no doormat: he pushed back when it mattered, and still loved with an open, honest heart. He fell hard—and honestly who could blame him? I love the idea of learning each other's language (emotional especially) as part of them growing personally and together.

The travelogue scenes were lovely (pretty places + pretty people = instant serotonin), and I ended up really liking the SML too. I mean… that man is ridiculously good-looking.

Skinship was just right, the chemistry was chemistry-ing, and while the second couple didn’t fully capture my attention, they didn’t ruin the mood either.

All in all: a solid watch. Slightly draggy in parts, but entertaining enough that I kept on watching.

I am glad that I am not the only one...I felt guilty for not feeling the great chemistry between our CP this season 😅 Even their investigation feels boring, "very step by step" and lack the oomph element that engaged us in Season 1.

Oh well, we are already half way there so let's see whose guesses are correct...hehe!

What's worse is that the angst seemed so contrived. Not sure if you watched ep 14 yet, but I was annoyed throughout the episode. The way and the amount of time they chose to announce certain revelations - leading to fake lead-up drama.

Also for people who are so intelligent, they came across as being stupid. Falling into traps too easily - the last scene and victim really were just unnecessary.

I agree - this season's main plot is so unoriginal!

Safety is such a good word to describe their relationship. Ra-Ik clearly felt that he could run to her earlier on, and this past episode, Se-na finally let down her walls and seeked comfort from him.

I thnk it is too soon. She also said she likes him. They probably need more time to develop that love :)

I just don’t trust You Chen An. On the surface he’s all polite smiles and good manners, but underneath all that niceness, he;s just a pure instigator. The kind that stirs the pot and pretends his hands are clean.

I’m also tired of Xiao Jin Yu’s martyr act. Like Jing Yi said—does he really have to carry everyone’s burden? At some point it stops being noble and starts being self-inflicted suffering.

I guess I am just in a bad mood - finding everyone so annoying lol

I don't know...I feel that they are implicated somehow but in the end, some of the members were victims as well. Maybe collateral damage?

Oh that's a given - they both need to pay for their evilness, the son for his blind loyalty and the father for being so immoral. I just don't want the show to forget about that nasty piece of ...reporter!

Right? I cannot wait. His evidence is so flimsy anyway. He doesn’t stand a chance against our FL!

Amid all the annoying chaos and mess, our couple was just ridiculously cute. They know exactly what to say to each other, how to support each other, and now—how to protect each other. Loved the dynamic in today's episode: Ra-ik clearly reads as the one with dating experience, while Se-na has strong first-love energy. Made me smile so much!

Also, good for Se-na— She bounced back so quickly in full lawyer mode. One more week left and no more guessing. But one thing for sure: I need that Reporter Baek to get beat up first… and then arrested.

Agree! The influence is strong. 😂

Yeah, your theory makes sense. He's so politically ambitious, and he wants to get on Hye Joo's father's good side. I think he is so morally corrupt to the point that he's willing to do that.

I don't know...based on your speculations so far, they seem more likely to be the perpetrators!

Ah, you're right - there was one drama like that...we've watched too many and they all are starting to feel similar :D

I thought about the voice and figured maybe they have an olden day voice changer - hehe
