Toot

Only watched 4 eps so far. And yes I am taking this far too seriously!! But for crying out loud, he obviously should be a multi-eventer (decathlon) not just a high jump specialist. It's making me doubt the capabilities of all of the coaches!

"My Fated Boy." Cheesy title, but it's ....*chef's kiss*

Also watching him train and compete, he definitely looks like a real athlete.
My absolute pet hate is watching actors run, who CAN NOT run! 😳 😂
(Sorry I keep using absolute...)

I grew up in this world (Athletics/Track and Field) and whilst I agree with you that he's over the top, I think it's ABSOLUTELY realistic. To me he's playing a VERY recognisable character. That 'cockiness' is spot on - Athletics is filled to the brim with this kind of personality. I think; to be an elite athlete, being a 'performer' is as necessary as being hyper-competitive. Natural talent (e.g. his lack of height) is the least necessary element.

No other reason required

I'm waiting too!!

I agree, she didn't need him! But that scene was a setup to makes him seem sinister IMO.

I LOVE this cast! Jung Ryeo Won and Lee Kyu Hyung, are THE BEST at stone-faced irony (i.e. you can feel them rolling their eyes without them needing to roll their eyes). The first 3 eps are good, but I have confidence there is A LOT more to come, just based on the cast alone.

Keeping myself very restrained here to avoid reading any comments/spoilers but just wanted to say, the support cast is out of the park!
Just 2 examples...Park Bo Kyun is turning out to be a very convincing creepy minion. And OMG Nam Ki Ae, in her brief moment in Ep 7...just *chef's kiss*

It's just too sweet

My thoughts out loud:
I wonder if it's the same cat as from "Meow My Secret Boy"🤔
...Jamie might turn into L 🤩
That would be too meta 😂

With the sheer number of stupid misunderstandings & 'wrong place wrong person' moments in this, I feel I should be assuming the main couple are NOT 'fated' to be together. But I keep watching...*rolling my eyes at myself*

Thankyou for stating so clearly, exactly what I've been trying to formulate in a review! Whilst I did plod through its entirety, it was over-all, QUITE disappointing. I think i was holding on, hoping it would redeem itself.

It's full to the brim of mystery and intrigue in the first 2 eps, with very little love triangle so far...which is also a good reason to wait and binge (if you're impatient like me)

As I said, I think we're seeing it differently.

😂 I agree, it's so laughable. But you know, you're suddenly 50 IQ points higher when you put on glasses. 🤣

OMG it's right here (sorry!!) FL plays it out with the Beauty brand executive in Ep 4 with the whole "I'm stupid I don’t understand poetry*. Although she's kinda using it to protect herself **deep sigh**
And the whole, hiding of her ornithologist persona ...

I hear you, but my suspicion (or hope) is that the writing is deliberately challenging. My absolutely most hated 'type' the FL is portraying is: The 'beautiful idiot' who is actually super smart but infantilising herself, to be attractive.
Because, you know, smart females=NOT attractive.🙄
But it's so early and obvious, I think it's on the table for "drama growth"

So awful and concerning that you expected to be attacked! But not surprising... Widespread understanding of prejudices and internalised biases, seems a long way off.
Thankyou for being brave and pointing it out here! ❤

I SO got a different feeling in ep1. To me it came across as him being resigned to her touch and not actually accepting of it AT ALL. Maybe we're coming from a different perspective and are seeing it differently. 🤷‍♂️
The whole non-consensual touching and severely stalking behaviour from the FL, is really troubling IMO. And the ML is a non-consenting victim of her troubling behaviour - he shouldn't have to take a step back.
