XXI

It's understandable to be upset if you're significant other keeps things from you & I know she feels as if Sunghoon puts Taemu above him & her. The thing is that they haven't had any deep conversations so she doesn't realize why Taemu is like family & has his loyalty. Of course I'm not saying her behavior was okay but I do agree that she'll regret it.

I understand her feelings as a mother of wanting to see that her daughter has someone by her side to love & that she's cared for. However, as you mentioned, her actions of continuously trying to make choices for her are unbearable. Her daughter is an adult with a stable job so I don't know why she can't just let Jinha be.

If you don't mind clichés & are in the mood for a fun romcom, then yes!

Youngseo selling Hari out to Taemu was something that always bothered me in the webtoon. As you said, it all worked out so it doesn't seem that serious but in reality that's messed up to do as a friend, especially because there was no actual sincere apology.

According to the student files, March 28 is Youngro's birthday. Happy birthday Youngro!

I'm going to be honest & say that I stopped reading at "he did the right thing." The majority of us aren't comfortable or like seeing him for good reasons & a long post isn't going to change that.

Adding to that, I'd think about how what I want from a relationship seems to be different than what kind of relationships San San has. &, yes, he's been pretty honest & understanding towards her so I don't know why she doesn't go to him first.

He did make me roll my eyes when he said that because he had also intervened, though I will give him credit that since then he hasn't done anything else unlike San San.

Yes, there's a part of me that has a hope that because they've made us believe they don't end together, they are actually are going to surprise us. After the way they've built up their relationship, it would make no sense for them not to be in each other's lives one way or the other, unless they had a really bad fallout or the other popular fan theory scenario that I don't want to write.

Kijun: "I know this sounds ridiculous coming from me -" EXACTLY! So, don't speak & get lost 😊
(I can't remember if that was what he said word for word but it was something like that.)

If there's anyone who still doesn't care for her, then they may disagree but the writer did a great job in setting up Yurim's character. I know you were one of the ones who wasn't on the hate train because you understood Yurim's character, so I guess watching today's episode must've felt like watching puzzle pieces come together. I don't know how else to explain it because you already said it well.

&, yes, I agree about the baekdo. Honestly, from the start I've had the mentality that they won't end up together (of course I want them to but I guess my brain was trying to protect my heart just in case lol). While their relationship is pure & can't be described (as they themselves said with that beautiful conversation), one of the things that captivated me about this story is seeing Heedo pursue he dreams while Yijin finds himself again & I think they've done a well enough job of that. As long as the writing stays strong like it has been, then I think I'll be satisfied with the end (hopefully).

I finished episode 14 & it had me tearing up throughout its entirety. In a previous episode when Yurim & Heedo had that talk about athletes changing their nationalities to compete, I had a feeling that Yurim was going to do so but it still kind of shocked me when we saw it happen in today's episode. As sports fans, we invest time, feelings, & money on our favorite athletes & teams & some entitled people think that means the athletes/teams owe them everything. They forget that athletes are human too & have their own reasons for making decisions when it comes to their careers that can cause fans sadness/to be upset. I loved how the writer portrayed this sensitive issue showing us how citizens reacted to the news while keeping the focus on Yurim's process & growth because of the situation. Throughout the series we've seen her shoulder the responsibility of her family sacrificing for her & how it's been a mini burden to her, & today we saw her firmly embrace that burden. It was bittersweet but, as someone who has been rooting for her growth since the start, I was proud watching it. Also, I have to mention how, once again, Jiwoong proved to be the best boy by comforting Yurim & saying it must've been hard for her to make that decision & that's she cool rather than asking her why & begging for her to stay. I know many thought that their relationship was only superficial since their like began because of physical attraction, but Jiwoong has always been someone who has helped her forget her worries while letting her stay honest & true to herself.

Sure, their friend is asking for advice but they aren't self aware looking at their own relationships realizing maybe the best way they can help is by only listening & letting their friend come to their own conclusions as they vent.

Yup, I know that she was hurt by hearing the truth like that but she didn't even consider the words he said about how she's made him feel. The breakup was a good thing for them & it should stay that way with the way they are, but I'm sure there will be a reconciliation. & it makes me laugh that San San is someone who likes to keep it casual but thinks that she is an expert when it comes to serious relationships.

Exactly. I know some will think "oh, but San San was helping her brokenhearted friend let loose" & I wouldn't think too much about it if she hasn't been consistently causing more harm than good with her so called advice.

Yin Xi to San San: "don't give [Zhi Xiao] bad advice." Finally someone said it! (I know that with episode 19 we're thinking maybe Yin Xi also shouldn't be giving advice, but she's right when she said that!)

I was wondering what you would say about the third lead couple's situation & Dear Abby Wannabe & it's another spot on post from you.

It's nice to see a more cheerful side to rather than the "weighed down by expectations" side of her. Based on the mini teaser for the next episode, it seems as if she will need the support from them too.

I know that senior forecaster is a bit clueless when it comes to relationships with others, but he really thought it was a good idea to loudly tell Siwoo in a room full of their colleagues that he knows him & Director Jin are dating??? Like he didn't wonder why they kept it a secret in the first place (yes, I know he has his own issues to think about) 😩

I finished episode 13 &, although Jiwoong has been the best boy since the start, I found him particularly endearing in this episode. Also, I know this is basic but I was thinking about the fact that I like how Yurim hasn't been bothered by his close friendship with Seungwan (because you know sometimes in shows they make the significant other not like their partner being best friends with someone of the opposite gender). So, I like how his relationship with Seungwan hasn't changed either. I don't know what's going to happen in the future but I really hope they'll maintain their friendship.
