I never said it did. My original comment wasn't to you but to the person confused about Yurim wondering if there is no next time & what if this is the last time. & it wasn't meant to defend nor attack Yurim but rather to explain what her thoughts could've meant.

Again, I'm not sure how funding works for different countries & time periods. But, I do know that those things don't last forever & it was only one of the factors that I mentioned. I was only mentioning what she might've been referring to & nothing else.
agreed! i mentioned in an earlier comment that i wouldn't excuse her poor sportsmanship even if i could understand…
I see a lot of people mad at her for questioning the call & crying & I'm baffled because that's normal in sports. She didn't insult the referee or fight with Heedo in public. While it wasn't a perfect response, some are acting as if her saying "it's a bad call" was the most rude thing to say when it's only what she thought. To her, the decision wasn't so clear as it is for some viewers so of course she was going to be upset. It would be weird to expect her to accept the loss like nothing. I think a lot of the negative feelings/comments about how she reacted stem from the fact that most don't like her & feel as if she purposefully wanted to make Heedo feel bad. While Yurim isn't nice to Heedo & is insecure because of her, I don't think her reactions were part of some malicious plan to bring down Heedo. It was all a normal reaction.
The fact That they are still teenagers.. I really like this part. They should stop hating . They are still young…
My opinions about the situation are completely different than yours, which I asked people please not to comment since there's already so many "Yurim was unprofessional" posts. I don't mean that to be rude but it's that we both have our minds made up about it so I'd rather not go back & forth.

As you mentioned somewhere else, fencing wasn't a popular sport & I'm not sure how the funding works. For example, in the US they receive funding through a private entity. Also, that was just one of the factors I mentioned of what she was probably referring to.

As I mentioned, I've seen grown men athletes cry & handle similar situations almost the same as Yurim, or even worse, so I'm not enraged by how she handled it like some are. I think it was realistic. From her point of view, her years of hard work & sacrifice didn't result in the gold medal that she thinks she deserved. I would be upset too if my match ended on a decision that isn't 100% accurate (again this is from her pov). I guess some are thinking that because she's been in more important matches than Heedo she should've known/reacted better but I'm guessing she hasn't been on the end of losing like that before. Whatever the case, it was great drama for the story.
I'm not a fencing fan but in all the other sports I watch athletes question questionable calls all the time, they answer reporters' questions about it with their honest thoughts, & they cry/show emotion on the field/arena when they lose, especially if it's because of a controversial call. Some are saying Yurim was unprofessional for how she reacted & I can't help but chuckle because I found her reaction tame compared to actual unprofessional behavior from athletes. Should she have answered the reporter's question differently? I do agree that she could've added 'but I respect the decision" or something but of course in the moment her emotions were high so I think her response isn't farfetched. A lot of athletes who have more experience & are older than Yurim & Heedo don't appear to be media trained so I don't know why some expect these two teenagers to be able to handle this situation perfectly. Neither her, or Heedo, could've predicted how the media was going to react. As I said before, I'm excited to see how both of them will deal with this situation going forward. I especially hope that it's the start of a turning point for Yurim. Since the start of the show, I've felt neutral about her, though as the episodes have gone by & she's gotten a lot of hate that I felt was over the top it made me root for her growth even more. If you hate Yurim & have a different opinion about this situation, then please don't comment trying to argue.

It's a competitive process of months, even years, to make a national team so you have to stay healthy as well as have money to compete, which we know she really doesn't have, so that's what she meant by wondering what if there is no next time & what if this is the last time.
I get people being mad at Yu Rim but it's a little frustrating that people are talking so much about her when…
It's sad because the media does that kind of thing with athletes all the time but I like that the issue was explored here. Of course I don't like the aftermath of the match & press conference but it was understandable for Yurim to question the call, cry about her loss, & answer the reporter's question. People are taking Heedo saying that fencers know who is faster as her meaning that Yurim is lying but I didn't take it that way. Given Yurim's reaction, she truly believed that she lost because of a bad call. Yurim hasn't accepted Heedo as a real rival so in her mind there's no way she could've been faster. While she hasn't been nice to Heedo, she also hasn't gone out of her way to be purposefully malicious, at least I haven't seen it that way.
I was a little surprised that there's no proper video recording at every angle for an international match that…
Well, this is set in the 90s so we don't know if that was available then. Even today in some sports they don't allow replay for certain plays. Reasons for that are so that the game won't be slowed or so that players/coaches won't get in a back & forth to keep challenging (though in some sports they are given a number of challenges allowed). It's frustrating at times as a fan but there's also been changes for the better in sports as the years have gone by.
This light viewing is a refreshing change. I like that there doesn’t seem to be any love triangle angst among…
I'm still experiencing post Snowdrop withdrawals & needed something light like this for my watchlist. I wasn't expecting 39 to have that theme but I don't really feel attached to the characters. I'm still watching because I don't have nothing better to watch, it's a short drama, & for the acting. As for FLAW, I don't care for the second leads either but it's fun to see the cracks appear in their relationship. I'm still sticking with it for the leads.
Yes, I like both the ML & FL for the reasons you said. It always bothered me a bit that her friend set her up like that, though it worked out in the end & I am a fan of the fake dating trope that we will be seeing. If they follow the webtoon, then I don't expect any heavy drama. Even if they do pursue a love triangle, I don't think it should be too bad, at least I hope not.
i know!! i also need a break from the on pouring of heavy dramas. I need the stuff that brought me into kdrama.…
Yes, I usually have a balance for what I watch but I was not getting that lighthearted drama so I'm glad that this finally aired. I hope we get even more fun dramas airing soon.
As a sports fans, I've seen quite a few controversial calls having players & coaches question it just like Yurim did (& some of those players & coaches were actually harsh with their comments) so I didn't have a problem with her doing so, especially because she really believed she got a bad call. Of course because we know her feeling about Heedo & how Heedo's winning moment was ruined it's difficult not to feel upset. That being said, I love the tension of it all & what it will mean for both athletes going forward. The writing hasn't let me down yet so I'm very excited to see what happens next.
me crying over a fictional character who started doing fencing when she was little and continued despite everyone…
It was impossible for me not to start tearing up as the fencing match was going on & we were getting flashbacks with her father & how others didn't believe in her.
maybe this is a hot take but personally, the amount of intense hate over yurim's character is weird to me? like…
Because Heedo is the main character, we got to see her feelings as a fan & athlete it's easier to side with her & think that Yurim isn't being reasonable. However, I agree with everything you said about Yurim. Though her attitude towards Heedo makes her unlikable, I understand where it comes from & I don't see her as malicious. If anything, I'm excited for her character's journey ending with her respect for Heedo as a rival & friend (I'm still counting on them to be friends).
It's been months of watching dramas that are on the heavier side so I gladly welcome this romcom full of clichés. I like the fact that they poke fun at these clichés too through the use of the grandpa & the drama that he is watching. I think all the actors are doing well with their roles so far (except Hari's mom lowkey annoys me for some reason) but I can't wait to see more of the grandpa (when he meets Hari) & Secretary Cha (when his love story begins.)

Hopefully, the preorder numbers are okay & they don't cancel it.
