Hye Rang most likely has feelings for Ok Gyeon. Though with the way it's written, it can come across as a obsessive/possessive toxic friendship for straight audiences. They are basically playing two sides here because of Korean ''cencorship'' sentiments. It's not difficult to read between the lines though if you want, because the way Hye Rang looks at Ok Gyeon is far from friendship, especially during the wedding scene. In the webtoon they are together, but here they are toying with the idea by making Ok Gyeong distant and disillusioned with her life and thus making their relationship more ambigious.
Ju Ran's feelings for Jeong Nyeon became apparent in episode 7 to the point that she felt that she had to push JN away. She even discussed this with Yeong Seo.
Are they going to push the envelope in the upcoming episode? Maybe.
Look, told y'alljooran and jeongnyeon gave besties vibes at most...the only shippable ship (though it's a ghost…
Jooran obviously pushed Jeongnyeon away because she caught feelings while acting together. She even mentioned it while talking to Yeongseo. It's calles subtext, cause they can't make it too obvious for Korean TV. And even then, it's pretty obvious.
Guess this is why subtext is a thing, the straights have difficulty catching on lmao.
Obvious the network didn't want no overt lesbianism, so who knows if we're going to see anything besides subtext. Hye Rang and Ok Gyeon are living together, house decorated with pictures of them together, always seen with one another, etc... so the question is, are they going to spell it out or keep it as it is? The director saying that she transfered some of Bu Yeong's characteristics doesn't necessarily mean that it's about her lesbianism, could also have something to do with the misogyny and sexism she faced in the webtoon. Her storyline (and that of her mother) had some heavy feminist themes.
Team rivals to lovers here! I just saw somebody comment that jeongnyeon friend will betray her at the end.
In the preview for the next episode she's talking to the head of the school, asking if Jeongnyeon can come back. Would be kinda weird for her to backstab her and then backtrack. But then again, I have no idea who else it could be. Perhaps the dude who wanted to sign her?
So they didn't just remove the same sex romance, they went as far as to erase one of the characters completely.…
From what i've seen so far, seems they might have kept it in between Ok Gyeong and Hye Rang. So they might have gotten rid of Booyong, but there could still be a same sex romance. It remains to be seen though... Most likely they will just allude to it, nothing explicit.
Gay couple has a cute story about self acceptance and they turn the lesbian into a knife wielding psycho who wants everyone to be miserable because she is too. Couldn't they have given her a love interest at the end who helped her understand how wrong she was about everything? Also don't get why everyone was so quick to forgive her.... Guess because they were all guilty to some extend too.
Is it really an obsession? Maybe it's just your genre choice? Or the specific shows you've watched?
A lot of dramas have this makeover trope. Especially with characters that are very tomboyish or ''can't do makeup well'' at first. Obviously it's not in every drama, but the ''obsession'' Japan has with enforcing hyper-femininity onto their female characters ain't no joke.
who is playing the character of the girl with braids, seen in the webtoon poster?
Kwon bu-yeong? So far there is no news about that character being added to the drama. No actress is linked to that role either. Been waiting for the news about this for several months now, but nothing...
I think this could go two ways.
1. This character might have been written out to ''de-gay'' the plot. Having a female main character being in love with another woman might be a bit too much for some Korean broadcasting networks. There are romances between female side characters too, something which might be a little more accepted if it's alluded to or there no kissing scenes.
2. They haven't announced the character and actress yet because they know it might cause some issues and speculation. Having watchers find out along the way is a safer bet for ratings.
edit: Someone else in the comments mentioned that the director confirmed that he character has been written out and some aspects of her character were passed onto different characters. Lets hope that character ain't no man.
Came here to say the same thing. There's only so long they can draw this out, Hiroko there's no straight reason…
Love triangles are rare in GL, hence why I don't mind that kind of drama if it's handled correctly. In hetero dramas love triangles are often a self-insert moment, which to me is often cringe and something we've seen a hundred times before.
I wonder how long they are going to keep this going. Hiroko not getting that Ayaka is throwing herself at her (quite aggressively might I add) is only going to be believable and a funny shtick for so long. I also feel that Risa might have feelings for Ayaka, so please throw some love triangle drama our way!

I'll be quiet now, go enjoy your ghost ship! Though the only ghost ship in my head is Okgyeong and myself, but ok. xD

Just wait lol
