I was shocked by the news. This was one of my most anticipated series. The cast was absolutely stellar. Still, I think it's ultimately a good decision rather than forcing it to continue. What saddens me is the lack of proper research before committing to the adaptation in the first place. I just hope all three pairs get new projects as leads- they truly deserve it. I would seriously be flipping if they don't.
That second “We do love each other.” was so reassuring. The first one was him saying what was happening, while…
That's actually the sweetest thing I have heard today. I am so glad my rambling reactions makes you smile. I am definitely not stopping anytime soon- this show gives me way too much to scream and go on and on about. Talking about it on mdl makes the wait so much more bearable and fun.
That second “We do love each other.” was so reassuring. The first one was him saying what was happening, while…
Right? That second line hit completely differently. It wasn't just an explanation anymore. And Jinn... god. The way he just goes still, like his whole world shifts in one breath. I can't wait to see the next episode. Their boyfriend era is absolutely going to destroy me in the best way possible.
Jinn: So what happens to you and me ten years from now? Tell me already. J doesn't look away. There's something settled in his eyes, something softer than certainty, deeper than hope. J: We're boyfriends. Jinn blinks, stunned. Jinn: Huh? J reaches out, grabs Jinn's arm, and tugs him forward until their chests press together. Jinn freezes. J: We hug. J slightly pulls back just enough to look at Jinn. And then, without hesitation, J leans in and kisses him. (Like cherry on top of cake, Turns out it's you plays in the background, too perfectly timed) J: We kiss. You and I love each other. Jinn is utterly surprised. Jinn: Ae J.. J: We do love each other.
I've been replaying this particular scene every chance I get during my breaks. Like damn. It's so well done it actually knocks the air out of me every single time. J's still shaken from his breakdown, still carrying all that fear about the visions, but in this moment he's also strangely steady in what he feels for Jinn. And Jinn's shock, the way he completely freezes when J pulls him in- it makes the whole scene feel like everything they’ve been avoiding is finally spilling out.
Overrated and starting to become really irritating. The other ML Jinn is too engrossed in his own drama. So let…
I get that Jinn might not be your favorite, but calling the drama "overrated" because of him feels a bit off, especially when his actions actually make sense within the story. Jinn isn't angry or sulky out of nowhere, nor is it random jealousy. He confessed to J when they were younger, got rejected brutally, and had to deal with judgment from everyone around them. And since then, they've constantly been on each other's nerves so of course a sudden confession now would leave him guarded and conflicted. That's character depth.
And about the "tailing".... I honestly have to ask if we watched the same drama, because what do you mean "guess"? There's nothing to guess- it's shown clearly. His mum wasn't home, she called J's mum and asked her to cook for him. Their families are close, they grew up together, and even with all the bickering, they still consider each other friends. Going over in that situation is normal, not tailing.
It's totally fine if this drama isn't for you, but dismissing it as "give proper score, people might think it is actually any good" because one character doesn't behave the way you prefer feels a bit unfair. A lot of viewers appreciate the nuance and emotional depth the show builds. There's definitely more going on than irritating drama.
Jinn said, "There's no reason for me to be your chauffeur" and drove away, leaving J behind.
But cut to him sitting alone in his condo, staring at the door, phone clutched in his hand, at this point not even pretending he is not waiting for the very same person he pushed away. He's not texting, he's not calling but he's waiting. And then he gets that call from J's mum saying that J and his car were gone and that she couldn't reach him. He doesn't think. Not even for a breath. The next he's grabbing his keys to go find J.
Of course, he is the first to arrive at the circuit when Tar calls saying J is spiraling. And Tar saying, "You say you hate him the most, yet you're the first to come, Jinn." Like where's the lie? It's the one truth Jinn has never been able to outrun. God knows it's been haunting him for years. Every time he runs to J, every time he worries too much, every time his guard slips, that truth is right there.
And the way Jinn immediately bolted to stop J. I could feel the panic in him. He was genuinely terrified watching J race around the circuit with a hand that had barely just came out of a cast. It wasn't annoyance. It wasn't obligation. It was fear. Pure, helpless fear.
And that's the thing about Jinn, he walks around acting detached, sharp-tongued, unbothered but his heart gives him away every single time. He says he will hate J, yet he cares the loudest. He pretends J is nothing but trouble, yet he's the one who feels that trouble in his bones. He is so freaking precious. The kind of precious that doesn't know he's precious, the kind that loves so deeply and secretly he scares himself, the kind whose vulnerability shows in the cracks he tries so hard to seal.
Van clinging to Farm in sleep, and Farm setting a new alarm just so he can have 15 more minutes of stolen snuggle. Then, the moment Farm finally drifts off, Van peeks open his eyes and smiles quietly to himself. Like how can something this simple feel this unbearably adorable? And can they just get together already? T^T
Why does it feel like J can’t stop what’s happening to Jinn? Even when he steps in and tries to change the…
I feel like it might be butterfly effect. Like Jerome seeing the diary then kissing Jinn wasn't a part of the previous future but because of that, the future changed and may be the changed events are also shown in the vision, especially the scenes where Jinn gets hurts. I don't know if I am explaining this well but I think this is what is happening.
Oh my goddd!! Why are they so damn adorable? Like why, why, for what?? Ughhhh. And that last scene- aahhhhhhh I swear, they're actually trying to end me at this point. I can't wait to see them in their full-on dating era. I just know it's going to be disgustingly cute, unhinged, and everything my heart has been begging for. At the same time, those visions of Jinn dying are scaring me, and Jerome is out there carrying the whole emotional weight. This episode was an absolute rollercoaster- one emotion-packed punch after another. And Jinn… he's just so precious.
It broke my heart when Jinn said that he wouldn’t burden J with his feelings. Jinn is so used to hiding his…
Exactly. That line shattered me too. Jinn has spent so long believing his feelings are something inconvenient, something he has to carry alone, something he should not be feeling. And then J just… holds him. No judgment. No distance. Just warmth. And the way Jinn's whole face softened when J asks for time. That tiny spark of hope he tried so hard to hide. It was painfully beautiful.
Jinn: Does it bother you… knowing I still have feelings for you? J looks at him with softness he doesn't even try to hide- like something inside him finally stopped running. J: Ae Jinn.. But Jinn rushes to explain, as if afraid J might misunderstand the weight of his own heart. Jinn: Don't overthink about me. Don't get confused. I've lived with this feeling for more than ten years. So don't worry. I won't burden you with my feelings. J pulls Jinn into a hug, instinctively, almost helplessly J: You must be wondering why I'm hugging you right now. Please don't ask anything yet, because I can't figure out the answer myself. Give me time. Once I'm sure... you'll be the first one to know. Jinn goes still as he listens to J. Then his hands find their way to J's back, his lips curving into a smile. Jinn: Why am I letting you hug me… when I should be kicking you off the chair? J smiles back.
These two are circling around each other with so much tension that they could power an entire city. And them both not being able to control their smile speaks volume. It's that soft, helpless kind of smiling- the kind that slips out when your heart gets there before your brain does. J is confused but drawn in, Jinn is thrilled but pretending he's not, and together they're just… falling. Slowly. Stupidly. Beautifully.
