Aaku

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

It's the hairstyle. He looked cute there, he was meant to be cute there and now with this hairstyle he looks hot.

Yes, New has always been this fine. 😆

Sea really delivered in that scene. I could feel the helplessness through the screen.

After receiving it, the victory spin he did and the adorable photos he sent to his mum thanking her. He is an adorable heart stealer.

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.

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.

Absolutely. Their whole energy feels warmer now. They are still roasting each other like always, but now it's basically foreplay. J knows Jinn likes him, Jinn knows J knows- it's all deliciously chaotic in the softest way. And J is so gone for him, whether he admits it or not (and well he's already admitted it)

Fingers crossed!!! After seeing the photos Gmmtv posted I am very hopeful.

I am completely stuck in that last scene. The way everything played out, the timing, the atmosphere- all of it- just hit too hard. And then they used “Not a Crush?” as the background music. I swear, that was perfection.

And the part that absolutely wrecked me was the hand–holding–in–the–air moment in the future. It felt so magical, so soft, so painfully pure. Like a promise, like something they didn't have to say out loud because it was already written between them. I can't move past it.

"I finally get it. For you, it can be anyone in the whole world but me."

It breaks my heart that Jinn genuinely believes he isn't worth choosing. And it's not just about how he interprets J's actions- this wound runs deeper. I believe it also comes from the fact his father never recognized him. That kind of absence leaves marks you don't notice until moments like this.
I can't wait for him to realize that he is worth it- every bit of it and so much more.

Van is out there telling Farm, "If I were a good boy, I'd have hit on you a long time ago." I am sorry, Excuse me? You are LITERALLY doing everything except filing marriage paperwork. You are already moved in, calling him hubby/ babe, clinging to him like Velcro- WHAT DO YOU MEAN if you were a good boy? Boy, Farm is in love with you. Might as well commit to the bit and make it REAL.

Honestly I am dying to see them together. Like, actually losing my sanity. I want to grab both their heads and bonk them into each other. The tension is killing me, the longing is killing me, their denial is killing me but I am still here grinning like a clown because I genuinely, wholeheartedly, desperately want them together.

Like there's no denying at least for me. It's the best.

J admitting he never hated Jinn and that he's not forgetting about the notebook- oh my god, that whole scene. The way it played out, the tension, the way they looked at each other, every word he spoke… and especially the vision of the future that followed, where they softly held each other's hand in the air as they looked at each other- my heart cannot even handle it. It was raw, it was beautiful, it was them. Every single second of that moment just cemented why I am completely, hopelessly obsessed with this series.

Oh my goddd!!! I am already down so bad for all of them and this episode just made it even worse.

It's D-Day, finally. I swear it's been ages since I've been this stuck, restless, and borderline feral waiting for new episodes.
