I’m sorry I think I didn’t understand you complety then because you said that it seems like Season 2 will be focused on her old relationships but we had much more scenes of Yumi and Babi here. You sound like you weren’t just talking about the EP5 so it made me confused.

Right?

Are we watching the same show? Until now it’s been really focused on Babi…

Loved EP5! We could understand Woong better and at the same time this whole ep was really necessary for Woong to move on and grow up. We could also see how mature Yumi is compared to S1, i’m proud of her! I felt a little sad tho, especially because I like Woong but it was a nice close up for their break out. But omg seriously Babi is TOO PERFECT I CANT HANDLE THIS!! He’s like the second lead which never ends up with the girl lol but i’m sure he wil screw up things later. Also I don’t think we will have a season 3. I think this season it’s all about Babi x Woong or fully focused on Babi (which is the guy I think she will be ending up with).

Talking more about Babi, seriously he is my ideal of perfect guy. Handsome, straightforward, cute, knows how to cook, likes to read. When he said “If a man's trust in his girlfriend is strong, the ex-boyfriend has absolutely no power over her”, he really got me like 100%. I know he can’t be THAT perfect of course because it would be unreal but no matter what, i’m already in this Babi ship. I think it will be really difficult for me not want him to end up with Yumi, but let’s see.

I don’t understand some comments here. It’s a remake…so obviously some things it’s going be the same as the original. But actually I feel they tried to change some things and make more “Korean”, as the personality of the characters and also the North x South Korea thing. If you are going to like this changes is up to you but for me it’s fine as I wasn’t fan of the original version anyway. Talking about this, I’m not a fan of the original version, I find most of the characters annoying and the plot was only good in season1, but i’m trying to give this a chance as I really like the actors. For me the serie itself it’s not that great so I also don’t expect much here but the actors until now are good in their characters. Only watched EP1 tho.

PS: I think people that love the Spanish version won’t like this one that much. Maybe only people who didn’t like or dropped the Spanish version, could be able to enjoy this one a little more.

Seems like the director said it’s 30 episodes. 20 in part 1 and more 10 in part 2!

Really enjoyed it, more than I thought! Main leads are perfect in their role and their chemistry is on point too. Mudeok was made for Somin and omg Jaekook really surprised me here. He’s really natural in the character and his acting is also a good point. I don’t know how well the acting for the others characters will be (especially Minhyun who seems a little stiff) but the plot is interesting and the characters are also good. I’m little worried because it’s going to be 30 episodes but let’s hope it won’t drag. Now I can’t wait for episode 3!

PS: I think this drama is perfect for the general public, especially the ones who doesn’t enjoy political scenarios or too heavy dramas. Here we have a good mix of good fighting scenes and serious moments but with also funny moments.

1. Seriously the tongue scene was one of the most creative thing i’ve seen for a while, I died laughing.

2. Babi is so hot I can’t breath, I’m loving the couple. But he’s TOO perfect for now, too perfect that even hurts and makes me a little umcomfortable. So I’m already expecting a bad side of him soon. I agree with some cells when they said that Babi look like a guy that overcomes relationships too quickly. Of course this can be a positive thing, but it can also mean he’s a player. And as he’s TOO PERFECT for now, i’m already expecting a bad side of him later. I mean, no one is that perfect.

3. Babi or Woong? Well thinking about Yumi’s personality and perspective: I think Babi is better. Woong was a good boyfriend and in general I like him, but Yumi is a reserved girl who tends to not speak what is in her mind, so she need someone opposite to her for the relationship to work out. Woong or Yumi needed to change (or grow) the way they deal with relationships for their relationship to work out and neither of them was up to this change. So thinking about Yumi’s perspective and personality, she need someone more direct and open as Babi.

4. Woong friendship with Yumi could look nice. In the teaser seemed like he wanted another chance but I really hope it’s not this because it would make the character a pain in the ass.

1. Oh boy VegasPete story is really rushed. Their story really needed more focus, as the characters are really complex. But well, for me it doesn’t change that much because I’m not a fan of them anyway since the novel.
Bible and Build are amazing in the characters tho. Really good actors! Also liked how they used red and green in the secret room. Really intelligent move from the directors.

2. Kim being ignorant with Porschay doesn’t make sense. I know he never said he liked Porchay but his attitude was odd. Seemed like the writers wanted to create a drama between them.

3. Vegas sending the message prentending to be Pete and calling Pete’s grandma was a good way to make Kinn forgetting about Pete less dumb. I still found a little forced that Porsche belived everything that fast but it was more plausible than the novel.

4. KinnPorsche being a domestic couple ugh, their chemistry is insane! The helicopter scene was really cute (and also hot) but I have to say…in the novel Porsche’s birthday scene was waay better. I really hope we have at least Kinn declaring his feelings and asking Porsche to be officially his boyfriend in the next episode. But I think we will have the pool scene between kinnporsche in the next ep too. Excited!

5. I don’t see how they will finish everything about Porsche’s family with only 3 episodes…or they will really rush or they will let this for the Season 2.

Yeah they changed the sexual abuse scenes and put in the serie more psychical torture like beating. Still awful of course but in the novel was way worse, mainly because it’s more focused on them and Vegas feels pleasure while raping Pete.

I’m sorry to disappoint you but they probably will end up together.

Their torture scenes in the novel it’s basically rape scenes with also a lot of beating.

Interesting to see that her visions about the future is just a part of it and it can be even influenced indirectly by her. I understand her fears now about not trusting her own visions but we have only more 4 episodes, main leads just got together, and instead of having a lot of scenes of them together, we had a bunch of scenes of her and SL (which I found a really annoying character). So yeah I was expecting to see a more interaction between main lead now that they got together :/ i’m also thinking that the last epidodes can be a little rushed. Seemed like the story just began now and it’s already ending lol but let’s see.

Excited for the new episodes!!! If u found the first one weak by any case, watch at least until EP4 before droping. For me it got sooo much better after EP3, now I can’t wait for EP7!

Right? And we can also cleary see by his smoking scenes. I think it was rushed but the sadness was there.

Yeah. They focused on too many things in this episode and idk I just think that this whole heroe arc shouldn’t even exist.

I disagree with people saying that Kinn wasn’t sad about Big’s death, for me it was clearly that he was. His smoking scenes just showed that for me, especially because it’s not common to see him smoking. So for that, we can see how much pressure and stress he was feeling. The thing is that the episode itself was really rushed, they wanted to close Tawan’s arc, make Kinn and Porsche come back together and begin VegasPete arc so we didn’t have that much of focus about Big’s death. But I really blame the writes because they made Big look like a heroe out of nowhere lol we really shouldn’t care about his death (neither the characters), he supposedly should be the bad guy lol

Complety agree with you. I even found this whole scene forced. I mean, he was a brag with Porsche most of the time and now out of nowhere he dies saving him and he saying “Kinn loves you” was like??

I must say…Kinn forgetting about Pete just show how the writes aren’t that creative lol I know they needed something to make VegasPete scenes happens but they really couldn’t think anything better? lol this just make Kinn looks stupid. And it becomes WORSE because he and Porsche won’t be able to communicate with him and instead of looking for him right way, Kinn just thinks Pete is in his family island lol Also, this whole thing about him pretending to trust Tawan but knowing the true the whole time was a little forced. I don’t even know why the writers put this in the serie because this whole thing don’t even exist in the novel.

Porsche also trusting Vegas even after Kinn and Pete telling him that Vegas is dangerous is just??? The worst is that if they follow the novel, he will trust Vegas AGAIN. At least Vegas won’t lie to him again but still.

Really didn’t like this change they made with Big, it seemed out of the blue and weird. In the novel HE IS the traitor, he’s a character we don’t like. Here in the serie he was a jerk with Porsche most of the time and until now I had literally 0 empathy for him. But suddenly, he become a heroe and dies after saving Porsche’s life? Like? They should have make him a more likeable character because his death would look more significant for us and even for Porsche itself. I think they wanted to make a impacting scene with his death but besides being like “poor him :/“, it wasn’t that impactful for me. Also I wanted a proper scene between Kinn and Porsche because they resolved everything too fast. Actually the episode itself looked rushed :/

But in general I still liked the episode. Vegas was my favorites tho. I really like the scenes when he’s the villain, he’s just perfect in this. For me the scenes when he’s the evil, smart and manipulative guy is the best and the strongest of him. He’s actually the best Kinnporsche character for me. Evil, manipulative, smart, but he also have a soft side. Really complex.

PS: Mile smocking scene was SO HOT, seriously. I watched them 20x times.

We didn’t have the pool scene we wanted but we had a scene we really needed omg SO SO BEAUTIFUL. Seriously, KinnPorsche is the only bl that gives me a lot of ITSAY vibes and this is killing me. The acting, the scenary, the kiss, the OST… it was beyond perfect. Overall, I really enjoyed this episode. Kinn and Porsche were really cute and also hot, and I enjoyed how they showed both sides really well. Porsche is so so cute 😭 and Kinn really become a better person when he’s with him. Happier. Saying all of this, i’m not ready for Tawan, he’s so annoying. I hope they won’t prolong his scenes too much.

Also, even loving the episode, I do have a few observations to make. I got it that they wanted to make a lighter and funny episode, but for me, Porsche seeing Tawan as a ghost was a little unnecessary. I mean, we are at EP8 and we have a lot of things to develop and a lot of things to happen so we can’t waste time.

I know a lot of VegasPete stans are worried about the develpment of the couple but their story took a time to begin in the novel too so for me the pace in the serie is the same as the novel. BUT, I do think they could have started their story in todays episode. They are focusing complety in KinnPorsche story, because ofc the story is mainly about them, but having only 14 episodes is making the sides couples suffer. Well, at least i’m sure their story will finally begin at EP9.
