@MaureenGals, the discussion, I have randomly titled 'Fl & Ml appreciation post' can be found above the Comments section under the Discussion section. Due to some website error it is not showing on this page, so just click 'start a new discussion' link where it says 'Be the first to start a new discussion for Hyena' and you can see it. Everyone can discuss the show there more freely as I have added Spoiler alert in the title itself! Have fun, will join later! :)

Hi, I just opened a discussion topic as it is difficult to type here in this comment section. Let's continue this discussion there. :)

Swd is one of my fav shows too! :) There too the FL is strong, both physically and mentally! Love such characters! <3 Looks like I gotta rewatch the scene you said now...
And about fanfiction, you should totally try reading some about your fav characters soon, I'm sure you will enjoy it! It's so much fun! And you should try writing too about the endings you wanted to change because everyone has a unique perspective about scenes and it's always more the merrier! :)
Also for recs, well it's been long since I read something new... The last ones I read was about Castle and Beckett and Broadchurch shows! So I dunno what to rec you... You can just go to those sites and search for your fav pair and start reading the stories with most 'likes' or 'follows' ! That way you will get a hang of it. :)

And about fanfiction, well it is just something someone writes about their fav movie or tv series characters. It's like sometimes we see a movie or show and feel that a particular scene or the whole movie itself could have ended in a better way, like an alternate ending or something? In such cases people themselves can write that ending or scene they wish to see as a fanfiction. It's like same fav characters of your fav show in different scenarios written by amateur writers. You can read them by googling your fav couples and fanfiction. The popular sites I know are fanfiction. net, wattpad and a03. I read ffs for mostly English shows, dunno about k dramas. A word of caution but, as people write each and everything that comes to their mind, be sure to read the pairing and rating before you start reading anything. You can find some really interesting stories by some really good writers there and everything is free to read too!

Looks like we really similar thoughts about this show! Hi5! :D And yeah even I keep wondering how the show will go from here, but somehow I keep getting a feeling that in the end she will become the boss of Song and kim? Or maybe buy that building she wants to buy so badly and open a new law firm? Maybe she will open it along with yhj? If she does that, then the hurdles in their love will be almost non existent because then she will be powerful enough to shut all the wagging mouths... Also, I didn't understand the conversation b/w Mr. Song and his father few episodes back... whether his father wanted to become next president or was it Mr. Song? Because if his father is going to run for presidency, then her background will seem like a problem to him, otherwise his dad seems ok enough and will retire soon too, to be bothered about his son's love life...

I want to take a minute to talk about the best boss - secretary relationship now! Is it only me, or is there anyone else who loves watching scenes of our badass FL and her equally quirky and cool secretary? Her secretary is her perfect confidante, she knows all the crazy wierd habits of our FL and is also always right there with her in all her mad hatter schemes! :D She also doesn't mind talking straight with her boss when required! Guess the only person our FL truly listens to, is her secretary... More like a true friend I guess... :) Also, she's a shipper! Double bonus! ;D

I raise my hands! Haha But seriously, ML is going to be winning hearts left, right and centre if he keeps this up! :D He is a perfect foil to the FL's non-chalant attitude! She's is cool as ice and he's all melting fire, the perfect sizzling combo! Kudos to the writer for creating something like this, which is usually a true rarity in k dramas...

Agree with everybody here! That last scene was totally amazing!Even I can't get over that scene and the small restaurant scene and have been watching them both again and again! :D

Oh, don't worry, I love reading happy rants! :) And I agree too, with the ep 8's last scene, the ML surely won many hearts! His behavior should be in textbooks of how to be there for somebody who is sad, it was so perfect! No preaching, no judgements, no wise cracks, just simply being there for her despite his own heartache... That was beautiful...

Hi, I completely agree with you too! :) FL's character is already one of my top fav heroine characters because she has that perfect package of badass attitude and kickass dialogues, so I am not going to gush about it again... :D But ML totally stole the scene in the last episode! His acting is really fab, especially that glazed eyes he gets when he talks sincerely about their love, that is truly beautiful sight... The camera too always captures it in a perfect angle!
I too keep thinking about them long after the episode ends... So much so that I feel like writing a fanfiction for them! :) Usually I watch k dramas that are already completed and most of them have fluffy romance, where the directors themselves show everything and nothing is left for imagination, but here their relationship is super complicated and both of them speak very little about their feelings, that it makes you imagine many many 'what ifs'... This type of love story is my fav... <3

So true; even I am loving that he is really super honest about his feelings with her... Because I actually thought his ego will not let him be open about it, him getting cheated and all, but this gave a refreshing turn to the character, almost unpredictable behaviour... And more than the last 'use me' scene, I was surprised when he confessed that he came to meet her in that shop just because he missed her! That was a totally 'awww' moment for me. :)

Next episode, it looks like yhj is going to be jealous ! XD It's going to be interesting! Hehe

In ep 7 when they were hitting each other's shoulders that it reminded me of elementary school children! :D And in ep 8, wow, they grew up fast! Haha In the last scene of ep8, the feels were so heavy, I wanted to hug them both! Also, I am really happy with how the episode ended, not only because their chemistry was sizzling but also because now we are getting into the real Jung guem ja and Yoon hee jae's love story with no more pretenses on anyone's part... It's raw and refreshing!

I love the fact that the romance in this show is so different from the usual k drama fare! Their dynamics are so volatile! It keeps changing every moment ... It's childish spat one moment and so mature with deep feels, the next! Keeps me glued to find out what is going to happen next! Also the actors, especially the main leads are spot on in their portrayal of their respective complicated characters, it makes it doubly entertaining to watch their facial expressions... Especially, the male lead, his expressions are so vivid, you can feel what is going on in his character's mind!

Happy Women's day to all the ladies out here! And let's support strong FLs like our Jung Guem Ja! People love grey shaded heroes, anti heroes and bad boy heroes and love it when the girls are goody two shoes and love such heroes with their lives .... So why can't we accept the opposite too? Why can't we love a grey shaded heroine, an anti heroine, a bad gal heroine? Let us gals, support some variety in representation of our own gender too in such shows. Let gals be bad and heros be good and fall die hard for these bad gals for a change, in this new decade! :)

After 6 awesome episodes, I would totally recommend this show to anyone who is not expecting any moral science lessons in a show. Because everyone is grey here, some more so than the other. Most of them have a back story, if that is an an excuse you are looking for...then that's there too. Overall, the story is pretty good, romance is interesting and looks like mostly everyone has some secret past which will hopefully give us some nice episodes in future too. The cinematography is great, bgm is oddly captivating and actors are terrific too. Give it a try!

Also, in the scene where he heard his favourite music playing in her car, aww his reaction was so cute! The actor has got a brand new fan in me! :). Also ML's reactions all point to the fact that he is still in love with her and belives she too actually loved him and still loves him just like he does, even though she keeps denying that the whole thing was a farce! Aww, I love these kinda complicated feels! Plus the 2 actors are acing these scenes! <3

Ep 6 Love his reaction in the beginning after she asked him to let go! It was like for a minute he was lost in his emotions and wanted her to own upto hers but she let him down! It was both sad and hilarious! Haha I know wierd but that's how this show is, it makes you want to feel sad for a character but the characters themselves don't want to be sad about it! :D I am totally loving this show!

Ok wasn't there a scene where FL hears her sister's voice through the phone saying someone is strangling her and that her neck is paining? FL even remembers that incident more than 1 time... But in the end they didn't reveal anything about it, right? I mean her twin didn't even get a chance to make that phone call when she was being strangled, then how did FL receive that call? Blooper? Or did I miss out anything? I am confused! Somebody help please!
