Mistress

Didn't see it that way before but now that you have mentioned it...

Yes, the roles between HK and SW were reversed. It would have made more sense if HK was reluctant to enter a new relationship with a co-worker because of how her last one ended. But then again She Would Never Know was built on sort of the same premise and people(not me though) didn't receive that drama very well.

It does feel like SWs story development was just an add on to sort of get us to start seeing him as a flawed person. The first few episodes showed him as this sweet guy who didn't have much but would go above and beyond for the person he loves. It had me wondering why YJ broke things off with him because he was amazing to her.

I believed that YJ was only into HJ for the money(I still believe so) and now that she realizes that this person she married is broke and could never treat her as well as SW did she regrets it and is definitely jealous that the woman she was replaced by is her husbands ex.

You took the words right out of my mouth, I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said.

SW would be wrong for telling her his intentions for their relationship after they started living with one another, I 100% agree with that.
As for Yoo Jin, I don't think there's anything wrong with changing your mind when it comes to marriage but the way she handled everything was wrong. She shouldn't have cheated her way out of their relstionship

100% agree with you, regardless of the future intentions of their relationship both YJ and KJ should have respected their partners and not have cheated in them. They handled their situations poorly and it's now affecting their marriage...as it should

Yes, to some degree everyone is at fault. Si Woo dating both Yoo Jin and Ha Kyung without intent to marry. But I can also defend his side as well because there is nothing wrong with dating w/o intent to marry. He might just want a relationship like a marriage but w/o the papers. So like a cohabiting relationship, but I only support him if his partner is aware of his intentions and is okay with them.

So it brings another question: did he tell Yoo Jin this when they were dating? And if YJ knew and had agreed at the time but later on changed her mind she could of handled the situation better. She shouldn't have cheated on him. I can only empathize with her to a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with changing your mind on your views on marriage but she handled everything poorly. I might sound bad for saying this but I am glad that her marriage isn't going well. She left SW( a person who seemed to really love her but also had his flaws), for KJ(a person who she knew was engaged to someone else and still decided to marry him). Both are walking red flags but Si Woo was the better option or even better she could have not chosen any of them and found a better love but sadly she comes off as a golddigger.

So for me this raises this question: was Yoo Jin correct to end things off with Si Woo? Is it fair to date someone without intent to mary them and vice versa? Did Si Woo have to do that at her wedding and was it justified?

I'm interested in hearing from you guys, for me this episode made me empathize with Yoo Jin. This is the first time I am understanding her, her only flop was going after a man who was engaged and then marrying them because they were the first person to say "marry me" instead of "date me". For me that is not reason enough to marry someone, my empathy powers end on the "date with no intent to marry part".

I really thought that Tae Mu had figured out Ha Ri lmao.

I really enjoyed this episode! Once again I have started a drama that is still being aired and have to suffer each week as I wait for the next episode to be released. I never learn

Idk why people say the FL has more chemistry with SML. I think the chemistry between the leads is amazing! It's building and I am here for it

Hi, yes you are right. After rewatching it I saw the plots that I missed. Thank you for reminding me🌟

1. Lita is very calculative, I agree with most comments about her. After watching her barge into Thyme's place I got a weird thought: she played a massive role in the breaking up of Thyme and Gorya. A girl like her isn't stupid but can play the role of a stupid girl with ease. She reminds me of Hana but she executed her plan better than her. She probably liked Thyme for a long time(I could be wrong) and planned how she could be a part of his life. Gorya just so happened to be in the way and so she had to befriend her and make her doubt ever being perfect for Thyme. Because to be honest, if you look at all her actions and I mean ALL, you can see her motive. Running into Gorya, befriending Gorya, coming at her home, telling her about her and Thymes world, telling her about her feelings for Thyme, buying her things in the name of "friendship", wanting to go to prom, the kiss at school. One thing about Lita though is that she and Thyme are the same, especially when it comes to liking someone. Both of them have this non violent aggressive way of getting someone you like to like you back and be your boyfriend/girlfriend. What Lita is doing to Thyme is what Thyme did to Gorya, very in your face and no room to disagree lmao. I am not sure if she is ultimately a good person, I am half and half on her

2. Talay, can't say I am surprised about him. I smelled him from a mile away, he is a character the literally appeared from nowhere and the 3 witches of the east proved that as well when one of them asked "you are not a familiar face" and he quickly went to change the subject. Kaning telling Ren and MJ that Gorya went on an errand with Talay and that he went to their school but none of them seem to know him, his act with Thyme at the mall(look Thyme had not right to act the way he did towards Talay but this also brings me back to my comment last week on how Gorya had never given Thyme the benefit of the doubt in any conflict they find themselves in.). When Gorya asked him if one can forget the past and he whispered a no. Ultimately he is a bad guy for involving Gorya in his matters with F4. If he read the room his revenge could have stopped at the parking lot when Gorya told Thyme to never show his face to her again. If he read the room then he would have seen that he had won and hurt Thyme and I am not trying to defend his actions but I understand that hurting Gorya like F4 hurt Phupha makes sense. A loved one for a loved one but honestly he is a coward for involving Gorya(who wanted out of Thymes live and had nothing to do with Phupha) in this.

3. I read someones comment on how we all turned a blind eye at Phupha being bullied but suddenly got enraged when Gorya was made victim. This was so true, it is easy to undermine the value and worth of someone when you do not know them. Ultimately F4 are the bad guys and we have been tricked into seeing them as the heros, if it weren't for Gorya the bullying would have went on and more students would have been left traumatized or suicidal. I don't believe that the bullying would have stopped had it been another girl instead of Gorya. Let's say for instance Hana was never the antagonist in the show, if you really think about it Hana would not have been shown mercy just because she was a girl. Gorya just happened to be the "lucky girl", MJ didn't speak up for Hana when she became the target of F4. To some degree I see why he never spoke for her because she didn't go through what Gorya went through. Gender plays a role in seeing the wrong of what F4 was doing but it didn't play that big of a role. Everyone felt bad for Gorya because they knew her, people like Phupha and Hana and the rest of the students who were victims of F4 had no bond with us and the rest of the school so it was very easy for us to forget about them and their experience with the F4. The F4 is paying for their doings but it's sad that Gorya has to face the monsters that were not created by her.

A nightmare I had to drop 6 episodes in. Absolutely terrible, will not be telling people to watch this.
The Thai version is way better than the Korean one

We're just understanding it different and that is okay.

Thyme's mother has been nothing but a traumatic experience for Thyme and his sister. He is fighting so hard to not be the product of his mother.

Your point number 2 proves that she never really believed in Thyme. My original comment mentions that she only has short bursts of courage and that's it. She gives up too quickly, she thinks of herself and no one else. She says hurtful things and expects Thyme to just take it, Thyme has never done the right thing from the begining in her eyes. She always has to hear it from someone else. She doubts the love that Thyme has for her and that is on her. A person should know when to give up but Gorya gives up too quick.

Look, I'm not condoning the Thyme who wasn't in love with Gorya. Also most of the things that happened where out of his controll. We can't blame him for the actions of others, it would be crazy to say it was his fault why his mother did all those things to her.

The fact that he keeps fighting against his mother. A woman he feared for so long and is only starting to gain courage. It's like his sacrifices are smaller than Gorya when they aren't, he is trying to be a better version of his moulded self.

I hate this thing of always judging a person based on their past (especially in dramas) when the character has shown massive character development. If the things he listed is reason enough for Gorya to not trust him and be patient for him then they are better off without one another. Their story line was supposed to start of rocky, Thyme is supposed to be this guy we all hate at the begining but grow to love and understand as the story progresses. He is TRYIN, trying to fit into her world. He literally moved from his luxury home to stay with her in a house infested with roaches. She isn't the only one losing things and she isn't the only one who is "exhausted".

Not once has she ever given Thyme the benefit of a doubt. Not once has she said, let me trust that the man I have know Thyme to be will continue to do the right thing. He asked her to be patient and she only lasted a couple of days before waving her white flag.
Maybe the reason why Thyme hasn't told her the plan is because he is scared he might lose her because his plan isn't as solid as he would like it to be. He is leaning on faith, holding on to hope that things will work out in the end. That he will win over his mother.

Can she for once just trust Thyme for than 72 hours? That's all I am asking for, can she want to be with him as much as he wants to be with her? Her insecurities are showing and it's not fair that Thyme is taking those hits.

Don't agree with this one. Thyme is willing to let his mother ruin his life. He just wants to be with Gorya. The way I see it is that Thyme asked for patience because he is trying to build defenses after the old man died. Be a man who can be worthy of someone like Gorya. Someone who can protect her against his mom.

But Gorya has never given him the benefit of a doubt. She most of the time sees the worst in him(and I get it)but Thyme has proven her wrong most of the time.

She is selfish and only cares about herself. It doesn't matter that Thyme is getting hurt or betrayed by her. She has massive insecurities with her status in the world. I wish Thyme could move on atp

To be honest I see both sides of the story. I understand where Gorya is coming from and I understand where Thyme is coming from. However if I had to choose a side, I would choose Thyme's.

In most cases in stories like this, people like Gorya end up becoming the mistress and people like Thyme get married to people like Lita and they have kids and live thier lives in luxury. Thyme would make the promise that things will be okay and they will be together, which never happens. However, the reason why I am on Thyme's side is because I believe something like this is more likely to happen if both sides don't give up when it is time to give up.

Gorya gave up too soon, she didn't fight hard enough for him the way he fought to them in this episode. She has these short bursts of courage (such as in the previous ep when she told Thyme's mother that her relationships are her choice) but at the end of the day she goes back to her feelings of worthlessness. She is not the only one having a tough time, Thyme is going against his mother to be with her and her heart isn't as strong as Thyme's is at the moment especially when it comes to their relationship.

Gorya wants to protect herself, I get that and there's nothing wrong with that. But the person who seems to be taking a bigger risk is Thyme, his demon of a mother holds his life in her hands and he is willing to allow her to wrack it. If Gorya fought in this episode and gave up later I would have been more happier because by then she would always have that feeling of she did all that she could and still nothing worked out. Both parties can then move on with their lives.

Just for once can she trust Thyme, can Thyme just for once get to fix things? Can she be patient and trust, hope and pray that the man she loves would come through for her? Just for a bit can she let Thyme handle this, if he can't(let's say he ends up having to marry Lita) then she can end things. She is only protecting herself.

Just fight for your love until you can't anymore. She literally gave up in level two of her against Thyme's mom. Thyme is just as desperate, he wants things to work out between them and the fight has literally just begun and yet Gorya gave up so soon.

I know a lot of you won't agree with me, but this is how I feel atm. They are fighting a war but Gorya seems to be aiming most of her weapons at herself.

I hated the Korean version of BOF, couldn't even finish it. Gorya is much strong willed than her other versions.

You can watch the korean version, you might like it. It wasn't my cup of coffee though

I actually enjoyed season 2, I am honestly sad that Hyunjun won't be coming back. I missed him throughout the whole season.

The 1st season focused on Yoo Han and Yeon Woo's relationship(not that it was a bad thing, I actually liked it) and little on Yeon Woo's mom and the world of mono and probe. Instead it left us with a lot of questions, which honestly was a good marketing strategy because it made you look forward to the second season.

Season 2 was perfect, and the opposite of the first season. This time they focused more on Yeon Woo's mom, and we got to understand where Mono's were coming from and the hate society has for them. Most of the questions we had from season 1 were answered and it made me happy.
Se Hyun was a breath of fresh air, I could see pieces of Yoo Han in him. Such as being over protective and the need to have Yeon Woo close to him, Yoo Han however is more tsundere than Se Hyun who is to be feared but is more of a teddy bear.
I am still team Yoo Han and Yeon Woo and I am glad the directors didn't just end their relationship. Season 2 wasn't as bl and season 1 and I loved it.

Yeon Woo and Se Hyun have a great friendship energy and I hope it stays that way. They don't have to end up together for me, I like their friendship even though Se Hyun wishes it wasn't.

Curious to seeing who will be casted as the new Yoo Han. Curious to see how they will explain the last post credit of episode 8. Season 3 let's go.

I think if Ren hadn't left for France, they would have had a chance. The biggest mistake Ren(like his other versions) ever made was leaving for France. By the time he comes back Gorya would have fallen for Thyme. At least Ren would have gotten the closure he needs, and he can finally let go of Mira but he would also have to let go of Gorya.

The reason why Gorya would fall for Thyme is because she finally sees past his arrogance and cold heartedness. I'm seeing people saying that their stories(Ren, Thyme and Gorya) doesn't make sense. I think it does, love waits for no one, and it is unpredictable as well. It makes sense why Gorya falls for Thyme because in the end she spent more time with him than she did with Ren. You're more likey to befriend someone you interact with everyday than someone you interacted with for 3 months but they then suddenly moved to another country, no contact at all after.

And let's be honest, the Thyme we have seen from ep3 till now is a darn soft ball. Who wouldn't like him after that? I just wanna pinch his cheeks man.
I love that Gorya made him wait in the rain, a little payback for the things he has done.

I'm really enjoying the Thai version of Boys Over Flowers. I only lasted 'til episode 6 of the Korean one before dropping it. This is doing justice for all of Gorya's versions, I wish they were all like her.

I don't know about y'all but that was attempted murder. You want to tell me that the person on the scooter didn't see Neung on the surf board? NGL, that seen was very much unexpected, the way I gasped!! Once I was over the shock however, I might have let out a laugh or two because, wow it really was so sudden. From 0 to a 100.

I really like Phap, he was being a kid in this episode and I think the reason why I'm letting it slide is because Nueng and them liked it. I laughed at the hanging man part, it was all in good fun. Just a jealous person doing jealous person things, and this was really cute compared to how jealousy has been shown in previous BLs. Give my boy a break, I get why he's jealous. Though Maze and Nueng are brothers, the way they showing their relationship is hella sus. That's just me and my opinion though
