What I don’t understand is why Fou4Mod chose to leave Chian in the first place, especially after that scene in ep 5 where Bua told him that he and Chian were no longer a thing and even made him change their TikTok account’s password. Wouldn’t that have made Chian and Bua’s status clear from Fou4Mod’s perspective at that point?
The fact that Chian understands what it’s like to be used for convenience yet still chooses to do the same to someone who genuinely likes him makes him even more culpable. He tries to downplay it by saying, “Oh he agreed to this setup, so we’re good.” This character needs some serious consequences.
Okay, maybe it’s too soon to judge, but so far, the plot feels rather shallow. It revolves purely around superficial teenage romance and nothing else. At least give us more of the characters’ backstories (their families, personal struggles, or other aspects of their lives) or maybe weave in some themes relevant to the target age group. If this weren’t from the creators of I Told Sunset About You, I wouldn’t have such high expectations. I still have my hopes though for the remaining episodes.
Finished Episode 1 after spending a whole day convincing myself not to watch it until the series ends so I can spare myself from potential heartbreak!
Anyone want to guess where this is headed?
My bet is our red flag cutie who happens to only like “the chase” will end up being reformed after realizing he’s in love with our Off 2.0. But of course, there will be lots of heartbreaks and best friends taking part in the mess before we get there.
This is a compelling drama with an unconventional format and story progression. The only regrettable aspect is the treatment of Kim Doosik's story. Despite being a significant character portrayed by an A-list actor, his role in the last few episodes was underwhelming. Another point of concern is Huisoo's arrival at the school after the battle has concluded. It would have been more satisfying if all the main characters were present in the final battle scenes, helping each other.
The last episode felt like a blur. I hope the writers took the time to focus on the most important scenes. For instance, when significant characters are thought to have died, only to reveal they are still alive, you'd question what the point of having those scenes in the first place is. It felt pointless to have fake death scenes when they didn't affect the viewers emotionally.
The epic battle between Uk and the firebird was a letdown. It took an entire season to set up, but the battle ended in less than a minute. Uk was so overpowered that he didn't even break a sweat while turning the firebird into an ice sculpture. Overall, I wasn't impressed with how the characters' complexities and emotional depth were simplified in the ending. Many of them behaved out of character, which was disappointing.
Can someone spoil if they became an actual couple early on, in the middle, or at the end of the series? I don't like it when the leads take the entire series before they acknowledge they have feelings for each other. TIA!
Can someone clarify how the late king is related to the current king? And if the late king was revealed to have a son, would that compromise the current king’s and, subsequently, the crown prince’s claim to the throne?
2. Geon Yeop (the teacher’s son) and Hyeon U (Ji U’s twin brother) joining the final gang fight to defend Ms. Lee
3. Han Ul dragging his dad with him
I could think of more minor changes, but I thought these three would have made the ending more special. 😇
But if I had to make a wishlist for an even more epic ending, it would include the ff:
