I really dislike the FL character as written. She’s so immature and spiteful

I am watching on Hulu

This show is hard to follow being so cryptic and disjointed. I disliked it in The Trunk and annoyed even more with the first 2 episodes on this drama, as for the very first scene I had 3 different interpretations of what was going on, as he wore the same clothes every night getting off that bus.

He was leaving after carrying her to her place. When she yanked him back and not let him leave, she crossed the line. He was weak and gave in. That is the point in the drama where it broke for me and became uncomfortable. Debating on whether to finish, as the 2nd FL did not deserve this.

That caught me off guard too!

LOVED Knight Flower.

She wanted kids. He felt that 2 people with no parents is not a good combination, but I think the real reason is his childhood trauma of being rejected. Some then develop like an attachment syndrome, or break up or cause pain first so that nobody rejects them. He loves her but afraid of his feelings for her. I think since both conditions may have been genetic, the curse on each other was coincidental but hurtful nonetheless.

All of leads together playing drinking games, and the ML looks on wistfully, it was like the ultimate found family. As for the behavior of the ML character, those who have been traumatized like to break off relationships or hurt other people first before they get hurt. It is a common theme. Ultimately I like that some of these characters get the validation they desperately needed in the low points - the dog who is told he is a tiger, the overprotective mom told she raised her son well, the leads confession of love even in their turbulent relationship. That there was something of value in each flawed character. And the metaphor of plankton - tiny sparkles in the sea, lowest on the totem pole of live, but essential so we can have oxygen to breathe... that every creature (person) has value. It had some bits that reminded me of kind of a like a Tarantino movie with some out of sequence flashbacks, and well placed dark humor, male bonding in absurd situations.

What I loved in episdode 10 spoiler below

the album is on Apple music. I loved the soundtrack. Interesting that California Dreaming is struck me as I grew up with the song, so when I went to University of Washington, the cold gray winters made me homesick. Ironic that the song was by the Mamas and the Papas, and the leads were in search of their parent lineage, and a stable place of home.

very well put - your summary nails it for me.

yes - the ending of the first episode gave us a lot to look forward to - the first part they have a lot to cover in terms of setup, challenges and circumstances.

I had no idea until you mentioned it!!!

Jung Eun Chae wow! Such a completely different role than Panchonko that it took me awhile to realize it was the same actress. I am loving this so far and once again my tastes aren’t in alignment with this rating system as the score is much lower than my score. I find that the contributor’s comments are like minded so I appreciate their insight

Thank you. I was confused as the actress looked so similar to KTR. I probably would have eventually figured it out but grateful for your help

agree - The POV seems to swing back and forth - I just was trying to add a different perspective in response to the bashing of the ML character. This drama does totally suck me in with the yearning... LOL

yes there is. It is about the timing of love - how intense a first love is, the breakup, and how we are different later - would it work if they got back together? Who knows? But I am just putting in my thoughts of I would think the end game would be, which is only 2/3 complete. The acting, writing, scoring and cinematography are wonderful and I am highly interested in how it turns out. A log of people have strong feelings against Jungo but his back story is complex and deserves consideration as to the complications brought into the relationship. Well drawn characters.

ML must have attachment syndrome if his mom, first girlfriend and 2nd girlfriend all dump him with no explanation. Yet everyone is down on him. He works through feelings through writing which I suppose is self directed therapy. He should find someone new, who hasn’t dumped him and get therapy for expressing feelings

my guess is it will be delayed like The Revenant was, so we won't see it for awhile. It is not on Hulu's list of upcoming shows for October
