That was a better start than I expected. Episode 1-2 had a really surprising plot twist and I almost got angry at the show for fridging the mom. Nice save there. But I really hope that Suzy's character will continue to be the (only) one with visions. I didn't sign up for a drama centering around the male lead stealing the show and abilities of the female lead, so to say. So please keep that supernatural power for her and let this be a one-time incident because of star-crossed lovers shenanigans or whatever.
I've seen nany posts on the feeds talking about second lead syndrome, I thought there was romance :/
The show is not really about romance but "a first love" plays a factor. The "second lead syndrome" is mostly because a lot of viewers just care more about the charismatic second male lead than the actual male lead. And of course people tend to ship ship ship, that's why a lot want the charismatic second lead end up with the female lead. But I doubt that the show will give us a couple at the end... because it's really not about that.
My love for Man Hee is undying. Dong Cheol is amazing, too, but I'm more attached to Man Hee. I made a youtube video about him, if anyone is interested :) https://youtu.be/zwcqEC9XOQA
Now I'm off watching the latest episode!
I guess a lot of people will disagree but I don't like how Tae Woon has been behaving quite possessive. I…
@Jikooker:
Well, I totally think this drama is produced and written targeting a young audience. Media has a great impact on everyone, especially young people and I think that if a show is portraying questionable behavior as normal and okay, that can have a great influence on how they are going to perceive behavior like this in real life as well.
I don't know if you haven't noticed but Eun Ho does say at times that he should stop, or she's glaring at him. I mentioned that in my video, too. But the show is neglecting that and pushing everything into a romantic corner.
As you said so yourself, this show is not reality. Characters are written by other people, so in a way, as weird as that might sound, yes I think Eun Ho can't defend herself because she's not real but a written character. She's doing everything her writers tell her to do and vice versa. That's why I'm pointing out in my video that I wish the writers would let her call him out on his behavior and stop romanticising it, so that Tae Woon can learn from his mistake and grow as a person.

@joannesmith
I actually had younger viewers in mind when I decided to talk about this. I love the show and it's been some entertaining weeks but in my opinion it could have done better regarding that part about Tae Woon's behavior. I agree that he's written as a guy who likes to fool around but not talking about what part of his behavior is at least questionable while they are being a bit preachy, as you say, regarding other important topics but disregarding his excessive jealousy is just not sitting well with me. Just like you, I'm really hoping that they will address this but we only have 2 episodes left :(

I said in my video that I wouldn't mind if it's really just his character but then the show should have made him realize his mistake(s). I really hope they will talk about that in the drama but we only have 2 episodes left, so sadly I don't think they will :(

@Jikooker
I'm gald you get what I'm talking about but I'm not sure if (especially young viewers) notice that there's something wrong with guys being possessive when all the show is doing is portraying it as romantic and "there's nothing wrong with it" because "the girl doesn't seem to have any problem with it". That's exactly why I don't like them showing it such a playful way and not letting Eun Ho speaking up about it at least once.

@Kawaitanee:
I don't necessarily think that it's just a cultural thing. But at the same time, I have no idea why writers decide to add behavior like this to their stories if not condemning it as wrong or at least questionable... Because I agree with you, maybe they want to portray it as him being inexperienced and just a guy who really loves the girl but just like you, I don't perceive this sort of behavior as cute or lovely at all and I wouldn't want any guy beaving like that to me.

@Rebekah:
Thank you for your comment on my video as well :)
A few years back, I didn't notice such bad behavior in kdramas even though it was definetly there (all the wrist grabs and stuff) because I just didn't pay attention to behavior like that and I have to say that I partly have to accuse writers/directors/producers for downplaying and romanticizing such behavior. I was younger than I am now and I really needed others to tell me what's wrong or at least arguable with behavior like this in relathionships. I'm glad that others made me start to think more about it and not just brush it off as petty. So I hope that I can make people who are totally unaware at least to think about this topic and then decide for themselves how to deal with it. But I have to admit that I think kdramas (can't speak about Thai drama because I've seen only one) evolved for the better over the past years. I have a feeling that we see less and less of wrist grabs, possessiveness and similar.
I guess a lot of people will disagree but I don't like how Tae Woon has been behaving quite possessive. I wanted to talk openly about it, so I made a youtube video regarding what's bothering me. If you're interested, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/95oONmPll94
Let me know what you think and if you agree with me or not!
Why is Tae Woon being so possesive? Can he please stop :( I don't mind a bit of jealousy but his behaviour is getting out of control.
Apart from that there were great Eun Ho x Tae Woon scenes in episode 10 as well. My favorite is her being flustered by his smile, that scene is basically the counterpart to ep 8 ending scene / ep 9 beginning scene. <3
And hell yes, Eun Ho and Bo Ra became friends! :))))
