Finally some sanity! I had a friend like Saint. He sets off alarm bells.

I guarantee that Saint is toxic. He’s a manipulative little bitch but he’s really pretty, therefore many on this page will be cheering for him. It won’t surprise me if we eventually learn that Saint is one of the reasons Mon is so dour and withdrawn.

Personally, I would love for this series to have the shy guy with low self-esteem prevail. It’s already clear that So knows how to handle Mon in a positive way that made even Mon’s brother notice. And he got Mon to care about smiling.

I also think that So’s friend dropped a clue for us when he warned So that So doesn’t have much time.

Watching paint dry would be better than Bite Me :)

You and I live in different worlds, but to each his own.

I think it would be a couple of months at least. What I’d like to know is if they’ve started living together. ^_^

This is great. I relived the finale through your words. =)

I love how Sang Woo initiated just about ever new phase in the relationship. And seeing the two in their post-credit domesticated life was the perfect note to end on.

I agree so much!

I saw a clip from the GagaOOlala version on twitter and what I didn't like was that they did what most subtitles do for Korean when someone calls another character "hyung" -- they substituted the character's name.

So the key moment when Sangwoo first addressed Jaeyoung as "hyung" came across as Sangwoo simply addressing Jaeyoung by his name.

I appreciated that the gesture that seemed to sell Sangwoo the most on a "trial period" with Jaeyoung was that hug. In a lot of dramas it would be a kiss instead. A hug speaks to affection and caring at a different level than a kiss.

And because it was a hug we got to see the contented expression on Sangwoo's face, which said it all. He's simply been in hibernation waiting for the right person to wake him up.

With so little time per episode it seems wasteful to have a second couple cutting in, and on top of that Ye Min and Hee Soo’s side story is even more bland than the lead couple’s. Ye Min’s not a likable character to begin with so I don’t feel invested in the outcome.

If there had to be another potential couple then why not have a guy who is chasing after poor, hapless Bong Deok? That way, when he inevitably gets ditched there will still be a consolation prize for him.

As for Seol Won and Cheol Soo, their relationship didn’t seem to progress much. With all the padding in this episode I sense that the writers themselves know this series is one that we the viewers will forget about two months from now.

Yeah. Weak sauce. Seemed so arbitrary.

The Chin and Ue relationship continues to be the only reason to watch this series.

Chin blew it bigtime when he told Ue that he wanted to remain friends. He obviously regrets that now and has clear competition in the form of Pat, who is more confident in his attraction to other boys and has no problem standing up to Chin's territorial behavior.

Chin's girl friend (if not "girlfriend") seems like a secondary pursuit. He does try to use her to make Ue jealous, but no matter how he plays it Ue always seems to end up with the upper hand.

The two remain roommates and share one bed. Given the amount of tension between them I don't know how either one gets a wink of sleep. Chin (the poor guy) seems desperate to cuddle.

Well, they never showed us how he got away from Todd. Did he make a deal?

The writers for this series are too good to provide such a blatant hint at what is going to happen. They might as well have him in a t-shirt that reads "I'm gonna die".

My bet is on Dan being dead at the end. As the ultimate penance over killing Sean's dad he will sacrifice himself to protect the others.

Yeah, like I said a few episodes back, Yok is that buddy of yours who gets his first girlfriend and thinks she's the greatest bipod to ever walk the earth, so without asking anyone he just starts letting her tag along everywhere he goes, including to get-togethers that had always been off-limits to outsiders male or female.

I think this comment nicely captures how fans like us approach the series.

One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen was the breakfast table scene from last week when Zeyn was coming out from under the table and hit his head. Mikey’s mom completely lost it trying not to laugh. After the first “bang!” she kinda holds it together but the second bang totally destroys her and she has to put her head down to hide her laughter.

I’m so glad they left that in.

To get past the idea of 20-minute episodes just think of this as a 2-1/2 hour movie edited into eight parts. Sure, it’s an annoying format, but do people really think a decent story can’t be told in 2-1/2 hours?

But, yeah. Otherwise I can understand the bellyaching. It’s too bad the first episode couldn’t introduce some of the important characters and their milieu, establish their distinct personalities, show how some of them meet and intertwine their lives, and set up a confrontation between the mains for next week. What a fiasco.

Where are people seeing that there will be a Season 3? I thought I must have missed something so I rewatched the ending of the episode until the very last second of the video. Nothing about Season 3.

Has it been announced someplace else?

It sure makes things interesting!
