Honestly not interested in the puppy love thing going on between Shi Hyun and Tae Hee. I expected the friendship between the 3 to be more sacred than this fling. Joy is badly casted. Not talking about her acting, her acting is alright, but frankly her overall image does not suit the theme of this drama. She’s really restricting the scripting and editing of the remaining episodes. I think most viewers in South Korea picked up this show because of Joy, and as her fans they’re are expecting a lighter teenage drama. Seems like the director and writer are changing the direction of this story now. Not happy with where this is going. More Soo Ji and Se Joo please!
Sadly yes, it was obvious from the moment they cast a kpop singer as one of the main leads. I came for Woo Do…
Same. Skipped all the Shi Hyun and Tae Hee scenes and stopped only when I see Soo Ji, Se Joo or the 3 or them together. SH and TH are so predictable. And so unrealistic at the same time. Like the writer is seriously purposefully creating scenarios where Shi Hyun pours his heart out to Tae Hee about stuff his other 2 friends wouldn’t know about. Honestly, doesn’t make sense because doesn’t matter how much you like this girl people would always go to their 10 year pals to share their deepest feelings. Unless the girl you like is your 2 year girlfriend which makes her almost like your closest pals.
Me too :)) I love Blair Wadolf from the start until the end. She plots against even her best friend Serena. Sometimes,…
True. I think Moon Ga Young acts pretty well, but perhaps if she had more calm and cynical scenes like Leighton had, people would have a bigger girl crush on Soo Ji. But I do remember Leighton being hysterical sometimes, like when she’s screaming at her minions, her Polish maid or at Serena. Also, Tae Hee reminds me of Jenny. Jenny was loved at first but gradually got more boring because seriously, who wants to watch a kind person being nice all the time. So not realistic. That’s why they made Jenny’s character darker in the later seasons. Tae Hee’s character would have gone down the same road if there were more episodes to this drama.
Soo Ji reminds me of Blair Waldarf and I love how complex and obsessive she gets over protecting herself and the closest people around her. Despite her vengeful tendencies which supporters of Tae Hee would hate, I would never forget how she would always be there for Se Joo and Shi Hyun when something happens. Stuff like throwing the trash can at that guy who talked about Shi Hyun's mum, pricking that perverted school teacher when he tried to take advantage of a female student, panicking when Se Joo got dragged away by those bodyguards or giving advice when they both get reprimanded by their fathers. She remembers all the important stuff like when Shi Hyun checks in and out of the hospital, and accompanies Se Joo whenever he needs an injection. She stands by and stands up for her friends and her mother - whom she thinks she hates. She's straightforward to the adults about protecting Shi Hyun's home, she protects her mom's pride by not speaking about what she knows about Shi Hyun's dad seeing another woman. She calls up the Secretary when Shi Hyun needs an adult to take him home, and also sometimes hints the Secretary to help her mother out. In fact, I think she's pretty mature, sensitive and thoughtful.
Yes, she may be manipulative, but to be frank, everyone in their circle are manipulative in order to survive. She simply has the skills to deal with people like that dork's fat mother (forgot their names). We've seen how she was openly shunned in school previously when her father was jailed, and again openly insulted at that lounge when her ex dumped her. People in high society does stuff like that to each other, they would grab at anyone's weakness and rub salt in their wounds, so she really needs to learn how to act all haughty and entitled at an early age if she doesnt want to be treated like an idiot or outsider (examples are sheltered kids like Tae Hee's best friend, and that dork with the fat mom). I haven't seen a single adult in this show that's pure and naive, even kyung joo's mother has some tricks up her sleeve. Why do we keep criticising Soo Ji and her attitude when we know every high society child is eventually going to be manipulative anyway in order to protect their reputation, their families and their companies? It's only a matter of time.
Also, Tae Hee is not as innocent as she seems. She was just fortunate to be smart, pretty, had a law professor for a father, and studied in ordinary schools. I would agree with Soo Ji that she's had a better life in comparison. Her only issue is her parents' divorce and a car accident. But really, every other kid in this show has a dysfunctional family too, and some have actually experienced deaths of loved ones, and parents turning into criminals. And for a supposedly kind person, she seems to learn quite quickly about how to deliver hurtful words (to Soo Ji at the pool), and how to play games. Leaving the villa early would obviously show that you were uncomfortable. It's clearly passive aggressive. I would never do that if I planned to keep my unhappiness low profile. And then so openly flirting when Shi Hyun came looking for her. It's really what I would do and how I predict my boyfriend would behave if I left one of his friend's gatherings. I would say stuff like I'm fine but my face would show otherwise, and then ask to do what he suggested, like watching the stars or the Christmas lights. But only after he has proven I'm his top priority by coming with me when I leave a gathering.
This show has been pretty unfair to Soo Ji. The story started from the point when she was at her lowest and when she came up with all her revenge ideas. We didnt see enough of her good side, which we know she has. And seriously, all these seduction games were conceptualised by the boys. They've been doing it to their own targets years ago. Just because the guys' games were scripted like comedy, and Soo Ji's game scripted like a melodrama doesn't make her worse than Shi Hyun and Se Joo. We just happened to be an audience that saw a little more of Tae Hee's side of the story. Stop hating on Soo Ji people.
