Italophilia

"You dare forget about me"

Seems like a line from Playful Kiss right before she got kissed...and sure enough, that's what happens. LOL

Som's got a nice friend group

So nice to see her super supportive friend group. And her parents are nice too, but I think they haven't seen her report card yet... LOL

I don't get Chad's motivations

In this version of A Love So Beautiful, the FL (Som) and ML (Chad) are much closer in some ways. Plus, the FL hasn't been bugging the FL saying "I like you," which happened in the C and K versions. So, I don't get it, what's Chad's reason for avoiding Som and being kind of mean to her?

Where's the betrayal?

There's still a piece I'm missing. Where's the betrayal? Was it the bet about whether Miyata-kun would show up? Yet, it was Hoshizawa Senpai who was at the train station alone and waiting. Miyata-kun talks about losing. Does he think his own feelings in high school were more than Senpai's? And he now says he was just being teased then, so he must think Senpai didn't actually care at all.

They hooked up before knowing they're in the same company

So, that's the positive thing, even though they still have to hide it. I'm still clueless about the naga in Lin's nightmare, but I like Mos and Bank's chemistry for sure. It looks we'll have another 2 couples.

Young and old MLs

The young and old versions of the MLs are almost identical to me, which makes the flashbacks so much more believable. It's amazing. I'm enjoying this slow burn where Senpai keeps revealing a little bit of himself and Miyata-kun keeps refusing to believe him. It makes me very curious that in the short while (weeks?) that they have been working together, each of them have already changed. How deep was that connection in their youth?

We finally get Hayama's POV

Yuki misunderstood what he overheard. Because he started to or already had feelings for Asami, it was really hard for him to overhear that Asami had feelings for someone else, not realizing that Asami was talking about him. And, here's Asami looking confident on the outside and having this crush on Yuki for several years. Instead of telling him outright, he concocts this elaborate scheme of rehearsing for the drama.

Why did you keep pushing her away, TenTen?

TenTen, you're the one who kept putting ideas in her head that she and King are more suited to each other. Yet, I can see that regret on your face as you start to realize your mistake.

King succeeds finally

Whatever Taliw's motivation is, King finally succeeds in having a girlfriend after so many years of pining for her. He does treat her so well and is really one of her closest friends.

My heart feels a little broken

I'm still confused on Hayama-san's intent. Whether he truly wanted to only help Shirasaki on his scenes and whether that changed over time. Or maybe that was his only intent and it was still fun so he continued to do it.But I feel for Yuki who has overheard that Hayama-san continues to pine for someone he likes, Yuki seems to really have fallen for him and it will just be worse he stays on this path of pretend.

Fate vs. coincidence

For the last 15 years, Im Sol has denied Sun Jae her very existence to protect him... only to coincidentally run into him at the awards gala. And for her, the fact that he breathes at all, the fact that he lives in the world is good enough. The sacrifice is worth it because she was around the times when he no longer existed and it was unbearable.But Fate has other ideas and has brought them around each other's orbit once again. The show has gripped me like few dramas have. I rarely like time travel shows, but this was so incredible well done.

So unpredictable

I really couldn't figure out how she would get herself out of this latest episode's mess. I was bawling. That last scene gave me much-needed hope.

Cliffhanger?

Park obviously did it, but what with the cliffhanger? Ugh. I didn't know there a season 3 not was I planning to watch it. What do to?

I'm smiling

That last scene between Kit and Ming was precious. All 3 couples are now official. I'm so happy. Hia Kieng is scary so I hope Ming survives his stay at Kit's home.

Hilarious

Theories abound. So, Jung Ki Sub generally goes with the flow and says yes to anyone who asks him out, asks for his number. But, it seems like for the first time, there's something he himself wants - he want to go out with Jin Woo, but he wants Jin Woo to ask him out because he knows Jin Woo likes him. But Jin Woo is so resistant to this whole idea because he thinks of Ki Sub as a player. Oh, what a chaotic mess.
