Kaleidoscopic

Have been seeing this discussion everywhere so just want to throw my two cents in - unlike the popular opinion of 3rd guy being the best, it is actually the 4th guy I like best and who I think Rose can finally have a lasting, proper, mature relationship with where both sides are level-headed and equal in emotional involvement. Of course, thrown in with good ol' flirting and passion. 4th guy is the only one out of them all who doesn't get consumed by Rose the moment he lays eyes on her LMAO. Very natural tempo, on the low as is appropriate for a crush and rising interest. They actually had time to connect without hormones blinding them. I have no doubt that they will date after his 1 year study period is over. And unlike what I had initially expected from this arc, they actually did have chemistry. Too bad we didn't get to see the after in the special episode. Oh well.

As for the drama itself.......starts out with a bang but is ultimately pointless. Shame.

haha your welcome

Kyaaaaa! Yesssssss! Though this will be the first time I catch it live....oh no......should I live-watch it or do what I normally do and save this to binge at the end? DO I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DO THE LATTER?! TT_TT

Not the same, this is a semi-remake. Remember the script the ML writes at the end of the movie? This is supposed to be that, with him doing things differently and changing their ending. Or maybe it is a parallel universe he dreamed about. But you get the point.

They only reveal everything about him around ep 35

He is actually a good guy. He is only pretending to be evil to protect the ML and expose the villains from the inside. This only gets revealed towards the very end though.

I could tell you but it will be a major spoiler. Is that ok?

Finished it and????? so they just decided to completely forget about the Queen aging down which, knowing the whole plot......

??????

I mean sure, it could be to keep the road open for S2 but seems quite stupid that Li Bing NEVER thought of it.

Things to take away from ep 16:-

1) HW, unsurprisingly, is still very much in love with HH.

2) CJxDH, goodbye my loves. Maybe in a parallel universe.....😭😭😭😭

That's it. And oh! Does YJ have a cult? Am I going to have a believer come knocking on my door soon to tell me about their lord and savior?

There had been rumors before the show started that JWxJE will be endgame. Of course, that is just ONE of the several rumors floating around. Nevertheless, it is an exciting possibility to think about. There was the Haeeun and Hyungyu couple from last season which happened over a short period of time as well and despite the girl being very much into her ex so if that happens now as well, it will be fun. Makes for a nice story. Jongeun also comes off as pretty cool and Juwon is well-liked so it all comes together. IF. Who knows, let's see.

Ep 15:-

First of all, a round of applause for the ladies, especially Seokyung, for doing what the men didn't have the balls to do and saving this episode. THANK YOU. I have to admit, for the thousands of ways I had envisioned the JExJW drama happening or not happening, never in a million years could I have imagined it happening because of SK being petty ROFLMAO. It will be divine retribution if it actually becomes endgame and I will be HERE for it. Had been on the verge of dropping this but Seokyung, being the toxic queen we all knew she is, gave the show a new life LMAO. Girl, keep at it. Wreck havoc.

As for the others - Changjin needs to grow a backbone, still don't know how Yujung has managed to evade the weekly witch-hunts, Hyewon was being....Hyewon. Though at least DJxHW feels way more genuine than JWxYJ. KT & HH being the therapists of the night was hilarious.

P.S. Previews are misleading but just to take the ep 16 one on face value for the moment - Hyewon cracked me up. Hwihyun could be on the other side of the damn planet and sneeze in the general east direction and Hyewon would be like "Omg! Does he like me?!!"

I can just imagine the devastation he must have felt to finally hear her say love after months of dating, but in the negative. Poor guy.

Yeah....and there's a HUGE difference between not saying I love you and saying "I don't love you". I mean I like her otherwise (AND I am rooting for her to bring some drama into Juwon's life) so this is not to hate on her in general but really hated how she couldn't even say a simple "I did not regret our relationship" to Kwangtae at the end. I get being honest but girl come on, there's a time and place for it. Besides, it is not like she didn't lie with the "I don't love you" thing already so she could have totally said a white lie there and given Kwangtae some peace and closure. It is not like the world will end *eyeroll*. Stop adding to the trauma if you really know where you were wrong.

Oh they have loads of chemistry! But alas! I do think that Dahye can still get serious....if only she feels that Changjin wants to as well. But Changjin is way too hung up over his ex which in turn also makes her close herself off and keep going back to Dongjin. It is funny because both of them are people whose exes haven't given them even an atom-sized hope of getting back together but they still. refuse. to. move. on. Dahye I can still understand but Changjin, man, come ON.

Finally some baby steps between Hwihyun and Seokyung! I want them both to breathe some new life into each other and the show. Too bad about the Dongjin date, such a wasted opportunity. If only HH & SK had talked more before that. The possibility of a late surprising couple is the only thing keeping me afloat with the JWxCatfish rumor losing more & more ground to stand on.

Dahye Changjin PLEASE notice what you two have and stop going after your exes!

Jongeun is great and she better leave the house with a man. Liked her date with Dongjin more than DJxHW. Funny, considering I had been waiting to see some development in them right from the start but I have honestly gotten tired of them, individually and together.

LMAO love how direct and outspoken Sangjeong is regarding all her messed up ex related feelings. Also love that Minhyung understands and takes it in stride. Was also great to see her little platonic moment with DJ & Juwon.

Speaking of, still not on the Juwon and Yujung train. Theirs is a case of good timing and no other options (in Juwon's case). The only other girls Juwon has gone on dates with are Dahye and Sangjeong. DH was way too early and clearly not over her ex. Sangjeong was more available so Juwon did put in 1% of effort afterwards but SJ had no interest in him. Yujung however was available and invested right as he decided to try it out with other people after the SK fight. And of course, Hyewon was very clearly moping. That is the only reason why JWxYJ have managed to come this far. If YJ were to start something with someone else, Juwon would honestly give up without caring too much. Seokyung is the only one he truly likes so far. Jongeun may have a chance but with so little time left and her going on a date with Changjin next......SIGH.

Now, I haven't been the biggest fan of Kwangtae (neither the biggest hater) but him at the end did make me want to give the poor guy a hug.

P.S. Juwon is so attuned to Seokyung. Did you guys see him whip his head in her direction when she let out a small little sigh after the messages, despite the noise around him? Yeah....

EP 14 Thoughts

No rant this time, phew.

Aww I will hold out hope still

It has been a bit lonely for sure haha

nice to have our own little corner

Hm we have started to go in circles so I think it is best to conclude things here. Apart from ep 13, Hyewon's motivations have always been understandable, that was never the point. Most of my actual criticism of her actions stem from ep 13 which you also agree was not a good look on her. As for Hwihyun who is the main subject, we have completely differing reads on him that are pretty set so I don't think we can debate that any further, especially since that is the crux upon which the whole blame game balance rests. Funnily enough, I had been about to type in my previous comment that HH couldn't have been clearer in their last conversation but you saw his words as the complete opposite. So clearly we are not going to get any further on that.

P.S. Hyewon had started to say "Did you see my message before sending me one?" but trails off because she thought Dongjin said something and, upon realizing that he hadn't, she goes on to repeat the sentence in its entirety. The Korean subtitles also indicate as much. The English one doesn't.

P.P.S. Sangjeong is also my favorite girl. Give me a man version of him and I will be more than willing to fly halfway around the world to propose to him.
