I've never felt grief in my life, young as I am, but I feel torn apart after seeing Baek Hyun Woo alone. Show went from a 9.5/10 to a 0/10, ask me again when I've sorted myself out.
This episode definitely cemented that Ongsa is kind of a self-insert. Makeover trope, which let's be real, wasn't…
That's how teens are. That's how I was, and even just with my friends, and a lot worse than Sun. Overly jealous and hated other people getting near "my people". But being in my 20s now I have long overgrown it and wish I hadn't let it get so bad. It's extremely realistic, at least. The makeover? Non-existent, but they tried. I guess. I'm just having fun watching!
Why the errors? Why the social media subplot? Why the stalker?? As if there wasn't enough conflict as is wtf...…
The show has an 8.8 rating and is pretty globally famous. So it's pretty safe to say it's still a good show. Sadly it hasn't met your standards, but the show is deep and brings more than just a love story. But I am very glad you're being nice about it, and I hope I'm not coming off as too rude!

Hard when they don't have a massive budget. They did a great job with what they had, as far as we know. And the tonal shift is sudden, but invites us to reconsider the entire show up until that point and I enjoy shows that dare make us question everything we thought we knew.

Well you see they're all justified because they were the plot. It was about Myungha fighting obstacles he created and learning to love, and it was never a game, it all a dead man's last wish- a second chance. The original start of the show was a lie- it was never a cute game, it was the inner workings of death and life. So of course we couldn't continue that lie, we needed to realise what was actually going on.
Y'all can't go into a cute, fluffy show with the thoughts "This needs to be better than this", "I hope the characters are deep and complex", "If I don't love it then it's because it lacks something", "I sure wish these 17 year old kids aren't cringe and child-like" and then say the show is bad because you expected something that you were never promised. A show isn't bad because you find its elements subpar or not to your taste, a show is bad if it doesn't live up to what it promised. And two episodes in, I am seeing exactly what I expected. Which is a good thing.
Also, if you don't want to watch cringe teenage girls fall in love then this might not be for you. Can we just enjoy this show, and stop ripping it to pieces at 2 episodes? Let us breathe for at least 2 more weeks, then we can gladly pick up these discussions again.
