Every week I am so impressed by the kid who plays Tane!

I think that's part of the character to be fair. It's not that he doesn't feel those things, he just feels like it's more important to be a force for good. I have a feeling in the next two episodes things won't go as smoothly. That will be the real test of Eli's feelings for him - if he can handle a Nikko that doesn't always make him feel good. People often think they're ready to be there for somebody who's experiencing medical hardship until they're faced with the realities. I hope Eli and Justin are going to get over their differences as Nikko needs them more and more.

I called it back during the episode when Nico said something about being prepared to die or something along those lines 😅 I keep waiting for Mandy Moore to pop up, but I think we'll have to keep waiting.

I feel like they cut a ton of scenes, including how Mudaeng even knows about the ceremony. Perhaps they could have kept the amnesia plotline to one episode; then they would have had time for all the scenes they cut...

I agree - the camp is what made me love this show in the beginning, but then the amnesia plotline went on for way too long and made the whole show too angsty. The cooking competition was exactly the level of ridiculous I wish the last several episodes had been.

I agree. He deserves to have a nice, undramatic relationship 😅

The fact that they styled Jae Hyun and Joo Won the same during their little fight scene made me think this is going in a direction of exposing Jae Hyun's controlling tendencies. A bit like looking in the mirror... But no, it seems as though there's no expectation of Jae Hyun to change and become less controlling and stalkerish.

Right? I loved the dance scene because you could tell how much fun the actors were having. Plus, switching between them dancing happily and Bamee crying on the couch was comedic gold. I'm honestly surprised they went for real drama at all in the last couple of episodes - it was unnecessary when they could have continued the humor with the same general plot points.

I feel oddly betrayed. The Tyra Banks, "We were all rooting for you," meme would be perfect here.

I thought up until a couple of episodes ago that a lot of this was done tongue-in-cheek, and that the writer and director were going for humor. Now, I'm thinking I might have given them too much credit... If they don't find someway to twist this to make sense in these last two episodes, I'll be really disappointed. I love shows with strange, experimental concepts (like The Miracle of the Teddy Bear or Triage), but they should be executed well, regardless of budget. Writing something that makes sense is free, and there are lots of low-budget ways to tell a good story. Hopefully they pull this together before the end!

I know my tropes - I hope this has a happy ending. I just don't know how.

Yep, pretty much. Anybody in their world who has the same condition he has goes deaf when it's raining, but they can hear their soulmate speak. So whatever their soulmate is saying, whether it's directed towards them or not, they can hear when it rains.

He's talking to his soulmate (or really, his soulmate is talking to him). Hope that helps!

I actually really recommend the show, probably because I like the writer and director's sense of humor.

What a great reminder that Bamee was a total jerk at the beginning of the show, too. His behavior now is weirdly in character for him.
Also, I'll only be accepting angry sponge baths in BLs from now on.

Haha yeah, a lot of schools have actually dropped D. Some consider 65-69 to be a D, and 64- to be F. It's a bit strange 😅

I hope I'm wrong, though, because I don't know if I can handle going through that again. I cried more in that movie as a teenager and then I have in any other movie.

I think a lot of people use the grading scale like we do in the American school system (I can't speak to any other school systems). So 10 is A+, 9 is A, 8 is B, 7 is C, 6 or below is an F. Anything in the 7 range is seen as average or slightly below average. At least, I think that's why you see more scores in the 7 to 10 range, because people don't want to give things what's perceived as a failing score.

I'm getting strong A Walk to Remember vibes from this...

Run-down of episode 10:
"Mom loved this" - puts mug in a drawer where no one can see it
Every time they touch, they realize they're better as father and son
"They're your ancestors now" - truly the most romantic thing anybody said in the entire show, and Tin completely ignores it
Tin is worried about not being cute anymore, then proceeds to nag Park like they've been married for 40 years
They're father and son
Seriously, angry signs on his bedroom door?? - definitely father and son
"I can apologize to you 100 times" - barely apologizes once
Are we supposed to know any of Tin's school friends' names? Like, even one?
"Are you free on Saturday?" "Yes." "Movie?" "Sorry, I can't. Big event. Huge event."
Tin blocking his ears and hiding in his room - literally a father and his son
Wait, is that his mom?? Why are we doing this with 15 minutes left in the show? This is the most emotional intelligence Tin has shown, and it's anger at his mom
Why did they save Tin's best bit of acting for the last 10 minutes? This should have been the whole show.
"It's good if your mom abandons you. That way you can be with me forever" - cue terrible cartoon music
Did Tin just turn down sex?? Where is the Tin who's been acosting Park everyday?
It takes Tin 3 to 5 business days to realize he's being proposed to
They have literally zero romantic chemistry. How did I watch 10 episodes of this?

I'm surprised that even though they forced a small child into almost every 5 minutes of this show, there's only one little girl in the last episode. I guess we should be grateful for small blessings?
