This episode actually made me slightly uncomfortable in a way that previous ones haven't. It feels as though they've made Tin's character a college student, but are coding him to be underage - his styling, his shyness, his worry that he won't be cute anymore...
What a wild ride! I actually enjoyed this for what it was, which was an experimental look at a revenge story with just a bit of romance on the side. I liked that they were apart at the beginning of the story and are still part of the end, showing that getting revenge doesn't fix everything, and sometimes even makes it worse. Did I completely follow absolutely everything that happened? No. But maybe that was part of its charm?
It appears a lot of people in here really dislike this show, but I've really been appreciating the risks they're taking. They've stepped outside the box and a lot of ways, from cinematography to the way they tell the story to their sets. It's definitely not perfect, but I think that it's good as long as you're just willing to go along for the ride.
ep 7 , so someone is sulking whilst someone else is learning how to skateboard in the tiniest skateboard park…
The tiny skateboard park took me out! Just watching them trying to turn their skateboards around and do tricks in such a tiny area was a delight. It was my favorite part of the episode 😂
While I don't think this show is actually good, there is something fascinating about the writing. They did a really good job of dropping us in the middle of a bunch of messed up family/friend/neighbor relationships and making us feel awkward about it. There are so many scenes where I genuinely feel like I'm intruding on someone else's life - many writers try to capture that feeling, but few are able to.
I find the show really interesting, because I like the premise, and I like almost everything about it except for Book's acting. What's weird is that I can tell in some scenes that he's a good actor, but in others his overacting really is too much. Overacting as a comedic bit is pretty popular in shows like this, and I've seen it done well. I think Book just happens to do better in more serious scenes. This might be partly the director's issue, so I hope in future series he's not told to do such over the top acting.
I had interesting feelings about this one. I usually don't care if characters are physically intimate or not, or if they kiss or not. However, I found it strange that the characters had a lack of intimate knowledge of each other. In the last episode, it felt like they were just starting to get to know each other on a deeper level, even though they had been together for 2 years. I think I would have enjoyed it more if there is a bit more explanation around why they were so delayed in the development of their relationship. Even in bromances, the two characters know more about each other. It was still a cute watch, and I like the characters in general.
The pacing on this is atrocious, but for some reason I don't hate the show. I'm such a sucker for a jealousy plot line, and I'm really crossing my fingers that this show delivers on that in the next couple of episodes.
I'm glad I didn't start watching this when there were only bad English subtitles, because it seems as though that's really ruined it for a lot of people. This isn't the best show I've ever seen, but it definitely isn't the worst. The chemistry is cute, and the plot is just a basic enemies to lovers romance.
Episode 1 has me laughing so hard, but also I hope people are understanding the message behind the infamous cake. I don't think Itt actually cares about the cake at all. He just wants to spend quality time with Day, and Day keeps breaking his promise to take Itt out. Of course, Itt could just be a mature adult and say that directly, but that might be asking a bit much from him right now 🤣
Why are people hating on Ben so much for denying him. We know that Ben really cares about what his dad thinks…
My thoughts exactly! I don't think he made the right decision, but I'm not sure what else could be expected of him when his father is so clearly a violent man. He might have just saved himself from being beaten up. We all want to think that we would make the morally right decision in tough situations, but I think most of us would be a Ben.
the way Seon Ho looked like he was talking to someone shorter in the confession scene absolutely threw me off…
I came to the comment section just to find this. I kept wondering what he was looking at the whole time. At first I thought he might be a little shy and was looking at his shoulder or something, but then it became very clear that they just didn't reshoot the scene. Hopefully we don't have any other scenes like that in the last episode!
I haven't cried at a TV show in a really long time, but this one got me three times! The worst part was having to see all those scenes of the possible future they could have had together when they were older. I know they played it at the end of every episode, but it just felt so cruel this time around. This show is definitely going to sit with me for a while.
I wonder if there's a term for emotional Munchausen by proxy, because whatever it is, that's what Jung Hyun has. I think he genuinely cares for Jung Woo, but it's a very possessive, unhealthy love. It's so sad to see the pathetic state he's kept Jung Woo in.
It was still a cute watch, and I like the characters in general.
