We Need To Normalize Un-happy Endings.
Personally, I think this drama was made to give us high blood pressure and headache, cuz what the hell? The lead was so frustrating I hate Wednesday & Thursdays now. His miscommunication was also sooo frustrating, in the finale, when he was running to confess, and I should have probably been going awww, my arse went: 'Dude, breathe on your time, hurry the eff up so I can go to bed.' Cuz, WTF? Seriously, I contemplated asking Chatgpt how to virtually slap someone with a rubber chicken, cuz dafug?
Also, did anyone care about that gl couple? What even was their purpose in this story? Were they supposed to be here? Like, does the director knows they in this drama? They were so uninteresting they could have been replaced by a house plant and it wouldn't have made a damn difference to the story. They were like an after thought, like they sneaked into the drama. I blinked and that one girl was confessing cuz apparently the other girl touched her book one time? Okay, good luck I guess.
Listen, this whole drama was like a sad merry go around that played clown music. The whole plot is cuz one dude who in certain angles looked 23% like Barcode before he levelled up to werewolf, is in love with his best friend, who acts like that one friend who owes you money, but he's so enduring you don't have the heart to ask him for it. And it's fine, have a crush on your best friend Susan, you are entitled. But dude woke up one Tuesday, confessed so vaguely, got misunderstood and made it his whole personality. Mfker walking around writing in his dairy about how the best friend don't like him back, so his solution after the misunderstanding is to stop being his friend and just frustrate the hell out of the poor boy. And it goes on in circle for 8 agonising episodes. And the worse part, we all can clearly see the best friend likes him back. Dishonor on your effing cow.
This is literally the plot of every episode:
Ba Woo: I like him so much, but he only wants to be my friend.
Second lead: Tell him, be specific. Say, 'I like you, like, like like you'.
Ba Woo: No, he won't get it. I'll just stop being his friend.
Lead: Why are you so distant now my best friend forever?
Ba Woo: I don't want to be your friend. Stay away from me.
Lead: Why? Tell me what's wrong, I'll do anything for you.
Ba Woo: No, stay away. Let's not be friends forever and ever.
Me: Hug a cactus Sharon.
Seriously, people who can't communicate shouldn't be allowed to have crushes. I felt so bad for Ji Hoon cuz Ba Woo just frustrated the heck out of this boy, and he tried everything to stay being his friend. Sure we can say Ba Woo took a chance and when it didn't go his way he stepped back, but this dude didn't just step back, he acted in a way that hurt both himself and Ji Hoon. Dafug you mean, 'No Ji Hoon you don't like me.' Janet are you in his head? Is his feelings your feelings Bob? Arrrggg this boy!
Then that one in-betweener dude start having feelings for Ba Woo? I was like: 'Hey hey hey, my brother, let us have peace, please. Have a crush on your own time. Even the current relationship we don't know where it's heading, and you wanna come add your problem on top of our matter. If you don't go sit somewhere.' Also why the eff you gonna fall for that frustrating hair net? You know his communication skills on the same level as one of them no-reply automatic emails.
Finale:
Was just as frustrating, Ba Woo rejects Ji Hoon, says he doesn't want to be friends and ran away, again. Ji Hoon stands there without moving going 'oh nooo, Ba Woo, don't gooo.' Then he confesses his feelings for Ba Woo to his guitar, you know, cuz why not. Finally after some nonsense, second lead looking like someone stole his lunch and a dairy entry later, Ba Woo finally comes to his senses, and runs to Ji Hoon. Then he's confessing and I'm just looking at him like, 'Oh give over, the charm is gone, I am so over you now.' I should be awww-ing and happy, but I just... I've had enough. Booooo to your happy ending, although you were all cute and stuff. Boooo.
And like, I get it. First crush, best friends, scared of losing each other, but come on Janet, just communicate, please. Like, if you think Ji Hoon is a pumpkin, just spell it out for him. They dragged this so much with misunderstandings and miscommunication, I think I started growing white hairs from screaming at my screen for them to talk. Like, speak children, speak.
All in all, arite. This gave me such a headache, I couldn't bring myself to fully enjoy their happy ending. The plot is nothing special, your typical secret crush on best friend story, but with a side of frustration that makes you wanna reach into the screen and slap yourself a lead. But it had it's cute and funny moments, so there's that. The male lead, bless his heart, was likeable, the second lead was fine too, I guess. The main lead...yeah, he was in the drama. And that gl couple were there to fill in the time, so don't expect anything from them.
It's a light romance bl, so watch it if you want, but be warn you might be pulling your hair. The leads weren't bad, but the plot was frustrating. Still, it's watchable, so if you have more patient than I did, give it a chance.
K-bls needs to step up this year, like, why are you on the floor? It's only May.
