Have fun! It is really good! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

There are clues as to why he acted mean
- scared of getting bullied or getting Tae Kyung in trouble just like he went through in middle school.
- awkward ''first'' meeting.
- Not knowing how to deal with certain situations and feelings since he is shy, awkward , introverted and just a teenager.

Other people explained it further in the comments above.

But I do agree, I would like to see his perspective on that matter.

Well we have seen many times his thoughts, and just by looking at his eyes we can tell what he is feeling.
But I do hope he says to Tae why he was mean to him in the beginning.

I don't think Shin Woo's behaviour can be considered as bullying. Sure he did say that he hates him and to go away but he was trying to keep him away , he was mean but not a bully.He did not started insulting Tae out of the blue,.He only did this when Tae was trying to get close to him. he just built a wall around him to keep himself safe and Tae away. He did say some mean words in ep 3 when they were in the bathroom but it seemed he regretted immediately so he wanted to apologize but he did not get the chance. Shin Woo has a hard time expressing himself. He did not even how to approach his crush properly in the flashback.
I don't think his ''change'' is unnatural. His ears would always get red around Tae and when they were facing the bullies Shin woo was protective of him. There were many hints that Shin Woo liked him from the beginning, but he had his reasons to keep him away.
Let's keep in mind that he is also a teen, he does not know how to deal with some situations. In ep 5 he did not know how to control his jealousy and ended up making a scene in the cafeteria which he immediately regretted. Since then he started trying to express himself better. He started making progress bit by bit by being nicer to Tae and giving space to Da-on and Tae so that they would figure things out.

Maybe in the upcoming episodes we will get a more clear explanation as to why he acted like this. Tae himself might ask him.

I think the person above is right but I would also like to add that Shin Woo is shy and introverted thus he is also awkward with people he is not close with. Now Imagine your crush getting to know you like that ( I am talking g about the poking incident). Of course he was embarassed and was caught off guard. He had many reasons to avoid him but in the end he decided to follow his heart,

I guess we will, let's wait for more eps ( waiting is killing me tho).

I don't think so, Shin Woo met Tae in highschool for the first time. Maybe he gave the bracelet to a friend of his as a gift ( can we normalize guys giving gifts to their male friends?) and he was misunderstood or maybe he had a crush on someone he used to be close with and when he gifted that person a bracelt he was bullied and the rumors started.

The wait is killing me. Wake me up when Tuesday comes, or maybeThursday so I can get douple episodes.

I would die for sure. I am ddictied at this point lol

I think it is obvious that Shin Woo is the lead. Yes fans do get worried because Tae has been crushing on Da-on for many eps but there are many hints that show who the actual male lead is.

Another thing that I noticed is, that in ep 9 when Tae Kyung mentions their first meeting, I saw Shin Woo having a surprised and hopeful expression on his face, For a second he thought that Tae Kyung remembered their very first meeting T_T.

Not me being obsessed and re-watching every Shin Woo x Tae Kyung moment over and over again while I wait for new episodes.

Exactly, he does not show his true self out of fear that he will not be liked from others. He needs to understand that he does not need to be liked by everyone cause realisticaly that is not possible. And it is totally ok to nor be liked by everyone. He needs to form stronger relationships and give priority to the people that actually matter to him.

I feel for him, he acts like that because he is not loved by his family, I wonder what kind of family he has that neglects him when he is being such a good kid.

That is true, Da-on has to work on himself, he has things to fix, he needs to set boundaries cause he is being too nice for his own good, he also needs to come in terms with his sexuality. All of that can make Tae anxious. Shin Woo on the other hand can give to Tae what he wants. Tae wants to feel special by his loved one and Shin Woo will definitely make that happen. Shin Woo also has accepted his sexualityand feelings so they will not have a problem concerning that.

TRUE. He deserves the whole world and universe but the world does not deserve him.

I just realised this. Shin Woo leaves 40 minutes away from school. Tae used to wake up early when he was not an official member of the council so he would clean. In ep 6 Shin Woo was already there and had cleaned for him, meaning that Shin Woo woke up earlier than usual, and despite living far from school, he went out of his way just so that he could be there in time and clean the room for Tae Kyung. My heart is melting. This boy deserves the world.

I am a Shin Woo x Tae Kyung shipper so I want Tae to fall in love with Shin Woo aleady, but my heart akready breaks for Da-on, for many reasons, if he accept himself tho I will be happy for him, it is a step closer to his happiness. Tae and Shin Woo are already in terms with who they are so I think they fit each other.

I will never get over this drama. Such a masterpiece. If you are hesitant about watching it, WATCH IT! or at least give it a try, It is worth it.

Shin woo makes me so soft, he is such a sweetheart.

I love Da-on but I adore Shin-woo, each episode he suprises me by showing another soft side of his, how can a boy be that cute and soft? He has a heart of gold.

I think all Shin Woo shippers put all of their faith in that keychain 😂, please keychain, work your magic and make our soft bois end up together!

If Tae had paid more attention to Shin-woo he would have fallen for him already, it is hard not to love Shin-woo when he is so kind, soft, selfless and mature.

I am team Shin woo too, I loved him since the very first moment and each peisode I love him more and more. I am positive he is endgame. I have written a comment about the hints a few days ago,. The keychain is a major hint, you know the short animation in the end right? there is a keychain between two people holding it, and we saw Shin Woo having this keychain in ep 10. Also if you look up the lyrics of the ending song you will see that the song desrcibes Shin woo's feelings and his relatioship with Tae kyung. Tae and Shin Woo also get many moments in slow motion while music is playing in the background. Let's not forget also that we see Shin woo's thoughts, we see things from his perspective (like in ep 10). We never saw Daon's thoughts that clearly. Shin woo is the main character so he most likely will end up with Tae.
