Given what the top reviews have pointed out, I’m almost sure I won’t like this drama. Despite knowing this, I kind of still want to watch it for Lee Rang and his relationship with his brother :(( It’s been so long since I’ve watched a drama with a well-written sibling relationship. (Yes, I’m aware this comment is pointless haha ><)
perhaps he said kang sol and didnt elaborate further if it was A or B. then Sol A just assumed that it was B?…
I don’t think he’s ever answered that question. As I see it, it’s quite obvious that Joon Hwi loves Sol A. However Joon Hwi is an extremely caring person and so he will go to great lengths to help whoever is in need and that includes Sol B. Basically he cares for the whole Law School gang but he is different around Sol A. The changes in his behaviour aren’t obvious but the way his gaze and voice soften when he is around Sol A is quite telling.
I agree with you when you said that Sol A assumed that Joon Hwi meant Sol B. It makes sense she would think so since she isn’t fully aware of how close she is to Joon Hwi. They’ve never tried to question the feelings they have for each other. They’re always there for each other and they just know each other on a much deeper level than the others, but they’re oblivious to it. She also doubts herself a lot and so she might not be able to imagine Joon Hwi being romantically interested in her.
It seems as though the writers intentionally chose not to make Joon Hwi answer that question to confuse the viewers and to allow them to imagine whichever answer they would have liked to hear since “Law School” isn’t about romance.
When he said that he cared for someone in his study group, I immediately thought he meant Sol A because he doesn’t look at the others in the same way he looks at Sol A. It’s only after Sol A teasingly said that he should give the drink to “her roomie whom he cares for” that I realised that there was a lingering doubt over who he meant when he said what he said.
He may have never clearly answered but we all know that the gratefulness he feels towards Sol A is just the expression of his genuine and selfless love for her. (At least, that’s how I see it. They have a wholesome friendship — no doubt about that — but I believe there’s more to it.)
Well... Yeo Joon went radio silence for that night coz he was almost beaten up by his dad - it's not like he ignored…
I completely agree! The first thing (if I remember correctly) we are told about her is how much she studies and how it seems to never be enough but then, as the story progresses, this whole topic is never tackled nor mentioned again :(

Don’t get me wrong (I’m sorry if I haven’t made myself clear), it’s not So Bin as a character that I don’t like but the way se was written. The problems I have with this drama come from the directing and writing not the characters themselves.

Ofc I didn’t mean to take the last episode as an example since obv after what YJ has gone through he wouldn’t want to talk with anyone. However overall the dynamic between Yeo Joon and So Bin as a couple is kinda weird (“weird” isn’t the right adjective but I can’t seem to find a better one).
I have nothing against the romance in this show but the last couple of episodes showed how Yeo Joon wasn’t emotionally ready to be in a relationship. So Bin said nothing on the fact that Yeo Joon went radio silence but isn’t a romantic relationship — any kind of relationships really — supposed to be based on communication (verbal and/or non-verbal)?
Do the people who hate this for not being BL have any other reason that I should consider?Or is it just that??If…
You should definitely give it a try! I believe that this drama is a character-driven one so its main focus is the characters’ interactions with one another and the development of the characters’s relationships — no matter if those relationships are platonic or romantic. The acting is great and the main three characters have good chemistry so it’s a pleasure to see their interactions on screen. Plus, the side characters are also easily likeable or, at least, they’re somehow endearing. Obviously you might not like it but, by giving it a try, you might be able to form your own opinion.
The fact that they could have easily done so — not giving any romance to Soo Hyun — but chose not to is disrespectful.…
I agree with you. Since I haven’t read the webtoon I can’t really compare the two but, giving what you said, they shouldn't have chosen this webtoon if they didn’t want to stick to it. Obviously it’s an adaptation so it’s bound to have changes made but to go as far as changing the characters themselves… it’s hard to understand why they chose this specific webtoon if they have in mind sth totally different. However I’m still glad they did since the webtoon seems to have some beautiful and poignant messages to convey. Again I haven’t read the webtoon so I can only imagine your disappointment.
On a brighter note, episode 7 made me laugh so much but then it tore my heart out. Park Ji Hoon’s portrayal is so accurate and moving… I can’t imagine Yeo Joon being played by anyone else. Every time Yeo Joon gets triggered into thinking about the abuse he has experienced, there’s a complete shift in his expression and Park Ji Hoon acts it so well. Others have pointed how his eyes speak volumes and they really do: from the way he narrows his eyes to the way he successfully captures Yeo Joon’s mixed feelings in his gaze… He is truly brillant.
