Ok I'm so done and disappointed. Ep 5&6 were supposed to be the turning point, where we would FINALLY get Jiwoo's reasoning and all his inner feelings and thoughts, and it ends with him almost going back to his ex?? WHAT THE ACTUAL FVCK. I'm honestly done with both seojoon and jiwoo. Seojoon for not realizing that jiwoo is just not worth his time and not moving on and jiwoo well, its pretty obvious. Episode 6 was the draggiest episode ever and we got almost no substance of anything. I can't even believe I'm saying this but I don't even want them to end up together at this point.
Sequels have a nasty habit of breaking up established relationships, it's kind of tiresome. While I'm enjoying…
That's the problem though, both jiwoo and seojoon are incomplete characters. They can't work through these problems together currently because both of them are so broken internally that it creates an unhealthy relationship dependency. It was necessary to break them up to show them both develop on their own before they are ready to be in a relationship. Jiwoo needs to realize the importance of his relationship with seojoon and fight to win him back and that is only possible to see once he's lost him.
What did you guys expect from season 2? A perfect domestic life? There was a need for season 2 to explore these characters more deeply. Just because they ended happily in season 1 doesn't mean that their relationship was perfect. Conflicts arise especially through lack of communication. Obviously I can't excuse jiwoo leaving, but these characters are flawed and make mistakes. What's important is that they learn and are willing to grow. Jiwoo is insecure and lacks self confidence and seojoon is overbearing. But these characters are deep and these insecurities stem from years of childhood trauma (abandonment issues for both jw and sj). Just because we haven't seen jiwoo's perspective yet doesn't mean that he isn't suffering as well. I'm sure we'll get more clarity in later episodes.
Episodes 3&4 were again done beautifully. Episode 3 was mostly just jiwoo hurting seojoon in ways that triggered my fight response XD I really don't like jiwoo right now especially after what he did in episode 4. I still like episode 4 more though because it gave a bit more backstory to seojoon. When both of them were looking for the girl, the scene felt very frantic obviously but it also felt emotional in a strange sort of way. Seojoon getting alarmed when hearing the cat, we got to see a bit of his backstory and I really hope we delve further into it in later episodes. He also mentioned to yoon ha how he knows the feeling of not being picked up by his parents which made me feel so bad for him omg. The kiss was nice, really well done but it was just a kiss. Jiwoo had no reason to do that and I fear that he's just going to back to the way he was treating seojoon before. I guess we'll just have to wait for the real backstories and his insecurities to reveal themselves.
I really don't care about the new characters, The ex is just shitty and while the mom and kid are nice, the kid kinda annoyed me this episode because she just ran away for literally the dumbest reason. i actually wanna see more of pil hyun and ho min I lowkey miss them and their friendship with seojoon from season 1
I don't understand why writers may believe it's fun to have their audience sit through tragedies of the heart.…
Just think about it, the entire season just being about seojoon and jiwoo being together and navigating through their problems doesn't allow for much character growth. By separating them, we're able to look way more deeper into these characters and how they were before they met each other, their personalities and backstories and insecurities will be revealed and I think that makes for a much more interesting story. You haven't even watched the full show yet, how do you even know that they aren't going to tackle sj and jw finding the balance in their vastly different lives? They haven't undone any of the progress from season 1, these issues have been prominent since then and its important to tackle them and get through them. Avoiding and ignoring the trauma jw has doesn't help their relationship, we need to see him willing to overcome it and see himself as someone deserving of love and going to sj. It's ok for there to be a negative side, there always will be. It's important for it to be depressing and angsty because then it only makes it much more worthwhile to see them happy together again
Sure there is an ex-gf plot line but we haven't seen how they'll handle it yet, maybe it will act as a way for seojoon and jiwoo to grow closer and maybe there's a deeper reason to as to why jiwoo left. It's only the first two episodes and I trust hwang da seul who will show us the backstories of these characters and create depth behind their actions.
The awkward moment when I can't decide if I don't like Seo Joon the character and the way he acts since season…
tbh i wasnt a fan of seojoon in s1 party because of woohyun's delivery and partly because of the script. there always seemed to be some ambiguity whenever he said a line like he wasn't sure if what he was saying was right and didn't know what mood to convey it in so seojoon just came off as this sarcastic guy. I think it has improved in s2 though because so far the script seems pretty solid and the line delivery is good
Going to summarize my thoughts after watching ep1&2 here: First of all, it was very visually pleasing, gorgeous to look at and it had this sort of soft autumn theme to it. The editing, music and shots were done good and they came together really well. I loved the brilliant way of showing flashbacks of certain moments through seojoon and those came off as really bittersweet, as a way of seojoon reminiscing his once happy moments with han jiwoo as they are gone now. I like the old characters ho min and and pilhyun are great as usual. The mixture between comedy and angst was really done well and there were tear jerking moments as well as ones where i was laughing my ass off (thanks to seojoon he really is a comedy genius). I like the new characters especially the sassy daughter and the mom. I like how the older people are not a fan of han jiwoo (a little bit of a revenge for being such an *sshole). I'm not a fan of the b*tchy ex though like what was the reason for han jiwoo to have two women while seojoon having literally nothing??? Han jiwoo better feel so shitty for leaving istg or else. Anyway I like it so far so let's just see how it keeps going. A solid 8/10 right now :)
Also sing and gap are kinda getting on my nerves...... we're halfway through and I'm honestly not even sure if they are supposed to be a side cp at this point? i don't understand why sing treats gap so shit its just annoying not humorous
Ok, I'm just really confused right now. It feels like i missed some background chapter because tol and tin are childhood friends? like did they ever mention this somewhere else?
God i had absolutely no idea how much angst s2 for this show would bring :( I just really hope they end up together happily. The trailer was amazing we got to see so many emotions (I especially love the part where seojoon got so mad at jiwoo for not saying whats in his heart) and domestic moments between the two. I am so confident that this will be the next smashing bl after se and I cannot wait to watch it!
WOAHH This episode was really depressing but I'm glad tin finally figured out what he is supposed to do now, but will travelling a week be enough? Wouldn't tol and mai still have been together around that time? I feel like in order to tin to actually have an affect on tol he needs a minimum of 2 months atleast hmmm
I just wanna understand tin's thought process....like did he think kissing tol would make him stay?? LMFAOO i really dont get it. But I still would like to see more of them together, today's episode was cute but they just spent a day together I wanna see more of a progression in their relationship
Hello? I would like to ask international fans their thoughts about the character Jinta? That character is not…
Hmmmm......now that I know Jinta was never originally in the novel, I'm curious as to why they included him. Is he just like a sort of helper that will speed to story up whenever tin gets stuck? Ngl, I kinda feel like it would've been better without his character or if they included him at the end. I would've really liked for tin to figure out things as he goes through them instead of their just being some mastermind refusing to help out which just makes things more frustrating because he knows everything.
I really don't care about the new characters, The ex is just shitty and while the mom and kid are nice, the kid kinda annoyed me this episode because she just ran away for literally the dumbest reason. i actually wanna see more of pil hyun and ho min I lowkey miss them and their friendship with seojoon from season 1
