I'd much rather show her a picture than introduce her to him, that's too awkward @_@

I'm also getting annoyed by the tonal shifts. :/

So... Amp is dating James (is that James? I honestly couldn't see the guy who keeps driving her in either of the scenes he showed up, but it looked like James to me and my old laptop), pregnant with his kid, was jealous of them being a CP and became an anti. It's silly, but sure, okay. The way Bumm 'found out' it was her was beyond dumb, and to post her face without proof was ridiculous. She could get sued or something lol

Anyway, being a sasaeng and a hater (and a victim of domestic violence, apparently) doesn't make her the killer, and it's too early for a reveal. I'm still voting for Anda's sibling atm.

They usually don't pronounce the last consonant sound, so Amp sounds like "Amm", which is reminiscent of Emma, backwords @_@ But yeah, it was silly and to post her freaking face without proof... lol

It was ridiculous! :X I still think the brother did it, though

Nah, Bumm came to that conclusion too fast and it was really silly.

Haven't seen the scene, weird. Maybe we're getting the 'cut version' and they'll release a full one later? Doesn't sound likely, though

Agreed on the opening credits. I guess their budget is tiny, but ugh

Didn't enjoy this episode much. :/ I hope her mother is also under some sort of enchantment.

He's killed people, enslaved spirits and apparently led a human trafficking ring (or not? but either way, he empowered some weird SAers, which is less bad, but not great.) How can he get redemption for all that?

I didn't recognize her at all, but I hope that's the case!

Okay, Nine isn't just some antagonist: he's a legit villain. What in the soap opera world was that whole thing with Thee and Juno? He's satan~ (my previous theory was that he actually tried to do something to get rid of Juno, but that it backfired and killed Thee - which was really villainous, of course, but somewhat accidental lol)

Hopefully Renji and Time go back on their deal with North and leak the other video :P

Somehow, none of those sasaengs thought View might be Wan's relative? That's just stupid. At least Pla was there to help, whoever she is. I sure hope she's not some sussy baka who's working for Nine...

Poor Wan became the target of a monster in human skin. :( I hope it doesn't take too long for him to realize that breaking up with Third doesn't do him any good, and that quitting like that will just add to his financial burdens @_@

Can't wait to see Juno join the team!!!

I'm with Saw, the AI alterations sounded really bad (as they usually do) I hate that she did that. It doesn't seem like she gives a damn about artistry... But then again, I didn't like that character from the start - she didn't seem to value the "ATEAM" until Phatee showed up, and now she's more about fanservice-y content and AI than real music... :P (I don't get why they need to learn dance other than the most basic moves, btw. They're handling instruments.) Btw, who the hell would want to be in a band _with no drummer_? Those are vital! /coughsXdinaryHeroescoughs

I really don't like the controlling thing Mitarai is trying to pull. It was fine in the first season and okay in the special, but here it was way too over the top for my taste. It's not surprising at all; the friend group already mentioned how possessive and smothering-y (!) Watarai gets when he's in a relationship, so now I guess it's time for us to see that in action. I'm hoping we also get his background this season, so we can understand what made him so insecure. My bet is abandonment issues. @_@

I think his arc is most likely gonna be about him growing and doing better. They'll keep communicating, the friends will keep helping, Watarai will gain some confidence and self-control, Hioki will set boundaries and be more forthcoming et voilá...! Or at least, that's what I'm hoping for. I didn't even know there was a novel before today (I watched season 1 + the special episodes + the first episode of season 2 today lol), so it might just be wishful thinking on my part lol

That's so cute! I'm new to his entire existence, where can I find out more about that? (I watched the entire first season + the special + the season 2 premiere today haha)

Precisely what I needed after a couple of really, really slow romances.

I hope so... If there's only two left, it's gonna be really rushed

I was surprised Lom and Ratha didn't show up much. They're introducing a bunch of characters really late in the show, but not giving them enough screentime, imo

Zai is a creep of the highest order, and though I don't like pathologizing characters, he's clearly the caricature of what media thinks a psychopath is, down to animal cruelty, not knowing right from wrong, and feeling inferior because their impulses aren't accepted. To me at least, it seems very clear that he'd always been like that, and that his family's reaction was supported by his previous behavior: his father clearly said that he was attracted to the lower arts and had tried to learn curses before; his sister said it was a matter of nature even though their mom felt guilty... I've seen people trying to justify his behavior for some reason, but I'm not willing to give a crow-killing, people-cursing, human-trafficking-final-boss, ghost-enslaving, supernatural big-bad SERIAL KILLER_ a pass, and I hope his ending is as bad as he deserves.

(yes, the actor's good, and doing his job.)

I agree that the editing is strange and sometimes it seems like scenes are missing.

Me neither. I'm hoping the ear pods were Anda's so it's more connected to him than it currently seems to be...

As opposed to most commenters, I'm ONLY here for the mystery and don't really care about the romance (it's cute, I guess? I don't hate it being there, but I don't focus on it). If there was no murder and no supernatural weirdness, I wouldn't have started the show XD

Last week, I said one of Anda's parents wanted his bf to break up with him and either blackmailed him, pressured him or paid him to do it, and that his secret alibi was being with one or both of them... Right on the money! That father is such a snobbish, antiquated relic; he doesn't get to decide what is "better" for his adult son when all he is is ashamed! What a control freak! (But if he wanted his son dead, he wouldn't have taken the time to talk to his bf unless he wanted to use that as a distraction... So it makes him look a bit more innocent than before.)

I strongly disagree with Anda's ex: so many people care about who committed a murder precisely because someone they love dearly was the victim. People grieve differently, etc, but the way he put it, like Jinna would understand if it happened to him, was too self-centered, especially since wanting revenge/justice is far more common than not.

That was the worst security guard ever -_- And the whole thing with the online store they knew coincidentally selling Anda's stolen stuff was too much for my taste, but I'll ignore it for now. Hopefully things will get less contrived soon. This coincidence made me think of something, though - what if Dunk lied about getting the buds from that store and he's actually the one who bought Anda's stuff? o_o He couldn't have guessed they'd be haunted...

The reasoning behind Pod's belief that it can't have been Itty is flawed... :X I'm still convinced it was either him or their mom (possibly by accident.) Or, like I said earlier, Dunk; perhaps even Bumm? They're central-ish characters with enough development.

Most other options are too obvious (ex-bf, acting partner, homophobic father) or too superficial (Amp who barely appears, Risa who has no depth yet, the comic relief friends, characters who were seen once or twice in 5 episodes such as Pod's brother), at least until we get further evidence. Unless one of these 'irrelevant' people suddenly starts showing up more and develops a potential motive, I can't see them pinning the blame on a 'who was that, again?' type character.
