The episodes come out in around two hours on viki. I'll rewatch them there and then let you know what they say.

I think the translation is at fault too cause the other interpretation is too much even for this show.

Althought it would still bother me how obvious one could be to think putting up those walls is protecting Seojoon when that only brought him pain and more pain

It's just me theorising, let's hope I'm wrong. Ngl I would be soo disappointed if he gave up his acting career because it would feel out of nowwhere, wrong and unearned.
It might still be a flashback or he moves in the village and still makes acting work. No clue.

Honestly I don't think they should end up together in the end. If there was no season 1 I'd say this season is a perfect depiction of showing a failing toxic relationship because of lack of communication, differences and one of the partners being self destructive, a couple that should just part ways for a better future.

But I'm sure they'll end up together in the end so I think this is how they should do it to make it stomachable at least for me :
They should have Jiwoo cry and apologise for all he's done to Seojoon and show that he truly understands what he did wrong and he regrets it in episode 9. Then Seojoon should reject him for his own benefit. Then there should be a time jump between episode 9 and 10 where they hopefully get some therapy each and SJ gets som time to heal and then somehow they find their way back to each other. (Not sure how, maybe Jiwoo shows up when SJ needs it or sth and shows that he'll be there and not leave in the future. Idk.)

Regardless I feel like there should be at least a couple months time jump and then in the end they agree to give it a try again and do it better this time ( from JW side, he needs to communicate and stop making decisions for the both of them).
It's probably the way I would best accept this....Althought I am deeply disappointed in what they did with Jiwoo this season. I was still hopeful after ep 6 cause I was hoping for a turn around but nope...

I agree. More screentime is needed but I think a season 3 is not going to happen. The last two episodes are probably it

That's the word I would use. Too little too late. Episode 5 and 6 shouldn't have happened. They took Jiwoo too far (as well as some of his reasoning in this episode and only now opening the messages)

Exactly. Even if Jiwoo was suffering a lot he put Seojoon willingly in so much pain time and time again for a stupid reason without stopping to consider what it's doing to SJ. That's inexcusable. I'd never take him back if I was Seojoon

Tbh yeah... All this season did is make me root for them to go to therapy and for Seojoon to find somebody who treats him better... Definitely not what I assume the creators had in mind...

Agreed. They went too far with Jiwoo and now I don't want him together with Seojoon cause he treated him horrible

I was still on board after episode 5 and 6 because I was hoping that these two episodes will be a major turning point . Instead it made it all worse and ruined the couple even further for me 😭
At least the acting is fantastic, the lead actors are doing a great job.

I think they will 🙈
I don't see how it would fit in the last two episodes .. but I still hope they'll sneak it in but I kinda gave up hope

I agree. At first I thought JW just felt like he wasn't good enough. But then I understood from this episode that he thought that SJ would be ok without him and that JW probably means nothing to SJ. And I don't understand how you can think that still when that man came for you and tried after you broke his heart over and over again. I'm truly baffled.

Please don't apologise for your comment being long. It wasn't even that long, I write longer ones haha. I love conversations about my favorite tv shows.

And I totally agree with you, I feel the same

Exactly

What was the point of teasing the root cause of Seojoon's trauma in episode 4 only to never bring it up again... I was certain they were going to do something with it and I was really interested to find out more about it.. It would have been an interesting plot point. Instead we got more about the ex 😵‍💫
I'll be really disappointed if we finish the season without knowing which is probably going to be the case cause I doubt there's enough time to explore this too and I don't see how they could tie it in at this point..
But it would have been really interesting to incorporate it somehow . Not saying it had to be connected to why JW left. I would have been ok if it wasn't but I just wanted it incorporated somehow so we found out more about one of the leads. Missed opportunity

Oh I didn't notice that JW spread it. I'll have to rewatch

I remember from the trailer there's a picture where Jiwoo and Seojoon are lying on the ground in a heap of clothes. Jiwoo's clothes on his side ( all black) and Seojoon's ( colorful) on his side and they're looking at each other. Seojoon has his ring. Some people on reddit said it looks like the carpet on Jiwoo's home? ( not sure if they mean this new one or the old one)
It might be a flashback and I really thought that it will be but idk for some reason I feel like after these episodes they are done with flashbacks.
After your comment I'm wondering how if Seojoon will move in and that's why his clothes are there......( Maybe he gives up on his acting career for the relationship. The CEO did say he might never get work again 😬)

I saw this said on twitter and I can't agree more.

"the fact seojoon texted jiwoo every day for a year is so heartbreaking because all he wanted was to understand jiwoo and let him know that he’s the most important person to him and jiwoo didn’t give him opportunity"

Jiwoo took the decision for the both of them and didn't even give SJ a chance to talk or say what he would think about it ( JW thoughts of being a burden and so on) even after being together for 1 year...
It's things like that that really prevent me from feeling bad for JW at all.

There's some people on twitter who think he meant : He hoped SJ would hurt but get over it quickly cause he himself ( JW) surely doesn’t mean much to SJ.

I think the two sentences are one after the other so it might be possible that this is what was meant cause the other interpretation we have would be just cruel...
I'll be waiting for the viki translations. Those are usually different a bit

Idk if you were referring to me too but I never said he doesn’t have a right to break up with SJ. If he wasn't happy in the relationship even if it was his own making he had a right to leave. But what I said and stand by is that his behavior : ghosting, leaving with a note, saying hurtful cruel things to SJ just cause he couldn't say the truth and wanted to push him away, is inexcusable with his reasoning. I especially said it with the thought in mind that this show is a romance and they'll probably get them back together by the end of the season but I don't see how that would be fair to SJ with everything JW did to him without any basis . That is my main issue. If the show was about two characters being toxic to eachother and the fall of a relationship I would have had a different mind but you're obviously supposed to root for them to get back together and I want to do that so so bad cause I'm invested but with the writing for JW I just can't do that.

Not to mention I feel like his reasoning for pushing SJ away and being so cruel to him after SJ came in the village is flimsy at best. He put up a wall cause he thought it'd be best if they stayed apart and he thought he didn't mean much to SJ even then ? How can you truly believe that when your ex seeks you out after you left them in the worst way possible and still tries their hardest to get you back. Nobody is that oblivious and in their head. I see people on twt saying he's finally realised how much SJ loves and needs him after he opened the texts but if that's the case I find it a giant contrivance cause SJ has done nothing but show how much he cares for weeks ( and in the relationship too)

Same here , I don't feel bad for him. You reap what you sow. And I actually relate to all of his issues from the past ( low self esteem , feeling like you are burden to your closed ones and attaching yourself to some people way too much while they have many around them).
Those don't justifying treating those people who love and care bad or in his case downright horrible just cause you personally have issues and can't see their love. I understand it even less when that person in question ( SJ) has done nothing but show you time and time again how much they care and love you. Ok he didn't open the texts but SJ coming to this village and trying for weeks should have been proof enough that SJ actually loved Jiwoo even if he made up this scenario in his head that he doesn't matter much.
