JAE YI AND EUN JO!!!

Damn, some of y’all are really pissed because people like Jae Yi and Eun Jo more. First of all, let me clear some things up so no one comes at me. I would never justify domestic violence or slapping. Everyone loves a whole green forest in real life, and that is completely valid because no one wants someone grabbing or pulling them all the damn time. But at the end of the day, this is fiction. It is not like some big alpha daddy CEO is actually going to save us from our problems, right? So wanting enemies to fall in love after all that and showing good character growth falls in the same category.

I have recently been watching older K-dramas, and I finally understand why newer dramas are called soulless productions. These days, K-dramas do not even want anyone to hate the male lead. He is either the most selfless, amazing, astonishing, greenest guy ever, or he is some itty-bitty, unseasoned chicken sarcastic guy in the name of enemies to lovers. Do you all even like this trope?

The newer ones, Dynamite Kiss, Love Next Door, and some others, are not enemies to lovers at all. The trope has literally been ruined by these so-called lovey-dovey couples with a little banter. That is not enemies to lovers.

So yes, I do love Jae Yi and Eun Jo. They are serving angst, their chemistry is on fire, he is actually going through character growth, and they are hot as fuck together. And yes, I do love a good, intense enemies to lovers story. Thank you.

I HAVE SOME PROS AND CONS, so
1. the female lead does look older than the male lead, i've seen both of them in some dramas and i've always loved moon sangmin, but nam jihyun was never my favourite, so maybe my dislike is because of that. and sorrynotsorry, i don't find her pretty (doesnt mean she's not). and again, she does look older
2. moon sangmin and the second fl looks cute together and while i get all about HIS LOVE FOR FL, i think it was typical love at first sight shit. i'm over this rn
3. plot is fine, good and all, but THE ANGST between the beastboy aka jae yi and eun jo is ANGSTING. Gosh their scenes are just so hot. i'm all for toxicity in kdramas like gosh like he's grabbing, pulling her and being mean and she's all giving it back. and when yi yeol noticed that his gaze is thick with desire, GAAAAHH I DIED.
4. all love for msm again, but plssss end her with jae yi because it would be THE MOST DELICIOUS ANGSTY ENEMIES TO LOVERS EVERRRR. LIKE EVER.
