heedo likes jiyeon right now but if they got into a relationship, he'll treat her the same way he treats nayeon because jiyeon is also messy and also immature sometimes.

i'm crying, i had similar thoughts all episode but when you write it out like this, it looks extra silly

tbh the screentime for the second couple is fine if all the episodes are out and I can skip but right now, it's painful waiting for any FL and ML scenes only for the episode to end T_T

but also I love yu mei ren???? she quit her job for her BFF without a moment of hesitation, reminds me of when she was so happy for zhuang yu's paper getting published even tho she knew it meant he would be leaving soon (problem was he didn't tell her any of this). i just know if zhuang yu told her straight up, mei ren would be more than happy to wait for him. after all, she has a phD and is secretly more mature than he thinks, she knows how important the study is.

also yu mei ren using the stick to push the balcony cover button open when it was raining because she knows how much zhuang yu loves his plants

true, jisoo was the one who knew she would feel uncomfortable with wonbin even before he asked her to go to jeju with him...but she still AGREED to go with him??? imo she only agreed because she didn't want to have no date so she is lowkey using wonbin? she kept saying wonbin always makes her feel like a villain but like sometimes it's justified? she didn't even try to have fun and just slept/played music in the car to avoid talking to him

he has noticed her being smart and being far more intelligent but we haven't seen the ML actually go ask about it. i feel like the ML might know something tho because he's seen FL's childhood photos (being #1 of her class) and also knows her family thinks she's a researcher (and definitely attended her college graduation). he either just doesn't care or already knows at this point

but guys, is it really a cdrama if it doesn't have the infamous poor communication problem between the leads? (':

ep 19! meiren found out from lu jian that zhuang yu's paper was out and caught the attention of many foreign research universities and was super happy for him, wanting to celebrate. but zhuang yu didn't tell meiren that he already chose to go abroad immediately and left in ep 20 without telling her

okay but zhuang yu definitely should've said something to meiren before hopping on a plane??? like dude what?!!!! he had time before the day of his flight to let her know

meiren's reaction to hearing about zhuang yu research paper and getting recognition abroad from lu jian is freaking adorable, she's so excited for him and not even a moment of hesitation in her reaction

yeah it's weird af. meanwhile meiren's brother is out here taking care of tiantian's grandma and grapes

OMG THANK YOU IM SCREAMING

i skip too cause it's just weird that meiren's boss is doing all that because a girl gave him an umbrella. then to repay her, he makes her life harder by making her work for him to pay for the damages of the grapes??? and doesn't tell her that he is her bff's boss and then also puts up an act about needing a wheelchair? it's just so weird to me

heedo is so nice to literally everyone else but nayeon. heedo asked nayeon to go to jeju with him and he is just all grumpy the whole time and "has nothing to say" about nayeon feeling bad because he wore his couple bracelet with jiyeon to their jeju date.

it does seem super toxic (both to each other but even more with heedo always being mad at nayeon) and feels like he was gaslighting her the whole jeju date. nayeon didn't know why heedo picked nayeon when they initially sent the texts so ofc she would be confused about him just being grumpy the whole date... but instead of acknowledging nayeon's confusion and frustration, he's just like "well I can't do anything about the way you feel" or "I picked you just to talk" or "you could've chosen gyumin, i would've been fine" like god damn

i'm not saying nayeon wasn't wrong for randomly hugging taei but it doesn't make heedo's cold behavior any less toxic. like they are all adults

am i seeing this right? ep 15 is THREE HOURS long?

does jiyeon still think haeeun is heedo's ex? cause when it was revealed that gyumin, jiyeon, and haeeun would be going to jeju island together because they have no dates, who did jiyeon think that heedo would choose if not her or haeeun (since she thinks that's heedo's ex)

i was getting annoyed at our FL being super stubborn at times and my hack in calming myself down when i'm annoyed is reflecting on myself when I was 15 years old and how freaking cringe and immature I acted, works wonders (':

where do i get myself a man like wonbin?

you are insane bye

it's just funny that they are using 100 people to represent a several thousand people fight

Rewatching this and damn, I forgot how frustrated I was when CSS ignored all of LBY's warnings and even drafted a fake Tiger Tally for the CP and Empress. I feel like respect is a two way street, she wants LBY to respect her but she fails to take any of LBY's warning and advice - even after LBY already scolded her for potentially making things even more complicated the day before. It's also frustrating that whenever LBY tries to reason with CSS, CSS takes it so personally and flips it onto being angry at LBY!

Like girl, how are you gonna make a fake Tiger Tally literally the day right after your fiance told you for the thousandth time to not get involved with the Eastern Palace or any palace politics? I feel like even the most stubborn would know that something as serious as tricking the mudaforkin Emperor, and therefore the entire country, can't be a good idea even if your fiance didn't give your warnings.
