Oh I believe Jinjja to be a girl for various reasons however.

Oh agreed on that. I'm still amused by her antics tho and how she was demoted from ruler of the household to student of the leads by the leads. Oh how the mighty cookies crumble hahaha

haha, yeah the questions seem very standardized indeed, but oh well. Happy to help nonetheless

1) That is a layered question heh, but generally i think around eps 22 if i remember it right is when fake couple turns real (pun intended) ML develops feelings earlier than that but... it is complicated 😂 If you pay attention you may recognize that FL gets under his skin almost right from the start and never leaves there as he goes out of his ways for her until it is OH NO I AM IN LOVE HOW DID THAT HAPPEN??? 😂 Mind that the show uses day to day storytelling, so what feels very slow burn to you is actually fast in time in the story as it all takes place in a little over a month in total.

2) Nope and i doubt it will happen. Writer may have it look that way for a bit, before going into another direction since he loves his plot curveballs and not taking the most beaten paths, heh. Plus the leads do communicate well (with some hiccups in between) so conflicts between them have never time to fester. They support, help and defend each other too, which adds to their bond. ML may seem cold at the start (which is for reasons) but he is actually a kind and emphatic person and one of the greenest kdrama flags.

3) NO BREAKUP TO DATE AND ALSO NOT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. TRUST ME

4) Repurposing that to talk about general conflicts: (almost) immediately after a mistake is made. Bc the one at fault does apologize and they talk about it like adults.

5) HAHAHAHAHAAHHA NOPE. You will HATE them. I mean unless you want to ship FL with her cheating scum of an ex, that is. Since this is a family drama there are various couples beside them with each of them getting screentime and development, but the leads are only ever interested in each other. Like ML is in total "head empty no thoughts, only FL" mode after he falls for her tbh 😆

Right? That development in regards of Yeondoo, wow. She still has ways to go with TK, particularly their difficult past with how she treated him, but now where they teach her jointly and TK rejoices in teasing her without any fear (some would say without respect 😂) left, she won't have any other choice than be nice to him or -the horror- be scolded by her beloved Yeondoo, hahaha.

(Hell, i think this was the first time where she acknowledged that he is very educated and smart.)

Oh the irony of how if trash racoon's words had been serious could have shown of character growth/awareness and the start of a good redemption arc forJH, but it is just the writer being "SIKE, just a prank bro."

But then again, the writer also shows with that how JH is fully self-aware of what an immature pissbaby he actually is in using these apologetic words as a weapon. OH WELL HAVE FUN BEING A PLOT DEVICE FOR TAEKYUNG'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT DUMBASS, LMAO.

The way she was ready to fight JH, tho and her comments at the dinner table toward trash raccoon. Granny is becoming more and more a dark horse fave of mine, i swear.🤣

"From now on, you don’t need to apologize to me anymore. I don’t want to see you suffer because of me."

Also:

"I don’t know how it’ll end for us, but please just like me with all your heart until it does, without feeling guilty. That way, I’ll be able to like you with all my heart as well.”

MY GREEN FLAG KING TAEKYUNG YOUR ML COULD NEVER 😭🥹 🥹 🥹

you know how it goes with broken clocks being at least once right etc etc etc

as even her dumb as rocks mother told her in a rare moment of screechy wisdom 😂

You know you skewed too far to this side of crazy when even your equally delusional ex is like ewww no ain't touching THAT 😂

well with dialogue like this it is pretty obvious why manic bullshit fairy won't get a redemption arc tbh. And thankfully so. I even expect her trying to harm YD and probably then having not only to deal with TK going hulk on her, but the whole Gong family chasing her all through and then out of South Korea. Especially granny is going to be ready for murder then, hahaha, oh the irony🤣

AS THEY SHOULD HAHAHAHAHA but joke aside it was never in the books to marry YD. MAYBE BECAUSE HE CHEATED ON YD FOR WEEKS and right after getting her to sleep with him (so he grew bored of her)

FUCKING WANKER has no one to blame than his cheating scumbag self for YD "to get away." What a bullet she dodged bc look at the man who loves her now. He is all what JH can only dream to be.

as said, next episode he even apologizes to YD for being so distant due to his anxiety about JH being back. We finally have our TK back who openly talks about his feelings with her, bless.

Only the gong fam, tho, but it is all that is needed for the story to build up her jinjja avenger team hahaha. With Taekyung being the first to fall of many, of course. And sourgrapes will follow soon too, just wait heh.

Seriously tho, her kill with kindness approach is the best one for this family so used to toxicity they would not blink an eye about someone losing their temper. Except when it is YD bc she is so kind and understanding all the time, until she gets to a point that is pushed too far or the people she cares about are hurt. Then you better run and hide bc the lioness came to feast hehe. But yeah with her intelligence and empathy she knows where to apply diplomacy and also where it hurts to hit hehehe.

Yeah that checks out with how i understood it too. SUCH A GREEN FLAG KING. I STAN.

Oh god yeah, i may not have kids of my own, but i worked in daycare/kindergarten long enough that i know stepping in lego is not to be justifiable on any pain scale as the scale is not high enough. So line them all up to walk the trial of lego with YD/TK cracking the whip and the only unproblematic faves inok and Yoomyung (maybe DS too for supporting the leads no matter what) sipping her tea as they watch the spectacle, haha.

Glad you liked my rambly weekend time investment <3

awww,.don't stress yourself. It is good to have you back tho <3 Yeah no dread needed, it is way better and more balanced than last week. Like the hellion circus may be still in town but their only trick is being a plot device for the leads, you will see what i mean, especially with TK.

I mean a couple of weeks ago, Taekyung also hated the idea of living together with Yeondoo, but look at him now is all i am saying 🤣 How fast the night changes, indeed. Especially in this drama 😎

hahahaa, well i not one to screech no here, but i am highly doubtful regarding the logistics that needs to be involved here tho hahaha. Bc this requires too much amnesia on Inok's part (literally) with forgetting a whole other baby carried, lol. Even for soap opera lmao.

It is pretty telling (and possibly ironic) how much Granny disliked JH upon seeing him tho. Like hanging on YD's arm of all people, she was ready to FIGHT him 😂 Definitely some sort of foreshadowing for later, i think. At least Taekyung will be off the hook then in being no longer the involuntary black gong sheep 🐑 😂
