Plus, he is aware of his feelings now so awkwardness in her presence is kinda the natural progression of things, lol

I think she will test out the 'heart beating fast' theory brought up by her bestie to determine if she likes him or not. Feels too early for a kiss tbh, but we will see.

I think feeling and acting awkward is normal as soon you become aware of your feelings for the other person without knowing if they feel the same way about you. He will get there to grow more comfortable again as soon this is solved I think.

Which is the calling card of a damn good actor tbh. Versatility and range. PEB has both in spades.

WTF? (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Heh, for me it is the other way around, like first comes EAW then a long nothing followed by Link then AoS hehe.

Oh gosh now the theory wildening here has already evolved into "Junho and Youngwoo are siblings" ? Hold my phone, call Alabama. 🙈

Joke aside tho, what pinksprings said. No question, at all.

Yep. Which is why watching "older" kdramas from 2015-2020 when being used to the 2021/22 kdrama era gives me such whiplash sometimes. Because many of the older ones do draaaag out a single misunderstanding over several episodes for angst and drama to the point where i want to throw the characters in a room and don't let them out until they talked with each other like adults (So never again, lol) 🤣

I feel kdramas in general have managed to get much better in not dragging out unnecessary conflict between characters (or to create some) recently. Or at least the dramas i watched were, hehe.

Oh right that was the term, had slipped my mind, so thanks <3

I think he is some kind of investigator and general aid in the law firm. The kind of guy who seeks out to find proof and talks to clients to find out what happened. Sort of like the people who investigate insurance claims, but for the legal world.

Tbh, EAW's build up of story and plot elements are rather straightforward in a brick up upon brick style instead to bulldoze the house all down with a *plot twist* for shock value.I feel y'all have simply watched too many kdramas with absurd plot twists to expect that to also happen here too, when this is really not that kind of drama, hahaha😉

True, i still nicknamed him "Joseon Judge" tho, as it felt as though he traveled to the future from there with all his insistence on/interest in family lines 🤣

I meeeeean just watch the way he looks at her. His eyes are speaking volumes every time. Or the way he is eager to learn more about her, to understand her better. How he missed her and their whale talks at lunch when she took days off (the resigning stint) and ran up to her when she returned, happy as a puppy. He took her to a popular DATING spot, because it was suggested to him, and his brain did a 404 error when Youngwoo asked him if he likes her.

I am not sure if these people watch the same drama as i do. Like... can it be any more OBVIOUS?

Kinda feels more like Youngwoo checking if her heart beats faster when being close to Jungho, since it was discussed with her bestie that it is a clear sign of liking him.... but i would not say no to a little smooch too haha. We will see.

Possible but unlikely. As far i have seen the writing of the drama... it is pretty clear-cut, its story build brick upon brick, and not prone to plot curveballs like that.Imo they are setting the scene nicely, especially the sort of-maybe symbolism of YW and Taesun CEO straightening up items on the display and their near-miss of each other. Plus the scene before where mother and daughter who went shopping together and CEO lady seemed wistful about it. Not to mention the whole theme of motherhood in episode 6 and small YWY asking why she has no mother (my heart) It builds and leads up nicely and logically to the big reveal, so to speak. Throwing a curveball now and going "just a prank bro, Youngwoo is not xy's daughter" for plot twist shock value... idk, it just does not fit into the tone and flow of the way the story is build up and written.

why would it be "practically lonely for him later" ?

I feel he thought a lot about the question posed by Youngwoo which led to realization of his answer. Hence the talk with his trash roommate and ensuing awkwardness around his crush. Because now where he said it out loud it is made real, and he is very self-aware of his feelings (and her presence) now. (that gaze back at her at the start of the one scene speaks volumes heh)

Also he tried to correct the impression given to YW of not liking her, tongue-tied and nervous, but was interrupted before he could even bring it up and was frustrated about it. The poor guy is trying awww xD

"Like a mother whale?"

Aww, the whale talk is back, i already missed it so much haha🐋

Seriously this stereotype of ppl on the spectrum don't have/feel emotions has to fuckin gooooo. 😑
