Taeho's babbling after his "oh shit i am in love" epiphany (including bright lights and seeing HS walking in slow motion. Gosh not the slow mo, this is how you know this dude is a goner 😆) was only missing a proposal for marriage, otherwise it had it all 😂 Like....

-Complimented her looks and ensured she hasn't feelings for his cousin
-Him asking if he can call her often.
-Going out for lunch/dinner together
-Vent to each other and talk about their day.
-Wanting to rely on her (and her on him)
-Wanting to call her by her name instead of her title (and she doing the same with him)
-Complained about stoopid honorifics with her and wanting to drop them
-Him wanting to drive her back to work so he can spend some more time with her

You mean... like boyfriend and girlfriend, Taeho? 🤣 Too bad HS is completely in her hustling mode to register any of that, haha.

If you disregard all the other nonsense you could call the episode also the whipped sage of Taeho, puppy ,man's awakening or something 😂 Idk, just that i have stopped paying attention to the other, too many assholes annoying me in this show while living happily in my Taeho & Hyoshim bubble (best girl Mirim is allowed entrance too tho) bc they make me kick my feet and squee 😆

But fr, TH is so down bad for HS and now he is finally (mostly) aware of it too, which is FUN. There were already so many small nuggets of good there between the two, i honestly can't wait for their full fledged relationship and dating soon.

Hahaha, yeees. She is more observant than people give her credit for, especially here, it seems. I love them and ship them both sm, ngl 😭🫶🏼

Apparently all that what was needed to bring forth "the hidden Kiho" was just to tell him (and offend him with it sm) that he isn't Kiho in last episode. With Mokha being like 'You're not Kiho, Kiho was a badass, you're just a little bitch' and this man has had an existential crisis, and then proceeds to go into full Kiho mode in eps 7 😂

The best, i am cackling, I honestly could not love it any more 🤣

This whole scene at the beginning with HS crying broke my heart and Mirim heard it ALL. It is long overdue that these two become besties. Hyoshim needs someone empathic and warm like Mirim in her life, especially given how surrounded she is by unrepentant, callous and selfish assholes.

Also btw with those two together on screen that is like 75% of my liked characters onscreen 😂 (The only one missing is Taeho, obviously)

Yeeees i love PEB. She was the FL in the drama responsible for me falling into the kdrama rabbithole (The King's Affection) as is Shin Hae Sun with Mr. Queen which was my second kdrama. So i am really particularly fond of those two stellar actresses. Would love to see them in a multi-lead drama together one day, ngl <3

haha, saaaame but i think that is kinda intended/the pun here 😆

get yourself a man who looks at you like Taeho did look at Hyoshim during the runway presentation 🤭 🥰

*from episode 2 ;)

that ship name already makes its round on twitter and i love it lol

oh nvm, just read the above comment, where it already has been said whoops

She has been secluded from society for 15 years? Which obviously means she is naive and immature in some regards, but this does not equal to her being stupid. Fine but important difference.

what episode are you at? Better wake up and smell the roses, tho 😂 Bc eps 7 does say it clearly TWO times.

Dumbstruck, flustered babbling "oh shit i am in love" puppy Taeho is my favorite Taeho, ngl. He is such a cutie, trying to convince her to call him when things get tough and she needs someone to talk to or have lunch with, but she makes him work for it. Also he nearly followed her into the changing room 🤣 🐶

Clingy bf trope/golden retriever era is a goooooo 😂👌

The shoooooooes, i swear those shoooes made me go "ooooh hello kiho" They were the biggest giveaway from episode 2 on forward Then the scenes of him waiting for her which made it clear he never lost his memory and thus it could have never been WH. Easy as.

But yeah i am glad as well the writer/director isn't lingering on the mystery but makes it clear with parallels and dialogue "hints" from the get go, basically. It was just a matter of picking up on it or rather it required a lot of skillful evading and wishful thinking to not be hit over the head with how much Bogeol is Kiho, tbh. 😂 Bc they were laying it on thick and the misdirect was too obvious hahaha

Also i want to stress, with clarity that immaturity =/= stupidity. She was secluded from society for over a decade of course she is not behaving like your average 31 yrs old woman and has things left to learn, as the world changed/moved forward without her in it. Takes some adapting but she is doing a fine job with that all things considered. Just look how far she has come in that small amount of time. Everything else is just experience and maturing that will come with time and the people around her. Like, give the woman a break, yeah?

Forever her biggest fan and supporter <3 What a green flag man, bless. Also he founded that club to clean islands in order to find Mokha, bc ever since he'd found her he hasn't done anything in it haha

Yeees, that is hallmark of good acting tbh

Also i am glad that episode 7 leaves zero room for interpretation who Kiho is. There is a full on confession. Like, can we move on now from still asking who kiho is when it had been clear from episode 2, basically? 😂

I love Bogeol sm because he is seemingly cold and distant but when you watch him you know it is all just a facade put up in order to protect them all. His eyes tell full stories of longing and warmth however, particularly whenever he looks at Mokha. It doesn't need words to know how he feels. Just watch:
