I think the 2ML usually loses to the 1ML in chess on purpose, but this time he went all-out as a subtle message…
it is interesting because some are speculating that ML losing the chess match might foreshadow how he thinks he has a good plan but another variable can skew those plans. On the other hand I quite like the 2ML and I sense he is protecting the FL in his own way, I hope they dont make his character into a caricature but if he gracefully pursues the FL and even loses her it could be something beautiful to watch (but i might be expecting way too much from kdrama writers for that lol)
ML losing the chess match was interesting, usually in shows like this they try to show ML as a natural genius and winner. But we know ML is curbing a lot of his potential to stay loyal to his family BUT it would be so delicious if he really starts flexing and using his power gah I hope we get to see that.
l'm genuinely so impressed–the production quality, the OST, and especially the acting are all top tier.Coming…
I think Jjisoo's acting was fine in Boyfriend on Demand. It matched the level of drama that it was, not too serious not too deep...Jisoo also does not have same roster as IU so just seems kind of iffy to compare them.
they cannot handle a strong FL!! if the ML had all her traits they would be all over him
and we all saw and know why is aggressive and constantly in offense mode like are you watching the show?? are you seeing the shitty people in her life??? also judging/ thinking you know a person/character from TWO episodes is just unbelievable to me. And I believe there is nothing wrong with the way she is actually.

she is just a chaebol, portraying quite common chaebol traits- she is not the "cold male ceo chaebol" so her emotions are seen as an "attitude" to you; she is "unbearable" to staff because of the constant threat and pressure of losing what she rightfully deserves (quite obvious is you watch the show and understand nuance) also her closest staff is chill af with her, always keeping it real with her so obviously she is a very different person to the people CLOSE to her (also common with characters who have to develop an armor for unjust reasons) idk man i love her i love flawed female characters and also believing that a character is NOT one dimensional.

well i think it is quite obvious why she is the way she is, yes i do expect they will show character growth for her but at the same time that doesn't dismiss the baddie she is (tho it is quite obvious to me it is a hard earned armor coz of her asshole dad), female characters are always held to an unrealistic standard and im very tired of it
okay who lied to me and said these two have no chemistry???? I got all the chemistry I needed in the second ep award scene (the flirtinesssssss). Just praying they keep the story tight and genuine as the show goes along, I have such a good feeling about this one and Im gonna be pissed if they butcher it up
episode 16 and these two are terrible communicators damn wheres the miscommunication and misunderstandings trope.............also the chemistry is kind of overhyped i feel like, all the sexy tiktok edits made me come here but no one said how frustrating it is 😭😭 but it still makes me want to keep watching so the story is pretty decent, the ML's acting could be a lot better, the FL is so naturally seductive she is greatttt EDIT- I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE STEAM THEY REALLY PICKED IT UP HEHEHEHE these freaks jealousy is just their foreplay bahahah (my type)
on episode 11 and they are so mismatched 😭 she can't handle his moody ass and he doesnt get her independent tendencies and it's the root of their conflict- also i dislike how she "holds a grudge" about chasing him like she chose to do that herself and said she would wait for him why bring that up in an argument even when you are upset idk they dont feel like a good match to me but that is EXACTLY why I am so invested in them lol i want to see how they bridge this gap between them but i just dont want to see one side to keep compromising so i have hope they work on their love together
Now that it’s over, I’m not gonna lie—wouldn’t this be one of my best K-drama endings in a *very* long…
yessss in a seriously long time i was looking at my kdrama watch history and the last kdrama i enjoyed this much with good writing and pacing till the end was Brewing Love in 2024, actually Boyfriend on Demand this year was really cute too but not in this kind of hurt comfort genre
EDIT- I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE STEAM THEY REALLY PICKED IT UP HEHEHEHE these freaks jealousy is just their foreplay bahahah (my type)
