The funny thing is I don’t think Ji Hun has ever had a partner while they were friends. I don’t think there were instances where Ji Hun ditched him to be with someone else or to flirt with someone else so I am confused as to were all of this doubt is coming from. By the looks of it, they avoided all topics related to love so how can he even know Ji Hun’s type? Why can’t he even imagine that Ji Hun is waiting for him? I get that him called him his friend a lot but he has now confessed his love for him. Is that really the only thing that DBW is going to hold on to in order to not have a relationship with him? And If he ends up with Ha Min will he be happy or will he live in doubt of what could have been if he had believed Ji Hun? Will he believe Ha Min too?

The episode 7 preview is out and it looks like we are going for a ride https://youtube.com/shorts/5pzW4cTQNJE?si=rzLAf66ThnXOstfn

The born a crime poster in episode 2 (around 30 min) is so random 😂

Lol my timeline is flooded with guys from the show starring intensely at each other so I got confused 😂

Is there a bl storyline? I keep seeing pictures suggesting one

After you mentioned Do Ba Wo’s confession, I went back to episode 1 and rewatched it again to see if I had missed something and in fact I had.

1. Do Ba Wo confesses to Hi Jun by saying I think I like you, a very ambiguous statement

2. Hi Jun reciprocated by saying me too, I like you. Very clear statement, no ifs and no buts.

3. Everyone is smiling, might I even say it looks like they have non-verbally agreed to be a couple.

4. The next scene is were the trouble begins. Hi Jun tell’s his basketball friends that DBW has told him he likes him. Now, I do not know if he tells them that he likes him too, that isn’t clarified. However, when Do Ba Wo enters the gym, the friends start laughing at him and ask him if it is true that he had confessed his love to Hi Jun. DBW obviously looks very uncomfortable and so Hi Jun, realising his mistake (I mean he had just outed his boyfriend, which is a huge no-no, lol grounds for being dumped actually) clarifies the situation and says that DBW said he liked him, he never confessed his love for him. I guess in a bid to prevent him from being called gay by his friends. Now DBW obviously panics at first and then instead of saying I just like him as a friend (wink wink, we will talk about this later) he denies even saying that he liked him. I also think he misunderstood Hi Jun’s defence and thought he was dense, he wasn’t dense at all but had rather made a monumental mistake and had just realised it. Now, these 2 should have had a follow up conversation about how Hi Jun has breached DBW trust by disclosing his confession to random people but because DBW thought Hi Jun didn’t like him he never addresses this point. Hi Jun having been denied also thought DBW didn’t like him and was afraid of further jeopardising their friendship and so he doesn’t bring this point up again (until episode 6) .

Actually rewatching it gives me more stress because I can see all the missed opportunities. The question I have is will DBW give Hi Jun a chance to clarify matters or will more misunderstandings and lack of communication take place in the next episode? Like they may need to go on a camping trip and be locked in a cabin in order for them to talk things through. Even if they don’t end up dating, I just think that for them to move on to whoever they meet next they need to address these issues so that their (next) relationship doesn’t fail.

I will watch it on mute for the view count to avoid getting too many spoilers

I didn’t realise Earth was in this!

But does Ha Min really get Do Ba Wo or is it because he read his journal? Like we haven’t actually seen them interact outside of their work on the webtoon. If they had similar interests and hung out talking about that I would get it but all they do is talk about unrequited love, which Ha Min found out about by reading the journal, he didn’t have a particular eye on Do Ba Wo and figure out that he liked He Jun. If the girl at the coffee shop had picked up the journal, would their relationship be any different than how Ha Min is interacting with Do Ba Wo?

In episode 5 and 6 he literally asked him if he liked him 😭😭😭 Like point blank, but Ba Wo said no and then he went to Ha Min to complain about it and Ha Min agreed with his assessment 🤣, but you yourself said no so why is Ji Hun to blame here (faking a health scare is a different thing that can be addressed at a later time but being dishonest about your feelings is not the appropriate response). Is Ji Hun supposed to be a mind reader?? I commend him for trying to figure things out to this extent. I also wonder what exactly Do Ba Wo brought to this decades long friendship. Like how has he helped Ji Hun solve his problems if he is always so dismissive of him? Also can he not tell that he hides his true feelings through humour? Its like he doesn’t actually know him.

That makes sense then because it seems like the author had an interesting idea but the screenwriter didn’t know how to execute it

This and the last episode, I mean why did we have a time skip from last night? I thought something was about to give but no the next episode had progressed to the next day already

What happens the webtoon if Ha Min isn’t even in it? Who starts the let us date for a week thing?

By the end of episode 5 I did not have a choice, I just hoped Do Ba Wo would clearly tell Ji Hun why he wanted to stop being friends with him and then either cut ties with him or date him, I just wanted him to provide some clarity.

By the end of episode 6 I support Ji Hun because I don’t want his heart to be broken, he has been waiting for years for DBW to confess (he should probably have taken the initiative but with the way things are at the moment I am not even sure if that would have worked, they would have passed it off as joke as well?) so I hope he gets the conclusion he has been hoping for. I mean are you telling me he going to lose his potential bf in the space of a week? Then why all these useless flashbacks? Just show us more of Ha Min then.

I was going to ask why the webtoon readers abused themselves this much but apparently they changed everything. If the webtoon was popular why did they then change the script? They could have just added more dialogue and it would have come out well. I don’t understand why they overhauled the whole thing. Solo Leveling has been animated to critical acclaim and much success, whilst following the author’s original intention. I hope the next time someone develops a webtoon they follow what has been written on it! 😭

Ba Wo and Ji Hun are both greedy, they want to have it both ways and are not willing to take the risk. If not for Do Ba Wo dropping his diary they would have remained friends until they passed away 😭

I am numb, lol I am supposed to be waiting for the next episode in excited anticipation but now I am waiting in trepidation. I don’t know if this is good for viewership numbers

I don’t watch the previews anymore😂 anyway its the last episode so hopefully it will get resolved soon

I suspect Do Ba Wo is going to reject Ji Hun in the next episode or say that he doesn’t like him anymore and then we are going to have 2 episodes of Ji Hun chasing Do Ba Wo again until the last 5 minutes of the show were either DBW ends up with Ha Min or finally accepts his feelings

Ha Min says that he wants Do Ba Wo to end up with someone who understands him, Is that foreshadowing a Ha Min Ba Wo couple? But then why make Ji Hun go through all of this pain and confusion? Also how can someone understand you if you don’t clearly state your feelings. Ha Min got to understand Do Ba Wo because he read his diary, is Ji Hun supposed to magically guess that his friend has feelings for him? Also Ji Hun has liked DBW for a long time as well, so I hope Do Ba Wo will have some empathy for him and understand that he also was afraid of confessing rather than just rejecting him outright. Anyway, that’s my hope for the next episode, I don’t know if we will get any closure until the last minutes of episode 8 though.
