#EP 5&6What a freaking nonsense this show is!! With each passing episode, its getting worse. There is no logic,…
1st point- not too sure about this but if Hari exposes her father, the news would already spread before he can shut them up with money and the damage would already be done. Plus her grandmother favors her over her parents, so she has that power over him too.
2nd- Suji's father has talked about the hierarchy thing before in their house, that plus his military background plus his overall behavior probably means that he has this almost 'detached' form of living life. We can tell from the father-daughter interactions that they aren't very close and have a more formal relationship, he didn't even look upset when the teacher suggested that Suji may be getting bullied. The parents' pyramid game also did not indicate anything about the treatment of the students placed in 'F', so for them, it was just a harmless game they played that showed a mini form of society. It makes sense that he wasn't upset, because to the parents that was a one-time game with no consequences in regards to whatever your child's position is.
3rd- Suji didn't "let everyone know about the plan", she only told Jaeun about the camera. Jaeun told Jiae in an effort to comfort her and build her trust in them, and that's how Harin found out. The rest figured out what happened after the camera was exposed.
4th- I guess putting in scenes of them studying would just be filler? There is so much content to be covered through these conversations, threats and plans and we know that during classtime, everyone pretends to be normal. There are the occasional scenes of teachers doing their lessons but it makes sense that the focus is on what happens during the breaks.
Each episode makes me full in the best way possible. Every 10mins or so I keep checking how long is left because usually the 1hr long episodes feel shorter than that but in this drama, every episode is just filled with so much content instead of the typical 10 dragged out scenes. This is probably the best drama I've seen this year, kudos to the director for making the drama as good as the webtoon.
Unpopular opinion: it is not really convincing that Do Han and Ah Jung are besties. I really don't get the best…
Maybe just close friends that kept in touch? They just seem like low maintenance friends tbh that don't need to hang out a lot, just live their own lives and have a chill time when they are together. Dohan probably doesn't have many close friends in Korea bc he's so reserved, so she's as close to a bestie as he'll get.
We need more main characters like Suji. Someone who's smart but also realistically selfish. Because realistically, once someone is no longer F and knows they can stay in a safe position, they aren't very likely to want to risk doing anything to harm that! Almost all the characters outside Harin & Jaeun are like that, the only reason Suji changed is because she was smart enough to catch that her position was being controlled by Harin.
Suji being selfish and smart makes her soo interesting to watch as a main character, as we can see the ones who are too nice to harm others will only end up harming themselves, like Jaeun.
There are a lot a stones being thrown in the comment section. Nuanced character discussions seem to be a thing…
Right, everyone's so quick to throw these characters into the binary of 'good people' or 'bad people' when there is an in-between, and characters are allowed to be flawed
Must've missed something, but does anyone know why Jihan is still choosing to pursue Ahjung even after knowing his grandfather approved the marriage? I thought he was only against the marriage because he wanted his grandfather to pass the inheritance to Dohan, which would only happen if Dohan married a suitable high-class wife. But if that problem's gone and Dohan will still get the inheritance, why did he still try to seduce her?
I'm glad the new participants got roomed with Dongjin and Dahye, respectively. They are honestly the best choices just because of how warm and friendly each one is as a person.
I am still rooting for Changjin x Dahye, Juwon x Yujung, and Dongjin x Hyewon couples. Realistically, I think the only one that will work out is Yujung and Juwon. As much as I reallyyy want Changjin and Dahye to end up together, I think Changjin's feelings for his ex will be the breaking point and he won't be able to pick Dahye over her. But even if that happens, I think Changjin and Dahye will remain close friends after the show, they honestly have one of the best friendships i've seen in Transit Love. Dongjin and Hyewon only depends on if Hyewon will be able to completely move on from her ex, but after the events of ep13 I don't have much hope.
Also this is an unpopular opinion, but I really don't think that badly of Kwangtae. I think he's mainly more immature than whatever 'stalker psychopath' label everyone's put on him. Him being jealous in front of Yujung that one night was too much, I agree, but at least he could recognize that he was wrong and able to reflect on that. He was criticized that he was keeping his options too open so he narrowed it down to one person, but then was criticized for that too by the public. Also calling him a stalker for going into Yujung's personal room is so...? He was interested in her more than his ex, so he naturally went into her room. That's why the option's there. And took a little card of her info and kept it so he could remember the scent she likes. It's really not as creepy as yall make it seem.
Concerning him and his ex, although Jeongeun's explanation for her not saying ily is valid, I feel more for Kwangtae. He really needed that one phrase, that one reciprocation of affection and waited a long time for it, but never got it. And as a cherry on top, she had to say "I don't love you" which is worse than not saying anything. It's clear Kwangtae's still very wounded by it and the preview looks like that wound is just going to get deepened.
I'm looking forwards to seeing the backstory between Sangjeong and her ex. They seem to have a healthier relationship/breakup than the others. I'm possibly rooting for them too but I need more screentime.
The way Hwihyun says "I don't text people who I don't think will text me" but LITERALLY 2 seconds later says "I didn't think people were so conscious about the texts. I didn't think too much of it" lol. Make up your mind
I'll admit, I was a little skeptical after the first 2 eps, but eps 3 & 4 really sold it to me. All the characters are well written and even though the basic plot is something we've seen many times before, the writer still manages to use that cliche and make it unique. The FL falling for her fake husband's younger brother, one of the main 4 characters being explicitly gay, the third-in-line illegitimate grandson immediately being the one to take the inheritance, a son-in-law living with his wife's family instead of vice versa. You usually don't see that kinda stuff in kdramas.
The dad is so careless to her, always saying things like you need to strike first... blah.. blah... but not teaching…
they seem to have a very distant relationship, so in a way it makes sense that he hasn't actively taught her to fight and only says some brief things during dinner together
I think they interviewed after finished the filming if you watch the season 2 then you will realise that gyu min…
yes i remember in s2 some people had to go on secret dates and such so they left the house in their specific 'interview outfit' that everyone else also recognized
