this shouldn't have been called 'Secret Relationships' but psychotic, toxic, nut-house relationships - like what the actual f*ck. both Jae Min & Su Hyeon r bonkers & sadly Da On it the ultimate pushover, enabler. his way to deal with both, is to just give in. what type of life is that?! also found it ironic him just saying to Seong Hyeon, that he would break his heart. guess Da On is a freakin prophet or he just knows, he will happily walk all over someone good, cause of bad-guys that he can't find a backbone to stand-up too anyone assertive. & i know the reason he chose to go with Su Hyeon, was cause he knew how volatile he can be & that he would hurt Seong Hyeon, so in his mind he was saving Seong Hyeon by hurting him - the irony is ridiculous. ***********also kinda glad Da On was finally (!) clued into Jae Min's true character - dude beyond nuts. i was sure he would go after Da On, as he doesn't come off like someone that would hurt himself. psychopaths usual don't. but is this way of guilting Da On into forgiving & staying with him?!? or is he gonna blame him & threaten him into staying with him. by now i really don't know how his f*cked-up mind works. will have to wait & see.***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this BL is really well acted & love interesting the character's r, really well done until now - ****************************************btw am glad that by the end Da On realized he shouldn't let Seong Hyeon go, as is he was taking his sweet time realize important sh*t & worse he was hurting poor Seong Hyeon so so much idk if just saying lets date will make up for all the heartache. Seong Hyeon deserves better he is such a gem of a character.

well how disappointing, for a sec there i thought - hoped that Seon Chaek wouldn't turn into the typical brain-dead FL, but alas by the end of this, she went down the imbecile route. i "love" when women fall for mobsters that live most if not all of their lives in a dog eat dog world & cause they have fallen in love, they needs to just stop & their life will suddenly / miraculously turn rosy - where their past wont come back to bite them in the ass (as it always does) - here is Prince Gyeong Seong's situation/life any different?!? & Seon Chaek should know better then the average FL, cause this b*tch has read the web-novel from start to finish so she should know his life story better then anyone else. but she is acting stupid, why? cause she is in the role of FL now, so her brain has shut-down?!? ***************************************************************************************************************u need to be told to stay away from Prince Yi Gyu, given the animosity between him & Prince Gyeong Seong?!? every time they r around one another they verbaly try to bite each others head off. if u care for someone, u don't go seeking out - let alone caring for a stranger(!!!) especially not one they have beef with. but not our genius FL. OMG but i have had enough of stupid women. & as is had a tough time warming up to Seon Chaek cause of her wishy washy, airheaded personality. she needed to be way smarter given the fact she had all the info before "landing" in the novel - like come on. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************given everything happening in this ep, from the stupidity displayed by the FL & ironically the best friend - the "badguys" finding a reason to join forces - the only one i feel genuinely sorry for is Prince Gyeong Seong, he has had a tough childhood & life, now he had to go & fall for a moron that is gonna just make his life harder - 3 eps more to go & i am genuinely contemplating dropping this... ugh

so why is Eun Ae paying someone to murder Seon Chaek?!? is she also from a different universe & transported into the web-novel to be the FL & in her mind Seon Chaek has stolen her thundered, so she is getting even?!? if so i feel bad for Su Gyeom, not only he has a douche for a father but now he has fallen for a mean-girl - a dangerous mean-girl. ******************************of course this all could be a mislead & Eun Ae would not be involved at all - we will have to wait & see. but if she doesn't know the plot of how this romcom should've gone i don't see any other reason for her to hold a grudge against Seon Chaek. **********mentioning Seon Chaek, really like her family hey quirky & funny but also very sweet & caring. Seon Chaek is really luck to be transported into such a loving family. ************************************************************************************************side note: i really the the King/Emperor, i don't get people like him. u already in power got people doing sh*t they don't want to do but to prove their loyalty & allegiance they bow their heads & follow ur every command. so why they keep asserting ur dominance? why belittle & demean? why the need to show them who's in charge all the time? anyone in Prince Gyeong Seong plce would start plotting how he is dethroning the f*cker ASAP.

well am pretty sure the person that pushed Seon Chaek is Eun Ae not Hwa Seon, why she did it idk - we will find out. but for someone who acts all grateful for Seon Chaek's friendship, let alone her supposedly disliking Prince Gyeong Seong & the fact she knows there is something between him & Seon Chaek - why would she do that?!? idk... ***************************************also if Su Gyeom is so terrified of his father he can't stand up to him, what is the point trying to a woo a woman he can't be with?!? as his father wont allow it.

finally started to find Seon Chaek funny, even though i kinda don't get the whole plot with Su Gyeom & Eun Ae, it's like there is a story going on behind the scenes & we r seeing bit's & pieces of the story. was angry that instead of Seon Chaek telling Su Gyeom from the get-go that she didn't tell/ask Eun Ae about him. she just went along with his despair & commiserated as if they were in the same boat - & then there was weird interaction between him & Eun Ae.... so idk what i feel about that whole situation. but as the whole selection process has been brought to a halt i guess they can resume whatever is going on there..

am glad Seon Chaek is ready to fight for her Prince, but i didn't get why she keeps going over the same old crap when confronted by Eun Ae. she wants the Prince & knows that Su Gyeom is interested in Eun Ae. she also heard from Eun Ae that she is only participating for her father & she herself is scared of the Prince. so why isn't Seon Chaek mentioning Su Gyeom?!? he might not be royalty but he comes from a prominent family if he is close friends with a Prince. ********************************but Seon Chaek is such an airhead that idk when she will remember & if it will be too late cause i think Eun Ae will start competing with her just for her fathers sake - maybe even to prove she is as worthy as the other girls.

am glad Su Gyeom did fall for Seon Chaek , just a pity she had to fall sick before she could talk to Eun Ae. then Eun Ae wouldn't have joined the selection to be the bride of Prince Gyeong Seong. which i kinda don't get - i get wanting power but she had interacted with him & he wasn't just cold he was mean to her. who would want to marry someone like him?!? not me. but ok -

the flashback to the FL's life in the real world - the reason she became a shut-in was to show why she is now trying her damndest not to not take the OG FL's intended was kinda meeh. cause it showed more how she lacks backbone in confrontational situations. she wasn't in the wrong in the real world & his bff lashed out on her cause she rather blame her then the man she loves. Seon Chaek should've stood-up for herself - but she didn't, she rather run away so now it's not shocking she keeps running or bowing & smiling when Hwa Seon gets in her face. idk how much i can root for a FL like this. especially when for someone who says they wanna be a side character & just enjoy the show she keeps finding ways to get the spotlight on her. in this ep she has also drawn the 2nd ML's notice. & the worse part she acts oblivious - when she has read this freakin web-novel so she should be one step ahead of everyone. but here she is like a bull in a china shop with amnesia. it's not cute of funny. ************************************************************************************************************************but i don like the rest of the character's (other then the "mean girl" obviously). just wish the FL would get with the program & stop acting like a dimwit

what a place to stop - ugh now to wait over 5 days & this whole ep just flashed by.... oh well - this is so good. i know Kirii is the logical one to inherit his fathers outfit & yet there is a huge part of me, that doesn't want it to be him. it would be perfect if Kataoka was chosen - it for sure would drive Kirii crazy & i really really dislike this dude. but give the preview idk who get's the position at the head & how Kataoka ends up hurt. given how "dark" this has been to date (& as i haven't read the manga idk if this gonna have a sad ending). *******************************************************************************************************also would love if there was some light shed on Asahi's situation & we find out how he really died & who was at fault. somehow have a feeling it wasn't Kataoka. *****************************************************************************************************this is so much fun & i really hate that this is so short, really love the leads & can't get enough of this - which is shocking considering how dark & f*cked this was at the start.

the FL is coming of 'thick' she keeps acting without thought - well that's cause she spends most of her time talking to herself. & every chance she gets, she's putting her foot in it... so no i have yet to warm up to her & if this wasn't enough i am starting to really get annoyed by how spineless she is whenever she comes face to face with Hwa Seon. her servant girl got slapped & other then tell her to leave the room, she did sh*t all. & yet everyone including the the woman that should be the FL Eun Aer falling over their own two feet to be with her. meeh -

one of my favorite web novels is Miss Not-So Sidekick, so i was hoping this was along the same lines (as i haven't read the web-novel this has been adapted from) & i wish i could say this was hilarious & i loved the MC from the get-go. i didn't - she is too in her head, too skittish & cowardly - which makes it hard for me to really love her. but thankfully towards the end she did (kinda) stand-up to the main mean-girl = Hwa Seon. so i am hoping this will get better - or rather she (Seon Chaek) will get better/ more likeable. otherwise won't last a few ep's let alone reach the end.

short & sweet, maybe a bit too short for my liking - as it feels like there could've been so much more to this plot, as it has potential (for both couples) heck even Seon Jae is an interesting enough character & he could've had a new story of his own. but it is what it is & it was fun while it lasted. still leaving with this feeling like when ur starving & instead of a full-course meal, ur given a taste of things to come - but they never will.... so ur left hungry. *********************************************************well acted & liked all of the character's but Dong Ha was my favorite & happy for him that Ju Won realized he let fear blind him & went after the man he loved. this was fun but too short
Was this review helpful to you?
an ep from the end so of course there gonna be some drama, but the fact that Dong Ha ran after Ju Won in-spite of him trying to eat him is surprising - that he didn't need time to get used to the idea or have questions etc... guess he that love blind. & Ju Won was he usual self - self preservation before anyone else, so he rejected Dong Ha before he could reject him. ***************but the running theme of this BL is Ju Won hurting Dong Ha & then running after him to apologize.

so we saw & Ju Won even told Dong Ha, that he was a kid when he moved into that house - meaning he was born half human half vampire. so that means, he will grow old, doesn't seem to posses any super power & even his bloodlust isn't an issue. so the reason Seon Jae keeps telling him, they can't be with humans - is just cause they consume blood?!? cause yeah the 'being a vampire' is an issue, but after confiding in Dong Ha & him getting used to the idea - why can't they be together?!??? i get that there maybe a selfish motive - which Ju Won understood & squashed it without making a big song & dance about it. ************btw the kiss was hot & i am happy that not only did Ju Won realize his feelings, but acted on them. also like that when Dong Ha gets hurt, he doesn't rush to forgive & understand Ju Won, he stand his ground until Ju Won apologizes.

they r so cute together & i also like the 2nd couple (who idk how long have been living in that house together) but finally r coming to realize they have feelings for each other. now just wondering where Seon Jae disappeared too & if the mains r gonna act on their feelings, how many days have passed & if it's almost a month, if so - will Ju Won pursue Dong Ha?!? will they have a future? a lot of questions & only 3 ep's to go
