Episode 5 was peak. The mother is such a b*tch for harassing the teacher. Kim Mu Yeol giving the mother a taste of her own medicine was so hilarious though.
KMY: Ujin keep dozing off, what should I do Mother: Just wake him KMY: Sleeping is a right, is it ok if I violate it? Mother: I'll allow it KMY: How should I wake him Mother: Just shake him KMY: I could be accused of child abuse Mother: Then just call him KMY: If Ujin is startled by loud noises and get emotionally stressed, that can be abuse Mother: Then tell his neighbor to wake him KMY: What if it embarrass him Mother: Then just don't wake him and let him be KMY: But neglect is also a form of abuse
I am only half way through and this is so good. I love it when the bullies get a taste of their own medicine and I like that they not only show how horrible the kids are but the parents AND teachers as well.
Sure, some of the scene are unrealistic but it doesn't bother me (like the end of chapter 3 when KMY jumped out of the buliding to save the teacher). His super human power kind of reminds me of Go Youn Jung's character in Moving (which was also hard to watch and much more violent when she fought back the girl bullies I think in episode 5). Anyway, I know that corporal punishment does not work in the long term but within the confines of the drama I definitely feel the satisfaction of seeing the bullies get taken down in every episode.
Episode 5 is making my blood boil!! If you know any teachers, you'll know that parents can be worse than the kids!!
The mom is horrible. I would have block her number after the third message. I do like that they show the mom at the end how her behavior was affecting her own child.
On May 22, the romantic comedy starring Lim Ji Yeon and Heo Nam Jun soared to its highest viewership ratings yet by far. According to Nielsen Korea, “My Royal Nemesis” shot to an average nationwide rating of 9.5 percent, marking an impressive jump of 3.5 percentage points from its previous all-time high of 6.0 percent—and making it the most-watched program of any kind to air on Friday.
Seo Ri is such a badass. I love her bluntness. Lim Ji Yeong acting is great. I haven't seen Heo Nam Jun in anything else but I like him too, especially those little body language he has when he is with Seo Ri. Great chemistry. I am also intrigued by Mun Do's plan against Sa Gye and how Seo Ri will be involved as their relationship progress.
It's not your thing and that's ok, but many fluffy low stakes bls have a higher rating on mdl than Only Friends.…
Yes you are right. I don't watch a series based on the ratings. It was just a quick observation when I checked both MDL pages. I was just surprised since this season was more divisive but yeah it's just a number.
I am glad Yumi found her happy ending although it was indeed rushed (to be fair, it is also similar in the webtoon, Sun Rook isn't written as deeply as Woong or Babi). The cells are really the highlight of the show. I am always amazed at how creative they showcased each cell and the animations are top-notched! The ending with all the cells at Yumi and Sun Rook's wedding was so cute!!
The chemistry and the storyline between all the couples are so weak lol. Even Mix's great acting can't save the lame conflicts and characters.
None of the couples in this season hold a candle to Season 1: Ray/Sand Boston/Nick Top/Mew
All three couples were so intense and their conflicts actually drives the story and elevates the characters and the show. Compare to this season which is so boring and disappointing. I can't believe the rating for this season is 8.2 and Season 1 is 8.0. I wouldn't give this season higher than 2 or 3 (mainly for Mix's acting).
I really love the video game scene and the car scene afterwards. Soon Rok was able to be himself around Yumi and then able to recharged outside his home was the perfect example of showing how an introvert feels when you find that person that you are comfortable with.
Did anyone also noticed when Yumi went to see Soon Rok before she went sightseeing, Soon Rok was wearing a white shirt with a little heart (just like the X-Ray his Surgeon Cell saw at the end)? Loving the little details.
So sad this is ending next week! I hope there is a special episode aftewards (maybe their wedding or showing their life as husband and wife?)
As many have said, Tua overreaction was just strange. Why can't characters actually talk through conflict? They should just made Arnold/Dean gotten drunk and slept together then at least Tua and Jack's anger would make sense. Right now it's just dumb.
Then you have Boston showed up only to talk sense into Tua which is weird but whatever. But you might as well have Arnold witness the whole thing from the window and then get mad at Tua for unbuttoning his shirt (just like Tua got mad at Arnold for something that *almost* happened) because that's how lame the conflicts are.
This sequel is such a disappointment. It's going to be one that I watch once and will never have the urge to watch again (unless I have insomnia).
Is the character Yuho really necessary? I don't need someone else chasing after Yumi when there are only 8 episodes. More time could have spent between Yumi and SR instead. I also would have like to see more of SR Cells (like when he said out loud that Yumi and Yuho don't look good together).
It's hilarious how the Writer Cell is such a buzzkill every time the other three cells pushed Yumi towards SR. But I actually think Rational Cell should have been the buzzkill cell instead. I mean Yumi being in love should give her more inspiration as a romance novalist so the Writer Cell should have been rooting for them as well.
The writing is so weak even for a BL. The so-called conflicts are laughable. Raffy is so pathetic. Why does he like Jack again? Also Dean is so in love with Jack but we are never show why. They should have done better developing these characters. The connections between the characters in the show are just so boring right now.
What they should have done is start with Jack and Raffy as a couple. They break up and Raffy and Rome gets together. Then Jack cast Dean in the play and in the process of directing him falls for him. Raffy get jealous and tries to break them up. Maybe also have Raffy and Dean or Rome and Dean be friends so it gets messy when Raffy tries to break up Jack and Dean.
The video blackmail is dumb. Arnold and Dean didn't even kiss and they were drunk. If that is all it takes for the two couples to break up then what they have wasn't that deep anyway.
Joss and Gawin are cute together but I feel they are like in a whole different series. Their characters are such a waste.
The first two episodes are so good! I really love how all the cells work together/against each other like Manner Cells/Pride Cell with the Compliment Delivery. It's so creative! It's so funny how much Soon Rok triggers Yumi by doing so little lol. I can't wait to see Soon Rok's cells!
KMY: Ujin keep dozing off, what should I do
Mother: Just wake him
KMY: Sleeping is a right, is it ok if I violate it?
Mother: I'll allow it
KMY: How should I wake him
Mother: Just shake him
KMY: I could be accused of child abuse
Mother: Then just call him
KMY: If Ujin is startled by loud noises and get emotionally stressed, that can be abuse
Mother: Then tell his neighbor to wake him
KMY: What if it embarrass him
Mother: Then just don't wake him and let him be
KMY: But neglect is also a form of abuse
LOL, so brilliant.

Let's goooo for double digits!!
Disappointing
Tame
Overrated
Snoozefest
Aww little Seo-Jun!
