Is it available where you’re at yet?

Nah I love that kiss scene, HD the initiator lol moreso it was about HD not YJ lol.

But now I’m kind of nervous what happens next. Lol.

They graduate in Feb but basically she done with high school.

She not in highschool anymore so I don’t think it will be address which a kind of a shame lol.

Like I’m still enjoying the show a lot but 🧐🤔🤔😒.

Even JW is like uh your relationship can be very misleading but it’s like he knows they are a thing sort of lol. So it’s like what are you trying to say writer????? That their relationship
Is indeed misleading (wrong) lol but it’s okay??? Lol.

Like the age gap wouldn’t have bothered me all that much if there was some sort of acknowledgment from YJ side which the writer has not done so lol. Now she’s not even inhighschool anymore so 😒

Yes BaekDo 🍑🤧🤧🤧 I will forever go on about these two.

Having someone same page as me on here is refreshing because it seems when I bring this up it’s the age gap issue that has everyone riled up but I’m more so talking about it from a writing standpoint lol.

I love HD & YJ relationship. That is fact lol. Still one of more better and well written pairs I’ve seen. But there’s a little pickle I have with the writing and @jia04 explained it well.

Yes.

You said what I’m trying to say. A lot of people think it’s just a age gap issue but it’s not. It’s a writing issue lol.

I know why he’s doesn’t like it when HD avoids him. He’s emotionally attached to her. His happy pill, safe haven. I get that. But thing is when your the older one (adult), the boundaries has to be made? Since romantic love is involved. But it’s not set. The writer has already have these values set in YJ but it’s not put into place. That’s why the framing of his actions feels off.

That’s why he’s going to learn the hard way in Ep 13 when he realize he can’t be with her lol. Then I’m going to be sad for HD. And then sad for YJ.

That’s pretty much my current gripe about the writing. Everything else I love. But let’s see if my opinion changes in the next four.

I love YJ.

But the writer has been testing my patience lol.
Because I saw YJ as really wise and upright & someone sticking to his principles made me admire him as a ML but I guess that isn’t so when it comes to love lol.

At this point it’s not really about the age-timeframe now or anymore lol. In ep 8 before the confession, you can see he doesn’t like when HD avoids him. He grabs on to her backpack & tells them they should walk home together. HD is trying to avoid him but he pulls her in.

She tries to give him the money & leave but he insist he doesn’t want it because he wants her to be there when they buy Icecream together. Then he proceeds to wipe her face (where there wasn’t even icecream lol). Like all these little gestures to a 18 year old confused teen whose never falling in love, it gives off mixed signals. And at this point, it’s obvious that YJ likes her in a romantic sense already but plays it off as teasing because it’s revealed the next Ep that he does love her(platonically-romantically).

I honestly think YJ already knew how HD feels about him the moment she saw her listening to his old tapes with his ex GF. And SW said that HD was listening to his tapes. Because when she went to the bathroom he literally went to find her. YJ didn’t even used the bathroom lol. He went out immediately the moment she left. Ep 8, there is alot of touch-physical moments between them initiated by YJ.

That’s why I said it would be nice to show him contemplate his actions more when he’s around her since he’s wiser in years-older.

I love BaekDo but when you have a character set up with these principles in mind, you have to follow through & well the writer didn’t really and now it’s kind of late lol.

I feel like if they show YJ contemplate & struggle with his (romantic) feeling & actions more it would actually give him waaay more depth than how’s he’s presented because atleast I know he’s thinking about it.

I also think the writer was trying to say ‘oh here’s YJ an adult & HD a highschool student’ & have him explain ‘oh this is to celebrate his job and they are seeing each other as reporter & fencer’ but the thing it doesn’t work lol. It’s like she’s trying too hard to have these boundaries set up between HD & YJ but the framework for it is not it lol. Things have been crossed already the moment he confessed lol since technically he fell in love with HD at 19(18). Also, he seeks her out & doesn’t like it when she avoids him.

Yeah I know. It’s not a date as in romantic but I’m speaking more so the way it’s framed-presented to the viewers. That’s why some people saw it as iffy. YJ appears as an adult while HD is in her highschool uniform. Because the people around them in the restaurant were couples. So it gave that illusion of a romantic date.

Like the writer couldn’t have HD out of her damn uniform lol.

Yep, you can’t setup those boundaries & forget about them. It doesn’t make sense from a writing standpoint. Because the thing is, we don’t ever see YJ contemplating his actions. He just goes with the flow when he’s with HD. I mean if your dress in a suit like an adult &have around a teenage girl, wouldn’t you be more cautious how people perceive you? We don’t ever get to see that from YJ. Like at the restaurant, he went there to celebrate it with HD for his job (not as a date) but as they enter, look at the people that’s there. It’s a bunch of couples. That’s why the framing of certain things feels off.

That’s why I’ve been questioning the writer’s handling of YJ.

I hope he doesn’t kiss her even though he wants to.

I don’t ship actors in real life because it’s not my thing. I find it odd lol.

If the chemistry is fire🔥onscreen, that’s what I want to see. Give me that heat in the show lol.

I think they can wrap up the story just fine in 4 ep, depends.
