V from BTS song 'Sweet Night' is the cutest thing ever. Please have a listen. It really captures the essence of Saeroy & his journey/friendship.

Who's ready for some classic Yiseo face slappin' lol.

It also has to do with the actor too. I honestly do not think Kim Dong Hee is a strong actor. The way he emotes expression comes off rather stiff. He isnt good at microexpression. His face doesnt move much lol. He doesnt play a convincing angonist. Him outing Mahyuni is simply because he wants to win, approval from his dad & from Yiseo. It just shows how obess he is with Yiseo. I mean he has to be somewhat not right in the head if he fines being treated terrible by Yiseo lol & rejected many times. I think if the viewers got a glimpse of GS being a bit angry or twisted as a young adult, him being a secret a$$ would be more organic. He did kill ants as a kid lol.

Yes, its not as easy & simple people think. There are definitely transactor in SKorea but coming out so openly is not a viable option. This is someones livelihood on the line. But then again im not from the transcommunity or from the lgbtq community in SKorea so I cant speak on their behalf on what they think of the show.

My issue is that it happen too late. His transition into a bad guy shouldve happened earlier on around ep 8 when he should have left to work for his dad.

Thats what my initial thought too but when i think about GS, theres some psychological thing happening. For someone whos a good kid, he did grew up in a toxic shitty household. Also, him wanting to be friends with Yiseo even though she treats him terrible everytime just shows there is something wrong in his head and how he percieves his relationship with people. He even went back to work for his dad. Its just my interpretation. Realistically, if friend treats you like shit youd leave but GS is not like that. He has a unhealthy mindset. His mom even treats him like a nuisance.

Yes, i undestand what youre saying. Yes i did see that you say a transperson should play the role. Its just that you mentioned s male actor playing the role so im just elaborating on it.

Yes, Transpeople experience 'gender' dysphoria. But then again im not from the lgbtq or transcommunity so what im saying doesnt hold much weight. Im just saying that a cis born male actor shouldnt play the part even though you say they can.

@Devils Advocate
In SKorea, it is not an easy and a simple thing to do to come out as part of the LGBTQ community especially as an actor in the mainstream/public eye. Yes, the show should have casted an actual transwoman to portray the character, no doubt. What im saying is that casting a cis born male actor who is not of the transcommunity/lgbtq isnt any better. They shouldnt play the role either because they dont identify as a transwoman in real life because theyve never experience what its like to live as a transperson.

What Im saying is that the role should be given to a an actor that identify as an actual transwoman. Not a cis male born actor who is not an actual transperson. Also, eddie redmayne got alot of flak for portraying a transwoman because he's not of the lgbtq or transcommunity who experienced the struggle/livelihood/transitoon of a transwoman. Casting an actual transwoman is better. Also transpeople dont have a ' general look'.

Casting a male actor & dressing him up as a woman would be the same thing with what they did with Lee Joo Young on the show. Casting an actual actor who identify as a transperson for the role is more befitting. Btw, the character identify as a woman so it shouldnt be given to a cis male actor.

Like MHY almost had a panic attack. She was ao blindsided by the whoe thing & people saying nasty shit to her has fuming!

Outing someone is like one of the most shittiest thing you CAN ever do to someone of the LGBTQ community. On an online news outlet????? & Without their consent!? GS is soooo out of line for that. MHY was the kindest person to him at Danbam.

SRY was gobsmacked when YS said 'i love you' lol.

PSJ & KDM's ears were sooo red during the confession/rejection scene lol.

Geun soo knows what kind of person Yiseo but chose to like her anyways even when she told him she didnt like him at all romantically. Yes she treats him terribly. Im not excusing her behavior btw. She isnt loyal to anyone because she isnt attached to people. The only person she has some sort of empathy/attachment/
loyalty towards is Saeroy.

I actually like his role here maybe because I like his charcter. I dont watch PSJ's drama much at all and this is the 1st one from him that im sticking with.

Same here. I saw the promo stills/poster & thought it was going to be a hip/college vibe about underdogs trying to win big against big corporate but i got the opposite lol. Like coming of age/youth drama lol.

They both are pretty aware of eachothers situation. Soo Ah is his first love/friend so ofcourse he wont cut ties/abandon her. Shes a coward & selfish ut Saeroy is stubborn & a but of a romantic. But as you said, its on him, not her. He chose to stay/like her even knowing her true intent. Its him who needs to let go.

Saeroy didnt push Geunsoo away or kicked him out. No one is villanizing GS. Saeroy is just reinforcing his stance since they got the public attention & Jangga is in hot water at that moment . Saeroy is going to put his brother in prison & hold his father responsible. Hes not going to stop his revenge plan/go easy on GS's father just because Geunsoo is related to them.
