Fake It Till You Make It Episode 2
0 people found this review helpful
When I watched the first episode, I thought, “Yeah, it’s nice, but nothing special.” That was it. But after finishing the second episode, I realized this show oddly reminded me of early 2000s American rom-coms and honestly, that made me so happy.Recently, I saw a YouTube video saying that romance movies —you know, rom-coms were basically dead. Hollywood studios can’t afford to make them anymore because they cost too much and don’t get enough visibility with all the streaming competition.And then, suddenly, I stumbled upon this show. By the end of episode two, the leads are sharing a screen, watching a movie together on streaming, with *one pair of earphones* in a café it was so adorable. There were so many little moments that truly captured the nostalgic charm of 2000s romance. It honestly warmed my heart. I’m really excited to see what happens next.

Spare Me Your Mercy Episode 2

Let’s talk about the two major points from this episode:1) The doctor’s cleverness:“I’m not following you because I don’t want you to suspect me, I’m following you because I like you” — was actually brilliant. It’s classic misdirection. As Sun Tzu said in The Art of War: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” By framing his actions as romantic interest, the doctor both disarms suspicion and makes things awkward enough that the officer is likely to let his guard down — or at least not take him as seriously.But here's the catch: this specific officer won’t be fooled so easily. His mother died under suspicious circumstances, so he’s already highly alert and emotionally invested. That "charm and confuse" tactic may have worked on someone else, but not on him.2) The doctor isn’t acting alone:This wasn’t just a one-man job — he’s clearly part of a team. That changes everything. There’s a bigger picture here, and we’ve only seen the surface. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this will unfolds in the next episode.
