unironically the most cinematic, compelling scene was jingyeong and sanghyeon running together...shin seulki is seriously a great actress (although why was this scene written to make jingyeong sooooo dramatic like someone died just bc she realised her love was one sided)
i actually really like how fast things are resolved- misunderstandings never drag on too much, its very refreshing and satisfying, this is a very well paced drama
so during miss korea arc there's clear disconnect and lack of chemistry between JH and YR, YR's constantly saying some mopey stuff about freindship and JH just,,, ignores it? until YR is stabbed? and then a year later everyone's back to normal? what is JH even doing in the end? why should she get the short end of the stick like that- so we see that YR is going to college and everything but what about JH...?
what was the point of this show, truly? i feel cheated, and i want my time back. two completely different shows, first half to the next, writer did a shit job with the second half. so many interesting characters, contexts, only for it to be all so... blah. when first half was airing i would eagerly wait every weekend, and now i just finished the last two episodes on 1.75x speed. - till the end YRXJP did not do it for me, and i never skip lovey dovey scenes. JP was just there? i did not feel their chemistry at all (even if the actors did a great job, their pairing just didn't work for me) - writer really fucked JH over, what does my girl even have left... she went through so much - cant just do a bunch of convoluted shit and then just put a 'marriage-happy ending' bow and call it a day - so many sideplots, no development. we're supposed to believe jeongbun and sangcheol just fell in love? how? they didn't show anything - i hated this miss korea arc - wtf is this makjang ass angle of YR getting stabbed for JH - all that JHXYS build up for WHAT. its like he just is there for her like her therapist, to say one inspiring line and wipe her tears. even in the end we only get a hand holding?? my god so frustrating
if i wrote this drama it was a great chance to make a compelling story about being in your messy 20s, being best friends but also liking the same guy, and then maturing and growing together and then realising in the end that neither of them should be with their 'first love'. because that's all 'first loves' are meant to be- fleeting yet momentous. wish we saw YR and JH actually get to pursue their dreams
what a shitshow man... its like two entirely different shows before and after the timeskip. just extremely shitty writing. when your characters are fundamentally changing (and not just normal amount of change that people go through) and fully acting so different than what you introduced them as (their core characteristics), we know you have lost the plot.
Aaaah.... how could ppl even THINK that YR and JH were best friends??? They never talked honestly... As one of…
bro all you do in spread jonghee hate. calm down and consume media with more nuance. not like she is not a flawed character but her circumstances haven't been kind to her either, also the plot is just shit at this point anyway for all the characters
loving it so far!
also for the evil uncle to be exposed asap
sanghyeon finally standing up for himself + love line with jingyeong will be interesting too!

ugh. i just cant. this could've been so nice
