I think they will get married because we've already seen Rara getting married to too many other men that are not the main lead, and also it would tie things together nicely with Hayoung and Seunggi's business.

and have hayoung and jun be half siblings?? lol

this drama has so many ambiguously antagonistic characters and then the new girl straight up drugs Jun right off the bat like?? There's only 2 eps left, no redemption arc for you, just get out of my sight as soon as possible!! If this mess drags on until ep 16 then please someone give me Oh Ji Young's email address so that I can send her all my grievances

Maybe, but sometimes the hands look older too

I hope we get a time skip out of this at least because Jun is still too young for my liking

Go Ara plays the piano, but I believe they use doubles as well. Someone posted a screenshot of a scene where you can see a woman wearing a mask in place of Go Ara (It was during the piano duet scene though I can't seem to find it myself so maybe it was super brief - I found it: https://youtu.be/-3zzhhAKmB8?t=173).

this is one of those dramas that would benefit from being shorter

why do they dress her like a 50 year old widow omg I want go ara to look glamourous as hell in her next drama

I didn't fall for the wedding thing so I can't believe I fell for Dr. Cha as ddsslls!! Also wowed by how Secretary Moon is just pursuing his dreams as an actor (btw, the same actor played go ara's teacher in 2005 so they really do go way back). I like how the writer tends to subvert our expectations, so because of that (and for my own sanity) I'm not going to worry too much about the next ep. But I won't make any more guesses in case I look like a fool again.

They confess their feelings at the end of ep 8 but they're basically co-dependent starting from ep 2. I've never seen love alarm but there is a love triangle in that there is another man pursuing the female lead. Or maybe like a love square since there's a girl that has a crush on the male lead? But the two main leads aren't swayed by them and only have eyes for each other.

adding onto this I suggest you watch go ara and lee jaewook playing games on the swoon! I like their real life chemistry there and maybe it will help you warm up to the female lead

Did you like the thriller aspects of swdbs? There is a minor thriller/mystery subplot in ddsslls but it doesn't become important until the latter half. I saw that you don't like the female lead, and I would say she starts to become more self dependent at around ep 4. If you're watching for LJW then his character doesn't really open up until about ep 5

if you dropped shopping king louis, strong woman do bong soon, and weightlifting fairy then I don't think you will like this

really hope the nosebleed thing + health check up suggestion isn't going to lead into anything because with 4 eps left I think it's time to wrap things up

also
-Rara's meeting with Jun at the juice place (?) after the stalker bumped into her and took her wallet
-and we never saw in the drama the first ever teaser scene where Rara walks up to Jun at a coffee place (?) and he asks for his money back and she says "hm?"

maybe!

he's not but I wouldn't mind it as a plot twist

Maybe she's like a Dad-approved-future-potential-wife-that-he's-rejected-in-the-past kinda deal? I don't think another girl would be his first love because the writer seems to be focused on themes of fate and innocence in Jun and Rara's relationship like she did for Shopping King Louis.

Anyone dislike how Dr. Cha is Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol? I know he's a weird guy but asking some girl you don't even know to come to your new town of residence so you could be her mysterious benefactor seems like a bit much. I was hoping DDSSLLS would be the grandpa (who is secretly related to her) because then it would add an extra layer of fate to Rara and Jun's relationship (and a grandpa using Instagram makes sense after all they said about Jun teaching him how to use his phone). It would also make sense to me if DDSSLLS was the stalker since, again, it seems like a weird thing to do for a girl you don't know.

I think the actors themselves didn't know who DDSSLLS was up until the filming? Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not fluent in Korean, but they talked about DDSSLLS in Ara/Jaewook's K-terview and that was the impression I got. I wouldn't be surprised if the writer didn't know who DDSSLLS was either and just made it up along the way, like Dan Humphrey being Gossip Girl.

Cute nod to extraordinary you. I'm more surprised the Netflix translator bothered to translate that part for us? Otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it
