Also can we just take a moment to appreciate the "you're both 30, you should at least go this far" or whatever the exact line is! Because haven't we all been asking this of kdramas forever?
The way a lot of these fangirls feel entitled to these celebrities lives is legit INSANE, they need professional…
It happens here (North America) too. Maybe not physical harassment (at least none I'm aware of) but I've seen "fans" cyber bully the significant others of celebrities. And yeah I dislike that she forgave them so easily because its a serious issue both online and offline that should be dealt with as a serious issue.
The worst thing about episode 3 is that I wish I could say the representation of fandom here is blow out of proportion but its actually so accurate >.> Fandom gets ugly sometimes.
Does tvN have a licensee for Celine Dion's Power of Love or something? I feel like I've heard a lot in dramas...an instrumental version is playing during this elevator scene! :) :D
A thing they haven't explained yet is how Sung Mo had a fresh shackle wound on his leg as a high schooler. The bad guy found them, we know that, but I thought he had found them and then burned the place down. But did he find them, torture them for a while, and then set the fire? The events leading up to the fire are still hazy, imo.
I want to start this but every Chinese school life drama I've watched goes the same way: fall in love, date, break up and don't see each other for years, maybe get back together in the final episode but sort of an ambiguous bittersweet ending. *puts on plan to watch list anyway*
I'm up to episode 19 and I don't get the hate in the comments for KimHa. Unless she does some drastic in the next 5 episodes I mostly just feel bad for her and I think she needs some serious help.
Is her brother listed as her childhood friend up in the cast? Or am I mixing people up?
oh.... just scrolled down and saw the commentary from everyone else on that tidbit of info. Here I was loving this awesome sibling relationship! They're gonna ruin it by making him secretly in love with her and creating a love triangle aren't they? Can we not???
I've seen worse in real life, they even push and hurt people to get closer to their "oppa", in my fangirling experience…
Yeah in terms of the spectrum of fangirling this is mid-range. (I'm not sure what that says about fandom as a community (set of communities?) that that's our middle though, tbh).
This looks super fun! I was wary about something exploring fan culture (since it can border on cringy when done wrong) but this looks like it will be good.
Me: oh no...... not the cinnamon roll?!
Show: Guess what?? :D
