I don't think the show was villainizing him for turning down Wandee, it was because he asked him to give up the scholarship by playing on his feelings for him.

It's very purposeful, the drama is saying that superpowers are meaningless without care and love and empathy. The most touching moments Gwiju has had with the female lead are his small acts of kindness like tying her shoelace and bringing back the shaved ice. It's not about big showy moments or rescuing people, that's a trap he's put himself into. You see that with Bok Eomma as well, she's been so fixated on power that she's lost her humanity and her ability to see her children for who they really are. Human beings don't necessarily have a lot of control over their lives but they can always choose to be kind.

She doesn't do vulnerability the way other actresses do. I had trouble with it too at first but now I kind of appreciate it because we're at a very emotional part of the story and when she does let her guard down it lands hard.

💯💯💯 He's the only Bok family member who hasn't gotten a direct benefit from the scammer family yet. This is going to be his connection to them.

A lot of people can't handle complexity or morally gray characters in their K-dramas, they want an immersive fantasy where they can lose themselves in the feels. Plus there has been a jaw dropping amount of slut shaming of the FL.

I don't think it's part of the same scheme, I think Dahae's scammer family is going to take down the scammers

I think one of the most important lessons for the Bok family is to empathize with other human beings without regard to powers. Because through their fixation on their powers, they've lost their own humanity.

I literally just tweeted that https://x.com/daebakpodcast1/status/1794931370445459581. People keep underestimating her. She's not just a fragile schoolgirl, she's also got superpowers and nerves of steel. She knows what she wants (a real family) and she's pushing her father to get it for her.

Also, people keep trying to stuff the women in the drama into certain stereotypes like Evil Schemer and Bullied Schoolgirl but the drama itself refuses to do that. The women are all complex, intelligent and powerful in different ways, yes even Ina. Maybe especially Ina.

That's what I think too. It's significant that in Ep 7 Ina told her father you did it, you finally saved someone (Dong Hee), now go save Dahae. https://x.com/barxspel/status/1794484634878914774

For one thing, they are now talking which wasn't happening at all before. Second, she understands that her father's healing and her own relationship with him depend on Dahae. Also, one of the past moments he revisited was when they were eating together as a little found family. I understand what people are frustrated because I've definitely felt the same in points but given all of the massive clues of Dahae's importance to his family it doesn't seem crazy to me that he's trying to figure out what exactly happens to them in his future and her past.

ETA: I forgot the scene where Ina looks her father in the eye and then happily says "You spent the day with Dahae" https://x.com/jangkidragon/status/1794731844988203321

That jumped out at me, it was awful

I thought the same thing omg please no

Based on his reaction to seeing her scam the potential husband I think he likes her. He admires how smart and resilient she is.

I have to leave the house and have a life but driving by to say HOLY SHIT EP 8 WAS SO GOOD AND THIS SHOW KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER

I cosign everything you said here, especially this: "I understand why they like each other because, in the end, they're two broken people who finally got some hope thanks to the other one" I am a huge simp for broken people who are puzzle pieces who only fit each other, it's my absolute favorite trope and I'm getting fed so well here. It's a trope I see more in Japanese dramas than Kdramas so it's cool to see a high budget production that only Korea can put out that also touches on these themes.

Based on the way this show has handled sexuality, I think the writer and director wanted bisexual representation.

Damn! He looks so much younger too

The Episode 8 pre-release is out and it's freakin' hilarious https://x.com/athousandstephs/status/1794544524611748218

Either it's because she guessed it rather than read it in his mind or we're going to have to handwave past that bit 😅

This show never serves us anything in an expected or straightforward way so I'm going to vote no to Bok Appa having an affair.
