😭😭😭 seriously!!! "would things have changed" just falls so flat and lack emotion. But "would you like me" pulls at your heartstrings. It just shows how important it is for the translated subs to not just translate the words but also the emotions.

I was wondering that too, but I think they might have cut those scenes in the end...

Jae Hee and Yi Jun are so precious together 🥹💗

Also, maybe the subs I'm seeing are the dub subs, but during the first confession in today's episode, when Yi Jun asked Jae Hee those hypothetical questions and whether it "would have changed things", what Yi Jun actually said in Korean was "Would you like me" 😭😭 So much of that direct yet tender emotion from Yi Jun was taken away. It's a shame a lot of those weren't properly conveyed through the English subs over the past 8 episodes. I feel that the English subs for this drama really didn't do the dialogues justice.

Feels like forever since I've seen Park Hae Jin in a new drama 😭😭😭

Ahh, okay I get what you mean. And I think you could be right too about them trying to gloss over it so that it doesn't feel too aggressive for people who still aren't comfortable with the topic. I have yet to check out Ep7, but hopefully it'll set things clearer for the audiences.

I think you've raised a really good point here. I feel that for some people, a lot of that fear or anxiety or struggle that comes with finding out their sexuality in this day and age and coming to terms with it, isn't because it's something that's personally unacceptable, but because it feels like most of society and people close to them *still* find it unacceptable and they're afraid of being judged or looked at differently. But this is just my personal opinion, of course.

I see where you're coming from, and I agree that it's still something that Koreans may avoid addressing even now. But I'm sure not all Koreans are like that and there are plenty who are like Si Hyun and Si A as well. But not everyone is the same, so some may react stronger to the realization, and some may just come to terms with it easier because perhaps to them, deep down, the gender never really mattered in the first place.

As for whether Yi Jun is gay, bi, or pan, I feel that there's no need to put a label on him. At least not for now. Maybe this doesn't make sense, but my perspective is, a lot of people are just discovering their sexuality as they go, and some may be more okay with whatever discovery they get, so maybe Yi Jun might be someone like that.

And I think in Ep6, we did see glimpse of Yi Jun coming to accept it, and it may carry on into Ep7 until the point where he finally learns the truth. But he feels like someone who's constantly masking his real emotions, so what we see is very subtle.

Oh, another thing, I feel that the English subtitles seriously made their dialogues too vague, which kind of took away some of the directness in Korean. Because if I'm not wrong, there are some parts where they specifically use the word "namja", meaning man, when talking about Yi Jun's crush on Jae Hee, but the word "man" was nowhere in the English subtitles.

Just want to make it clear that I'm not trying to argue or anything. I just think topics like that are worth having discussions because it's not talked about more often.

I really love Yeon Su's decision at the end. From leading her life the way her family wanted to eventually taking a firm stand on her choices where not even Dokgo Dal could change her mind, such character growth! Dal and Yeon Su are two precious characters and have absolutely cute chemistry. BUT, I will miss the relationship between Yeon Su and her aunt the most. Lol. Absolutely LOVE her aunt. She's such a mood. 😂😂

One thing I felt was a little too playing it safe, was having Namsu eventually do what his family wanted (though it may have been the most rational choice since he's got a baby to raise now), and also making the baby a boy. I hope baby boy wouldn't grow up having to bear all that pressure Nam Su had to bear growing up though. But I think would really break the mould of the family's conventional thinking by letting the baby be a girl. I'd like to see how the grandfather would react then. 😐 How would Si Eun be treated by the family if she had a girl instead? Would they still let her pursue her dreams after giving birth to their daughter? But since the writer made her have a boy, that gives the grandfather a great excuse to cut her some slack without showing if he actually changed his old-fashioned thinking.... Oh, and having Dal come clean about not shooting blanks to win over the grandpa... Yea, okay, whatever. Grandpa can have his happy moment but who's to say Yeon Su would definitely want kids in the future?

But honestly, I doubt most people at Grandpa's age would change their minds anyway. And I guess the writer's main intention wasn't to challenge everything that's conventional, but simply trying to make certain parts of it more relatable. This was overall a fun watch. It wasn't groundbreaking or anything, but it's nice to see a refreshing character like Yeon Su and her growing relationship with Dal. Honestly, this felt more like Yeon Su's journey of self discovery and self-value. A lot of people are more or less still being treated the way Yeon Su was, and I sometimes wonder if they actually want that life because it's truly what they desire, or just because it's what they've been told growing up.

Exactly!!! I really love it.

Certain parts of the English subtitle doesn't use "man", but in the original Korean dialogues, they used the word "namja" which means "man" in Korean. So yes, at this point, Yi Jun and even Si Hyun have been referring to Jae Hee as a man.

Yi Jun just can't catch a break 😂😂 Came to terms with being gay but immediately got slapped with the possibility of being a stepdad too 🤣🤣

Same thought!!! I feel like she wanted Jae Hee so that Jae Hee would no longer be under Taekang so Yi Jun's dad can't do anything about it even if he suspected something going on. She was trying to protect Yi Jun's love 😭😭

I think you also have to keep in mind that now in 2026, a lot of people are more open to discovering they're gay or bi, and won't react the same way most people would 10 years ago or even older than that in older shows. Because liking someone of the same gender is no longer seen as a huge taboo or something shocking or unacceptable, especially when this was shown through his friend and fiancee's open-mindedness about it.

So personally, I feel that Yi Jun's slight hesitation or denial at first made sense and wasn't overdone. It showed a realistic reaction but also reflected his open-mindedness shared by his friend and fiancee.

I actually really appreciate how the writer didn't have Yi Jun make a big deal out of his "gay panic" or think his life was over just because he thought he liked a "guy", because that could also, but not definitely, point to internalized homophobia. So I respectfully disagree that this wasn't taking the easy route but an indication that times have changed.

For me, it didn't clear the air entirely. It just made me feel that Si Hyun won't harm Yi Jun, but I have a feeling Si Hyun's got his own agenda going on too that Yi Jun doesn't know.

I kept replaying the part where he was mocking Kim Si Hyun at his office!! 😂😂😂

I was thinking the same too in previous episodes when someone asked about the siblings and said the eldest sister was the nicest. That just screamed SUS.

I still can't trust Kim Si Hyun though. Who's to say he doesn't have his own agenda going on as well? And what was it he wanted to know that Yoon Na Jung was luring him with?

It's still hard to be sure who can be trusted at this point. I'm even suspecting Jae Hee's senior, but maybe he's just secretly crushing on her and is getting jealous now. But I'm sure there's a mole among the cops.

Also, that Ep6 ending 😂😂😂 saw it coming miles away once the kid started calling Jae Hee "Dad". I thought Yi Jun might overhear the kid saying "Dad" on the phone, but the ending was better. The look on Yi Jun's face, omg hahahahah

I think it's a really fun watch and I'm really enjoying it so far. Out of the dramas I'm currently watching, I look forward to this the most.

I feel like once he finds out her gender, he'll start questioning the rest and eventually find out too. But I feel the same. I don't think he'd mind much about her gender, but would definitely feel hurt learning about her intentions.

Awww he kissed her thinking she's a guy 😭😭😭 Took him seeing her with another guy to slightly act on his feelings. He probably thought the senior was Jae Hee's boyfriend. Hahahaha. I wonder if he'll find out she's a girl next episode. Feels a bit cruel to still keep him in the dark, but I kinda wish he wouldn't find out so soon. 😛 At least let him confess first before finding out.
