yay! the number on my list won't be odd anymore.
But why?? I thought olympics are over now.

Oh. You're right. Of course.

It looks so off on her, like she wasn't used to moving around with so much body mass and her eyes are the only vivid part of her face. I thought that maybe there's a mistake in a cast and my facial recognition skills are below average, so I wanted get a second opinion.
A makeover incoming then, I guess.

/please don't hit me, but/
Is Chae Soo Bin (the princess) wearing a fatsuit? She is, right? The lower part of her face looks so stiff it keeps bugging me.

Well, let's hope they won't kill the leading actress in a midway this time.

Surplus princess. R88. Dream High.
/+ maybe Shut Up: Flower Boy Band?

also, that would be a good moment for taking bets on how long will she manage to keep her identity hidden. I wonder what's the record.

All the sleep watching scenes, sneaky gazes and feels™ aside, this writter has a gift for writting those tiny little scenes that seem almost spontaneous and don't push the plot forward, but make connections between side caracters more complex and believable, and the cast delivers it perfectly. I'm here shipping them left and right. Ahn Jae Hyeon's "were you always this cute?" at the beginning, the sequence with the girl showing the team leader her experiment on a camera and his awkwardness afterwards when they're making ramen. There's so much tension from unexpected sides.

I wish she was written more convincingly. The moment she appeared in episode 1, I pitied her and wanted her to wake up and now she's only going downhill. Girl, get a grip.

Wasn't the male martial arts instructor the father is looking for named Kang?
And since you brought it up, that would make the bodyguard the only one who isn't related to her by blood *winks* /*frantically dances with eyebrows and bursts into giggle thinking of hellish pomeranian choirs again*

I can only speak for myself, but I strongly dislike his personality. I have nothing against the actor (I'm seriously considering rewatching High-end crush), and frankly all of them make me cringe more than swoon (including grandpa), but he's just hard to root for. The mixture of self-righteousness, his issues with money (simultanuously enjoying privileges and playing ordinary boy, throwing money on people while roughly knowing their circumstances, bringing it up in a condescending way, being selectively nice to people - that's a huge red lamp in my book. He's noble enough to make scenes and judge everyone, but not enough to pay for his groceries instead of leaving it to some random girl that works several part time jobs. As far as I am concerned, he can take the clingy ex-gf and go for a long vacation.
I feel you on the anti-playboy sentiments. It's boring and totally unrealistic to dream of such a change, I admit. But who else? The singer seems like a nice boy, but is forgettable once he leaves the screen.
The bodyguard is a serious option. I'm inclined to see both the player and the thug as a distractions from him for now.

I hope not, but it's probably him. But please, let it be anyone else. The player (hey, he has more screentime!). Even the bodyguard for once.

*your post has been reported for not including word cliche*
Because, you know, it has to be clearly and repeatedly stated.

1st rule of Yosan School fight club: you do not talk about fight club to your demonic substitute teacher.

I can see some harsh remarks here, but I still enjoyed it. It shouldn't be treated too seriously. It has a flow and logic of a dream. For something nearly plotless, it delivers right emotions and power plays. And the stylist clearly had fun.

not only creepy, but also a terrible boss. How did he manage to run a company with that attitude?
I almost sided with the other guy.

this show makes further progress by the end of episode 1 than a better part of Cheese in the Trap. Look what's possible when you take the mysterious love interest oozing with charsisma and creepiness out of the equation.

in case you don't have a 35 hrs to spare or dislike watching different versions of the same story in a short span of time, but still want to know what are you getting yourself into, major SPOILERS:














in the Chinese version, not all princes falls for her. I'd say only 2-3 matters and it's quite well motivated. In no particular order:
1. one is a non-romantically involved male friend who already has a lover [I read they may gonna change it tho],
2. one initially has a crush on her, but becomes forced into other relationship and gradually learns to accept his situation,
3. one who she choses at first [a distraction]
4. one is the true lead
5. one is his sidekick, who develops his own feelings
Plus, the proportion is different because in the Chinese version there are 20+ princes. There are also other men who value her without subtext (king, head eunuch, errand boys etc.).
But basically, yeah. RH. It's still almost believable tho, because there's some character development even on part of 'jealous court ladies' and countless wives of all aforementioned, no 2D characters, but dynamic relationships. Some of the wives are rather cool about this whole situation and the heroine interacts with other women who aren't related to the romantic plot (her coworkers).
I wonder how they will fit it all in 20 eps.

the real question: is the webtoon still running? because that's some serious mood killer.
