I hope if there's a season 2, that this is expanded on. The societal backlash of their relationship, Jae Won's trauma, his relationship with his dad, navigating their relationship even as Jae Won graduates, etc. There's so much they can unpack.

I do wish they'd given more space for a resolution to Jaewon's depression. It's not a light switch. Not even a resolution, just...more? More of a climax to it, and an aftermath? I was hoping for a crying breakdown, or something. Not just..wandering around lost, a talking to at the eatery, then suddenly he's a functioning human again. Not to say he looked entirely healthy by the end, I can tell they tried to show that he's on the mend and better, not whole, but still. I wanted a bit more of that to be fleshed out in terms of him facing it and treating it.

I adored this drama, but

Yo. Literally. How is anyone able to get through the CONSTANT. BELLIGERENT. SCREAMING. I have to watch this shit on mute. None of these kids watch a zombie movie? Screaming your face off, attracting the whole damn city of creatures. My god. Its making me rage so bad.

I totally get, on a logical level, why literal teenagers would act like this in such a scary, crazy situation, but ive watched plenty of young adult (and regular) zombie shows that didnt make my ears want to bleed. There are so many cool aspects of this drama i want to keep watching for, but these kids are BRUTAL to listen to.

Im on Ep2 where theyre running around screaming and falling on eachother belligerently, and its INFURIATING.

Bless the entrance of Lee Chun Ho. He is a tall glass of water.

The tonal shifts give me too much of a headache. They handle child abuse weirdly. It's a funny scene in one moment and a disturbing scene in the next. The abusive father figure has silly moments in one moment; then, he's scary and uncomfortable to watch the next. I don't know how to digest it. Secondary leads stole the show. The first FL bothers me with her hyperactive mood swings.

I wish he'd sing more. I love love love love his voice. I had this on repeat for weeks after I finished the drama, and it is back on my repeat list after finishing The Starry Love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzycWu6EFhk

Yeah, definitely the eyes!

Same. I'm in the middle of Ep 22 and I'm so annoyyyyedd with her. I'm also annoyed with our FL for believing BingChang AGAIN. Did she not learn from the dream sequence, to never believe any version of this woman? Ugh

1st ML visuals reminds me of Le Joon-Gi. 😍

This is a great explanation, thank you. A lot of this doesn't feel especially well translated in the drama, at least not at this point.

yup

at what point does our FL realize she truly loves our ML? Asking ambiguously because of the different character arcs/names. So far, we've seen her "love him" to protect him so he doesn't die before she can permanently kill him, and now she's "loving him" or attempting to, so that she can gain his love thread. It's fun to watch the hijinks and the flirting, but its also disingenuous and frustrating. Our ML has had a litany of betrayal, heartache, and abandonment. While he may not understand those feelings on a human, emotional level, it's unfair to watch him getting played over and over.

question for book readers (asking for spoiler)

same. I'm anxious to get back to the main storyline and the dream arc has been too tropey for me, but im still really enjoying it for a slew of other reasons.

hahaha, that's a great description

This whole dream sequence is ripe with trope after trope after trope. The misunderstandings, the jealous 2FL, the noble idiocy- OVER IT. Pleaseeeee, can we move onnnn. It's visually gorgeous, and the fight scenes are spectacular, but I'm ready for the next arc.

I didn't bother reading your lonnnng paragraph. I'm half tempted to write 20 more comments about LYST just to piss you off. Maybe go take a walk if you're so wound up.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Didn't catch it when your wrote it like that. I recall he liked her first (and we as the viewer saw that), but she squeezed his hand first.
