There are so many crossdressing make up artist male leads, I don't how this became such a popular idea but I love it regardless. Ever since I saw kuragehime as a kid, I loved this dynamic. It's cute and special. I'm liking it so far, on episode 6.

I have a feeling this show might end in a cliffhanger, or at least there will be a few loose ends.

In a round about way, what the main character needs is acceptance. I just wish it wasn't from anyone else but her, maybe that's what will happen. IDK. However, she didn't turn back when she prayed to be a girl forever, it's when Yoon Jae did...so looks like she needs him. Meh.

Anyways, loved seeing Yoo Jung Hoo ❤️ 🙏🏻 I love his portrayal and its sincere. I'd want a season 2 of him as Ji Eun. Maybe the sister switches gender, and Ji Eun gotta teach her the ropes. And a Ji E/Hun +Yu Ri + Min Hyuk love triangle would go craaazy.

fainting and being bed ridden from homophobia 🚬🙂‍↔️

LOL, no answers for you still, we are all wondering this and it's not yet answered as of episode 10 (only speculation in comments). MAYBE, the ml views 2fl like a close college friend he doesn't wan't to upset or abandon. She's still in pursuit.

can ji eun and ji hun cell divide and become two people, pretty please? yoo jung hoo, my beloved 😭

Well, I understood that k-dramas used to film, write, and produce the show while it was currently airing. Very similar how they do it with American soap operas (which are confusing, imo).
I don't know if Korean network television still does this process, but sometimes episodes aren't edited until right before and go through last minute changes. They are indeed playing with our minds 😂

Even though I love "Ji Hun" because I love how the actor is portraying this character, and he is so cute with everyone that I'd love to see him forever ❤️, I don't want that for Ji Eun 💔 It's tragic. Maybe she'll turn back into a woman AND still dump Yun Jae. I don't know if his actions are forgivable.

The show tries hard to make it seem that Ji E/Hun does the same with all the girl characters, like the brief Yu Ri flirtation, now Min Ju in bed with her. However, it's just not the same in my eyes. Maybe that is biased, but I think Yun Jae entertains it, whereas Ji E/Hun does not. She is trying to navigate her special situation that causes this misunderstandings, Yun Jae has NO excuse.

I see this more of a light-hearted comedy, so I'm not going to be too mad if the main couple ends up together, as I don't take this show that seriously, but… I'm smart enough to not think they're cute together.

What did ya'll think of the grandma/grandpa storyline? The character and story is not about transgender people, but borrows a lot from their experiences and societal struggles, imo. It is surprising to me how the mom treated the grandmother, given they shared the same experience. Just interesting 🤔

I saw the same scene in the preview, Ji E/Hun says, "I'm getting used to living as a man." Not "permanently" but she is having fun? That scene wasn't in episode 8 (I don't even see Ji E/Hun wearing the same outfit). Maybe deleted? It could've been that the network didn't want that on air? Or it's a different future episode.
I don't know, this episode's story is totally the opposite, she is so pained to live as a man. dw it is confusing. 🤔

Min ju is still on her villain arc I see 🚬 🙂‍↔️

They should comment on the double standard. They set Min Ju up to be hypocritical and Yun Jae to, I don't know…infantilize her? All the other characters are so well adjusted except them. Those two deserve each other, imo. The major theme is performative gender roles and double standards with looks, it's right there, they are half way to commenting on this other issue. It'd be interesting satire.

Yes, she was single white female-ing her. I was genuinely afraid for the characters around her. She is not in the clear, yet. I see Jieun forgiving her too easily because she seems to be a well intentioned, slight push over. Min Ju needs to have a heroic act or completely change by the end to help her case.

Well I ship as her as the woman she is with Yu Ri, I think others maybe doing that, too. That's what I'm trying to say. It's not black and white for me at least, I don't automatically see her as a man (unless she starts identifying as such). I use "Ji Hun" to relay the brilliant efforts of the actor in his character. He makes his character his own. I wouldn't be complimenting Ji Eun/A Rin in that instance. The characters also differentiate the persona of "Ji Hun", Yoon Jae included. So we are also talking about the male persona she puts on for others. It's really just an easier, better way to communicate.

She goes by Ji Hun in boy form, so it's not disrespectful. We can't help if that's what the show/character decides.

The writers knew they needed to humanize Min Ju. The stalker got a stalker. Hopefully, she turns a new leaf. Maybe she'll see through the curse and realize her new friend should be treated with respect.

NOT THE AVENGERS MUSIC 🤣

What's causing the constant switching back and forth between man and woman is the ongoing mystery that Yoon Jae and Ji H/Eun are trying to figure out (the kissing debacle came from them theorizing a kiss would transform her back like a fairytale). Kim Ji Eun's family has a generational curse where one of the women turn into a man in early adulthood explained in episode 2. It happened to Ji Eun's mom. The parents alluded to it being a curse from a witch when they were kids, but a faulty gene when they were grown ups. It's not clear but that's what we have so far.

Well, if you think about it, the genre is called gender-bender, but it isn't the characters switching gender. Gender is social construct. The main character is switching sex. She still identifies as a woman even when she's in a male body. Her BF still acknowledges the gender she is. It is sometimes a struggle for him to look past sex=gender, but he is and this situation is challenging his perspective. He's just also an awful character that we can't even appreciate when he does see her for her 😂

This drama probably hits like crack cocaine if you like boys and girls. Who can be mad at cuties Ji Hun and Ji Eun? (We band together to collectively hate on Yoon Jae).

You are valid for this. I'm watching for Ji Hun and Yu Ri, while I'm side eyeing Yoon Jae the whole time.

The way I was giggling and rolling around at the NK joke, omo. And we got our Ji E/Hun & Yu Ri kiss ❤️ Edit: also the sis applying mascara to her lips by accident was hilarious as well.
