I really liked how he just held her hand firmly when she said she was afraid of gossipers to indicate what's there to be afraid of when he is right with her. I really like these type of gestures in stories. They look more sincere than a jumble of words.
c-dramas and their nerdy philosophers. so sick of this trope. I have no idea about what's the obsession of c-dramas with making this trope their character's whole personality instead of just making it a part of them.
y'all, stop glazing the other couple. yes, they were 'healthy' but that doesn't mean they had the 'it' factor. tbh both couples were dissappointing. I think this history's whole purpose was to ruin its 'legacy'. This was such a terrible experience for me that I wasn't excited about its fifth sequel coming out at all and it made me opt out of this series altogether.
But then it was weird how he gave in easily in last ep. I mean the time limit is understandable but make it make sense like them getting together when he is graduated.
What I liked about this the most was how detached he was with him when he was a teen. He didn't shut him down completely when it came to his 'problems' but guided him to other sources for them to get resolved. Because it's often shown in student teacher romances that teacher was warm, responsive blah blah blah and that was why the 'loner' student fell for the teacher. I really like how he kept strict boundaries as a teacher just like how it should be cause idk it's better to be cold than misinterpreted.
it could've been saved for me if se hee died too cause it would be following it's prequel's principles and tbh that's exactly what made me click on this. Anyways, this sequel was way lazier in orchestrating death traps compared to its prequel.
Male gaze has ruined horror for me to the point where I'll prefer to read it than watch it. I did like its old vibe but that was all about it. couldn't understand why her sister and her boyfriend got the short end of the stick.
There is nothing which irks me more than the 'i can fix him' trope. like, girl you really got nothing better to do? or do you relish in masochism? I feel like this trope encourages women to kick their self-respect to the curb.
I'm getting such strong wanna-be vibes from it that it makes me wanna puke rather than making me feel good. both leads are conventionally attractive but the plot is so meh that I wouldn't be able to suffer with it even in my teens.
