I have to re-watch it. Timestamp and episode?

Timestamp?

Huh?! I think the OP is referring to her being drunk and him confessing his feelings... But how is it a plot hole? She drunkenly step on her mp3 player, and by luck, the record button got pressed.

Ditto. 🥴

To be honest, when men and women are just friends, there is no concept of physical space because of the high level of trust. So, I understand why they may have been okay with sitting close together. It's like when friends are goofing around and the silliest things seem ridiculously funny.

I don't think she whispered his name in the preview. I think it was her mental voice, she was dreaming of him. I know they are going to leave us hanging with Sun Jae clutching his head and walking into the busy road... 😑

If you like this one, I will suggest you another.

The reason why I liked Rest is because both the song and its lyrics are so melancholic and haunting.

Actually, I am a language fiend. Bad translation doesn't usually deter me. I can simply re-write lyrics off of the translation. 😉 For me either the lyrics must be correct linguistically if it's a language that I know, in this case, English; or it's a language I don't know and hence, blissfully unaware of any bad grammar or syntax. The instrumentation and/or beats also play(s) a role in whether I like a song or not. So, I do enjoy songs in languages I don't understand.

Yes! Remember The O. C.? Its title song still bangs to this day.

OMG! This so well done! So reminiscent of 2000's American teen shows wherein actors actually looked like teenagers or atleast in their early twenties.

Oh. Okay. Thanks.

Damn. And I thought it is all fun and games.

No worries. I love detailed replies. BWS recommended Rest by Lee Mujin, the only song that I loved from CD and still sometimes listen to. I skipped the concert parts too on my first watch, LOL. I admit that I am not a die hard fan of the soundtrack. However, the songs are pleasant to listen to and enhance the scenes. I anyways am not much into soft ballads or pop. Exceptions, however, do exist. I really like Spring Snow but the incorrect syntax of the English lyrics diminishes my enjoyment. I don't claim absolute prowess over languages. However, if I am aware of bad grammar and syntax, I am unable to enjoy it fully. I must say that I appreciate that the music production team did not autotune the fudge out of BWS's singing voice. It helps that he naturally seems to have a nice sound and can carry on in tune and he put in the hard work.

I, too, have been left disappointed by reading too much into scenes. I totally get you. 😄

IKR?! The direction and execution was incredible, something I remind myself not to expect in a romcom.

Oh. Okay. After the reveal in E02, I had re-watched the first episode when I noticed he was the only one who didn't clap when the host chirpily declared that she had won a pair of running shoes. He looked nervous and in anticipation of something which I had earlier chalked up to the stereotypical moody, brooding and cold KDrama lead.
I felt his delivery was off too but I assumed that he thought it's funny in a morbid way that he wanted to die while his fans felt thankful towards him for existing. Then I re-watched the trailer after E02 and realised that they had hinted at it all along.

My rough patch is far from over... However, fictional characters winning at life does provide a little bit of comfort. Hang in there. Hugs! 🥰 I simply cannot bring myself to like KPop for a variety of reasons. Usually, if I do end up liking a Korean song, it usually is underrated af. LOL. No one else seems to talk about it. During Castaway Diva's airing, everyone was going gaga over the soundtrack. I wasn't except for one song. I enjoyed the story to bits but the songs felt cringe. I am not dissing anybody who loved it. Different strokes for different folks. The one song I really loved wasn't sung by PEB. Interestingly, I got randomly suggested an earlier interview of BWS on YouTube, before LR blew up the way it did, wherein he was asked what song he had been listening to recently and he answered that he liked the song that I loved from CD! I was like, this man has good taste. 🤣

P. S. : Actually, my question was regarding the time when you realised about the E02 twist...

That first episode, and Zhao modulating her voice in the trailer eeked me out big time. I thought I was the rare unicorn who could not stomach it, and hence, did not watch it at all. The way it was flimed with romantic lighting and music, goodness! I guess they wanted to show a young girl's crush on a much older boy which is quite probable in real life, but the execution was woefully lacking. I usually don't have problems with edgy premises as long as it is not romanticised. But, HL made me feel creeped out. Young Chinese girls in real life don't speak that way.

Oh, I misunderstood you. Actually, 18 is legal age in my country but there are some things one is prohibited from doing till s/he is 25. But, yeah, at 18 years, you are pretty much a kid. Being 19 and 23 respectively is better as the younger one atleast has a year of adulting down.
