Hushin does it right. JY kept talking about MG on all their dates, he understood what it means and he is not trying to play dirty, he decided to support her and give her space to decide herself.

As for MG, how I see it, he finds both YS and JY attractive, he actually likes JY more, but because of his personality he gravitates towards YS more simply because their interaction and situation is not complicated. No one else goes after YS, he likes her, she likes him, there is no tension, he would not hurt ant of the other guys by "stealing" the girl their like. All the guys basically approved of him meeting with JY and push for it, but the pressure was too much and he felt so uncomfortable in that situation he still decided to go out with YS.

Also, not GR and MG going on a morning date walk on the beach 😂😂😂

JW might not show up much, but his lines are like punches 🤡 the way he turned towards MG and with that semi smile semi smirk asked if he already decided on his plans today and if he won;t decide fast, he's just going to go 😂 His lines are legit out of kdramas.

I think one of the reason everyone pushed MG to ask JY on the date even tho they like her too was for them to finally solve the tension and their relationship out. Because before these two decide to either get together or move on, one one else can move on and make any decision. They basically just wanted to get over it all.

I kind of wish JY turned down dates earlier on too. This is the first time I see her indirectly suggest she does not want to go out with someone. And realistically speaking after her first date with both JW and GR she knew she had no feelings for them and was not attracted to them, so if she was more on the indirectly rejecting them instead of going on dates with them, I think they maybe would be able to move on. Since they would not develop such a strong feelings towards her.

Ju Mi is too nice. I think this is why she is not popular, because her attitude towards guys when they are in the house feels more like a supportive friend rather than potential date. Literally ALL the guys said she seems different 1:1 compared in the group. So for the longest time no one considered her as a romantic partner, and when she finally had a chance to go out with them, it was too late coz they already started to strongly like someone else. Like... it's extremally easy to mistake her interest for just her being kind.

MG asking JY is they can talk and JM;s reaction with a knowing smile on her face: TEA! 😂

JY telling HS he was not really expressing he likes her in an obvious matter. Now HS telling JM the same thing. What a fucking circus 🤡

JY girl. we need to talk. you cannot talk how you don;t want to confuse Gyeo Re and then slide your hand across his knee and leg while laughing the the cute photo you took together. I am sure the dude felt that in his break, heart and every nerve in his body 😂😂😂 also, IF YOU KNOW YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUCKING TIME YOU DO NOT TELL THE DUDE THINGS COULD HAVE CHANGED IF YOU HAD MORE TIME. I honestly felt so bad for Gyeo Re during this date, and I did not quite like how JY acted.

Her focusing only on a date she in on is great for the first half of the show, but by now she should be more concrete on what she wants and who she likes, but I feel like she leads guys on a bit.

Overall, it's a mess and I'm rooting for HS and JM 👍🏻

damn i missed Park Hae Jin in his badass roles ❤️
BUT THIS DUDE IS NOT BADASS, BITCH IS COMPLETELY UNHINGED LOL
also... not them executing good plot twist in just episode one 👍🏻

I vibe with the bunny killer too 😂

Overall, it's kind of silly, but fun. I always liked the crime stories where the public judgement is the key factor so this just works perfectly for me. Also, love the cast - the mains and the supporting. Great variety.

one episode per week is a joke tho 🤡

100% is. Kdrama writers do not have the guts to make the male lead in rom-com a killer 😂

I just wrote a comment about it, what I think:
I think it's another "Pinocchio" type of a deal. In Pinocchio as long as she believed she is telling the truth she did not have a hiccup. Here, as long as he believes he is telling the lie, she will hear him say lie, even if factually he is saying the truth. More likely than not he is just feeling guilty about her death and he took the blame in himself - convinced himself she died coz of him. So now when he says he did not kill her, it rings as lie, even tho it's true.

THE WAY IT DINGED WHEN HE SAID HE DID NOT KILL HER 😂😂😂

Dude truly did barely anything but I'm 🔥🔥🔥
I guess I'm in mood for rom-coms 😂

the way he stepped in front of her when the dude started to walk towards them 🔥
the way a man can do bare minimum and I'm all 😍🤡

And then the way he moved her behind him during the bar scene 🔥🔥🔥🔥
YES MA MAN MOVE ME LIKE A FUCKING FURNITURE HAHAHAHA

True, how the carry the transition now is the key of whenever first two episodes were good set up, or just poor start that feels like a completely different drama.

i feel like the beginning is more like the mid part of the drama or something. Not the ending.

I honestly kind of gave up on Korean period dramas. I dropped 99.9% of the ones I picked up past 4 years 🙂 Bloody Heart was the the rare case I loved, and now this seem to give me similar vibe.

it think they might bait tragic ending, but give some bitter-sweet semi open one

I think the "fluff" episodes were supposed to give a proper set up for FL and the people around her - how "delusional" and care free they are. How they do not understand how painful war is, so when the fighting actually happens, it will have bigger impact. Like the scholars just ranting about how the king should just go to war, as if they understand what war truly means. How FL ignored the tales of raped girls during the invasion etc. I actually think the light hearted introduction was a perfect choice for the more heart breaking and angst plot.

I have shed a tear of happiness. First two episodes were pure perfection.
Will this become Bloody Heart pt2 of excitement for me?

Truth to be told, I have quite a lot of trust in the screenwriter. Rebel was AMAZING too and I know, she is capable of writing 30 episode drama that does not get draggy and the plot makes sense. So even My Dearest being two part series does not really scare me at all.

So as for the episodes and some scenes that caught my attention.
First of all, is it just me who thinks the man from the opening waiting for ML is actually FL cross dressing? The moment they showed that person's reaction to the ML's name, I was like... that's FL right? And the whole cross dressing in episode 1 kind of felt like slight foreshadowing. Or I am just reading too much into it... Tho now after finishing the ep it might also be the singing guy 😅

I adore both leads. I love how delulu, but somehow valid in her delusions FL is. Also, that she is not this delicate flower. Yes, she is rather "naive", but in a completely different sense than we usually get. I am also sure while she will go after him first, but he will actually fell for her first - like that's is so fucking obvious. From the outside it will look like she likes him more and he just flirting and is not serious, but buy will be so far gone it's not a joke. I am already sooooooooooooooo excited about the romance. When he went: give up on him and come to me, I FUCKING DIED! But everything that followed made me want to kill him 🤡

Not gonna lie, the running joke of his dick not working is kind of funny 😂😂😅🤡

Nam Yeon Jun is such a fucking liar lol Sure you were just nice to her, that's why you leaned into the kiss 🙃 He obviously likes FL, but he is the "good loyal guy" hence he agreed to be engaged to the pretty lady like lady. But the moment ML and FL will get more and more connected, dude's gonna do 180 🙃

First two episodes were a perfect fluff and fun set up for all the angst to come. The ending of episode 2 was just chilling. I also love how we know nothing about ML... like, how does he have all the money and connection, who exactly is he (also if it's in synopsis, I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW LOL I went into this show just seeing the poster and the cast, I know nothing about the plot and I want to discover it all by just watching 🤡).

First two episodes were so good I want to cry.
shit gives me the same feeling Bloody Heart gave me

I think it's a lot of things, but mostly he hates and avoids complicated situations as much as possible. Hence the fact he is not 100% sure about her feelings (which is fair, she has great chemistry with literally all the guys, goes on dates with them etc. Which from her perspective not an issue, that's literally what the show is about) and every guy is into her and he became friends with them just makes him stop. Is it worth going for it and risk feeling so uncomfortable and possibly hurting a lot of people in the process when he is not even sure it will have happy ending for him and JY? I think he asks himself that question a lot. He clearly overanalyze everything, and what's worse he is not always right about his analysis.

I think it's exactly because they are young and innocent that's why they are more honest and it seems like they are more mature. Because they did not come across much pain and headache in terms of romance they don't fear the consequences as much as people who had some failed and painful relationships.

Jimin and Jiwoo date was truly great. It was obvious both have someone else they like, but they still had fun and were relaxed. They talked about little things, they talked about their feelings, Jimin was so mature in the way she talked about her feelings towards Jiwoo and her attitude about him not liking her back and being so direct in liking someone else. Just... truly enjoyable section of the episode.

Gyeo Re and Jumi's date was like a bitter sweet ending to a great slice of life drama (in terms of vibes). While both Ju Mi and Gyeo Re are attentive people, I think lately Gyeo Re was thinking more about himself (good for him tbh), while Ju Mi still takes care of others more than herself. There was no reason for her to talk about how Ji Young has a lot of care towards Gyeo Re and how she would like to stay in touch with him after the show except for making Gyeo Re feel better, even tho his curiosity and reactions were hurting her.
The whole date was bitter sweet, but still cute.
Me when Gyeo Re said he wants to go to more dates with Ju Mi: 🥰
Me when Gyeo Re said he wants to return favors she has done for him: 🙃

Hu Shin and Ji Young. Damn Hu shin is soooooooooooo gone 😂 he was almost crying and his hands were SHAKING when he found out he was going on a trip with Ji Young. That sleeping on his shoulder moment omgjhsdgfdfhj legit rom-com drama love it.

Min Hyu and Yi Su. I will be honest... I don't really care for Yi Su. She joined too late and most people were already set for someone, and he also was set for Min Gyu since they one so I just... stopped being curious about her. Still. I do think these two fit each other well. Min Gyu needs someone more straightforward and sure of themselves, because he is overthinking everything and not being able to make a choice - he just takes tooooooo many fucking things into consideration 😅 Like... he tries to be logical about everything, but he is still hella emotional about everything so he legit makes it hard for himself. He tries to rationalize everything even when the answer is just: that's how I feel. Best example is when he explained why he could not develop stronger feelings for Jimin because he cannot do it with someone who is not serious and confusing. But then... Ji Young is even more mysterious and confusing. He tried to rationalize his feelings, but when you look at the big picture... that rationalization made no sense. But I feel like it's hard for him to just admit he feels certain way and there is no complex well explained story behind it.

Best flirting goes to Gyeo Re and Mingyu when they were talking about picking rooms to sleep 😂
Not gonna lie, it's been a while since i enjoyed an episode so much. I think what this show failed at was having a directing. Everyone was left to do whatever and they were barely asked to go on dates and even then the choices were never limited - so we kept seeing Ji Young and Min Gyu go on dates with each other and other people. If they added more opportunities by adding rules (like, pick someone you never been on a date with etc), I think all the dynamics would look a bit different...

it worked in season 1, because they were not datin but now after dating for few months they still act the same way? someone struggled with coming up with good internal and external conflicts 🙃

Yep, this is a typical show that you watch for the scenes not the plot. I'm mot mad about it. These specific scenes are really entertaining 🤣

Them being in LATE twenties would be enough. Choi is supposed to be a working genius so we can kind of accept he wouod climb that ladder rather fast, and the other Jun qutting being idol in late 20' would also make sense
