ep 6
long as fuck
you have been warned
you can see me slowly losing my mind as I watch the episode 🙃

I think one of the reasons she acts this was is the fact she does not want to be vulnerable emotionally with a man she thinks is not serious about his own and her feelings. Which is also great writing and good internal conflict

That's exactly what his facial expression told me he was thinking 🤣🤣

I am not liking it
I AM LOVING IT. Every freaking frame of this show is amazing.

i took me 2 hours to watch episode 5 because i kept rewatching scenes and kept pausing coz of the feels

i will watch the episode tomorrow. I cannot handle more feels before bed, coz I won't be able to fall asleep 🤡

i know right! THE ACTING IS SO AMAZING 😭😭😭😭
and mix amazing acting with characters that are beautifully written and you get perfection

i am getting exhausted with how amazing this show is.

the scene where he was teasing her about calling him "dear husband" being so amazingly playful, but then he picked up the knife she left and saw she did nit fact have to use it and the worry on his face that just crushed my heart. Especially since he gave it to her with the idea to use if it a man will try to SA her. and then when he told her he is proud of her for using it 😭😭 or when he was disappointed and sad when she said she only called him "dear husband" because she confused him with YJ 😭😭

Also... the sadness on JH's face when he truly saw how YJ is completely brainwashed by the social expectations and standards. Honestly, the whole small speech YJ gave was just heartbreaking. How much he was lying to himself. It felt like that lie that king will protect the people at the end was the only reason he was able to deal with the situation in the first place.

KAJDSDFHGDWHJKFGHDSJKFGBADSJKFBDSFGDS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY GOOD SCENES! The way he looks at GC taking care of YJ because of his injury, while they give a slow close up to the blood dropping from his arm, because he is also injured 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS! when he lost his cool coz he felt jealous and they had shouting competition tho 😂 and then back to pain with how her words hurt him (and me) soooooooooooooooo deeply...

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE LACK OF MAKE UP AND HOW AMAZING IT IS!

내 마음이 달라 😭😍😭😍😭😍😭😍😭😍😭

When YJ yet again volunteered to go to the king, and JH faces went: bitch, what is wrong with you? How many times do I have to save you?

2 things I adore about this show (there is more, but these two were the ones I focused on episode 5)
Women solidarity.
The way GC trust JH with her life and follows his plans.

ep 5 thoughts

today's episode was honestly crazy in terms of screen time. It was literally like an episode of a drama where 3/4th of it focuses on the main character, and the rest is split among 7 other characters...

As much as I enjoyed JY at first, she is frustrating me a lot in the past few episodes. I find it kind of sad that only now she truly decided to give the guys chance and not be this closed off. Because this late in the show it only benefits her and I just feel bad for the guys. I think she simply does not know herself that well and is easily influenced by the situations she is in. Now that her "relationship" with Min Gyu is extremely complicated, out of a blue she starts to have feelings for Gyeo Re who is a safe and comfortable pick. If you show her dates with all the dudes to random people, no matter whose date someone will watch, they would say JY has feelings for that person. At first I thought - ah, she is good listener, really attentive, guys find that attractive. But she also does little things like putting her hand of guys knee, that go beyond her just being nice person who tries to make people around her comfortable. And you know what's the worst? I don't think she is aware of it. I honestly do not think she has a malicious intent, but the end result is what it is - all the guys are confused and cannot move on, because she kind of does not let them move on...

there's a saying, "if you don't have a plot add a stalker" and guess what, they did < omg yes hahaha they just added so much side bullshit, it was actually hard to watch the show at some point.

I'm losing interest coz I feel like they packed too much into this drama. We have FL and her toxic relationship with her mother, her supernatural power of questionable origin, ML and his traumatic past, his weird relationship with his mother, the stalker psycho idol, kind of shady CEO, asshole brother of ceo who gets money from ml, SML and his traumatic past and his relationship with FL, also rival producer and shit shit. And they even waste time on FL's mother's side rendezvous? If they won't chill a little bit with number of plots, they won't be able to develop shit...

This drama will not have the same level of viewership or extremely high rating simply because it's not written to attract a wide range of viewers. It has a specific tone, specific setting and it fits some but not all tastes. Historical shows like that do not have "something for everyone" to enjoy. For example, the fun, entertaining and silly rom-coms are often made in a way that a wide range of viewers can enjoy certain aspects of - hence we have like 2-3 side couples, strong comedy, but also melodrama, romance and now often even a mystery or a crime in the background - so no matter who starts watching, they will find something to like. They are more digestible and easy to view. And My Dearest is not that, so it will fit less people's tastes. Sadly...

Honestly, silly wattpad fanfic vibe this drama has is what I'm enjoying about it 😂

oh i feel you, it's extremely frustrating to watch. The fact it was more important to protect your virginity than your life for us in modern times just sounds like a really bad really dark joke.

i think it also depends on when they will all reunite. Coz chances are, by the time she meets YJ again, she will already move on and accept her feelings for Jang Hyun so there is a chance there will be no real love triangle but rather a couple and one dude in unrequited love 🤡

Exactly. Truth to be told, with how GC is acting (which is completely normal in out times) she would face even worse treatment in real life. Here the girls sometimes talk behind her back, but that's it. When chances are in real life her "chastity" would be questioned and she would have issues with marrying anyone, not to mention the guy she likes 🤡

yeah but her rejecting would go against how her character was written. They made it clear she liked him for ages and went through a lot of schemes to make him like her back (I'd say girl was semi-obsessed 😂). With her not yet accepting her feelings towards ML, if YJ confesses soon, it would confuse her.

Same. I honestly don't think it's needed, but at the same time they are setting it up hard, so if all the set up not lead to anything, this will go as a flaw in the writing for me 🙃 so there is no winning hahaha
