Episode 3 is such an fucking 10/10 episode I cannot.

The presentation of the building curiosity after someone catches your attention, and then you start seeing and meeting them in random places. The accidental meetings made my heart flutter, maybe because the presentation is truly realistic - nothing exaggerated. When both of the characters start to be more and more aware of the fact they keep crossing paths, it's hard not to get curious where is will lead. I could not stop smiling even for a second. I loved everything about this episode. Probably my favorite piece of media (directing wise) I have seem this year. Perfection till the literally last scene.

"But now, even expressing like seems overwhelming"

The polar bear is of course the sweetest guy ever, kind, loving, caring... And has luscious lips ,dripping of gloss and with the sweet, sweet taste of soju...< this whole line is gold 🤣🤣

Been working 17 days with no day off + uni classes + additional work for my old boss 🥲 i understand your exhaustion

it is what it is 🤣
that said, I did think Lee Jun was cuter hahaha

i smell time jump to collage 😅🤣

obviously with his home situation he did not exactly have an environment that taught him how to deal with and express emotions in a good manner. What is good is the fact he is able to see that and he apologizes.
Also, as for the last scene in episode 4 I think his reaction was quite valid...

[episode 2] Great follow up after episode one, that invites you to take a look at your life, past goals, dreams and paths you chosen. Episode 2 opens the door for both self-reflection, but also made me wonder what is the role of an educator, how much the adults should dictate the paths of the youth based on their own understanding of the world, and who should take the responsibility for the failed dreams.

Should we keep going even if we see no success?
What is success?
Should we even strive for success, or is just doing what we love enough?

All that in the short under 30 minutes episode. Great acting from Han Ye Ri as a struggling artist Yeon Joo was a cherry on top.

[episode 1] Probably one of the best first episodes I have seen in 2023. Perfect introduction to the character. Even though the motivation for travelling is "vague" it clearly has a direction that the viewers can pick up on.

Following her on the trip let me take a moment to just relax and enjoy the views and the scenery. The straightforward and honest personality of Park Ha Kyung adds to the charm. I also appreciate how real the characters are - normal people in normal circumstances, taking a break from the busy and overstimulated world.

Joo Won was just so entertaining to watch 🤣

Realistically speaking, Yoo Jae obviously has some "repressed" romantic feelings for Han Joon that he is not aware of. The possessiveness is strong in here. Hope they will handle the realization well, also some boundaries setting - which Han Joon is already doing, so good for him.

I also kind of understand Park Jin Hwan and his take on one sided love and how he "likes it". It is a way of protecting himself, also a thing that people who struggle with losing control would do (me, I'm that person). If the feelings become mutual, you cannot just make your own choices, things things through alone etc., because your decisions will affect the other person. But if you have one sided crush, the other person is not affected by your feelings, so it's safer to some extend.

Anyway, I'm excited.

It's a nice start. I actually enjoyed the first 2 episodes a lot.

I love some one sided soft love angst. Overall, soft angst is one of my favorite thing in any romance ever - give me it with mutual pinning, when both sides are unaware of the other person's feelings and I will die happy.

Like the scene in the academy when Yoo Jae and Chae Ypung are chatting, and the two poor guys getting jealous and sad about their crushes. I love content like that...

I already like Han Joon, Yoo Jae is going to piss me off but in a good way. Jin Hwan needs to be protected.

you know you can like and compliment a show without name calling others, right?

I am still amazed by episode 7. That was truly some of the worst plot progression and storytelling I have seen in my life 🤡

i did not like it either, but it was not offensive. like... i neither liked it nor was mad about it...

pretty sure they mean literally dark, as in not enough lights on set to see shit,. Not dark as in themes used in the story 😅

come on, his toddler tantrums are literally the most entertaining parts of the show 🤣🤣🤡

the wide show of him just stomping his feet and screaming like damn, that's a 3 years old behavior I loved it 🤣🤣🤣

First of all, that ex having a tantrum at the beginning of the episode was not even scary, bitch was legit acting like a toddler who lost a toy I could not stop laughing 🤣🤣

then the fucking 1년 후 out of a blue 🤡

FUCK ME I CANNOT ALL THE CHARACTER AND PLOT PROGRESSION HAPPENED BEHIND THE SCENE DURING THAT ONE YEAR THEY DID NOT SHOW I AM DYING 🤣🤣 Literally all the conflicts, most of the psychological issues, legit everything except for the leads getting together. Damn 😅

8.5/10 - great show, loved it.
That said, as much as I loved the characters and all the separate spirit stories, the overall arc an the background of it was underdeveloped.

They focused so much on the episodic stories, they forgot to create the more detailed picture of the whole context the show was happening in. The background of the powers, the background of the "black smoke lady", the development and journey of the separate characters - everything that needed a longer than 2-3 episodes format was not as well presented. So I ended up loving the show ass I watch the episode, but not feeling motivated to actually start the episodes when they drop.

The performances were great. I love Tseng Jing Hua ❤️

Also, this needs season 2. By the end of the episode 1, it legit felt like an opening chapter to a larger story.

plot twist, there is no cliff hanger
