oh, my comment was not about So Bin.
But to answer your question, she had a crush on Chan Ki for years.

Character in webtoon: *being gay*
KBS: let's give him two female love interests in the adaptation 🙃

Granted, he might still reject both of them, but I have little trust with kbs 🤣

Well, I do have a degree in psychology with specialization in clinical and neuropsychology 🤣

I have no idea, that's the only Light On series I have seen... Sorry, but I cannot help you with it...

The major difference is that the toxic relationships in kdramas lead to "healing and changing with the power of love" and the main couple ends up in a happy relationship in the end. From what I get from webtoon and how this show is produce, it goes into different direction.

Want to share something I wrote on feeds about this show:

I have to appreciate this show with truly showcasing how easily it is to fall for a "playboy" manipulative person like Jae Eon.

We all be like: I would never. I would run away asap if I met someone like Jae Eon. And you know what? High chances are, you would not. Not only that, in many occasions, it's the people who think they are immune to manipulation fall the victim of it. Coz they just do not allow themselves to think their judgement might be wrong, they don't question their own feelings and decisions.

If you are aware of the fact this can happen to anyone, that you also might be swayed and be weak to manipulation, chances are you will be more careful, you will question both the person but also your own reactions more.

I see all the comments saying how stupid and naive the female lead is and how they would never allow themselves to be in the situation like that. I would recommend getting down from that high horse, coz the more invincible you think you are, the harder it will hit you when you are met with reality 🤣

Anyway, I just started the ep, but this conversation from the show got me to think about it in the first place:

Oh Bit Na: You might not know it, but his every move is calculated.
Na Bi: Well... I sometimes felt like something was off, but it's not like that.
Oh Bit Na: That's how everyone falls for his tricks, or not. Actually, everyone knows. They say they won't get fooled, but they do when he shows an ounce of sincerity. Because they want to believe it.

So you lie to yourself and are blind to the red flags, coz there is no way you might become a victim. It might happen to others but not you. So the weird behaviors are either not that big of a deal, or can be explained in different ways. You don't want to admit you might have been weak for a playboy who want to use you, so you will do your best to explain his behavior to show he is not a playboy. Coz if he is not a playboy, then you did not make a mistake in judgement, you are not naive or stupid. And now you are in a trap. And the longer you stay in it, the harder it is to get out.

Like, Jae Eon knows what's up. He took her clubbing - crowded place, full of drunk strangers, where you can barely rely on your senses and there is no place of peace where you can just chill and have a moment to collect your thoughts. She will be drawn to him more, to rely on him, since he is the familiarity in the chaotic place. Damn. He took her to a place that will make her anxious, nervous, maybe irritated and then probably offer himself as a comfort, and she will not say no lol

Also, perfect example where you can see he is not just a playboy but truly toxic: when he saw her uncomfortable, standing in the middle of the dance floor covering her ears he literally smiled. No emotionally mature person would smile at the thought of their dating feeling uncomfortable in the date.

I'm here just to see an immature person whine about people not having the same sentiment about piece of fiction as they do 🙃

I would not complain is she was maybe in her early 20'. But she is in er 30'. She is not a child. Not to mention one of her co-workers is her friend, who would back her up (as it happened already) if she said no.
They present her as someone who needs money and do anything for money (she literally "sold" her ego and editors pride for job), but also, not really, as if they can't decide.
And sure, her paying for coffee or dinner being the result of external pressure: fine. There is literally NO excuse for her taking the blame about the armchair incident.

Nah, I was already done with his dumb and selfish decisions in season one. I would throw my laptop out of the window watching season 2.

I mean, I did enjoy season 1, just less than everyone else. I did give it 8/10 at the end of the day, for BL standards, it's close to gold.

Have not seen season 2 and not planning to. I didn't exactly like Teh there either, so this apparently would be a torture for me. BUT I've got curious about people's thoughts after reading some posts on feeds so I checked comment section. Just based on the reactions in here, the writing must have failed. If good portion of people watching the show (even big fans and people who loved season 1) do not want the main couple to stay together, the writers failed to present why they should care and root for them.

These are my useless thoughts on season two without watching it 🤣

Oh, well that's weird. It shows on laptop, mobile and app for me.
But even with that, the person who got the notification (Reta) was the person I replied to. It's safe to assume, unless you get notification, the reply was not directed to you.

it's not really ambiguous. It's literally a reply to Reta. The grey line connect my comment to hers.

I am really not vibing with female lead, hence a drop.
She says she needs money but has a problem saying no to any situation ever. She takes blame for things she did not do. Pushover at it's finest.
She thinks she did well not telling the wife the truth. Sure let the whole family by lied to by a trash. Definitely he will not cheat later or do other harmful shit.

That's what you are saying, not what Reta says in her comment. Her comment says, I quote: "most people watching k-drama watch them for their cuteness, innocence, and fairytale-like quality." which is not true on two basis:
1. It suggest cuteness, innocence, and fairytale-like quality are the defining qualities of kdramas, they are not
2. Majority of viewers look for these qualities in dramas: which is not true.

If she wanted to talk about relationships representation, she should say it in her comment. She did not.

Yeah... I am one of the people who avoid what you described as cuteness, innocence, and fairytale-like quality and these are the things I usually criticize is the show. "Disney ending" is literally my pet peeve, when "magically" we get a forced happy ending for the sake of happy ending, even if plot progression wise, it makes no sense.

IF you associate "kdramas" with cute rom-coms, then yes your statement is correct. But K-dramas are MORE than that. Since this will most likely not be a cute rom-com it's simply might not be for you. But your statement overgeneralized both kdramas and the audience that consumes then, since it erases all the crime, political, horror, melo, makjang (etc) genres of k-dramas. K-dramas do NOT equal rom-coms.

the contract said she will not feel any pain for the next 100 days. Him withholding his hand was violation of the contract. His deal was: you will not feel any pain. If he made it so she has to hold his hand, it's his responsibility to make sure she can do it midnight every day. His obligation is to be available.

I know he cannot take away her death. I'm saying it makes no sense he can cure some injuries but not other, which is not explained. what is the limit? Technically speaking he could just take away the pain from the cut finger without healing it. The rules are not consistent.

So he can save some people and not others. Nothing was explain. You said it. And that's my problem.

Your diety explanation does not exist in the show. I get people are filling the blanks where something is not shown, but I firmly believe it's not the audience job to come up with theories that full fix plot holes.

"But instead, your choice won't make the world collapse or bring death to the one you love" Doom pretty dead if you ask me.

Whenever I see it it's a poor writing. There are rules not presented to either characters no audience, they are expectations from the rule coz it makes the plot flow easier. It's a bad fantasy writing. Instead of creating a work and making the plot in said created worked of fiction, there is a plot and the fantasy is written around the plot, changed and not explained if it's inconvenient.

Also, I don't think the female diety is all that powerful and the mastermind behind it all. They present her (same as Doom) as someone who does not have that much control over events. She can push things here and there, but overall it's out of her hands. I think the whole story was suppose to be the arc of everyone not doing what fate asks them to do, and do what they want to do, hence she decides to live in this body longer, even tho she is suppose to die, Doom giving up his life for someone else (aka saving life even tho he was created to destroy). Literally first time she goes against what her fate is.

"I can change his fate and yours a bit. I can remove you from his fate, and vice versa. As if you had never met. Then you will die as fated, without knowing anything (...). You won't remember each other, and the contract will be void. But instead, your choice won't make the world collapse or bring death to the one you love".

She did not remove them from each others fate, they did not went to the "as if you never met" deal, she only hidden the memories. Dong Kyung made said choice and took the deal. In exchange the previous contract should be void and the person she loved should not die. Since the first contract was not void, and the person she loved the most died, even tho Dong Kyung did everything she was suppose to do on her side of the deal, diety did break the contract.

There is no way around that. There is no "if by chance you will remember each other again, this contract would be void" element here.

So she lied, So deities can lie. So what's the point in contracts and terms when they can be whatever the deities want them to be and they don't have to uphold their terms? Not to mention this goes against the idea they are there for humans.
