I’ll be waiting for this (Han Seokku - Bae Hyeonseong) and UDT (Yoon Kyesang - Lee Jungha). Both have a similar premise - solving neighbourhood problems/crimes - and I love older person - younger person bickering, friendship, and growth. Han Seokku and Yoon Kyesang (and Shin Hakyung) have so much friendship chemistry with younger actors, and let them have their shine.
Just curious — do you guys think Jung Hyun is heading toward a redemption arc or not? YES or NO I know it’s…
YES
There have been gaps in his character where he stands for a second to question what he’s doing. The latest being when Sehee was talking to him about when little Ahyun gets pregnant, and he seemed unrobotic and visibly uncomfortable. If for nothing else, I think he will go up against Sehee for little Ahyun’s sake.
BLs are so nice, light, and enjoyable but this baby was suffering in his BL (Heesu In Class 2) too with his absolute cluenessness, liking the wrong guy, doubting why the right guy would like him (Boy wdym? Look at yourself! Fineshyt cute space yapper.), creating problems in his head that weren’t even there. I’m glad Heesu had a happy story though, and I hope Juan finds Eungyeol somehow!
Did I see the preview right? Is him killing them after they confront them setting them up to be seen as serial…
Yes. They’ve been on the run anyway, they’ll just have to run harder. But if Junghyeon has a redemption arc and switches sides, he can confess, testify against Sehee, and free the kids.
Juan, my baby 😭 He has been through so much pain, my heart broke for him. Ahn Jiho, the actor you are!
Rest in Peace, actor Song Youngkyu. Phenomenal screen presence.
Sehee is just unnecessarily cruel and gets off on doing the most heinous things. It’s like she goes the extra mile to be cruel and horrible.
I hope little Ahyun knows what’s up and will be saved by the team, and can also help them get proof/materials about the disposable system from the facility.
I’m glad Lee Naeun is back in acting. Her shaman scenes were so good!
Junghyeon (DEX) out here doing the kids’ work for them, killing off every parent. It’s out of necessity and under Sehee’s command but still. It’s keeping our team’s hands clean while also eliminating those vile creatures.
The original title will get all promo posts banned on socials 😭
Not sure about the triggering part, but on socials like Instagram, writing the original title might violate their community standards because they (the social media algorithms) might pick it up as content related to and catering to pedophiles and ban the posts or accounts. It’s not great for promotion if posts about the show get banned left and right. They are using a mixed name/tag for the show using “i” from Korean (“ai” as in child) and the English word “shopping”.
I love how the photo for The Winning Try episode 4 ratings is just Moon Woong. Yes, that’s it, that’s the plot. His story added so much to the plot and brought the team and coach together in a beautiful, seamless way, plus added Seo Woojin to the squad wonderfully!
ahhh it's the same old FL hates her curls → thinks straight hair = love → tries to impress Kim Hyun → mysterious…
LMFAO
This is tropey but I like when there’s a voice of reason character (like a dad) who makes her realise true love lies in being good friends first (“Your mom, she was so beautiful, but we lasted so long because she was my best friend.”). It makes her ultimate choice seem a little less sudden.
do i smell a love triangle between seongjun, ung and woojin
I think it would be fun if done right! While I would feel bad for Woong, junior-senior romances where the puppy newbie admires the competent senior are so cute, and they grow a little bit through their admiration and experience too.
This show has taken YEARS off my lifespan oh my anxiety is through the ROOF.
Heroes have to either be smart or be able to fight. Ahyun isn’t very smart, and has herself and the kids jumping headfirst into the lion’s mouth. But she can fight and can be a quick thinker when cornered. Juan is the voice of reason, he’s more rational, but the rest are ready to launch themselves into action and fight at any given moment. It makes for some very exhilarating action scenes because they’re in fight-or-flight mode and are a little underprepared each time. They’re so young and outnumbered I panic each time instead of looking forward to some cool action scenes like I do when the heroes and villains are on equal footing.
That and the villain’s irredeemable evil nature truly keep my blood pressure high and have me at the edge of my seat. Hoo Lord I have watched some despicable characters but Sehee is something else. She really went and turned her psychopathy and absence of maternal warmth into a business catering to the 1%. Creating kids this way is already immoral (because the donors are unaware of the kids’ existence) and extremely questionable, but the refund and disposal system is just truly, TRULY unthinkably despicable.
This show evokes very strong emotional responses and I feel that is one of its biggest strengths. The science fiction aspect is cool too but please burn that system and the “algorithms” and that whole facility down, and Sehee while at it! I will be satisfied if they kill off Sehee the same way she disposed of those kids. No police, no noble idiocy, no leniency, no forgiveness, NO MERCY!!
Considering how evil se hui is , I'm surprised she hasn't gotten rid of junghyeon yet because of his mistakes.…
That offer sounded more like an insult, and I think “excusing” his mistakes is how she keeps him loyal (“You are useless but I accept you, you should be grateful.”). She’s very manipulative and I think she knows how to press the right buttons in her people, saying things that will sting more than screaming at them would.

The actor’s Insta is @thekimdan if anyone is looking for it!
