It's giving wattpad. Normally I don't like this, but I managed to make it to ep5 without dying from cringe. So I'll see how this goes. I think it helps that both ML and FL are good actors even with cliche script, and also ML is easy on the eyes š
Seeing SejunĆSoE hype is still hot on tiktok and Sejun's post is about to hit 1million, Netflix must be punching the air right now and regretting not capitalizing on this couple š
I just read a comment in Tiktok saying having SeJun was a cultural reset for this show. I certainly agree, him and HanBin were breath of fresh air.š Too bad season2 editors didn't realize this soon enough. They thought they should stick to same vibes as season1, the drama, the love triangles etc. True, this kept discussions going but I say the green flags were an even greater joy to watch. Damn, those butterflies and smiles SeJun brought to us were a lot more fun than discussing what would happen with SeulKi and JinYoung. I hope Netflix release the cut scenes soon.
I haven't caught up with the latest eps yet, but this show made me realize something about myself. At first I really liked Jinyoung, you know the cool guy, the thrill of this mixed red and green signals haha, and just knowing he's someone that many others are pining as well. He's just like those tv show MLs, slightly toxic but addicting haha
But when I saw SeJun, I felt like in reality he really is my cup of tea. I like everything he showed in the show. He seems like he stayed true to himself, obviously I feel like he's also there to promote Ascottage, but I do get the vibes that he isn't pretentious as the others. I like his calm energy, and he is also unexpectedly funny. I like his silent effort, the little things he does to help Soe without making a show for it. I like also how he's steadfast with his feeling and choices and is able to express them. Now, there's no way they are in love after a few days, but I appreciate him picking Soe and just going with how he really felt rather than aiming to join the Seulki-train for screentime. I don't know how much is scripted, but I did think he was one of the least who tried too hard for the show, he was asleep half the time lol
So, my conclusion is that while JinYoung feels exciting and fun, SeJun feels comfortable and like home. Personally, in real life, I would really go for someone like SeJun.
What doesn't make sense to me is that they were so extreme during highschool yet ironically when they got older and have more power they suddenly couldn't do anything to her. Of course I'm rooting for ML, but given the bullies morals and sadistic tendencies, killing her would have been an easy solution for them.
Glad they didn't explicity showed it, but it looks like she was also raped. This makes me wish LeJeHoon's 'Taxi Driver' company shows up and bring justice for her.
And the teacher slapping her in front of everyone. How is that even possible? So many bullying/torture K-shows these days. Kdramas better chill a bit otherwise this will wipe out the rainbows&flowers country image they built from their fluffy shows from before.
The revenge better be satisfying because 20mins in and my blood is boiling. What's up with these bullying in SoKor highschools, I hope this is not a normal thing there. I know bullying exist, but this level is heinous and sadistic. These kids needs to be psychiatrically checked if this is the amount of evil they're capable of.
I don't understand the mixed reviews. I think this is very well done and also the ending was satisfying. To those who says the acting is cringey, perhaps you are not used to Japanese style acting? In comparison to other Jdramas this is already a lot less cringe. And to those who keeps comparing it to season1, perhaps you only watched for the gore? Or hyperfocused on the manga version? In my opinion, season2 gave emotion and purpose to the show. I was rooting for them the whole time, unlike in season1 where I was just watching and waiting for the next one to die.

it's entertaining but highly illogical. You gotta switch off your brain from time to time.
After the shock value in ep1, it's becoming a bit ridiculous now. And the pacing is weird

I only saw some clips without subs
He's now basically the Levi of AiB.

I found this.. apparently they are called Dealers.
