Imo Chungjae is a little different in the sense that, he must have realized his feelings for Sena a long time ago, but he always knew she only sees him as family so he never did anything.

He only hinted he worried for her because her feelings for Raik made her hurt, unlike when she was his fan where he had always made her smile (except that time his dating rumor broke out). And he always showed how jealous he was when she fangirled, saying that he's also handsome and her idol is just human too but Sena quickly retorted he was just mud compared to Raik. He probably had attempted to pursue Sena at one point but with how obsessed she was with Raik, probably felt like he had no opening. And Sena wasn't surprised when he confessed, she probably realized his feelings becoz she only said lets not cross the line.

Meanwhile, SML in Dynamite Kiss had never shown any jealousy when he told FL to find a boyfriend when she goes to Jeju Island. When she came back from being chased by creditors he wasn't nearly as worried as he should be if he had special feelings. There was no hint until he saw from the window she was with the ML. His feelings kinda came out of nowhere and was unnecessary. That's why FL was genuinely shocked he confessed. He had never made his romantic feelings known, because he only realized it after she was with a new guy.

He wants to indict Raik for attempted murder of Jaehee too, right? But he still doesn't know Raik's alibi stalking Sena right? He's gonna get destroyed so fast...

Right? I want to see Sena humiliate him in court if he's THAT persistent

then again, it only proves that Hyejoo entered his house. the actual murderer could have been someone who was with her. coz how a small woman stab a tall man precisely? unless she was always crazy and is really good with the knife

i rewatched the scene with Chungjae again, and while its true he was looking for cameras, it also kinda looks like "what, there was a camera there? better destroy it" lmaooo

exactly, if it gets too much, escapism isn't such a bad thing. sena was close to having a panic attack until raik showed up. what she needed was a break.

that's what makes him a pretty selfless guy (and hilarious). he def is childish tho, being abandoned by his mom and exploited by his CEO at such a young age, don't think he learned much about how to adult. Sooyoung who plays the FL says she first booked her first flight and hotel at 28 and her therapist told her "it's as if you're stuck in time and you're still a high schooler" so imo I bet a lot of idols are pretty childish. he also never went to an aquarium before. In ML's case more emotionally tho, no one taught him how to control his emotions in a healthy way hence his anger issues. he only knows how to repress them.

in the first few eps he was distraught and suicidal but not so much about the fact that the whole world thinks he's a murderer but because he himself started to believe he killed his best friend.

but then his lawyer spent 5 episodes believing in him and gaining his trust and in ep 5 he finally believed in himself that he wasn't a murderer, and then he became so much lighter.

then jaehee became a suspect, he got his house back because the public believes he's not the culprit anymore, but he's not even happy about being off the hook becoz jaehee's in a coma.

then the indictment happened, after he had told the FL that he doesn't care about what anyone says. he's consistent i'll give him that.

plus they just got circumstantial evidence of someone else entering his house. FL told him the prosecution is building up a case solely becoz jaehee wasn't suicidal, there's proof someone tried to murder him and they're pinning it on ML, when he clearly has an alibi stalking sena. he just didn't tell the prosecution.

as a viewer, I also don't think the situation of proving his innocence is difficult. trying to catch the real culprit is the real problem.

Idk if it's just kdramas or Korean society. Being a criminal's relative is bad, not having parents/being an orphan? Also terrible enough to get bullied.

Right?? I can't tell if the writer is dumb or if it's on purpose to show that prosecutor is just irrational. Should have left it to another prosecutor. How is this germ prosecutor STILL trying to indict Do Ra-ik with weak-ass evidence? Which makes it understandable why Sena is like WHAT?? oh you wanna go again is it?? He's gonna regret STILL pushing this further.

I think you just don't empathize with the characters and watching everything with a rational mind.

Sure running away in amidst that chaos was questionable. Even FL told the ML off for dragging her away. But he could see her mental state was not great. Usually she can stand straight and face reporters just fine. Until the mention of her father being a murderer and brought back her PTSD. Did you not see her almost getting a panic attack? She wasn't in a good condition to face that kind of pressure. So one day of running away to a place with nature surrounding you and gathering your thoughts doesn't sound like that bad of an idea. They did not run away on a mission to kiss obviously, it just happened (for them, for the writers it was a good time to give their kiss scene coz it's already episode 10).

I think they've left their idol-fan relationship a long time ago, the way they talk to each other clearly does not feel like the way idols and fans talk to each other. do you see her asking him when his next album will be out? no right? do you see him asking if she wants his signature? they've never even had a proper idol-fan relationship because as soon as they met, the FL hid her fangirl identity. the only time they met as surface level idol/fan was in episode 1 when he covered her mouth not to scream.

"....on a series where she wants to expose how fake those idols and fans are...bad" did you misunderstand the premise of the show? addressing toxic fan behavior only happened in episode 1, 2 and 5. the main premise is a lawyer/fan proving her idol's innocence and healing each other in the process.

maybe cliffhanger for ep 11 is the culprit caught. Raik already has an idea of who the culprit could be so I hope we dont have to wait till the end of ep 11 to find out

looked like there could have been layers to his character but alas, he just surrendered to his father and the dark side

yeah totally miss enemies to lovers. but these days you gotta be really careful with hardcore enemies to lovers like Secret Love, looking back the ML was REALLY problematic.

i sort of get why do raik didn't charge them but sort of don't either. how would it escalate? put them in jail and then they can't do anything right?

which episode are you on? romance shows up half way, law part was mostly in the first 2 eps getting him out of jail imo but it's always been a minor genre. the main genre is mystery + romance.

right? the list of suspects still seem long, not much has been narrowed down lol

Raik was too damn dangerous in tonight's episode I'm usually immune to handsome characters but even I was affected with Raik ughhh

right lmao i'm annoyed and impressed at the same time

you could be onto something! but i think the prosecutor would have interrogated the sasaengs already once he knew 2 girls had broke into his house
