One Stars

well both couples found their way back to each other..... but if everything has gotten wrapped up in a neat little bow, by the end of ep 11 - what is the point of ep 12?!???? ********************************************************************************************1st off i know Van loves Farm, but i doubt that it's romantic in nature. he doesn't want to lose someone he considers family & even though Farm joined that friend group the last, he was the only one that babied Van. something he was lacking given the fact he is orphaned & all alone in this world. *****************************************************************************************Farm actively became family, he was a caring parental figure / older brother combo - not just a friend & the thought of losing his unconditional adoration (cause how long can one keep a one-sided-love alive?!? sooner or later Farm would despair & for his own sanity try & find someone to share his life). this fact worried Van, cause Farm had become his safe haven. so his telling Farm he would try & fix himself is all well & good, but that's giving Farm false hope & again Van is doing this out of desperation not to lose Farm (we saw how he broke down when Farm was cold & distant) this doesn't equate to romantic love & sadly if they do end up together, it will be Van forcing himself & later - down the line both will come resent the other, cause neither will be truly happy. ************************************************************************************************************************regarding the mains, am glad everything turned out well but i have to say both Jinn's mother & J did a whack job considering they knew how Jinn would react. the fact they basically put Jinn in the same situation, that was gonna take place in 2yrs was crazy - why would he react any different, he fact J took the car keys is great - but couldn't the mother talk to Jinn before brining the father in? when he had time to hear the whole story, digest it & be calmer?!? but everything worked out so whatever... still think that whole scene should've be handled better, given all the info J had

introduction of a new character and plot point

Episode three is still going on strong, which is nice because most dramas kind of dip a little after the first two episodes. This time we have an introduction of a new character, Choi Myung sun, or the White Haired Witch, who is set up to be a potentially strong opponent for Hye Jin and Jun Ho. I think Pyo Chang Sub was equal to Hye Jin opponent-wise, so it's fun to have someone else who a.) can hold their own and b.) is familiar with how hagwons work. She's basically someone who understands the hagwon playing field, as opposed to Pyo Chang Sub.We got more from Nam Chung Mi as well, as one of the new hires along with Jun Ho and the English teacher. I think her frustration at not having the same opportunity as Jun Ho is quite realistic. She's been established as someone who works tremendously hard despite not being from SKY. I also feel for her frustration. She's also someone who wants to make waves, but she was given advice not to while Jun Ho is sailing on onward, so I definitely understand if she tries to undercut Hye Jin by teaching Chanyoung High because as the show likes to hammer in: every instructor is out for themselves. This is a cutthroat industry where no one is your friend.Seeing the teachers feel hurt and annoyed by the promotional advertisement is one thing, but seeing Hye Jin actively try to smooth their ruffled feathers shows that she's intelligent enough to try and not alienate everyone around her, while also being proactive about taking advantage of opportunities. I think she and Jun Ho match each other's drive, and they do have a good rapport/chemistry with each other, as both colleagues and potentially something more.

Misunderstandings — sneaky injuries, proud wins, and snooping rivals

Episode 11 leans hard into misunderstandings, but in a way that still feels sweet. The ML and FL are getting closer and closer, and you can genuinely see the ML melting under her care. That said… let’s not forget how sneaky he is — he’s still letting her believe he’s injured when it’s pretty clear his hand is fine. Sir, be serious.At work, the ML tells the FL she’ll be credited as the designer on their plans, and she’s completely over the moon. It’s such a satisfying moment, especially after everything she’s fought through to be taken seriously in her career.After the argument with her father, the FL gets a call from her aunt trying to set her up on a blind date. It feels like the father arranged it, and my first reaction was irritation — but we don’t know the full story yet. What we do know is the FL loves her father and doesn’t want to stress him further because of her choices.Of course, the ML overhears the blind date situation and assumes the worst. He thinks she’s standing him up and heads into the office, when in reality she’s already turned down the blind date and is planning a surprise for him instead. It’s frustrating for a moment, but the payoff is genuinely sweet.The Rival Lead (RL) also shows up at the FL’s best friend’s coffee shop, snooping like a detective. He uncovers that the ML and FL are living together and even finds the address — and that “same lane” detail feels like it’s pointing to something bigger than simple curiosity.That “same lane” detail doesn’t feel like a throwaway — it’s giving shared history vibes, and I’m not convinced the RL is digging just for fun.

Mai basically told Van everything i have been…

Mai basically told Van everything i have been saying since he told Farm to be his bf. i get that his motivation wasn't to play Farm or use him, it was out of desperation to ensure Farm would always be in his life, ironically he chose the wrong way - cause he didn't love Farm not in a romantic way so he would suffered & would cause Farm to suffer this was no way to be together forever, as is he was starting to make Farm into a possessive obsessive bf that was so afraid that Van would stray he wouldn't leave his side. that aint no way to live. so glad everything burst now. yeah both r hurting & they will have to work hard to regain the friendship that they had - Van more then Farm. but if they truly care & want the other in their lives they will have to bite the bullet & do it. *********************************************************************************************************************also loved how the group cared to go after Farm & make sure they both knew that they weren't abandoning either guy. hat was sweet.
