even though Pop's mother is depicted as…

even though Pop's mother is depicted as a bad-guy, i didn't think that of her that way. i got her side, like i understood Pop's inability to brush the past off & accept all she had to offer, let alone her sudden presence in his life. but i can never get over, how even after decades she kept belittling her ex (Pop's father). **********************************************************************if u've moved on & now ur in a better place with a better man - enjoy what u've got. plus u got enough on ur plate trying to regain ur sons loves & trust, let alone try to get along amicably with ur stepson. *******************************************************why treat ur ex in any way then with civility?!?? ur insulting him wont win u points with ur son & it could turn ur ex vindictive enough to make sure ur son will never come around to accepting u. the fact that Pop's father (in-spite of her behavior) will never be a mean person, that would think of retaliating is what make her a bad-guy.*************************************************************************************************************************************************must say i am really enjoying this,

Menurutku episode kali ini punya nuansa yang…

Menurutku episode kali ini punya nuansa yang aneh, banyak sekali scene sedih tapi saya menanggapinya sangat ngakak. Ceritanya berjalan maju dan sangat berprogress, namun menurutku tidak begitu menyenangkan. Alasannya adalah series ini seperti series earthmix, padahal main character di episode kali ini ada tiga orang yaitu heng, mo, dan kongdech. Kongdech tidak punya peran romantis yang berarti, terutama di episode kali ini, seberapa keras scene memberikan romansa, menurut saya pribadi - tidak ada romansa yang tercipta terutama untuk heng sendiri. Ketidakseimbangan ini menurutku membuat kongdech harusnya tidak perlu dikatakan sebagai main character utama. Tetapi, walaupun begitu: episode kali ini menurutku lebih menarik dari episode sebelumnya yang mengandung banyak filler, episode kali ini benar-benar berfokus pada tokoh utama (walaupun filler Alone dan Khaotung tersedia di episode kali ini, namun menurut saya tidak berdampak apapun pada cerita - bahkan tanpa mereka pun cerita episode kali ini harusnya akan tetap sama). Episode kali ini punya resolusi seperti sinetron, alurnya terbaca terutama saat scene kongdech dan hen di jalan raya, setelah kejadian itu series ini terasa membosankan; namun karena episode selanjutnya episode terakhir, saya akan tetap menontonnya.

Heartbreaking and truthful

Watching the end of their relationship reminded me of "twenty-five twenty-one" and how, till this day, heedo and yijin's breakup never gave realistic to me cuz he woulda have fought for her maybe not at that moment but definitely before she got married. Yeong beom fought for geum myeong till the last scene knowing that they couldn't get back together despite all efforts. I cried so hard watching them cry. I seriously hate it when actors are so good and crying cuz now i look a mess.The storytelling of this episode, the build up to their breakup, the interactions between the families, seeing yeong beom's mom face the consequences of her selfish actions, and even park-casso subtly confess his feelings truly made this show become my favorite kdrama ever. Every character, every scene, each line delivered with such intention made for such a heart wrenching episode. Writer-nim I will be billing you my therapist fee after this.P.S the actors ATE DOWWWWWNNNNN!!!! IU knows how to deliver emotions so cleverly and naturally. I could see how badly Ae sun wanted her daughter to be happy even if that means putting her pride and doubt aside(Moon so ri they better cut you your check). Lee jun young played the conflicted, innocent, heartbroken love interest so well, him and iu both need to get all the awards, all the daesangs RIGHT NOW!

i donno why, but this comes off more realistic then the OG BL, Hero beats someone he gets in trouble, same when his gf walks into a school she isn't studying in & does the same. Hero gotta pay the price. there is logic & the teachers r more realistic. i kinda like this dynamic - even the family setting was warm & welcoming. **************************************************************heck all the parents/adults here r very realist, in Stay with Me it was almost like a fairy tail, how sweet & wholesome they were. here they r completely wholesome, but also very realistic. **********************************************************************************************************************************************Hero & Pop totally pop lol (kitsch i know) but they vibe & i like how u can feel the tension between them. think them keeping it lowkey adds to the feelings IMO. i personally find this funny & fun & i am happily enjoying how this is unfolding.even loved how the situation with Hero's gf was handled. no need to drag sh*t out or turn her into a really dislikeable, despicable character, just cause she's not end goals. personally i appreciate that.

the minimart that is almost always empty, now got two employees lol... & sorry but idk what people were going on about, when they wrote that the mains got no chemistry. it may not be hot & heavy but it is certainly there - it's more subtle & yet as sweet & charming as in any other romcom - not every emotion needs to be in-ur-face. **************************************************personally i really like the style of acting & the plot so far. all the actors r brining their A game & it shows. idk why everyone is this critical. but each to their own ＼（〇_ｏ）／*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** also loving Only & Tiger, they r sweet & love that Only is totally You Qi, but Tiger isn't a delicate flower like Yang Meng - who was sweet, but also felt too fragile & the power dynamic in any relationship he had, always turned him into a pushover that everyone took advantage off & pushed around. didn't like that, as was constantly worried for him. here Tiger can hold his own & i like this character better.

One Stars

this wasn't as bad as some commenters made it out to be, just cause this an adaptation, it's doesn't need to be identical. yeah it's hard to forget the OG drama, considering how intense the chemistry between Bai Luo Yin & Gu Hai was in the C-BL. but sometimes it's better that there r changes made to fit the country & the actors playing the roles. i think everything that was different here, made sense & i for one didn't think anything was lacking.********************************************************************************************************************************************was worried when i 1st saw that Poppy (Bai Luo Yin) would be played by a 16yr old. considering how intense the relationship between the mains is, was worried it would be cringe inducing. but i think turning this into something more PG wont necessarily take away from the main plot - it just will be different. like the adaptation Stay with Me from 2023. which was different, but just as good as the original. so i hope this is as fun to watch. this 1st ep was promising & i enjoyed myself. ********************************************************************************************************************************************side note; i really loved Bai Luo Yin's father in the OG & Wu Bi's family in the C-adaptation in 2023. here the father seems depressed & bland in comparison. that is a bummer cause what made this drama wasn't just the chemistry between the guys, but the fact that cause of Bai Luo Yin/ Wu Bi's family, Gu Hai/Su Yu didn't just find love but a family in meeting Bai Luo Yin/ Wu Bi. so hope this just a one off & the father character reverts back to the warm, welcoming, happy-go-lucky father figure both guys needed.

Su Jeong is so stubborn, Grandma can't do anything.

Bask Su Jeong did the right thing by staying right there, strong like a weed. She's enduring the humiliation for herself and Ban Ju Yeon, cause she's waiting for him to take back his position so she has to be there for future events. And While the Chairwoman is trying to kick her out but Su Jeong is standing right there refusing to move. She confronted the Chairwoman about her actions. And the ending of the episode left me confused, like he did go up at the stage and greeted the other party and the Chairwoman was outside, so this is what he meant when he told Su Jeong that he'll do something for her too. Well anyways this episode was a treat (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
