Yay, finally a thread for cutie Nam Joo Hyuk. Looking forward to seeing him in more projects.

Wow, I love this cover. Seunghyub's voice really shines here . I love how he transitions from a smooth and appeasing tone, to a powerful and impactul bridge, and finally to full rock ballad mode. Even went to check the original song, which is really nice and kind of keeps the initial smooth ballad-like feel all throughout. It made me value even more how the boys did a really nice arrangement and interpretation.

wow, why are they so feisty about AOA?

So apparently it's Jung Hyung Don! source

I also wonder if the writers will go for an open ending à la "Marry Him If You Dare", because that was that show's emergency solution when they saw a lot of netizen pressure for the 2nd lead (*cough* Yonghwa's character *cough) even though they had thought of the first lead as endgame. The difference in vision between writers and audience really messed up that drama's ongoing script, and I can't help but feel it's also been messing up School 2015. The whole "we're only 18" may indeed work as the motto/justification for them to not have any endgame couples... Oh well, let's all buckle up for tomorrow's finale.

I usually never read spoilers but I had to check if the YiBi ship was still a likely endgame or not. The anxiety was really getting in the way with the pleasantness of my viewing experience!

Perfect thumbnail. That dimple =)

source They look good but I can't take the combo of the outfits with the high heeled shoes seriously, hah =P

This web drama is so out of the box! I love it lol.

Yeah, I have read the other arguments and elements given. I didn't address them in my comment but that doesn't mean I didn't take them into account. It also does not mean my main criterion in assessing their relationship is the 'order' in which she did the revelations, because that is totally not it. It just happened to be the point in the discussion I thought about commenting on. Still, for me Eun Byul is the epitome of "too little, too late" as far as Yi Ahn is concerned. I do really hope they stay as close friends since they've known each other for the longest time and shared a lot of moments together. I just don't feel she's right for him romantically or that she even is in the right mindset to have him as a romantic interest.

Yes, I admit to it being a generalisation and obviously there may be other people wanting Eun Byul x Yi Ann together but by looking at a wide range of comments in OH + DB + Viki what I saw was that the most common reference to Eun Byul x Yi Ahn in the past weeks came as an after-thought in comments that were first and foremost making allusions to Eun Bi x Tae Kwang. You might have seen differently, but that is the most common pattern I saw. So yeah, though it is a generalisation, it is not a totally baseless one. Well, Eun Byul only actively revealed herself to her mom and Eun Bi. All the other people mainly remained clueless because they never understood from the start that they had been in the presence of Eun Bi and the ones that did discover either overheard or had to piece it together by Eun Byul's behaviour/vague discourse. Also, only Tae Kwang, Yi Ahn and SoYoung knew about the swap, so talking about order of discovery doesn't say much: of the people knowing, only So Young did not discover before, for obvious reasons.

Yi Ahn x Eun Bi all the way, they clearly like each other. He's clearly falling for Eun Bi's warm, caring and bright personality and Eun Bi has always been fascinated by him for being so friendly and open, with her even admitting she would have really appreciated having someone to lean on like him in Tongyeon. At least I know for sure I do not want Yi Ahn x Eun Byul (it feels only Eun Bi x TK shippers want that coupling as a leftover or to get Yi Ahn out of the way tbh). Eun Byul clearly does not deserve him. You don't just disappear and fake death to your 10 year long best friend just to reappear like nothing happened. He also didn't seem to be very high in her list of priorities after she came back. Also interesting how her friends had to point out how he never did any wrong with her, whilst she pretty much toyed him around. I do have to say that I get why some people are divided as for Eun Bi's otp, Taekwang is a nice character and a good friend. I am upset at the writers though for doing the story a disservice. Not because of the pairings themselves but because of the character developments (or lack off). Why do they need to make the male leads use more man-handling than they should or suits them? Why are they making Taekwang hold on to Eun Bi and still try to express his feelings when she has clearly rejected him? Why did they kill any development in Yi Ahn's character and storyline by mostly giving him minute-long shots of introspection and confusion for the past 5 episodes? *le sigh*

He looks super good. Kinda reminds me of Lee Min Ho at first glance lol

Wow, ChoA looks stunning! Wondering how they'll tie in the 'Heart attack' and 'lacrosse' concepts. Hopefully not in a dramatic way.

Excited for this concept! I like how AOA has been having very well-defined concepts that stay in your mind and make them unique. e.g. their main Angel concept in 'Elvis', the movie character cosplay in 'Get Out', the working girls in 'Short hair', the burglar cats in 'Like a cat' and now the lacrosse athletes!

I had never thought of Chahun as my bias but there's just something adorable when he smiles this openly! I think it's because he usually has a poker face so it takes me off guard when he smiles this brightly. I thought it was very suiting how his fellow members and himself described him as a cat. He does indeed resemble one! Independent and reserved, but sometimes amazingly cute!

hah so cute, he doesn't even quite now where to hold her

ugh Seunghyub don't do this to me. Don't make me stan you more.

I agree that on one side I like the way they're conducting the drama because it's definitely fresh and not typical/formulaic k-drama script. It's usual to see flashbacks to past times in dramas (or time-travel dramas) but not so much dramas where whole storylines happen in different eras for consecutive episodes. I hope though we can see the connecting thread and that us viewers can understand the reason *why* we went back hundreds of years and at such a timing in the present time narrative. I think the end was kind of of a double-shocker because on on side it's hard to understand what happened to Jaemin and Mari after that drowning accident, e.g. that train scene was cryptic. Then immediately after that getting full Joseon preview without an explicit transition to it in the episode (even though I already knew we would have a Joseon storyline for these 4 eps) made it a complete mental breakdown lol. This one episode a week thing is torture, I need answers!

So proud of Lee Jonghyun. He did really well this episode. Yeo Jin Goo's acting is a force of nature. I still like the drama, but I think the script is confusing. Also there seemed to be a lot of intense scenes in episode 4 that just happened in such rapid succession that it all just seemed a bit disjointed. Wonder if they'll just plunge to Joseon era from minute 0 of the next episode and if they'll show no present scenes at all till episode 9... Still onboard the drama train, but it sure is a bumpy and unpredictable ride...

Wow, Chahun sang so well! And he's singing Park Hyo Shin

He was so adorable when making an effort to speak chinese. tbh I was worried when 'One Fine Day' first came out because it seemed like it had a lot of sudden changes in range (both quite low and quite high) that must be very demanding/tricky vocal wise. A lot of times he pulls it off but I can't help watching apprehensively when he performs this song. This performance was quite shaky but oh well, better days will come!

Probably because they didn't give him a line for the conversation today. I guess it's harder to appear to be into the conversation when you know you're not going to chip in. I'm impressed in general how comfortable they are in these interviews, they really have presence and charisma.

I second those =)
