Ughhhh the more I watch the more I feel sorry for YiAn. He's made to look like the "bad guy" all because he's trying to protect someone he THINKS is the girl he has feelings for. It's so unfair to him being left in the dark

My thoughts exactly. Most of us spazz about Taekwang and Eunbi having a cute moment and oozing chemistry together, but watching this preview, I kind of feel bad for Yi Ahn being made to look like the antagonist when in fact he's just being the YiAhn he has always been and is worried/concerned for a friend that is, at the moment, non-existent.

Late reaction: I can't with those 2s smiles and lingering stares. I seriously can't stop myself from giggling. Ghad. Looks like Eunbi finally admitted the truth to Taekwang and they now have their dirty little secret. 

 

But Yi ahn tho. :omg:  Eun Byeol! Where are you? You can't die on Yi Ahn. You can't die on anyone until the mystery solved! You got that?

If episode 8 doesn't hint us of Eun Byeol coming back, I doubt she ever will. So I pray to the heavens that something gives us even a little bit of hope that Eun Byeol is alive in ep 8.

 


Viki has it at 91% subbed, I don't want to watch it yet though but I was naughty and read your posts  :rlytearpls:
 
Rather than thinking it's a love triangle, just see it as everyone has moved on from Eunbyul, even her bestfriends.  LBR, they all tolerated Eunbyul but they adore the fluffy and warm Eunbi.  Poor Eunbyul, I wanna know more about her and her past tbh (like why she got returned to orphanage, SooIn, etc)  :cry:
 
Try using hola  :smile:
 
Can't. I'm afraid of using VPN. :3

What baffles me is that I still don't understand why So Young acts like this? Why is she acting like a colossal bitch? What would she gain out of proving that Eunbi is still alive? To get rid of the rumor and guilt that she was a cause to another person's death? If she accomplishes it, what then? It still doesn't erase the fact that she was a bully and drove another person into suicide. Judging from her interaction with her father, she doesn't seem like the type to be pampered and spoiled to the heavens by her parents. So, WHY? I mean, there has to be a reason.

I think that the writers personally favored Yi An from the beginning. I really liked Yi An from the start because he's the ideal best friend and ideal guy every girl could hope for ( and he's personally more like my type.) Hadn't Tae Kwang come along and ruined my bias because of his antics and eccentric personality, I would have rooted for Yi An. But with the response Sungjae has been getting, it's likely that the scripting will be revised to favor Tae Kwang. Or, something could happen in the next episodes that would make us consider shifting on who to root for. If it does happen, then the end game will probably be Yi An and Eunbi.

 

Offtopic: I really like how the main characters are well-written. Eunbi is being persecuted by an insecure bitch for things she stood up for. She's not being whiny about how messed up her life turned out and she's firm with her decisions.

 

Tae Kwang, on the other hand, really surprised me with how much likeable he is. He's the typical delinquent son of a wealthy man who wants nothing to do with him. He's always the instigator of chaos and he's up to no good but will immensely change for the better because the girl of his dreams came along. It's the formula for typical teenage romantic kdrama. If he was anything like Kim Tan personality-wise, I would have hated him to ends of the Earth. I like that this isn't another drama with chaebol kids going around school wasting their parents' money just because they can. He's a delinquent alright. But because of his background and characterization, he doesn't come off as an egoistic and dumb a-hole. If anything, he's a very refined and funny a-hole at the same time and I love it.

 

Yi An is your flower boy next door. He's Eunbyeol's childhood friend and he shares ten years of memory with her. What I like about him is that he doesn't overreact to anything. He makes fun of Eunbyeol and Eunbyeol gets annoyed by him. Instead of getting angry in return, he tried to console her (which unfortunately wasn't successful). When Eunbi came back as Eunbyeol, he didn't force her into remembering anything (as is with him choosing to give the medal at the right moment). He just felt sad that of all things she could "forget" was their memory together. At the same time, he knows when to stop. Because he was Eunbyeol's friend, he has every right to get worried for her and was disappointed at how he's being kept in the dark. He became distant to make Eunbi realize that she can't keep all to herself all the time and that she wants her to trust him when it comes to issues that concern her. He doesn't want her to tell him everything right away, but he wants her to share her pain with him so that she doesn't suffer alone and at the same time, he won't feel useless being with her.

 

All in all, this drama, in my opinion, doesn't have any unlikeable character( except for So Young for obvious reasons, but that just means she makes a great villain).

I am extremely satisfied with this episode. It was slow, allowing not only the viewers but also the characters to adjust and ler the truth sink in. It was painful to watch Yi Ahn getting all flustered and frustrated, refusing to believe that the girl before his eyes is a completely different person. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't know what to feel. I'd probably be delusional as well. I mean, just a month ago, Eunbyeol was alive and well and now, she's practically confessing that she's a different person.

 

At this point, I don't care who Eunbi ends up with. I just hope that the writers don't mess up. I just want them to give us a satisfying and logical material. I am impressed at how they end every episode.

Yi Ahn's reaction isn't just about romance. In his perspective, he finds it hard to believe that there could really be a person who has a similar face with the person he cherishes the most next to his father. So of course, he wants to prove it false. In what way did he say that he'll love Eunbi regardless? He's surprised and in denial because that kind of thing is not normal. It's not like people nowadays go around switching identities and everything will remain as it is. It is only understandable that he reacted the way he did only hours after finding out the truth. Plus, he still doesn't even know what happened to the real Eun Byeol. Who knows what he'll do if he knew that the real Eun Byeol died. He'd probably throw a fit and go on guilt tripping Eunbi. Give him a day or two to process his thoughts and form a decision. If he does go the makjang route, then it's a pity.

 

The way I see it, Eunbi is not in love with Yi Ahn romantically. She only cares for him the most because he is her sister's friend. She doesn't want to damage the established friendship between Eunbyeol and Yi Ahn so she tries her best to be the Eunbyeol he knows. But since her act is slowly getting revealed, she's torn on what to do. She knew she can't fool him forever, but at the same time, she knew it will hurt him to find out the truth.

Why does no one care about what happened to Eunbyul after knowing Eunbi is Eunbi, like :imstupid:

 

:unsure:

I've been thinking about that, too. Tae Kwang knows the truth. But I find it weird that he's not asking why Eunbi pretended to be Eunbyeol and he's not the least curious about the real Eunbyeol's whereabouts. I know that they didn't really get along, but still.

I seriously hope they won't end up together

i can't find anything romantic about him stalking EunBi :>_>:

even that bus scene where he was siting behind her  ewwwww :wth:  i was cringing during that scene , like let her breathe man :omgwtf:

( i'm really sorry to his fans but that's how i feel)

I think most of us here are EunKwang shippers. So it's cool.  :lol:

I think Yi Ahn is hostile towards Taekwang because Taekwang didn't care about Eunbyeol in the past and now he's bothered because Tae Kwang now involves himself with Eunbyeol more than he should. And he feels insecure that Taekwang knows more about Eunbi when he's supposed to be that person. He likes Eunbi as Eunbyeol and seeing Taekwang getting close to Eunbi, even having her skip class with him ( which the real Eunbyeol would never have done in her entire life), makes him feel uncomfortable, worried and protective. Even Taekwang commented that he's becoming like the person Taekwang used to be.

imo Joo Hyuk isn't that bad of an actor. I mean he's definitely not the best yet he's not the worse I've seen; he could work a bit on his facial expressions. However, I think what doesn't work in his favor is that Kim So Hyun excels in acting and Sungjae follows suit. Joo Hyuk has most of his scenes with two actors that evoke more emotions from the viewers. And so far his character has just been a love sick puppy whereas the others have at least something that one can connect to/relate to. I've said it before (and its obviously not his fault) but his character needs more depth. I'm hoping the next episodes will allow for that.

Acting aside, I just wish he weren't so possessive over Eunbyul/bi and her feelings. I've been on board the Eunkwang ship since day 1 pretty much. In earlier episodes I liked Yi Ahn-he was cute and his interactions with Eunbi were playful. What I don't like is how he doesn't allow Taekwang to even speak one word with Eunbi. And I get he got all jealous (the bus scene) but dude no need to choke people. Sure its probably strange for him to see Taekwang seek out Eunbi but Eunbi obviously accepts Taekwang's gestures. She doesn't push him away. It's all jealous I suppose. His actions aren't my favorite sometimes.

I also feel really bad for Taekwang every time he tells people not to pay him any mind since he's a crazy idiot anyways. It shows what he's grown up with. His father has engrained that into his mind so much and I think subsequently a lot of other people do see him as that even when its not true. Its like when people tell you something repeatedly until the point that you believe it yourself. :( I really hope we get a bit more insight with Taekwang next week. He's an extremely lonely person. And although Eunbi did say she understood him I don't think anyone really has a complete grasp on the internal/external struggles that Taekwang carries.

The mystery. The student teacher is definitely an important piece to the Sooin story. Like you guys said, it'd be really random and useless just to throw her in at this point of the drama for no reason. The only thing that makes me doubt that is how obvious they made the text message scene. They're literally screaming "look its probably her." Idk if the writers are just throwing us off.

Agreed.

 

 

thank you for saving my life. An entire page has turned into a Yi Ahn hatefest and I'm not even a fan of him. I just want an objective discussion and thank you for delivering it. :)

Tbh I'm not trying to ship Eun Byul with Tae Kwang ever since I've been traumatized with Reply 1994 and Chilbong (hey, hey, let's give hope to the delulu 2nd lead role shippers and then troll them !  :imstupid: )

 

I won't even try to ship her with Yi Ahn. She might end with none of them actually,  :imstupid:

EVERYONE is traumatized by Reply 1994.

 

Come to think of it, I am also beginning to think that this might have an open end. No one is going to end up with anyone but it will have a subtle hint of who likes who and who will end up with who in the future.

Because having one hot guy is better than nothing...?   Do you actually think there are more of us out there?  It already seems like you saved a country in your past life as it is...   :troll:

She saved two countries in her past life that's why she got two hot guys at her feet. Eunbi the goddess. Lol

Let's see from real life example :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYVV4NqI3cg

From the articles I read the woman was ok. She was brought to hospital because of head injury. In this episode Yi-Ahn did hit his head on the car but didn't land his head on the street, but on his shoulder. Also looking from the scene it would be make more sense if the bruises were on his shoulder/body. I'd expect some scratches on his hand though.

Don't forget the effect of adrenaline, it can dull your pain very much until it goes away.

 

From neighbor forum (soompi) by poster adnana

 

 

Anyway let's not dig on this too much, it's just a drama lol.

Glad to know it wasn't THAT makjang after all as most people are making it seem to be.

 

Offtopic: This is probably the first time where all of my notifs come from School 2015 thread replies. Hahaha!

Just finished the entire subbed ver. I am extremely happy that no matter how So Young tries to manipulate everyone around her, no one is taking her side, even Yi Ahn. All the odds are against her. Wow at the ending scene. My guess is, hadn't Yi Ahn arrived, she would have shown the class the video where she was harassing Eunbi at the classroom. The would've been a total humiliation on Eunbi's part. And I really hope that Taekwang's father doesn't mess this up and for once, do something sensible for his son.

Hey, I like you. You don't just spew from your mouth; you provide proofs. It made me want to take a closer look.

 

Look at the way the woman was running; she was running at a good speed in about the same direction of the car, on an acute angle. That should lessen the transfer of momentum. Notice also that the car ahead of the one which hit the lady slowed down because there were children crossing; that forced the car that hit her to slow down as well. It was only starting to accelerate when it was over the crosswalk, right before it hit the woman. It couldn't have gained that much speed. Also, it would not have been trying to speed up too much because it's only a two-lane street, not as wide as the one where Taekwang was hit (6 lanes). That also was not a head-on collision, like Taekwang's in the School scene; she was hit by the side of the car and bounced off in the same direction. The first impact on the car is somewhere in the middle of the body, and she's not exactly skinny; plus she's wearing thick clothes. Her hands would have automatically tried to protect her head after the initial impact as well. It looks to me like she also did not hit the street first with her head; rather, with her lower body (might even be the butt). Then she got dragged by inertia on the street. Even then, she got head injury.

 

Taekwang's first impact, which is the most dangerous, is on his left shoulders (glass broke first near/around the shoulder) immediately followed by the side of the face on the metal part of the car above the windshield (at least a concussion possibility). I can't believe there was nary a scratch or redness on his face, even if adrenaline helped disguise the more dangerous injuries (next episodes will most likely deal with this). He rolled on top of the car, so that should help. Then he hit the street with his left feet and hand. That could cause a broken arm or leg, or I think they'll make it look like a dislocated shoulder, torn ligament or muscle next episode. Then he touched his right shoulder to indicate pain there. Uhm... wrong shoulder...

 

Taekwang is a swimmer, not a body builder. Swimmers are not made to bulk up too much; the leaner they are, the less drag. He was also wearing a thin windbreaker. Not a lot of cushion... I also remember on a previous episode that he was being planned to participate in the longer distance swims, those need more stamina (cardio workout is best for them) than big muscles (weight training for strength/power, not body-build). Think sprinters compared to marathoners. The reason body doubles don't always have major injuries is they are trained and the speeds of cars are slower than it seems onscreen, thus the need for slowmo. Taekwang is supposed to be only trained as a swimmer, not someone who knows how to get hit by a car. Plus, I can't get over the fact that he doesn't have scratches or redness on his face. By the time he reaches the school, those should be evident already.

 

I don't mean to say though that anyone who gets hit by a car will die or lose consciousness even, some are lucky and could get hit in the right spot; however, what's the probability of walking as if nothing happened if the kind of accident is similar to Taekwang's? That minuscule probability is what's making this lean towards makjang.

You mistook Taekwang for Yi Ahn. Yi Ahn is the Ironman swimming dude, not Taekwang. :)

 

I like all the objective discussions in here. Keep 'em coming! :D
