I wonder why they didn't bring back Yoon Park's character. There was that scene where Yoon sunbae texts him but they've already told us that Asgard boy becomes her love interest, so I guess they just sidelined his character. Maybe they didn't know how to progress with the storyline, just like Kang unnie? I'm not too fond of the idol guy as her love interest for now, but it was cute when Yoon sunbae copied his dancing.

Watched the clips from today's episode on youtube and I like how the story is picking up again with the girls' stories being uncovered and all the character development. 
 
Although it pains me to see how desperate Eunjae was, it was necessary for her to actually confront Jongyeol on whether the feelings were reciprocated instead of her constant fantasising. Though that last part when she offered to sleep with him just so he would like her was the worst, like girl don't do this to yourself. Not a fan of the epilogue today but it really highlighted the basis (and the flaws) of their relationship from S1; Jongyeol only liked her on a superficial level and Eunjae was genuine but too naive. It just wasn't meant to be. Now that Eunjae has gotten her closure, I hope she comes out a stronger character once it settles in.

 

From memory, Jiwon was the only one who didn't have a overarching storyline in S1, so I'm glad that she gets to be the main this time round. We explore deeper into her character and the reason for her lying and sex obsession rather than just putting her there for comedic purposes only. That's probably why the Sungmin/Jiwon loveline hasn't progressed as quickly as people have wanted.

 

I don't see the need as to why Yeeun had to give Hochang a makeover. It comes off as her trying to change him but I hope there's more to it in the actual full episode. Like maybe she's trying to instill confidence into him and help him become more sociable? I do want to point out that Seungyeon's acting has gotten better. I found it difficult to sympathise with her character in S1 because she (and the bf) had a deep storyline but they couldn't emote it well. This time round, I do find myself cheering for Yeeun whenever she steps up.

 

Jinmyung is the honestly the best. She takes good care of the girls as the eldest figure. I'm glad they stuck with her and the idol boy being a sibling-like relationship instead. I'm going to flip if they change things up later on. Also when will chef make his cameo?!?!!?

 

I am here for Eun outright admitting her feelings for Janghoon~

You should watch ep 11, all you want to know including chef is in it!

 

And i agree with you about yeeun and hochang. She did make over for him, only to hang out with him. I mean, he's comfortable that way. Not everyone can be same with us, right?

And how she react to yookyung's fainting in bathroom is just sooo cold. And she treat her other friend who havent any mistake to her too cold as well. I hope they find their closure, not just miraculously forgiving and accept each other, but also a promise to be better individual being.

 

I dont really get the tense of beginning of ep 11, i know what they talking about, but after yeeun steps in and electrifying that abuser, every tense that build up because of yoon sunbae's cut in neck, and eunjae had to tie everyone is like gone. It feels so awkward, all of yeeun's move. I guess, seungyoon is still one of the weakest actress among all.

Gosh, i hope i know jiwon's real memory soon. So curious on why moon hyo jin was so angry with her, until she wanted her to die like that. I mean, if it's childhood, it's either we forget things clearly or remember it deeply right. And that's the case to jiwon x moon hyo jin. I dont think jiwon's mistake was intentional, maybe just a child, you know alot of bluffing, joking, and mocking each other. But hyojin took it seriously. I dont know what jiwon did until make that infamous case about hyojin had an affair with their teacher and then made her family bankrupt and all those mess, i think it could be so trivial that we can think of.

 

Ugh, and eunjae. OMG, gurl, dont throw yourself like that just to make someone like you.

But good thing, now she knows what sunbae really feel about her. I have a slightest thought about maybe, just maybe sunbae still like her, with the way he reacted when eunjae wore that pink dress, and sent her a message.

 

Cant wait for ep 12 to be uploaded.

Haha I spoke too soon, should've checked the full episode. Chef appears in ep 13 preview as well~

 

Yeeun is coming off a bit self-centred with the complaining. She did go through shit but it seems like she didn't learn anything from it, which is pretty much what annoyed me about her character in S1 as well. Yookyung didn't do anything right but she's being the bigger person in all this. I think the friend in the middle is having it the worst.

 

I do think Seungyeon is the weakest actress of them all even in this season. She does come off awkward in more intense scenes, but is alright in light scenes. She doesn't embody the character the way Han Yeri and Park Eunbin do.

Well, I pressing F5 everytime I can on fastdrama to see if there are subs for 12th episode and still nothing, here are some JTBC uploads of the episode 11 (you can watch uploads and traslations of some scenes of episode 12 but it's up to you since could be spoiler here)

 

Let's talk about how good was Ji Woo (the actress who plays Eun Jae) on these 2 scenes, I miss Park Haesoo and I sad she couldn't do these scenes since she was the first season Eun Jae, the one who was trying to change and open to their roommates, with Ji woo is like watching another character but let's give her a try, it's not her fault that some fans miss old Eun Jae but this is about character development, we never saw Eun Jae being in love and I think she did an excellent job

 

Still repeating these 2 scenes (and they mentioned the Nazca Lines that are on my country yay)

Yes! I thought she did really well in those scenes. When her lips were quivering from trying not to cry, it just looked so natural and I could feel the sadness. I think Ji Woo did well with what she was given for the character.

Jiwon and Jinmyung somehow arrange for Asgard to perform at Yonsei's festival as their last performance (you all know how important it is for idols to perform during festivals of big universities), they're even the ending stage, but as soon as they start performing everyone starts leaving.

Chef's reaction when Heimdal thanks Jiwon is so cute.

The next day, Eun comes back after sending off Janghoon, the girls notice how she's not sad but later she starts crying.

During the trial, we see a girl looking all sad, she later goes to Jiwon and Sungmin, I'm not sure but I think she's also a victim of the art teacher

 

I hope you don't mind me asking what stream you're using or has it ended?

I liked the way it ended. Much like season 1, we get some sort of closure for the stories with some loose knots that are open to be explored further if they were to make another season.

 

 

I know people are disappointed about how Jiwon and Sungmin turned out and I would very much like to see them together as well, but Jiwon's main story was never her relationship with Sungmin. I enjoyed watching their dynamic throughout the season with their bickering and how Sungmin was always looking out for Jiwon. I didn't think they explicitly needed to hug, kiss or whatever for me to be satisfied. The best part about watching them was Jiwon's crazy antics anyway, and we got to see that. So I'm satisfied with how they ended that.

 

 

Say Park Hyesoo and Ji Woo are both available, who do you think will play Eunjae if they make a season 3?

My bet is on Ji Woo. Seems a bit out of character and rude to the actresses to switch back and forth.
