The kiss scene made me shook! Is a spoiler for me since I haven't watched but I couldn't help it, I had to watch the video.

 

It was a really nice kissing scene, Do-Hwan is a good kisser!

 

I had just finished watching yesterday's eps and I was feeling mad about Taehee falling for him already, but after thinking it more, I think is good for Sihyun's character development, because I think he's starting to get feelings for her too, and I think the PDs will be handling this in the same way Annette and Sebastian were handled in Cruel Intentions, Annette push and pulled but the truth is she had feelings for Sebastian starting from early stages, and Sebastian started to truly fall for her when they started having mutual interactions in that sense, though he started to get curious due to her push and pulling, would have been nice if Taehee resisted a bit more, but I will have faith that this will be handled well.

 

The story developing fast leaves even bigger room for the upcoming angst, Taehee will suffer when she discovers his lies, and then she might go back to pushing him away again.

 

Edit: Lmao, in the BTS video you can see it from all angles, it was a real kiss and more intense than what was shown in the drama laugh.png '

"Please let me live with someone I love" was Taehee's birthday wish.

 

Is this the same Eun Taehee who doesn't believe in love and thinks getting swayed by it is pathetic? The writer is fucking Taehee over and on the meantime Knetz are blaming Joy for the drama underperforming, maybe if the drama didn't have a cracked sound and video editor and actually counted on good writers it would be doing well, you can count on MBC to fuck up a story with potential, unless the title is Angry Mom.

 

I'm telling you, if the drama didn't have Joy and Kim Minjae in it I think I would be dropping it, i've never been this somehow angry over a kdrama before, I think it could be related to how passionate I am about movies and the fact I loved Cruel Intentions (Despite the cringeyness) and Untold Scandal, it had an amazing start which seemed like they would mix these two well and it introduced me to the treasure that is Woo Do-Hwan, but the drama is starting to go downhill, which wouldn't be happening if there was at least a glance of consistency in the way Taehee is written.

 

Oh well, here's to hoping it gets better, I really want to see Taehee confronting Sihyun and pushing him away after discovering his lies.

 

We can at least have that, right MBC?

I feel like Taehee's wish is regarding to the feeling of her parents or someone close to her in general and not specific about shihyun or fall in love with him. I don't know how to re-words it. But her wish was more like a relationship with who she care and love, her parents or any other. Her character doesn't believe in love was more of a point of view that she sees from her parents, who are separated. However, she starting to experience it with someone like shihyun. 

 

Getting swayed from shihyun was like a feeling of loneliness/emptiness that she has missed between her and her parents. Therefore, I do think that even though her character was someone who doesn't believe in love but wishing to live with someone she love was not conflict. We gonna find more about why she is the way she is. The conflict of her character and her actual portrayed is different but I do believe that the writers going to tell us why or atleast explain it in the drama.

 

I honestly think that the author have a point and since everything just started so I am giving the author a chance to crawl deep into her character. However, I actually wish that the author make her character stand out more. She is just too ordinary up until now except she is smart. If we got to know a lot about sooji's character, her family, her relationship, her mental state, her scheme, her feelings, then we fking need those around taehee. Because damn, so far I got nothing from taehee except the fact that she is smart and her brief relationship between her and her mother.  I haven't watch other movies so I can't go on to the comparison.

 

In the future episodes, I actually want to see her with her own moments of thought about dating shihyun and everything evolving around her. So far she just confess her feelings and everything just started so I cannot really emphasis on what she think and her actually life and relationship.

 

ps: i am sorry for my english.. 

The fact that they revealed her wish while she was in the car thinking deeply of her first kiss with Sihyun is a clear indicator she was referring to a love interest though, of course not Sihyun in specific since they didn't know each other then.

 

Taehee is written in such a bland manner is so obvious she's only working as a catalyst and a tool for Sihyun's character development, which should be fine given this is exactly the case for her character in the original french novel and all the adaptations out of it, but despite Tourvel being merely used as a catalyst she's an interesting character in her own right, just like Annette and Lady Jung whom Taehee is based off, and Taehee as a character is weak thus far and I highly doubt the writers intend to immerse on her character any further than they have, her character will of course develope, is a must once she finds out Sihyun is lying to her, but outside the obvious I don't think we'll be able to see a real growth in characterization, of course I could be wrong, and boy I really hope i'm wrong.

5.[+711, -73] It's getting more and more fun~~
 
6.[+269, -15] I know the writer's story is not the best but when she entered the swimming pool I was really shocked ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ In that narrow swimming pool she couldn't see him and when she entered the pool her hair was already wet but close to the ending her hair was dry...editing team get your acts together ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ I'm tired of feeling it's a waste of actors' acting
 
7.[+246, -6] Tae Hee brought even her swimsuit and suddenly went into the swimming pool was a little...funny

 

8.[+233, -22] It's the most fun when Tae Hee and Si Hyun come out...when the parent and the vice president come out it's uncomfortable 

 

9.[+214, -13] Ah what is this ã…¡ã…¡  he saw her even while doing that ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ this is crazy ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ I was surprised when he came out ã…Ž

13.[+166, -7] I will continue watching it, but it's a shame the writer lacks. It's not following the original work properly but it's not doing well on it own either, It's extremely vague 

14.[+151, -6] What is this drama? I'm watching it because of Tae Hee but what's the genre? Si Hyun is sweet with her when they are alone but he bullies her when they are with the others and he suddenly appeared at the swimming pool and told her 'Don't leave'? what is this?

Ok so just watched episode 9 and 10, is an improvement from last week for sure but jeez, Sooji is really starting to disturb me, not annoy me because I don't find her annoying as a character, just that she's of such cynical nature it reaches an extent where is disturbing, makes me wonder, if this drama involve tragedies in any way, could her fate be related to her mental health? Her behaviour might be an indicative of her having prominently sociopathic tendencies.

 

Also, we got an iconic line from miss Eun Taehee:

 

"Did you know condoms can expire too? Be careful"

 

I'm glad she's back to being like this, hopefully it can keep up for at least 4 more episodes, i'm having fun seeing the push-and-pulling, from her side that is, Sihyun's push and pulling is annoying me, there is no need to be so rude to her just because your lil squad is with you boy, that's not how it works.

Finished watching ep 11-12, it looks like the drama is about to take a darker angstier turn and of course i'm here for it, is what I expected from the story and seeing this week's episodes makes me glad that the drama is starting to get back on the track it was setting at the beginning, I guess last week was just an attempt at romcom before starting the suffering, and I can see our characters suffering starting from next week.

 

The scene where Taehee argued with her dad and realized that she was acting just like him honestly broke my heart, i'm glad she dumped Sihyun first but at the same time it saddens me knowing the reason for that.

 

This was a good week, I hope it continues like this, I want to trust and watch but last week I was just so angry, however, this week restored my faith.

 

P.S: I love Sejoo to bits and I adore Kim Minjae for portraying him so well! I can't help but feel frustrated whenever Sooji treats him like dirt, no one cares about you and protects you as much as Sejoo, not even Sihyun girl, stop being so full of yourself and try to realize that in fact there ARE people around you who love you and care for you.

I think bcs actually sooji's character is the lead female (?) They originally offered Joy the role of sooji, claiming it was the lead. when she took taehee instead, that became the lead.

The first news that comes out is the news about Joy offered to be sooji's character. I like it bcs the character has strong character and very different with Joy's character in her 1st drama.

But the news that appear is Joy take the role of euntaehee, i mean "who is eun taehee? how abt the character?" i think she is the 2nd lead but actually i'm happy bcs Joy wouldnt get too much hate.

And i'm surprised that euntaehee is ths 1st lead, and i'm more surprised when drama aired.

tbh? I'm upset by the drama too...by making joy the lead after introducing gayoung the way they did, it’s obvious she was going to be compared & get hate.. also the failure to conceal that the lead role changed to wtv Joy took...it make the story messed up bcs they need development euntahae to be strong character claiming she is the 1st lead when actually sooji's the strongest character.

.

they should not have to change the main character which will affect the drama's work, poor writen and bad editing make me upset, bcs of that some peoples attack Joy.

Joy's fans still support her drama no matter what character she takes.

Nothing was changed, Sooji had to have bigger importance than Taehee no matter what because she's the foundation of the entire story, Taehee is the 1st female lead just because she is the one the male lead ends up falling in love with and it causes disorder, I talked about this before, Taehee is a catalyst and this is the case in all of the drama's source materials as well.

 

Even if Joy had taken the role of Sooji Taehee would still be there because the drama needs two female leads, if we don't have the person who offers the bet and the person who becomes a target of this bet then the drama can't exist.

 

The problem is that the writer is not good enough for a drama of this caliber, they had to hire someone who was experienced and skilled enough to properly develope a drama that should be far from the typical kdrama loveline route, one that is able to balance all the story elements instead of constantly going back and forth between romcom and angsty melodrama. It feels like the focus drastically changed from Sooji to Taehee just because the writer and editors are fucking up the pace of the drama and is a problem that is showing with all the plotlines not just the Sooji-Sihyun-Taehee arc.

 

In my last review post I said it had improved this week and I hope it continues to improve, if it switches again next week I feel like i'll lose it regardless of how much I enjoyed this week's episodes.

 

Also, SM was smart to talk it through with MBC to give Joy the role of Taehee and create a package deal including Gayoung instead of shoving Joy as Sooji, she's my bias and I love her but Joy isn't ready to play a part as complicated and cynical as Sooji, not to mention Moon Gayoung is nailing it.

Spill it out...

 

i like to read other people opinions about the drama

Is not an opinion, is more like questions, I don't understand where the plot is going currently, especially because of the bet, so is over, like that? Or will they bring it back once Sooji finds out Sihyun is seeing Taehee behind her back?

 

I'm also disappointed at them being back together already, but at the same time the OTP doesn't bother me.

 

 

 

Mess rlytearpls.png. That's the same thing that came to my mind when I saw the previews. No wonder she left earlier than the other members even though it was just a couple of hours apart 

 

 

Just now finished watching eps 13 &14. I'm going to put stuff under spoiler for the benefit of people who haven't watched these episodes yet.

 

 

Both were pretty good but one thing's bugging me. Why did Si-Hyun ask Tae Hee's friend to hide the fact that those two were dating from Soo-Ji and Se-Joo? Why does it matter? I'm not here for Se-Joo getting hurt at the end rlytearpls.png He's still my fav character.

Something's fishy about Soo-Ji's mom. It's going to turn ugly whenever people find out about the Si-Hyun's dad not being his real dad. Also all 3 parents are a mess in their own way and deserve each other unimpressed.png 

 

Is because they think he's over with Taehee for good and it means the bet is over too, it brings me back to one of my questions, will the bet be back once these two find out he's seeing Taehee behind their back?

Damn this was a solid week...

 

I watched all 4 eps last night and it was quite intense and heartbreaking, especially the ending of episode 20, poor Taehee, but it angers me to see her in such a vulnerable state in front of Sihyun, get away from her for her sake, this time it was necessary but get away from her she's already a traumatized kid she doesn't need a group of 3 toxic friends fucking around with her life like this.

 

The Sejoo that was described to us, the one who can't digest this game is finally appearing, and I wish this could mean him and Taehee getting closer, not because I ship them romantically like i've seen multiple people in other social media no not at all, but because I really think they should become friends, after so much toxicity they deserve to have someone in their life who is as sane as them, Taehee has Kyungjoo but Sejoo has no one, and I think these 3 would be a nice group of friends.

 

I can finally say this: I can't wait for next week, is it me or in the end, the writers will shape this up to become the tragedy this story originally is? This story is the type of story I can't see getting a happy ending, but well is a kdrama so I won't get my hopes too high, especially knowing I already went through many disappointments with this drama in particular.

I would also like to say that I love all the OSTs so far!

 

 

 

And the new OST that played on I believe it was episode 19, when Sihyun was following Taehee without her noticing sounded like just my type, I hope it releases next week.

I just finished ep 21-24!!

 

This cycle is so tiring, on/off couples annoy me so badly because I had to see my brother go through an on/off relationship that lasted 3 whole years and this is actually the first time I see one in a kdrama, not doubting there are many out there but this is my first, but at least that unstability was handled nicely this week, it felt smooth rather than sudden like in previous weeks, I really hope they stay apart for longer this time around though.

 

Everything is falling apart for Sihyun, and they keep throwing hints at us that the ending will be tragic, it makes me feel worried even though is the type of ending I want.

 

Sihyun is writing a journal to tell Taehee everything, this is really reminiscent of Cruel Intentions and overall it feels like the story is going towards that direction.

 

The last two weeks are here, and these past two weeks have not disappointed me, is a shame the drama got good at the very end, it had plenty of potential but it got wasted and now is too late to get it to bounce back, but for those who stuck around it'll be really nice to get a well-made ending, and I have a feeling we are getting a well-made ending be it tragic or be it happy, please don't disappoint me writer-nim, you already did that many times but don't do it for this.
