Date: 2016-12-29 04:51 am (UTC)Everything I wanted in that scene. They should just live happily ever after tbh.
Then, the hair clip-scene. I was not happy with how JH handled that. We know he's impulsive and gets obsessed with things easily and I understand that the hair clip isn't really something he wants to see, but it'd be easier to just buy her a new one without pulling it out of her hair.
At least BJ shut him down.
Si Ho actually getting to complete her arch was good. I really liked how she and JH were able to bond again,
and most importantly, how OPENLY they talked about getting help from a psychiatrist, and JH actually recommending his doctor.
They're both admitting they're getting help, which is so impressive. I really like how the drama handles mental problems.
Then, of course, the jealousy arch. I love how they handled that. Since it's BJ's first relationship, I think it's only natural that she's upset and feels hurt about JH being so nice to Si Ho. But, since JH is obviously BF-goals, he is still nice to her after he finds out that she's angry, and treats her as nice as he can.
The scene when he puts on the heaters on her feet😍💯
You can see how much she's struggling with being angry with him as well as being so happily in love at the same time.
I must say though, the over-use of "Chubs" as a nickname is getting on my nerves. It's obvious BJ doesn't mind, and she shut down "Piggy" fast enough, but I still think he should call her by her own name :/
And then the confrontation! BJ being upset and JH being so happy that she's jealous since it obviously means she likes him as much as he likes her!
And then he just hugs her until she feels better. Why is he so perfect?
Their mock-argument about the hair clip-again and the following hug-session again was perfect.
My heart cannot handle all this cute!! The scene with them meeting Si Ho the next day with JH drawing a heart on her coat..
We obviously did not get all the scenes from the last preview though. There was no confrontation between the three musketeers about BJ♥️JH that was in the preview. Nor was there a couch-hug, which they even had as a preview-scene IN the episode. I guess no episode 14 made them change the editing?
DID ANYONE SEE EPISODE 14 PREVIEW THOUGH? I didn't want to, but I saw gifs on tumblr and... I CANNOT. WHY IS EPISODE 14 NOT AIRING UNTIL NEXT WEEK??
Sorry, not sorry for the essay.

Date: 2016-12-29 05:04 am (UTC)anyways unlike other commenters, i personally didn't have any issues with the hairclip scene. besides him yanking it out of her hair which really hurt, to me it was just playfulness which he went abit overboard with. same with the calling her chubs thing. he obviously calls her that out of affection and not cause he wants to spite her or thinks she's really fat and unatttractive. besides she has never really honestly minded the nickname. i dont think every single action in a relationship that isn't an obvious "positive" at first glance is some sort of intended aggression/malice towards the other party.
i liked that shiho managed to "close off" her part of the story and wanted to start afresh and i liked how she apologised to JH and wanted to be friends.
i will probably say this a million times but JH is seriously the best boyfriend ever. i dont even think i've seen any couple ard me that has a guy behaving this way to his partner. also, i totally can unds BJ's jealousy over JH and Shiho and how she felt hurt but didnt want to come off childish. i was exactly like her at her age lol so those scenes really brought back memories
im glad they dedicated an entire episode to the couple having fun and enjoying their honeymoon phase. but aren't there some more story arcs to close off? I'm personally really interested in JH's arc with his aunt/uncle and him finding his mum + his start trauma. I really wanna see BJ be there for him in difficult times.

Oh well I was waiting to watch the show tomorrow but I might end up watching tonight since there is only one episode airing this week (I like watching episodes back to back in the same day if I can).

no ep 14 ㅠㅠ
no subject
Date: 2016-12-29 05:42 am (UTC)I think the drama is going to end with him going to Canada to find his mom and then coming back in Episode 16
Also I really don't want Coach Choi to end up with the professor
no subject
Date: 2016-12-29 08:44 am (UTC)I understand that the crush she never got over was him, but she should be given a clear ending soon so she can pursue better things.
no subject
Date: 2016-12-29 12:59 pm (UTC)Yeah I didn't like the look on the professor's face when uncle announced they were dating bc it looked like it was supposed to be jealousy and not only shock
no subject
Date: 2016-12-29 06:35 am (UTC)What why isn't there another episode today ugh
Anyway idk today's episode had many (many!) cute moments and I get that it's BJ's first relationship but it made me realize that actually BJ isn't really that great at communicating, it's all been JH. I got a little annoyed at her being like "I won't tell you, you figure it out on your own." I don't understand why she won't tell her friends either, esp considering the fact that they had that crying makeup session on the roof and I thought they were gonna tell each other everything from then on. She is really cute when she whines tho lol
I'm very glad Seon Ok is back! Now we need more time with her and Tae Kwon. Her gushing over Coach and uncles relationship with Nan Hee was cute too.
Is swimming off season during the winter or something, bc why doesn't JH have any more competitions lol. I was in swimming in high school and I'm pretty sure there was a winter season.
Also I was annoyed that JY was like "let's date" to Dr. Go but I'm glad she shut him down right away. They should not be a couple. Also what the heck at JH telling his hyung that men and women can't just be friends right after he agrees to be friends with Shi Ho again.
Very happy that Shi Ho got closure and that she's willing to go to a therapist. It's nice that they're talking about it so casually. I just wish she could have said something about how her mom handled what happened bc that was her biggest source of pressure/stress. Like an offhanded comment would be fine too
Looks like ep 14 will also not be about Jh's trauma. Drama, don't drop the ball on this one. Don't make him go to Canada plz
no subject
Date: 2016-12-29 08:53 am (UTC)I really wish JH would talk to his parents soon, preferably before the last episode, so we get character development for both him and BJ instead of just a closure for the sake of closure.
Also, of course BJ is the main character so most scenes should be focused on her, but how is it that JH doesn't have ANY competitions since he had a cold in.. episode 6? Like even the brother is wondering why he has time to come over.
Of course it'd be hard work to shoot too many scenes in a pool, especially since they're using body doubles for the competitions.. but I mean.. how much time hasn't passed by since ep 6?
no subject
Date: 2016-12-29 01:03 pm (UTC)Yeah especially with this episode I felt like their relationship is so heavily one sided. I know I said before that the boys are the emotional support in the relationships which I like but it shouldn't be that JH is the ONLY one who gives in the relationship

Date: 2016-12-29 07:12 am (UTC)joonhyung is p much boyfriend goals (aside from the hairclip part, which, hey, bok joo put him in place ty) and siho got to complete her arc! i like how they are open about mental health in this too - all things are developing so well
i'm just a bit....side-eye-y over the yoon/choi thing, i really don't want coach choi to end up with professor yoon (doesn't he have a wife??)

Date: 2016-12-29 09:36 am (UTC)I could watch ep 12 until yesterday and I'm not caught up on 13 yet but Iove them so much
I'm not a fan of him going through her stuff or finding the list
but I'm glad that cheking that list is not what made her fall for him, it's the fact that he was there for her when her dad was sick. It's that he always supported her and that's the best
Now I need to watch 13

Date: 2016-12-30 08:48 am (UTC)That Laneige promo! I love their essence, but Idk if it's actually doing anything to improve my skin. We need another beauty post. I wanna if anyone can recommend any good essences.
Siho had so much going on mentally and physically, I'm surprised that it was the pills that took her down. I'm glad that Siho and JH were able to work out their differences, though. It's cute that BJ is jealous, I can understand why, but he's not into Siho anymore. He's made that clear from the beginning and it's not going to change all of a sudden. She has nothing to worry about.
I want Seon Ok back, she makes the trio complete. I do love the teamwork of the Weightlifters, too, they'd make both coaches proud of their efforts as a team. But seeing how dramatic Coach Yoon is, I see where they all get it from. Goodness. DaeHo omg ....lol. He just went all out. That was Seungeun's moment to be honest with him and herself regarding her feelings for Coach Yoon.
My heart got so full seeing JH make sure BJ was warm and them playing with each other while walking. Where is my bf that'll kick ME in the butt, tbh?! This show STAYS making me want a bae. Then I snap out of it and remember that Onew isn't ready for me yet, lmao (idc idc).
I can't believe it had to end like that. What even? Lol.
no subject
Date: 2016-12-30 12:21 pm (UTC)i seriously can't stop squealing when JH came and gave BJ his coat + scarf. he worries about her a lot T.T and then he lets BJ doing her thing cause it's important to her but lets her know not to strain herself too much T_____________________T
and then the part about her being jealous i so can relate to that! so good to see that they resolve that quickly by having a talk like an adult instead of dragging it too long. she understands she's being childish but she can't help it and he agrees to her terms. lmao at BJ saying that the hairpin is from the doctor to tease him and then he said the he's gonna go see SH aww these two i can't <33333333333
i'm completely smitten with BJ + JH! i haven't loved any k-drama as much as i love WF!!! the last time i watched and loved k-drama was around 9 years ago when coffee prince came out. i'm so glad i decided to watch this drama during my christmas break cause i love it so much! everything about it is perfect!!! idt i've never cried so much for a tv series. i got so emotional so many times, all the story about the family and friendship in this is A+++++
