I couldnt stand Jisoo's character acting like he can just tell female lead to leave boss' house, then telling her she should call her mother for permission to stay the night out (!) and proceeding to do it by himself all while she's a grown ass woman?

Generally that police guy is hella irritaiting thick skull case and I guess playing him the robotic style is good idea, but the way Jisoo's doing it is cringey, boy doesn't have those chops to pull it and his ver of robotic looks like done bc he can't do it other way not bc it was planned. And that's prob true lol, like Jisoo's cute, but wooden, he can eventualy does those allegedly tough, but deeply hurt boys and there his range ends.

PHS character is not flawless, but still better. You can tell how much he's pissing himself when he gays things up a little and everybody around is scared and offended. I like that he's not the no homo type with fragile masculinity, but it's kdrama so it's not like they gonna follow that anyway.

I don't like the way jisoo is portraying his character here either. He's always frowning and so shoutey. It could be a writing issue, but I partly feel it's his portrayal as well. I think he has limited range and mostly little nuance in his acting. He either does really boyish/happy or really angsty/sad well. Those don't require much nuances. I kind of don't like the way GD treats BS either. Like why so controlling?

Yeah, it's like he's her overly agressive parent. Like go home, do this, don't do that, why don't you listening? It's really meh and damm, being kdrama heroine must be really tough job - just imagine pretending to be atracted to somebody like barking overseer...

Yeah overly-aggressive parent is a right word. I actually don't even know why she likes him lol. I also don't get how they are suddenly such close friends and he's so concerned about her well-being when he hardly notices/talks to her in high school during those flashbacks? lol

I couldn't imagine dragging my friend away from banging a hot guy, yet alone calling their mother on them if they didn't listen LOLL. What a cock block tbh

AHAH precisely!! I would have just taken up minhyuk's suggestion and joined them for the night lol

Yea like if I woulda dragged my friend outta there it'd be so that I could have Minhyuk to myself, jump his sexy bones.
