Date: 2017-06-28 11:07 am (UTC)My heart felt so heavy for Sulhee for so long. I'm relieved that she and Jooman are over, but I'm just so sad for her. I just want her to be happy! Yes at her finally getting to toss water at desperate intern. I'm glad Ae Ra was there for her when she had to catch Jooman, their discussion about Sulhee's dream and the flashback made me cry. :( The part with Dongman's dad was really great too. Just tears everywhere, for the characters and for me.
So I guess nosy land lady Dongman's real mom? right?? or Ae Ra's?? It's not really clear to me at this point.. but I guess it makes her nosiness seem less strange now.

Date: 2017-06-28 12:52 pm (UTC)Finally we got to see a drama portraying real people and real situations.
Is this the best rom-com of 2017? I think so!
Jooman, Jooman, a good guy, but turned out to be a jerk. I mean that is "normal" that after six years of relationship one side becomes tired, but that's not the way you deal with the person you love, man...
Thou I think he'll get back with Sulhee (her words about Jooman being her whole world were beautiful btw), cause that's just drama not real life.
And I agreement with others, I'm happy that Sulhee was the one who initiated their break-up. She may love her man like crazy, but she still has her head on her shoulders and confronts him when he's being an asshole.
Talking about relationships, I love Aera and Dongman's one! Frankly speaking, I was affraid they would turn info super kobiet dovey in an awkward way (for us) couple, but surprise-surprise, they're still great together!
I like how harworking, confident and straightforward she is!
I like how she's always there for Dongman and still wants to protect him (i think he really likes it tho 😀
Aera is offically my favourite female character ever! She's so badass!
Guys, what are your preditions for this drama? For the next 4 episodes and the ending?
I think
About landlady, she's probably Aera's nim, cause she was hiding from her dad + she recognized Dongman's dad.
Sulhee will either end up with Jooman or meet some new.
If Jooman ends up with Sulhee he'll be lucky, in other scenario he'll be left alone (I mean - girlfriend) regretting what he's done.
And Aera and Dongman... They're going to be together, of course. But guys, do you remember a golf ring DM gave AR in EP 8 (a gift for her after he got his first payment)? Could that be their engagement/wedding ring? 😉 I know this assumption is quite rushed, but look at their pace - they started dating at the end of ep 10 then he confessed her his love at the end of ep12 😝
Warning! I may turn my post into gif spam 😜

Date: 2017-06-28 06:57 pm (UTC)I thought Yejin was moving in, but I should have known that it was Hyeran. Bitch, how much time do you have? Don't you have a job? Why are you doing this?
Jooman. Sir. Do not and I must emphasize, DO NOT tell Yejin to stop when you are the one who continues to encourage her. Why isn't her number blocked? Why is the phone on vibrate? Why do you keep picking her up and doing all sorts of things for her, thinking that Sulhee doesn't know? You played yourself because you refuse to admit that your heart was shaken by her.
When I saw that Yejin posted a photo on IG...I was like...NOPE. Time to get up and whoop her ass Sulhee. This sunshine, happy bitch needs to be gathered and I'll get her for you, Sis. Not a problem. Lol. Joking aside, I knew that once Sulhee saw that, I didn't need to worry about what was going to happen next.
"Do you wanna sleep over tonight?"
IS WATER WET? IS GRASS GREEN? IS IT A THOTTY SUMMER 17? BITCH YES. WHAT.
Episode 12 was emotional all around.
I'm so irritated at how Aera and Dongman rushed to get ready for a sleep over and then the Landlady came. Ma'am. It's none of your business. She must be Aera's mom. That irritation subsided once I saw Dongman drilling the screws into the bed and making sure it was stable. SIR. It was hilarious but it was so sexy, lmao. Like, damn, you think you're gonna break the bed? OH. And then they made it awkward again with them sitting there too nervous to do anything. But then Damn Dongman, back again with the romance. I felt optimism for love again and that was scary, lol.
Jooman. You fucked up. That's it. Even though I know he didn't do anything. That's not the point He messed up a while ago, but this just seals the deal. Can we have a moment of silence for Queen Choi Aera, please? She put on her fighting clothes and grabbed a plunger. This is the type of friend I need and want. No questions asked. There wasn't even a question.
I love the way Sulhee handled herself with Jooman, too. I don't like that she broke up with him, because I know how much she cared and loved him. So it must have been hard to let go and having to do so with that type of situation. I don't find happiness in that. However, I DO find happiness and great joy in her splashing water on Yejin. Good job Sul...that's my girl. Sulhee hit the nail right on the head. She knew Jooman was in a relationship, she said she wasn't going to stop, she posted the IG photo....she's lucky that all she got was water splashed on her face. Be humble.
I don't have anything to say about the scenes with Dongman and his father. Mostly because those scenes speak for themselves and I cried the whole way through them, lol. There's a lot of guilt lingering between them and I like that they made a step in the right direction.
I have to question the Landlady calling Dongman's papa, Oppa. It doesn't negate that she could be Aera's mom, but were those two also childhood friends? Did they have a relationship when they were younger, too?
