I'm going to actually wither away from frustration while waiting for episode 11 and 12 to be subbed. The ending of episode 11 and that preview look so intense.

More and more I want to punch yeji in the face everytime she shows up onscreen. And a punch for yookyung too.

Kang unnie's cameo was perfect and I like that it was her who gave Yeeun the kick she needed.

I'm calling it now, Janghoon built that stool-chair thing to stand on when he finally kisses Eun.

Best use of PPL ever with Sungmin getting distracted by Ji Won's legs and the car auto stopping. Just get married you two, dang it. If this season doesn't end with them together, I'm taking back every good thing I've said about this show! (Obviously that's too dramatic, but I need it) The subber that does the JTBC Drama YouTube vids is a big shipper and their subs for Ji Won/Sungmin scenes are hilarious.

Yikes @ Ye Eun's friend. I knew it was her doing those things but I couldn't figure out if she had feelings for abusive ex or didn't like the attention Ye Eun was getting, but the explanation given makes sense. I am bummed that she couldn't just have two good friends outside the house supporting her, but I'm glad other friend had her back. Poor Ye Eun always gets the saddest flashbacks, first last season with the first kiss with her bf, then this season meeting her friends. :( Poor Ho Chang getting beat up by Jang Hoon, it was cute how he lit up seeing her and her holding his hand was cuuuute.

Jang Hoon is the best, I love that he just goes along with everything the girls ask him to do. I'm glad that the girls (minus Eun) can just interact with him as friends. It was cute how happy he got to be talking about Eun and how much about her he knew. Yeji can be gone, I've been annoyed with her since day 1. It was adorable how happy Eun was to be staying in the house.

I was happy with the Yi Na cameo. So many shows pretend a character never existed when they leave the show, I'm glad they talk about her quite a bit and that she showed up in this ep. I liked their, as my friend put it, "Drunk History retelling, but with ice cream instead of alcohol" haha.

Eun Jae continues to be the worst character and storyline this season, I don't care about this dumb breakup being dragged out for 9 episodes. At this point I want that other girl to date Sunbae just so she has something else to mope about. And I'll bring out my comment that I have every week--why was this storyline so important that they couldn't just make a new character? Eun Jae is practically a completely different person personality-wise, just give the character a new name and a different ex-boyfriend and it would have worked better, but still been annoying and filler. I hate what they did to my favorite character last season.

I really wish Jin Myung's storyline was more about her and adapting to work. I'm okay with Heimdal as a character, but the last like 3 eps are just dragging out the same storyline. Seeing Asgard disbanded was rough and awful even though I know they're a fictional group and I feel for all of them and Heimdal, I just wish her story wasn't so focused on his.

I really could have like 10 seasons of these girls and be happy with it.

I'm only really interested in Jiwon/Sungmin this season, while I didn't get the hype over them in season 1. They just HAVE to end up together, but by this point it'll be so rushed that I'll gladly take their spinoff show instead.

Ye Eun and Ho Chang are really cute too.

Are we sure it's 14 eps? They wrapped up filming 2 days ago and the preview for ep 12 seems finale-ish?

finally caught up with the episodes fast enough to join the discussion. this season has been more interesting than the previous in terms of the plots and characters, and I'm really intrigued to see how Joan is related to the girls. My first reaction to the backview of the man was to link it back to serial killer in episode 1, but the previews seem to tell me otherwise.

also, I would really like an end to the wishy washiness of EunJae's storyline. I skip almost all of her storylines every episode because it has just been so uninspiring.

i knew there had to be more than 12 eps, none of the relationships are clear atm
is chef going to appear at all this season? :(
sexy song jiwon had me like

eun is just the most precious cutie pie she's my fave ilh, hope choi ahra continues acting

I know a lot of people were excited about the prospect of Eun/Yeji so I feel kinda guilty for loving Janghoon/Eun so much because ~heterosexual~ but at the same time, I feel like we also don't get very varying heterosexual experiences like Eun wanting to throw up in the beginning from anxiety? I can legit feel sick seeing guys I like to the point of avoiding them? So every time Janghoon appears, I feel Eun's every panicked heartbeat lol.

The tea(?) shop scene where Janghoon realizes that Yeji's right, Eun would have to wait for him for two years and would that be fair? (I could already envision some sort of finale epilogue where we see Eun waiting (wherever SK's discharged get dropped off) for Janghoon with ~long, beautiful~ hair and Janghoon being like /where is she?/ *disappointed face* then running to each other. (The first time they've seen each other since their ICONIC chair kiss ^^credit to torontok.)

I just see so much of my past nerves in them. I had a lot of crushes on short guys but none of them ever succeeded and I've been burned enough that now I'm like "you ugly anyway" lmao and am living through this.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't care about Jiwon and Sungmin. I'm also not happy that Eunjae's entire storyline this whole season is moping about her ex, I hope the writers actually DO SOMETHING with her in these next 4 episodes.

And LMAO the look Jinmyung gave the camera when the girls were about to change in the massage room, what a queen.

I'm sooo sick of Eunjae! I agree with keyfelt, they should have made a new character instead + I'm sure Hyesoo could have committed to at least a cameo like Snek did. Jinmyung's storyline is dragging too, I'm glad they were able to get Heimdal to sign his termination contract. My sympathy for him stopped when he didn't know what he wanted to gain from his protest, wow. I think he'll probably try to commit suicide tho, I hope not tho. It'd be shocking if his storyline wrapped up with him working at the convenience store Jinmyung used to work at.
You know, for the briefest moment I wondered if Sungmin wrote that letter for Jiwon. We always get lingering shots of him clenching his fist whenever she does something he doesn't like. I could see him both loving and resenting Jiwon.
I liked dramabeans theory that the letter was always intended for Jiwon because she's the only character who didn't do any self reflection about it, or think the letter was for her. She was a bit like that last season too.
Wow at Ye-Eun storyline. It ended the exact way I thought it would. But I was shocked by how calm Yoo kyung was about being caught and Kyung ah knowing but being in denial 😞. Moving forward I hope Ye-Eun can preserve her friendship with Kyung ah and build a strong one Ho-Chang. I wonder if they'll ever say that Ho-Chang is on the spectrum. Probably not.
I love Eun so much, and I want her to end up with Jang-hoon! I hate Yeji, she is so annoying, her voice is annoying, her face is annoying. I'm categorizing her actress as someone I never want to watch in a drama again (along with Kwak Si-yang, Lee won-keun, and the girl who played Hwang Jung-eum's annoying friend in Lucky Romance). I hope we can wrap up the issues pertaining to Eun's family before the show ends. Did y'all see the pictures of Eun wearing a dress in the coming episodes? So cute!

I joint the hate club for Eunjae, when I see her I wonder how the other actress would do it.
what is the deal with Kyung ah ? she wants to probably get over it.

ji won and sungmin I dont know if I want them together romantically but yes to them be BFF

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

another horror plot line? so not into it.

[shuumi-miss.livejournal.com]

What happened with Jiwon's childhood storyline? I hope they don't leave that in the air without a resolution like they did with the ballerina shoe. I was totally engrossed in Jiwon's storyline (which had the potential to be really interesting), and then they just stopped that for Eun Jae's ridiculness about her ex and Ye Eun's crisis.
