I love her sister and I'm glad there's romance with the adults too

Date: 2020-12-18 09:05 pm (UTC)Jugyeong is an angel and I will fight for her. To see how much she's harassed on a daily basis by everyone from her mom (shut UP already) to random assholes on the street..... She deserves to be protected and I'm glad Suho is doing that. They are definitely my favoured pairing on this show.
That said - the amount I am suffering because of Hwang Inyeop?????? I was having tunnel vision over him in episode three. This guy is older than I am, his agency needs to hook him up with something other than a high school drama for his next project!

hwang inyeop is gorgeous!!! i can't believe (but was relieved to see) that he's my age and doing these kind of roles??? give him a more mature drama please

Date: 2020-12-20 10:30 am (UTC)He's older than me, I can hardly believe it too! He's still very much a rookie though, he's only been active for about two years I think? So for now I'll forgive his agency for hooking him up with these roles. In the future he definitely needs more grown roles, I think he'd work something really violent and bloody too.

Date: 2020-12-18 10:09 pm (UTC)i do think the drama explores some societal issues and it's a good critique of the pressure women are under, so on that regard i like it so far. seeing her own family treating her like shit is too cruel tho, like is being bullied at school not enough that you also have to have her own family insulting her? nah fuck all of them, only the sister can stay.
i'm a lil tired of the rich asshole male lead trope but suho is very sweet to her and i'm glad he figured it out so early on and made it his mission to protect her. eunwoo is very pretty to look at and damn he has some thighs so it's nothing but winning when he's on screen.
not feeling seojun for now. like i get it, he's the bad boy iwth a heart of gold but i don't like how he only approached jukyung bc suho likes her. i'm probably not gonna like how this love triangle will end bc it will never be the poly relationship i want so i'm not looking forward to the mess.
i'm curious about soojin, she's effortlessly cool and a great friend to jukyung so far but i think it's obvious she likes suho, so they better not make her a bitch or i will rage.
damn this is a bible of a comment for someone not invested lmao peace bye.

I want Soojin and Seojun to end together.

Suho and Seojoon have clearly been fucking from the way they like to stare at each other and that's a fact in my mind

Date: 2020-12-19 10:57 am (UTC)i was going to add "eunwoo's terrible acting scarred me in extraordinary you so one more reason to skip" but after quick google search i realized that it wasn't him. too many idols in dramas lol. maybe i will give it a try!

Date: 2020-12-19 11:15 am (UTC)moon gayoung plays jugyeong so endearingly naive and precious and nice, i looooove her, which i didn't expect! she needs to be protected. i like how the show is showing the downsides of being considered unattractive and attractive and the lasting consequences the bullying at school and at home still has for jugyeong. jugyeongs mom needs to be nicer to her or i will fight
han seojoon is terribly handsome and i am obsessed with him (rather, the actor, wowow), but as a character i don't like that he's engaging with jugyeong just because he wants to mess with suho. he does have some himbo potential (i like that he's not that smart) but he should be nicer. if he ends up with jugyeong i'm going to be pretty disappointed in the writer, because it's cute how suho x jugyeong have similar interests (although him going after her in ep 4 gave me some joe in you vibes).
i'm hoping to learn more about soojin, looks like her family is pressuring her a lot (and i think she should end up with him because she would be able to keep him in check).
i am really looking forward to the love line between the teacher and jugyeongs sister, i like that they kind of turned around the trope and made her the cool, handsome one and him the soft, kind one
damn why am i so invested in these love lines!!
anyway, who do you think leo is? seojoon or suho?

This is not in the webtoon, but based on my knowledge from that I'd say Seojoon. Or maybe they'll twist it so that Suho = composer, Seyeon = lyricist, song was made by them for their vocal god friend Seojoon? That would be cute. Their friendship is definitely something I am personally invested in lmao

Date: 2020-12-22 07:41 pm (UTC)Jugyeong's mom is so verbally and emotionally abusive. Hateeeeeeee.
That scene transition of Suho taking his math exam to him being in the theater was not executed well. I know they wanted to save the scene of him leaving for impact, but I was just like ?????? wth when did he get there and how did he know they were going to see a movie? Same with Seo Jun. How did he know about her blind date?
I also like that Seo Jun is a dumb dumb lol.
no subject
Date: 2020-12-23 10:14 am (UTC)i think when suho and jugyeong were in the bus, he saw the movie ticket her blind date sent her, so it makes sort of sense that we knew where to go
hoping for a full himbo transformation of seojoon!!

Date: 2020-12-22 07:55 pm (UTC)The drama is OK so far, and I'll stick with it, but it seems a bit too slow so far. I need the pace to pick up a bit more because a lot of nothing happening in 70 minutes makes the episode feel much longer.
I loved the Kim Hye Yoon/Lee Jae Wook cameo though. LOL at Dan Oh ditching Baek Kyung the minute they're self-aware and going to look for Haru. I miss Ex-You!!
