I think that's why people tend to mistake him as being rude. Since, its difficult for him to be pretentious, he comes off as being arrogant to some people. Like when he was an panel host for Single Inferno Season 3, he was straightforward and blunt about some scenes. I just think its a simple misunderstanding mainly ingrained as part of his personality. I have watched almost all his reality shows, and if one does the same, they will be surprised how thoughtful and the much respect he has for someone older than him. You could say its because of the cameras. But there's a limit to how much you can pretend. Eventually, you real personality comes out.
P.S I noticed being blunt and straightforward---that people mostly describe as being arrogant and rude---are mostly associated with introvert individuals. I guess its because they lack awareness of being around people as much people as the extroverts. An extrovert can simply fit in and go with the flow of the mood or vibe. They may not be blunt as much as to not ruin the status quo. So, in a way it is a weakness for some introverts who are not shy to speak their minds. They risk to being blunt. On the flip side, introverts are good listeners. And most importantly, they're least judgmental---I know that contradicts the idea of them being blunt. But they're rarely on your business or even judging it. But if they think something is off with, they can get blunt about it. I thought I should mention their positive attributes now that l mentioned their negative attributes.
Instead of looking at the character, look at yourself. Would you let your friend hurt for something you can avoid…
Waah, I thought @Ayin really explained it well for you. You said you need to fight for what you love. But its not like you're fighting your enemy. Thats your friend. You can get their feelings hurt in the process. Initially, it was Lune who thought he was only one that had feelings for Star. He didn't think it was mutual. So in that case, their feelings weren't really confirmed. So in Lune's POV, why should he risk a perfect friendship by claiming an interest of someone his friend likes. But now that he knows Star likes him, he can finally plan on how to carefully deliver the news to White that he also likes Star and he wants to pursue her without hurting his feelings. I mean if it was a random stranger, you wouldn't give a f***k about their feelings and would do as you've suggested, 'fight for what he loves'. I don't know the type of person you are but I am the type of person who would not want to hurt the people around me, especially my friends and family. Now that the feelings are mutual between Lune and Star, I agree he should open up to White. White is their friend. You don't fight against your friends. You just look for a way to have them not hurt. Coz at the end of the day true friends are always on your side. I sensed you're the brutal honest type. Its okay if you're that type of person. So use this trick when you're handling your relationships, 'its not about the intent but the impact'. So always look at how your words or actions impact your relationship.
I didn’t want this to happen but I actually do not like Lune so far. White is just so honest, I mean, it’s…
Instead of looking at the character, look at yourself. Would you let your friend hurt for something you can avoid telling them? I mean its easy to judge if its not happening to you. Also, if Lune wasn't aware that White had feelings for Star, it would have been a whole different story. Lune would have told the truth. He wouldn't have a reason to lie. Its seems White is your favorite so far. So it doesn't help with your argument. This is because you'll see most things in his perspective. Yeah, that's being biased. Its not a bad thing considering its a drama and every viewer has a bias. But yeah I am judging from my experience. I have liked the same person as my friend. And in most cases, I gave up on that person for the sake of my friend. Also, like Lune, I have denied having feelings for that person to my friend to spare their feelings. I haven't found undeniable connection with a person like Lune has with Star to make me be in the same dilemma as Lune. If both me and the person, my friend and I like, had a deep connection, then honesty is the best option. Yeah, eventually, Lune should be honest with White. Especially now that Star has confessed and he feels the same way. I wouldn't advise him to throw away that connection. But again, we love our friends. Sometimes opening up such things may mean losing that friend forever. Don't be lied about someone being kind and they can forgive easily. Once they feel hurt or betrayed, you can lose them forever. So for me, Lune has a reasonable reason to lie to White. For now, actually. Maybe, not later. Its a gamble really. So give Lune a break.
I know we are only 3 episodes in but even only at this point I am always left thinking why is Lune not just honest…
Well, he knew beforehand White had feelings for Star. Honestly, I wouldn't blame him for that. If my closest friend had a crush on someone I liked, I wouldn't wanna hurt him. Plus, Lune has a social life thanks to White. So turning against him or hurting his feelings is hard even for Lune. Also, no one would have known he existed if not for White. Even Star didn't know him. So, he may feel indebted to White.
Well, I have a feeling she has something for White and not Star. But lets wait n see. She pretty much was worried about him when she saw his feelings get hurt.
she acts the exact same as male leads that everyone loves. I genuinely dont think people would dislike her if…
In both cases the FL lead retaliated. They even had to resort to physical violence in some. In crazy love, the FL made sure she got her revenge by publicly humiliating the ML. It happens. Not one side is taking the hit.
the drama was good...idk why ppl are talking shit about this...but there's one thing i was unable to understand...when…
Its been long since I last watched this, but if I remember correctly he started liking her when she stood by him when he was going through a depressive stage. It was when he lost his friend through the cruel sport fixers and Kwon Sook stood by him and didn't give on him.
she acts the exact same as male leads that everyone loves. I genuinely dont think people would dislike her if…
You just had to insert a sexist comment. No, a douche is a douche. And in most cases than not, they're disliked. Mention one Kdrama where ML was a douche or mean to the FL and the audience still liked him. No hate for the FL here though. She said some nasty things in ep 1 but I can tell she didn't mean that. Still bad but...
It seems the other three episodes were just a build up for the final episode. The last episode was epic. However, I felt like it was incomplete. Not the suspense type though. Maybe not the way I would expect. If you create a great momentum, the landing should be great. However, it did not land for me. The impact wasn't felt on my side. Even though the last episode kept me on the edge of my seat, I am not really intrigued. Like if a part 2 is made, I would watch it and if not I wouldn't be that upset. Thats what I meant by not landing. Maybe they should have 2 or more episodes like the fourth episode. You don't have to make the other episodes stale for your final episode to look epic. I would give the show a solid 8.5/10 for the effort.
Jin Se Yeon has gotten prettier over the years. Her acting has improved on this one too. So glad to Lee Ruby back, Love revolution is the last drama I saw of her. If she would have taken a lot of more projects after that drama she could have been huge right now. But I understand she prioritized school more than her career. Overall, its a great cast. I hope the storyline too become more interesting. I am just slightly worried since it's a 16 episode drama and with no other factor introduced to the storyline, the pacing can become slow in the middle episodes. Also, saw that the show has new directors. So this is their first project they are working on. Its a good first episode so I have a lot of expectations for the show. And ooh the ML is killing the role. Wow, I can't believe this is the first work I have seen of him and he seemed like a seasoned actor. He portrayed the emotions of someone traumatized or depressed so accurately.
