That’s part of it. Hardly anyone likes him to be honest. He is salty about her privilege, as he made that comment about her “leeching off her parents” and being pathetic.

Yeah so most people don’t like the SML. In the novel they fleshed out their relationship a lot more, but essentially he struggled with their socioeconomic differences and spends the show very much sending her mixed signals, being petty and acting entitled. When I initially read your comment, I thought you were confused about the ML’s behaviors towards the FL 😆 THAT is what gets explained later. The SML (Zhuang Xu) doesn’t have a lot to explain. Yes he likes her, and yes he rejects her and pushes her away 😂

It will all be explained later on. if you want me to spell it out, I can spoil it 😊

She grows up. The show starts when she’s a senior in high school and continues into her adulthood. she’s supposed to be childish in the beginning because she’s young.

Yeah you can only rate each episode on the website. You find the show, then click on tbe “episodes” tab and rate from there 😊

Hey all 👋🏻 I know that a lot of people may be waiting to watch until the full show is released, but this is just a friendly reminder to rate each episode on the MDL website if you have time. It has more of an impact on the overall rating if you rate each episode at a time rather than one blanket rating.

I had a thought that I would not mind at all if Gwang Su takes over the case if the romance between Laik and Sena takes off before the case is closed. I hope that we do get romance before the end, as I do want episodes of them actually dating and being a couple. If Gwang Su takes it over, then it leaves our leads to be partners in crime and investigate together without the pressure of her having to also be his lawyer 😎

Raik won’t last three days out in the world on his own now tbh 🤣

That perspective does make more sense. Now that I am also thinking more about it, I wonder if Raik took it as a personal rejection when she told him that she separates work from her personal life. Maybe he interpreted as that she doesn’t have feelings for him, which is why he said that he can’t draw those lines like she can (because he likes her). I still don’t get the “but because you made me believe you” line though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hmm. I watched it and will have to see the whole episode. I don’t quite get what Raik meant when he said, “I’m not acting like this because I believe you lied to me, it’s because you made me believe you.” In the context of him saying that he can’t draw the line between work and personal… I don’t quite understand.

I also think that on top of everyone else’s comments on reasons why it’s such a big deal to Raik that she’s a super fan, I also want to throw in that fans at this point are probably a pretty big trauma trigger for him. Two broke into his house to harass him, he has been publicly bullied / humiliated by them during autograph sessions, and after he has been framed for murder many of them have given him death threats and said that he deserves to die. So yeah, not only does Raik feel like a product and a commodity that people use and then discard, but I think he also has trauma from them too. I have noticed up until this point when Raik feels vulnerable he makes himself small - crouching down covering his head, laying on the fetal position curled into himself, etc. His body language was similar at the end of episode 6 when he found out that she was a fan - crouched in a corner in the shadows. I think trauma is a factor as well.

Very 😊

Mmhmmm! It just makes me excited to see how he responds when he finds out that she cared about him a loong time before he got famous and that she may be one of the few people in his life who knew the real him. Ugh! It all makes me excited. They have such a wonderful connection / bond.

The FL’s life as a fangirl is not a prominent part of the show. You see quite a bit of it in the first episode, and then a small amount through flashbacks. It’s not like HPL where she follows the idols around with cameras. Once the murder kicks off, the focus is not on her life as a super fan. It really is not like your typical idol drama.

💯. I can’t wait for her to talk to him about that first meeting. I have high hopes of it being a veerrryy emotional scene.

I was told that they are setting up Raik with Sena :) After the way his ex treated him - like almost running him over in her car and being nasty to him when they broke up a while back… there’s no way that the writers will try to set them back up.

Too early to tell yet, maybe

I really hope you’re right! 🤞🏻Maybe they will all do a final concert before they all disband.

Maybe not irl, but in 12 episodes they kinda have to. I also attribute it to a couple of things- like first off I imagine there’s a huge weight off his shoulders now that he’s not performing and not feeling the pressure of fame and what all he had to lose in order to remain in the industry. Those pressures have been lifted, so the lighter mood makes sense. Despite the legal charges, his life has become a lot quieter. He’s been having more time to hang out and relax at Sena’s house. To go grocery shopping and cook. He has been sleeping better. He hasn’t been drinking as much. He’s living with someone who he believed didn’t know much about him, so the pressure to be the image of the idol that others expected wasn’t there. It’s pretty remarkable how quickly someone can change once they have been taken out of the environment that stunted their growth. I’m a plant lady, so I love using the analogy of growing a plant. If a plant isn’t thriving, you don’t blame the plant. You look at it’s environment and what it’s lacking and what the plant needs. Once you change that plant’s environment and give the plant what it needs, the plant begins look better fairly quickly. Also, he is still depressed 😅He cries a lot during every episode, still struggles with anger, etc.

Yeah I would like to think so, too. Just wondering if anyone knew.
