With Jang Ki Yong I’d be the first to admit I would be longing af 🙋🏼‍♀️🤣 Longing for and actively pursuing are two different things.

Listeeeeen I’m just saying out loud what I 💯know that the rest of us here are thinking 😏If anyone here claims to NOT feel at least a little warm 🔥on the inside by the ML’s charisma and the pure sexual energy that radiates off of him, they’re lying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I remember there were other people feeling uncomfortable with this show. I personally didn’t see the romance reciprocated from his side until much later. It took him a while, even after reuniting with her in college, to begin to see her as anything other than a sister-type figure. And he honestly had no idea that she liked him for as long as she did, which comes out much later in the show.

😏😏😏😏Make sure you have an ice bath ready 🧊

Well the ML was literally panting and short of breath and setting my insides on fire from his smoldering gaze soooooooo hope that helps

I tuned out everything else on the show except the leads’ romance lol. Everything else paled in comparison and was just not interesting haha

For me I lowered the rating because it took so long until she grew up. I understand the necessity of building the foundation of their relationship, but being a romance junkie I struuuuuuuuggled waiting until the romance kicked off after she got to college.

Yup. This one is still the best.

My favorite Asian show of ALL time.

Arthur Chen is ❤️‍🔥🤌🏻

How is the romance in this one? Are there kisses, skinship, emotional scenes, etc?

Sure, but with the high levels of flirting, dating, and making out & almost sleeping together, from his POV she treated him very poorly and repaid his straightforward honesty with deceit.

Yeah I get what you’re saying, and the low self-esteem makes a lot of sense. I get where she’s coming from, but I also am not the biggest fan of the way she treated him - first with ditching him without a goodbye after almost having sex with him, and then the showing back up with the lies. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I hope it doesn’t drag out forever, though.

And why doesn’t the FL have reason to trust him? He was honest with her about faking the dating. On the beach he was completely straightforward and honest about his feelings and asked her on a date. He defended her from her ex. and has been nothing but good and real with her since the beginning. He has not given her any cause not to trust him, and she liked him too. I get that her situation is serious, but the ML hasn’t done anything to her to make her believe he’s not trustworthy. Just my opinion 🤷🏼‍♀️

I cannot imagine that this will have a happy ending…

Saaaaaaammmeee

Yeah I don’t see it the way you do. She liked him a lot in the first couple of episodes as well, agreed to go on a date with him when he asked and almost slept with him. It wasn’t a one-sided crush, it was mutual. The ML has not done anything to suggest that he’s not genuine.

At the start of the show they hadn’t been married for very long, it was an arranged marriage, and the ML was incredibly frustrated with the FL because she was being financially taken advantage of by her mother and didn’t set boundaries.

I have a feeling the angst is gonna be too much for my enjoyment, unfortunately. I hate lies, miscommunication and keeping secrets as a means to create / perpetuate romantic drama, but I guess I’m hoping that with only 14 episodes it won’t drag out. What I have a feeling I’ll struggle the most to understand is why wouldn’t she secretly tell the ML of her situation and trust that he’d go along with it and keep her secret? I mean he had them pretend that they were dating in order to mess with her ex, so it’s not so far-fetched to assume he’d be fine with her ruse. Obviously they like each other, so how would it be a stretch for her to trust that he would help her keep her position in the company? idgi. That way she wouldn’t be hurting him AND potentially gain a good ally for her agenda? That’s what I want to see.

Finished episode 2. I am terrified of the upcoming angst 🫣
