Against my better judgement and with the lowest of expectations, I decided to watch this drama and gave the first episode a try.
I have four takeaways: 1) Im Soo-hyang is very pretty. This is my first drama with her and I've always been scared by her reputation but wow she's gorgeous and tbh her acting wasn't that bad. 2) that's the dude from Mr. Queen??? He's very tall, very hot and I wish he hugged me instead. 3) this drama is literally not original in a single way, but I really liked the humour somehow and the overall vibes. Less so the usual kdrama murder intrigue conspiracy plot.
it's amazing how Migyoung makes me feel so bad for her to the point that I want to fight Ha myself... then 10 mins later she's coldly sinking daggers into Suyoung and I lose all sympathy for her. Oh God, 30 minutes later, Migyoung really said she's entering her villain arc. Self respect went bye-bye. At least Sangsu at least had the courage to break off a relationship he felt was a lie, even if it was in the most despicable and ruthless way possible. Romantic love isn't owed or acquired, Migyoung, jfc. And ik she can find a much less problematic match.
This study group girl went to the Migyoung Academy of Interpersonal Relationships. Acting like that... Right in the front of the actual gf... In front of all their friends.
Wtf?? Why is Suyoung to blame for Ha's feelings??? That scene was so infuriating, idk if I will be able to feel sympathetic for Migyoung from this point on. Good Lord, every episode these characters just get worse.
so that's how they choose to adapt SY's one night stand with Gyeongpil from the novel. I genuinely think a line has been crossed. Even if she's doing it with the best of intentions, this shit is so fucked up. I doubt that she slept with him fr (I haven't read the novel, just heard about the plot points) but causing this level of emotional damage... I want to see how ppl in this subreddit defend Suyoung now.
very paint by the numbers and tropey. still, it was funny and interesting even it didn't give us anything new and barely did anything with the soul trapped in phone gimmick. best possible ending. 8.5/10.
How bad was the sex??? I feel bad for Jeonghyun, because the face that she made afterwards was BRUTAL. Next time, try not dating the dude who reminds you of your brother.
I think ep. 9 was the best so far. Even for this drama, today's plot was TENSE. They keep promising us something us something spicy each other and they never deliver (ofc the hotel scenes were a bait and switch, you really think these two idiots with emotional openness of the Maginot Line were gonna have infidelity sex?) but now it feels either or both relationship is about implode soon.
Amazing acting by MGY and the lady playing the SFL. That scene where they were having wine felt like two people barely restraining themselves from tearing each other's faces off. Figuratively ofc. The way she turn over that phone was so petty, it's funny. I was hoping that Gyeongpil was just some dude who saw thru Migyoung and liked to create chaos every now and then, but the revelation that he cheated on her so horribly casts everything he says and does in a much harsher light. And it doesn't even feel like he feels bad for what he did, so I hope there's more to their backstory.
Their little date at the beach was the cutest shit. Why can't we have 8 episodes of this instead?? T-T
thanks to the ml who was running to meet her and suddenly turned back , everything got complicated 😂
Bro hesitated for ten seconds... She cut him off. Security guard ghosted her, broke up with her and left for the countryside... But still got a second chance. So, no, blame goes to Suyoung and even she thinks this.
this drama always promises us something spicy in the preview but then gives us nothing. Instead we just get a 1hr16min of two ppl looking like they want to tear each other's clothes off... While their actual partners are right next to them. And absolutely nothing happens in the plot either. And yet we keep coming back to this drama...
Idk if Sangsoo and Su-young really decided to listen to my advice and booked a room. 100% this is bait. Honestly, I have doubts that >!Migyoung and Sangsoo even had sex, Ha seems so tightly wound together, they probably just slept chastely next to each other lol!<. That being said, Migyoung is so daring. I don't think many kdrama female characters would straight up barge into their BF's house & demand to stay over. I was honestly blown away by her do (Sangsoo) or die attitude.
But she was so mean this episode, even worse than last time. it was like she was speedrunning every possible way to irritate Suyoung. More than even coyly showing how Sangsoo sleeps over at her house now, the way she tossed that cloth to the floor made so mad at her.
I still feel nothing for Jong-hyeon and Su-young's pairing but I guess that fridge sequence was cute. But since they've moved in together, like the book readers said, will the drama have >!him cheat on Suyoung too?!< Is this where it's leading to? Is that why they showed girl in the study group?
