They played us, and we got played.... xD

KSH trying to follow others for dance-steps is a clueless me trying to follow flash-mob moves from the last row, and lagging 2 beats. He is a complete MOOD! xD
KSH dancing to BP is something fans didn't knew they needed, and are glad to receive! His fanservice is <3 <3 <3

Same, my friend.....same! xD

I have a suspicion they did it for Ji-dal fan-edits, and if that's the case, I'm 100 percent sure the writers have a few saved on a secret folder in their phones, and they glance at them wistfully from time to time, for what could have been. :/

The gender-reverse grab parody was cute. They def tried to pull a WFKBJ-moment, but it left me with zero-feels. On the downside, I felt BAD for HJP. The writers be rubbing truckloads of salt on him :/

NOW I NEED KSH and SHS twerking to BP *__*
Man, k-ent be giving us crossovers, we don't deserve as fans! xD
*looks frantically for fan-edit material*
Brb <3

Why? Are they making him work too hard? Or he needs to have a sandwich cuz he's super skinny now? T_T

Trash the romance-bit in this, or dial it down a notch (maybe TEN notches..). Fulfill character growth arcs and show us the *very real* struggles of a brand-new 'start-up' (and not some 'lucky-unicorn' version of it), and delve a tiny bit more into how Sandbox protects its baby-businesses......
Easily would deserve a 9 (within top-10 of MDL list)

ooof, yess! xD

Yup, a standout moment from the show... even when i think back occasionally to this, this is the scene that pops up so effortlessly!

The epilogues especially were amazing. With CLOY and 18Again, I'm pretty sure k-dramas have nailed their 'epilogue-game', esp ones that make you cry!

Use iQiyi, with a VPN, set your location to Asia....iQiyi is a legal distribution partner after-all! :D Both free and paid VPNs work!

When the show failed in its writing/ logic department, they had KSH flex his dimples *extra-hard*, to fuel us into finishing this travesty. They even gifted us the power of his *forehead* (which he doesn't like flaunting, dunno why?), just to have us soldier on after the time-skip. ^^

Absolutely. it doesn't pretend to be what it's not, masquerading as some *deep-thinking*, profound, HS-drama, about life and its challenges :D

Don't worry, we were all bamboozled. I still want a refund.

Correct...if the handwriting-analysis algo had a part to play (i mean, that was our logical conclusion right?.. otherwise why specifically a *handwriting* analysis algo?)....
then DM would have confronted NDS first, likely in their office, post-work hours (instead of spotting HJP at their birdhouse, retrieving the letter).....
which would mean NDS indirectly ended up being responsible for exposing the whole scam (by writing the algo in the first place)... and thereby ruining his *own* chances in the process (because let's face it, he clearly wasn't going to reveal the secret anytime soon ....
which is a lot more poetic way for things to have gone down.

Yup, the trajectory is def disappointing. Ntm, it exponentially got worse :(

I think the word you're looking for is 'sabotage'.....the writers sabotaged the plot. Torpedoed her characters and kamikaze-ed the potential!
I need a refund for the time I spent on this. :/

Nope, not even people. It was 'L-U-R-V-E'. <3

Suzy also has this concept around her:
'XYZ is as beautiful as Suzy', 'My girlfriend will rip out my eyes if I look at another girl, but it's okay if the girl is Suzy', 'What is your biggest wish Sir? I want to see Suzy with my own eyes, just once'.
The number of times I have heard random variations of these lines from the netz, fans, non-fans etc. is mind-boggling. Her 'beauty' is given analogies of, is also a kind of 'benchmark' in a way. I can't think of any other idol/ actress, whose 'beauty' is spoken of, in the same breath as Suzy.

I think a large part of it has to do with the universality of her appeal. Secondly, I have a niggling suspicion, if you were to take a statistical average and generate a hypothetical model of a female face with ratios and proportions of what Koreans think is pretty/ beautiful as facial features, we would likely arrive at a simulated model, that would largely look a LOT like Suzy (i.e. she has most/ all the features of an 'ideal' 'korean-beauty'.

Thirdly, as somebody who studies human facial aesthetics as a hobby, academic research papers have indicated a profuse liking among humans, for 'average' features (i.e. neither too big & prominent, and neither too insignificant). Humans are also programmed to find highly sexually-dimorphic features, indicative of one's fertility, to be super attractive (i.e. features that we associate with a particular sex; for ex. plump rosy lips, a heart shaped jawline, a slightly rounder forehead with shallow incline, big round eyes, etc for females).... Thus, Suzy's 'average-ness' of features (her universal appeal) is what makes her attractive.

[this has nothing to do with Caucasian or western expectations of 'looks'. To give you an example of 'averageness', look at Asian models of Chinese origin: Ming Xi (previously a VS model, a far more 'average' looking model) versus Tsunaina (a tibetian editorial model, an other-wordly, ethereal kind of beauty); both being extremely beautiful]

Hence, actresses like SYJ, PMY may be more 'striking' than Suzy... but then Suzy is a more 'comfortable', and 'easily achievable' kind of a beauty, and thus, a household name. Sorry, that's just science :3
