MBC made me once again super emotional again

I'm crying like a baby about tempted, which I wasn't expecting but damn it is making me emo. Nobody but me is more surprised about how much I love this and how emotional it is making me. I never expected to love this drama as much as I ended up loving it. It's truly the plot twist of the century.

Also joy's character keeps receiving soo much hate and shit while I'm over here like.....?????

It is also funny how I initially loooved moon ga-young's character su-ji & how I thought se-ju needed all the protection in the world and my heart ached for. I didn't much care about joy's character aka eun tae-hui's boyfriend/love interest si-hyeon that much and now the roles are reversed. I'm now really disliking su-ji atm, I still like eun tae-hui (aka joy), se-ju is still a puppy and the best boy ever but he's kinda shitty to si-hyeon. But the most surprising thing ever happened, suddenly I'm on the si-hyeon protection squad, like every time I'm crying, I'm crying for him my poor baby. And like that's a lot.

I also initially thought that their friendship was amazing and I loved how they were the three musketeers, but omg the friendship between these three is truly becoming toxic. Si-hyeon initially liked su-ji but she didn't want to date him so they stayed friends, suddenly their parents were like we're getting married which they don't like so si-hyeon was like to su-ji hehe let's get married. But the bad Bitch she is (whom I initially loved) was like only if you prove your loyalty to me by breaking the heart of my ex boyfriend's first love will we get married. So dude was like okay then but shoooocker he started to really fall for that girl aka joy aka eun tae hui so he clearly stated to su-ji I'm dropping this bet & don't want to get married to you anymore. So now su-ji is mad he actually developed feelings for the girl & that he doesn't like her anymore. And of course she, su-ji, now really loves him while he doesn't  bc of eun tae hui, bad Bitch is like truly hurting my bby si-hyeon and coming between the two and being overall a really mean hurtful shitty and manipulative person to get her. And like that other friend of the trio se-ju of course is in love with su-ji so he automatically sides with her but he's generally really nice & has shitty home life too. But he's like SI HYEON YOU BITCH YOU MAKE SU-JI CONSTANTLY WAVER & YOU LEAD HER ON. While I'm like:
.....
Dude
He doesn't
Initially he was hesitant to admit he liked eun tae-hui but lol when he did dude didn't even hide his feelings for le girl anymore & he clearly said to su-ji lol I do not want to marry you anymore and I quit this bet. Like there is no way he lead her on, just the girl REFUSED TO GIVE UP and went full on brat like HE NEEDS TO LIKE ME OR OTHERWISE I'LL RUIN HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE HE TRULY LOVES SIMPLY BECAUSE I CAN AND I'M HURT. And they dared to call each other best friends, I'm like even though u ruin people's life for fun you don't do that to your supposedly best friends. Si-hyeon also started to learn like damn what we did was fucked up and me don't wanna do that anymore, even though everyone besides my gf is hurting me, but he was also soo scared of what his friends were gonna say of his relationship so he initially was hesitant to tell them (he didn't hid it from others, just them with her consent though) and he is never really open or honest or showing his true feelings with his best friends so I'm like ......

This friendship started out really cute, pure and as three broken people from broken homes becoming each others family into the most toxic thing ever. And TRUE friends wouldn't hurt their friend on purpose this many times while my precious bby doesn't.

Funny thing is that I initially even shipped su-ji with si-hyeon while now I'm like GURL WTF ARE U DOING? GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND STOP BEING SUCH A MANIPULATIVE CRY BABY ENTITLED BRAT BITCH because it is truly not a good look on you

I still love se ju too but he needs  to be nicer to my bby because now he's being unreasonable and fair. It is cute how much he is there for su-ji who ofc takes advantage of him too. God I really don't like her anymore.

Si-hyeon is definitely not a Saint either but he's truly learning how to be a better person and partner. His character development is just through the roof.

The last three episodes will make me decide if it's a 8 or 9 star show. I also see so many parallels to gossip girl. I always say it's the korean version of gossip girl but better.

BUT OMFG I TAKE EVERYTHING NICE BACK I'VE EVER SAID ABOUT SE-JU. HE IS EVEN WORSE THAN SU-JI. He's truly the worst. He told eun tae hui everything about the bet just because si-hyeon wasn't doing what he wanted which obviously had to do with su-ji and how si-hyeon should just date her and the it is his fault that their friendship is ruined according to asshole. But si-hyeon literally was planning on telling her at that moment but se ju intercepted eun tae hui. He literally made a beautiful ass diary with art and his true feelings while also confessing his sin.

I truly did NOT expect to like this drama this much or be a crying disaster over tempted. I in no way possible was expecting to be so emo over tempted. I haven't cried this much over a kdrama in almost forever. Okay that's me being dramatic since I was also emo af over the uncanny counter but truly since then I haven't cried this much over a kdrama.

In the end I've forgiven all of them even se-ju & su-ji and tempted became a 10/10 show. The ending was damn beautiful.
