Fa isnt dead, and it never really seemed like he was in love with her. Even with Anya, he didnt appear to have any feelings for her, at least, thats what E2 suggests.

The last scene suggests so but cant say for sure until E3 airs.

Its available in our region. Btw there are some illegal websites also where you can watch ep for free.

E2 was even better than the first, the world they have built is so dark and captivating. Im completely hooked on the four girls auditioning, they are so damn fascinating, almost like modern day witches who would use any kind of dark magic to succeed. And that final scene gave me serious goosebumps. The direction and cinematography are top notch. The whole thing feels like a beautifully crafted horror art film.

E1 wasnt bad actually. The concept is interesting and the storyline quite engaging. However, the biggest drawback is the casting of the ML. Regardless of the controversies surrounding him, he feels completely out of place. He comes across as dull and uninterested in the role, which makes it hard to connect with his character, who to begin with, isnt very compelling. I really wish they had chosen a different actor. Also i really hope there is no romantic angle between the leads, not only do they lack chemistry but the age gap is painfully obvious and makes the pairing feel awkward.

My little wishful thinking is that the show ends with Yoo Junghoo playing the grown up son of Jieun and Yoonjae, who looks exactly like Jihun and they even name him Jihun. Thats how the age old family curse, which has been passed down through the maternal line, finally gets broken, since it mostly affects daughters.

As for Jihye, she is part of the family too, but since she never turned into a man, im guessing the curse didnt pass down to her so her descendants are probably safe lol.

She reminds me of those obnoxious vamps from soap operas who go out of their way to steal the ML from the FL.

I just love this show, its the perfect dose of fluff and warmth that instantly melts away stress. Ji Hun is such cutie and i ship him with everyone from Yoon Jae to Min Hyuk to even Yuri. He is so adorably clueless about how flustered Yuri gets around him and that just makes their scenes even funnier.

The only character i genuinely cant stand right now is the SFL, Kang Min Ju. She is incredibly annoying, boldly declaring herself as Yoon Jae’s girlfriend in front of his parents then saying she’s going to snatch him away from Ji Eun?? Thats just plain ridiculous.

But aside from her, im completely in love with this show. Its such a wholesome, feel good escape and i cant get enough of it.

Saying things like “I really don’t understand how people are saying this K-drama is one of the best currently airing” comes across as belittling other people's opinions about dramas or even them as individuals. You need to understand that different people enjoy different types of dramas. Its not necessary for everyone to like what you like or for you to like what they enjoy. It's okay if you dont like it but whats with the condescending tone?? It honestly feels like a superiority complex.

From what i have seen, most of the people praising this drama arent biased or blindly hyping it because of the leads. In fact, most of them are regular kdrama viewers. For you, it might not be better than Crushology but for them, it is or even the best currently airing. Its as simple as that.

Now coming to your second point:
“To be honest, it just feels like a Netflix production. There’s absolutely no Hallyu vibe here that reminds us of the classic K-dramas—those sweet and gentle ones where the male and female leads are shy and only kiss with cute, innocent pecks. But here? Like I said, it feels like a Netflix-style K-drama. We’re only three episodes in and they’ve already kissed multiple times, full-on. I don’t get how people enjoy this kind of thing in Asian dramas. Most of us started watching K-dramas because we loved seeing the couples kiss only after 10 episodes, with all the shyness and tension—unlike American shows.”

Just because there are kisses early on doesnt mean it suddenly becomes a Netflix style production. If anything, this drama feels more like the typical 2016-2018 web dramas, simple, fast paced, light romance. And yes, people enjoyed those web dramas back then and are enjoying this one now too. Also, keep in mind, the main couple in this drama is already in a relationship from the start. The shows you are referring to belong to completely different genres and narrative styles, where romance develops slowly and only kicks in around episodes 8-10. Thats why the kiss scenes are delayed. But here, you expect the same slow burn progression even though the couple is already together?? That makes no sense.

And finally, you said:
“Anyway, that’s just how I feel. I’m from the older generation of K-drama fans, and I’ll always prefer that kind of romantic pacing.”

You being from the older generation of kdrama fans doesnt give you or anyone the right to judge or look down on others for what they enjoy. If you dont like the drama, thats fine. Share your opinion about the show itself, not about the people watching it. This constant tone of superiority is the real issue here.

With E3 & 4, this drama thrilled like no other thriller. Definitely the thriller of the year. Action, thrill, suspense and cruelty were all notched even higher in these episodes. Both eps were exciting af. The world building is done so damn well.

Here i rate kdramas based on MDL standards. On this platform, anything below an 8, especially for kdramas, is garbage (most of the time). So my ratings reflect that mindset. An 8.5 means it was a mixed experience, while a 9 would indicate something truly impressive.
If i were using IMDB’s scale, i would have rated it around 6.5 to 7.

As the saying goes, When in Rome, do as the Romans do, so i adjust my rating style to fit the standards of each platform.

They spent far too much time on the gangster subplot, which was filled with unnecessary filler scenes. That time could have been better used to explore other cases. The gangster arc could have easily been wrapped up in a single episode, anything more felt excessive and made the track dull to sit through.

I get the message they were trying to convey about not allowing main bullying victim to become a killer. But in contrast, there was another victim who went on a mass shooting and ended up killing many students, including innocent ones. Honestly, if they had just let him take out the main bully, it would have felt far more satisfying and impactful.

Trigger is a thriller that makes you think about justice and taking the law into your own hands. It has a unique story, strong emotions, and great action scenes. Kim Nam Gil’s action performance is a highlight. Some parts feel slow or unrealistic, especially near the end. But overall, the show leaves a strong impression.

If you noticed, the elder sister had already said, Even if we cant imagine something like this, lets get a tattoo as proof. Imean, who would actually believe such a bizarre curse, that their mother once turned into a man and that this curse gets passed down through generations?? They got the tattoos as a precaution, just in case the unimaginable happened. But deep down, they never truly believed in it, it just sounded too absurd.
Even if we assume both sisters entertained the idea of one day turning into a man, imagine how shocking it would be: one day, a man suddenly wakes up in your sister’s place, wearing her clothes and acting like her. Of course no one would believe it without proof. Thats exactly why they got the tattoos, to prove their identity if the curse ever became real. So, the elder sister’s reaction was completely understandable.
Forget the elder sister, even Jieun struggled to accept that she had actually turned into a man. Imean, who wouldnt?? The whole thing is as absurd as it sounds.

There is been a lot of debate about whether this show is BL or not but based on whatever i saw in the first two episodes, it really doesnt give off any BL vibes. The two MLs definitely have amazing chemistry, more than the ML has with the FL but it still doesnt feel like a BL. It genuinely feels like Jihoon is Jieun, and even the close, intimate moments between Jihoon and Yunjae dont come across as romantic between two men. Whether its the actor's performance or the writer’s intent, they have done a great job making it believable that this isnt a gay romance, despite the gender swap and romantic plotline.

This drama is such a fun watch. E2 was even better than the first. Its hilarious how every girl is swooning over Jihun, from Jieun’s bestfriend to even Yunjae’s sister lol. The scene where Jieun’s bestie flirted with him, fully knowing he is actually Jieun, was especially funny.

I also find most of the supporting characters surprisingly likable. They dont feel annoying at all, instead, they are actually entertaining. Whether its Jieun’s sister, her bestfriend, her parents, Yunjae’s junior or his sister. I havent skipped a single scene so far, which is rare for shows like this. Yunjae’s junior was been really fun to watch in E2.

Main concept is quite similar to A Good Day to Be a Dog, with the whole generational curse passed down through the maternal bloodline that turns FL into an animal or man. Its a shared theme, but beyond that, everything else is different. This drama has its own unique flavor and charm.

I really enjoyed E1, it was cute, cliched and funny. Although its a low budget drama that gives off the vibe of a korean short web series but it was actually entertaining as a light, timepass watch.

The male version of Jieun (Jihun) was especially fun to watch, he actually had better chemistry with the ML than the female Jieun did. Also Jieun might just be the first girlfriend in a romance drama to get punched by her own boyfriend lol.

This is cute, cringe and cliche at same time lol.

LMAO not you still crying in the comments after getting blocked, thats some next level desperation, @DUMMY_sneh. You claim you gave me a taste of my own medicine, but sweetie, all you did was embarrass yourself and get kicked out like spam. The fact that you are STILL talking about me, untagged, trying to bait attention, just proves how obsessed and bitter you are. And that "you’d write worse if given a chance" line?? Girl, coming from a nobody with zero credibility and burner energy, its hilarious. You couldnt even write a coherent insult, let alone a script. Stay mad, stay irrelevant and maybe next time, pick a fight where you dont get dragged and blocked like the trash you type.
