The episode was okay, and the chemistry was good. I really feel bad for Eun Jo , You can tell she feels trapped, like she doesn’t truly belong in the life she’s been forced into. It’s especially sad that she ends up accepting a marriage to an old man instead of finding a way out. Rather than rebelling, she tries to survive by making the best of an impossible situation, and that quiet resignation makes her story even more heartbreaking.
As much as I hated that scene, calling her a sasaeng is honestly crazy 😳 I don’t think people really know what that means what she did was completely harmless and nothing like the obsessive behavior that term implies. She was just caught up in her feelings, not invading anyone’s life.
I totally agree. she was fast becoming one of my favorite FLs until this. I’m mad at the writers because it…
Ugh, I hated that too 😩 it felt so unnecessary and out of nowhere! But honestly, she’s still my favorite FL her professionalism, confidence, and how she handles everything with boundaries just keeps her at the top for me. That one scene doesn’t erase everything that makes her amazing.
I love Maeng Se Na she might honestly be one of my favorite FLs in a while but finding out she didn’t sleep or eat for three days just because of his dating gave me the biggest ick. I am glad the show is actually addressing stuff like this though, because this kind of behavior exists in real life, especially in idol fandoms, and it’s honestly insane. Like girl… you don’t know that man 😭 it’s odd to me how normalized that level of emotional investment is.
I’m not really an idol fan (I don’t even listen to K-pop, I’m more into dramas), but if my favorite actress started dating, I’d be happy for her that’s her life. Obsession being framed as devotion is exactly what needs to be called out.
People keep saying this would be better as a non romance and I’m confused because… the drama is literally a romance? 😭 The chemistry is there already. I’m enjoying the story way more than I expected, and her already being obsessed is honestly what makes their dynamic fun. Can’t wait for the moment she falls in love with him, not the fantasy version she imagined.
I’ve also seen people complain about the FL being an “obsessive fan,” but she hasn’t done anything out of line or creepy at all. She’s actually very smart, self aware, and extremely professional when it comes to her job.
I’m honestly so excited for this drama! I love Nam Ji-hyun, and it’s been a while since we had a good historical K-drama. The story seems really interesting, the chemistry looks great so far.
Every Do Ra-il scene makes me want to cry. The actor is so good he carries this quiet sadness so well. You can tell this is someone who’s been longing to be loved his whole life, but never truly loved for who he is, only for what he represents. He honestly reminds me of Tantai Jin 😭 I’m just hoping his peaceful days come soon because my heart can’t take this anymore. And Maeng Se-na… I love her so much. She’s literally representing us fan girls, but what I love most is how professional, smart, and level-headed she is. She knows when to draw boundaries and when to stand her ground, and that makes her even more lovable.
I was trying to watch this drama because I really like the cast, but omg… I just can’t with this story. It’s so uncomfortable, I feel like the plot is straight-up predator energy. I love the actors but the way this is written is giving me major cringe and anxiety vibes.
