As far as I know the webtoon has 150+ chapters and it's still ongoing currently on it's 2nd season?! And ep 8 is around the 50th smth chapters so I believe there is definitely room for another season!

What a crazy way to end ep 8...I can't wait for Han Ui and his lapdogs to lose their grin!!

Btw grandpa's scene got me ugly crying 😭😭😭

The night has come & weak hero class 1

Oh I see thanks! Hopefully, they will conclude this and won't leave it too much of a cliffhanger knowing how we will have to wait at least a year for S2...I am glad tho that there is left material to cover!

Beyond the thrilling fight scenes and comedy moments, this show really dives deep emotionally and offers some valuable life lessons. So many powerful quotes have truly struck me throughout the series and caught my attention.

"You're not weak. You're just not strong enough yet."
"I was just a big fish in a small tank back then."
"The moment a person stops learning, their life stops too."
"Thanks to studying I become a better person than I was yesterday."

I get you 100% cause this is EXACTLY how I feel about this drama too!! So sad next week will be the finale 😭😭
And hopefully, we will get a S2 even if we have to wait a year...

Maybe they will save it up for season 2?? I heard they have mixed up the webtoon timelines a bit in the adaptation, let's let them cook ><

Just finished episode 7 and diving straight into the next one...GUYS, THIS DRAMA IS A GEM!! I can’t believe it's ending next week! We need another season of this! There hasn't been a single dull moment—it's pure adrenaline and excitement the whole time. I'm already dreading the withdrawal after it ends! I haven't been this hooked on a series in forever!!
It just hits all the right spots perfectly!! Best webtoon adaptation I watched so far 😭

Someone recommended me Kisskh, so I watched them there. Although it's a machine translation, the translation is decent if you ignore some grammatical mistakes.

I finally found a source with good subs to watch this, and the first two episodes I saw today were pretty solid! Episode 1 was a bit slow to get into, but the second one definitely picked up the pace. I can already tell this drama is going to be a wild ride. Jei is such a complex, multi-layered character, and I’m excited to see how she unfolds. I have a feeling she’s going to be both poison and the cure for Seulgi or at least, I feel that’s what she wants to become to her. She seems to find Seulgi’s resistance and pridefulness intriguing, and that’s what draws her in?
As for Seulgi, I really feel for her. The whole 'missing child' storyline on ep1 was a bit hard to buy though like, how could the orphanage and police not help her find her family, especially since her father reported her missing and handed out flyers based on the ep's scenes? Plus, she didn’t seem young enough to forget her full name and other important info, so that part felt a little off to me. Still, she’s already been through so much in the orphanage and rural high school, and now she’s found herself in an even bigger mess... sigh.

By the way, any manhwa readers who’ve finished it? Does it have a happy ending?

Also for those who have already watched the Pyramid game, so far this drama feels like a Suji x Harin AU to me! Like what we could have had if... ><

Thank you!

All I am gonna say is this~

"Is there romance? Or some romantic moments?"

Hyeri: yes

And the full kiss scene dropped today ^^

So dark romance does exist, and GL is definitely not just a figment of my imagination! Overall, I'm here for the plot, not for the skinship scenes—but if they're well done, that's a nice bonus for me! So maybe it's time YOU stop spreading misinformation.
Also about that part for your essay, " i just hate when masterpieces like these ones get terrible rating because you all didn't get what you wanted. So let me ask again why do you all desperately want it to be a GL when it isn't?"
It seems like you're projecting based on your own experiences. Personally, I rarely rate ongoing dramas, especially ones I've dropped! I'm not the toxic, whiny person you're trying to make me out to be, and I’m not fixated on this being a full-fledged GL (however I did mind your words cause they were trying to erase the GL aspect of it altogether and you calling people weird doesn't change shit). If anything, it’s you who's clearly obsessed with the idea of this not being a GL. And sadly, even the lead actress seems to disagree with you!

First of all, please refrain from making assumptions or generalizations. I never tried to sexualize anyone; I merely stated a fact that this is adapted from a GL work and has GL elements in it. Also, I haven’t watched any episodes yet. All I’ve seen so far are the brief teasers, which included a kiss, so there’s limited material to assess how the script will be adapted. We don’t yet know how similar it will be to the GL Manhwa.
Secondly, including certain elements doesn't necessarily change the entire genre, but it does affect how the story unfolds and the dynamics between characters. Just like how a comedy can have moments of drama or horror can have moments of romance, the development of a relationship between the leads, especially when it's complex, doesn't always fit into just one neat category. The key is in how it's handled and portrayed. And not all stories follow traditional romance formulas, otherwise toxic/manipulative relationships as a trope wouldn't exist in "darker" romance genre (not that I am hellbent on them becoming a canon couple here anyway).

As for your next point, it seems you’ve missed my previous reply. LGBTQ+ issues are still viewed a certain way in Korea, so please do your own research on that.

Lastly, it’s interesting that you’re calling me delusional. This is the first discussion we had earlier, and yet you suddenly know enough about me to call me weird and say I throw tantrums when all I did was say things as they are. It's kind of funny.

And for the record, if you actually knew me, you'd realize I’m also a fan of series that don’t focus on romance. I’m not obsessed with sexualizing characters—far from it actually. I am here for the plot not for their kisses or sexual scenes if anything I left a comment earlier saying how I hope they don't overdo it if there is any^^

Oh really? Can I have a link pls?

The way you contradict yourself in just one sentence...How can it have GL scenes and not be GL?? Ofc the director won't say much knowing how Korea still acts to this day...They will try to gain positive attention from both sides for the show's success.
And what's the weird thing about GL?? Mind you the original material this drama is based on is a GL manhwa. I swear some of you act dense on purpose.

Yes, I don't mind that! I know that the development of their relationship is central to the story, so it will include such scenes. I just hope they won't try to overdo it just to get more hype and lose the ball in the meantime...If anything I am interested to see how they will unravel the psychological part of this story and their relationship development.

Aren't the eps just 30 min long? So 4 eps/ week is just like the usual 2 eps/week we get from bigger productions... Plus if the drama is good rather than overwhelmed I would be happy to get more eps so soon except if it's just bad lol (but since I have yet to find them in good quality I have yet to comment on that).

Whoa btw just listened to the OST!! Idk if it's just me but this reminded me of Paint the Town Blue Jinx's song ><
And I think it suits this drama well cause our girlies here have some craziness and rivalry in them too!! It strikes a perfect balance between alluring you and then making you uneasy building a sense of tension and anticipation for what's to come next!!
Hopefully, the drama will serve too^^

Okay I might have to wait a bit more cause the quality of subs is not good yet sigh...
They should have found an international platform at least TT

Okay, just before checking the eps I want to say, that as much as I am happy that this is not censored I hope they won't focus too much on those scenes...Rather than having sensual/skinship scenes to attract attention, I would prefer they give more emphasis on giving us a solid plot and acting!! I am wishing for something like Pyramid Game so I hope this serves!!
