The show falls off a bit past the half way mark (around ep 7-8) and gets too preachy for my liking. The acting thought was great. I was able to get the plot twist simply bc the backstory didn’t add up at all too me lol. Solid 7/10 though

In Eunyu’s case I don’t think that’s true. When talking to Harin she literally says that Justin was right in that she chose to help Jiyoung when she should’ve helped him during the game. Even though she doesn’t completely own up to leaving Justin out of the plan he created she acknowledges that she understands why he felt betrayed by her. Also Eunyu didn’t do all of that and then later on in the season claim he’s against betrayal/ganging up on one person. Not comparable.

I admit I thought you were talking about viewers with the insecure part but I still don’t agree that the way Hyungyu talks only comes across as harsh to ppl who are insecure. Regular everyday people in SK who watched this program said the way Hyungyu spoke was rude. Implying that HJ is insecure because he doesn’t like to be spoken to rudely is an insane take but okay…It’s okay to admit the man isn’t cautious about how he speaks to others. Doesn’t make him a bad person probably just means the guy doesn’t have high EQ. I think you’re trying to make Hyungyu look like a better player than he was when you say things like “the way he spoke was apart of his masterplan” bc did HE say that? Or did you make that up in your head?? Horrible person? No. But do I want to see him on a program like this ever again? Absolutely not 😭

Yea no. The viewers know the PA ostracized players and eliminated them. The whole point of the argument is that KH sat on his moral high horse and acted like doing that was against his character/how he wanted to play when he’s been doing it this whole game and benefiting from it. When the players from the PA did it at least they stood on it and admitted that that’s what they were doing. I get it you like Hyungyu !! But there’s a reason why so many ppl felt he came off negatively. That may not be the case for YOU but to chuck it up to ppl being insecure is delusional. The way he talked to/about certain players he felt like were beneath him was uncalled for. I actually think Hyungyu deserved to win bc he was able to pick out the right simps (KH and SH) to bring to the end and he actually played to win. KH and SH on the other hand simply cared about how they would come across to the audience (look how that backfired lol) and about handing Hyungyu his win on a silver platter. Just a waste of a spot why even come to play the game in the first place?

?? Justin most definitely tries to speak in Korean when he can and its been showcased numerous times where he's tried to communicate to the rest of the cast in Korean but it's very obvious that while he can understand when being spoken to in Korean for the most part (though not fully) he's not that good at speaking in Korean. I mean the man thought that in the first game 7high was the corrupt cop for Christs sake. It's very obvious that this experience is difficult for him to fully understand but the man is trying his best.

Idk I love how Suho haunted the narrative of this season and how Beomseok was Sieun’s guilt personified.

I don't think the reason why Sieun stays away from everyone has anything to do with trust? It more so has to do with Sieun's own guilt bc he believes he doesn't deserve to be happy. He also thinks that getting close to people just leads to tragedy so he tells himself being alone is more comfortable for him.

The scene we get between Sieun and the Beomseok in his subconscious was so good. We get to see how much Sieun really still has a soft spot for Beomseok and feels like he abandoned him/couldn't save him, leaving Beomseok surrounded by darkness. I also like how they personified Sieun's trauma using the image of Beomseok. We see Sieun let go of the guilt he feels as we get the image of Beomseok letting go of Sieun's hand. He's finally healing. Honestly this scene might be the best one of the season and the acting between the two was phenomenal.

Nobody is really talking about it but the scene we get in episode 7 but lets discuss:

If you believe the writers wrote Jun Tae a certain way to dunk on Beomseok’s character then I’m afraid you weren’t watching this season with your eyes open 😭

I just feel like if they trashed the Chanyoung tennis storyline we would be a lot further in Heesu and Seungwon’s development. His storyline feels so cut off from the rest of the characters other than JiYu (sorta) that I feel like it’s not needed. It takes up too much of the episodes time and it’s boring as hell.

My biggest grip with Chanyoung's character is he was starting to become someone who added absolutely nothing to the main storyline so I'm glad the writers started fixing that about his character in the newest episode. I still stand by my opinion that this isn't a BL like everyone wants it to be at least not a typical one which is why both couples take up an equal amount of time. If you can't stand seeing a straight couple on your screens I would either drop it now or continue skipping their scenes together. I don't mind them especially Ji Yu but I find Chanyoung's character and his storyline involving his brother/family a complete snooze fest. I also want to say that every even episode feels like a bunch of filler so I don't know what was going on in that writing room but I'm gonna need something interesting to happen before I completely tune out.

Heesu is still definitely showcased as the main character from what I'm watching but the het couple is definitely developing faster which is why I can understand some fans being upset. While the webtoon is a BL it's obvious to me at this point that the writers of this show aren't creating it as strictly as BL. This week I definitely feel like both couples were showcased a lot more evenly though

Was it though? From what I remember it was always advertised showcasing the two couples Heesu and Seongwon and Chanyoung and Ji Yu

Literally! I really don’t mind the straight couple at all. I only wished we saw Heesu and Seongwon together more but it’s obviously a slow burn so I wasn’t too upset with the episodes last week.

I kinda feel like it was Youngyi bc there was a photo that was taken at the hospital and posted and in the picture Youngyi is holding the phone. Pretty sure she took the picture and posted it which adds more validity to this theory.

Yall the deleted scene that was posted yesterday kinda shows that Suho lied to Beomseok about deleting his IG. What’s that about bc now I’m confused 😭

EDIT: I saw a theory that Suho did delete the app but Young Yi might’ve redownloaded the app and followed herself on there which added to Beomseok and Suho’s misunderstandings. It also gives further context to the scene between Beomseok and Youngyi in the last episode…

? Was the show supposed to start off with them making out or something? This is how all regular Korean romance dramas start out and the characters are in high school.

I’m sorry this “critique” is actually unserious. Friends joke all the time like this it was light hearted. The banter between the friends seemed really natural. As long as the main character remains Heesu and the gay storyline remains intact what’s the actual problem? Will seeing a straight storyline make you burst into flames or something?

Give this show a chance the first episode was really good yall

I pray love like this never finds me 🙏🏾 2 out of 3 of these love interests are out of their damn minds
