Omo, I thought it's only me who find Tae Joo's personality/ the way he behaves is similiar to Shi Mok from Forest of Secret, Yass!!

#1
It's his character, he kept his distance from everybody around him since ep 1 because he carried his own baggage, the ppl on 1988 has managed to make him open up a little, but ofc they couldn't make him drastically change, it needs time, little by little otherwise his character would be shown as inconsistence.

He might hv a very minimal dialogue & kept his distance from everybody but that doesn't meant that I can't feel his emotion.
Not every ppl would hv an exact reaction when they're suffering, some would let it outside, some would keep it inside & eating him alive. Tae joo is the later & I can feel his sorrow & burden that eating him inside little by little.

If you've watched the British version, I think you'll find the answer on why some ppl around him seem to hv no backstory, etc. But I think it'd be too spoilery if you haven't watched them yet.
So I can only say this, I think it's because the story revolve around him, everything is from his pov.

Something about 1%, one of the best kiss scene in kdrama I've seen

Me too, I find LBH despicable, it's sickening for me to see him in the drama so I choose not to.

There's some tension & hints about it as they're getting closer but so far nothing more as there's a lot of things happening rn & it's not their main focus, but both leads supportive to eachother & I lived for that moment <3

Me too TT

I dropped this at 4th ep so idk the current progress & won't talk about it (I'm just curious to see how they'll ended this).

I wont defend NS behaviour either because I do think both at fault at that time and I know So bong had reason to be mad at NS, but the way she act is like she put the blame all to NS when she brought that to herself, for that money she took & no one had actually forced her to.

She's being an ass to her father's (staffs?), when she asked for their help & promised them money but not giving one at the end & yells at them instead

Basically it's about So bong's misbehaviour, being an ass to her friend & hypocrite enough to blame others for her wrong doing (when no one actually forced her & she done it conciously with her 100% mind), but at that time you're teaching me about understanding & forgiving when my point is what's wrong is wrong no matter how bad her past is, having a bad past didn't justify their wrongdoing.
Being understanding is one thing, but what's bad is bad, no need to defend nor justify it.

"Having bad past can justify your wrongdoings?
HELL NO DUDE!"

@UglyDuckling Now you know what I feel about So bong during our conversation back then, right? Because that was my point that day & you didn't get it.

It has nothing to do with understanding his/her wrongdoing, what's wrong is wrong, no matter how bad their history are.

Who else had goosebumps & may hv forgotten to breath when watching ep 12? Because I am!

Ahh, I don't quite get what you've been asking before but now I get it, yes it's from one person pov (male lead) & not switching around the bunch :)

There's no male nor female perspective, it is from Han Tae Joo's perspective since this is a drama about Han Tae Joo, what he suffers/going through, etc, all are from his pov, you'd notice it rightaway once you've watched the drama.

Ikr, the longest week of my life & can't believe it's finally here, no more delay please, it's a plain torture TT

Oh idk that, fingerscrossed let them be a heart wrenching one, I really can't wait <33

True that the childhood part is important for them to develop the plot & reveal their secret later, but being important didn't make them interesting to watch, imo they could find another problem to dig or another way to develop their plot instead of throwing this childhood thrope. I usually don't mind w/ it but the way they executed it here felt force & unnatural.

Idc if the pairing seems awkward or doesn't seems to fit, they're actor & actress, anything can happen & I trust them can create a believable chemistry at the very least.

The plot sounds great & promising although am unfamiliar/never like the writer's past work. But the plot/character I think it's good for Bogum, a new challenge for him.

I'll watch this drama for sure because it's been like years I've waited for his new project, miss to see him on my screen so bad, see you on December Bogum <3

Agree, I love this show but their childhood part makes me cringe everytime. It's so unnatural & feels fake, I wish they remove it all together.
LYJ narcistic personality & their current bickering is a much better option to dig than their childhood nonsense, imo.
I love this show for always manage to give me a good laugh as well as realistic problem & mature act by the leads, just like normal adults do.

Every scene where Jun Soo show his feeling to Jung Eum never fail to make me teared up, I love how genuine & sincere they are. Gahh, I need another drama with them as the lead >.<

There's no doubt about that, esp with that amount of stares Na Moo & Nak Won had X'D

Comedy = Gold
Romance = ok
Characters = great
Brother's part = unnecessary
Childhood counterparts = cringey af X'D
