That's too far for me haha. I will take your word for it 😁

Well I guess I must be mistaken then. I must have missed it. Do I have to click load more comments?

I guess we just have to agree to disagree. :)

I myself don't personally like all the conflict and turmoil that is happening with Junyoung, it was painful to watch. I agree in that aspect I would have liked if the conflict and angst was cut down way more.
However, I am not picky on the ratio of sports that is shown the show.
I guess I am more invested in the romance than anything else. So the more romance time I can get in this drama that's what I care about haha.

I didn't see any comments that said that people should stop commenting and drop the drama, unless I am mistaken.

I saw someone's comment below say that should go play badminton already. Basically saying that they are focusing on other things rather than playing badminton.

I just think each drama is different and this writer wanted to focus more on the emotional and romance aspects in this drama and have the sports as the backdrop.

Yes Weightlifting fairy is more fluffy side completely different mood for sure, but it was still focused heavily on the romance and life issues. It wasn't just sports each scene. It is understandable for people to be disappointed if one expectation aren't met however I do think people expected the drama to be something that it was not meant to be in the first place and then being disappointed by that. Many people mentioned Racket Boys (which I haven't watched myself) when commenting but they are completely different styles of dramas from a glance, the only common thing they have is badminton. And I think many people thought it will be heavily sports like Racket Boys .

Yes I hate noble idiocy too and I am glad the writer is not going that route. Taeyang tried to pull a noble idiocy but Taejun was like heck to the no, not going to happen.

Yes manifesting Taejun into real life, I would marry him in a heartbeat.

Also I don't know why people are getting very triggered that there isn't enough sports.
This is a romance and sports drama. It's not just a sports drama.
I personally didn't come here thinking they will be just playing sports in every scene because it is a romance drama. If you have watched classic dramas like Weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Joo then you would get the gist of how sport romances are. They focus mainly on the characters lives and emotional struggles and mainly the romances but have the setting in a sports environment. So I would say the focus is a little bit more on the romance and life struggles.

Taejun is absolutely amazing beautiful human being. As I said before he is absolutely husband material. They way he loves Taeyang through every hard situation. They way he is persistent, resilient and unconditional with his love towards Taeyang is so touching.
I love how we were all anticipating break ups multiple times and Taejun keeps on saying "nope not going to happen" . He holds onto her no matter what. He loves her so much 🥰 The end scene was so touching.

Also you can see in this episode that Taeyang is really trying her best. She is not a villainous or malicious person, she was just a human being who made mistakes and she is trying her best to make everything right and I commend her for that. And I hope she realizes that a human being who made mistakes is still deserving of love.

I'm from New Zealand and for some reason the episodes come earlier for me.

Episode 11 is now available on Disney+ just to let everyone know :)

No worries at all. I am glad you are doing better now.

I think with TY meeting JY and also the kneeling and apologizing shows how very desperate she is to get rid of that feeling that has been weighing on her for too long. Like she said, she can't breathe and it's gotten to a very suffocating level of guilt. And I can imagine her just wanting JY to just say one word, just one word to ease all that guilt . So to me seeing her do all those things shows how desperate she is and I think absolutely realistic and very human of her.
I do hope though that TY does stand up for herself and that she does gain strength but it is difficult thing to do when everyone around her is telling her she doesn't deserve good things to happen to her or they make her feel guilty when good things happen to her. So I understand how hard it is for her to think to get herself help because at the moment she thinks she deserves the suffering and that's sad.
I always think there is process to getting better and sometimes there is the ugly phase and right now she trying ever immediate option she has to soothe the pain but hopefully she will get the help she needs and starts to fight back emotionally. Her even coming to play badminton is her fighting back already. And she did leave badminton for a bit, but clearly she loves the sport too much and I don't think people should give up something they love.
I guess we will see what happens next episode. :)

I'm actually enjoying this drama

Sorry that you went through something similar 💛 . And I agree in those difficult moments, it's good to just let it all out and cry. I have had some hard times too so I definitely empathize with Taeyang's character a lot too.

Sorry about what you have gone through 💛. I have gone through depression myself and it's ok to cry. Actually it's understandable to cry because it's not an easy situation when one is going through hard times. And I deeply believe people don't always have to be composed and strong and put together and I believe that it's always ok to let it all out and cry.

If you are going through depression, self hate, guilt and have extreme low self esteem it's not that easy to stop crying.

Exactly if Taeyang gave Junyoung space then Junyoung will now complain about how she is not apologizing or groveling or working to be forgiven. Taeyang is doing the best she can, what else do people expect her to do.

And I agree TY would have absolutely taken the responsibility three years ago because she really cared about JY. And also if JY told the truth of what happened, TY would have absolutely still taken ownership.

The way she is behaving and the harshness she is coming at Taeyang and the guilt weight she is putting on Taeyang shows that she thinks it is all and majority Taeyang's fault. If she thinks she had some responsibility she wouldn't be behaving the way she is behaving and she wouldn't be trying to make Taeyang feel like she is a horrible person. The accident is the main reason why she is angry because it stopped her from doing badminton the thing she loved the most. If she is not angry at that, that then everything would have been resolved by now. Even when Taejun was talking to her in episode 9 and said that the incident was an accident she got very triggered by that and again that clearly indicates that the accident is the main reason and also that she is putting the blame on Taeyang. And now also the the thank you is also added to the list of things she is angry at.

Even though her mother is alive, she was adopted. The coach is not her biological father. We do not know if her biological father is alive or not.

As you said yourself Junyoung chose to protect Taeyang she was not forced to nor was she asked by Taeyang. She made the suggestion first then got irritated when Taeyang said thank you. And Taeyang snatching Junyoung's career was not intentional at all. Taeyang is not malicious like Junyoung is trying to make her to be. She is just simply someone who made a mistake. And that could have happened to anyone.
