You said what the ending is. You **spoiled** the ending for those who otherwise wouldn’t have known what it was.

LIVING for this thread right now. Thank you to you and byyourname99 and poetryinmotion <3

Someone actually liked the comment *before* I fixed it though, so that kinda worries me. lol

This should be tagged as a spoiler. lol

"It's going to take me a while to realize that James, the actor who plays Pod, is *not* Louis Thanalin, who played Meen in "Fish Upon the Sky". They look so alike to me."

I felt the same way about him. Glad someone else noticed. haha

And Ja's shoulders! Mercy!

fair

"We can't blame if there are people who are still afraid to be shown or afraid of possible rejection. "

Ok, but he still needs to pick a struggle. He's trying so hard to express he loves TK without actually just expressing it. It's hard to believe that that's just because he's afraid of rejection. I think he just needs to pull himself together more and stop letting everything throw him off so easily. He wasn't just hesitant at first, he's still hesitant now. :/ Most of all the assertive things he's ever done to prove himself to TK went completely unnoticed by TK. TK is just barely starting to realize (on his own) how Shinwoo feels about him and that just seems so....bland and not sad to me. It feels more like TK's taking pity on him rather than actually falling for him. I dunno. Maybe next episode will clear this up for me.

Yeah, those are his flaws. I suppose those are easier for me to tolerate than Shinwoo's back and forth between asserting himself and cowering.

It's largely just a popularity/beauty contest. Yes, they happen. Yes, it's strange. Why it happens? Not sure. lol

Ok. I see Daon as very realistic and one that many people who were closeted in high school can identify with and I see all the chemistry between him and Tae, but ok. I kinda see where you're coming from.

Two chunks missing from this show: Taekyung's full reply after having just read all the texts from Shinwoo and Taekyung's reply after Daon asks if he can still like him. I get that they've probably been purposely cut short so as to not sway the audience too obviously in one way or the other, but those two scenes needed a lot more closure than they got. Cutting them off like that seemed too abrupt.

I'm disappointed at SW lack of determination considering he's all this time confess. He knew Tae liked Daon, so he hesitated. Then he knew Daon liked Tae, so he hesitated. Then Daon hurts Taekyung's feelings and Shinwoo is still super weird, awkward and indirect with Taekyung? Meanwhile telling Daon: Take him or I will? I dunno. I feel like Shinwoo either needs to step up or sit down. I feel for him to an extent, but I don't think he's as determined is the word for him.

Is your dislike of Daon largely predicated on your like of Shinwoo or are you actually insisting that Daon has "ZERO integrity"? Admittedly, I do like Daon, but I haven't seen this much contempt before. It's ep 15 and my opinion of Shinwoo has only gotten worse. So, if there's someone who feels this strongly against Daon, I'm very curious as to how and why? **curious** is the keyword here, not *angry about* haha

Exactly. Shinwoo's a lovely person, but he's dropped the ball so many times and even I at first was like, "Aww it's ok, better luck next time, champ.", but now it's just getting a little pathetic. If this is the type of person Taekyung's gonna end up with, the rationale on Thursday better be good.

Yeah, it's very strange, but it's as entertaining as the rest of the series for me. lol

It's very that. lol

-Taekyung lying straight to Shinwoo's face this episode caught me off guard in a bad way. Taekyung rarely hides his feelings to anyone and seeing as this is one of the closest people to him, I really feel like it's weird that he completely tried to throw off Shinwoo when he asked (in so many words), "So what's up with you Daon lately?"

-"New hair, new me." is Daon's theme this episode this episode. The entire conversation at the bench was like:
Tae: I liked you a lot before, but-
Daon: So, I liked you before and I still like you and I'm pretty sure you still like me, so what are we gonna do about that?
Tae: 👁👄👁

-I like all the characters in this show (aside from Sohee) in different ways, but if I had to pick one I like the least, it'd be Shinwoo. I kinda felt this way before and I couldn't put my finger on why, but now I think I get it. He's just a *little* bit of a coward to me, at this point. Not because he's shy or anxious, but because he's actually not either of those things until it matters. He's able to do everything else to show the world he likes Taekyung except look the only person who that's actually important to in the eyes and tell him directly and with actual words to match his sincerity. Even now, after we know that Tae knows that Shinwoo likes him, where is Shinwoo? Standing across the hall, barely able to wave and say 'hello', but then comes back later tugging at Taekyung's arm with a pitiable stare and an even more pitiable request to leave Daon when he's in the middle of interacting with Daon...AGAIN?? Don't get me wrong, Shinwoo's a good person and good people don't deserve to be heart-broken, but this is disappointing on his part imo.

I can totally see it! They’re both awkward and cold, but Lan Zhan was much better at being more ‘cold’ than awkward. haha

To echo what Nolan said, I think, especially after one aspect of ep 5 in particular, that this is firmly headed toward a sad ending. However, even if that is the case, the tone of this show, while slow, isn't depressing. Definitely not a cry fest each episode like UWMA or something.
