oh my god, it's so frustrating watching Miyata be so deeply insecure. but also, it kind of makes sense following season 1. he's never really gotten over the wound of feeling like he was beneath his senpai. and them being together isn't a magic cure. he still remembers that he was all in and senpai was making bets as though everything was just a big joke. unfortunately senpai is so nonchalant about the whole thing, so Miyata might just have to learn how to shoulder this insecurity on his own.

If this doesn't come to Gaga, I'm going to cry.

Oh my god, that emotional scene in episode 6 blew me away. Totally speechless.

You can see how much trust the actors built with each other to be able to go there and hold that space together for as long as they did. That was some incredible acting - it'll stay with me even after this series is over.

I mean, my first ever BL was Addicted, and I read the novel, so it was baptism by fire 😅🤣 I don't even mind noncon scenes, this one just took me by surprise cause it's right at the start of the show

Spring is a word with more than 1 meaning. I think here it's not the season, but the verb. The blade is drawn quickly and sharply, which implies her revenge is decisive and swift.

ohh fr? yeah my eyes would have never noticed 😅 so when Xu Kai dismounts, that's the only real shot? or even that was a fake horse?

oh, that poor horse. its ribs are way too visible.

sounds like workplace dramas just aren't for you. unfortunately most modern romance dramas involve work as a major plotline, so you're kind of set up to almost always be frustrated with this genre.

After surviving this show, I'm going to be so much more appreciative of all the noble ladies in other shows who treat their maids as family. 😭

ngl, I would buy the "trauma" explanation if it's well executed because it's relatable in real life. I just hope they address it instead of just acting like "well, he was mean but now they're in love" and never addressing it. I dropped Bittersweet Love because it didn't seem like they were going to do that, and from what I hear they never really did...

this is exactly how I feel as well, but I'm waiting until the show is over before I form an opinion. I'll be really disappointed if the writers don't give a solid reason for why Mr Ji acts so cold. There are so many things he can do to make Shen Mo feel more secure, even if he's not ready to tell him the truth about their past. But not only does he do nothing - he intentionally fosters misunderstandings when things can be cleared up with a single conversation.

I get that his goal is to try and make Shen Mo fall in love with him again. Why does that need to happen through cruelty though? That's the question the show needs to answer and what I'll be judging it on.

Lordddd, I prayed on their downfall for so long. Satisfying ending, I only wish it could have happened sooner.

literally. cause I just watched The Missing Piece today and why is there sexual assault in the first 15 minutes...

Yeah, no, I don't believe in retribution as a moral compass. You do you though!

hmmm... no, I don't agree that they both deserve to be in this unhealthy dynamic. I think everyone deserves a healthy relationship - it's what humans are wired for. But they can't give it to each other, so it's best if they split up and everyone works on themselves.

this is my first time in a drama actively wishing that the MC broke up. I usually root for all relationships, even the super red flaggy ones but I just can't this time. Flora, girl, get outtttt

oh no, I totally agree. the NC scenes were super uncomfortable for me as well. I ended up fast forwarding them cause it was honestly painful to see. the actor who plays Ainosuke always looked very uncomfortable to me.

Exactly! I haven't read the novel so I've been waiting to see the toxic relationship she described, and I'm confused because we're past the halfway point and they haven't even had the breakup yet. I saw some comments describing this as a second chance romance, but I don't think that's accurate. It looks like it'll be a standard "they love each other but miscommunication makes them separate and get back together in the third act".

I'm really curious to see where the writers take the story because so far I feel a bit misled by the premise.

it's already on an express package. express users are always 1 episode ahead. so it's safe to assume the last 4 or so episodes will also be on express

oh wow, this is going to be huge. those first 2 episodes were so good
