I don’t usually comment on discussion posts but this show made me do so! Heo Namjun’s acting in the confrontation with mundo and in the ending scene with seori was phenomenal!
Can I also just say how thrilling it feels to see a ML who doesn’t look pitiful or baby faced against the villain but instead looks incredibly capable of putting up a fight! Don’t get me wrong I definitely love the baby faced actors as well but I think Heo Namjun fits the role of Cha Segye extremely well!
The last scene had me so anxious thinking we’d go into a breakup era but I guess I didn’t trust segye enough to know he would pull through! Time to go rewatch that episode again until ep 10 comes out.
I absolutely love it. The show is extremely simple. Bullies cannot take what they dish out.
The initial reaction is exactly what the show wanted to send across. The message is in the ministers statements. He is the Messenger for the exact points the movie seeks to address.
The show does mellow down after two episodes but I get the point clearly.
Most of the complaints I see on this platform sound just like the press in the show. Where was everyone when the bullying was happening? All of a sudden everyone has a voice.
Personally I haven’t not laughed like that in a long time.
The biggest thing that the current generation of kids and adults are forgetting is CONSEQUENCES.
This entire episode felt like filler. Nothing really happened and it contained too much of my least favorite trope: bad communication. I know that they are in high school but they are still too old to not be able to just damn talk and express their feelings or what they are thinking. I can’t stand an unnecessary misunderstanding getting dragged out for absolutely no reason. I am still liking this show but I could have did without today’s episode. And by the looks of the preview for next week, they are going to continue to drag out this “poor little sad boy thinks his emo crush is dating an irrelevant girl” plot.
I know this show is going to punch us in the gut soon, but I prefer Diao Qin over Yan Kai for Jun Jia. He is just too sweet and he was the only one in this episode that was saying what I was thinking: just talk to him. And yet Jun Jia didn’t take his advice. I just feel bad for him because he’s falling for a boy that doesn’t even really see him.
After this episode, I will be surprised if these two end up back together. They just fundamentally do not fit on any level. They look at the world in different ways and want different things. It was fairly obvious during the documentary in episode 1, but seeing the BTS of what is really going on, it is so painfully obvious.
This episode was interesting in that it butted up against the mom and her problems that are a part of Japanese culture. The fact that it is so hard for women to come back to work after having a kid, and how their jobs just disappear because they are expected not to come back.
The interplay between the producer and assistant about being insensitive to Itsuki about his job lose was also interesting. Everything is about being gay for the producer, but the assistant, who is a ton more observant than his producer, realizes that it is more about just living their lives.
There are so many small interactions between people that have so much going on under the surface that I have a feeling this is a show that I could watch multiple times and see something new each time.
That trailer did something to my brain because I felt an urge to laugh as soon as I saw the poster and I’m not proud of it 😔-It’s not the actors it’s more my confusion of…everything & the evil laugh flashbacks lol. I think this will be a very interesting watch indeed 😁👍
The trailer is so good! They didn’t include the sensual dancing scene from the pilot but I’m praying it’s in the series because that scene was what caught my attention the most.
This series came out of nowhere and catapulted itself into my absolute top 3 of the year. The OST is gorgeous and since episode one, Rann's devotion has captured my heart.
Next episode looks like a lot. I kept hoping Rann would put the necklace back on, and then when I saw the handwriting on the boquet, oh my god, that sense of impending doom.
I have a feeling that Peem might not have the best ending. And just the emotional dimension of what's happening and going to happen.
I found it interesting how at first, we felt that P'Le was the one abandoning Rann, how her absence destroyed Rann's heart only for it to heal and bloom again once we saw P'Le was back from the dead but this episode (and the OST) actually tell the story from the other POV - of Rann being the one who left, and being the one who came back, the one whose absence was felt enormously. In this case, it makes sense that Rann... would be the one to... die.
Imagine being Rann, she knows that this man holding a gun to her back literally killed her once. It's mind boggling.
The whole shock of the last few minutes juxtaposed against the utterly sweet and romantic happiness we got to see before, my heart, it hurt deliciously.
So...everyone is lying to everyone. Grandfather included. And tbh. I did not even feel that bad for Ritt. I mean.
He said today, "I thought I had genuinely fooled you all that time, Inn." Well. That was my interpretation. And that is 💯 why I hesitated to watch this show any further around episode 3 or 4, I have to look up my comment from that on air. Because at that time, Ritter was very smug about him fooling Inn and that Inn was never going to find out. Edit. It was episode 4
And Ritt, allthough drunk at that time, should have told it before. But, the script had to be scripting.
It is deranged how grandma (fake Feng shui masters to that her grandson could have Ritt in his bed) and Pitcha were also in on the plan. So, Inn was like, ok. I like you very much but I am going to turn your game around Ritt for lying to me.
Allthough I would have expected that a best friend should have told you. So, that is also not a very good move from Pure. A di** move from a best friend. But hey, the script needed it.
Talking about moves. The sexy moves. Maybe the acting is not always on point. See today's crying from Ritt, imo. But good heavens. The NC.
There is on that set a NC instructor who knows what they are teaching. The face of Pitcha. Pure extacy. And Pure's tongue. And after that, them laying on that bed with Pure's leg over Pitcha.
It almost reached the level of the best NC scene from 2026 so far, Wishing upon the shooting Stars
And we already had some good NC scenes in this show. After the fake wedding for example. And when Pure and Pitcha where sitting on that couch. I immediately thought how Pitcha's virginity was taken there. 😊
This was a absolutely delightful show. Older men. Allthough compared to me still very young. 😊 But I did understand their fears. And gradually after 1,5 year. Especially Kuji, could finally consider himself in a relationship. And he cried 😭
I thought this was imo something that was not at all far off form real.life.
I mean. The whole concept of love etc. I do understand Fukami in that way.
But he realized that he wanted Akihiro to smile and got rid of his fear.
I thought for one moment, are they going to switch? Akihiro was scared and Yu used to be a top. But that position seemed as the same way they are used to.
The scenes at the end credit where nice. They seem very happy in Hokkaido.
Yup, definitely dark comedy. Or at least quite a bit of irreverence I adore. I mean, the two children with the staircase and the markers everywhere 😅😆 My word, what is this?! I haven't horrifiedly laughed with my mouth covered since the first five minutes of Born with Luck. We're in for a ride! Though the first five minutes here is no small joke either 😆
But this cast. It's bliss. I love them. I hate them. I hate them so much I love them! This grandma 🤌 I couldn't have asked for a better casting for this grandma... and her chickens.
AND. We even get thieves whose brains aren't big enough for their plans again. I'm in love. This is my romance. Even though I'm kinda Team Soup Shop (I can't remember the name of the place, will have to look it up it looked so tasty).
This was all so much happening, so much chaos. I highly recommend. You even get quality family drama, friends. Half of it in the dark comedy route. Then there's the veteran actors, crime thriller, loan sharks, business infighting, maybe some youth school stuff, adults spiraling into greed, home renovations, past music career references, gated community madness, dumb but lovable thieves, possible organized crime, and future police stuff upcoming. Lots to highlight!
The cinematography that is specially selected for the ML's spiralling POV is a trick I can't get enough of. Yes, please may I have some more?! "I have a hammer!!!
Side note: if some gets a gif of Guo Jing Fei crawling on top of and trying to bite/chomp/gnaw that other dad's forehead, I'd be heavily obliged forever ❤️❤️❤️
Can I also just say how thrilling it feels to see a ML who doesn’t look pitiful or baby faced against the villain but instead looks incredibly capable of putting up a fight!

And Inn who looked horrified when watching the love scenes in Wicked game? Haha.
And the indirect medal kiss ahhhhh it’s so sweet 🥹 they’re just out here heavily flirting with each other and I’m smiling like an idiot.
I want to know what August’s latest note said! Augar and Achi are adorable so I’m looking forward to some cuteness for August.
The orange pillow merch is also cute, sold!
School trip next week, a trip ep is always good value.
