OMG Episode 8 was something else š What kind of plot twist was that? So the ML is An Su Huiās son? Then why…
WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY TRAUMA BOY IS THAT BITCHāS SON???? ššš Like excuse me??? After EVERYTHING this man went through, THIS is where weāre going??? š I was already feeling so bad for him and now I have to process THAT too???
And YESSS, the first parts of your comment!!! I was literally thinking the same thing while watching š The second leads suddenly made SO much sense after episode 8. And the foster mother?? Sheās his real mother in every way that actually matters, Iām sorry šš¤
Also the third couple!!! šš„ I didnāt expect to be this invested in ALL THREE couples, but here we are. This drama really said nobody is getting a peaceful love story šš
Anyway, Iām still stuck on āMY TRAUMA BOY IS HER SONā because WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL ššš
Okay, I have to talk about episodes 7 and 8 because WOW š For episode 7, I was reading everyoneās comments and seeing so many different opinions from mine that I genuinely started thinking, āMaybe itās just me?ā š So I just dropped it and moved on.
Then I started episode 8, and for the first 20 minutes I was like⦠WHY ARE WE SO OBSESSED WITH THE SECOND LEADS?? š If we actually counted their screen time, theyād probably win at this point. I was seriously wondering if we were losing the main plot or if the drama was trying to make me drop it. BUT NAH. I WAS WRONG. š
Because after that, EVERYTHING clicked. I finally understood exactly why the second leads matter so much and why theyāve been getting this much focus. They are deeply connected to the male lead and everything he went through. And suddenly all those scenes had a purpose. And Iām gonna say this again because Iāve BEEN saying it: Soobin is not your typical rich-boy K-drama male lead. He is not the ācold, rich, handsome guy who just needs the FLās loveā type. He is a TRAUMA BOY. š
After episode 8, I was literally sitting there like, āDAMN⦠YOU SURVIVED ALL THAT???ā Because the amount of trauma this man carries?? I wouldāve become a murderer after five minutes with that father. šš¤ I donāt even want to name that man because he genuinely makes my blood boil.
And honestly, I loved every detail of those scenes. I loved seeing how the second leads were involved in his past and how much their relationships shaped him. It made me understand him even more, and suddenly I wasnāt questioning the screen time anymore.
And I REALLY loved how episode 8 brought us back to the feeling of the earlier episodes by showing the three couples again. It felt like everything was connecting, and I was just sitting there enjoying every second.
So yeah⦠episode 8 humbled me. š I thought the second leads were taking over the story, but now I understand why they matter so much.
I LOVE THIS DRAMA. Iām not even trying to hate ā Iām just invested enough to question everything and then happily admit when the drama proves me wrong. šā¤ļø
Iāve watched all the episodes that have aired so far, and honestly⦠I donāt know how long Iām going to survive this š. This drama has 50 episodes, and apparently itās going to end in 2027?? Iām already questioning my life choices š.
But so far, Iām really enjoying it. I like the plot, I like the cast, and the acting is really good. The male lead especially is SO good, and I loved him even more in the past scenes. And the female lead⦠I know some people think sheās too kind or that she does too much for everyone, but did you guys actually listen to what she said? She didnāt want this life. She wanted to have her own life and do her own things, but nobody stepped up, so she had to. Sheās the oldest daughter in a family where basically everyone failed her. Thatās the downside of being the oldest daughter in this kind of family you end up becoming responsible for everyone, especially the younger siblings. Some people might think her sacrifice is too much, but honestly, there are people in real life who end up living exactly like this.
And when she mentioned wanting money from his family??? GIRL š I was actually happy. Someone is finally doing what everyone else refused to do. She literally warned him before they even started dating: Iām miserable, so being with me will probably make your life miserable too. And this man basically said, okay, letās go anyway š. Now he actually got hurt because of that situation, so sheās like, āYou go your way, Iāll go mine.ā Girl⦠I understand you, but PLEASE š.
Also, about the theory that her son might actually be her sisterās son⦠I have two thoughts.
First, maybe it really is true. And if it is, I can already see people saying, āIs she dumb? Why would she raise her nephew just because heās her sisterās son?ā But Iām like⦠HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING HER? š Sheās kind, she loves her family, and sacrificing herself for them is literally who she is.
But my second thought is that the sister isnāt THAT dumb. She knows herself and knows whatās best for her, so I donāt really see her making that kind of mistake. So for now, Iām keeping both theories open š.
AND THE TWINS!!! šš Theyāre so cute. I genuinely thought the brother would be full of himself because heās popular, but heās actually so caring toward his sister. I love their relationship. Theyāre adorable.
Now, letās talk about my ranking of people who make me want to throw my laptop. 1. THE DAD. Oh my GOD. Every time this man appears on my screen, I want to punch him š. Iām not even exaggerating. I almost threw my laptop. He is SO annoying. Donāt even get me started.
2. THE SISTER. I actually tried to understand her because she has seen her sister sacrifice everything for this family. She KNOWS this family isnāt going to properly appreciate her or pay her back for everything sheās done. So I understand why she thinks the way she does. BUT GIRL⦠YOU STILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER š.āWash my clothes.ā āDo this.ā āDo that.ā Like HELLO??? You KNOW what your sister is giving up for you and you still keep taking from her. And then in the last episode, she knew what kind of job her brother was doing and basically acted like she didnāt care. At least SHOW HIM that you care. He doesnāt necessarily need some huge speech he just wants to feel like his sister actually cares about him. So show him!!! š 3. THE MOM. The ml mom, specifically. I wasnāt even planning to put her on my list because we havenāt seen that much from her yet, BUT THAT SCENE where she was complaining about the female lead in that manās house??? Oh God. šI had NO WORDS. I was genuinely speechless.
As for the sister and the whole recording situation I feel like weāre going to understand more about her decisions later because it seems like she had already made certain choices or was getting close to making them before. And for those saying she shouldnāt have left the recording where he could hear it⦠honestly, I donāt blame her THAT much. If you think about what the male lead is doing too, I can understand why she acted that way.
Anyway, thatās basically my overall opinion so far. I genuinely donāt know if Iām going to make it all the way to Episode 50 š because this drama is LONG, but somehow Iām really enjoying it. I donāt even know why. Thereās just something about it that keeps me watching.
And for everyone constantly hating on it because of the format guys š this is literally a typical Korean weekend drama. It has 50 episodes because thatās the format. If it were shorter episodes airing MondayāFriday, it would be a different type of daily drama. So obviously itās going to feel different from a 12ā16 episode K-drama. Anyway, so far? Iām enjoying it. Letās see if I still have the same energy by Episode 50. š
I didn't watch the ep 7 yet. But can I ask you question. Do you like Soobin's character? Idk why everyone critics…
I think people criticize him because heās not the typical K-drama character weāve seen all these years. Weāre so used to male leads who just take care of the female lead and do the bare minimum, but Soobin is different. He had his own trauma, and when he saw her light, he used it as a way to break out of his miserable life. And now heās trying to give that same light and life back to her because he knows how much it helped him. I think thatās what makes him different, and maybe thatās why people donāt like him.
I think the ghost was like delivering the massage even tho she didn't ask him so instead of saying hey go and save her she's in danger it would be nice I guess if it seems like she's the one who's asking for help I guess that's the case
the organization/company structure handles that side of things; her assassin work is embedded within her corporate…
Ahhh okay, that makes much more sense š I was also wondering how Bona is supposed to know that every target is actually guilty. I guess that's one of the things the show hasn't fully explained yet especially how the company verifies the targets and what exactly Bona is told about them before she takes the job. Hopefully they explain how the whole āclientā system works later because I'm curious too š
the organization/company structure handles that side of things; her assassin work is embedded within her corporate…
I think the confusion is because the first guy and the second guy are two different situations. The father in the opening wasn't a normal paid assignmentāBona killed him to save his daughter. The guy in the white shirt, though, was an actual target from Sales Team 3. The company/organization is specifically responsible for selecting and eliminating criminals who escaped proper punishment, so Bona isn't just killing whoever someone pays them to kill. She knows she's working for an organization that targets those kinds of criminals. As for exactly what the white-shirt guy did and why he was chosen, episode 1 doesn't explain that yet, so we're supposed to find that out as the story goes on.
i fell asleep in the middle of this lol so can someone please tell me: So in ep 1, she killed TWO people? First,…
the organization/company structure handles that side of things; her assassin work is embedded within her corporate cover rather than being a freelance cash-in-hand operation so the company collects the money And laundering it then they get it by salary
I just finished this, and... wow. I genuinely don't know how to put into words what I just experienced. For the past 6ā7 weeks, I was completely immersed in this story. Every new episode had me thinking about it long after it ended, and now that it's over, I already miss it.
I went into this without reading the novel, so everything was completely new to me. I've watched a lot of BLs over the years, but this was my first time experiencing a story like this. It challenged my emotions in ways I wasn't expecting, and I found myself getting more and more invested with every episode.I also have to give so much credit to the cast. They absolutely nailed it. I already knew Oli from Boys PlanetāI watched the show while it was airing and was one of the people hoping he would debut. But I honestly never expected him to be this incredible as an actor. The way he portrayed his character, balancing such different emotional sides, felt so natural and convincing. I was genuinely impressed.
And the other lead deserves just as much praise. His performance was phenomenal. The chemistry between them never felt forced; every look, every silence, every emotional scene pulled me in even deeper. They made me believe every moment.
This isn't the kind of drama I'll forget anytime soon. It stayed with me from beginning to end, and I know I'll be thinking about it for a long time. Thank you to everyone who worked on this. Without a doubt, this is one of the most unforgettable BLs I've watched.
I'm genuinely enjoying Dream to You so far (Ep. 5), and I think one of my favorite details is that every couple has their own color, their own vibe, and even their own soundtrack.
Sometimes it honestly feels like I'm watching three different dramasābut in the best way possible. None of the couples feel repetitive. They each have their own chemistry, struggles, and story.
About the main couple: I know some people keep saying they're enemies-to-lovers, but if you pay attention to their past, they actually started as friends before they fell in love. They even agreed to focus on their movie first and continue their relationship afterward. So it wouldn't surprise me if, despite everything that's happened over the years, they eventually find their way back to each other. I'm not saying they're right or wrongājust that their story makes sense to me.
For the second couple, I've seen people say they're "missing something" but I honestly don't think so. She's not just a rich Barbie girl. She knows her worth, hates injustice, and is incredibly sincere and kind. She's also carrying a lot of trauma. He's much bolder because of the life he's lived, and I feel like he'll help her step out of that fear little by little. As for her mother... I don't care what backstory they give her. She'll still be awful to me. Treating your own daughter like that and exposing her to the media when she was just a child is unforgivable.
And the third couple? They're giving comedy, chemistry, maturityāeverything. I know they're not everyone's favorite, but I'm completely invested. She gives off "I know my worth, and I don't need a man." He gives "No woman has ever treated me like this before," and I love watching that dynamic unfold.
Overall, I'm so invested already, even though we're only halfway through. The only thing I'm worried about is the ending, because sometimes the dramas I love the most end up hurting me. š I'm really hoping Dream to You sticks the landing.
And YESSS, the first parts of your comment!!! I was literally thinking the same thing while watching š The second leads suddenly made SO much sense after episode 8. And the foster mother?? Sheās his real mother in every way that actually matters, Iām sorry šš¤
