they ended it respectfully and the romance kept it very subtle. it was a really fun watch! last ep dance sequence was good. there really isn't much in the storyline for other characters the teachers. it's just a fun watch.

no hate on Ryan Gold.

yup consent wasn't a thing there, she was very clear when she said let go. and the male lead had to intervene for the 2nd male lead to let go. The male lead himself says the 2nd male lead isn't very mature despite being a vice president.

I have seen many live triangles. The relationship portrayal in this drama is like a love square. And that square has too many diagonals. This drama has more mature characters. It is funny it is not cringe, the jokes are laughable. Even the competitve game in the workshop was believable. I'm liking the storyline, the romance angle, I mean it's all well written! It's giving Love Scout vibes but more on the relationship and romance and love squares like I said.

This chaebol isn't ruthless, he's a pookie!

Watching this drama only to see the ML with his flippers walking like a duck! :P

watching this for the villains. ep1 - off to a good start, flower fight (epic), FL saying she’s not gonna be a housewife and not gonna marry and do chores (slay, you go queen), story and situations on point, overall I find it great. Another drama joining the queue.

Also, one thing I noticed, all the side and main characters are all coming in different dramas as cameo appearances. Maybe they filmed in the same studio. It’s nice to see same faces in many dramas. can’t wait for more!

yes true!

yup I’m hooked! so curious as to what her secret is. And the person hugging her in the evidence image looks like the vice president. But that could just be a unfriendly hug misunderstood. We can see he’s violent and pulls her collar for outing that James guy. I mean she also mentions she was attacked with a golf club on the head and that she had surgery and a scar. So like looks like she’s been through some trauma. That will probably bring the ML and FL closer.

ep4 - the kiss in ‘Dynamite Kiss’ was nothing. This was the actual dynamite kiss. Greenest Flag - Noh Ki Jun. I see some criticism for Korean drama being very forward like Hollywood. No in fact it is still very subtle, respectful and the male lead is not judgy, he actually likes her, he can see the attraction and they are drawn to each other. But he can’t do the very thing he is fighting against. This is going to be interesting.

I’m adding to this I don’t find anything wrong with posing for an art class, it is the personal preference of the FL due to whatever reason. What I like about this is how maturely the Male Lead approaches it. It’s not lewd but mature and respectful. I am yet to watch the 4th episode, but I really feel men written by women don’t disappoint. He’s shocked by what she is doing. That’s it. Everyone is seriously attacking every drama this month!!

the writing is perceptive and the acting is good! women who write men are very thoughtful. that’s why this drama stood out for me. to be honest it’s fast paced and engaging. I’m hooked! I wanna know, it’s kinda funny and serious at the same time. it’s interesting.

Adding to this also there is a lot of criticism about Byeon woo seok’s acting. please watch ep 8 people. I literally cried. Every actor has a speciality, I think the casting is perfection, no one could have portrayed this role better than the actor. He has to have an aura to portray the Grand Prince. In fact every role he has played when I look back he has done a great job. A lot of people may feel that the pace is slow. It a royal drama and it will be short paced. Take all royal dramas from the past they were all slow and in fact had many episodes. So like just enjoy the drama.

oh you never know!

@Otter-E - I get it what you are saying. Let's see how the drama navigates the story. Many more episodes left to see. :)

I watched the scene where they fight with flowers and leaves, and this moment when he saves her from the car whizzing past he actually stared at the car like he's angry and he's really trying to protect her even though he doesn't know her or maybe acquainted with her but doesn't like her. But that moment he stares at the driver for not watching the road. Like this is the kind of emotion that really pulls us to watch dramas for men of such standards. I'm so excited for this one and can't wait for it to start!

Having a crush is different. Writing adult content BL Romance novels about full grown men who are your teachers is different, getting caught writing this and being put in a position where you are at the mercy of a teacher is not something that can be equated to a crush. Clearly there is no line in this drama. But nevertheless, we will still enjoy the drama because every drama has something or the other like this.

Even so this puts Eui ju in a very compromising position, she writes BL and the teacher wants to be the protagonist in her novel. This seems very unlikely. It's not a big deal until it crosses the line. You are right it doesn't show the teacher and her having feelings but the drama is inching towards that. That's why I hope they change the narrative and end it respectfully. Nothing against the drama, it is funny and all. Imaginative perspective is required and all logic must be lost to like this drama.

There is a cetain eroticism to it, they dont show them kissing I agree, but this is still adult content that she is writing. I have nothing against the drama, in fact I am waiting for the next episodes. It's good. I just hope they are respectful, because there is a scene where they are talking about how she writes about BL when she could write about a man and a woman. There is a scene where they make fun of her looks, even though they make it seem funny, it just doesn't sit right. It's a sensitive topic they must be respectful.

This drama is good from an imaginary perspective. Also, it is inching towards grooming which isn’t good. If they somehow show the girl liking the teacher then it’s definitely inching towards grooming and that’s just weird, I hope they change that narrative somehow. And if really a teacher catches a student writing BL (a big supporter here nothing against BL) it would definitely be different in reality. No student in school would be able to write adult BL comics and they will be dealt with seriously. Somehow it’s hard to get past all this and say the drama is good. But ignoring all of that it’s okay-ish. I hope they are respectful and end it on a good note.
