considering how the mother reacted to her ex's text, even if the children miss their father they had/have no way of saying so. cause then they taking his side and betraying her - it's a very tough position to be. as if his abandonment wasn't enough for them to live with, they had/have to deal with their mother's "baggage" as well. little wonder Si Won reacted the way he did, when he saw his father - sad really. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Si Yeong already stalking Yun Jeong online ironic that here cause of her guilt-tripping her brother, he went to apologize with bread and got Yun Jeong to notice him **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************don't remember Da Un having bad vision in the webtoon - guess they changed it cause he was more jaded personality wise in the webtoon. and maybe they had enough to deal with here, that they decided his treating Si Won coldly was not cause of some shady reason, but a misunderstanding. fine as their 'ship' has taken off to a good start - hard not to enjoy how they r developing (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) very organically

forgot all about Yun Jeong and the crush Si Yeong develops for her - that was funny and sweet considering she was crushing on Si Won, who turns her down as it was too late and by the time she confessed to him, he had already started developing feelings for Da Un... but remembering how Si Yeong was fixated on her - hilarious in a misguided way of a teen trying to woo the person she had a crush on ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - Si Won got color just on his shoulder he really need to bathed his top half? like i get THAT Body (⓿_⓿) FIRE! but still... talk a reach

so was wrong or rather the description is wrong as the "trauma" started cause of a couple of neighborhood kids, not the same impact (as in the webtoon) but here we also got the parents divorce and trying to be perfect for the mother, so she wouldn't suffer - weird logic that only a kid will come too... ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this ep was much better at showing what was going on emotions wise with both character's, even though u don't really hear what is going on with Da Un. but u know there is more then meets the eye - and that drunken break-down was needed not only to get the mains closer. but to break the ice that had formed in an instant between them. idk if Da Un is gonna follow suite of his webtoon counterpart, who pursued Si Won no matter how much he tried to push him away - that was fun and funny to read so would like some lighthearted moments in this, as thus far it's a bit on the "heavy" side

another adaptation of a webtoon that i really enjoyed/liked "Who Can Define Popularity?" and here straight off the bat, we got backstory change, where the sibling is the one that caused a major hang-up in the MC (know how badly sibling rivalry can get - let alone how vicious u can turn). and yet don't like this change where the younger sibling is the "bad-guy". get her being angsty and hormonal, but so mean she and her mother some how made Si Won so insecure he fixated on his looks?!? seems just sad to me. (yeah the webtoon plot wasn't any better, if anything it was more traumatizing being insulted by the girl u have crush on when ur that young, and then turn into a laughing stock and being ridiculed by everyone cause of her) but i rather that then this ***********************************************************************************************************************************other then that i kinda don't get / couldn't read the looks exchanged between the mains - i know (cause of the webtoon) that it's cause Da Un so good looking, it's shaken Si Won as he fears not being in the No# stop. but a bit hard to read, hope this gets better (acting wise) cause sorry everything is kinda off IMHO

cute conclusion - glad Ji Hye got her moment to confess and get rejected. everyone needs closure. the solution between the mains is interesting (as the web novel has yet to get to this point, am guessing it maybe a spoiler, unless that's concluded differently). but better then one giving-up on an opportunity of a life time, or having a LDR (which isn't that bad a thing - just seen too many BL's that use studying abroad as their plot-twist and getting bored of the 'drama' that comes from that). ********all in all a great adaptation (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) good job all ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

talk about smoking up the screen that kiss was HOT!!!, Jae Young and Sang Woo got chemistry that's for sure. also appreciated Jae Young taking the initiative to go inform Ji Hye she 'barking up the wrong tree' / or doesn't stand a chance. which is kinda ironic, considering how everything ended. but at least it was realistic enough where when ur heart is involved, things like u've been planning on studying abroad, doesn't factor into the decision of, if u should or shouldn't start something

how ironic, would be loving this more if i didn't have a comparison - i can't stop seeing the novel and sometimes i don't mind this not following suite, but other times - this really bugging me. not that this is bad - but it is what it is... and if i didn't love that, maybe i wouldn't mind/notice... ******************************************************************************************************liked Jae Young butting heads with Ji Hye, that was funny and this is the thing with the live version, the web-novel wayyy funnier. here it's cute and fun, maybe there some funny moments. but this not comparable to the novel - which is a shame cause i'm missing how witty both the leads r, that and Sang Woo's bleedin cap 😫

feel really bad for Ji Hye cause here he is ignorantly misleading her (in the Mahwah she was doing it to herself, so u couldn't blame Sang Woo - the fact that he can't read social cues doesn't excuse him of not reading her interest in him), and as much as i'm enjoying this, it's really bugging me that Sang Woo has stopped wearing his baseball cap that's a part of him - like batman without his mask and cape ***********************************************************************************************************oh well....

will start off with an apology to the Professor, he didn't turn out to be shady, and was kinda normal in this ep, but still throughout this he was totally suspect, as i wasn't the only one pointing out "he weird...", guess it was a mislead and it worked ******************************************************************************************************************************************also liked how the scene/rejection between Ji Woo and Yu Na went, it was mature and sweet and both reacted as friends would - well as healthy people that didn't get their ego involved. but i guess it's also cause they weren't emotional invested - they liked the other and though they would be a fitting partner, but they weren't blindly infatuated. otherwise that scene couldn't have turned out that "grown-up" where they were capable of remaining friends afterwards - good on them. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - really wish Min Jae (Ro A and Nam Jun's other roommate) got more scenes, when u saw him, he was fun and funny - wish he had more (not in him being paired with Nam Jun, dude was too abusive towards him) but just wanted more scenes with him. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Ro A on the other hand WTF is the only think that came to mind - why?!? but this is down to the usual K-BL writes trying to add drama at the end of a series, while also rushing to wrap it up, and then we get the predictable plot-line we usually get at the end of K-BL's. but it was dealt with in a flash so cute BL all in all

a few ep's back mentioned the part where Jae Young finally sees Sang Woo without his cap, was good to get that scene in the BL. just in the web Novel Jae Young was already out (or his friends knew he dated men) so Yu Na trying to set him up with girls is throwing me for a loop. but other then that, this perfectly following the web novel so much so, that i'm thinking of rereading what has been updated to date (thankfully that hasn't completed) but this really Really good. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the only glitch is Sang Woo suddenly not wearing his cap after the scene in the library - why?!? that thing glued to his head throughout the web-novel. that weird to me

this is so good (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) i really have nothing to say - all i want is to click on the next ep. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - idk how or why anyone would keep employing a "mentor" like that Quickst bully... he abusive, not only an exploiter, not one student complaint about him?!? mindboggling he still employed

in the web novel Jae Young points out how Sang Woo's baseball cap hides how good looking he is - how ironic that, that is actually the case in the live version. though he looked cute in the previous ep, but couldn't really judge his looks, and in this ep without the cap, Sang Woo actually looks so adorable / good looking loved how it took me to the Mahwah... the similarities r really doing my heart good ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************same with Ryu Ji Hye, she as sweet and loveable as her drawn counterpart - pity her 'ship' will never sail - but other then that this fun, like the Mahwah come to life (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

another BL i've been putting off cause i LOVE the Web novel so much, that if the live version falls short it would seriously bum me out - so put if off so much forgot about it... but another BL (also adapted from a Mahwah) popped-up on my tube feed, and as finished binge on that, and this was among the recommendation's (cause it was similar). *************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************finished the 1st ep i'm stoked as this was GOOD! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************dude playing Jae Young is a beautiful, as his drawn counterpart and loved that he was true to character, same with Sang Woo a hard character to portray IMHO but so far great job by all - heck even Yu Na (who visually might not be a carbon-copy of the drawn version) but personality wise she got it down. totally enjoyed this ep and can't wait for more ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - really wish Jae Young kept the lip ring - that was smoking hot! (but i guess it wasn't comfortable - pity)

everything was planning to say got pushed to the side, the sec i saw the name of the restaurant/bar Yong Hee and Ji Ah were in, Slag - really?!? o(≧∀≦)o idk if that means something in Korean, but in English it aint such a cute word ************************btw they totally make a great couple, even though in the Mahwah they didn't go that route, but cute twist all the same *************************************************************************************************************************************************the situation with the mother was wrapped up in a blink, and in a round about way this is how it got solved in the Mahwah just add more time and substance for everyone to get to this part. so felt rushed and a bit "off". also get a lot getting edited out cause this a really long Mahwah, so not everything is gonna be compressed into 160min's (+-) but then why bring up the father and grandfather, when they not even a factor in this? should've left it the mother worrying her son forced a quite, submissive Hae Bom into something he did want. we even got that forced almost kiss scene, so the scene was set-up idk that part was miss handled IMHO. ***********************************************************************************************************************but other then that, this was a fun enjoyable watch. the mains did a great job conveying a very natural development to their relationship from where they started - it was a fun calming watch. also liked that here it didn't take Hae Bom ages to take the 1st step at showing Tae Sung he cared as much for him (the plus in this being short) and am happy by what i got, mostly thankful the ending wasn't a rush job (ok if u ignore the mother's speedy approval). *********************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************also read comments that it's a pity this aint as steamy as the Mahwah, personally i'm grateful it isn't. cause what didn't like in the Mahwah was all the sex scenes. it started off great, hot, steamy, titillating but after a while whole chapters of groaning and moaning got tedious and boring. just skipped over whole chapters. so this PG version was wholesome and heartwarming without being too cliché (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

forgot that in the Uni period, we got more morons to deal with like the one that offered to date Tae Sung even though he dating someone else, or that annoying senior that was jealous of Tae Sung's good looks and got butthurt that same disgusting chick was making cow-eyes at him. but that aside, like the chemistry between the mains, like that even though Hae Bom started out the quite one that needed taking care off, flipped and is the one who can come to Tae Sung's aid - when needed. they cute and comfortable together
