Julia

seriously. the editing makes it feel like the production team thought everyone would love this guy. it's baffling.

also i can't just be mad at hyunjin because at the end of the day that guy is her BOSS. whether or not he views this that way, her employment depends on keeping him happy, especially during the time when she was still a temporary worker. he is abusing his power, knowingly or not, and it's creepy. i don't care that they knew each other in college. he is now her direct boss. leave her alone.

at this point i just want the four of them to be in the same place and for wooju to completely ignore the SML and only focus on his beloved uncle taehyung. maybe then this dude will finally understand that he's the third wheel here

I also forgot to add that I distinctly remember that at the beginning the drama put an emphasis on the fact that the stab wound was so precise, and now they're telling us the murdered slipped and fell? And the knife just happened to land perfectly? Come on...

Looking at the comments here, it seems like I'm in the minority but I did not enjoy this reveal lol Hyejoo was such an obvious choice. Until the very end I was hoping for someone (literally anyone) else. And the motive being "she's a crazy ex-girlfriend 🤪" is just so unimaginative. The actress was great, though. Also Wooseong randomly being a person that "has a habit of recording everything"? How convenient.

the yellow umbrella strikes again

Quite a disappointing watch. Basically, if you're not going to deliver a "passionate" romance as promised, at least give us a "passionate" plot. This show unfortunately had neither. Any interesting plot point that could have been explored (the whole thing with Luzhou's mum, Luzhou going abroad, for example) was dropped immediately, resolving any tension and taking away the intrigue with it. The FL, at least in my opinion, is not a bad actress and she actually had a nice chemistry with Wang Anyu, especially in more comedic parts. This chemistry, however, would evaporate instantly in romantic scenes and that is probably the biggest issue here. This is supposed to be a romance drama, after all, and no amount of good acting is going to change the fact that they just couldn't deliver on the promise of "passionate love", despite Wang Anyu trying sooo hard. The second lead couple was actually more fun to watch ngl
