If I remember correctly, he goes to the therapist personally and gets the meds himself, not through his manager. So unless... the therapist was in on something sketchy too.... 💀💀 I seriously hope not. La Ik's got enough sketchy people by his side already 😫

To be honest, I don't see how La Ik is acting childish or like a man-child. That guy's traumatized his entire life. Sh*tty childhood, sh*tty parents, sh*tty CEO milking him dry since childhood, and his awful mother is doing the same. Now as a grownup he's even being haunted by sasaengs on top of his traumas? Put yourself in his shoes, and see if you're able to hold on for so long just like La Ik.

La Ik isn't some perfect ML. If you're looking for that, then perhaps this drama might not be for you. La Ik is so messed up mentally and emotionally. But I honestly think he's been holding himself up quite well. He could've turned out a worse person, but look at how he's been trying to look out for his members and made sure they all had a contract with the agency. I think he turned out to be quite an okay person. Sure, his words cut deep, but so were Jae Hee's. They were all young and emotional and filled with so much rage. Not to mention, La Ik was already dealing with so much emotionally. If I were him, I'd be losing my temper at the slightest things all the time too.

I also understand where La Ik's coming from upon finding out about Se Na's secret, especially after those haunting experiences with sasaengs. Just search horrifying stories about idol sasaengs and La Ik's fear will make complete sense. I hated how much he let those two girls walk free, but hearing his reason make me wanna curse so badly because F*CK it's so real. What the h*ck was he supposed to do? (But I really wish those two crazy girls will be punished properly. NO REDEMPTION FOR THEM PLEASE. PUT THEM IN JAIL. They've crossed the line AGAIN and AGAIN. Write-nim, please don't give me that redemption crap for them and make them loyal fans of La Ik in the end 🤮🤮🤮)

Was he wrong for kinda snooping around? Yea, but let's be honest, everyone here has done that before. I'm not justifying his actions, but I also don't think it's that serious to the point I can stand on moral high ground and criticize him. I can look past what he did in Ep6 because he was just genuinely curious and meant no harm. He didn't mean to snoop.

I also don't blame Se Na for keeping it from him though. If she didn't keep it a secret, he definitely wouldn't have let her help him. She also wouldn't have been able to put everything away, draw the line, and face him just as lawyer and client and do her job with a clear head. But for La Ik, does it suck being lied to after he's built so much trust with her? Yes, big time. And his reaction is completely understandable. It must have been terrifying finding out. He must've been thinking if she approached him with ulterior motives like those sasaengs.

I really love how Se Na has kept everything so professional with La Ik and his case. She's really doing her job damn well here. I know things will definitely clear up between them, but I just hope it wouldn't be dragged out. I've really liked the pace so far. It's keep things interesting but also not rushing things. This drama involves a lot of emotional issues from all the characters from La Ik to Se Na and even Hye Ju. It's the type that looks bright on the outside but it actually super dark and sometimes quite depressing, but once in a while there will be a warm ray of sunshine that puts a smile on your face amongst the chaos. I'm actually enjoying this drama so much more than I expected. Can't wait for Ep7!!

I just really want him to find happiness in what he loves to do again, without all the drama. I like the idea of him becoming an indie singer and Se Na could still be a fan and go support him at his gigs regardless if they do end up together or not.

I think one thing we need to keep in mind is that, just because someone who looked unhappy and depressed all the time suddenly brightens up and looks happier, it doesn't mean they are no longer depressed. I feel that it's also the scary part about being depressed because you think you're so much better now, but one small thing could trigger you and you can collapse. Or people think you're alright now and they no longer have to be worried. So just because La Ik seems "fine" now, it doesn't really mean he is. I think the ending of Ep6 shows a bit of that and that's something that triggered La Ik again.

Same! I watched Ep5 and 6 back to back and now it's such a long wait for Ep7...

I feel the same about Hye Ju. But I don't think she's the killer. I think she's just fixated on being La Ik's savior because she keeps looking down on him, and she feels superior when La Ik depends on her. That's why even when he's told her again and again now that he no longer needs her, she refuses to believe it and sticks to her narrative. She just can't accept that he doesn't need her anymore.

Though...there's also a possibility where she did all this putting La Ik in this mess so that he'd have no one else but to turn to her. But if that were the case, I feel like there's too many flaw in her plan, so I think it's unlikely.

I feel that Jae Hee might be the next victim and they'll stage it as a su*cide. My biggest suspect now is CEO Geum, tbh. I can't trust that guy. And the manager could also be an accomplice, but I feel that he actually cares for the members that's why he warned Jae Hee to keep quiet. It's just that he's more loyal to the CEO. Or, the CEO is blackmailing him so he's got no choice but to do whatever he says.

I feel that U-seong might have found out something shady about CEO Geum, that's why he tried to sign with another agency to keep the members away from CEO Geum. And in the end, the CEO tried to keep him quiet for good. I think that's why the CEO didn't want Jae Hee to tell the prosecutor about someone else signing with another agency because it'll trace back to him somehow. And now that Jae Hee refuses to be a good dog and keep his mouth shut, he's likely the next victim.

And I agree with you on Se Na too. She's so tough mentally. But that's also coz she's had to be tough on her own to survive those years. I just wanna give her a big hug. And I know she's gonna kick that prosecutor's a$$. Don't mess with Se Na.

I'm so ready for this crazy plot. 😆

I still can't figure out who's likely the killer. If it was a premeditated murder, there must be motive. Why would someone want to kill U Seong? And if the killer was actually after Ra Ik, how could they mistake their target? Especially with such a precise attack? Or... is someone actually out to kill ALL the members and U Seong was the first one?

My suspects at first were Yeong Bin or the manager. But what can the manager get out of it? Why go through so much trouble just to kill U Seong? It didn't make sense. Jae Hee and Yeong Bin are both hiding something too, for sure. But at this point, I can't think of their motives either. If it's purely because of hate and jealousy, they could've chosen easier ways to screw Ra Ik or U Seong over by using the press.

I also thought maybe U Seong had a secret lover or something, coz that would explain no signs of intrusion. But I feel like this could involve something bigger, which might tie to the shaddy prosecutor family. Maybe U Seong got entangled in some messy business with them.

I'm with you. I got into kpop more than 10 years ago, but also thought this whole "idol can't date" thing was ridiculous. Glad the idols I've stanned love slapping sense into fans 😂😂
I also don't understand why these celebs gotta apologize to fans when they're caught dating, or already married or with a child. That's their private lives. It has nothing to do with them being a singer or actor. They show up, do their job and entertain their fans, they clock out. That's it.

Fans like to act as if they're entitled to every detail about their so-called idols as if the fans own them, claiming they spent time and money on idols so the idols owe it to them? That's just bull. Idols provide entertainment—music, films, etc. That's the service fans paid for. Nothing more. It's not like idols didn't work their a$$es off to make fans happy. That's more than enough already.

Fans really need a reality check and know where to draw the line. If fans want to dedicate all their love to their idols, that's a personal choice of the fan, but idols don't have to do the same. They've got their own lives too. It's not like all the idols' fans are gonna stay single forever either. So how's that fair?

This was so good!!!!! This is one of those films where the slowburn really works for me. There wasn't a single boring or draggy moment. Even each moment of silence was filled with emotion. I love that Suzuki and Sugiki both communicate mostly through body languages and subtle expressions when it came to their romance. Some may not like it, but I actually find it more interesting that they didn't try to label their relationship. Are they together? Were they together? Will they be together? I have no idea. But I do know they LOVE each other and that's enough for me. Coz good lord, the CHEMISTRY!!!!!!!

I also really love our two beautiful ladies Aki and Fusako. I love their little friendship. So happy to see them getting to dance together as well!!! ❤

I didn't read the manga at all and had no idea what to expect, but I love dance and watching this was honestly so fun. Not sure if turning this into a drama would end up making it draggy, or a sequel would be unnecessary. If we do end up getting either with the same cast, I'm still definitely checking it out. But if we don't, I honestly love it as it is already. And this definitely deserves a rewatch!

It just felt like the time the news got out seemed perfectly timed and would be in TENBLANK's favor instead of causing them damage. Having it released right at that moment would've made fans support them even more. That's why it occurred to me that mayyybe it could've been Kai.

I came for the music and characters, and they definitely didn't disappoint. Akane's drumming and smile completely blew me away and got me smiling so much right from the start. And Keita Machida with long hair playing the drums??!?!!? *SQUEAL*
Honestly, when he easily carried Naoki out of the room in that one episode, I thought it was a BL for a second and had to double-check the tags coz I remembered it wasn't. Lolol

But OMG the music!!!! T^T I absolutely love the music in this series.

I thought the same! But judging from the way Kai looked at Ichidai, I have a feeling it was Kai who spread the news.

I absolutely love Ji Chang Wook doing action. He's just so good at it. Not many actors can do it like he does. I totally get why he'd always say he wouldn't do action again, because it can seriously be so exhausting. But I'm also glad he loves doing action too and would probably still do it for a while if his body allows. Lol. Hopefully he gets some time in between to recover and rest though.

You're right about her! I love how you described it. She really gives off that kinda vibe. I think I've seen a comment saying she's too stiff or her speeches sound monotone, but for me that's also what makes her so believable. It's more like she's very composed and calm, so obviously she wouldn't sound jolly and bubbly. I think she's my favorite female general so far.

And i still haven't started Shadow Love! Lol. I'm actually on a vacation and thought I'd have some time to watch, but i didn't 😆 Still gonna give it a try though coz I like the cast too.

I agree with giving her a purpose to live on and to help her pull herself together again, but I'm skeptical about her being in charge too coz like you said, she's made all the wrong decisions.

I can understand her putting herself in danger thinking her brother might be in danger if she didn't, but what I couldn't stand was the way she thought of Xia Jingyan and Xia Jingshi. It's just completely messed up.

True! I just hope after the first couple of episodes, it gets easier to follow since we'll know more about the characters and their intentions as well.

Many people were saying she'd learn her lesson so I got hopeful. But I got to the last episode and was still waiting for the part where she did learn 🙃

Am on ep2 and I find the dialogues in Mandarin even more difficult to understand than the first!! LOL why do they keep speaking in riddles 😭😭😭 I watch dramas to relax but watching this, my brain's gotta work so much haha
