So they were right but also wrong but also right about Yong Er!!!! Aahhhh omg how many worlds are there I wonder. I need more scenes with Dan and Wan Yin~ I miss seeing them eat together and Dan feeding Wan Yin grapes. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Really enjoying this so much! I really like when FLs who have transmigrated are smart and aren't dumbed down once they "fall in love". I like that Wan Yin still thinks logically even when she's realizing she may have fallen for Dan.
The plot's pretty engaging so far, but I can't help worrying if any of the good guys will get killed again. Like the rest of the scholars who are helping them now, or even Bai or Bei Zhou. As we get closer to the mid-point where the mood might shift, moments where they are enjoying their victory or bidding farewell make me anxious because they feel like some foreshadow.
And they keep saying things like only one of them will survive between Wan Yin and Dan. ๐ญ๐ญ Please I don't want sad ending.
I have to give this drama itโs dues, I have absolutely no concrete clue who the killer is. sigh
I really like how it's the finale week next week and we still have no clue who the killer is because it's making me anticipate it even more. I like how they made the leads get together this week so that they've built more trust in each other by next week's episodes to work together against all odds.
The kdramas lately have left me losing interest either by the middle or towards the end right before the last 2 episodes. But this drama has been such a joy to watch! I think they've nailed the romance and mystery parts and kept them balanced well. I'm so sad it's about to end ๐
Omg, I feel like I'm back at square one now after Ep10. CEO Geum willing to share the audio recording is a huge reason why I'm not suspecting him that much anymore. I guess he's just a money-hungry businessman, that's all. But the rest of the people lack motive, that's why I'm at a loss right now. ๐ซ
That earring could possibly be Hye Ju's, coz it could likely be a couple thing she had with La Ik. BUT, Sena said he used to wear it a lot and not longer wore it much recently, which doesn't quite match the timeline since La Ik and Hye Ju broke up quite a few years ago. He wouldn't have still been wearing that after they broke up. Meaning....chances of the other earring belonging to Hye Ju is now lower. That leaves us with the members. It could've been a gift from one of them. It would make more sense if it were from U Seong since La Ik seems to be closer to him within the group. But U Seong is dead so it can't be him. So it's either Jae Hee or Yeong Bin, but it still doesn't make sense to me coz WHY would they wanna kill U Seong? What can they get out of it?
This is the part that leaves me stumped. Because it doesn't look like a murder carried out of impulse. It seemed premeditated, which means there's got to be a motive. Could it be Hye Ju? I feel that it's unlikely. If I remember correctly, she doesn't have beef with U Seong. (Or maybe she does? It would still be stupid to kill U Seong at La Ik's house though.) Plus, she wants La Ik, alive, not dead.
Now, her dad? He's definitely capable of hiring a killer, but I doubt he'd be stupid enough to plan something like this, especially since he's been wanting to send Hye Ju away so that she wouldn't ruin his reputation. Killing her ex-lover would only bring more unwanted attention and bring Hye Ju back, which is the opposite of what he wants.
So......that leaves us with no one!!! I'm honestly sooo eager to find out who it was. The revelation better not disappoint us after all this buildup. I even thought maybe U Seong killed himself, but why would he do it in La Ik's house and put La Ik in trouble. My bet now is that La Ik was the target, and U Seong was mistakenly murdered.
In Ep10, there was someone spying outside Sena's home. It made it seem like it could've been the reporter, and I know it's very likely the reporter, but....what if it wasn't? I don't know. I'm just throwing random assumptions now. ๐
Anyway, I love the cute moments between La Ik and Se Na this week, like his cringey and hilarious aegyo in Ep9, and him getting caught near Se Na's house in Ep10, and him confessing he was following her the night Jae Hee's incident happened, and asking if she went to play the piano because she missed him ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ The way his eyes lit up and even bit his lip in anticipation was so cute and funny ๐๐
Next weekend is the last weekend already. I hope we get a bit more cute moments between them, and hopefully the whole revelation with U Seong's case and Se Na's dad's case would be satisfying.
La Ik is surrounded by so many manipulative vampires and the CEO is such a big part of the bloodsuckers!!!!!
Exactly. And he even tried painting U Seong as the bad guy when he was the one pushing U Seong into that corner. That's why I don't trust him. I was so glad La Ik saw through his bs and called him out on the spot.
Done with Ep9 and i still don't trust that CEO. I feel he's definitely still hiding something. And Hye Ju... I still feel like she's just pretending. She acts like she's able to let go, but she's also saying words to manipulate La Ik. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it, but the way she scrunched up their photo together...... hmm, not liking it. Smells iffy to me.
Only if people hating on ML could read this! I wrote as well, but you defined it so nicely why ML has trust issues!…
Thank you!! To be honest, La Ik doesn't have the best ML character out there, but our ML here isn't meant to be perfect. He's meant to be a total mess mentally but is actually a really nice person. I believe any nice person would end up becoming someone with spikes all over after going through the kind of hell La Ik went through.
Instead of pointing fingers and blaming him or her....first think about it from their perspective he is already…
But here's the thing....you're not La Ik and La Ik isn't you. So you gotta think from his pov. La Ik's been haunted by obsessive fans for years to the point he doesn't even feel safe at home. To you, finding out someone helping you is a fan would make you happy, but to La Ik, it's the complete opposite.
I completely understand your frustration with La Ik though. Dealing with him isn't easy and not everyone can put up with that.
Biggest suspect to me since last week has been the same. That CEO Geum is behind it, and the manager is an accomplice.…
Also kinda pity Hye Ju this episode finding out why she broke up with La Ik back then. Her father's the worst. Still, her coming back acting all entitled definitely left a bad taste and I'm not a fan of it either. Still don't like her much, but I'm glad she seems genuinely eager to help La Ik.
Biggest suspect to me since last week has been the same. That CEO Geum is behind it, and the manager is an accomplice. Or a bigger plot twist would be what I initially thought, which is U Seong getting involved in some shady business connected to Hye Ju's father, and he broke the deal or something. I still think CEO Geum's got a bigger motive though. Maybe CEO Geum was the one colluding with Hye Ju's father and U Seong found out so they decided to silence him.
I also think Jae Hee's whole "su*cide" was staged. But tempering with his car would've been too obvious. Maybe it was someone he trusted who drugged him and he drove without knowing. So back to the person he trusted.....I'm suspecting it's the manager! Same thing goes with U Seong's case, tbh. They said the killer was highly likely someone they trusted. With Jae Hee's case, they already labeled him as emotionally unstable, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he took some meds, making the drugged situation less suspicious.
Also don't get all the hate on the FL and ML. La Ik was traumatized by his so-called fans. He's developed trust issues over the years. Now with Se Na, she made him trust her and even rely on her, showing her his vulnerable side. Finding out that she was hiding this huge secret from him would've been terrifying because WHAT IF Se Na actually was a manipulative person? What if she actually had bad intentions.
So what if he's seen how "sincere" she was. If Se Na was really manipulative, she would've been able to make it convincing, acting sincere in front of him. I mean, look at CEO Geum. La Ik's known him for years, La Ik trusted him. Yet that guy's been hiding and acting in front of La Ik, ready to beteray him and his members, even La Ik never thought to suspect him. At this point, no one can be trusted. It'd be weird if La Ik wasn't freaked out and angry at Se Na, especially with his bad experiences.
And for Se Na to really let go takes a lot of courage. I love that she's tried her best to keep things professional. Even after La Ik knew and fired her, she didn't let her pride get in the way and went to Hye Ju to ask for help. Because she knew Hye Ju was the only person who could. She was really looking out for La Ik, not as a fan but as a responsible lawyer.
FL and ML are honestly just two broken people who managed to find solace in each other. I can't wait to see that in the next episode.
I think one thing we need to keep in mind is that, just because someone who looked unhappy and depressed all the…
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.... ๐๐ I seriously hope not. La Ik's got enough sketchy people by his side already ๐ซ
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 ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ)
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!!
Am I the only one who hopes that Raik wonโt return to stardom in the end? Maybe like small acoustic gigs here…
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.
one thing I don't really understand is how quickly the ml changed. I think it was in the second or third episode,…
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.
The plot's pretty engaging so far, but I can't help worrying if any of the good guys will get killed again. Like the rest of the scholars who are helping them now, or even Bai or Bei Zhou. As we get closer to the mid-point where the mood might shift, moments where they are enjoying their victory or bidding farewell make me anxious because they feel like some foreshadow.
