What started as a promising tale, has become anything but, so disappointed, I was looking for a series I could connect with & enjoy now I'm seriously let down, absolutely loathe the way Aek is being played outnow, loathe too the number of adversaries, I'll watch the remaining episodes but be holding hopes of enjoying them

You're welcome it was shared with me a few weeks ago by another mdl user

What a beautifully crafted ending, full of touching ng moments, I really liked the confession of the flower in Tae's hair was because Shinwoo said he looked cute, lovrd too Tae giving Shinwoo a key chzin similar to the one Shinwoo had given him and how Shinwoo owned up that the original key chain had been brought for Tae. Most importantly we got a kiss scene confirming that 2yrs later they are still together if still some what awkward with PDA's.

Tonight's version of Da-On was perhaps my favourite, it was nice to see him auietly accept he had lost to Shinwoo, it was even better to hear him say he needed to find himself (disappointed he told that to SoHee and even agreed to letting her help him on his journey), really pleasing to see him pulling back from being a people pleaser. If we get a season 2 I hope that Da-On will continue to mature and find his authentic self.

It was touching to see gang hold a b,day party for Mr Haebit, very reminiscent of the welcome to SC they held for Tae. As to who the teacher was in the hall as Mr Haebit was leaving, my guess is the teacher who took Da-On aside when the photo was published. Again if we get a season 2 we will hopefully get answer.

My only disappointment was the continued redemptive arc for SoHee , sorry but I still believe she got away with proverbial murder. Also SoHee with Namgoong confronting those 2 busybody gossips, vedy much "pot calling kettle black", so hypocrtical.

Agreed

You're welcome I only got it just as I went to wztch tonight's episode

For anyone who might want a hint what to expect Thursday here is a link covering highlights of eps 15 & 16

Ok so the last scene of Tae x Shinwoo in the council room has me confused, at the start of the episode Tae clearly Da-On that he had come to see himself through Shinwoo and wanted to return those feelings, then he seeks out Shinwoo from the stage and even smiles to him, so why when it counts most is he removing Shinwoo 's hand?

Well done to those who guessed rhe cylinder was Tae's picture, it was a beautiful piece of art.
Felt for Shinwoo when he noticed that Tae and Da-On had grown close again, and that Da-On was wearing the bracelet.

I'm still miffed with the Namgoong x SoHee arc, and her playing nice with Tae, just makes me sick and incredibly angry.

The opening conversation cum confession was not unexpected, I wish however that Tae had said in response to Da-On's can I like you?, something like did you not hear what I just said about Shinwoo?

Ok moving to final preview from what I've seen we have 3 key aspects;
1) Tae telling somene how warm and happy they had made him, which maybe a repeat of the opening from this episode.
2) Shinwoo giving a very resigned " if thats your decision there's nothing I can do about it", I'm hoping this isn't said to Tae in response to him possibly choosing Da-On (which I don't think will happen - even though we have that disturbing flash back as the last scene tonight, I remember Da-On saying as he sat next to Tae that night sorry I'm late)
3) Tae saying that's the story of my first love, now it's time for us. Who is us I'm relatively confident it's Tae x Shinwoo

All true I think we're probably going to get a rush ending, thus the failure to contiue the ending of ep 13 properly, I think this is due to one of 2 scenarios (1) due to covid they ran out of time to finish the story the way they initially planned too, (2) they simply ran out of episodes, a bit like manga authors do, the production company may simply have told them you have a budget for 16 episodes and that's all.

Www.dailymotion.com

Mmm good point but as both of them are naturally retiscent unless pushed into speaking out, I think it's going to have to be an unexpected kiss from one or the other to connect their hearts as one.

Agreed there was something in Tae's tone when Shinwoo asks does he miss Da-On that sounded like that of a friend caring about anothers well-being

Personal experience makes me judgemental of negative characters, behaviour like So Hee's leaves damage that lingers, so seeing her so easily forgiven and coming back is a poor scripting choice. I know they say you should forgive so you can ba at peace with yourself but why can't they also show actions have consequences and not everybody can be easily forgiven?

Agreed as a teen I was also a victim of a So Hee like person only my tormentor went one step further and psychically threantened me and to this day I still watch over my shoulder and keep as l9w a profile as possible

Yeah it could be the key chain, the So Hee character has had me irritated right from the start, everything she did or said was only ever about her own ego, and by writing in such a quick forgiveness arc makes me wonder what message it truly sends, to me it says I can destroy whomever, however and there'll be no consequences or reason for guilt because they'll fogive me and forget once the dust settles. NOPE YOU NEED TO SUFFER.

Yep I agrre even in the preview it showed Da-On making a call, and he had returned the bacelet to his wrist.
As to the confession I would love to see the rezction too, but I think Tae genuinely understood the truth and that is why he commanded Shinwoo to stay at his side as manager and why he admitted to himself Shinwoo knew how to make his heart flutter.

😠😡 NO NO NO, How dare the writers allow Lee So Hee tobe so easily forgiven, even allowing Tae to agree to being friends, NOT HAPPY, SHE should live with her guilt, So ANNOYED by that arc, and now I'm con erned our dreamed for end won't happen.

Moving on Shinwoo was so sweet, he tried so hard to look good and act like it was a date, Tae's comment about Shinwoo being easy to tease was cute, as was his admission Shinwoo really knows how to make his heart flutter.💗

So where is Tae's story headed, will we still have by Shinwoo's side or will Da-On slide back to his side with the apology and e pression of wanting to start again?
Any ideas what Tae has lost that has him so flustered?

Hey my friend I'm gonna be late tonight due to needing to wait on translated version, leave me spoilers please, plus I've seen an offcial preview of tonight ep showing Da-On & Shinwoo talking about not being able to get along, I hope it isn't said in front of Tae, and the clip also a.ludes to this ep revealing who Tae chooses.

In that case I apologise for my misinterpretation, and I agree laws do need reveiwing and changing

Thank you part of my growth and accetance has been to finally admit to my sexuality, whhich has only happened in this last 4 yrs, and covid has helped me break frre of being obligated to attend chuurch and let me indulge in my hidden joys, my family still don't know my truth but I'm ok.
I hope you too, find and experience what you seek.
