You were right!!! The only love he knows is the way his mother loved him- no wonder he's such a mama bear around JYJ. He's willing to do anything as long as it keeps JYJ safe- mirroring his mother's actions from back when he was a child 🙈🥲

Yesss! For a passing observer, the scene may feel like filler but it carries so much hidden weight 🥲

Even the way he loves JYJ mirrors the way how his mother loved him- willing to do anything as long as she is happy and safe.🥲

Looks like it was all about power and control back then. She chose her life over her baby's in the end since he probably threatened her to handover SB to him? I can't see any other reason why she wouldn't have considered just leaving WSB at an orphanage/ secretly arranging an adoption since these options would be more safe.


I can kiiiind of see why she may have not reported him back then (same reason why they can't directly report him even now). The drama makes it a point to emphasize that the father is well respected. So compared to his high status, a struggling young actress (An) or a house wife (the mum) wouldn't be able to stand a chance- specially since he is THAT dangerous. You have to play your cards right. I feel like they might do something similar to what they did with the DV case in Dynamite Kiss towards the end? Quietly build a damning case against him. Alternative is to eliminate him but I'd rather have An do that instead of WSB- he's been through enough already🙈

An definitely knows how the father's mind works though. She didn't try to calm him down by reminding him that SB is his son like most dramas do- instead she reminded him thar he was about to commit murder. He truly is inhuman🥲

You should try Friendly Rivalry- she's really great in it as well! She truly is a bold actress.

Fair warning though, it's about high school violence so if you are not into it, it might be a bit triggering

Yes- WSB already guessed that was her plan all along which was why he wasn't that invested about finding a replacement. Now that we know his true connection, no wonder he wasn't surprised 🙈

I feel like they might have cut scenes of the 3rd couple? Even with the MC you get this feeling at times - as if they are trying to save time (which they redeamed in ep 8's heart to heart). Probably because of the 12 eps run?

Basically they've started shooting their movie. The leads are Ha Na and Yu Geon. Ha Na's mum derails Ha Na's plans to go independant by tricking Yu Geon into signing a contract with her Agency that binds him to her will (i.e. cannot date Ha Na). This puts alot of tension between the two "friends" since even before they could define their growing attachment to eachother, they are forced to stop. Since they have to work together, this makes things complicated for them (but enjoyable for us).

With the MC, they finally have a heart to heart and decide to let go of the past and redefine their pain into love (it makes more sense when you watch ep 7-8).


With the third couple, the third FL (Sa Rang?) realizes that she cannot just keep their relationship as a one night stand and wants to try again after their Reality show wraps up later. They barely have any screentime though so you didn't miss much from their front.

With the parents? Pure chaos from WSB and Ha Na's side. Yu Geon's father on the otherhand finds peace with YG. JYJ's mum didn't make an appearance if I remember correctly this week since she's already given her blessing to their project.

Yes he's her ex from college. That's why Yu Geon was losing it after he found out since he knows what'll happen once they meet 🙈

So true! I even like the fact that even Soo Bin might have dated in the past too. His response and final reaction is too cheeky to believe he was single 🙈

The father probably doesn't know about their relationship with the local grandmother. She's not a relation- just a mutual friend of Soo Bin and JYJ back when they were kids.

No matter how unstable the father is, even he knows he can't just barge into every house in the neighborhood. He just assumed Soo Bin would live with his mum since they've been apart for so long and logically it would be the safest place (based on how the father judges WSB)

True! It would have been fine to just end the jealousy thrope in ep 8 itself without including the actual rival's presence. You know that he's going to be annoying.

The only way they could compensate his annoying presence is by making poor Yu Geon jealous too since Ha Na apparently knows and hates him too for unexplained reasons. Tempt him to break their contract further?🙈

Exactly!!! Their friendship is so beautiful ❤️ I love how the writer didn't undersell the SML too like how most dramas do by making the male bestfriend seem like an average looking doofus to justify why they never dated

True. While the drama has it's flaws it really does have this charm. It's almost like when you read 3 stand alone novels that just happen to be sharing the same universe if you get what I mean? Each sub-story has it's own vibe so it's not boring (at least until you get too invested on the 2nd couple).🙈

An Sr. definitely should have her just deserts. The way she still couldn't care less about Soo Bin eventhough she is acutely aware of his situation is just disgusting.

Tell me about it! And the fact that they didn't even purposely dumb down the SML's character or make him "average" looking to emphasize that they are not meant to be because the FL is above his league is the cherry on top.

It's just two childhood friends supporting eachother through thick and thin ❤️

Oh Ha Na isn't an illegitimate kid. Her mother was married to her father (Mr Oh). Remember the flashback of her finding out about the divorce through paparazzi?

Woo Soo Bin is the illegitimate child.

His step mother was forced to be a "doormat" because she doesn't seem to have a legal right to him. She could have left that scumbag if she wanted to (like she attempted to in the past), but she can't divorce him because if she did, she'd have to leave WSB with that psycho. He's rich and well respected enough to manipulate the law without hard evidence. Basically the step mother sacrificed herself when WSB was a kid. She's probably suffering from PTSD which is why she's still afraid to leave even after WSB broke free.

An refused to take WSB in when he begged her to because she was married to Mr Oh at the time. Because she was selfish, she'd rather risk her son's life than mess her successful life.

Exactly!!! I really love how JYJ changed the definitions behind all their heartbreaking moments- even bringing back the rain kiss. All the "brushed off" moments in the drama are in facts parts of a puzzle. We just need to wait till the right moment for them to click. The drama is more slice of life of a couple finding their way back to eachother than a typical romcom and I'm loving it 🤭🤭🤭

The second couple can't focus during a simple rehersal take even...an onscreen kiss will probably obliterate them into stardust. Ha Na's mum really didn't think it through when she decided to play with fire 😅😅😅

You can always secretly break a contract?🤫😉 The repercussions will be terrible though🙃
SYG really does it have it worst. Everybody else has some kind of safety net to fall back to (JYJ and WSB have eachother and Hana by her own right is already established enough to even try overseas if her mother dares to blackball her in the local industry). But he’s barely surviving as it is and he cannot disappoint his supportive dad🥲

Yessss! Calling JYJ a dude’s dude and a girl’s girl is an apt way of describing her.🤩 She really is awesome and I love how she moves on once she understands what’s going on.
I’ve noticed a few complaints on how there isn’t any closure with most of JYJ and WSB’s conflicts but if you really think about it, even before the heart to hear in ep 8, knowing how JYJ operates, it was fairly clear that she wouldn’t have the heart to hate WSB once she understood that he really didn’t have any control at the time. The father’s audacity to break into THEIR private office space would have exorcised any residual resentment she may have harbored unconsciously because how can anyone handle someone so demonic???🙈

The person who decided that the SML and FL should just remain as besties deserves a raise/ special credit. I just love how they have their own lives/ love stories but at the same time they are there to support each other without any unnecessary lame love triangles/ jealous SML nonsense being added to the mix❤️

That’s sadly true. The way the mum rescued Soo Bin in that flashback-trying to make him feel that he isn’t abandoned and is loved is just so heartbreaking 🥲

Haha even I can’t wait to see Soo Bin beat him into a pulp. Now that you mention it, they might not given how soft WSB’s character is so far but gosh I hope their final conclusion is satisfying. Don’t mind if White Truck of Doom decides to make a cameo even again🙈

An’s assistant doesn’t seem too bad as a person so I reallly hope he makes use of his intel properly. He certainly is sittiing on a gold mine worth of secrets - hell he can even try to control An for a bit since he definitely knows her secret🙈

SYG and OHN will be the death of me honestly🙈 His drunk scene?!?1 That back hug and their confession was the most intimate scene today. Do you think they’ll end up breaking the contract by ep 9? How do you resist?🙈

Given how S.Korea handles real DV and other charges involving harassment, a person with connections like his father should be handled delicately.
