I just seem to have found other trainees that I think would be a better fit for this group. < same. As much as I LOVE Hui (he has one of my fav vocals in kpop overall) I just don't see him as a part of the team here. I don;t think he would blend in well together with them.

Jun Hyeong is so adorable. The sounds he makes when he "practices" the choreo 😂
Jin Woo is going to have a heart attack his crush so strong 🤣

Not gonna lie, this is the most bullshit ranking process I have ever seen. Legit skipping it all until the last one with all benefits. It's just such a waste of time.

I'm so sorry to say that but Shiwoo and Yuma have to debut in a different group. They both have more of a crazy fun teen vibe, than the cute little boy that the other members deliver. Both showed how good they can be with different than cute concept (in Rap performance and Dance performance in last round). They both are not AMAZING in their skill YET, but the potential there is as fucking high as it can get and both have such a massive stage presence, just don't make them do cute shit 😭

I had to pause when Shiwoo was about to speak coz him about to cry is me literally crying 😭

Honestly... this was a bad episode in terms of directing. They should show ranking without bonusses and with ALL bonusses and that's it. Give more behind the scene bits and let the trainees speak more as the results are given.

Short thoughts about new songs since they are on spotify lol

1. Dignity - RE-ZERO: I love the chorus, especially the high pitched melody line and the "flute" in the 2nd verse!
2. Team 2:00 - CIRCUIT: this one... I'm not crazy about? It just sounds a bit basic and not memorable 😅
3. BXB - HOLA!: I mean... I am sucker for this vibe. Love the breathy vocals too. Not good enough for a playlist tho..
4. ATBO - TEXT ME (1052): HOLY FUCK THIS SOUNDS SO NOSTALGIC LOL
5. Team 7:00 - Doesn't Matter: Something that always gets me - an empty instrumental for the chorus that moves into a whole ass summer melody vibe.
6. Team 8:00 - Coco Colada: fuck yes for the beginning of the first verse, the rest... nope.
7. BLITZERS - S.O.D.A: yeah... not sure how I feel about that chorus 🤣 the opening rap for the 2nd verse tho! yes!
8. Team 11:00 - Skyscraper: per-chorus was for sure the best part of the song. Tho that base anti-drop for the chorus was also amazing.
9. Team 13:00 - CRIMINAL: this feels more like a solo or duet kind of song, not exactly one for a group... Han Gyeol in the chorus tho 😍
10. Team 14:00 - FEVER: Am I the only one who feels like they struggled with the vocals? 🤣
11. Team 15:00 - Nothin' without you: I love me noise music so much 😭 Love this one so much!
12. BDC - Thunder (Urr) : this gives me like 2011 kpop. Not mad about it, but I guess I kind of moved on from that style.
13. Team 20:00 - Like We've Never Been: decent chill song.
14. 24k - STEP BY STEP: this is like a b-side song that if it was from my fav fav group I would add to playlist but skip more often than not lol
15. Team 23:00 - Chamomile: okay i for sure love the vocals in verse one. Great attitude. The song just makes you happy.
16. Team 24:00 - Be Mine: yeah this is Infinite vibes 🤣

Honestly not amazed with the song 😅

i assume they will have to move some trainees from other groups.
Probably the members will have to choose themselves which 5-6 members stay in a specific song, and who has to leave to fill the other songs' spots.

I'm comparing the 4 episodes to the same amount of content in the webtoon, and they did change things to make them more simple compared to source material.

And it's not a separate work. It is a rather close adaptation of existing story. They followed the webtoon too closely to view it as a completely different thing, but they also gave up on a lot of nuances to make it easier to digest for the viewers. Some may like and appreciate that, I would personally prefer them to not go the "black and white" version.

I cannot speak for others, but I'm not one to always criticize adaptations and claim the original source material is always better. Many shows/movies I preferred as the adaptation compared to the source material. but I'm also going to point out if I dislike the direction the production takes. It's all subjective anyway. The changes in this adaptation make the story less good for me, but they might make it better for others.

I have no issues with changing things from the source material and there are often valid reasons to do that. But here... I cannot think of one reason they might do it except to make the story easier for the viewers to accept and make TH a "perfect victim" of toxic people, rather than the whole family being broken by an accident and not knowing how to deal with it emotionally. God forbit a story gives viewers more than one valid perspective and have more than one person a victim of the circumstances they are in 😅

not like I'm forcing you to read the webtoon.
I first started the show and then decided to read the webtoon so it's not like I'm an OG fan of the webtoon now salty about the drama not being 1:1 copy of the plot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't think webtoon was that amazing either, but it did a few things better than the drama is doing and that's what I pointed out. I would have exactly the same complains about the show even without reading the webtoon.

There are changes in adaptations that are needed because of the different medium. There are changes that improve on the source material. There are changes that make the adaptation different, but not worse than the source material. And then there are changes that take away the complexity, making the story look less unique. It's fair to point out if it's the last one.

things i wish they did not change from webtoon.

I'm kind of sad how they are making it far less complex in most of the plot aspects. Way easier to digest and more approachable than the webtoon, but because of that, less meaningful and more generic.
From TH's actions being far less serious, less malicious and more playful at the beginning. How the consequences in the drama were - DY is annoyed and angry. While in webtoon he was sure annoyed and angry, but it was honestly obvious he was truly scared of what might happened to him and the scholarship.

How his conversation with the dad made him look more like a victim with dad trying to "excuse" the aunt for her sake, when it webtoon it was more of the dad comforting TH (poor attempt but still) which added the complexity of this situation - it was not everyone hates TH and abandoned him, it was a father who failed at dealing with serious situation that happened.

Or how the aunt was not a nasty bitch who was not nice to him from the start. Like damn they even make her say he sucks at drawing, when in webtoon she said he is really good at drawing lol They really wanted everyone to be sure that she is the evil one and how to feel about her. No conflicting feelings for the viewers. Or when he asked if the parents will sent him back when the new baby shows up and she calmy explained that it's not true. That her sister, his mom would never do it (while in drama she said no one knows and maybe if he will be a good boy he won't have to come back, which just made him more scared of the new baby). She also seemed older in the drama which make her actions worse, while in webtoon she was a young student. Yes, the slap still happened when he said he wishes the baby to never come, but they also said how TH was acting like that for months. The situation was far less "bitch of an aunt" and more complex. Her blaming him was also a strong emotional reaction to her losing her sister as a teen herself.

Even tiny things like why his friend quits archery. I thought it was far more thought provoking for him to give up because he truly thinks he cannot make it work, he is simply not good enough, he reached his top ability and it's not enough. The idea that sometimes hard work is not enough. Giving him shoulder injury was just... unnecessary.

With how they go in the drama right now, I think this will have far more of a happy ending than the webtoon and again... not sure if I'm happy about it.

It's not just about the home, but the fact they lost it to this specific woman. A woman that took away their dad, a woman whom they blame for their mother's sickness. It's the fact that the house was given to the woman that ruined their happy family and live.

6.5... oof. Wanted to check it out at some point for Wang Yang 😅
and the last paragraph of the review does not make the drama too appealing either 🤣

I guess we will know when the time comes 🤣

I've been part of the circus since episode 1 🤣🤡

The point is - there was exactly no reason to not tell what exactly happened. TH knew how the way he phrased everything sounds like and what it would make out of DY. It's not like he was not aware that his side of the story seems like DY tried to force himself on TH.

TH KNOWS DY's version of searching for something important is true, because he literally found it - him knowing the truth, but presenting misleading idea of what happened KNOWING it is misleading falls under definition of lie: "to create a false or misleading impression" and "an untrue or inaccurate statement that may or may not be believed true by the speaker or writer".

No person on the planet would be chill after being falsely accused of SA. He was not embarrassment, he was angry and annoyed at TH for lying and teachers for not even wanting to hear his side of it.

Love how Da Yeol made it "worse" by saying I like you and not I love you 🤣 He said it: he said something even weirder 🙂
Not me kind of shipping Da Yeol and Min Jung 🤡

Tae Hyun LITERALLY SAID Da Yeol tried to make out with him even when he said no. That's a lie, not just "not telling the whole truth".

I know, this was written as I was watching the episode, not after I watched the episode 🤡
basically I wrote about the ankle before we found out Anne is not real 🤣

everyone is sharing theories so I will too:

We know Dome is supernatural being and they keep insinuating he might be on his way to be a god if he reaches his full power. So Maybe Khatha and Tay were his guardians in the past - meant to protect him until he reaches the god status, but he died, so now Khatha and Tay are immortal not necessarily coz of a curse, but rather as a consequence of not fulfilling their duties - now waiting for Dome to get reincarnated/resurrected/whatever and in new form reach the power, because only then they will be free from their duties. They literally cannot die because they still have to do their job 😅

totally not unnecessarily long reaction to episode 6 🤡

Ready to put my makeup on as I watch the episode 🤡

I have so many issues with how illogical the Adam and Eve biblical story was always for me that even a fun animation could not stop me from rolling eyes 🤣 Also they mixed some other not exactly biblical stuff in it in the show 😅

I am still amazed how chill Dome is about HAVING NO MEMORIES OF LIKE 98% OF HIS LIFE and doing nothing about it.

"Hello, do you want to have a new life" BITCH RUN, CULT! WE ALL KNOW WHERE SHIT LIKE THAT LEADS HAHAHA after "In the Name of God: A Holy Betrayal" one gets sensitive about scenes like that.

"Think about it as a test" fuck no? Like... this is the way to NOT GET HIRED. Imagine random dude you did not hire yet doing whatever they want in your flowershop before you even had a chance to test his skills etc. I would ask them to leave and never apply for a job there 🤣

"Do you like it?" he says as he gives her just bunch of the same flowers in a pretty paper 😅

I love how the most unrealistic things about this show are not really the fantasy and supernatural shit, but the bullshit daily stuff that make no sense.

Are they suggesting Dome is god? Coz I might start believing again 🙂 Keep him away from the status of the God? Like.. he ain;t god, but he has the power to become one? 🤔
Also oof witch lady is beautiful!

"YOU NEED TO ACCEPT FEELINGS THAT YOU HAVE" BITCH STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART! 😭🤡

"Most of items sold in my shop are shady" WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TELL IT TO A DETECTIVE MA DUDE, WHY?

If Dome looking at this phone hesitating if he should call Khatha or not is not the typical crush behavior, then what is? And then him accidentally calling IS LITERALLY TYPCIAL ROM-COM SCENE! I am sorry, but this whole scene is gay 🙂 LOOK AT THE, GAY TEARS!

The way Anna is like: I want a slim leg; I would be like: I want a leg that looks the most like my other leg. We need to measure this shit. It has to fit.

WAIT WHAT JUNE IS STILL THERE? THEY WANT DOME'S LEG? NOT JUNE'S? HHAHAHAHA oooorrrrrrr they want to give Dome's leg to Nanon lol LSHDFLDHGSLD NOPE HAHAHA BITCH WANTS DOME'S LEG I CANNOT HAHAHAHAHA

Not Khatha being tired after one jump with his cane 😅 Dude needs to exercise more. He is so weak it's actually funny.
