Four Stars

One of the good aspects of this show, which is prominent in this episode, is a smooth blend between the mundane reality and the fantasy elements. The transitions between daily life and either visions or dreams sequences are done in a perfect way. The drama also starts to hint and speak of the "fate" and free will theme and how much can we truly influence our future. As for the characters, honestly love the comedic bits of the God of Wisdom. His low-key eccentric behavior is truly entertaining to watch. Not to mention the quick change in the female lead's perspective on life, which is greatly appreciated by me. On the bad side, I feel like they showed a little bit too much of the main couple's past relationship in this episode. I wish they would keep me in the dark for at least one more episode to build up the tension a little bit more and keep me guessing. Also, the start of their connection in the past in the context of where it led seems a little bit questionable. In episode two we are introduced to yet another amazing piece from ost: Never Ending Rain. How are they improving with music when they had such a perfect start in episode one?For the production and directing: how would I call the camera work? Stationary. While it gives me opportunity for great screenshots, I would appreciate a little bit more movement. And it's not like there is that many stationary shots, but somehow they truly stand out when I watch the episode. But, just like in episode 1, I enjoyed quite a few transitions between scenes. These they are acing.

Recovering from the previous flop episodes

Subjectively speaking, Tim and Mai’s story is bland and dry. I don’t feel anything about them. On the other hand, Park is indeed a cutie. Always feel like I’m in the ray of sunshine whenever I see him on-screen.Not gonna lie, the sister and brother bonding in this show is absolutely cute. They have a healthy sibling relationship and those sisters' effort in making their brothers reconcile with each other was flawlessly charming. I am enjoying this episode more than the previous episodes.I’m just 22 years old but I feel old enough to watch a school-based romance. However, Park and Lee’s story was something that relieves this kind of thought I have had for a year. The glimpse of how they first met each other was absolutely adorable and refreshing, the facial expression wins it!“You don’t need to be good at it, just show the world how you suck at it.” -Bomb to Bear. I don’t know whether to take this as a compliment or as an insult but they surely bring the entertainment aspect high. There are hilariously loveable, a dumb and a lover hehe cute! Not expecting that sudden kiss at the end. Upgrade status check: from fan to boyfriend, hope all haha.I love that their family is composed of open-minded members in which they don't question one’s sexuality and are even proud to boast that their son is doing BL content online.So, EP06 is an episode dedicated to each couples’ first onscreen kisses. Love the sequence and the reason behind touching each others’ lips with having the atmospheric storytelling that varies with their distinct narrative.
