so the reason i was confused, was cause the description here is misleading. Lee Hyeon might be an university freshman, that's cheerful and optimistic but he has experienced some form of emotional hurt or heartbreak. he knew Kim An (who was his tutor in high school) & something happens between them & then Kim An disappears on him. the reason he enrolled in this university is cause he knew Kim An was going here. Lee Hyeon starts following Kim An around like a puppy, pestering the cold and aloof young tutor about why he ghosted him, where he disappeared too & what he was doing for the past 3 yrs... *************************************************************************************************************************************************************same with another side story; where here Ju Hyeok is returning to campus after a break. He meets and has a fling with a man named Seong Min after they meet by chance, but the latter vanishes without a trace the morning after. Ju Hyeok is shocked to discover that Seong Min is actually his new class’s teaching assistant. not the case Ju Hyeok falls for a pushover, sweethearted Seong Min after Seong Min almost get pushed into stripping for an art class, when all he was trying to do was move some stuff for an overbearing professor that was ordering him around. no fling or prior acquaintance. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the only accurate plot description was poor Min U who's stuck in a confusing romantic situation: he has a secret crush on his unemployed best friend, Ma Ru. *****************************************************************************************************for now still donno how i feel about any couple - just Min U breaking my heart cause he is not just infatuated he is suffering cause Ma Ru treats him like a bff & nothing more. & that is hurting Min U.

I haven’t been calm for a second (

RESET – Episode 9How is it that I started crying almost from the beginning of the episode – and just couldn’t stop?The small moments. The dialogue. The way they built the characters.Our connection to them.The development of Armin and Tada? Insane.Absolutely insane.But can someone please explain what’s going on here?Because I have a feeling all our hearts are about to break – and I’m not sure I can handle it.In the moments leading up to the end, there are hints…That maybe everything we’re watching – isn’t even real.Maybe it’s all a dream.Most likely Tada’s.But maybe Armin’s too.My heart is leaning toward Tada – because ever since Armin died… he’s been imagining all of it.And if that’s true – I’m honestly afraid to find out.What they pulled off here is insane.Even now – with just one episode left – everything is confusing, yet somehow clear.Every little look between them sends shivers down my spine.The cactuses from the previous episode?They came back in this one.That’s not random. Nothing is forgotten.This show takes the tiniest things – and makes you cry over them.They’re not just messing with our heads.They’re messing with our hearts.I can’t remember the last time I connected to characters like this.To the point where even one look – or the fear that something bad might happen – has me crying through half the episode.Or scared to even keep watching.So yeah.Even before the show has ended – it’s already a 10 out of 10.We’ve got a writer and director who aren’t here to play.We’ve got two actors performing on the highest level –Chemistry, presence, a connection you simply can’t ignore.And all of this in one series, with a brilliant concept and perfectly executed build.No other way to say it:10 out of 10. Without a doubt.
