Please note everyone, this is the Episode 7 and 8 thread!!! And not the 5 & 6 thread.

@pkml3 will probably rename it later when she notices it. 🙂

I shouldn’t laugh, but the comments are as funny as the clip.

Hi, @Growing Beautifully. I hope you are well.

@Welmaris, I hope it’s simply a lack of caffeine for @packmule3 and not the dreaded Covid brain fog!

@packmule3, hwaiting! 🤒/☕☕☕

@agdr03 I’m excited too! The preview hints at them doing more cohabiting and having to be a ‘couple’ even on weekends.

In future i’m not going to read the prime video synopsis of the episode. It makes it sound really boring and not even the show.I am watching😁

I am only halfway through the episode and I am not very engaged.

I will reformulate my thoughts about the kiss. The drama was trying to satirize kdrama kisses And/or She was kissing him because someone was watching and she wanted to show They really are a couple.

I think the main couple is doing a good job.But we need more about their relationship And his back story.

@MM, perhaps I should have guessed from the foreshadowing clue, since this Show is turning out to be a showcase of things salacious, but I didn’t guess what would be presented next in terms of unconventional XXX relationships.

Then again, I recall the harem and wonder how it’s not so shocking in a harem but more so in modern day romances.

What next, I wonder… and there are 5 episodes more.

So in that polyamory threesome, if guy Tae Hyung wants to marry Hui Seong but she does not want marriage, will Tae Hyung just marry Min Ji instead? If Hui Seong does agree to marriage would Tae Hyung have gone for bigamy? I found out that there are different kinds of polyamory but haven’t researched that.

So far the writer girl, Ja Yeon, who writes erotic web novels, is about the most experientially innocent of the bunch… and it seems appropriate that she’s paired up with equally innocent, strait-laced Gyu Hyun. They make a cute couple.

I was at X, looked at posts for episode 8.

Queen!!! Please watch it for Bruno and Chris. They’re like Rachel and Samantha. 🤣

I was totally lost because they covered it with hearts but I saw without the cover. 😂

@GB I did not think of the what next That seems to be what is being presented in episode eight. Let’s see what happens With that.

My notes on episode 8

We get some JY backstory and a real kiss between JU and HY. We also see him starting to get into the first kiss when she stops it. He gets angry that she can kiss him when supposedly she has no feelings for him. They are cute decorating his rooftop room, shopping for a bed and committing to wait until the time is right. JU tells her mother that she ignores his confessions and becomes excited to share with HY that her mom is remembering her and then realizes that would let the cat out of the bag.

I did not think Ahn catching on was done very interestingly. I also did not appreciate the bathroom humour.

Coincidentally JY’s father just happens to be walking down the street when she is with Bok. They do a rather long slow mo run-the second one already ! I did like the song he sings to her_ Breathe (Jungkook, LeeHi), I think.

I thought the snipping scene was funny.

I am wondering if SY was looking at her calendar in a bewildered way because her period is late. I sure hope she was not using rhythm birth control.

Epilog of JU preparing to help out the “helpless woman” was funny, based on an Internet video on how to get back in her good books.

I am enjoying KYD much more in this drama than in Moon in a Day.

The PPL for the sandwich shop was cute when she was trying to hide behind the wrapper. LOL BWS has become PPL.

@agr3 I have read that there are 2 or 3 versions of this drama(or maybe it is 2 or 3 different subbed versions.) X does seem to be where this is being discussed.

@MM
Yes, I thought having a threesome was already pretty crowded, but then to hear that there was at least a 4th party involved and that they had allocated weeks to date!!!

I wonder if JU is right, ie that HY knows he likes her but is pretending to not know. I did like how her mother suddenly remembered her name. A short lucid moment in dementia. It gives us a bit of hope that before the end of the episode, she’ll know (at least momentarily) who HY and JU are and give them her blessing or something like that to give us some closure over her being left on the side during their relationship.

I also wonder if it was Sec Jang or GH’s mum Seong Ah or his dad who revealed that JU is also a Bok.

If it was Jang, it was in revenge for the Boks treating him like a minion and throwing him away so easily (I heard him say he lost his job?), so he has nothing to lose by revealing it all to JU. His advice to be a lion when entering the lion’s den is not bad, but is it the right thing for JU given his personality? Or he might be a lion in a very different sort of way?

If the one who revealed it was Seong Ah, then she’s wrecking her husband’s plan to threaten Gyu Hyun. She may also take action against HY as the wife of JU.

If it was Chairman Bok himself, then he’s threatening Gyu Hyun to become the CEO he wants him to be or risk losing his position to the illegitimate son.

In any case, poor JU is being used by someone or other to further their own interests/take revenge, etc. Even HY is using him, but openly.

I like the tropes of the man being the one to help the weak woman … open the jars, fix the light, etc all turn into a joke. It was JU who manipulated stuff to get attention, but it backfired on him, and we see HY totally not needing a man for that stuff.

JU seems to think, probably from HY and another ex-bf’s buying of condoms fiasco???? … that in order for HY to get into a relationship, the physical aspect was important? If not for Gyu Hyun’s unexpected arrival, we would have gotten a nice kiss!

@MM, I’d think those toys in the box were given to her by Hui Seong.

I am thinking about a comment @GB made about the distinction between trope and cliche. A very brief look online suggested that the distinction is that a trope is a narrative device(a common story element) that when it is overused becomes cliche. This may be too simple a distinction, I think.

I am wondering about this because I find this show very uneven. Because the main couple is appealing, some cliche, to me , is more acceptable. But that can be boring. There are many efforts to spice up this show with salacious (I like that word, @GB) scenes.

This show is a big mix(mess?) of elements. I would like to see a spinoff of the romance between the lead couple. That is where I feel shortchanged but I am hoping that will change now.

I am reminded of your comment @GB that this drama is mixing the strands well. A big task, in my eyes, to keep the story appealing and coherent.

I have, a number of times, wondered if I want to keep watching and then we get an episode like episode 8 and I am in until the end now I think.
