I finally got a chance to watch ep 6 with subs and despite the fandom opinion I really like it.
Perhaps this is because I am not really watching this for romance/as a romance story, but a lovely, slice-of-life tale of growing up. And it had so many lovely lovely scenes.
Heeeee, my secondary OTP! See, her face despite her earlier encouragement and his grin. EEEE.
The lovely lovely rain scene was my favorite in this ep - the emotion followed by peace and an odd and silent understanding. Wet Yonghwa doesn't hurt :P Such a lovely scene even if it is giving me traumatic flashbacks to Mawang.
See rain-sequence in Mawang, my favorite drama of all time:
Well, at least it won't leave me traumatized for life, like Mawang, but still, any connection with Mawang is bad for my nervous system.
Hey, Shin! Let's go to a surprise funeral! Your dad's! Seriously, she is an awful mother.
Shin mourning his father through singing. It was a lovely, sad scene.
The fandom went insane over this scene, not in a good way, but in a context I was OK with it - Shin just needs comfort from someone, anyone. I wish it was GW (that would have been such an amazing scene), but surprisingly, I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would.
