Finally I've found it in me to respond coherently to this post.
First of all, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOW IS AS ~UNSEEN~ AS YOU CLAIM??? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE WHEN TOP TIER IDOL GROUP MAIN VOCALIST DAESUNG HAS A MAJOR ROLE??? SENSE, THIS MAKES NONE.
I also started watching it because Im Joo Eun and Kim Ji Won!!! I am totally a sucker for these two and they were so wasted in The Heirs (as was everyone even remotely connected with that show.))
ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THEIR VOICES? WHERE IS THIS SHOW'S GODDAMN OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK?????
AND THEY PLAY ROOMMATES! THE MOST PERFECT ROOMMATES IN THE HISTORY OF ROOMMATEHOOD OKAY.
NEVER OVER DR ALMOST BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF JH FOR MAKING TY CRY. THAT'S LOVE, BITCH.
and it must have been a lot because the Fame performance from the freaking trailer doesn't make it to the actual show. I HATE THE SYSTEM

That this show makes the very rare acknowledgment that being the ~innocent ~vulnerable type also means being open to manipulation and easily influenced and unable to read people
THIS SHOW JUST LOVES TY SO MUCH?? I mean, IT PUTS HER THROUGH FUCKING HELL, but NEVER is it about punishing her for her "innocence". In fact, the show consistently portrays her as being the one in the right (see: THE POKER GAME SEQUENCE OF GLORY AND AGENCY, see: her being the one to figure out what JH did and choosing on her own settle it with the police, because that's just the kind of person she is -- the world tries to change her but she does what she believes in, always). Also, never mind Strong Female Characters™ who don't need no man, TY DOES need and want a man, she DOES want to be taken care of (as does DR), and the show doesn't treat her as weak for it. REASONS WHY THAT WORDLESS SCENE OUTSIDE THE FUNERAL IS THE MOST OTP OF OTP SCENES. Even after knowing the truth about JH she deliberately cries in his arms, she takes that comfort purely FOR HERSELF.

CAN I CRY ABOUT THIS FOREVER???? Like I FUCKING LOVE that the show explored this from all the possible angles; that you had the guys who DID feel a ~protector vibe with TY, then you have CH who thinks TY is basically stupid and her "innocence" just an act to ~get the boys. And then DR who's just chill with however TY is, and is actually overprotective herself re: TY and yet doesn't deny her any agency (BECAUSE DR, OF ALL PEOPLE, KNOWS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE DENIED AGENCY. TO BE PUT IN A BOX, A DOLL'S HOUSE, AND LEFT THERE. I cannot even talk enough about how great this is, because TY might actually be who DR's mom always wanted her to be, and yet DR doesn't resent TY like she could have, for this mirror funhouse reflection thing?? Like she accepts that it's OKAY TO BE WHO TY IS, EVEN IF THAT'S NOT DR, AND THERE IS NO ~LARGER POINT THAT THE SHOW MAKES THAT DR IS ~COOLER FOR WANTING TO CUT HER LONG HAIR OR WEAR THE CLOTHES THAT SHE DOES

I NEVER EVEN MADE THIS CONNECTION. SMH.
Dude, this show was a blessing for not playing the One Special Girl game or pitting its women against each other in the least. Not just that, it actually EXPOSED that bs for what it is. I PRACTICALLY PISSED MYSELF WHEN CY STARTED BITCHING TO JH ABOUT HOW ~GIRLS LIKE TY~ MANIPULATE MEN BY "ACTING INNOCENT" because that's exactly the kind of garbage women say about other women in this whole sick cycle of internalised misogyny and systemically designed ~competition for the attention of men, and by establishing CY as an unreliable narrator the show basically let it be known that it wasn't going to play into that? It refused to push any sort of feminine dichotomy, even if the characters themselves believed in one, and no one was bullied by the narrative into becoming any ~type of girl. THERE WAS NO REDEMPTION ARC TO BE SEEN FOR CY -- she

*WHY DON'T I HAVE ANY WHAT'S UP ICONS- OH WAIT, BECAUSE NO ONE MAKES THEM. BECAUSE NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS SHOW.*
IT WAS THE BIGGEST SURPRISE FOR ME AS WELL??? Like, I may have legit missed out on the BEST SHOW EVER because there's so little talk about it. I came across the poster for several months in my drama search (mostly because I've seen every drama ever by now and my searches have gotten intense and rabbit-hole-y) before I even thought of watching it. And that too because I'd seen so many dramas by then that I was familiar with Kim Ji Won and Im Joo Eun and wanted to see more of them. LIKE HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER REC-ED THIS TO YOU?
OMG, I DIED LOOKING FOR THE SOUNDTRACK, LIKE. ACTUALFAX ~MUSICALS AND STUFF OKAY. HOW TO EVEN DEAL.
NEVER OVER DR ALMOST BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF JH FOR MAKING TY CRY. THAT'S LOVE, BITCH.
THAT SCENE THO. THAT SCENE. Also that time that TY went to the agency and DR was all "chill, she'll be just fine" to the boys and the minute TY actually called, she totally lost it and went all parental like "WHERE
( ... )
MAKE SOME WHAT'S UP ICONS, PRAY. I would but I'm in Singapore atm. ALSO WRITE ME FUTURE!FIC, KTHX.
NO ONE HAS RECCED THE SHOW TO ME EVER. This post is a gift. IF ONLY MORE PEOPLE HEEDED IT.
SO ARE YOU TELLING ME THERE IS NO OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK? CAN EXISTENCE BE SO BASE???
Also that time that TY went to the agency and DR was all "chill, she'll be just fine" to the boys and the minute TY actually called, she totally lost it and went all parental like "WHERE ARE YOU???? DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS????"
DR constantly pretending not to gaf about anyone and then exposing herself is beautiful 2 me. Also tbt that time she declared she'd sit back and enjoy the JH/TY drama but then couldn't help getting all up in their business anyway.
I did love everything that funereal celebration (lol) ending chose to be, tho. Very fitting for a drama that revolved around the ~great big hill of hope~ theme IMO. AND YOU KNOW PROF. SUN WOULD HAVE APPROVED. (NOT THAT THIS MAKES THE OMISSION OF THE FAME PERFORMANCE ANY MORE ACCEPTABLE. *shakes fist*)
