@EllenInEdmonton Hmm, I should pick Nevertheless back up. Just looked like it was going places that hurt last time
@mel @JillsJoy @EllenInEdmonton Even though there is tension it's still very relaxed and free from the most formulaic stuff. Nice. Nabi is just stuck in her own preconceptions/trauma/societal expectations.
I'm actually a bit more interested in the Sol/Ji Wan ship as that is a lot more complicated/sensitive.
Nabi falling asleep while camping… just accept that you're 2ML bro. 
Rolling up in the PPL Maserati you just received as you do. Turning up the pressure. Awkward bro roadtrip to the fairs.
Everything and everyone blowing up now. 
IJBOL, said Bit Na looks like STAYC Yoon and now she’s in a bar where ASAP is playing in the background 
Seol Ah always causing trouble. At least JiSol is on the right track.
Bit Na is a riot. The desperation.
… well that's one ship hoisting sails. A few more to go. Some people better hurry t f up to get their stuff in order, only 1 ep to go.
… starting to recognize this city wall.
… yellow umbrella time?!
Well… ok then. 
Writer-nims causing trouble again. Suspect ep 10 is going to be complicated.
… haven't seen Mr White Truck yet either.
Yes, Jae Eon, you should have listened to Gyu Hyeon and stopped playing.
Confirmed, JiSol is the cutest… BitHyeon not far behind. Needed those couples to hold the angst team at bay. 
A bit curious if KPam and KJim in the KOffice are going anywhere too.
The sculpture got hit by the ghost of the white truck.
Seems like Mr Noodle is back in the friend zone. KPam&KJim are basically married, just that no one has told them yet.
Well, everything is sailing.
Would have liked the ending resolved just a tiny bit differently. Felt the later part of the drama was carried by the other couples.
@EllenInEdmonton Yeah, it's quite lazy. A lot of the time preceded by some unnecessarily dramatic trivial misunderstanding just to stretch the episodes.

Pinging in @mel as I understood they have thoughts on the complete show

Aaaanywhooo, after having slept on this and digested it a bit my crazy wild delulu theory is that the real main leads are Sol and Ji Wan. Nabi and Jae Eon are just a really elaborate cover to get past the censors/prejudice. 1/n
They went wild and free with the initial decoy mains to make room for the more "controversial" actual main couple. When the audience has been lulled into a false sense of security in the first half the fake mains get a generic storyline and the actual story can develop beautifully.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk. 2/2 (?)
@EllenInEdmonton @mel IJBOL, reading the intertubes it seems like I'm far from the only one with the same observations. Damn, this* ship has a huge fanclub.

@EllenInEdmonton @mel I don't really know where I'm going with this train of thought. Perhaps it's more a rejection and criticism of societies that create such rigid artificial rules that make persons forsake good things. 😅
*feeling rebellious against norms*
@joakimfors @EllenInEdmonton Not entirely her fault, the mess, right? He also did not want to date bc he did not like the concept, he did not want to label what they had... And wasn't he showing his butterflies to other girls as well?
And on another level: a bit rebellious is always good 😄
@mel @EllenInEdmonton Yeah, he for sure didn't help by being vague and mysterious. But during the not-dating-dating phase he was committed IIRC.
I don't think he himself actually said that he would not date, only other people told Nabi that. Though there was a brief exchange where that could be implied though at the same time not.
(Don't know how much was lost in translation either, might be more clear in Korean)
