Ahhhh!!!!!! This episode was so frustrating. Those who didn’t want to watch this episode, can just wait till next week. Nothing gets resolved here.

I feel like the dramas been doing a good job of subverting tropes, such as evil secretary actually not being evil. So I’m really really hoping the drama isn’t going down that noble idiocy route with Jun and the new girl. I know for sure he doesn’t like the girl and is obviously doing something for the “benefit” of LL, but I really wish the drama would also twist this for us. If it’s exactly what the preview is showing us, I feel like this is the first major misstep the drama has taken. Hope this all gets resolved by ep 14.

I know it’s a little late in the game, but can I join in this thread as well?! I’ve really enjoyed reading all the thoughtful comments left on this site. @stroppyse it’s really good to see you here!!! I remember you from couple of other threads on different dramas I’ve watched! ive been a long time drama watcher and have mostly been a silent reader, but something about ddsslls has captured my heart that I can’t help but want to post and share my love of this drama! I find the writing incredibly well written and I love how they seem to subvert some common tropes. I agree with everyone’s assessment that the weddings a fake out and it most likely has to do with HY and SG business proposal. I always thought that Juns reaction to rara was too intense for seeing her for the first time and speculated that their connection goes further back than what We have been shown. someone else had pointed out that he shows up in the epilogue when rara loses her wallet and I went to go look back and in episode 9 it totally looks like Juns profile. @Just_Me further confirmed it when she posted this https://www.instagram.com/p/CGwtckVBaR_/?igshid=1owvz6swug1it I wonder if it was just a brief encounter or something more happened? also I usually hate noble idiocy and don’t think that is at all what is happening here. I’ve said that Jun needs to be able to face his current situation and stop running away. Part of that is taking the responsibility of finishing up school or his ged and becoming a “real adult” that can be truly independent and on his own. After this latest time jump im pretty sure Jun is of legal age, so I see no obstacle for Jun and rara to be together now. Just love them!!
