Episode ended on a cliffhanger. I really don't know if, after the initial kiss, Nabi did have the strength to resist Jae-eon's animal magnetism. At this point, she doesn't deserve Potato Boy either, assuming he takes her after knowing what he and Jae eon have/had done.

Not really convinced that was a confession from Ji-Wan. I think with her immaturity, she's just upset at the possibility that Sol would shift her attention away from her. Sol doesn't have eyes for anyne but her tho, much to the dismay of the boys crushing on her.

Amazingly, the sunbae-hoobae relationship is the one I liked, with the mother even giving them her approval to shack up. (haha... what a liberated mom to allow that for her college son).

I did not like Gyu-hyun's sulking. Why was he even there to begin with if he was just gonna ruin the mood of the party? If he wanted to end things, he should have just done so, without the dark cloud hanging over his head.

That kiss says it all but they need words for the ears to hear and brain to comprehend what is going on between them. I am in for whatever the writer decided to go. At episode 7, I am tired inspecting every strand of their complex story. I just want to sit and watch the train wrech as it happen.

I was nervous Do-hyuk would walk in on them kissing, so I was relieved when he only called, but since Na-bi ignored his call, he's probably on his way back to the guesthouse. When Jae-eon lifted up Na-bi's sleeve to reveal her cut, the fact that he noticed she got hurt was heart fluttering. Do-hyuk needs to stop his cousin's shameless flirting, but I wonder if whom Jae-eon wanted to kiss tonight was really Do-yeon's question.

I was so annoyed at Bit-na and friends for constantly making Do-hyuk take photos for them. He's not your photographer. Ji-wan's drunken confession was so frustrating. I kept yelling, "Spit it out! WHY does she have to only like you?!" Bit-na accused Na-bi of ruining the vibe when in fact Kyu-hyun was the one ruining the vibe. Bit-na tried so hard to placate Kyu-hyun -- making conversation, feeding him, bringing him a sparkler -- but he was still upset and nagged her over everything.

When Na-bi fed Do-hyuk the twisted doughnut, I squeed when he put his hand on top of her hand. I was waiting for her to take a bite after him for an indirect kiss. "Let's eat them later" sounded cute because it implied there would be a later.

A big thanks for the weecap, @missvictrix!

If Jae-eon clarify the " you have a girlfriend" at that time, Would Na-bi believe it? I don't think so. Ja-eon will not go there as he knows that she will be angry again to him after talking to herself. (-_Q)

I agree with you, Missvictrix.

I don't like Ji-Wan, she acts like a cute princess who can have everything she wants. Her confession wasn't cute, she made it about her, again. She can go to a lot of blind dates, but Sol got a cold shoulder if she invented one guy one time... Sol always protects her and defends her and if she doesn't, it made Ji-Wan angry. Their relationship is not healthy.

I want Sol and Kyu-Hyun to find better partners, they deserve better.

Na-Bi thinks that he has a girlfriend but still went for it. So Potato guy should run away and find a girl who knows what she wants!

Too. Much. Staring.

First off, I think Potato is too good for Na-bi. He is the healthier option, but she doesn't deserve him. And while I think Jae-un has some emotional and mental things he needs to work out, I think Na-bi is the more toxic one. Initially I felt a little bad for her, but episode after episode, I no longer feel sorry. If you choose Jae-un, I am fine with that, but if you repeatedly choose him and complain about it, then you first need to look at yourself.

I have no problem with all these morally grey characters, as painful as it is to watch their choice of actions. As long as Show doesn't try to paint them as cute/romantic. I think Show has done well so far because even the 'romantic' scenes still make my skin crawl.

I don't like most of the characters here as in i wouldn't hang out with them in real life. Except for potato boy. Run potato boy, run. Don't get entangled into the shipwreck that is bound to happen.

I agree with too much staring and too little clarification, although I can understand that all the players in the love triangle are too uncertain about who is close with whom just now. Do-hyuk had no idea that there is a rival, but he is learning fast. Na-bi is looking for confirmation that Jae-un is more sincere now, but the mistrust sits deep. Jae-un will have been surprised to see competition and is trying to find out how serious it is. In that situation I found his so called confession falling short. It is good to hear him say that he missed her and is thinking about her, but the elephant in the room is the supposedly girlfriend. Why he thinks that this is not the issue here is beyond me.

The characters that I find increasingly unbearable are Ji-wan who is trying to get Sol's attention with whining, whining and more whining, and Bit-na with her cruel games. For Do-hyuk's cousin I would have the advice not to ask a question, if you do not know the answer. She might have learned now.

This makes it even more upsetting that the best character, Kyu-hun, is written out of the series. The public might be interested in his love life, but it does not serve the public interest to see him punished by the production company. He is not accused of being a bully or of criminal behaviour. He should be able to have a private life. It is also unfair for the other actors who will be written out in these scenes, too.

100% agree with you @missvictrix especially the drinking games and the to-ing and fro-ing of the eyes. It's still looking like narcissism all round. They only "want" each other to validate their own sense of self. It's a bit depressing if this is "real life".

i know they are still you but they are already in their 20s why couldnt they talk about what they want from each other? its almost the leads never had a proper conversation... and i dont care about the ships but i dont think its ok to get intimate in your childhood friend's home..

OMG the staring is accurate, lol. I like Do Hyuk too much for him to be in this list based relationship. He deserves better also Ja eun sir, you really could have said you didn't have a girlfriend, but nooo, you have to be vague. I too don't like Ji Wan or Bit Na, they are both users. Sol and Kyu Hyun deserve better. I feel so bad Kim Min Gwi, his scandal is really none of our business and should have no effect on his character, but here we are.

'So it might be a no-brainer to me, but in the world of Nevertheless, there seems to be nothing more powerful than pheromones.'

Since we are biological creatures, yes, pheromones are powerful, and important. A relationship equally requires the heart as well as the head; it will not be successful if there is an absence of attraction. Also, what appeals to us may not appeal to others, it is different for everyone.

To me it's abundantly clear that Na bi is not attracted (feeling the pheronomes!) for Potato boy in the world of Nevertheless.

I've been liking this show from the beginning. I'm eager to see how the relationship between Nabi and JE will progress in the next episodes. Just one complaint -Can I get more of Jiwan and Sol? Living for this couple. The potato boy is cute though I have this niggling feeling about his motive. He seems like a genuinely kind-hearted guy; I'm not sure he has seen that sculpture of 'Nabi' by her ex-boyfriend, and whether that has possibly done anything to him and how he decided to approach her later.

I am worried the show might go the ‘happy ending’ route. Or did Jae Eon say he wanted to change just to trap Na Bi back? That’s why I am still here. I need to know what his deal is! Is he interested in her more because someone else wants her. Or does he really want to try changing for her.
And it does look like it all started for him in the exhibition. So he saw the sculpture and her.

So are we getting our girls couple?

Where is the wreck? I am waiting.

So. Much. Staring. This ep was like 50% staring from our leads...either jealousy-ly or longingly. The ep was also kind of slow. Hopefully things pick back up next week when they're back at school. I am curious about what Nabi's aunt is going to say about JE and excited about that life drawing scene. Hellooooo model Song Kang. And the most awkward car ride award goes to our three leads. Lol.

Netflix needs to hire better translators. They are getting quite messy with their translations and leave out quite a bit of details. Some more important than others. For instance, a few episodes back when they were playing the consonant game at Nabi's house, Jiwan says "period" and that is why Nabi and Jae Eon exchange a glance. And in this ep, when they're teasing Do Hyeok and Nabi about maybe being a couple after he says she was his childhood crush, the girl with the bob says "like the reply series!" And of course, as I mentioned above, the whole "that's not the issue" mistranslation. Anyways...

I do not understand why JE just won't tell Nabi that Seol-A is not his gf. He had the perfect opportunity to do so when Nabi said he has a gf. But I guess if he did, then the drama and love triangle would be as good as over lol and they need to give the second male lead at least a fair (ha!) chance to win Nabi's heart.

Really curious to see how they're going to cut out gyu hyun's scenes... thought they said they were going to start doing so in ep 7, but doesn't seem like that did. Guess they weren't able to since his scenes were pretty essential in moving the plot and JE along. A d what will happen to Bitna...?...will she essentially just get shafted? Kind of unfortunate for the actress.

Unless that guest house is called Mansari Temple, then istg, JE stalked Nabi and DH back to his inn. I was worried seeing his expressions darken. Will we really have a plot if JE was your standard players who's always detached, cool and uninvolved?

The staring-contest was really fun, and I chuckled to myself every time the camera jumped back and forth at the knowing/ anticipatory glances from our leads! DH and JE sizing each other up, was so funny!

When JE kneeled in the Ferris Wheel to Nabi... he had me for a minute there!.. It was so intense the way he said such a simple line. Bravo acting. On the re-watch, that was also so manipulative, how he waited out for the perfect moment to be in her space outside of people's view, i.e. the fraction of the ride when their car is at the very top of the Ferris Wheel. His 'player' game is *too* good!

Did the preview really hint as this?
JE: 'I saw someone so beautiful here, I fell in love at first sight'. Does he say this line at the gallery?... THE SAME GALLERY where Nabi's sculpture was displayed? EW.

Well, that was a disappointing episode. Many, many wistful gazes, outright 'I AM SO INTO YOU' stares, and sidelong glances of annoyance at 'rivals'. Not much plot progression, however.

Folks seem to be annoyed with JE for continuing his 'play' with NB, but I think he truly wants a relationship with NB. JE is just supremely clueless about how to be honest / forthright / wide open in relationships. On the other hand, NB is deeply distrustful of any guy even remotely similar to her ex-lover, as JE is somewhat similar with respect to supposedly 'seeing other people'.

imo it's not really a decision between who is a "safer" bet for nabi. it's in the connection she has with the other person. and that man just happens to be jaeon. and yeah, their relationship started on sexual terms, but you also can't ignore the moments they connected through non-sexual activities (even if it were just at night and not publicly). regardless of whether they wanted to do it in secret or not, i think the intimacy of those moments just became stronger because of the privacy they had in one another. the emotional connection the two have are beyond the first-love history she has with dohyeok. as much as they both don't want to admit it, they understand one another. the only sucky thing about it is their communication—they keep on hesitating to speak their thoughts which make them have those misunderstandings. nabi ignoring dohyeok's call, pretty much tells who her heart really belongs to. and in the preview, i'm guessing the only reason she doesn't want to hurt dohyeok's feelings is because she still wants to be his friend. it still seems like nabi and jaeon are endgame which i'm all in for. i just kind of hope they clear the air with all the miscommunications they've had this far. the only reason it's been to toxic for them is because they can't seem to say what their hearts are screaming LOL

kinda sad that gyu hyun is getting cut because he was really deep in the storyline. i just hope the scenes they cut aren't crucial to the main leads. oh wells 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love all the angst of this episode! Just loving all the subversion of our expectations. Thinking about it, it doesn't hit any of your typical notes of a drama.

Na-bi and Jae-eon clearly want to be together. Is it "good" for them? I don't know. Maybe they will learn something and they will learn some lessons the hard way. In the preview, it seems like we might have Na-bi with Do-hyuk. He cares about her and she is probably going to date him because he seems like the right choice but not the one she really wants. If that's the case, I think she's just going to break his heart. Sometimes the heart wants what it wants...

The friend group! Oh my god! As I was watching this, I just kept thinking of all of the annoying "cool" people I knew in college who would engage in EXACTLY this kind of awful behavior. Get intoxicated, try to make everyone tell the "truth," and leave everyone feel awkward and some people feeling very vulnerable. They are all playing some really messed up games with each other. The scriptwriters are too accurate!

“Being on Team Potato is rough, not because I’m not used to SLS, but because it makes no sense in this story. Na-bi and Jae-un don’t really have a relationship beyond sex — and that very lack of emotional intimacy is what caused Na-bi to pull away from him in the first place. Does she think that will change so easily?”

It makes sense to me. Na-bi is drawn to Jae-un in a magnetic, chemical way that she can’t (or doesn’t want to) control because it feels good for a while. But, she understands that she’s miserable with the situation overall, and so, seeks out Do-hyuk because he’s the rational choice. Like missvictrix said at the beginning, it’s a choice between head and heart (or, between sex and a real relationship). Na-bi doesn’t think Jae-un will change (which is why she’s spending time with Do-hyuk), she just wishes (irrationally) that he will.

Someone in last week’s thread talked about Na-bi’s need for control, and to get Jae-un to like her (to be the one he chooses above others), to feed her ego. I think this is correct. She’s insecure and doesn’t realize she has power in this situation. I will be disappointed if these two end up together. I think the best thing for Na-bi is to get hurt again and then spend some time on her own, building herself up, so that she will want to go with rational choice relationship in the future.

Three episodes is more than enough to say whatever there is to say about these two. They could easily just keep playing this mind game for a really long time, she teased us with chaos and offers only people lying to themselves and playing with others.

Really loving this drama the more episodes we get. The college setting and everyone's individual story lines has caught my attention. I honestly didn't think I'd get this invested, can't wait for next weeks episode. Check out my thoughts on ep3&4: https://bit.ly/3rT5M92

So the knives are out for yet another attractive and talented actor who will lose this part, and probably his livelihood because of ............SCANDAL!!!! Has anyone noticed that the person who was responsible for all the disgusting stories about Ji Soo has now admitted that they were all made up, and in fact he/she had never met him?? Too late, too late - his professional life is done for. And that brilliant girl who was the FL in Its OK to not be OK .......... the extremely private texts between her and an ex boyfriend, which could have been read in a number of ways, were interpreted as disadvantageously to her as possible. And a number of people who have worked with her say all the stories about her being a diva and unpleasant to everyone are a load of rubbish! Too late, too late, she's lost a lot of sponsorships and probably a lot of parts in dramas.

I shudder to think what this poor man has done! I just hope he isn't driven to suicide, which seems to happen quite often amongst Korean Glitterati.
