After loving episodes 5 and 6 so much, 7 and 8 of Oh! Master! were just… ughhhhhh.

If Lee Min-ki wasn’t so hilarious (seriously, dramaland, get him a well-written drama) I think I would’ve disliked it even more, but him being so effortlessly funny and the fact that Kang Min-hyuk has better chemistry with him than he does with Nana meant I didn’t hate the whole second lead thing as much as I normally would.

But show is seriously wasting Lee Min-ki and Nana’s natural chemistry, and Joo-in in particular was so wasted this week. I’m glad I have the fabulous Into the Ring to point to for an example of Nana used at her absolute best. Joo-in keeps just going along with everything the guys want to do and I’m waiting for the day where she finally just says, “Uh, no.” It’s clear in every single scene of the show that she sees Yoo-jin as just a friend, and the person she has a natural pull towards is Bi-soo. She didn’t have to choose because it’s pretty clear what her choice already was, even if you ignore the fact that, well, Bi-soo is the male lead.

I mean, come on. Who’s the one she’s kissing and staring at so closely and thinking about when he’s not around? The fact that she thinks she likes both of them in the same way just doesn’t make sense. You’ve known Yoo-jin for 14 years, Joo-in, and it doesn’t seem like anything he has done this whole show has made you feel differently about him now than you have for the past 14 years. Joo-in just seems like much too smart of a person to not realize this.

And all the melo bits that seem like they’ll come in even harder next week… why, show, why?!

ALL I WANT IS JOOSOO.
