    And that conversation about when they started liking each other. These 2 are so honest, its so refreshing!
    And finally it was good to see Mirae give in and enjoy the moment.

      And when he said he liked her scent….. TT________TT I honestly wish the perfume plot was more integrated in the drama. It shaped Mirae in the webtoon, and she doesn’t fuss over which perfume to use when she’s with Kyungsuk cuz it’s always this scent she’s reminded of him. He told her he hated perfume in general, hated that scent she wore, but as time passed, when somebody asked what type of girls he’s into – he said a girl who wears perfume!!!! I thought it was so sweet.

      Either way, this was a lovely touch in reference to perfume.

        I was half-expecting him to call her out for not giving him a candle yet! our boy is petty. he knows WY sunbae got one..
        am impressed he is being calm about it!

          Honestly I won’t be surprised if he’s a changed man now, and doesn’t do petty stuff anymore. He’s finally got the girl and nothing could make him get jealous of. Well I can hope!

        Ah is that how it went in the original webtoon! That is super sweet. I do prefer the subtle changes they’ve made in this drama version though. I guess their first and foremost reason to personalise the perfume was for PPLs sake lol, but luckily it works on multiple levels.

        1. Fact that DKS first associated that particular scent with his mother, and therefore was something he rejected. I thought it a nice way to re-connect these (once lost) souls together again; I like that the scent remained with them through their bitter past all the way through to their present state where they’re now comfortable and at peace with one another. It ties back nicely to what the mother said during her lecture bout the scent always being a lingering presence through a person’s life journey.

        2. The convo between WY and MR regarding how the scent changes to become its own unique scent when applied to a person’s skin is nicely linked too. I ❤️ that what lingers with DKS is not just any perfume, but MR’s own personal scent which changes according to the perfume she wears.

        3. Just like how he identifies her through her scent, it makes sense for MR to want to choose a scent which she’d personally identifies with DKS. Although I was hoping the scent she gives to him would be one personally made by her – but either way, ha, the ppl totally works in the writers’ favour! Overall, I am loving how they’ve incorporated scent as a factor which ties all these different characters together. Thoughtfully done!

          This was nicely put!

          Honestly I barely noticed the perfume’s presence in the drama (ironically!!!), but now that you’ve listed all this, it did incorporate the scent (be it perfume or the candle) in its own way. So thank you!

          I was hoping Mirae also make a scented candle for Kyungsuk, but I guess gifting him a scent he can wear when he is with her works better, as both their scents will complement each other too!

      I seriously love LSH’s change in expression during the backhug scene – you can trail the exact moment she simply eases into his embrace. It was a nice contrast to all the times she was left feeling anxious lest someone discovers them. Beautifully done! ❤️

    They’re so sweet and so innocent. I`m not even upset that I haven’t seen a kiss. Like, I`m just proud of these little changes in their relationship – holding hands, now backhug. They look so in love and happy.

      It’s just that they both understand each other so well and care for each other so much, nothing else matters. Even after she confessed, he sat next to her leaving ample distance between them. They were just happy knowing they both like each other.
      I like that KS is being assertive in making some moves – never letting go of her hand, hugging her.. She is not going to make any initiative in this, so am glad our boy knows what they both want!

        Yessss soo agree that he maintains personal space. That scene before they got caught by his mom, I thought he moved to get closer to her. But nope, he moved to touch her arm and assure he’s not mad. like…….

        LOL. He def is taking the initiative. nothing’s gonna happen if he doesn’t. freag, I remembered that first scene he was like “Should I do some research.” hah

          I love that at each momentous occasion that KS and MR grow closer together, we visibly see DKS let out a contented sigh. It’s such a lovely directed touch! Like the fireworks scene, when she declares her feelings for him, when they first held hands, when he’s able to keep a firm hold of her hand this ep, and of course during the backhug scene. It’s ever so subtle, but you definitely see how at ease DKS is during these key moments. ❤️

            Ohhhhh TT_____TT

            I love it!!! All these little things!!! I just re-watched them now. They’re so beautiful – he’s suffocating with happiness, he needed those deep breaths.

            “DKS let out a contented sigh”
            well, the boy has been trying for an entire year! He cherishes every moment.
