DYLB #9
First of all, the title of the episode was very apt (Dolce = Sweet), I got cavities watching the cute beans. They’re precious, but that’s for another post. Now? I have to rant.
(Pls check the reply cause it quite long and spoilery, ofc, if you interested ;))
I have a feeling I’m gonna regret this rant, but I’m angry and I need to let it out, so if you excuse me:

    I’ve had it up to HERE with all the awful people in JY’s life. Like I get that they all had their own problems, but why is everyone’s acting like JY is their punching bag? He just took it without complaining and those people thought it was okay to treat him like trash???
    I mean, they’re either bitter and resort to take out their frustration on JY, or blame him for their problems.

    1. The first offender is of course Sourface girl, who decided out of nowhere to turn JY’s life upside down, because apparently she realized she could never reach his place? Or something. What made me laugh was her saying “It’s my business” after JY asked her to set the fact straight to HH. Like seriously woman, you still had no idea how much of a mess you had left JY with? How you practically had ruined the one meaningful friendship he’d ever had, the one he tried so hard to preserve for the last 10 years??? You still thought this was about you???
    Actually that’s about it for her, she didn’t get on my nerve too much other than that. She actually took the jjoonssong couple dating news pretty well, so there’s some growth there, I give her that. And she was miles better than these two below.

    2. Professor Yoo, I probably need some time to think about him, but for now, I’m irritated. Like I get it professor, I understand that you’re frustrated that people think you amount to nothing without JY, but that’s not his fault okay? I also get that JY can be a little wishy washy sometimes, but couldn’t you just try and be a nurturing teacher just for a little bit? What’s with the emotional abuse? And to think he still not willing to bad mouth you to anyone ever.

    3. The real trigger for me this episode was HH though. Like I get it, he was heart broken and he still devoted Sourface very much, well good for him, whatever. I mean I barely care about Sourface so why should I care if he still loves her or not. But other than that, you know what he was? A sh*t friend.
    Ugh, I’ve been trying to sympathize cause he had it hard with the break up, so I gave him a pass when he told JY to leave the country, but he really, really tried me this time.
    Like I’m sorry dude, but JY’s relationship was for him to decide, who did you think you are, berating him for announcing it to the world? Why the hell did he have to value you ex’s feelings over his own and his actual girlfriend??? If anything, that woman should have been the first one to hear about it, so she knew when to stop.
    I mean what’s with this attitude like this is all JY’s fault? Your relationship failing has nothing to do with him, if you have a problem, take it to the one who did wreck it, which is your ex, who you, for some reason, still desperately trying to protect? And you are being nasty to the guy who, after listening to you asking him to leave the country, still cared about your fan’s freaking settings at night!!! You think you can walk all over him just because he takes it without saying anything??? *headdesk*

      I couldn’t for the life of me remember when is the last time this dude was actually acting like a supportive friends, he either telling JY to leave the country or berating him for his relationship problem. The only time they actually talked was when he had this face of “I’m only tolerating you now cause your mom is in the hospital”. I tried to understand him then because he probably felt betrayed cause he thought JY and JK had done something behind his back. Come to think of it, if he was truly JY’s friend, he would have known that JY would never do anything that despicable!
      Idk, this friendship felt very one-sided and it’s bothering me so much.

      No wonder jy doesn’t know how to share his problems, no one has ever encouraged him before, cause these people? Apparently, none of them give a damn.
      I would like for him to just cut all these breed of people loose (may be keep Director Cha, she’s an angel), but he won’t because he cares about all of these awful, awful ppl, he needs them, cause they’re all he has. So he just takes all of their cr*p, probably thinking he deserves it. God, if anyone on or off screen ever chided him for anything, I swear I will freaking lose it.

        (Those three are not the only ones, but I’m so tired right now so I probably will bitch some more later if I have the time). Gosh this drama has it fair share of awful, awful people.

          For starters the Professor Yoo flashbacks were extremely confusing. At one point I was lost and didn’t know if this was the present or the future. But I take it as bad editing. Nonetheless, he’s a jerk for taking out his insecurities on JY. You’re a grown man, sir.

          Yes though! How is JY a magnet for all these toxic people!? I’m most disappointed at HH though. The person who was his “friend.” Last week I thought he was being a better person and I was this close to rooting for him. But he’s a terrible friend and completely disregards JY’s feelings/thoughts. Like bro, if JK isn’t up in arms about JY dating then why are YOU? *flips table*

          Also, how sad is it for JY to say he never shares his troubles because that won’t fix them. How jaded and abandoned has he lived that he thinks this way? Sharing one’s struggles, 95% yes I just made up that number but you get the idea of the time is simply for solidarity. Just having someone say it’s going to be okay and supporting you gives you the strength to keep moving forward and to look positively towards the future. Give JY a break.

          And get Professor Duster away from Song Ah.

            Yes, SA might just be the saving grace for JY, finally he’s found someone who cares enough. I will cry the moment he does it.
            Haha, Professor Duster, I’m going to call her that from now on.

            The flashbacks were confusing too, had to rewatch those scenes twice to get it. It was just thrown to us without any heads up.

            All of your rants @stberry are spot on right. HH is the worst of them all, at least prior to the flashback of the prof. We already know most of the professors in the school are trash so it’s no news but I don’t think anything can redeem HH for me at this point.

            Professor duster should open a cleaning service that’d be better profession for her😄, she’s just as horrible to all the students I guess like when Hae na was with her also. I just hope SA is able to escape that POS soon.

          This is why I can’t watch the show. There are just too many toxic people and our leads have nowhere to turn too because both of them are dealing with shitty friends and shitty professors. Its just too stressful.
