8.0/10 - Joo Gyung is FIERCE!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I am so conflicted about this episode. On one hand I freaking loved it beyond reason! But then all of a sudden it did a huge no-no for me.

Watching Su Ho fall even more for Joo Gyung had me fangirling so hard. Just the thrill of watching a ML awkwardly falling. Not knowing what to do or how to handle his feelings. Both of them equally floundering.

This is also a huge episode for Joo Gyung. She faces her fear of asking someone out again. It can't be said enough how strong and brave she is. After the brutality of what happened the last time. Not only that when she sees another girl going through what she did she steps up! Joo Gyung is fierce!! Not only throwing a bucket of water on the bullies, but helping the "ugly" girl with her make up. (AND I KNEW who she had to be!! Someone's little sister. Hmmmmm? I wonder whoms!!!!)

Lim Hee Gyung is fiercely trying to pursue her teacher! I love that she doesn't care what he does. She finds everything he does adorable. Ahhhhhhh!! I love a good side romance. I haven't addressed it in other episode reactions, but I also love the couple that had their anniversary. It's just fun to see other romances and how they love.

So. My big no. It's when a male lead leads the female lead. He gives all the signals that he likes her and she makes the move. Then to protect her he gives her the cold rebuff. *groans* I just. Urgh!!!!!!! Why! I hate it! Freaking hate it!! I know Su Ho isn't ready to share with her yet, but still!!!!!!!!!!!

My fierce Joo Gyung still steps up and comforts Su Ho when he clearly has a panic attack and emotional break down. Despite what he did to her she is there. Bravo. I want to give this episode negative a million for that terrible trope of the girl getting the cold shoulder, but everything else in this episode is beyond awesome.

I'm all for protecting someone when they…

I'm all for protecting someone when they need it, I guess ... but there are times you should really just tell someone especially since they will find out any way. I liked this guy at first but the fact that his idea of "protecting" her was to give her the cold shoulder then insult her saying he "pitied" her was fuckboy level bullshit.
