Lovestruck by this drama

I have to say that ji chang-wook's character comes off too strong and is a bit much at showing his affection towards her in like such a short time period they've known each other, but honestly he's really cute. Also, somehow the laugh of choi tae-joon's character in Suspicious Partner has become the laugh of jae won.

That bromance moment at the bus stop was too cute.

Woaw every story is connected in ways I didn't expect. OMG THEY'RE PLAYING THAT GAME I USED TO PLAY AS A KID, THAT 5 CARD GAME. SHOOK. That was such an unexpected throwback.

Lol, jae won frequenting that one precinct to cry about the camera thief that stole both his heart and his cameras. I died laughing and the same thing with sun young fighting with her then boyfriend because they need to strip since she bought all of their clothing and since she's breaking up with them she needs it back. I honestly can't, this is too funny. Also, my heart really aches for jae won. My poor bby. My heart truly aches for him because he loved her so freaking much. I'm really crying for him since she continuously stepped on his heart. I'm really beginning to hate that girl and I honestly don't want him to end up with her because she's truly a Bitch. I wanted this to be a happy show, I was expecting this to be a happy show, but instead I'm sobbing like a baby because my heart aches so much for jae won. The girl is really toying with his feelings, giving mixed signals and all. I really hate her. I REALLY WANT TO SLAP HER.

Omg the two exes are really really hilarious.

Jae won's nephew is me and I will be really curious how he will react when he finds out that his friend broke his hyung's heart.

I love how the police station sided with jae won even though he was later against it & everyone in the precinct was like YOU ARE A THIEF AND DUDE WE'RE NOT LETTING HER GO AFTER YOU'VE VISITED US 6 TIMES DRUNK. This is too funny. And now I'm even thinking of dropping it because that BITCH... THAT MOTHERFUCKING BITCH... *insert all the swear words you can think of* THAT BITCH IS EVEN REPAYING HIS KIDNESS OF NOT WANTING TO PRESS CHARGES AGAINST HER BY LYING HE GAVE THE CAMERAS TO HER. OMO I CAN'T HANDLE THIS I'M SO UPSET FOR MY BABY.

Also, the whole reason why this girl ghosted, evaded him was just complete bullshit and nothing can justify what she did. As someone who has hated, despised, loathed herself for years (you name it, I've probably done it) and to be honest I think that's in no way an excuse. Initially I really felt bad for the girl when she said that she hated herself and I was giving her all the benefits of doubt (& I was secretly even rooting for her). But in the end her actions were actually what made me really hate her. I don't even dislike her, no I despise her. I truly don't think she is good person and Jae won honestly deserves 100% better. Obviously jae won isn't 100% guilty free since not only was he a bit too much in the beginning and did he take things to far. However, unlike le bitch those reasons came from not being able to move on, which would have been the healthiest thing but sometimes the heart can't move on. Was it healthy? Nah. Understandable? Definitely, 100% yes. He was also more destructive towards himself than he was bothering her. Besides, that girl herself blurred the lines many times, which made it hard to realise when jae won had any rights to contact her or not. I honestly think that his behaviour was nowhere near as bad as hers.

The is she a man are you a man part killed me. I will never get over this.

Jae won finally got some brains and left her.

Okay, I may have been a bit harsh on le girl. It's understandable that she wanted to escape after what she had been through but that still doesn't make it okay how she treated jae won. Also, lol that life goes on graffiti killed me. ARMIES ARE EVERYWHERE! 

Okay, I am on the way of forgiving the girl but I have to say that I still loved it how jae won got angry at her and gave a piece of his mind. To be honest she really deserved that, not kind of deserved that, just 100% deserved that.

Whahahahahahaha lol I fucking love that crazy high school gym teacher. She's fucking crazy and hilarious and I'm 100% in love with her. Not only was she hilarious when she catched that runaway high schooler (another thing I'll never get over) but the drunk version of her is even the best since she thinks she's some kind of airbender when she's drunk. Geon is also a puppy & honestly I am beginning to feel quite suspicious of rin i. I feel like she's really taking advantage of cute cousin's affection. I kind of feel bad for him since I have a feeling he will propose and she'll utterly reject him. I don't know why but at times she gives me the wrong kibd of vibe.

It is also funny how I've seen almost every main lead in another k-drama.

I am not opposed to them getting back together but I love how sassy jae won is to her and how karma is coming back. It is too funny.

Why do I keep getting annoyed at Netflix for westernizing Korean names. Am I the only one who gets really annoyed at Netflix putting the first names first instead of the last name? The last name is supposed to come first in Korea c'mon Netflix why do you fuck up such tiny simple thing? If I wasn't already determined to learn Korean, I definitely would be now because that ANNOYS ME!

Those three friends are truly the best friends out there. I'm amazed at how both of them by especially rin i didn't get angry when she heard what her friend did to jae won. They are truly good friends to each other. However, I think that cousin will flip out though.

Also, I want the two exes back together since they're perfect for each other & I so knew that precious baby jae won put that locket in the suitcase. Besides, he has really matured since she finally gave him the talk he needed and this is why people should break up like decent human beings to avoid situations like these. At least tell them why you're breaking up and do it face to face just like that weird psychiatrist said. I also love how jae won took a step back since he finally got a reason and basically because he wants her to find herself. HE IS TOO PRECIOUS.

Old me was wrong and a bit too harsh on Lee Eun-O since in the end I quite liked her. I love how I just manage to do 180° turns of feelings in such short time periods. Even I'm baffled at how quickly and unexpectedly my feelings can change. I have quite forgiven Eun O now and really like her, even though her actions were really shitty. Like really shitty. Apparently me don't care anymore, lol. So yeah Lee Eun O rights (but jae won is still the best)!

I'm kind of happy that cousin broke up with rin i. I not only thought and felt that they were breaking apart but both of them have such different goals in life. I don't think they were that compatible anymore. Besides, Rin I's life style was too much. Girl just fucking buy another pair of bedsheets. In the beginning, I didn't vibe with her, halfway through I liked het, by the end I didn't vibe with her anymore. I might even think that cutesy cousin deserved better than her, which he honestly does. It was also not just him that was like uhmm... maybe you should look for a full-time job instead of those part-time jobs. I will also never get over how she glued that fork back togethet. Jesus christ woman just buy a new one & an extra bedsheet that's no freaking waste. At times she was too much.

Jae won's laugh is still that fake laugh from Suspicious Partner and I never thought I had to hear that laugh ever again but here we are. Also, by the end I was incredibly happy that Jae Won and Eun O ended up together because they were cute. I am, however, still mad that those two disaster exes didn't get back together, they really should have. The ending was also one of the most unecpected and random endings, which kind of fitted this show really well. I wouldn't be opposed to a second season of Lovestruck in the city, but I wouldn't be miserable either if there won't be another one.

Lastly, I also understand why I really liked this drama since tge surefire was raspberries for directing it's okay to not be okay & encounter (both shows I loved), and the screenwriter not only wrote romance is a bonus book (one of my all-time favourite kdramas) but also the golden hairpin (one of my most anticipated dramas). It's no surprise that I loved it then.
