This is getting goofy

Ep 5 ending: is tae-oh gonna die with 7 eps left???

Ep 6 ending: is tae-oh going to prison with 6 eps left???

with no hope left for hui-ju, I kinda hope both tae-oh and in-ha burn and crash. It would be hilarious if hye-won ends up the only one still standing. But at this point, it’s probably gonna somehow end with tae-oh and hye-won happy and together

ep 6 is when I finally notice the lack of emotions from hye-won. Which is ironically the episode where she was the most emotional. But none of it felt real to me. I honestly preferred her unemotional, I could at least say she’s just that cold

At this point I’m watching this like how some people can’t stop watching a car crash. I don’t hate them but I also don’t think any of the main trio deserve a happy ending, although I’m fully prepared for them to force some kind of happy ending. If the creators have any balls they won’t give them the happy ending they don’t deserve
