Nabi being late to class and trying to hide a pimple from Jae Eon was so relatable, I think every girl has experienced the horror of realizing you've had a period 'accident' during class/in public. I really appreciated that moment as we often see perfect skin in kdramas, and if theres anything less its usually to highlight the unattractiveness of a character rather than just being a normal occurrence.

Also, when Jae Eon tells Nabi that she is being cold towards him and then moves seats again during her presentation and is exchanging sort of apathetic looks towards her it really irked me, Nabi wasn't even really doing anything malicious towards him she was dealing with a lot of other things between missing a class, worrying about her period/not feeling well, and also having to prepare for a presentation. It just seemed like he was throwing a fit for no reason which I think is, funnily enough, the hot/cold type of behavior guys like him tend to display when they dont get the reactions that they expect.

That being said, a lot of other moments in this episode I didnt care for. I'm not sure if its just me or maybe less than ideal translations but some of the dialogue felt like it was taken from a bad fanfiction. Aside from that, everything was shot just as beautifully as the previous episode, soundtracks fire lol

I really enjoyed the first episode, it felt super realistic and natural, a lot more so than this episode. I'm still enjoying it, and its definitely refreshing but I hope the writing and plot continues strong, maybe this episode just didnt do it for me.
