I cannot get genuine feelings from him.
I am not sure if it is due to the actor's inexperience, but nothing about him feels real to me. He smiles, he smiles, and he smiles some more. It is a mask that does not let me know a thing about him, and I cannot get on a ship for a couple where I don't know what he wants. Does Jang-Mi like him or does she like the idea of him?
The guy who says everything she wants to hear and does everything she wants. Looking at the way he interacted with women throughout the past few episodes, he is accustomed to catering to what women want, so again that "fakeness" comes across to me. I acknowledge that he does perhaps seem to genuinely like Jang- Mi, but it's again his mask that doesn't let me climb onboard his support vessel.
If that doesn't happen, then you haven't really been raped? Purposely leave us hanging here expecting the inevitable and then crush our hope. Wow, I ended up with so many cut off sentences. I'm just fine with his character's portrayal at this point. I had been im patiently waiting for this recap to come up to vent. Aggressive nods to everything you said.
This is one time I just don't have second lead syndrome. I know there's something wrong with Ki tae's dad after he checked out Jang mi's legs in eps No wonder Ki tae prefer to be alone, just see his parents. I love to see Ki tae's change bit by bit. That guy doesn't even have friends I mean he only hung out with Hoon dong who's supposed to be his friend once in all 7 episodes , it's just so touching to see he's having fun with companies in his apartment.
YWJ's face is so spot on, you can see Ki tae's been lonely all this time and realize it's better to have companies. Anyway I'm looking forward to see what will Ki tae do after realized his feelings. If Yeo rum is out the picture after this episode I will be happier.
Loved this episode, so much good stuff happening and I can't get over the OST and sound effects, so on point and perfect! I think you are all crazy - between the guy who yells at me when I'm upset and it not my fault AND the guy who hugs me and cooks for me The natural thing to do would be to scoop in and just hug her, comfort her and wipe away her tears. I'm thinking that KT actually has a lot to work thru and to learn when it comes to love, coming fr that family he has.
His dad is one shitty bastard, and his mom is rather dysfunctional as a person, and a mom. I feel sorry for him, and am happy that he is opening up under JM's influence. I disagree- I think it shows he has some genuinely deep emotions for her. Everyone's experienced being extremely worried about a loved one and then getting mad at them for making you panic- like when parents yell at their children for getting lost in a public place.
If you don't care about someone, you don't fear for them, get annoyed by them, or get angry at them. It's just like when Jang-Mi went crazy on Hoon-dong at the beginning. Ki-Tae has been purposefully holding himself aloof from people precisely because actually caring hurts and gets really complicated. The fact that he couldn't keep his "cool" a key word for the drama and act like a perfect gentleman in that emergency situation proves that his walls have finally been breached and he now has emotions for Jang-Mi that he can't hide or control.
I think this was the whole point of the episode and a really important theme of the drama as a whole: Real love isn't "cool" keeping up appearances and protecting everyone's face but instead is willing to throwaway pride and be completely vulnerable, honest, and abandoned, even if that means experiencing pain and embarrassment. The point is that he was so upset and concerned that his emotions over-rided doing the "right" thing.
He is just waking up to his feelings and so all that bottled up emotion is spilling out in the wrong ways. I understand very well his yelling. I think we all do. But wouldn't it be nice if he could suppress his worry-induced yelling long enough to just hug her first, is all I'm saying. Yelling releases the worry-generated tension for him. Therein lies the difference. But yelling is more in line with the person that Gong Gi Tae is at this point in the story.
Hugging and comforting is only the natural thing to do if that's the kind of person you are. It would be nice if he did the whole hugging and comforting thing, sure, but it wouldn't be true to his character. Seriously, the girl is a sobbing mess and he knows why but he yells at her. I love GiTae but damn he really needs to learn some people skills.
I put myself in her shoes, I wouldn't like the guy who is only capable of yelling at me when I'm hurt. That's the person he is at the moment; poor guy has a lot to learn. I pick the guy I have a stronger connection with, and I honestly don't feel like her and Yeo-reum have a strong connection at all, especially not compared to our two leads. I think he cares about her more than we think.
He is always trying to protect her Pretty boy is really fun to look at and he's so sweet I look at it as between the guy who was paid to go out with me and lied about it or the guy who tells me the truth no matter how much it hurts. But honestly, however we look at it, both guys got flaws, and ultimately it's not about who's the better person for Jang-mi.
It's not about picking someone.
It's about how you feel. That's why in k-dramas, the second lead always gets kicked to the curb even if he is nicer. It's why the "friendzone" exists. Feelings just matter more when it comes to relationships. I started watching this drama just for the sake of killing time and also because I needed another drama to take my mind off of "Fated to Love You" I'm soooo hooked!!!! I knew that it would have ultimately been Ki Tae who would fall for Jang Mi first. It was lovely seeing him fight that inner turmoil. And now that his feelings are somewhat "out of the bag" I really do hope that in the coming episode s he'll be more proactive.
There's nothing I love more than a smitten male lead who is proactive about his feelings! In regards to Yeo Reum, I find him cute well to be specific I find Jinwoon cute but I honestly cannot resonate with his character nor his relationship with Jang Mi. I feel that everything about this pairing is just rainbow and unicorns.
The relationship fails to convey any depth, making it hard for me to get behind these two. Atlas, for now I will wait and see how Ki Tae will do about his budding feelings and how long it'll take Jang Mi to meet him half way. Ok, now that unlikely bromance has me turn myself on. Who knew that Pretty Boy and Cutie Pie would be besties?
Marriage Not Dating: Episode 7. by girlfriday. There are so many love geometries in this drama that it's a wonder how anyone remains friends. Marriage Not Dating: Episode 8 That lasted less than 7 weeks. have KT drive quite so recklessly in episode 7 on his way to rescue JM.
The threesome tapped into my happy feels and now I'm a happy satisfied camper. I love that Cutie Pie fell for our girl first, and like you said, darlin', he's gonna have to try mightily to convince Jang Mi that he loves her. What an awesome challenge to Mr. Ki-tae is my main man, mostly because of Yeon Woo-jin being so great in this role. But I actually like Yeo-reum - stiff acting from Jinwoon aside.
He's cute and he takes care of Jang-mi and he seems sincere, if a little slow at opening up. If it were me, it would be no contest. If nothing else, he's there when she needs a friend, unlike basically everyone else.
Even though I admit that the value of the company is important - the lesson Jang-mi is slowly learning - they're young and they're having fun and enjoying each other's company; ain't nothing wrong with that. It actually kind of sucks for her that she also has to deal with the fake relationship with awful fake in-laws and the awful ex on the side. Also I find it refreshing that the side pair has a believable potential romance to seriously threaten the main paring - one that's not just leftover feelings from a previous relationship. Anyway, great writing, good cast, and lots of cuteness means that I'm happy.
It's been a while since I was genuinely rooting for the main pairing without wanting the dude to get a lobotomy, so I'm excited to be in for the ride. YR and JM in the real world and without worrying about KT would probably date for a little while and have fun doing so. JM hopefully has learned to protect herself enough that she isn't falling hopelessly, madly in love - but going with what makes her feel giggly, at ease, warm.
