Little contradictory

Na-bi just got out of a relationship. Then she says she has lost faith in love and destiny, yet she goes out of her way to stalk that guy, waits for his message at night, and is practically obsessed with him. These are not the characteristics of women who don't believe in love. I do understand attraction and all, but in that phase, she should be wary of his every action and won't give in that easily.

Edit: (nearly done with ep2) Maybe I am more uncomfortable about the situation due to the similarities it shares with my personal behaviour. I think the entire scene is not sitting right for me coz it's reminding me of things I do and feel when it comes to love and romance.

Emotional; Anxious

This episode had me all over the place because I didn't know what to expect even though I had read the reviews. I thought it was going to be terrible since it had low ratings but it was different once I gave it a try. Storyline/Plot: I liked how in the beginning you can already get a idea of what the drama was going to about. It was a very subtle introduction of the main character as she is narrating the whole episode and what is going on within her head as things are happening. Also, I liked the back and fourth between what happened back then and what happening in the present. I love the cinematography of the drama, it gives this very realistic but interesting effect of the drama. Everything was carefully planned and shot as well. I liked how they explained why Nabi has this negative view on love and the root of where it came from. A lot of things she says are very relatable in some many ways leading up to when she meets Park Jae Eon. As she hangs out with him, she starts to get annoyed with him. Which leads up to the hurt and trust issues she starts to have as results of her past relationship.Actor/Cast: I think Han So Hee (Yoo Na Bi), she played her character well as a innocent but naïve character. It was nice since she also looked the part by her hairstyle and her wardrobe. Song Kang (Park Jae Eon), he also did extremely well, the moment he came on screen I knew the type of character he was from the moment. Everyone else did well as well delivering their lines and portraying their characters well.Music: The music was also really good since it gave this chill but smooth vibe to it. Their wasn't any songs that I felt was out of placed nor terrible.

Realistic but it made me want to pull my hair out.

I can't really pinpoint which aspect of the episode annoyed me the most. I know for a fact that I like the actors, especially Han So Hee so I thought maybe it was the story. I never read the webtoon so I had no idea what to expect from the show. I did like the ambiance that the show gave and it felt like I was watching an indie film at times because I didn't notice a lot of sfx except for that one viral song from tiktok. Anyway, I also had a hard time liking the lead characters. Some of Nabi's actions were so frustrating and Jae eon just came across as a pretentious fuckboy. NEVERTHELESS, I thought that it made the show more realistic because that's just how people really are at times. They make questionable decisions in order to (find themselves or) get laid.

non-linear format done wonderfully

i enjoy the vibe already, the realness. i won’t address the criticisms of the main characters because it’s based off source material and also, it’s fiction guys, there have been more morally corrupt main characters. anyway, it’s each to their own! but i thought this was intriguing as a first episode and it’s serious but it’s not boring to me. so, i enjoy the art-college vibes. already the main characters oddly give me a skins (uk) vibe with the large college group but focus on main characters. i’m sure that’s a very random comparison, also, there’s no drugs in here duh, maybe i thought of skins due to the excessive cig smoking though and college setting. anyway, it’s interesting and i’m going to keep watching! i think as her first fl role (*i think) the main actress is doing very well and natural at a shy character, she’s very likable and pitiful at the same time. the editing and storytelling is very enjoyable so far. looking forward to more.
