Thanks for the weecap, been loving this drama so much. Which is such a big surprise to cuz I remember thinking after the first episode that I would drop it like hot potato lol (didn’t care about the set up or cha eun woo’s wooden acting). Glad to report all my biases were broken and shattered to pieces by this lovely drama. Even my aversion to pretty boy’s robot acting got settled esp after the scene with su ho’s dad. That was very very good acting by cha eun woo, boy’s learning and doing well, bless his handsomeness ❤️

I will hope that Joo-kyung will be back to winner by defeating against her old own ugly face in the end with total right makeup. Also, I want her ugliest female classmates to go to hellish places if she will be fighting.

I knew that during episode 11, there was a male funny guest character named Columbus Park, I knew it's already existed as one of the true and real Manhattan (NY) famous parks.

Thank you for the weecap @missvictrix!

I just wanted to say, I love Ep.11 and 12 because a lot of scenes of Soo-ho and Seo-joon together.
Mending broken friendship melts my heart...
And I love Hwang In-yeop... Hope this drama opens a lot of doors for him!

Thanks for recapping. I continue to watch this show for the nice fluffy comedy and meta. I continue to enjoy the silly hijinks like hiding under the bedspread. And then everyone runs out to see Yeo Ha Jin, the nation's first love! They didn't show her though, so I was bummed about that. Maybe they couldn't afford to pay an actress to play her.

I also continue to enjoy Ju Kyung's teasing of Seojoon. How she can make a rawr always so cute is beyond me.

The drama part, or the part where JuKyung's real face comes out is quite harsh on the poor girl. I personally think that SooAh will come to her senses eventually, and prove that she's a true friend. Ju Kyung can't only have male friends, she needs some sort of bestie to keep her sane. I think that she will find the courage to stand up to Se mi and be happy in her own skin, and she can happily enjoy horror comics and ramyeon with Suho at Prince's comic books by the end of the show.

This drama continues to be delightful every week.
So glad both guys have mended their misunderstanding, and the bromance is so awesome.
Another unforgettable scene is the Joo Kyung, Hee Kyung "double date" meal, it is absolutely hilarious.
And I absolutely love love love the meta on Yeo Ha Jin, the top actress getting much attention at the hospital. So much so, I actually started a rewatch of Find Me In Your Memory. I can very well imagine Joo Kyung to be the younger self of Yeo Ha Jin.

Thanks for the weecap, @missvictrix! I'm really loving this show. The morning that Soo-ho was going back to school but instead picks Joo-kyung up at home so they can come to school together, it made my day! I hope JK's present school mates will not be the same as her former ones. With her winning the 'face' of the school without even trying (actually saying she didn't join the contest) is an act of humility that the bully girl will never realize - that JK has more than enough friends to be by her side, plus the Soo-ho and Seo-jun.

I'm here for Soo Jin's transformation. I love what they are doing with this character and the actress is breathing life into her. She's so complex and texture. This turn to the dark-side might be a little cliche but you can't stop your heart from breaking for her. You know the potential she has. You know she's acting out because she wants to feel in control of something in her life. This poor baby is so broken for her.

Seo-joon is such perfect friend, brother and son :) I find him adorable when he goes to his sister's work to get home together.

I'm sad for Soo-Jin she was such a good friend. I understand why she acts like that and it's sad the only person who knows her problem is Suho.

It's pretty recurrent. They said they are best friends but at the end, they all hide their insecurity to each other. Soo Jin didn't tell to IJK and Choi Soo-A her father abuse, IJK didn't show them her "ugly" side.

I guess Choi Soo-A will feel betray because she tells them everything and they didn't...

Thank you for a cute recap :) Loved reading it . Such a nice feel good drama . Joo-kyung is such an adorable female lead!

Am I the only one thinking maybe Sooah feeling betrayed has something to do with her finding out JK dating SH behind everyone's back as well? I mean the online article had a photo of JK kissing SH at the hospital too if I'm not mistaken. And even from the little glimpses they showed us there's no mistaking it was SH and JK.. If I were to find out my closest friend was dating behind my back all the while i was trying to set her up on multiple blind dates, I would be pretty hurt too.. At least that's what I hope for because I love SA-JK-SJ friendship too much.. Fingers crossed SJ will come around too!
Speaking of friendships I loved how Seojoon looked horrified when Suho asked if he was planning to confess to JK, and even how SH kind of seemed to feel bad seeing SJ after the video call with JK!
Hi everyone! This is my first comment ever here on DB so I hope I made no mistakes 🙈
Thank you very much for your weecaps @missvictrix.. After watching the drama your weecaps are the only thing that keep me going the rest of the week! ♥️

As much as I don’t like this direction for Soo-jin, I can accept it.
--- Me too :(

I wonder if Soo-jin knows Soo-ho is aware of Ju-kyung's no-makeup face? If she did, would she have done what she did?

I agree with @missvictrix that why the fact that JK used make up to cover her bad skin is such a big deal. And basically how can the friends feel betrayed??? How can they be called friends when if they loved her only because she is beautiful? It's good that both SJ and SH like JK for who she is. It's also sad to see Soo jin turning evil. She betrayed her friend and the interaction between her and SH while she burned the necklace was so cringey to watch. I can understand her need for desperate control on life but that's not an excuse for what she did. I hope the writer find a way for her heal herself and realize her mistake before the series end.

And loved how the bromance is back. It's such delight to watch them sorting all the issues .

i was so sad and happy this week with the turn of the episodes. I loved the mending of friendship and all the cute scenes between our male leads. The betrayal wasn't a shock, but i knew it had to happen but it still hurt. The fact that soo jin can lie so well and even says that she likes JK cause she is warm and friendly ect, but will destroy her if she can't have what she wants, is so evil and two faced I agree that i didn't understand why people were so upset over makeup not everyone in that school has model good looks and they are mocking her??. I was disappointed with her "friend" soo-a how shallow is your friendship that looks can break it. I am thinking she is more hurt that Jk didn't trust her and tell her first and she will come around and maybe even ask for makeup tips!
I am hoping that since she has the loyalty of the most popular boys they might help soften some of the ridicule and everyone can be less shallow and she can learn to love herself, and the backstabber will get whats coming to her.

Thanks for the lovely weecap as usual, @missvictrix. It's always such a pleasure to read after watching the equally lovely drama.

I love each week's juxtaposition of cute, hilarious and those heavier themes you mentioned. It is done so well. Regardless of the direction the drama takes, I always find myself smiling at the end (apart from last week's cliff hanger, that is).

I suspected the scandal was going to be massive because of the big deal they made of the beauty/popularity contest. Hopefully, Soo-ah (and the others) will calm down and be the friend we know she can be. Soo-jin, on the other hand, I am not too sure about. That scene where she tried blackmailing Su ho into breaking up with JK and dating her instead was so pathetic, I almost felt sorry for her.

Joo-kyung's 'Rawr!' never ceases to be one of the cutest things I have seen in dramaland. Every single time! Moon Ga-young is fabulous in this, as is the rest of the cast. I can't wait to see how the plot progresses.

I absolutely love Seo-Joon! its not SLS really, I just like him as a character. He is so much fun. I love that he looks like a slacker/prickly last bencher giving out bad boy vibes, but such a marshmallow who wears leopard print boxers!
I love how he handles his feelings.

For those who've read the webtoon, is the show nearing the part untouched by the comic yet? It's gonna be an angsty week but I'm not that worried for Joo-Kyung. She has a lot of loyal people by her side, what with Soo-ho and Seo-joon in the frontlines, and I'm pretty sure at least Soo-ah and her bf in less than an episode's run.

Soo Ho and Seo Joon finally making up was nicely done with the mix of serious and comedic moments. I wasn’t too invested in Se Yeon’s story and his connection with the guys tbh. But it really hit me when Soo Ho read his letter.

*sighs* Seo Joon is such a great, thoughtful guy. He’s crushed that Joo Kyung doesn’t have romantic feelings for him, but he doesn’t cross the line. On the other side, Soo Jin is becoming more and more terrible. I honestly believed her during the early scene when Joo Kyung confessed that she was dating Soo Ho. She looked sincere and accepting of the truth. But man, she is sinister now. All her mean looks and calculating actions. I could imagine sweet Joo Kyung forgiving her, but I’m not sure I want her to. At least not right away. Soo Jin would need to be remorseful of what she did. Joo Kyung’s secret had to come out eventually, but not in the cruel, widespread way that Soo Jin orchestrated.

I’m glad Soo Ho knows Soo Jin’s true feelings and clearly declined them. Joo Kyung and Soo Ho still need to work on communicating and talking about Soo Jin and her effect on their relationship.

The sisters’ "double date" was cute and funny. Loved how they grilled each other while fiercely keeping up with the cooking and barking orders. XD

At one point, it looked like Joo Kyung was using acne medication so the drama showed she is working on treatment, not just cover up via makeup.

It look me a whole week to sit down and watch Episode 12 because I knew it would cute + horrific for Ju-kyung. Alas, I don't feel sorry for her at all. Unpopular opinion, but I don't think she's the nice angel that both guys like. They way she snapped at that other bullied girl and gave her the cold shoulder every time did not sit well with me. I get that she can't forget how the other girl participated in the bullying act, but c'mon, she was also being bullied! What I'm saying is, Ju-kyung has done nothing but try to hide her real self all drama. Her instinct was always to flee. However, when confronted with someone weaker than herself who knows the truth, she practically bullied that girl into silence.

I am frustrated because, as usual in kdramas, the heroine's development is going nowhere unless prompted by external forces (scheming second lead, etc.). Ju-kyung has repeatedly looked in the mirror and pondered why she is afraid to show her real self, and then she just keeps hiding and making others hide the secret for her. Compare that with Su-ho's knitting therapy and how the bromance has developed with honest conversations and it's just... ugh.
