guys what’s so wrong with dating before having feelings .. dating is not being in a relationship it’s for getting to know each other first before committing to a relationship .. i think they both have the right attitude and if they Do have chemistry / can develop chemistry they have ultimate green flag couple potential

damn isaac ml fr?….. he’s literally the most boring candidate to me… i dont dislike his character or anything but i feel like he fits well in a platonic role.. they literally have no chemistry to the point where when she kept on getting flustered around him i swore there was gonna be like a love potion/mind control arc … i voted kersten because a) doesnt even quite need a redemption arc because even his one ‘betrayal’ is sus af and there’s clearly other things going on in the background of her first life, and ultimately the reason she dies is because her brother ordered her execution, kersten random treason was just a triggering event b)long haired ml c)his character is in the sweet spot between typical foxy flirt ML and puppy ish second lead type.. the man’s got layers.. got depth… got issues.. got feelings d) long haired ML

I feel sad that I agree with you kinda like yeah it's obvious that they bear feelings for each other but like when I saw them getting flustered around each other IT FELT SO RANDOM AND OUT OF PLACE!!! Like dang that kind of interest just came out of nowhere!!! There's like no natural flow of their feelings developing it was just too sudden I won't mind if they end up together but like the development was not there and the pair feels so dry. I just hope they become more interesting at least

Totally agree with your hot take on Isaac!! He's so much better as a platonic friend than a love interest. The blushing and stuttering was so unnecessary and I wonder if it's just a by product of the rumors being spread,,, like getting all self conscious of some one after hearing they might like you or something. Love that he approached Ophelia to be her confidant though. Girlie pop needs friends
Philip/Nau I think is kind of fulfilling that platonic friend role ATM??? But their power imbalance (with her "holding nayu hostage" and her ordering him to assist her self exit) prevents him from being a true friend and or an ML imo???
Idk how to feel about Kiersten as a ML tho.... He's giving yandere energy rn and NGL,,, not my cup of tea. Respectfully I see the appeal and I like the theory that he might also be a transmigrator and is doing his best to make up for his past life... In a very sussy baka way.
I just hope Ophelia has more bonding moments with Ruth

honestly this is one of the few age gap bls where i feel like the age gap is really explored and not just thrown in for the forbidden appeal~ .. like specifically w ahjussi .. he’s not just the strong and silent seme type, his maturity and experience is really apparent. like how euijoon thought that this was just a fwb situation but ahjussi is someone in his (?? i forget exactly) late thirties.. if he’s going to enter a relationship it’s a serious endeavour not the kind of flings more common in your early twenties. and when he figured out his feelings, he communicated it straightforwardly. no room for misunderstandings; but he also is aware of how euijoon is in a different stage of life from him + euijoon still struggling with unresolved feelings, so he doesn’t confess with the intention of getting an answer. he just wants euijoon to know that the option is there, should he want it. so like half of the annoying bl tropes (having a crush but never saying shit, miscommunication, missing your chance w someone, leaving a relationship ambiguous etc) never have a chance to manifest… ahhh i’m so satisfied so far.. i hope euijoon learns to actually ask instead of just overthinking… and that he learns that just telling him the truth instead of what he thinks ahjussi would want to hear (like what happened w his forehead) is always better
yesssssss this is what ive been dreaming of.suzu-chan is sooo cute and a convincing dom-S.. We need to crowdfund her a strap i know she could put it to good use
