1. Wth! Why is Juyoung taking care of a man who almost destroyed his life and abused the person he cares about? From the beginning I thought he looks like a golden retriever but I never thought he’d be like the dog who keeps clinging to his abusive owner. Wake up son! You owe nothing to that abusive a**hole!

4. I am completely flabbergasted right now. I really want to throw hands and punch Dohoe.

   Dohoe has every single right to feel the way he feels towards his father. The man was POS to him and everyone around him. What I am not cool with, is how he is putting up this whole front/wall towards Juyeong and acting like a complete azz. Not only that but we see him being all buddy buddy towards Hyeon Ho. Im not even worried about Hyeon Ho too much since its kinda implied Hyeon Ho knows more than what we do at the moment. He also seems to know the effect Juyeong has on Dohoe. Especially when he asked Dohoe if he was okay to which Dohoe replied no. They couldve very well became good friends again during those 12 years but why are they trying to put on this act in front of Juyeong. This applies specially to Hyeon Ho, this dude is out here gloating his “close” relationship with Dohoe trying to imply they are something more.

   I also found it suspicious that Dohoe would open up a place right where Juyoung lives and works shortly after seeing him after 12 years. 🧐

5. SPOILER… Extended version: That opening scene set us up well for the depressing reality of our MLs… I loved the camera work and cinematography from the start of the episode. The black and white images, listening to our MLs talk but without seeing their faces, really helped vividly narrate what was happening💖 The way Ju Yeong stood in the snow, falling down drunk afterwards – so disheartening – he was going through it🥺 I sure felt that heartache! The fact that Ju Yeong in desperation and hope of seeing Do Hoe again would continue to visit and eventually be by the side of that monster that started all the pain in the first place was just telling about how much he was hurting profoundly and how much in love he still was with Do Hoe😭 The father still a coward, but slowed down by older age. I just can’t believe Do Hoe disappeared for 12 yrs. 12 YEARS?!😭 Ju Yeong never gave up on their love. That’s beautiful and tragic all in one😭 He literally stayed around in that awful town in hopes of meeting Do Hoe again🙇‍♀️

   The decisions they made specifically of the day before and after the entrance exam day changed sadly the trajectory and course of their lives😔 I was surprised to hear this
   
   and then dis gusted to hear this

   What about the parent that beats their child and the neighbors’ kids too. Are they moral? Please?!😏 It’s interesting bc during that convo I got the feeling Do Hoe’s father may have “softened” some after he lost Do Hoe and figured it was good that he had someone taking care of him😏 When he died, I feel like Ju Yeong’s obvious devastation, weeping and falling down to his knees was likely bc the hope of seeing Do Hoe died along with his father’s death. Well maybe that’s what he thought at that moment. Lucky for him, it was actually what brought the love of his life back😭 But when he showed up with his ex-bestie saying
   , you should have seen my face😮😒 It didn’t sound like he knew at first that Ju Yeong had been working for his dad and taking care of him all this time. I can’t believe that one local old man was surprised that Do Hoe didn’t shed any tears for his and the community’s abuser. I didn’t even show up to my father’s funeral. Honestly, he didn’t deserve my courtesy. I’m impressed Do Hoe even showed up. Maybe he wanted to make sure it was true. But I’m thinking, that along with his sudden “freedom” and despite his words to the contrary, he was actually hoping to see Ju Yeong again😔
   Next week’s episode needs to be NOW!🙏

   P.S…. R.I.P? (Sorry, not sorry, I couldn’t resist, I needed a laugh after watching this very emotional episode, lol)

6. SPOILER… Short version: I’M STUNNED! This ep was utter pain!😫😭 He left for 12 yrs?!😮🙇‍♀️ “You have nothing to say to me?”💔 Ju Yeong has WAAAY more patience than me. I would have flipped out at his demeanor and attitude. Even tho we know Do Hoe’s hiding the true pain of their separation period from Ju Yeong😏😔 Is Do Hoe angry that Ju Yeong stayed by his father’s side not understanding that he probably did it in hopes of seeing him again??? I understand why Do Hoe left his father and that town behind bc when you start feeling you can’t control yourself and your emotions to the point that you almost k ill your father with a knife, you should leave before you act on it😓 But why did he leave Ju Yeong (behind)?🤔

   I need that dinner to happen right now!🙏 Because Do Hoe has some serious explaining to do. What does he mean he’d be afraid he’d misunderstand and go looking for him (if he knew he had the tutoring school nearby, NOT living in Seoul all this time, etc.)? WTH?!?!👀 And please tell me that Do Hoe’s ex-bestie is just a co-worker and/or his lawyer helping him put things in order (after his dad’s passing) and not actually something more🙏 Now everything from the moment Do Hoe showed up again to that ending was tough to watch😫 I need answers NOW!🙏🙏🙏 Because I get this

   , I just didn’t get that would include free from Ju Yeong😭 I also find it very interesting that Do Hoe decided to hide in plain sight all those years. He was either keeping an eye on Ju Yeong from a far or secretly hoping to run into him one day🤔 I also desperately need an episode with Do Hoe’s POV.

7. This 4th episode stirs me in ways that I hate most in young romance. A tragic event happened that changed a person altering his path and driving the pair apart. I hate that the pure naive love between the boys is lost. Gone without a chance to recover to reconnect. Gone without knowing what the other person thinks or has been through.

   That phone call gave Juyoung a little hope as Dohoi said he’ll keep in touch.

   It was a heartbreaking memory of snow falling. Juyoung realized the false hope of reconnecting with Dohoi. 😭

   My heart dropped when Juyoung mentioned 12 years had passed.

   Their reunion is a cliche I expected. I resent the third party involvement. I may be wrong, but I want to blame someone responsible for the years of their separation. I hate that Dohoi avoids confrontation with Juyoung, and I hate that former classmate butting in blocking Juyoung.

   And I mostly HATE that I have to wait for the next episode. I need explanations. I need healing.

8. WAIT so Dohoe ghosted him for 12 yrs???? bro.. 😭
   them not talking to eachother is k!lling me omgg the miscommunication aaaa
   I wanna know what happened with Dohoi so badly, and why he didn’t come to see Juyoung in all those years, and he keeps pushing him away 😞

9. I think what hurt the most out of this episode was realizing 12 years have gone by in a blink of an eye. One waiting for the other and the other never making contact. I wonder if Dohoe kept tabs on Juyoung tho.

10. My growing interest in Hyeonho’s character is annoying me. Like why do I have to like guy that is not endgame ugh 😫

11. Oh the trauma!…. Dohoe’s trauma combined with the guilt toward Juyeong prevented him from meeting either of them again- hence the title ….. meanwhile Juyeong is clinging onto anything he can, including Dohoe’s father since he himself has been so elusive…🥲

12. Im sorry guys this has nothing to do with this series
    This is honestly the worst drama I could’ve posted this under 😭
    But I’m just finding out Mew and Tul are Engaged! and I’m so freaking elated and have no one to tell, who’d understand.
    If you’re seeing this after watching the ep I hope it cheers you up a bit. 🫂 *hugs*
    I have to settle down a tad so I can watch it and cry with ya’ll.

13. I’m not even gon lie. I saw ‘and with that twelve years passed’ and I just turned off the video😑

    Twelve YEARS?! This muss be a damn joke. I am not a fan of time skips. If you tell me 12 years passed I expect you to be in a whole different place in your life hopefully striving and doing well in a another relationship🤷‍♀️ Maybe I’m just not a romantic but we suppose to care bout that 5 second high school romance TWELVE years later??👀 Nah son. These bls be testing my patience I swear🙄🤣

    P.S. No I did not read the summary before so I didn’t know.

14. Those three in black suits killed me, they were just 🤌but let me kimchi slap Do Hoe and his (friend?) for ghosting my baby 12 f*ckin years, you better show his POV and you better tell me he is only faking his coldness and get that handsome but annoying bully out of here!
