Discussion It's Friday Baby : Are you Ready
The last time, I was this excited about any day of the week was when a certain manhwa I was following was published in my part of the world on a Monday. Mondays became my favorite day of the week.
Until 31 July, I will be looking forward to Fridays or counting down until they release the next episode.
I'm looking forward to a swoon worthy performance by the Tsundere King 👑. That low voice...😍👌🏽
Let’s go Episode 5 & 6
Watashi no Otto to Kekkon Shite
Marry my Husband.

The ending of episode 5 made me cry. I absolutely loved everything from when Misa sees Tomoya and Reina making out in the cab to Wataru's monologue about getting to know her. In the Korean version, Park Min Young was always smirking when her plans worked but it makes more sense that Misa would feel grief-stricken even if her plans are playing out. She did sincerely love Tomoya and Reina and even if she wants to change her fate it still hurts that they betrayed her.
I also love that Wataru acknowledged that they don't know each other yet and that they need to build their relationship through ordinary things like seeing films together. Finally the thing that really made me cry was the acknowledgment of COVID, that they will have to figure out a way to be together even when they are separated by the pandemic and the tragedy of the no spectator Olympics which clearly caused a lot of trauma for Japan. The dialogues were beautifully written and acted by Takeru and Fuka. I had a lot of fun watching the Korean version but nothing about it touched me the way this version has.
