Hyejun: Oh no I forgot someone! 🥺

*Dad jumps up in his seat stupidly hopeful*

Hyejun looking dad in his eyes: I want to thank you....my manager I couldn't do this without you. 😍 Those eyes move to his manager, gives her that gaze.

Ngl, the second half of 2020 is just me clowning for all the kdramas.

First, Record of Youth breaks my heart. Then Dodosolsollalasol crushes it. As if that's not enough, Private Lives throws it into a dumpster and tells me I'm a loser.

Another week of episodes that have missed the mark for me *sigh* for a show that does realism pretty well lately it has been anything but. My biggest issue this week is Jeong-ha and coveting fake friend puffy face Hye-hyo, they are barely friends and if they want us to believe they are friends, how about having them interact without Hye-jun there because thus far I see no relationship until they try to force it (that car scene ugh, I cringed the whole time). Despite this lack of any real foundation for friendship, Jeong-ha leaves her boyfriend who just won the biggest award of his career after struggling for years to comfort a man she barely likes???? What?

What should have happened:

Hye-hyo: You're really going to say no again?

Jeong-ha: Yes. Not just yes, but hell yes. Don't you have any other friends?

*Skips to Hye-jun with kisses and flowers*

And furthermore, after guilting her into having this pitiful dinner with him, he says that he came because he can't say no to her... what? Sir, do you have selective amnesia?? You coerced her to be here!

There is no universe where it makes sense for a girlfriend to abandon her boyfriend on his biggest day to console the crazy client who can't take no for an answer. Hye-hyo did need someone to comfort him but it 67786543% should not have been her.

Special shout to the MVP: Jin-woo 🏆

For honestly telling Hye-hyo that he only has an issue with the comparison now because he's on the short end of it, never had an issue when Hye-jun was the one who was being belittled. Then further shattering him by saying that Hye-jun didn't even have time to be jealous because he wasn't living a rich cushy life provided by rich parents. The reality check he needed.

Record of Youth (2020) Episode 7.
