It's nice to see you all.

MY LITERAL FAVORITE TROPE EVER.

My woman.

and it somehow extra works because seo ri doesn’t instantly become the adoring girlfriend. she’s wary af still so when he does some romantic shit she’s not automatically swooning. she’s similarly going “what am i doing falling for this guy” but can’t help herself, either. so then there they both are, pissed off at themselves and each other for feeling the way they do, and it brings them closer together every time.

"I’d burn the world for you, but you’re asking me to burn the wrong one."

"Don’t mistake my love for agreement. I will not stand beside you in this."

"You’re still my heart, but right now, you are also my enemy."

"I swore to protect you, not to help you ruin yourself."

"You disgust me, but no one deserves what they’re doing to you."

"If anyone’s going to destroy you, it’s me. Not them."

"I’d sooner spit in your face than call you friend, but I will not watch them gut you."

"Don’t read too much into this... I’m saving you because their cause is worse than yours."

"We’ve been enemies for years, but today… we fight the same battle."

"Our morals are oceans apart, but even I can see they’re drowning you."

"The side I’ve chosen would spit on me for helping you. I’ll do it anyway."

"You are everything I oppose, and yet—if I let them take you, I’ll be no better than you are."

"I’d forgive you for anything, but not for this."

"I’m not leaving because I stopped loving you. I’m leaving because I still do."

"My heart says stay. My conscience says run."

"If you keep down this road, I will have to stop you, and I will."

"You’re the one I want beside me, not the one who drags me into darkness."

"I’ll stand with you through storms, but not if you’re the storm itself."

"I’m bound to you by love, but unbound by your choices."

"I wish I could close my eyes to this, but I see too much."

"I hate you for what you did, but not for what they’re about to do to you."

"I’d sooner turn my back than help you, but I won’t let them break you."

"I loathe your decisions, but I despise their cruelty even more."

"You’ve made me angry, but seeing you hurt makes my blood boil."

"I want to forgive you, but I must punish you."

"My love for you doesn’t exempt you from consequences."

"You’re my weakness and my reckoning."

"If I shield you, I betray everything I stand for."

"You’re the reason I fight and the reason I hesitate."

"You are my enemy, but I cannot fight the part of me that loves you."

"Every battle with you is a battle with myself."

"I hate that I love you more than I fear you."

"I love you enough to be your greatest obstacle."

"Sometimes the hardest love is the one that says no."

"I’m not your ally here. I’m the voice you need to hear, even if you hate me for it."

"If letting you fall means saving you, then I’ll catch you—but only after the fall."

“Hating you doesn’t mean I want you harmed.”

"I wish you were better, but I refuse to let them make you worse."

"I hate what you’ve become, but I hate the thought of losing you even more."

"Your choices break my heart, but their punishment will break you."

"I hate you fiercely, but I’d fight anyone who tries to break you."

“I will stand against you—for your own good.”

1) straight up asking youngwoo if she likes Junho too. No beating around the bush and dragging the love triangle (?) On.

2) A GREAT FUCKING FRIEND FOR TRYING TO GET YOUNGWOO TO HELP HER REALISE HER FEELINGS AND GIVE ADVICE DESPITE LIKING JUNHO HERSELF. Like when she says "that's how you asked him? Love is not an interrogation"

3) FOR SAYING IT'S NOT HARD TO LOVE YOUNGWOO. I LOVE HOW SHE GENUINELY GETS UPSET (always) WHENEVER SOMEONE OR YOUNGOO HERSELF UNDERESTIMATES HER. Aka when she stormed off after the scene.

4) FOR ASKING JUNHO UP STRAIGHT WHETHER HE LIKES YOUNGWOO AND NOT HER BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN SEEING THE SIGNS. I love how she doesn't fucking self-inserts and asks him about his feelings for Youngwoo instead of herself and doesn't push Suyeon-Junho agenda.

5) FOR STANDING UP FOR YOUNGWOO AND SAYING DON'T BREAK YOUNGOO'S HEART TO JUNHO. LIKE. 👏👏👏 QUEEN SHIT. I REALLY REPLAYED THAT PART. I FUCKING LOVE HER MAN.

6) for standing up for Youngwoo when that bitch ass attorney minwoo was talking about nepotism. I love how the preview shows she still stands up for Youngwoo BECAUSE SHE KNOWS YOUNGWOO IS SMART AND DESERVED THE POSITION AND HER HAVING TO TRY HARD FOR SIX MONTHS SHOULDN'T ACTUALLY BE A THING.

God, I FUCKING LOVE CHOI SUYEON. SPRING SUNSHINE INDEED. I'M SO FUCKING GLAD THE SECOND FEMALE LEAD ISN'T A TOXIC, JEALOUS, COMPETITIVE BITCH BUT AN AMAZINGLY WRITTEN CHARACTER AND A GREAT FUCKING FRIEND.

#if evil, why so gorgeous?
