Serendipity's Embrace Episode 3 Review, Reactions
I think it's an Asian thing, the English teacher × sports teacher, always have a thing going on between them.
I love how chill Hong Ju's friend is after knowing he likes Hong Ju. Again, the calm drama I needed. #SerendipitysEmbraceEp3
I love how everyone, including his friend, is ready to beat up Bang Joon Ho lmao. And his sob story is not doing anything for us.
At this point, I wonder if LHJ doesn't know or if she's pretending not to know since her bestie likes him + she's barely over her heartbreak. This man's eyes have been so that Hye Jin caught it with one glance.
Chae Jong Hyeop has such a stunning gaze when he likes someone, and the slight smile is just This ep gave me serious butterflies oh I needed it why is it so short?
It is an eight-episode drama. I'm all for reducing the number of episodes a show has if it will reduce all that unnecessary filler (including angst) that does nothing to progress the story.
I loved how mature she was. She didn't blame Hong Ju nor did anything to harm her, she got hurt, and no one can blame her, but she still values Hong Ju and their friendship, for her friendship is way more important than her crush on anyone else.
I like this second lead couple. They're so cute, and I hope he confesses soon without interruptions.
Kim So Hyun as an actress amazes me. I've always thought she excelled as a sad pitiful character, but she surprised me with her role here. Her childlike personality here is so natural and perfect. She embodied Hong Joo perfectly. I'm amazed.
I want Kang Hoo Yeong to call Lee Hong Joo affectionately by her nickname "Ittung" at least once in the drama after they start dating just like his uncle and Yeji, please.
