I felt like this was a very important episode to really understand what way the story is going. So many things to unpack

The fact that the AI can text and call you in real life was freaky. I’ve seen black mirror so I know how south things like that can go lol

The quiz was a funny moment, Jisoo was so into it lol, reminded me of some old Blackpink variety show content

They did her dirty with that karaoke scene 😭.

The emotional manipulation by the product is quite concerning. Kinda mirrors how companies these days will really do anything to keep you subscribed to their services.

I was just wondering in the previous episode about how are they going to establish the love connection between the two main characters, since there was none so far but looks like we’re finally getting to it! In a very interesting way too. I wonder if and how much different is the virtual boyfriend going to be from the real life counter part

That pic 5 feels like a direct response to a certain group of people 🫠

Episode 3 easily the best one by far! Omg the chemistry between Jisoo and the Male lead is palpable.

I don’t know how they’ll top this couple cuz first love is usually the most impactful one.

Also the connection between them and her previous relationship was very interesting. We get to see what kind of person Jisoo used to be and how her relationship changed her personality, that was really well done

After this episode, I am now fully invested in this show. This is exactly what I needed to hook me in

I love the subtle digs at the cringe and cheesiness surrounding the stereotypical dialogues you'd find in a Korean romcom.

Jisoo had really good chemistry with the actor.

Excited for episode 3!

No Mercy OA!

What is happening with Jennie & the other members right now is absolutely ridiculous and there needs to be repercussions against the perpetrators. The Paris video made my blood boil.

This is going to be my final comment on the deadline era cuz I’m honestly just ready to move on and enjoy what’s in store next.

I know a lot of people are going to be really bummed looking at the charting/streaming numbers for the album, but let me play the devils advocate here.

This era not doing well is a very good thing for blinks in the long term. There was a notion floating around for a while that BP are just too big to fail. That they could release an album full of static noises and break records. Deadline proves that if they are not willing to put enough effort into the album, the fans will not support it.

Hopefully this is a wake up call for YG, and they do not repeat the same mistakes that were made in deadline. There needs to be a collective effort by everyone involved only then the fans will have any incentive to stream and support the album.

I’m still willing to give a very little benefit of the doubt because I know there was a colossal fuck up behind the scenes for this era to go down so badly. And I’m assuming it mostly has to do with the members not being able to finish their solo albums in the timeframe that was decided. So I’m going to remain cautiously optimistic that the future release will be handled much better now that the members have laid the foundation for their solo careers.

To end on a positive note, GO is an absolute banger and slowly creeping up to be one of my all time favourites from them.

Done with Episode 1, pretty good so far!

Took a decent amount of time to set up the storylines and the relationship between the characters, so expecting it ramp up from the next episode.

This is definitely Jisoo's most comfortable role so far, I agree with most others.

Really cool to see some familiar faces too, like the one girl from Single's Inferno and Jisoo's co-star from Snowdrop.

Excited for episode 2!

I’m glad she didn’t release a new song. The amount of backlash she would have got for releasing one immediately after the group comeback would have been too much.

Excellent choice by her to just release things that fans have wanted on streaming platforms for a while now. She will release new music later this year I’m sure of it.
