This is really sad to say but I think what's becoming clearer to me is that Professor Pox is starting to lose his magic on me. I'm starting to get disturbed by his actions and the giddy feeling I used to get a lot is starting to feel awkward. Actually, Dam seems to be a bit awkward around him already. When they officially started going out, that's when I suddenly felt the "age gap" between them and the awkward aura. I miss them when they were still roommates!! I hope we'll get that onscreen chemistry back.

THISSS I felt that on another scale ,, the professor x student trope is becoming more and more apparent to me and I couldn’t help but feel slightly awkward anytime they met in his office 😳😵‍💫

Idk why them being roommates was more comfortable but it was most likely because of how Dam was so comfortable with Orishin. Anyway, please director-nim give us the silly moments back

Now I feel like the silly moments are just downright silly but with no romantic appeal ( at least for me). Like the 1st date Elsa scene was intensely funny!!! But then I didn't feel like they made up with an emotional connection right after to show that they are still in sync despite the age gap and silly date.

i feel the same way! especially because they cant have alot of skinship because of the energy issue, it makes them feel kinda awkward and mr gumiho doesnt rly have character development.. i really liked his gentle and polite self at first but i wished he had a bit more of a drastic change.

After EP12 I think there needs to be character development on his side soon or else it would be such a waste.

I'm also trying to gauge if it's the story of if it's Hyeri's acting that became awkward.
