This is where the show takes off I think...

I've been mixed about this show, probably because I recently watched a few episodes of the Netflix stalker show "You" - don't want to do any spoilers if you haven't seen that particular show, but it's about a very disturbed guy who is obsessed with a beautiful but stupid woman who knows nothing about protecting her privacy (Really, she has no curtains in her apartment and walks around naked/hooks up with guys etc... all in her fishbowl apartment with her stalker standing outside watching.) What do these two shows have in common? A guy who is obsessively in love with someone. ... The difference is that in I Need Romance 3 he actually has a real history with her... and isn't also murderer like in "You". But both male characters walk around thinking about their love interest, analyzing them, daydreaming about how they would take care of them. It's hard not to compare the two shows when you've watched them so close together. But one is a scary/thriller show and the other one is a fluffy romantic Kdrama.I definitely HAVE been enjoying this show generally but I really wasn't keen on how he went into her house without her knowing and was not admitting who he was. I also didn't like how he kept trying to tell her she wasn't uncomfortable, it was just butterflies... like, dude, don't tell her how to feel! Then again, when I myself was going through a very stressful & anxious time period 'feeling excited' and 'feeling anxiety' had mixed signals in my stomach and it was often hard to tell the difference! This is the kind of human insight that makes me love KDrama - BUT in real life nobody knows you better than you know yourself and it's controlling behavior when someone tells you how to feel... yes, sometimes people we are very close to can have good insight into our foibles - but in this story she didn't know she knew him and and and.... Ugh maybe you can see how I mentally wrangled with this whole thing. I kinda felt like giving up the show... until this episode. Until the reveal - and the SLAP! Reality (well, kdrama reality) came crashing in when he found out she did not have the same golden memories he did. It's good. I like it.
