So Sweet And So Bitter

The story talks about two boys, Pran, who studies architecture, and Pat, engineering. The two have a history of rivalry, primarily caused by their parents' feud. To top it all their faculties are also in conflict.

However the two boys secretly start forming a friendship, which slowly evolves into a romantic relationship.

To give my honest opinion I'm scared of not being able to pull it off. The show is pretty good, but what's more appealing is the acting and the chemistry between the two co-stars. I'm not trying to hint at anything, on the contrary I can easily admit that Wonwoo is a very talented actor. He can portray a wide range of emotions only with his eyes, not to mention that when he speaks, when he recites his lines, no matter how ordinary they are he makes them feel somehow special, like no one would be able to say them the same way he does. As for me, well I'm not better than him for sure but I can manage.

I believe the problem lies in us as a couple, we barely speak to each other and haven't connected at all. You would at least expect the leading characters to have chemistry but we really don't, there's just uncomfortable tension and awkwardness.

Trying not to think about it we park where the filming takes place. I've already seen Yonsei University in other kdramas but I have never actually been here, the building is truly breathtaking.
There might not be as much greenery as there is during the hotter seasons but still, after the sea of grey building that I come across every day in Seoul, I can say that this one is definitely out of this world.

Not much later, while I enjoy a cup of coffee, Wonwoo comes. At least he didn't miss this. When I finish my drink I approach him, a million things filling my mind.

"Where were you yesterday? We had planned to rehearse." I tell him firmly, looking at him expectedly.

"I had something to do."

Wonwoo's not the type to cancel plans just like that. He either had a good reason or he's messing with me. I walk away trying not to mind it.

We finally start filming. The first scene of the episode is one where the two friend groups get into a fight and Pat and Pran reunite after 3 years. They hadn't seen each other since the last year of highschool, when Pran was forced to move to another school because of Pat.

When the day is over I'm not completely satifyed about our work today, I hope tomorrow I'll be able to do better.

"Do you want to rehearse together when we get home? We have three scenes to shoot together tomorrow." I ask Wonwoo, hoping he's okay with it because I need the reassurance that we'll be able to do it well.

"I can't, I need to go somewhere" He replies. I fight the urge to sight. I get that he kind of hates me and has to deal with me every day, but I too am not too happy about this arrangement yet I do everything that's possible to make it work.

"Is it important?" I insist.

"It is" He responds with a blank face after a second. I really don't know what to do with him anymore, I thought we were doing okay until now, but I forgot what an ass he actually is.

When I get home I lay on the sofa going through our script. Not being able to concentrate I notice how empty our apartment is, so I decide to head out to buy a couple of plants.

Walking around town feels unexpectedly good, I'm not very used to smaller towns and it still amazes me how a place like this exists not far from Seoul, but I'm enjoying it so far, it feels comfortable and not suffocating. There still are quite a lot of people but not too much and most of them are families and older people, taking a walk and shopping.
