I love your analysis so much.
I think Minhwa said it would be longer than BJ Alex, but it would consist in 2 seasons.
Season 1 has 53, I don't think it'll be longer than 110/120 chapters because in the author's note she said that we were halfway the story.
In any case, no matter what happens in the match will end up with them talking and kinda dating or in the steps before making it official so they can face together whatever the mafia guys try to do against them.
Cuuutteee. I love that Jaekyung wore the ears without complaint the entire time lol. Amazing. The panel of him smashing the hammer game with the bows was epic. And the panel of Dan with a big smile, hands in the air? We love to see it.
I think the ferris wheel just stopped like normal, but they're both new to the experience and didn't expect it. I also think the next episode will have a little badum badum but will ultimately end with Jaekyung NOT having sex with Dan. He's already admitted to feeling completely relaxed in a way he's never been before.
The other thing is that Jaekyung wants to kiss Dan and Dan isn't willing to give in yet, so Jaekyung won't feel good about sex without it. He's watching Dan's reactions with care this time around, rather than detached curiosity, so each expression is getting to him more and more. If Dan reacts badly, Jaekyung is just going to back off.
How many episodes until the match? Well the next one will either jump ahead to the morning of the match with flashbacks to the night before like how some of his match episodes have gone, or we'll have a segway episode to the awkward bedroom encounter (I'm like 99% sure it's going to be awkward). If they do have sex, that's probably going to take up one to two episodes like usual: the initiation episode and the conclusion episode which may or may not include part of the match.
About the match: it's most certainly rigged. This is his comeback match but because it's not Jumin or Junmin or whoever he is, no one's going to suspect it. I think, however, Dan will notice something outside of the ring and try to intervene or stop it. He's on high alert this time and, after Disney world, he's starting to care about Jaekyung's success again. Can't count on anyone else though, none of the other characters seem to have any awareness.
So excited to see how this unfolds.
