Hades

Their distance between them clearly shown in the dining table, it's a long distance. While, people need to be harmony and share happiness in the when sharing the food between them, that too much distance between dining space.

They are both are fault at failing marriage, one side giving or takes all efforts put into their relationship and other person exhibits distant or resonate not takes same effort eventually other person wear out and drained out.

SML is lost cause, he is atleast would cause small misunderstanding between main leads already failing marriage.
I think they will reconcile after relationship takes right path. Hong Hae In (FL) disease, is that kinda disease exist in real world??

Adding SML , following typical k-drama path route; once again writer proving, and writer don't want cut tie this SML/SFL not forsake of the story and following the same path as all writers.

I think SML character seems irrelevant to this story line. EP 2 his introduction adding extra fuel to the fire of the realtionship between the leads and creating a misunderstanding. Only SML introduction help the story love tension between the leads would culminate at a certain portion of the drama.

Hong hae In has some kind of illness in her inside therefore she cold attitude for everyone. The Illness threat of her life not revealed. It's a promising start, but also a healing type journey of leads; writer doesn't give so much importance for SML in leads realtionship that's a blessing for drama. Her family highly toxic and abusive, and she playing same rhythm with them.

Maybe typecast is the reason she ended up that role.

That doesn't mean he is an Angel 😇.

FL husband is a cheater and he had an affair with mysterious woman, he is the villain and woman is mysterious. Adultery is common theme of many this type of drama's , and these type of drama's common villain is probably FL husband.

The drama has 4 main roles: FL , her husband, and her sister Han Yoo ri, ML kwon Seon Yul. I think "Han Yoo ri" is that mysterious woman in the EP 3 last scene in that photo or the woman, that incident happened time infront of the gate. Han Yoo ri, weird feel about her, maybe she...

Most of the time she chasing SML for different reasons.

Episode 36

If he has any self-respect in the first place he doesn't go for relationship with Kim Sa Ra. He still want relationship he could find another partner rather than chasing old love. K drama some male leads have no self-respect.

Avg drama, ML doesn't know why Kim sa ra dumped him untill finale ending, but still he loving her . Why writer creating such Male leads in the dramas??? He doesn't know she cheated on him or any other reasons for dumped him. Probably, she cheated on him.Only villian is the main Star of the entire drama, he is the only driving factor of the drama, "Pathetic Simp Male lead ".

He knows FL is likes ML . But he taking many chances for FL and sometime uses his power.without that power and money, status he is nothing and a zero. The misunderstanding started because of him, why he need someone woman, even though she doesn't have feelings for him or neither interested in him. But he utilising every chance for with his power.

I think there is no need for love triangle trope for this drama and SML character. Even though drama cast huge and plot typical social class ultra rich vs normal class people plot is superficial. Rich people always marry same status of their class because of business relationships and ultra rich people always not show off their wealth,they always keep low profile at significant percentage. As long as it's focus on characters then it's good.

Yoon Eun Seong will cause huge threat for the leads' marriage life. The female lead is portrayed as a mean character and a rich heiress. Due to her wealth, she exhibits arrogance for any reason, even if she has illness, and she doesn't respect her partner. The third wheel creates a significant issue as he is a rich investor based on his character background. In the first half of the drama, the male lead will struggle extensively in his life because his in-laws are super rich and look down on those from a lower social class. During this time, the second male lead creates problems. Even though it's presented with comedic elements, the male lead's life would be depicted as a hell.

Kyung Min is connected to all the events between Jeong woon and Ha Neul, kyung min involved with big cooperation, he is key link of all incidents. This don't want dragging too much, instead of focusing main leads healing journey and avoid uncessary involvement over comedy at some point it feels non-essential for the story.

Sloppy story and waste of time at the same time the precious data which we invested in the drama, must avoid for watch and nothing great for watch. Even the plot has great potential but destroyed by incompetent writing and direction. ML and FL only only in name in the after and before 30 episodes writer gives important to the other than ML and FL (Yuan yi & Lin long). Such a waste story, weak characterization.

Screen writer previous works all below 8 on MDL ratings. This drama story writing is suspicious or following usual flavour of k-drama. In the end FL get good ending and Ml, that kinda cliched writing in the end bounded by same typical justifiable story writing.

Yes, drama intolerable for next 2 EPs. Boring episodes and the characters.

Sloppy writing, they killing witnesses without any explanations and today episode lags and leads realtionship kinda floating ice. ML still don't know why she breakup in the past , and he still loving with her common k drama ML seen recent dramas and he is single almost that years untill last met FL.

🎯🎞️🎤Nothing like in the reviews, honestly the infatuation of FL dragged so much and completely ignored the feelings of ML in the drama. FL more than 90% of time considers love with SML, run through him, help him for love with lin lou or mediator with them, craving her chance with him. At the end ML gone abroad because of that affection of FL. She can't let it go Cheng lang.
⭕ There is no indication of when Shi Yi feelings started, only scene showed out of now where high school graduation trip. Shi Yi buying a hair pin and his interactions with the vacation.
⭕EP 28/29 a scene Shi Yi proposed the Xia Xiao ju, and EP 33/34 misunderstanding ignited and because of that he gone the abroad for further studies.
⭕ EP 35 Shi Yi coming in Xiaoju office for tour trip and FL assigned as guide and end of the trip little misunderstanding happened and then out of now where EP 36 FL attitude and sleep together because of drinks proposal and happy ending.

❌in the novel ending none of the leads ending to anyone.

⭕ Writer more care about Xia Xiao Ju feelings of SML, and shown as his complete green flag throughout the drama,that is like Little bit exaggeration of writer.ML likes FL, fl like SML , SML likes another girl the circle continues. SML kinda boring down to earth character and no chemistry feel about him with Lin lou and other main characters.
⭕In my point of view unnecessarily dragged FL crush a certain portion or 80-90% of the drama, writer can easily end at the first half but it dragged. FL miscommunication also part caused misunderstanding and she is not true of her feelings and she still lean on SML and not clear things up.
⭕Shi Yi deserved better partner than Xiaoju, but because it's a story and there are no questions in the story because it's writer fantasy. Xiaoju is clueless because of Chen Lang.

Moreover, the transition of leads stages of life perfectly portrayed even though ending felt like instant coffee ☕ .
