Little to no progression in the story. Just more angst and sob stories. I thought today s episode will explore more of the "1 month couples" but it ended up being more about the leads.

Su A is the only likeable character from this whole show. ML doesn't deserve her. Every time ML and FL interact I'm like.. not again, all their interactions are so depressing. Childhood flashbacks with sob stories are not doing anything for me. Feels like the writer constantly trying to force me feel something, well I don't. At this point they both feel more indebted to each other than feeling love. If leads end up together I'm going to consider this a big waste of time.

it would be ok if it goes that way but it's k-drama world and i would not be surprised if the writer makes the leads go back to each other by the end of the series. that would be annoying

I'm not judging the characters too much even though i struggle to like a drama/story when neither of the leads are likeable. But what's the message of this drama? Go fuck and mess with someone else if you're not feeling the spark or the attraction for your current long term relationship partner and then come back to the comfort, respect and stability the previous partner offered you, making you realize ''oh i had it better there all along''? Maybe writer wanted to portray something ''realistic''' that happens in some long term relationships at some point and how they navigate through it. I usually appreciate bold writing that's not your every week chaebol trope but i still need to like the characters to root for their story and enjoy the drama, here it's not not happening.

I don't know why Su-A would accept this 1 month dating period experiment and get tangled in the leads drama and games only to have her heart broken in the end. ML, FL, and SML all need therapy, but hey it's a drama and flawed and messy characters make a good drama more often than not. At first i felt bad for ML's character but now i don't, how can you continue to be so pitiful after all that FL made you go through? Still wanting to get married after letting her experiment with another man is wild. Just end it right there and put yourself out of future misery. Leads ending together would not surprise me as this is still KDRAMA world but it would be pretty unsatisfying. Also Su-A is the only likeable character and she deserves better than this mess with this ML who's still pretty much at FL's feet. Parasocial rant over.

this comment section: "cheating is bad mkayyy?", "but I'll still watch it because it's entertaining and I can wall text my opinion about how cheating is bad and FL is the worst"

so many people in here triggered by the ''cheating'' aspect, it was already hinted in the drama name. i hate cheating as well and there's never a good enough justification for it but i think the show does a good job at highlighting humans interaction as being complex and flawed with all their insecurities

I think I might have missed when ML spotted SFL following him

no way they wouldn t find out a way or another or just bug him untill he speaks. as much as you would like to find motives it makes no sense at all other than being a plot device and the reason he kept quiet to be relieved later on

with all 3 of them being so close I find it ridiculous neither one of them knows why he got that cast that end his judo career. that should had been a big deal

he could had just enter the room as well

FL got off out the clashes with the SML and finally could have some intimacy with the ML after all that time, most helpful SML ever

it s a drama. they won t make every situation treated text book perfect and idealistic to match real world expectations on how should people behave. if things would be that way everyone would lose interest

prolly won't be anything other than flirting with 2nd leads anyway even with them breaking in episode 1

not going to happen though

can t these writers and producers make a full kdrama without the constant younger leads scenes from the past? I m so tired of this recurring cliche almost any romance kdramas has it. am I suppose to just watch it and think how cute and perfect were they back then or what? because I m not feeling it. in the end of episode 2 ML keeps pushing it even proposing like wth? she just broke up with you and want to make up with a proposal? does that fix the previous issues? it doesn t make any sense, it all seems forced and desperate. also FL is really spoiled, acting like a child needing constant baby sitting and approval that everything is ok and "sparkly" that s so high maintenance it must feel exhausting for the ml to deal with her insecurities. but it seems like he doesn t care and just want to be with her. anyway I m not really feeling "the romance" yet and not feeling like rooting for the main leads relationship

there are 2 episodes out, decide for yourself. others aren t going to know better than you what you like

not going to happen in kdrama land leads ending up with the obvious seconds leads. writers and producers are not that brave to do that, they prefer the safe route. if this is going to happen here I m ready to eat up my words because it would be a more interesting and less predictive plot

that's not normal. 10 years relationship and they still love each other. you don't run when you encounter the first hardship without trying to work it out at least. ''the spark'' will dissapear after some time with other new partners as well, it doesn't last a lifetime, it's just human chemistry. and that isn't everything. some value love, respect, familiarity, stability and other aspects more

same here but it usually goes the predictable way. wish writers would have more guts and not go for the obvious development all the time. anyway it's not like their relationship is so toxic/broken and can't be fixed. it's hard to throw away 10 years when they still love each other, it's not like they cheat on each other and now they can't stand each other. with a little effort on both sides they could do better, i think she/they gave up too early just because this is the main plot script and this is not a perfect world, it's still a drama. i think she needs to fix her frustrations with her career and get some development there and him make her feel she's not a burden. but surely there will be more drama with the 2nd leads until they get back together
