i think the whole story isn't revealed yetlike, we have new information about FL status in her own family, and…
She can’t even communicate when she’s standing right in front of him, and you expect she can use a phone for that ? lol. She’s a toxic person and he’s a weak simp so yeah, they’re meant for each other. She didn’t even apologize and still blames him for being a weak man who suffered because she left him, acting like it’s not her fault at all. And like you said to justify her , they’ll make her life as messy as her personality, so he can help her, blame himself for not going to her earlier, and feel guilty for having some ego just like they did in Love Next Door lol. and what more convincing than a toxic ex husband and suicidal thoughts to make anyone felt sorry for her , and ml to worship her .
The whole point of the drama is that neither of them has been able to move on because they're both damaged people...…
So why is it always the FL who’s allowed to move on by being with another man, while the ML either doesn’t move on at all or, if he does, he still doesn’t do it with another woman and just stays single? I almost lost my mind 🤯 when the FL in a recent K-drama told the ML, “I tried to forget you by being with many men, but I couldn’t always think why it's not you ,” and then he cried because she suffered knowing he was single for 8 years waiting for her never forget her and always supporting her from behind and happy for her , while she was trying to forget him by being with other men .and they say both love each other the same and she act like she suffered lol And the worst part? Before coming back to him, she was already in a relationship and if that man hadn’t cheated on her, she wouldn’t have thought about the ML at all
Men only do 2 things. They either rape the woman they like or wait for that woman until their deathbed. They don't…
Simps, criminals, and toxic behavior mls , this isn’t indirect , it’s a direct attack on men, in my opinion, meant to degrade them. Most of these writers have a toxic feminist mindset, and many viewers like MLs who are simps with no self-respect, like this shitty ML who stopped his life for a toxic woman, becomes an alcoholic, can’t be with another woman, and still accepts her and helps her deal with her ex-husband. She doesn’t even try to apologize and still blames him, because he’s a weak man who suffered because of her. But her apologizing for that? No, apparently it’s not her fault. And she’s 38, yet still childish and lacking basic common sense. and the joke is that saying she tried to move on by marry another man , but when they try ml to move on they don't give him also another woman no , just alcohol and suffering in silent, like another kdrama welcome to smadal or whatever the name is , the ml.was waiting for 8 years supporting her from behind and watch her and never think to move on, but she dating many men trying to forget him and she didn't go back till her ex cheated and she failed on her job because of that, and he still accept her and help her and he's the one who take first step to be together again, mls in kdrama and Cdrama just there to be a doll that please fls and make them happy
"Look at me. You are talking to me."(EP. 4) A MAN!!
When you define what a “man” is from a woman’s perspective like this, you end up with a simp with no dignity or self-respect—someone who’s expected to love a woman even if she’s toxic, leaves him twice, gets married, then comes back with her ex’s problems that he has to help her solve, and still loves her without her appreciating it or apologizing for what she did.
ML needs to stop Simping , he won’t go to the states now that her ex showed up , but he needs to move on ……
he will be worst believe me this a kdrama so mls have no right to have self respect or personality, they just write them to love fls and worship them , and tolerate anything from them , even when fl get married still waiting for years without moving on and when she get back he will sacrifice his life for her again and again to help her , and she don't even appreciate it or apologize for what she's doing, or change her shitty personality for him , but he will say to her at the end I love you even if you're like this , it's a cliche in kdrama, and it's romantic to make mls simps without personality.
This is the typical 2025 ML, a man so simp that looks like has no personality at all and is just there to be the…
I can't believe someone else said this , I find myself alone against majority of viewers when I'm talking about this mls degrading to just simps that have no life out of loving fl and think about her , and simping even when she make his life like shit, he still apologizing but she never apologize or even see that she's a toxic person more than her ex husband, why when sml do.this in other kdramas fl find ml that she likes also but when this toxic fl did it ml still waiting for how many years single while she's married and when she comes back he just get mad a little and later he even wash her feet and help her with her ex husband and flex that he's flirting with her !?
well i really wanted to give this drama a chance but nearing the end of ep 3 i honestly just can't. i can't see…
I completely agree with you.
She’s a toxic person who needs professional help, and here we have a weak-ass simp with no self-respect. Like you said, she contradicts herself in the same sentence many times , she blames him for something, and then blames him again if he actually does it. She wants him to be her dog: just follow her without saying anything, do whatever she wants, be there when she wants, and kiss her when she wants , so she can forget her bad marriage and whatever happened to her.
And I bet she won’t apologize for many things if she ever apologizes at all. Instead, they just show her past far from him , that makes it look like she suffered more than him,oh boy if she did it for him she will be a saint and he will end up blaming himself and apologizing. This is a fact. Just wait and you’ll see him blaming himself for what happened to her ,exactly like Love Next Door and many other K-dramas.
This happens because they write MLs without personality, dignity, or backbonejust a simp who can’t be with anyone except his toxic ex and who tolerates everything from her. Even when she marries another man, he waits for years, stays single, and then helps her deal with her ex-husband because “he’s more toxic than her.” And what makes it even worse is that she never treats her toxic husband the way she treats the ML she acts like a little kitty who can’t defend herself.
Honestly, I think they just want to make men look like shit in these dramas and teach them to accept anything from the woman they love. The only thing they haven’t turned into a “romance” yet is a FL with multiple baby daddies and three or four kids, being toxic, while the ML falls for her, does everything for her, and fights the deadbeat baby daddies 🤣😅🤣
Another simp who doesn’t have a backbone or self-respect, and a toxic FL who acts like the most annoying person with the ML, but with her ex she’s like a little kitty who can’t defend herself and needs the ML to protect her.
And I realized that when they want to make MLs look “under” FLs, they make them wash her feet, help her wear shoes, and say it’s romantic. But why do we never see a FL do that for the ML? Wash his feet or help him wear his shoes out of love? lol.
I forget they don’t even apologize for their mistakes. And the double standard of the majority of viewers is mind-blowing. When a SML in other dramas does what she did and leaves without saying anything, viewers say it’s toxic and that the FL shouldn’t go back to him even when he apologizes and makes an effort for her to forgive him , But here, she did that, made him suffer so much, even married another man, and then came back with no apology, still acting like she did nothing wrong and somehow he’s at fault . and he’s not allowed to blame her because she “also suffered” with her toxic husband 🤡🤡🤡🤡 and he should be sorry for her , and when he was crying about how she makes him suffer her cry was of a toxic person that wants to make it looks like she's in pain for him , but still she holds it like crying for him is weakness and show her stupid decisions consequences.
And viewers make excuses, saying it’s his fault too, and that because she went through this and that, he should be a “green-flag” simp, stay silent, and help her with her problems , or else he’s not a" man.” and see she also love him by holding of his picture and never forget him and she get back after years and years to be with him , if he don't accept it he's a toxic person don't deserve her lol
That is because you are not truly in love and dont care. If you love somebody truly - you grab any reason he/she…
That’s simping, not love. So if you love someone, he can take advantage of that? When he makes a mistake, you’re supposed to forgive him without him apologizing, because if you don’t, it means you don’t love him enough or truly love him!?
This is narcissistic, toxic behavior: he makes the mistake, and if you don’t forgive him immediately, you’re accused of not loving him. He doesn’t need to apologize at all you’re the one who has to take the first step and not even wait for him to ask for another chance 🙄🙄🙄🙄
and I advice anyone that do something like what you said to have some self respect and standards because he will regret following his blind heart
I think their relationship always start with Li Wu approach her and trying to get closer to her, but the final…
lol that’s in all C-dramas mostly . The FL always decides what she wants to do, and she loves the ML less than she loved her ex. This is common sense in C-dramas. And in some shows like Hidden Love, Princess and Lighter, and Forever and Ever, the FLs loved more and did more, and road home and that’s it for the drama I know fls do more effort than mls and loved mls more in some aspects .
That’s one of the reasons, personally, why I stopped watching C-dramas, unfortunately. The MLs have no dignity or backbone—just waiting for years. Even if she breaks up with him, he still takes the first step toward her and forgives her like she didn’t do anything. You can even feel that she doesn’t care if she never gets back with the ML( without him doing everything to get back they never be together again) , but the ML, for years, never even thinks about being with another woman or forgetting her. Meanwhile, FLs most of the time date, or at least have a couple of love interests ( that later make ml act like a teenager and get jealous and make himself a joke because of it ) , and live their lives like they never knew the ML or broke his heart , and master how to hide their feelings and play hard to get , and act like the hero who don't want his grace to be known , so when ml know the reason for her decision will love her more ( even if he can't because from start he love her unconditionally lol ) .
Darim needs to resign her job as soon as she started dating her unofficial boyfriend officially. She can rely…
let's wait for a sml pushes fl and treat her like tissue paper also, because always smls have no backbone or dignity and for ages falling for fl that don't know he's exist romantically lol
TBF he didn't realize that he liked Da Rim until JH was in the picture. He'll probably freak out soon enough if…
And like we talked about before, the SFL is still simping and saying that getting rejected is “good news.” And the worst part for me in all K-dramas and C-dramas is that the FL will keep acting like he never confessed, and she’ll just friendzone him while the ML still gets jealous of their “friendship.” And FLs are always either clueless about it or they think it’s funny.
I really dislike this cliché where everyone pretends it’s still a platonic friendship, and the SML acts like he moved on instantly like he pressed a button, press on = he falls for her, press off = he stops liking her romantically. And I agree with you about the other cliché: he never thought about liking her romantically when she was with her toxic ex or her other exes. But the moment the ML shows up, the SML suddenly decides he wants her. They always use this to create a stupid love triangle and some “comedy” or dramatic scenes between two men fighting over the FL who just got left by some loser toxic ex.
I’d say a better comparison to the complaint on ep 9 is Hy’s kiss from a few episodes back. She was technically…
It would actually be good , and much better, if she moves on from the useless SML. It would be even better if she stays single or maybe ends up liking someone else , instead of going with the cliché route where the SML suddenly gets together with the SFL.
Especially after he liked the FL for twenty years, confessed his feelings, and rejected the SFL many times because of that. If they end up together now, it would only be because she has no dignity or personality and is just following her hormones.
Wow..... somebody said it....👏👏👏When someone tells something which is not true, like to your family or…
There are still many clichés they can use to waste even more time. Maybe one or two episodes of her feeling the same thing he felt, liking someone in relationship . Then we get the SML’s confession to her / the ML and FL finally getting together for one episode, and then of course they have to break up because she gets exposed or something.
After that, a time skip so she can become successful far away from him, “by herself,” and then they get back together in the last minute or so.
So yeah, there are plenty of tropes left to recycle , without even forgetting the SML and SFL development , and the company problems 😅. A full package of time-wasting clichés, lol.
The power dynamic and their history matters a whole lot. He's not using his power as her boss to force her to…
sorry for the long paragraph
I agree with you, and I’m not contradicting myself, by the way 😅. When I said they made him look like a scumbag who sexually harassed his employee, I meant from the viewers’ perspective. After everything he did, the way it was framed made him look like a scumbag and a weirdo who forced himself on her.
But like I said, I agree with you. After all the frustration and confusion he was going through liking a woman he thought was married , once he found out she was single, it’s understandable that he wanted to be with her quickly and felt happy about it. And after all the things she did that suggested she liked him too, him kissing her is understandable. Her reaction is also understandable.
Now, for a couple of episodes, we’ll see her feel what he felt when he thought she was married and still liked her. This time, though, it will be less sad, because she doesn’t like him the way he liked her, and she’s still clueless about her own feelings. She needs to see him with the SFL, get jealous, and then start questioning her feelings toward him.
So we’ll get one episode of them being together, then she gets exposed, they have to break up, and they’ll probably get back together at the end of the drama , maybe after a time skip also , so she can be successful in her career, he can quit his job and do what he likes, and they meet again with a smile in the final scene 😂😅.
So yeah, another waste of time rom-com where the leads are only in a relationship for a couple of episodes or even less 🙃😂😂😂😂.
Wow..... somebody said it....👏👏👏When someone tells something which is not true, like to your family or…
Yes, great observation about the hate thing . And you’re right about the fraud situation, it’s even more problematic than I imagined. But like you said, the writers are playing with us, trying to hide the elephant in the room. 😅
And like you said to justify her , they’ll make her life as messy as her personality, so he can help her, blame himself for not going to her earlier, and feel guilty for having some ego just like they did in Love Next Door lol. and what more convincing than a toxic ex husband and suicidal thoughts to make anyone felt sorry for her , and ml to worship her .
