The excuse is going to be he never loved his current fiance. He never says “I love you” to her. They revealed it all in the first episode so that viewers would accept ML & FL falling in love in space despite them dating other people.
I really enjoyed this drama overall but let’s be honest — the writers should not have attempted to separate the heroes. The reason for separation is kind of lame (in the context of everything else that happened).
Does the book explain how The Kidnapper and The Person Who Texted Kindapper initially connected? Perhaps I missed something but in episodes 1-10 there does not seem to be an explanation — did The Texter recruit The Kidnapper (but why would The Texter do that)? A little confusing.
The screenplay is actually not bad; it's just average. But you're a daring person to speak this truth on MDL.…
Thank you! I usually also only lurk in the comments. Reading comments helped me cope with the ending of “A Beautiful Lie” (one of worst & most convoluted endings ever).
Why do you feel that the screenplay were bad? This is a fluffy romcom. Almost nobody expects a highbrow drama…
Most people are on your side :) and like the drama based on its TV ratings (each episode was #1) and strong Viki reviews (9.5/10). Hopefully it means future main roles for the young cast — the past scenes in a hospital (when FL had greying hair and contemplating suicide) were done very well.

Nothing that is going on in the present time is particularly interesting. I actually prefer lighter/fluffier dramas too (e.g., really enjoyed “Once Upon a Small Town”). I was hoping this drama would be similar to “Love to Hate You” (leads are fighting before falling in love). Or — if they wanted to have it be more dramatic — other great examples of former lovers reuniting were “Lovestruck in the City” and “Welcome to Samdal-ri”.
The screenplay of this drama is so bad, I am not sure how they attracted a good director to this drama. The bright spots are definitely actors/characters of young ML & FL.
