It seems you have a mistake. Ep3, on the roof of the company, JH just questioned why she lied to him that she didn't have a boyfriend, and she explained, then told the security to chase them down. That evening on the first day of work, DR said that he can scold her all he wants but can he keep the secret of what happened in Jeju. JH answered that of course, she said that was a relief, she was terrified the whole day for no reason. Ep5, when SeonU first joined the group, she gave JH tea and was afraid that he would tell SU, at that time JH even teased her and promised not to tell about what happened in Jeju.
The 2nd ML coming to the 2nd FL’s wedding with his kid, despite knowing her feelings and situation - is just…
Oh so it was because "you think" he indirectly told HaYoung that he liked DR. I only saw ep8, after HY tried on the wedding dress, she ran to SU crying, he kept quiet and gave her a tissue, allowed her to take his arm and hug her, she leaned on his shoulder, he even comforted her. She even said "I like you. How many times do I have to say it?". This is a love story that involves both of them, he needs to be decisive, but he still doesn't clearly state his feelings for DR, just let HY hold his hand, give HY hope. He is a real red flag.
DR is different, she often clearly told him that they are just friends. All these years, she has always considered him just a friend, then she doesn't need to admit her love for others because she doesn't know he likes her, it's her private matter that has nothing to do with him when he doesn't express it to her.

As you said before, SFL said many times that she liked SML/SeonU, while he liked DR, so in addition to rejecting SFL, he needed to clearly tell SFL his feelings for DR so that she wouldn't have any hope.
But no, even when she said that she felt he liked DR, he always denied it, he also asked SFL to look after his son until late at night, or let her touch him in all sorts of ways. So, he both lied and took advantage of, toying with SFL's feelings.
I don’t think it’s Darim’s fault, and I understand why she wouldn’t tell anyone about Jeju (especially…
DR was the one who asked JH twice not to talk about Jeju and he agreed with her.
DR denied to SeonU that she liked Ji Hyeok because she didn't want her to become more miserable in his eyes, he already knew her difficult life, knew about her ex before JH.
In her mind, liking JH was ridiculous, her ex when he was not successful yet still looked down on her, so how could JH - a talented, handsome, son of the president - sincerely love her, especially when she was lying to get recruited into the company.
DR didn't know that SeonU liked her, so how could she admit that she liked Ji Hyeok. SU had the right to compete fairly with JH, had the right to like DR, but he had to express it to DR so that DR could change her mind, no longer seeing him as just a friend. Like HaYoung, she liked him so straightforwardly.
SU was like a donkey, knowing that DR didn't like him at all, so he didn't dare to express it, just taking advantage of the fake relationship. With HaYoung, he didn't explicitly say he liked DR, he didn't like her at all, he just let her approach him day by day.
I really don't understand why many people think that DR needs to explain the Jeju incident, to tell SeonU about her feelings for JH, and that it's DR's fault that dragged SeonU into this mess. She herself doesn't have enough confidence that JH truly loves her, and that she has feelings for JH at the company is her own business. The Jeju incident is a precious beautiful memory of hers that she doesn't want to share with anyone.
SeonU is also not a close girlfriend for her to share her feelings with. Even though DR and SeonU are childhood friends, not her real lovers or real husbands, she has no responsibility to tell SU everything about her.
SeonU said that he sold his studio to pay off the loan sharks. But what she needs in the long run is a stable job to pay off the hospital bills of her mother and the loan sharks. Luckily she got a job, she begged SeonU to pretend to be her husband for 6 months so that when her colleagues saw them together outside, then she would announce her divorce.
She always said that SeonU is a friend, so it was not her fault for hiding her feelings, and SU having feelings for her unilaterally was his business. Neither his nor her feelings were at fault, but he knew very well that she had no feelings for him, he was cowardly and did not dare to say it but still used his role as a husband to manipulate JH, blocking his friend's chance, that was his own bad nature.
Don't blame DR for asking him to pretend to be her husband or because she did not tell the truth about the story in Jeju.
I never felt Da Rim owes anyone any explanation. Yes, lying for a job is unethical and if get caught, she could…

A kind reminder as to why Da Rim lied (and even now is so hesitant to tell the truth). https://x.com/ftohan1708/status/1993001200808313013?s=20PS:…
That's right, I feel sorry for her when people think she's stupid, can't do anything, stumbles and falls, gets sick, can't swim, and burns a glass and drops it. I don't know if they really watched the whole this drama.
She's not stupid, on the contrary, she's smart and quick-witted. Her family background is too poor, she had to study in elementary school, middle school, and university, all of which are mediocre, and she wasn't taught many skills like swimming.
She was scared because of her fake resume, then stressed because of overwork, then when SeonU joined the team, SeonU always pulled her to act all the time while she wasn't good at pretending, the pressure and stress made her suffer from severe gastritis.
We can see JH bursting with emotions, happy and sad, teasing DR to make us feel hurt with him, cry with him but DR can't, she has to suppress her feeling for JH down and just focus on work, even though it's always burning in her heart.
i agree with your first part and i want to add that the FL is also damn and she cant read the room .....i agree…
She never said she had any other feelings for SML. She usually said that SML was just a normal friend, so she doesn't like to share important matters or her feelings about anything except the time her mother had an emergency surgery and when they were caught going to the supermarket together, so she had to ask him to play the role of a fake husband.
She didn't even care that he was being serious when he said he had thought it over. At that time, she told him to hurry up so she could go to the bathroom. But he was delusional and selfish.
how a lie, seemingly insignificant at first, sets in motion a mechanism of destruction far deeper than one could…
Especially, Koreans hate lies and deception, so FL didn't dare to tell the truth, and there was no more chance to tell the truth to ML, if she told, she might lose her job this time.
Ngl by the way people expressed their anger at SML for asking FL to consider quitting her job, I thought he would…
You think SML just asking her to quit her job is nothing more than that. He has no right to force FL to listen to him, so how could he dare to say anything more outrageous. She has made it clear many times that he is just a friend.
Remember, at first she had to beg him to pretend to be her husband for 6 months, wait until she was officially hired, then she would say that she had just divorced, at that time he reluctantly agreed, although he said it was true that what she did was a scam, but she really wanted a stable job.
If he was a good friend, he should compete fairly, he should ignore the sighting at the crevice, he could even say that JH being too rich is really good for her. He didn't even care if she was scared when she got lost, he just focused on seeing the two of them having problems while he knew they were both single. She asked why he told her to quit her job, he just shut up. How hateful.
DR asked directly why SML now asked her to quit her job and pay the debt for her, he just kept silent, not daring to tell DR his feelings directly.
He only knew how to take advantage of the title of a fake husband to hold on to DR, now after he saw the risk of losing her, he asked her to quit her job while in the past 5 years she could not find a job and failed the civil service exam. It seemed that SML had never understood DR's unemployed, dependent mentality, and did not take seriously the fact that DR had the opportunity to find a job this time.
With her being 30 years old, poor family, never been an official employee, SML intends to hold on to her until she is an old lady that no one wants to know before he confesses? SML is so cowardly and selfish.
Not exactly the same though. On jeju, she told him, drunkenly, no job, no boyfriend, no father. They kissed as…
The truth is she ran away because SU called her that her mother had to have surgery, but she explained and in JH's understanding (ep3), she suddenly became sober and escaped from him, not continuing to have an affair.
"Not paying attention" may be my wrong word, what I mean is he cared less about her than after he thought her husband was having an affair.

Because @Nana thinks that both DR and SeonU had an affair, why would they discriminate and hate SU, I will present JH's opinion and thoughts on their affair in the above 2 situations.
Before SeonU appeared in front of the team, JH kept his distance and did not pay much attention to DR.
However, after JH determined that SeonU was having an affair just like what other staff members had inferred about the husbands, he became more worried, paying close attention to DR's expression, seeing her sick, he secretly took care of her health, he thought that DR was stressed because DR was hiding vague feelings of worry about her husband, when in fact DR was stressed because she had to act and hide her feelings for him.

2 different situations. According to DR's explanation, DR went to Jeju because of a fight with her husband, and her husband didn't go looking for her. Besides, when DR and JH were about to have sex, she made an excuse that he had to take a shower so she could run away. After they met again in the team's work, they always kept the distance between superiors and employees. DR had an affair due to a moment of indulgence.
The husband now acts intimate and loves his wife in front of everyone, but kisses another girl, he wears a nice suit, puts on perfume and goes with that girl, even when DR said she had a stomachache, he still ignored her to go with the other girl. SeonU is having an affair on purpose.
Moreover, the other employee said "a husband who treats his wife too well has only 2 reasons, either he is an angel, or he is having an affair"
Not exactly the same though. On jeju, she told him, drunkenly, no job, no boyfriend, no father. They kissed as…
So when she first started working, he was both angry and disgusted, forcing her to work for 5 days and nights to make her quit her job, but her efforts, attitude and face could not make him give up his feelings. Then she risked her life with the report that he threw into the water, he had to give up trying to fire her.
Yess! Poor ML is going through it! His principles are in major conflict. And Da Rim is not playing a good wife.…
I feel so sad for them. She is insecure about herself, her education, her family background, and has never had a formal job so she doesn't dare to tell him the truth.
JH often shows his emotions to us to laugh and hurt with him, while DR seems to hide all her emotions inside to be strong so in terms of DR's level of pain, it's not less than JH's.
That evening on the first day of work, DR said that he can scold her all he wants but can he keep the secret of what happened in Jeju. JH answered that of course, she said that was a relief, she was terrified the whole day for no reason.
