So basically, we want a mentally weak man to be the love interest of a strong willed woman like SDM?First fight…
You see, the show wants us to blame the parents, just like NDS indirectly blames the parents.
And it's totally unfair, do you know how hard our parents work and sacrifice to give us a great life.
And for someone to throw all of that away, because he has low self esteem? That's not an excuse. The mom even berates him, we are your parents, you can talk to us.
Keep in mind he's not a teenager anymore, he is mid-late 20's.
I guess it just went on to show that blood is thicker than water. I understand her pov but I guess the fact that…
It's not just that, it's the fact that he was an orphan, then had to leave the one place he felt safe with Grandma. And even with all the rough childhood, he still always did the right thing.
NDS on the other hand, has had 2 best friends, 2 caring parents, a LARGE extended family in his life. But he just waste it all away, and always does the wrong things to make people disappointed.
I'm very dissapointed with Haelmoni this episode, in fact I'm very much upset rn & think HJP shd hv just leave…
i'm hoping HJP switches to team WIJ, and WIJ company ends up going to 2STO with alex, while SST ends up having a traitor in the midst which causes the company to fail.
SDM on the other hand, was able to succeed on her own without NDS.
Something that can be fixed by having a supportive girlfriend, which SDM is. But it could have been any other girl who is supportive and it would still be ok. Prior to meeting SDM, NDS wasn't exactly looking for a girlfriend, he was doing ok with the support he was getting from Cheul San and Yong San.
HJP's biggest flaw is he didn't think he had a flaw. Only when he meets SDM does he realize, for the last 15 years, he has been living life with a hole in his chest. A hole that cannot be filled by just any girl, but only by SDM, because she is his first love. A hole so big, that he would throw everything he has worked hard for, to fill it. Her letters help him during his dark days.
Imagine your mom taking the side of the bully who picks on you...

Perfect Ending.
First fight they have, they are getting divorced.
It's unfair to parents. Children always blame the parents for what their decisions are.
But maybe in korean culture, NDS is the man korean fans are rooting for more?
Because that is how much SDM means to him, that he would toss away his good boy persona for her.
just my opinion.

Those 20 seconds would at least show us the audience, she understands HJP.
The fact that their dialogue was machine gunning, showed she didn't care much, until she say sorry in the end.
