Even though the first two episodes were a huge cheesefest and somewhat cringy, I still enjoyed the setup of the…
You’re complaining about the drama for the same things it clearly shows it’s about. That’s like ordering fried chicken and being mad it’s fried chicken.
The FL isn’t “a 2010 heroine,” the show is purposefully styled that way. It’s called nostalgia, not a character flaw. And the ML rushing to her? That’s the fantasy genre doing what fantasy genres do.
If you’re this annoyed 75% in, maybe the problem isn’t the drama, it’s that you chose the wrong show for your taste.
That’s an interesting idea to show if he really loves Fl or felt FL is different from other girls. In my opinion,…
That’s exactly my whole point. He already liked her back in Jeju. He searched all over Seoul just from the tree, so the feelings were there before she worked at his company. He only mentions the kiss because it only shocked him when he realized she was married, which is why he reacted so strongly

He likes her from jeju island and searched for her everywhere on Seoul just because of the big tree she mentioned. So she was positive in his eyes before she works at his company. After he found she working at a company, all he could think of is the kiss scene because he realized she was married. I think there’s this one scene where he threatens her to leave the company after finding out she’s married or else he will tell her husband about the kiss scene.

I believe we are talking about the street scene where he stared at her because she helps someone pick up the oranges right? I think he just likes her personality. He didn’t know that muchnesses about her yet but he probably likes her back then, just not much yet.
Apparently, there’s this one user who doesn’t like this show but kept calling audiences “low intelligence” for liking the show is wild. Some people need to log off, drink water, and remember: the villain here is the scriptwriters, not our brain cells.
>>>>>>> The point of drama is to start with a flawed character and to see it grow. <<<<>>>>>>>…
You make some fair points about stagnant writing, but the way you’re framing it turns a discussion about a fictional character arc into an attack on real people.
Da Rim’s flaws is the writer choice. People who enjoy the show does not equal to “weak,” “low intelligence,” or “upholding patriarchy.”
A flawed character staying flawed doesn’t automatically equal “1950s values,” “immaturity,” or “the downfall of humanity.” Sometimes a writer simply mishandles pacing, or chooses a slower arc than you like. That’s it.
Also, identifying with Da Rim doesn’t reveal some deep moral failure, it just means people understand social anxiety, avoidance, or feeling stuck. Those are human traits.
Critique the writing, sure. But attacking the audience to “prove” your point doesn’t make the argument stronger, it just shows you’re more frustrated with other viewers than with the drama itself.
At this time, Ji Hyek should try kissing other women maybe start off with the SFL, i mean without trying how will…
That’s an interesting idea to show if he really loves Fl or felt FL is different from other girls. In my opinion, I don’t think he will feel the same if he kiss other girls. I also don’t think he is struggling to let her just because of a kiss. He is also attracted to her looks and character(personality). He always catch himself staring at her constantly. Even when it was SFL who wore the dress he still imagine Fl As the one wearing the dress. But yeah the kiss is what started the whole crush thing.
hey ya all. This drama is 75% over and Da Rim is THE SAME AS IN THE BEGINNING, that is the problem. She can start…
Not everyone heals at your preferred pace. Some people grow quietly, slowly, and in ways that aren’t flashy, but still matter.
And saying the audience is “aggressively defending” her just because they understand her situation better than you… that’s not a critique, that’s just you being mad people don’t agree with you.
“People supports Da rim lies and they probably lie too in reality”
Da-Rim doesn’t lie about big things to manipulate or hurt people, she lies out of panic, insecurity, and survival mode (the only victim is ML since he develop feelings for her). Her intentions is not to hurt anyone, she just can’t think of any other way. She doesn’t even know ML is hurting because of her as well. For her colleagues, I don’t think they will hate her after finding out due to understanding her situation.
Yeah, she could have told ML when she opened up about her personal problems, but from her POV, that moment was already vulnerable enough. Admitting the fake husband thing means risking her job, her dignity, and the only financial stability she has while taking care of her mom. (If I were her I would tell ML the truth and tell him to keep it secret until ML finds another way to support her). I admit she is not too smart. We also have to consider Da-rim as a strong independent girl. What if she thinks she doesn’t deserve the support? ML might be able to help her now, sure, but her mindset might be different. I support both Da Rim and Ji Hyeok characters. I hope both of them found a solution.
You’re right lying is definitely wrong. But Darim keeps lying about things that don’t even matter. Also, Darim…
it’s also important to look at Darim as a character, not just as the story as a whole. She doesn’t lie about big things to manipulate or hurt people, she lies out of panic, insecurity, and survival mode.
Yeah, she could have told JH when she opened up about her personal problems, but from her POV, that moment was already vulnerable enough. Admitting the fake husband thing means risking her job, her dignity, and the only financial stability she has while taking care of her mom. JH might be able to help her now, sure, but Darim doesn’t see herself as someone who deserves that kind of support. That mindset matters.
