“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.

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.
- She should’ve married Junseo. He’s just as wealthy as her husband, so why marry a complete stranger for…
I had the same questions but I found out that she didn't married him because or his origin (he is not the biological heir to the wealthy family). She knew that since as a child. She wants a perfect image and a perfect status despite who she is.
One thing that this comsec taught me is sometimes man and women are not that different. I just saw a comment saying"…
So many sided with them. I almost sided with them until there were victims who didn't want any of that. Some people even hate Jun Seo for exposing her and her struggles.
This drama is so much fun to watch. The way it had me giggling and ragebaiting is insane. I really love how this…
Same here! The K-drama world really knows how to drop the best shows at the end of the year. Honestly, I hadn’t watched any new dramas at the start of this year.
The first one I dove into was Bon Appetit, Your Majesty. At that moment, I was like, “Yes! This is my top pick!” But then came Dear X, and I was totally convinced that this one stole the crown… until Dynamite Kiss dropped. Oh man, that drama? A solid 10/10 for me lol.
Lying is definitely wrong from a moral perspective. But what really hit me about Da-rim is how much she’s struggling, to the point of almost taking her own life because she couldn’t find a job. Most people her age, or even younger, already have stable jobs or families, and she doesn’t. The unfairness of that, especially in today’s biased and extremely competitive job market, really stood out to me.
Her struggle reflects a reality many of us face now: opportunities are scarce, and sometimes survival feels impossible. She kept thinking about how she would survive if she didn’t lie. Of course she knows lying is wrong, any child knows that, but as adults, sometimes survival forces impossible choices. She can’t just “lose” to the job market or sell her organs, that’s not even humanly acceptable. The government isn’t helping her, so what else could she do? How would anyone handle that if they were in her shoes?
And about her not telling Ji Hyeok, she didn’t really know him yet. Meeting someone briefly on Jeju Island doesn’t exactly inspire full trust. Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t trust a man they just met, even if there’s attraction. She almost slept with him because she was drawn to him, not because she trusted him, LMaoo. To me, that’s what makes her so relatable. She’s making bad choices under impossible circumstances, and while that doesn’t excuse lying morally, it shows just how human and real her struggles are.
Like, seriously, people lie all the time to get a job. Lying about skills? Sure, that’s bad and can tank a company, but a job has nothing to do with marital status or whether you have a baby. Honestly, Ji Hyeok’s older sister just picked those candidates to make life harder for her brother, classic sibling sabotage. And come on, just because you don’t have a baby doesn’t mean you don’t know baby stuff. Some parents who actually have babies still struggle to change a diaper. Skill is skill, lol.
However, that job does seem professional, and it’s really the company’s fault for hiring people with zero experience & all moms! Despite all that, Da-rim works her butt off and shows her boss and her colleagues what she and her team are capable of. Honestly, without her, those moms with zero experience wouldn’t stand a chance, lol.😂
I know right! The hate for Darim feels so forced 😔. Like let’s focus on her talent and hard work instead of spreading negativity. Haters really need to chill 😌👏
So basically this drana boils down to - is chronic lying ok or not? Should Da Rim be held accountable for her…

there's no equality in this non-relationship. I'm not even talking about how he's her boss or the class differences.…
Ji Hyeok definitely falls first and harder but just because Da-rim takes longer to respond doesn’t mean she doesn’t care. Her life has always been about getting by, taking care of her mom, and handling her responsibilities, so it makes sense that she doesn’t have the headspace to think about love the way he does. She’s never experienced being loved like he loves her, so she literally doesn’t know what to do with it yet.
That’s actually what makes their relationship so interesting to me. He can throw himself into love without holding back, while she has to slowly learn, through her own struggles, that she deserves it. Watching her grow and catch up emotionally is part of her journey, not a weakness. And when she finally reaches that point, it makes their connection feel real and earned, instead of just happening overnight.
I agree with what you wrote. Regarding the ML, he is facing this moral dilemma: his forbidden love (which we can…
It definitely was one lie (lying about her marital status), but that lie turned into a bigger lie, something she needs to act it out. But at the same time, we have to look at Da Rim too. She didn’t keep lying because she wanted to hurt anyone; she was scared of losing her job, insecure, and kept digging herself deeper. She is not even sure if someone as rich as ML is into her. This whole situation is not right, but it explains why she froze every time she had the chance to confess.
I agree with what you wrote. Regarding the ML, he is facing this moral dilemma: his forbidden love (which we can…
You could be right. She might think he’s only mad about the lie, not because he actually likes her. And knowing her insecurities, I can totally see her rejecting him at first due to different class. But I really hope the drama doesn’t drag it out with the usual clichés either. I want FL to consider his feelings because I know she likes him too and acted different when she knew he was going to be engaged. 😭 I don't want any of them to get hurt. Im Not Choosing any sides I just want the misunderstanding to be clear like please, not another 10-episode emotional marathon lol.

Ofcourse. And I know that is not going to be easy. I'm sure it's going to take a lot of effort for FL to calm him down but who knows what will happen next.
I totally understand you if romcoms aren't your thing, but honestly your take on the FL is one of the most accurate…
Ah, gotcha! That makes sense, K-drama comedy can definitely be hit or miss depending on your taste. I feel the same way sometimes; a few romcoms really click, but most don’t. As for me, I really enjoy this drama and waiting patiently for what's going to happen next. :)

I’m not saying there’s nothing wrong with lying; what she did was wrong, and she needs to be honest. Whether ML chooses to be mad at her or not is entirely up to him; that’s not for me to decide. I’m not excusing her actions or saying there shouldn’t be consequences. I’m just thinking that ML could address the situation constructively; he can help her face the results of her actions while also supporting her to move forward in a better way.
