Dr Ghost

Yep and she is supposed to be 24-year-old, postgraduate student here.

Yes and I suspect this script was originally written in the 2010's cuz it contains old cliches of that era, which don't translate well into 2024 and Gen-Z world.

I am not saying FL is without a fault here but again, its ML that allowed himself to be used and I personally believe in this day and age (post MeToo era) if any woman in world gives you "No" as an answer. You should immediately move on and leave her alone cuz court and society won't look at mixed signals....they would say, She said "No" and you continued to harass her and hence you are criminal.

I don't know man his removing of "thread doll" in car kinda look symbolic and he also used the classical coping mechanism of dealing with break-ups by "burying himself in work".
the last scene of FL kinda look "Ominous" to me cuz her tears and pain made it look like she immediately regretted her decision. ML was dumb simp but I got a bad feeling, now FL will behave like an idiot and tomfoolery will continue.

HBD !

Looks like Fl has smacked ML enough and he won't stalk/harass her anymore. I know people will complain about her not wanting to date ML but his behaviour has recently degraded into borderline creep.
on the serious note seeing SML "again and again" will delay her healing, so I kinda understand her rationale for not dating ML and removing herself from the toxic situation. That being said, she rejected ML under her own free will. So later in the drama, if she finds out he has moved on with his ex and kid or any other woman. She has no right to feel angry, jealous or anything about the situation.
Looks like after 14 episodes of nonsense drama has started moving towards healing era !

1) I don't think majority of people complaining here has any animosity with FL cuz she knows, she has not moved on and asked for the time and even if she outright refused ML, its her life and right to decide.
The real "SIMP" here is ML and what he is doing is called borderline harassment, people are angry cuz within 5 episodes FL have told him 3 times to back-off and let her live her life but nope. Now look from another prospective, ML is supposed to be well-respected editor/writer here, had contact with multiple top class models, has car, home, six feet, 34 (seriously considering settling down) and good/reliable source of income.
He is what woman consider top 1-2% guy and in real life (sry for using rude slang) he would be swimming in P@ssy but they make him absolute simp here. Its completely ludicrous and unbelievable, I am not trying to make it gender war but you can check. Majority of people vocally angry about his behaviour are men cuz its completely spineless and would never work in real life.
2)The problem people have with FL is, she may lack love experience but she has common sense and her crush not only treat her like a fool, he uses her and now is in crazy love with another person. I would have give her leeway is she was teenage, but she is a grown 29-year-old woman with half of her life experience under her belt. If she wants to move-on why does she keep giving him chances and interact with him to get hurt.

That's we advocate, for ML to behave less like a creep and more like 34-year-old person and stop this non-sense, it will give FL time to get her shit together and move on her own and after that. If she feels like ML is good option, she can reconnect.
I was asking for ML ex to return cuz lets be real here, ML gives speeches to FL on daily basis but he has actually not moved on from his own Ex. Taking to her and listening to her side of story will give him closure and,
I personally believe FL don't love SML at all, she likes the idea of loving him and her crush is more like a temporary obsession.

I called it, that piece of incest-loving-shit has officially declared that he will go after his sister. You saved her life and she saved your life now, she paid her debt to shen family but that Satanic trash SML decided to commit incest.
The ep16 has been utter trash so far !

I left out the Lawyer guy cuz he was treating her fairly before she decided to visit his Mother-in-law and interfere in his life and I don't blame the guy for not wanting to date 24-year-old girl as a 34+ dude. He probably saw her grow up in front of his eyes and it would be really difficult for any men to go after his bro's little sister....who use to call him brother !
I would never do it and will probably tell my friend about her wired behaviour, you never go after your best friend little sister. The day he brought his little sister and introduce her to the friend group, that's the day she becomes your full-blood sister.
Its one of the reason, Zhao Lusi fanatic fans have cancelled me cuz I was speaking trash about this trope in "Hidden Love".

That's what producer say, they make these dramas for but now we have confirmation. It doesn't even full-fill that role properly and these dramas are big problem in china. I saw a youtube video where Chinese men were complaining about "unrealistic expectation" woman had due to these ideal dramas.

He won't !

I just don't get it, What ML is thinking even if you got FL to be your girlfriend?
You are friend with SML and they will interact, how can you ever trust them to be together in future?
SML is your friend and they will interact and so how can you sleep at night knowing when the opportunity arrives, she will either dump you or cheat on you with SML. Even if not by malicious intent, who knows they get drunk together and decided to act on their impulses. Its like a continuous "mental torture" he has to endure.
Nobody will respect you, if you don't respect yourself !
SFL treats SML like trash cuz she takes him for granted and knew he is a cuck/simp, SML does to FL due to similar reason and FL in-turn does that to the ML. If Ml ever wants to have a "Piece of mind" he has to take a stand for himself.

Brother this drama was written to "Full-fill" woman fantasy but the writer went bit overboard with it and made it utterly un-believable. No self-respecting man I know in my life is going to put up with it and the ones that may went to that level belong to "Pump and Dump" category.

I have already said enough about ML and the ensuing stupidity and will only watch it once, it does something other than being a copy of only for love 2.0. and guys "What if (2024)" has dropped !

Wait I thought the couple has to complete all 6 steps of weeding to be officially married and any marriage with any of the following steps missing won't hold in court,
1.The Proposal
2 & 3. Name and Birthday Matching
4. Gift Giving (betrothal gifts and bride price)
5. Choosing the Wedding Date
6. The Wedding Ceremony and consummation
but that being said, concubines don't have to complete these steps and I just HATE IT, when SML makes move on FL insinuating incest. It would have made sense if she didn't have his sister face but they were full siblings and he is still doing it.

Did you read my other comments?
I explained the reason in detail and you can read them.

Technically speaking according to the "old custom of bride stealing" whoever snatches the bride, she belongs to him. So, the drugged "Incest" lover has no merit, morality or right to interfere in leads romance.

I hope she pops up now and do some good (by making FL jealous) but I know "cringy" director is saving her for later part of the series to ruin the leads relationship.
This new C-drama cliche of "very-successful, Ultra Virgin" ML have started to get to me. Why they can't make it balanced?

Firstly, I was blaming the ML in the whole situation and secondly, it was a crush and not a relationship. There is a huge difference between the two, and I wouldn't waste my time on somebody who is not reciprocating my feelings. I will court her with full tenacity and eventually ask her out but once I got my answer, like she did I would move on and never look back again cuz there is no point in it.
FL stood no chance when SML was single but now its next to impossible, she is ruining her friendship with her female friend and she may ruin friendship between the ML and SML due to behaviour. Lets say leads start dating and SML again asks her to come out, behave like this (like he is doing now) and forces her to deal with his relationship problems.
It would cause a huge rift between the friends cuz FL will obviously pick SML side.....

We tend to hate it cuz man-bashing has gotten bit to extreme....a very successful, attractive and well-connected guy with stable job and alot of clout in industry can't seem to find any woman to date. Its really ludicrous and completely un-believable...man a lot of models like and know by name can't find a damnnn woman and he has to bow down to a schoolteacher like that.
To top that off, they made him a complete simp...like she rejected him two times now, why can't he just move on?
