Innocent

"ML could have simply got up and left the business dinner or hurled some insults back at him,"
Did you read my comment and this part before making this comment, ML could also have shown his maturity by simply leaving the dinner and letting him ramble on there. It would have shown his maturity and save his self-respect. Next time please read before rage baiting, nobody is asking ML to attack him nor are we asking him to harass FL. People are asking him to grow a backbone and let things develop naturally until Fl decides, what she wants with his life.

Thanks for understanding and I want to reaffirm that, I wasn't trying to throw shade at you and I made that comment cuz I was once falsely accused (she listened to her friends and made mistake, even her parents got involved) and was forced to give up on my childhood best friend of 14 years. I know how hard it's to move on from somebody that close to you, I changed school (lost connection with my other friends) and went to boarding school at age of 16. I cut majority of people completely out of life. Then as fate would have it, we went to some medical college and batch......she tried long and hard and made up for that misunderstanding 10 times. Now 6 years down the line, we are engaged and I plan to marry her next December.
That's why I though you may still haven't moved on but I am happy you took it the right way but if it still hurt you I am sorry!

"The airport scene, to me, shows that ML wanted to reconnect after years of missing his ex-girlfriend. That’s about love, not being a simp."
First, it's okay to have different perspective about characters and this was Simp behaviour cuz FL told us in ep 2, she broke up with him and used very very harsh words and after that last thing any person with iota of self-respect will do is go back running back to look at the person who disrespected him during breakup. This is classical example of Simp behaviour!

"About the SML (male friend) confrontation, I get why some might see ML as spineless but there’s a saying “don’t argue with fools”. Sometimes it’s wiser not to engage. SML was childish, so arguing back would’ve been pointless. ML chose to stay calm and not lower himself to SML’s level. By not immediately reacting (especially since he had previously beaten him up physically) ML showed strength and more maturity than SML."
ML could have simply got up and left the business dinner or hurled some insults back at him, FL friend was lowly accountant sent by his company to observe the enterprise. I am 99% sure ML can get rid of him with one phone call, and between business owner (with CCTV and testimony evidence of their accountant behaviour) and lowly accountant. Company will believe their client and fire the lowly accountant cuz they send him there to do work does not disrespect their client and dig up old nonsense in business dinner. Even if he reported some fake information to his company or try to disturb ML business. Parent company lawyers are going to double check everything before invoking contract breach against ML....lol they signed a contract, and friend can't do shit. Secondly you all keep bringing up beating up scene, I have not seen that in 6 episodes available on my WeTv. Did you guys read novel?
I will make the decision when I see that scene in flash-back myself and what did SML did to get that reaction out of him. Lastly, whenever one party breaks up with other and say some mad shit/very hurtful to things to their partner (which FL admitted to). The party which spoke harsh words and initiated the breakup should be one trying to mend the relationship. I believe in one motto in life,
"If you don't respect yourself nobody in the world is going to respect you" and that's why ML is a simp cuz after all that he is still wagging his tail around FL and giving longing looks. FL has repeatedly shown us with very actions, she don't give a F about his self-respect by allowing her friend to interfere in their relationship during breakup phase in Germany and now allowing him again to interfere in their relationship by using her past and as an excuse to disrespect ML.
Considering all these things (I only care about what she did not what she thinks cuz later bring no benefit to ML), ML is a SIMP and we can agree to disagree on this one here.
I hope its shows my point of view and help you understand why everybody is calling him a Simp. If they had a casual breakup and FL was not involved with his family, it would have sided with you.

"Him being a simp would have been the case if he was blindly crushing on her for years and doing everything for her without getting anything in return"
Dude run to airport just cuz he received notification of her buying a ticket, then just sit there on the dinner and let SML berate him like a dog even when FL didn't put a stop to it. After that in morning he was pacing in studio waiting for her response.
I like this drama and will watch it but ML is a Simp for sure !

How is this so far?

I second that and agree 💯 with you, but only thing I hate is how she blamed ML for breakup and is allowing her friends (SML) to target the guy. It wasn't like twice or five times, he used her as an excuse to disrespect him like 20 times and FL just stood there and let it happen.
This whole thing paints completely different picture as to what FL is trying to portray here.

I don't hate or blame her for breaking up and I kinda commend her for making hard decisions for her future but at the sametime, ML didn't do wrong either. He was infatuated with her and proposed cuz she gave him false sense of hope and security during their dating era without communicating the issue. She only relented and acted like it was all good and bro got confidence.... leading to their fights. If FL communicated their problems early on we won't be here in current situation. Yes you are right it's too early to call it and I won't believe FL one sided story either, who blamed ML after breaking up with him.

I have also watched ep 6 what mistakes did he made?

I loved the divorce festival tho with black wedding dress and pillow fights🤣🤣🤣🤣. I am confused how ML business is failing after that and why didn't more disgruntled couples called them to hold more events.

I have seen her telling her friend off afterwards but it's completely useless then cuz deal was already done and ML was disrespected. I dislike that scene cuz if it was one, twice or even five times it would have been understandable but he was relentless and he used FL to disrespect him like 20 times and she didn't put him at his place right there.
Secondly FL has gave us her prospective now, her reasons were incompatible future and forcing her will on her. I lowkey commend her for breakup cuz she read the writing on the wall and ended that ill-fated relationship, which I don't understand is her bad mouthing ML after that. Like Madam decision have consequences and you are completely right in standing up for yourself and looking out for your future, but at the same time how it's ML fault.

I am really confused about FL behaviour, if you knew your future prospects and goals don't align with his, then you could have told him sooner. There was no need to drag it out so long and play dating game with ML until he you gave him false confidence to confess to you in public. It's okay and perfectly normally for humans to grow apart from each other, and FL did right by herself by breaking up cuz she didn't feel like it, but now her crying about the whole ordeal, bitching about ML and how he tormented her makes no sense to me. Like mam you made conscious decision for betterment of your career and used your right to breakup with him, but still you are angry at him and allowing your so-called friend to run his mouth around and disrespect the ex by you as an excuse and shield.

Nahh they have upgraded drama logic and it should be around ep14 and 15.

I haven't started it but judging by Chinese drama logic, they will get together after 15 episodes😂😂

Can you give me examples of dramas with bad ratings which were actually good?
I am bored and have nothing to watch. Any help will be appropriated😊😊😊

First, I am genuinely not trying throw shade here at anybody and secondly it does sounds like it. If she still remembered the guy to this day, we all have some good friends with whom we grow apart like I had multiple friends in High school. Whom I knew them for 12 years of my life and even dated some, but I only kept contact with few of them and doesn't even remember their faces now. I don't know if it come out wrong, but I am trying to give her closure by saying, she doesn't need to understand her actions or rationale behind his actions.

Let's try to have civil discussion here. I am just trying to give you a closure here and explain his rationale behind his actions. So you were good friends with this guy for 10 years, during those ten years did he cross any limit or gave you any clear hint about taking it to the next level. If he was just sharing general things about his studies or life, it doesn't mean he saw you in romantic light. To give you proper answer to this question, I need a bit of more info like were you single through out his friendship with you or you got a boyfriend early on in friendship. He may have approached you with ulterior motive in the start but your continuous reaffirms of you being only Friends and having other relationship during that time frame, may have send him wrong signal and he thought you friend zoned him.
Too reiterate, I will recommend you to move on with your life cuz people life is like a train going to it's destination, different people will get on it and leave on different platforms and not everybody is supposed to reach the destination with you. He was like fellow passenger who helped you get through certain part of life but TBH GUY was in your friend zone for ten years and it's very torturous place for a man to be. He may very well had feelings for you but continuous reaffirmation of friendzone killed the vibe and he grew out of it. On the flip side he may very well had a g.f and dickhead was keeping you in the loop as potential backup option. In simple words we need info😊😊😊

You are kinda right about it. Although drama was trying to paint the narrative "FL helped ML in his childhood to deal with trauma of his mother absence and was there for her" but it came out wrong. Too much cliches were introduced and ML was made to jump through multiple hops or give in way too much to be with her.

You are right about all of this and I respect your opinion but I watch dramas to escape reality and for me it was life simulator 2.0. The only difference is we suffer in hospital not in bank of food company, I will give credit where it's due cuz portrayal of "Friends to lover" was realistic but again it's way to near to my personal life....even down to dumb married childhood sweethearts.
I was disappointed in villains cuz manager guy didn't do anything at all to stop FL from investigating, like complaining about her ethics, faking record or anything. It was like he took it, while lying down and I wasn't expecting ML to save her cuz FL is smarter person in that relationship and she like multiple times in past should be saving ML but I was expecting villains to try something at-least and even Mo guy didn't do anything.

The only bad thing about this drama was disappointing villains, they really need crash course in Evil from mother-in-law from Go Ahead.

They will date very late in series, while in novel they got together very early but don't worry it's a good drama with realistic plotline.
