Everyone with clear mind can say she doesn’t love Ho … she has feelings for other man…but why is she clinging…
Yeah, clearly, the story seems to be aiming for character growth, and that's a good thing. But personally, I don't want Ho to get back together with Mi-do. **What I really hope is that she's finally forced to face the consequences of her own choices and selfishness**, without the writers once again trying to justify her behavior.
To me, genuine character growth for Mi-do would mean sincerely reflecting on her own behavior, especially her inability to communicate and her tendency to blame Ho for her own frustrations. **Understanding her mistakes isn't enough. She also needs to take responsibility for them, without expecting Ho to always be there to forgive everything.**
I also agree with you about the SML: **for the message the drama is trying to convey to remain consistent, Mi-do shouldn't end up with him.** I actually think things might end badly for the lawyer, but to be honest, I don't particularly care what happens to him.
That said, I agree with you on one thing: it's entirely possible that their relationship will eventually blow up, especially given how toxic their dynamic already is.
Hahaha, yeah, I see what you mean! Well, I was only talking about the FL and SML, hahaha. But yeah, I'm getting a bit tired of the drama. I've spent so much time analyzing the episodes, the dialogue, the looks they give each other, and everything else in detail that it's probably made me even more fed up with it ^^
Everyone with clear mind can say she doesn’t love Ho … she has feelings for other man…but why is she clinging…
I'm not convinced she doesn't love the ML anymore… I think she's mainly looking elsewhere for things she believes she's missing with Ho, even though she already has them. She just seems convinced that her problems stem from him rather than herself.
But either way, I've lost interest in her as a character, especially because of her inability to question her own behavior.
And I actually think that's exactly where the story might be heading: she'll eventually realize that she already had everything she thought she was missing with Ho. And her jealousy towards Su-a might be what finally forces her to face that reality…
For me, the FL and ML are no longer a couple. They're now just two people who are still connected, but whose relationship is already over, since they've given each other permission to see other people. Their love story is finished. That's how I see it.
Now, it's about time the consequences of all the bad decisions made throughout the first seven episodes finally started catching up with everyone…
**As for the ML:** I hope he realizes that he no longer has to sacrifice himself in the name of "love," and that he finds someone who won't manipulate him or make him take the blame for things that aren't his fault.
**As for the FL:** I hope she loses the ML for good and finally realizes that she's responsible for her own choices.
**And the SML…** I couldn't care less about him.
To be honest, I'm becoming less and less interested in what happens to the FL and SML. Whether they end up together or not, whether they destroy each other or somehow heal each other—which would be pretty damn ironic after destroying the ML…
They could even die, and I'd feel absolutely nothing. I just don't care anymore.
All I hope is that the ML finally finds the peace he deserves, along with genuine, healthy love, without having to act like a doormat just to be loved.
I'm just worried about Su-a. She might end up getting hurt pretty badly in all of this…
And SuA moving weird with that statement, why confront MiDo and say you thought they were fighting because of…
Look at the scenes where the FL and SFL interact, especially the way the FL looks at the SFL. You can sense a certain tension, almost like she's thinking, "You're getting too close to him," which is, by the way, incredibly hypocritical of her.
I'd say that's partly why… She might also be trying to provoke the SFL and plant some doubts in her mind by saying that.

**Épisode 8 — Entre dépendance affective et communication inexistante**
Cet épisode apporte enfin des éléments intéressants sur les problèmes du couple Ho/Mi-do, mais confirme aussi mes inquiétudes concernant la direction prise par la série.
**Ho semble davantage prisonnier d'une dépendance affective que d'un amour véritablement sain.** Il s'efface constamment, accepte presque tout et commence seulement à comprendre qu'il doit aussi penser à lui.
De son côté, **Mi-do continue d'accumuler les contradictions et les doubles standards**. Elle lui reproche son manque de communication alors qu'elle-même dissimule ses problèmes, projette ses complexes sur lui et attend qu'il devine ses besoins.
Le paradoxe est intéressant : **Ho lui laisse tellement de liberté qu'elle semble interpréter cette absence d'opposition comme un manque d'amour.** Elle recherche alors chez l'avocat une séduction plus active, tout en étant elle-même bien plus affirmée et combative avec lui qu'avec Ho.
Le véritable problème reste donc leur incapacité à communiquer. **Chacun contribue au dysfonctionnement du couple, mais leurs responsabilités et leurs choix ne sont pas équivalents.** L'infidélité n'est qu'un point de bascule dans une relation déjà profondément fragilisée.
La confrontation permet néanmoins à Ho de reconnaître sa peur de perdre Mi-do, tandis que sa métaphore du bus suggère qu'il commence à distinguer amour, habitude et peur de l'inconnu.
Mais **faire expérimenter à chacun une nouvelle relation pendant un mois pour comprendre l'ancienne** est une direction qui me déplaît profondément.
Au final, malgré quelques réflexions pertinentes, **je passe progressivement de la frustration envers les personnages à un véritable désintérêt pour la trajectoire de la série**. Ce qui aurait pu être une histoire mature sur l'évolution de l'amour après dix ans semble désormais s'orienter vers un énième jeu de relations croisées.

**Episode 8 — Between Emotional Dependency and a Complete Lack of Communication**
This episode finally offers some interesting insights into the problems in Ho and Mi-do's relationship, but it also confirms my concerns about the direction the drama is taking.
**Ho seems to be trapped in emotional dependency rather than a genuinely healthy kind of love.** He constantly puts himself aside, puts up with almost everything, and is only now beginning to realize that he needs to think about himself too.
Meanwhile, **Mi-do continues to pile up contradictions and double standards.** She criticizes him for his lack of communication while hiding her own problems, projecting her insecurities onto him, and expecting him to somehow read her mind.
The paradox is interesting: **Ho gives her so much freedom that she seems to interpret his lack of opposition as a lack of love.** She then seeks a more active form of romantic pursuit from the lawyer, while being far more assertive and willing to stand her ground with him than she ever is with Ho.
The real problem, then, remains their inability to communicate. **Both contribute to the dysfunction in their relationship, but their responsibilities and choices are not equivalent.** The infidelity is simply a turning point in a relationship that was already deeply troubled.
Their confrontation does, however, allow Ho to acknowledge his fear of losing Mi-do, while his bus metaphor suggests that he's beginning to distinguish between love, habit, and fear of the unknown.
But **having each of them experience a new relationship for a month to better understand their old one** is a direction I deeply dislike.
Ultimately, despite a few worthwhile reflections, **I'm gradually going from feeling frustrated with the characters to genuinely losing interest in where the story is heading.** What could have been a mature exploration of how love evolves after ten years now seems to be turning into yet another tangled web of romantic relationships.
Avis et ressenti perso, vous êtes pas obliger d'être d'accord, s'il vous plait pas juste passer à autre chose. Just my personal opinion and how I feel about it. You don't have to agree, and if you don't like what I have to say, please just move on.
Bravo, tu es tombé dans le piège ! XDLe mec accumule les défauts, qu’on nous montre encore et encore, mais…
Je ne pense pas qu’il soit nécessaire de soutenir qui que ce soit. À la rigueur, peut-être celui ou celle qui subit le plus les choix des autres.
Au début, je soutenais autant la FL que le ML, même si je trouvais déjà la FL problématique à cause de son manque de communication.
Maintenant, au vu des actes de la FL, je me désintéresse un peu de ce qui peut lui arriver. Je souhaite surtout qu’elle foute la paix au ML. Et concernant ce dernier, vu qu’il se comporte comme un véritable paillasson dans l’épisode 7, je commence aussi à perdre tout intérêt pour lui…
Le SML ? Beaucoup trop toxique, peu importe son passé. Ça n’excuse ni ne justifie ses actes.
Reste la SFL, que je trouve parfois un peu puérile dans ses réactions, mais qui est finalement la plus stable du lot.
Donc, au final, qu’ils aillent tous voir un psy et que le ML largue la FL. ^^
I have to admit, I'm enjoying the comments and the discussions they spark more than the drama itself. And I have…
Wow, that's such a nice compliment! But to be fair, I do run my texts through ChatGPT to make them easier to read, better structured, and to translate them into English. I only use it to polish the wording and handle the translation, but I'm sure that helps make my comments more enjoyable to read ^^
How shallow can you be to think the plot is about cheating ???????????
It's an important turning point, even if it's not the main plot. It's a major event that, in theory, should fundamentally change the dynamic between the main couple.
I'm reading all the comments here and having a cup of coffee to pass my time and I'm having a blast I'll watch…
I have to admit, I'm enjoying the comments and the discussions they spark more than the drama itself. And I have to confess that I sometimes leave slightly provocative comments on purpose :^)
Guys can someone please explain what went wrong with Teaseung’s work ? I get that they’re trying to throw…
From what I remember, Tae-seung is involved in a corruption scandal linked to Line Intercontinental. His boss wants him to leave the country temporarily, either to protect him or to keep the scandal under control.
Tae-seung doesn't trust him and threatens to expose damaging information if things aren't resolved.
That's basically what I remember, but I didn't pay much attention to this storyline since I haven't found it particularly interesting so far.
do you think that maybe 2ml has some redeeming qualities that we’ll find out in the next episodes? i feel like…
Bravo, tu es tombé dans le piège ! XD
Le mec accumule les défauts, qu’on nous montre encore et encore, mais attends… Et s’il était gentil, en fait ? ^^ Si la série nous sort un artifice scénaristique magique pour le rendre soudainement « meilleur », ce serait surtout une manière de légitimer l’infidélité de la FL, et ce serait extrêmement artificiel.
Mais bon, comme on dit : « On juge le gentil sur sa pire erreur et le méchant sur sa meilleure action. » Un mec bien fait une erreur et se fait conspuer, tandis qu’un salaud fait preuve de bienveillance une seule fois et devient soudainement une âme complexe et torturée…
Après, oui, le scénario laisse tout à fait cette possibilité ouverte, tellement certains pans de l’histoire sont mal construits XD

If it's because my comment is a bit naive and idealistic, then I agree, it is pretty funny ^^
