You’re not wrong that her behavior can be frustrating, and I agree that an apology or acknowledgment of the past would have gone a long way. But I think the show is portraying a different kind of “growth” — not the clean, self-aware kind we usually expect, but the messy, incomplete kind where someone is still stuck in patterns they haven’t fully processed.

The fact that she falls back into old habits when she sees Taeseo again could actually highlight how unresolved her emotions are, rather than proving she hasn’t changed at all. Growth isn’t always linear, and for some people, especially those who avoid confrontation or struggle with emotional expression, it can look like regression.

As for her stepmom, I agree that her behavior isn’t justified — but it might be more about internal resentment and displacement than the stepmom herself. That doesn’t excuse it, but it adds context.

I don’t think people are ignoring her flaws — they’re just interpreting them differently. Some see bad behavior, others see a character who’s still very much a work in progress.

Calling me a kid doesn’t really land when your whole argument is just repeating the same rant without engaging with anything I actually said. I already explained Eunah’s situation — her choices weren’t about "using people", they were about setting boundaries when things got overwhelming. You’re framing everything as cowardice or selfishness, but that ignores context and reduces the character to a stereotype.

Also, saying "she should’ve just said no" from the start is easy in hindsight, but relationships — especially messy, long-term ones — don’t work in clean, binary decisions like that. You’re judging her like she owes perfect consistency, while excusing Taeseo’s behavior as loyalty.

If you want to disagree, that’s fine — but at least respond to the actual points instead of building a one-sided narrative and calling it analysis.

Eunah's decision to suddenly reappear in Taeseo's life wasn't a reckless act born purely out of desperation - it was the result of years of suppressed emotions finally reaching a breaking point. She didn't just wake up one day at her lowest and clinging to the nearest comfort; she had been carrying unresolved feelings for a long time, quietly battling them on her own. The fact that she even contemplated reaching out years earlier shows that this wasn't impulsive - it was something she denied herself over and over until she could no longer pretend those emotions didn't exist.

Eunah finally chose to confront what she truly felt instead of continuing to run from it, which takes courage to overlook. Rather than judging her for disrupting the present, it's more fair to recognize that she is someone trying to resolve unfinished emotional chapters in the only way she now knows how - by facing them directly, even if it's messy and imperfect.

I also don't get why many still continue to criticize Eunah even after she has clearly tried to set boundaries, especially in her relationship with Seongchan. She made a conscious decision to step back, not just for Taeseo but for her own well-being - distancing herself from both a complicated relationship and a failed business that no longer served her growth. That choice reflects maturity and a genuine desire to move forward, not someone who thrives on drama or chaos.

What many ignore is that Seongchan's continued interference undermines those boundaries she worked hard to establish. Eunah isn't clinging - she's actively trying to let go, but she's being pulled back into situations she no longer wants to be part of. Holding her accountable while overlooking his persistence creates an unfair narrative. If anything, her efforts show someone who is learning to choose herself, even when others refuse to respect that decision.

It’s fair to feel frustrated with her at times, but reducing her behavior to “childish” overlooks the context of her struggles and emotional growth. Characters like her often reflect how people cope imperfectly under pressure, which can come across as selfish but is also deeply human. At the same time, taeseo’s resilience doesn’t invalidate her journey — it simply highlights a different way of dealing with pain, and both perspectives can coexist without one diminishing the other.

That take ignores the difference between linear growth and realistic healing. Eunah isn’t “dragging Taeseo down” — she’s a character still actively working through unresolved trauma, which doesn’t magically resolve just because ten years have passed. Time alone doesn’t equal growth, and portraying her as “lost” misses the point that the drama is deliberately showing how avoidance, guilt, and emotional scars can persist into adulthood. Calling it “running” oversimplifies what’s actually a very human coping mechanism; the story is less about her failing to grow and more about how messy, uneven growth actually looks.

Also, the idea that she’s just involving Taeseo in her problems frames their relationship unfairly. Taeseo isn’t being dragged — he’s choosing to stay involved, which suggests mutual emotional stakes rather than one-sided burden. If anything, their dynamic highlights how both characters are still figuring things out, not that one is stunting the other. Saying they might not “deserve” a better outcome feels premature when the narrative is clearly still unfolding their development; the tension you’re pointing out isn’t a flaw in her character arc, it "is" the arc.

I'm sorry but in what way did she drag ML down in those 10 years? Like what she said when they broke up, they should make the most of their own time and that's what they did. ML made his grandparents life easier and after a few years even had the chance to do the job that he actually likes. In the case of the FL it's just unfortunate that her guesthouse business got scammed and that's just out of her control — even though thing aren't still clear what truly happened.

You're overlooking what the role actually requires. Her facial expressions fit the character's personality. Eunah isn't written as overly expressive or dramatic- she's someone shaped by "small rewards and major failures" who matures over time. FL reflects that through controlled expressions and emotional shifts, especially in scenes where the character becomes more reserved as an adult. That's not "lack of expression," it's character consistency.
