"She did not let the ML off the hook after that insulting remark."
She didn’t just “let him off the hook” she broke up with him. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can see that as acceptable. Just because the FL is portrayed as a “boss babe” doesn’t mean breaking up with someone over something so minor is perfectly fine, especially considering how deeply the ML and FL love each other.
Holding him accountable? Sure. Making him apologize? Even making him work for forgiveness? Absolutely, that would’ve made sense. But ending the relationship over that? Come on.
And I get it. You’re clearly big on FL empowerment. Your whole review focuses on the FL, while the ML is expected to grovel endlessly and reshape his entire life around her. That’s fine to a point. But let’s be real, the ML deserves a bit of respect too.
I agree with most of the comments I’ve seen. Up until episode 17, the show was genuinely solid, engaging, well-paced, and consistent. But after that point, it felt like everything shifted. It was almost as if I was suddenly watching a completely different series.
The villain arc didn’t bother me. In fact, it was expected. The ML’s character always hinted that something was brewing beneath the surface, and since the show never gave us a clear antagonist, it made sense that it would come from within the main cast. That part felt fine.
What didn’t work was how the FL suddenly regressed. She turned her back on the ML over a single comment. Sure, it’s totally reasonable to get upset or demand an apology, but to essentially break up with him over something so minor? It felt forced and nonsensical. Then came the emotional whiplash. The ML tries to win her back, she refuses, then they make out, and then she rejects him again. It became an exhausting up-and-down that never felt earned. If they wanted a breakup, at least give it a believable reason. Instead, it just felt like they were ticking off a plot requirement.
The ending was fine, but undeniably rushed. That final scene… I still don’t know if it was meant to be reality, a dream, the afterlife, or something else entirely. It was more confusing than meaningful.
Overall, the show started strong, but those late writing choices brought the rating down for me. I just wanted a more convincing and coherent finish.
My problem with SFl is that she doesn't really like Seonu, she didn't even took the time to really know him before.…
She’s suffering from SLS. That’s why her words make no sense. Sufferers of this condition will blindly follow and support SMLs regardless of how good or bad the ML character is and how he treats the FL. In fact, the SML can even be toxic and still end up being shipped with the FL. SMLs merely need to exist for SLS to develop.
Meanwhile, not to be confused with SMLs, SFLs can not trigger SLS in these susceptible viewers. Even if the SFL has an entire field of green flags, she’ll be discarded like an unimportant background extra the moment the FL steps into frame.
Because to someone with SLS, logic doesn’t matter, writing quality doesn’t matter, character development doesn’t matter. All that matters is the familiar heartbeat they’ve conditioned themselves to chase, the hope that this time the SML will finally win, even though deep down they know he won’t.
Boring, dropped. But it’s funny how when the FL pursues the ML from day one, is persistent, and gets rejected multiple times, viewers criticize her character. But when the roles are reversed, when the ML consistently pursues the FL, even after multiple rejections, suddenly it’s romantic and admirable. She’s “empowered” to take her time, have options, and reject him as she pleases, while he’s framed as a hero for persistence. Gotta love those double standards.
This was supposed to be cute yet was the way opposite of that. The ml and fl were the worsttt together! She loved…
So when the FL is the one who falls first, pursues the ML from the beginning, and dedicates everything to him, and he doesn't immediately reciprocate, it’s portrayed as “annoying” or “off-putting.” But flip it around, when the ML falls first, pursues her relentlessly, and she rejects him multiple times before finally accepting him, suddenly it’s romantic and admirable. She’s just “considering her options,” and everyone cheers. Classic double standards.
She didn’t just “let him off the hook” she broke up with him. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can see that as acceptable. Just because the FL is portrayed as a “boss babe” doesn’t mean breaking up with someone over something so minor is perfectly fine, especially considering how deeply the ML and FL love each other.
