I don't think so, I think he has PTSD from his wife passing away. So he is too scared to start a relationship.

No problem 🙂 I agree! I think there will be a sweet moment where she actually surprises him by still coming. In episode 2 she said she wouldn't come to his opening but she eventually did come.

I say it is all up to you 🙂. Only you can decide that for yourself. I am currently enjoying the series. But I try not pay so much attention to all the different opinions and see for myself if it's something for me. So I say be free and see for yourself.

Alot of things now make sense in relation to the reveal of FL Illness.
In episode 1 when she asked ML to turn around so she could remove the layering of clothes she had.
I was like I mean she is not literally changing, so why is she particular about him turning around but maybe she was scared her clothes would lift up a bit and reveal her surgery scar and therefore reveal she was sick.

Well I guess we will we have to see what happens in next episodes haha.
I'm sure alot more will be revealed.

Well I am excited to see her rediscover the feelings she had for him before.
I don't see it as something that needs to be proven or in a rule like way. More of an excitement not a frustration.
Respectfully, I find it hard to believe your thoughts would remain the same if roles are reversed, haha. You give more grace to the ML.

That is ok if you don't agree with my assessment, at the end of the day it's just my observation. But personally I don't like the idea 'deserved'. Why should a relationship be worked for or transactional. And why is it always the FL that always has to prove something, this is just my observation from your comments.

I am excited to see them together and that is my reply. Life is complex and emotions are complex. The FL could literally say she wants to marry the ML and she really, really, really loves him with multiple really's and you will not be still convinced. Why? Because you have already made up your mind. You have already made up your mind to see the information in the narrative that you want to see. And the narrative you want to see is the FL as always wrong or incorrect. Why? because you just don't like her no matter what she does. And that's ok, you have a right to that emotion. Not everyone is everybody's cup of tea and that's ok.
But for me, I love the main leads together and I think they would make an awesome couple.

I personally don't like to weigh up in friendships who has done more. Because it's should never be transactional. But I don't understand overlooking very major and obvious moments where FL has been there for the ML, more than his own family, I just don't understand.
And I am personally not anxious about the FL proving anything. Because she has already been a wonderful friend to him. And she clearly indicated she had feelings for him long ago.
So I think romantically it would be absolutely grate to see them together.

I disagree there are multiple and too many moments of the FL always being there for the ML. Even in episode 9 she was there he was sick. Even ML said she is always there when he is sick. So respectfullly, I don't understand why you keep on sticking to a narrative that is different from what is actually being shown.

I think there is a high possibility that something pivotal romantically will happen for them. Fingers crossed.

I agree, in a reply below I mentioned that the ML was wrong to do that.

I love Seung Hyo and Seok Ryu connection. And love that their friendship is not weak or fickle. They have made mistakes, but their connection is strong enough to not let go, even through very tough times.

I think the main issue is in ignoring her messages and calls. One can't always notice changes in friends and family. But the way he went as far to ignore her was too petty.

I disagree. He literally saw her looking skinny and not well but he was so focused on her being with her boyfriend, he ignored her messages and calls of her checking up on him. That was wrong of the ML. He was so focused on romance he could not see his friend was suffering. Even. if he didn't notice why was he so petty and ignore her messages and calls.
He even said in the episode that FL helped him out of a dark space but he couldn't even notice his friend was suffering.

Well I would say this episode people were more upset at ML. And more empathetic to FL. Alot of baggage was dealt with. But there is joy also at the end of the episode.

I think some people are expecting a different kind of story of romance.

This is not a drama where the romance is just fluffy and simple. And the two mains just simply run to each other and that's the romance.

These are people going through life and their life is complicated and messy. Going from best friends who are always been there for each other, to catching feelings to being scared of testing the waters of a romantic relationship. To making mistakes in communication. The awkwardness, the even pushing each other away. They are showing that type of journey.

Just because there is mess and baggage doesn't mean they aren't meant to be together.
Relationships and love involves weathering tough times.
So this idea it has to be easy cruising for a relationship to be blessed is unrealistic to me.
Now especially that we are dealing with friends that were and are so supportive to each and clearly adore each other. I am still so excited to see if they can be brave enough to try a romantic relationship.

You have every right to your preference.
I myself personally don't think they are together from unavoidable circumstances. Life has actually been their hindrance. They would have been together long time ago, if it wasn't for circumstances. So I think it is the opposite.
People will come together no matter what if there are meant to be because those feelings will stay true, even when life happens.
So I don't agree with the idea that the FL is settling.
For me, personally it is too black and white thinking to look love and relationship numerical way. Because someone can easily miscalculate or not see subtle hints of someone's feelings.
Out of curiosity what would have you convinced about the main leads relationship?
