Lots of misunderstandings from FL's side tbh. She is jealous of everything. When ML is on a work dinner with SFL and others, she is jealous and goes on blind date with some one else. Yeah, the guy didn't came but still she waited for more than 3 hours just for him. She is jealous because ML used to like someone in college but forgot that she also had a ex and she shouldn't expect ML is pure virgin waiting just for her. When ML is jealous, ML has to coax himself and FL will not explain her self but when she is jealous then she wants to go on a date with other people and expect ML to coax her even though she was being jealous for ridiculous things. So, I hope you got your doubts solved now.
yo what, haven't watched yet ep 3, but I saw a clip on tiktok, seems like preview for ep 4? what the hell... we…
The entire preview focuses on the FL and the ML's brother, making it seem like they're on a date, while there are no scenes of the FL and ML together. I don’t understand why the creators felt the need to introduce a pointless love triangle when the story is already dealing with serious themes. Aside from the ML, all the characters come off as unlikeable, and adding a love triangle involving the brother feels especially foolish given that he’s a major source of the ML’s pain. The FL hasn’t had much character development so far, which might cause viewers to dislike both the FL and SML.
Oh, women have such an easy time setting boundaries, don’t they? Why should the ML bother telling the SFL to…
Thank you for clarifying your perspective. I appreciate your input and understand that you believe both characters should set boundaries. It was never my intention to assume anything about you based on a single comment. I apologize if my response came across that way. Your thoughts are valuable, and I’m sorry if I misunderstood you. As a man, I’ve observed that some men have difficulty setting boundaries, and I’m sure this can be the case with women as well. If you find your husband's boundary-setting problematic, it might be helpful to discuss this issue with him. If he doesn’t listen, you could consider setting firm expectations about how to address the situation or even threaten him with something if he doesn't listen. If you decide to share more in the future, your insights are always welcome. I don’t want you to leave this platform because of me, as good review sites benefit from both negative and positive perspectives to make the discussion more fulfilling.
🤣 A child. ISTG if rii is above 12 or 13 I'll eat my phone 🤣
Yeah, I saw the preview of episode 12, and the ML said 'I like you' to her and then kissed her so I hope her insecurities are pretty much cleared now. She even responded to the kiss pretty nicely—you should watch it. I just hope they don't break up or anything, because that would be a real deal breaker for me. Here is the link btw.

😂😂I also felt that they were childish, but at least they should have presented some valid arguments instead of resorting to abuse. That aside, do you think there will be a breakup? With the way things are going, them not being married yet, and the makers changing the plot from the novel so much, I'm not very hopeful that their relationship won't end in a sense-less breakup.
So guys, @rii just blocked me even though I was quite civil in my conversations with them while they were being abusive 😂. But what can we do if they don't even have proper counterarguments for why they felt it was misogynistic with how everyone was criticizing the FL? I have never heard of a situation where the abuser blocks the victim.
Oh, sure, because criticizing a character who just so happens to be female is automatically misogyny, while critiquing…
Oh, do enlighten me on where exactly the hypocrisy is. If the ML did something wrong, feel free to point it out instead of just yelling "i'm just showing hypocrisy here, stupid fuck." But, of course, you can't find a single flaw in the ML, and then you start wailing about misogyny whenever someone criticizes the FL. I'm clearly the main character in this drama because you tagged me in your pointless comment without any real counterarguments. Meanwhile, I replied to your comment with actual points and no insults. Sure, I could throw abuses your way, too, but I'd rather not stoop to the level of someone stuck in a bubble of pseudo-feminism.

Oh, it's classic: when you're out of counterarguments, you just start attacking the people making them. Prove me wrong with some actual points instead of this nonsense like 'you love your jealous, immature "oppas" because they're cute to you but not the FLs, that's the problem.' If you can't do that, maybe skip replying to my comments altogether. And seriously, why would I care about those 'oppas'? I'm watching dramas for the female characters, not to swoon over some guy. But I guess you just love throwing around words like 'feminism' and 'misogyny' every time someone dares to criticize a female character.

The scenario you mentioned, 'The ML sees the FL on a business dinner with a perceived rival,' is a common trope in many dramas. However, the difference is that in most dramas, the next step, 'Without asking any questions, he then proceeds to attend a blind date with a different woman in full sight of the FL,' would never happen. For the ML, his one true love is the FL, and he would remain single for 10-20 years, being cold to every other girl because of one act of kindness from the FL in the past. I think the reason women are portrayed this way is that the viewers, mainly female, enjoy it (this doesn't apply to you, as you're very sensible). Only if they start boycotting these dramas can we expect changes in the storylines and tropes used.
yall are too harsh on female characters for no reason, it's giving misogyny
Oh, sure, because criticizing a character who just so happens to be female is automatically misogyny, while critiquing a male character is just fine and dandy. So mature.
Oh, women have such an easy time setting boundaries, don’t they? Why should the ML bother telling the SFL to…
I was responding to the OP's comment, "I don’t understand why men find it hard to set boundaries at work. Tell the woman coworker that you want to keep things professional and you don’t have any feelings for her. Very easy." I wanted to point out that whatever the OP is accusing the ML of has already been done by the FL. The difference is that the ML handled the situation maturely and, despite feeling jealous, never ran away from his problems or went on a random blind date just because his boss suggested it.
If the OP is advising the ML to tell the SFL that he’s in a relationship to avoid her advances—without even knowing if the SFL is pursuing him—then why didn’t they say the same about the FL when the SML was persistently interested in her? Isn't that a double standard? The OP didn’t even mention the topic of the FL going on a blind date. She could have told her boss that she was in a relationship, just as the OP suggested for the ML, but she didn’t. Instead, she was jealous of the ML and SFL, even though she knew that despite knowing each other for a long time, the ML and SFL still hadn't entered into a relationship, perhaps indicating that the ML didn’t have feelings for the SFL.
In your opinion, the FL might not have been indecisive about the SML, but in my opinion, she was quite insensitive to the whole situation. She frequently talked about her ex in front of him, and whenever the ML felt jealous and hinted at needing an explanation, she never clarified things for him. One thing I’ve learned from my relationships is to never talk about an ex in front of a potential partner or someone you don’t fully trust, as it can cause unnecessary problems.
Oh, women have such an easy time setting boundaries, don’t they? Why should the ML bother telling the SFL to keep things professional when he doesn't even know she likes him? The FL didn't tell her ex, the SML, for eight whole episodes, and you were fine with it because she’s a woman and gets a pass. Plus, female viewers love seeing handsome men get jealous over the FL. Where were you when the FL was being indecisive with the SML? I didn't hear any complaints then. But we've only seen the SFL for one or two episodes, and you're already annoyed? The drama has consistently shown that the ML has loved the FL for the last ten years and won't tolerate the SFL. Let's give it at least 8-9 episodes, like we did with the SML, and see what the ML does. Right now, it seems like you find the ML being jealous of the FL and SML's interactions cute, despite knowing their past relationship, but the FL getting jealous over the SFL trying to pursue the ML is annoying to you—even though she's also going on a blind date. Such double standards!
