The screenwriter is probably a man. Korean men are notoriously misogynistic

Seems like C dramas are loving the male s** predator trope these days...and looks like we have an excited audience for it. I will exit quietly.

But you can’t always change who you are. We may see her as childish but some men would see this as lovable and cute. The 2ML loved her personality and didn’t mind it. The Ml knew her for 10 years - she didn’t suddenly become less emotionally intelligent, she has always been like this and he never told her this was an issue (which I absolutely don’t think it is for him as this was just an excuse to divorce her). Some people with high IQ may not be good at reading the room so yes it’s irritating and that would be a deal breaker for me but it may not be for the ML. If he hid his trauma then she had no reason to think she should change her childish ways. Not everyone can or needs to change. If she was that awful the ML wouldn’t have said to 2ML that she is flawless. And he wouldn’t consider dating her again. So he really needs to address his trauma first and on his own.

Because there were actually no problems in the relationship itself. They were both deeply in love and he doesn't mind her childishness. The issue is his trauma, not her. He needs to sort it out himself.

Why would you reply to everyone saying you're the fansub without providing a link? How are people going to find it?

C dramas are pretty vain so usually they man who gets the girl is the most handsome and not too evil.

You are spot on because you can read between the lines and the ML's body language and expressions. This drama is not for romcom viewers needing everything to be explained and matter of fact. This is for mature viewers who understand the complexity of adult relationships and grey characters. It is crystal clear the ML loves the FL and is miserable because he can't beeat his demons and chose not to be selfish by dragging down someone else. That's what true love is - you want your partner to be happy, that's why he introduced her to someone he knows would be a safe/serious/marriage material man for her.

And the stupidest comment goes to.....OlzDive!

Gosh I’m thankful you’re not my friend. You are awful…slap a child who didn’t ask to exist and has to live without a family. The father is the one to blame, he is the one who is married and allowed this to happen.

If course it’s ok if both don’t but It’s not ok if you know that your partner really wants one, which she did. People talk about these things before getting married so wouldn’t be a surprise for him. And he also loves kids so that’s not the issue here.

And the SML really gives ne creep vibes. The way his temper escalates from sweetheart to serious, and how pushy he is…The ML is a laid back, happy go lucky type which is why the FL can’t even hate him.

At this stage I don’t understand how can anyone still thinks the Ml divorced her because he was tired of her and marriage. He’s literally showing the total opposite through his actions. It’s because he loved her too much and is not selfish that he divorced her as he knows how much she wanted to have a child, something he clearly has a blockage with (the flashbacks of their married life focus on him struggling with insomnia and her desperately wanting a child so the writers are clearly indicating why it went wrong). He knew her and her flaws for 10 years and no one in Korea would get married if they didn’t want a family. And no ex husband would introduce an ex as a “flawless” person to a decent friend if she was insufferable to him.

I find it weird. They are all adults and divorced or single. Even if she only wanted a fling, I don’t see the problem.

But you focus on the cheating even though he didn’t so I’m confused but ok.

Did you watch ep 4? The truth is revealed about the “cheating”.

One thing to bear in mind is that both of them were probably each other’s first love and they were super young. They didn’t know better, that’s why it’s best not to jump straight into marriage. I don’t think the FL would be so obtuse and oblivious with her current level of maturity. Also, there are major cultural differences. In some Asian countries there often a clear expectation from women that their men do what they want and yield to their desire. Same with the childish cutesy act she put on with him when he was trying (without being clear) to say no.

Regarding ep 4, I don’t believe for one second the reason the ML gave her. Everything is intentional in K dramas - the writers always build up good and bad characters clearly. So far they’ve done everything they could to make him look like a pitiful, good person. Even SML wouldn’t believe he would hurt FL. It’s clear by his relationship with kids that he has a deep trauma related to kids and her pushing hard to have one scared him off. Otherwise I can’t explain why he’d happily play step dad to a kid he barely knows and a woman he clearly doesn’t fancy. And his reaction to her telling him not to send money was telling - he realised this would mean no ties with her anymore. He is lying.

Yes this is what I should do as the wait is killing me. And I start losing interest.
