It’s completely normal/appropriate for FL to react the way she did over a close friend.

It’s just the show failed to showcase that close bond between FL and SML. The writers simply didn’t do enough to convince us of their friendship. It didn’t help when they made SML have romantic feelings for FL the entire time. I mean you can’t really call it a friendship if one of you feel more. They definitely should’ve kept things between FL and SML vague. Like with Blossom

This is fiction. You can ship your ships.
If that is FL with Ye Xian cuz you find Winwin attractive, so be it?? There is no need to play mental gymnastics.

Having standards is bad now? Sml wasted a good chunk of his life waiting on FL to settle for him

Also, some yums do be yucky tho

What makes Ye Xian any different from your tsundere ML we typically see in youth cdramas?

Is he not just acting his age? Young enough to not know how to regulate his emotions so he often lash out? Or is there more nuance to his character?

EDIT : I personally think the actor is doing a good job portraying the character

100% spot on for Cheer Up(kdrama) SML as well

Potential for Ye Xian Situ Ling arc?

ML seriously needs to start getting screentime??

We are over a third of the way through the drama and ML is more like a glorified guest character. Only shows up in the last two minutes of each episode in case we forget

SML literally out there begging for love, and that’s who ppl are having SLS over??
How pathetic is that

Sunbae Universe claimed yet another soul 🕊️🕊️

We’ll get a good drama then.

Although I doubt SML will offer anything other than the guy that gets the short end in that love triangle

The issue with SML having main role in a non-love-triangle-centric drama is that this character typically has no storyline aside from being one of FL’s love interest/suitor.

We already saw that in Sunbae Universe where entirety of SML screentime was him wooing FL and going on dates with her. And look how that turned out.

That said, we don’t have a small child for FL to have ML babysit so she can go on dates with SML unlike Sunbae Universe.

Yes to love triangle, and on top of that sml has main role

We can agree to disagree. Although I strongly feel if ML isn’t in the picture and/or if ML character isn’t the main “male lead”, FL one hundred percent would’ve gotten together with SML.

Also, if you ever come across my comments on other dramas on this site, you’ll have a clearer picture on how I feel about delulu SMLs with their one sided love for FL and second lead syndrome itself - (Cheer Up 2022 e.g.)

Let’s put it this way.

Have you ever watched a romance/romcom and thought “well, FL& ML are going to like each other and end up with each other cuz they happen to be playing the main roles in a romance/romcom”?

There was nothing natural about how the leads fell for each other. FL got to see how much pain ML is in and she feels pity for him. That was somehow twisted into her loving him. ML also fell for him for no real reason as well. Again, mistaking pity for love.

And guess what? With FL&SML the show actually took time to build up their dynamic/relationship in a natural and organic manner. FL actually meets SML first and they quickly strike up a friendship. They did lots of hanging out in the first few episode. Lots of screen time for just the two together. Of course, SML fell for FL at first sight so all their spending time together SML definitely saw that as their romance blossoming. SML character is also pitiful cuz essentially ML just came in and stole FL from him. ML is definitely a villain in SML story.

To summarize, at first the show gives you 101 reasons why FL&SML should be together only to then bring in ML and forced a romance between ML&FL. At least, that’s what I got from putting everything into context.

Can you truly befriend someone that you, yourself said “lusted” for you and fell in love with you after you’ve rejected/declined their advances?

It’s one thing if you’re going to stay single and you don’t mind befriending them, but you’re going into a committed relationship with someone else.

What would your partner/spouse think, and would they be OK with it?

And who is to say that person settled on being your friend cuz they want to stay close to you in hopes of being next in line?

Even then what if your relationship gets a bit rocky and they use it to their advantage with ulterior motives?

Even if your intentions are genuine in only wanting to be their friend, you can’t really know theirs. Only time will tell but the flip side of that is lots of people cheat on their partners with other people around them since it’s convenient

Let’s not forget bro fumbled FOUR women who were head over heels for him in a single drama

Good luck this time around 😭🤞

0/10 ragebait

1.) Sunbae berated Tae Hyung for not protecting his beloved Hyun Jin as if he has any say in what goes on inside of a family (ml+fl+baby). Sunbae made it sound like Tae Hyung is at fault for the situation.

2.) Sunbae belittled Tae Hyung when he said he knows how to offer love since he comes from a loving family when talking to Hyun Jin

3.) Sunbae doesn’t care about WooJoo. He uses WooJoo to get closer to Hyun Jin and spend more time with her. Case in point - EP 10 WooJoo recital. Let’s not pretend we don’t know why Sunbae didn’t tell Hyun Jin about seeing Tae Hyung.

It is WooJoo’s big day, and WooJoo should’ve gotten to see his uncle. Sunbae did not care about that. He didn’t want Tae Hyung to interrupt his date with Hyun Jin because that’s what the day was for him.

4.) After losing both his parents at a young age WooJoo now needs stability and consistency more than ever. WooJoo quickly bonded with his uncle and it was beautiful seeing how well their dynamic works. WooJoo needed Tae Hyung just as much as Tae Hyung needed WooJoo.

Sunbae sees that with his own two eyes,
yet he was desperately trying to drive Tae Hyung away so he can be in a one horse race for Hyun Jin (sunbae did so successfully for a time).

That kiss was actual harassment tho

FL has been constantly rejecting SML, and he took advantage of her while she was drunk. (+ sml initiated btw)

DRUNK PEOPLE CANNOT GIVE CONSENT!

Apparently many people here and on YouTube loved it because that kiss was HOT according to them 🙃

You do realize you had to read the entire premise to get to that snippet at the very end, right??

The rest literally says in-laws having to take care of the nephew after a tragedy.
