Wow, this section became so toxic!Both Do San and Ji Pyeong had their own strengths and weaknesses. Both loved…
Dal Mi should have ended up with Han Ji Pyeong. He was the one who originally wrote the letters and the one Dal Mi "loved."
Back in the day Ji Pyeong was a depressed kid with no family. He didn't trust anyone and felt inferior to others. He suppressed every emotion and only focused in becoming successful. In such circumstances, it would have been very unlikely for him to develop feelings towards Dal Mi, let alone be courageous enough to admit them and pursue her.
Nam Do San is a kind guy and has very positive qualities. There's no reason why she shouldn't have ended up with Dal Mi. But he didn't write the letters and they would have not met had Ji Pyeong not looked for him. He's like an "intruder." They were simply not meant to be with each other.
Both Do San and Ji Pyeong had their own strengths and weaknesses. Both loved Dal Mi and both deserved to end up with her. The real question is, who deserves it more?
This is what being "strong" is: standing on your own and being independent, not being mean, rude, masculine or belittling or disrespecting others, as many writers have us accustomed to.
"The World of the Married" looks very interesting. I will give it a chance!
What hjp said at the end was true " he knew her for 15 years and did nothing... nds just read some letters and…
You're not wrong, but back in the day Ji Pyeong was a depressed kid with no family. He didn't trust anyone and felt inferior to others. He suppressed every emotion and only focused in becoming successful. In such circumstances, it would have been very unlikely for him to develop such feelings, let alone be courageous enough to admit them and pursue Dal Mi.
Dalmi must have been blind for not choosing Jipyeong because he was the better option.
There are no "options" in love. You either love the person or not. It's not about choosing. However, it would have made much more sense for Dal Mi to end up with Ji Pyeong, since he was the one who originally wrote the letters.
This is definitely the best drama of the year! I will miss it when it ends. A second season would be great, but that will not happen. I can't believe this gem was made in this wretched year.
Yes. The female lead is really cute. She can be embarrassing too though lol. On a side note: I think your comment…
We have only talked in one other instance and, if I recall correctly, it was you triggered because I said that Korean women are actually not mean, aggressive or disrespectful as they are sometimes portrayed in newer dramas, adding that those are not attractive traits in any human being, whether male or female.
It's okay if you don't like my comments or disagree with me. I constantly read comments I disagree with here on MDL and on other sites. I just skip them and don't take them seriously since they don't have any effect on me. Another option is asking for clarification.
As Hwayi said, if you're unhappy with my comments, blocking me is an option.
"Stop telling us to chill out. That's incredibly offensive"
What do you want me to tell you then? "Be sad"? "Be angry"? "Please do take offense at anything and everything you hear or read"?
There were no ill intentions behind me telling you to "chill out." I only told you so because, honestly, I don't understand why are you taking my comments this seriously. I cannot understand how a stranger online stating that he's generally not attracted to some particular type of women can be so offensive and trigger such strong emotions.
Are you attracted to ALL men? Don't you have preferences like everyone else on the planet? Moreover, there's absolutely nothing wrong with expressing disagreement or with having insecurities (we all do!), but you're overreacting and being borderline disrespectful.
""European" is not a race"
Neither is "Chinese." I never mentioned races. How is that relevant to the issue at hand?
"Why don't you stop a minute and think about why some of us find some things [...] so problematic"
I have, I really have. And I have come to the conclusion that there are people who are constantly looking for ways to be offended, and will find a way no matter what you do or say. You just can't help.
What if I had said something along the lines of "I'm usually into Chinese women and, well, she's really cute"? You'd have probably cried out about "yellow fever" and engaged in the most awful stereotypes about Asian women being "submissive."
I honestly don't understand what is it that you want, no matter how hard I try to understand you.
"you might come away with some better ways to express yourself"
Like "yuck"?
Seriously, I don't want to keep this conversation going. I don't think we'll reach an agreement or get anything positive from it. You're constantly pushing your views and demanding others to adopt them in a clearly overbearing manner.
Let's just stop it here. Let's respect each other and our respective views, and move on.

My take on the spoiler.
This is what being "strong" is: standing on your own and being independent, not being mean, rude, masculine or belittling or disrespecting others, as many writers have us accustomed to.
"The World of the Married" looks very interesting. I will give it a chance!
Yes, of course.
"Is this the best of 2020 ?"
It is to me and some people. Of course, not everyone would agree.
"Because I can tell you a list of 20 dramas that are 10 t. better compared to this.."
I should be very grateful if you could please share the aforementioned list with me and have it circulated on MDL.
Great article for a great drama.
How are my comments being "demanding", "overbearing" or "obtuse"?
"Done. Bye."
Nope, you didn't stop it there, you continued your bashing, which led me to yet another futile clarification attempt.
Bye.
