woah cool down, I never said that you were defending DH because of what I mentioned. I said >>IF<< you relate to them. IF. If you didn't then that's fair. But i'm telling you, this isn't so one dimensional as you may think. Both brothers are flawed characters, they will get their character development once both of them open up to each other, Ji Han could open up about his trauma and how he was treated in the family and Do Han could finally open up about his sexuality and what he was dealing with back in New York. Ji Han shouldn't take the sole hate and be called selfish because Do Han and Ji Han are both selfish in their own ways and thats what makes them so complex as characters.

She has the right to and is valid so because nowhere does the contract states that you can't date outside of the fake marriage. :) Dohan and FL already discussed this I believe.

Getitdone is right though, Ji Han is definitely misunderstood, he's actually the one that suffers the most for now until newer information about DH comes out. I feel like you are too biased for Do Han. I understand if you relate to him or like the actor and looks but the show isn't trying to show who's the better brother, it is actually trying to show that both are flawed brothers with their respective issues and problems. The only solution to this is for both brothers to communicate together maturely and close the chapter with a hug.

this is such a nice analyzation of drama ratings that proves genres and preferences are important.

i love it too haha. Them stumbling over themselves is what makes it funny, ironic and sweet at the same time.

Yes, that's also correct. Grandfather says that Ji Han is his sin because he thinks that Ji Han has committed a sin like he did in the past. So he essentially hates Ji Han because Grandfather hates himself for sinning. It's actually pretty sad I hope they explore this more soon. It could also possibly be that the birth of Ji Han is a sin itself due to Grandfather's choices since it may cause Ji Han's parent to die in an "accident" (we are hinted that it is a murder?)

You know what they say, age makes you wiser and that's maybe why you don't enjoy the bickering back and fourth and prefer the book club atmosphere amongst younger viewers. They enjoy that stuff, I'm only 20 and not even I have the energy to troll back like them. But it is important though to correct some of these misinformation about the show because it does affect the show's rating and overall perception from newer viewers.

Grandfather most likely blame Ji Han for his parent's death. He definitely holds a grudge against Jihan. Jihan has been the punching bag in the family.

For god sake it's a fake marriage >>CONTRACT<< she has every right and freedom to do REAL things so long as they both do NOT have feelings for each other (literally impossible).

Male lead does know everything, he heard their conversation about the fake marriage contract plan lmao. He knows it's all for show and fake to rebel against their grandfather's wishes lol. What he doesn't know is Dohan's sexuality and how it plays into this.

of course he doesn't. Pretty sure Jihan knows this and knows that its purely a contract marriage for business. Which is why he is so confused and frustrated with Dohan's unpredictable answer.

Okay I agree with your point. Yes they definitely should've talked it out more deeply in private.

he has a little hate in him at first lol. Especially their first encounter.

She CHOSE to help him because she is a decent person and a friend, but she is also left without options. She literally is stuck in a corner. You just don't see it. She obviously can just leave and go back to where she was but that's not what she wanted initially. She's too far into the game to back out. She has nowhere else to go to become a main lead actress. Literally. Nepotism is a no go for her, everyone looks down on her, and she has built herself to be known as an extra actress, literally. Nothing will go her way if she leaves even with the illusion that she has a choice when she really doesn't. SHE COULD'VE SAID NO BUT SHE CAN'T BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY because of her struggling and declining career crisis. She is in a midlife crisis with her career. Dohan used this specifically to make her agree at some point once she reaches her lowest point.

The problem is Dohan not actively solving the problem with his brother. Jihan will never know and will keep pushing him UNLESS he reciprocates back the trust that Jihan gave him. This is literally the solution to this brotherly problem. I'm sure it'll be mentioned and solve in a couple more episodes and our two lovely brothers with issues will hug it out and cry. I'll stop here since I respect your opinion :)

again, I am only responding because you are spreading some of the most twisted and biased response with your own conception and beliefs on such a simple plot to sail the unnecessary hate on a complicated ML LOL. You need to be corrected at some point in your life girl.

Its not about the win or loss, it's the fact that he manipulated her into agreeing with his proposal. She's only staying with him and going with the plan because SHE HAS TO. Jihan was the problem for her agreeing yes, I agree, but that was also because she had nowhere to GO. She is in a corner. Jihan and Dohan are BOTH at fault here and I only want to point out that Dohan should not be viewed as an innocent lamb in distress. You know why the FL not getting the main lead role is a weakness for her? Because she always wanted to be a main lead, but everyone takes it from her and she clearly doesn't want to be known as a minor actress anymore, FL is ambitious in her own right. She wants that proposal now because Dohan promised her that she will be the main lead which is exactly what FL is looking for, albeit knowing that even if she doesnt like it, it's the only best choice available to her due to what happened with Jihan at the bridge.

??? ok this just feels a bit biased. That is entirely Dohan's responsibility and problem as a brother to still care for his brother despite dealing with his own problems? That is your family not your friend. Yeah, Dohan has the right to stress and worry and what not, but at least pay attention to your brother who literally trusts you and care for you BEFORE this whole thing started. I can't just disregard and not acknowledge my brother just because I'm dealing with financial issues, marriage problems, coming out problems, and grieving the death of a friend.

Look, you claiming that Dohan is the innocent lamb is what makes me point out the counter argument to yours. That is an IGNORANT statement. Yes Jihan isnt so innocent, no one said he was. BUT Dohan is also part of the problem because he is manipulative, (he even manipulated you lol). Again, you definitely missed the social cues and scenes and I understand the ego to defend your opinions of Dohan as righteous brother.

you don't see the problem in Dohan seeking the most easy and convenient way out right? It's not free... Dohan takes advantage of the FL's vulnerability and her acting career problems, essentially putting a carrot on a stick for the FL to agree with his plan. It is manipulative and FL literally pointed this out before she had no choice but to accept his offer. If Dohan was a good friend, he would've seeked another option even if its not the most convenient and easy method for himself, because it means that he still has a face to not do something like that to the one that was always there for him. Dont. Use. Someone. For. Your. Benefit. Especially if you use their weakness against them.
