Or the others have watched enough of these shows to hold our opinions because we have seen this before.

Waiting for the backstory to fill in the holes is reasoned approach.

Speculation from a few scenes isn't a cogent argument for condemnation.

We've seen tenants humiliate themselves.

"Mean Girls" already formed their minds on the first episode.

Occams razor

His agreement with his wife to divorce/no contact. After a decade, it was safe to return home.

Perhaps a witness, informant for the Police too.

After EP3 are you still going to repeat your prejudices?

If you have watched Kdramas, you would know to wait for a back story before making absolute statements in the first two episodes.

This isn't reality, like Hollywood/Kdrama's are for entertainment.

It was described as an illness "entrepreneurship" failed businesses. We have a scene with loan sharks.

His financial failures put his family through hardship is what we have seen so far.

It's too early to have a full understanding.

Repetitive
Ex-wife seeks divorce/full custody and no contact from husband.
Daughter agrees with Mom and states he's dead to them.

His absence/no contact from his family wasn't voluntary on his part from the first two episodes.

He submitted to their wishes after failing them.

Put yourself in both camps with the limited details to understand the issues.

None of those things are true.
We don't have the full backstory.
We know he failed financially to protect his family.

We know his wife/ daughter demanded all contact be severed.

We see him trying to contact them now.

Some may choose to believe they were correct and without fault.

It's too early to have a conclusion without more information.

Lastly, forgiveness may be a bridge too far for some viewers.

It wasn't pettiness, this was Chess vs. Checkers.
The promotion enabled her to be fired without a Ministry Labour challenge against the Firm.

Fired manager at her expense may file for wrongful dismissal.

Protections were removed. *

*(Speculation)

Valid reasoning, viewers should expect these things and withhold their outrage before learning more.

Heuristics, mental shortcuts*

No, we don't have the full story behind it yet.
Waiting for more episodes to fill in the backstory is the best option for analysis.

We only have snippets, business failures, loan defaults

You're falling for the misdirection by the writers, director already.

We don't know the full details of what happened the family split.
Loan shark clip, bad investments, entrepreneur described as a disease because he failed.

Two episodes in only, it's way too early to know where the story will lead.

Trailer: Father is an arsonist EP3, unlikely.

Misdirection is something they do too often.

What would be the reasons for him to give up custody of his children, marriage, all contact for a decade and buy the Villa they rented?

Serendipity's Embrace: two males abruptly leave South Korea, FL takes it badly.

Ex boyfriend, first love/2ML for his mental health and ML that failed to disclose his interest. Mother of ML forced him to move to the US. Details matter. Both failed to disclose what happened showing up years later to rekindle a relationship.

Future episodes: Romance in the House

I'll bet father was distraught, failing miserably multiple times resulted in his capitulation to every demand from his family. He was doing what they demanded.
It doesn't mean he wanted to leave or didn't love them.

His struggle to become successful was to get welcomed back to his family.

Are they elderly?

Anyone with common sense can see his mental acuity decline didn't happen suddenly after the debate. We knew in 2019.

Are you Joe Biden?

Occam's razor: go with that.
Lying or being in denial of your own feelings.

Others suspect it because they see it their attention he dotes on her.
The writer, director gave you breadcrumbs on his affection.

So Thunderdome it is!

The cringeworthy behavior by the second couple is an ab workout.
Second hand embarrassment should be an Olympic sport, they would earn 🥇
😖🤣💀

Wrong, she never directly confessed and he mirrored her style.
He had rejected letters from others, the FL's best friend repeatedly chose to have FL risk the embarrassment.

ML not responding to the dozen letters was his answer.

She simply refused to accept the rejection.

This isn't reality, Hollywood, Kdramas are an escape from it.

A HS crush that rejected you from a decade ago isn't off limits to a friend in normal circles.

Her drunk, hotel, office scenes "send me your account info" are hilarious.
Secondhand hand embarrassment 🏆
