Filming is complete, the spin off is two episodes and having it air in same timeslot of (No Gain, No Love) would retain audience, seen as a natural progression.

If you're paying attention, the writer has already set in motion for this triangle. HS backstory, 2FL clearly is attracted to Ha Jun.
Ja Yeon has moved on from blaming him for her past traumas by her Father.
He submitted to her wishes by doing Community Service at the Orphanage. He's normal, made a mistake (one night online Troll) according to her.
Sincerely apologised multiple times, gotten hands on therapy from parents, interviewed by Police.
Ja Yeon fainted from exhaustion, witness him being hit by the white truck. Waking up she discovers him in the room, having carried her to Hospital, paid for her room, replaced her Phone.
She's already moved on from blaming him for her childhood trauma.
is there many romantic scenes or just some sweet subtle romance till now? I want to watch this with my mother…
There's no overtly intimate scenes in the six episodes already aired. Some language, hand gestures that your mom likely used when ordering you to clean up, do homework.
I don't know about later, but now the thing between jayeon and bogyu is a no-no-no situation to be a romance to…
Bogyu made a mistake (online troll), Jayeon traumatic past resurfaced.
We've seen this play out before, both parties made mistakes in judgment.
Her tripping outside the Police station, fainting at his alleged death by white truck, his carrying her to the hospital, replacing her phone, were enough for her to change the settlement to laundry service at the orphanage.
Kdramas: seatbelt, seat adjustment, umbrella from rain, snow, catching person tripping, blocking sun to be triggering from neutral to heart flutters. ๐
Others may have a different perspective. She took on too much responsibility as a teenager and never had an opportunity…
My earlier comment isn't about chores, Mom raised them as a single mom, ran the household and employed. It's was a comment on how we judge individuals. Some diminish others if not married, have children, stay at home, career outside home.
Others may have a different perspective. She took on too much responsibility as a teenager and never had an opportunity…
I haven't looked back at the initial episodes and may have made some errors.
It's my understanding, she was a Senior in HS, went to College and took on too much responsibility for their family after the Father was banished.
My argument is the adults (parents) made/make mistakes and their daughter over corrected by becoming the Husband in that family dynamic.
Read early comments defending everything action b/c she's the breadwinner, found the hypocrisy of that logic absolutely hilarious.
My theory, mom didn't stop working, provided for her two children w/o her ex-husband/father being present for the decade. She wasn't successful as her daughter who rose through the ranks and reduced her work hours to take care of the house.
For consistency, daughter employed part time while attending high school, securing full time employment after graduation. Her skill, determination work ethic existed at an early age.
South Korea has highly competitive workforce, medium/large employers can require completion from College/University for employment.
She rose through the ranks as a part-timer at same company. She's 29*, team lead suggesting she's been advancing for years. (Speculation)
She didn't want her brother to have same experience, provided tuition and allowance.
It's been weeks since I watched the beginning of this drama so speculation of the intent by the writer/director and memory.
From my perspective, they wanted them to return to the nuclear family unit.
Every drama, movie has storytelling inconsistency, leaving viewers to fill in the blanks.
Filming violence, stunts, rushed endings seem the most common gripe with Hollywood/Kdramas in my opinion.
Others may have a different perspective. She took on too much responsibility as a teenager and never had an opportunity…
When watching these (always remember) this isn't reality.
Adults make mistakes, banishing Dad/husband was a mistake. No visitation, ability for him children to have a healthy relationship with him. (see studies on divorce/one parent homes)
Rewatch it, daughter realizes her MOM was doing all those chores, supporting her.
She finds her mom crying in an empty room. They both love each other and will be there for each other.
Try to understand what the writer, director and actor are trying to impart from these decisions.
Others may have a different perspective. She took on too much responsibility as a teenager and never had an opportunity to live a carefree adolescence.
She's 29? It's overdue for the family to correct, she's welcome to return if she's overwhelmed, fails.
Both parents acknowledged their choices have negatively affected how she interacts with others.
Outside of work, professional colleagues have we seen any friends?
She didn't make space for romance, friends?
She became an adult, income earner in her early teens.
This is removing her financial obligations to her brother, parents for the next chapter.
She's going to have time for personal growth outside her immediate family.
This isn't realistic, Hollywood's/Kdrama kicking out your fully grown adult children.
Her Mom is starting to chase, explore her choices in the last two episodes. Both parents in their fifties were lonely for a decade?
Have a tiny bit of empathy for them is a bridge too far?
Don't get caught up in the weeds trying to apply logic in these dramas.
There's different types of Chefs as they are Cooks.
Chefs run the operation, overseeing the Kitchen and are not cooking on a regular basis for a customer.
She likes to cook, is intelligent has a high work ethic.
Caveat: Logic doesn't apply in Hollywood/Kdramas.

This is applying logic on my part.

Ha Jun is her HS crush, she's having naughty thoughts about him still.
Online Troll (hater) has become a normal guy (Chaebol) to her who she misjudged and falls for him.
Hollywood/Kdramas/Harlequin isn't complex and they know how to dangle male eye candy for female audiences.
The CEO's Menu (Korean spinoff) already set to be aired after this drama is complete on Oct 7th.
Epilogues, Trailers are notoriously used in misdirection, angst to boost/retain viewership.
Ignoring them is the best option for nervous nellies.

Drinking games should resolve this dilemma.
These tropes are common, this is mild compared to QOT, WWSK, Dali and the Cocky Prince, Destined With You.
Have a great time!

Adam Sandler does this in his Films.
