This show will not have a break up after the leads get together again, because I cannot even begin to imagine that the writers would be so inconsiderate or disrespectful towards to audience to have the main leads break up after all this time waiting and for a "healing" drama...

At this point... I assume that...

I feel like the writers wanted us to emphasize with him in this episode and understand his side of things, and how painful a one sided love really is (maybe even as a parallel to the one sided love that FL claimed for her and ML), but like me, and you, this cannot be the case because Sang Do is not someone who deserves pity, since he did all this to himself by breaking the Bro Code, and even after that for being delusional and completely out of place as a "friend" and a member of the community in a small town where everyone knew ML and FL belong together!

I have had the pleasure to find what I mentioned before a few times, but I hope more options are available in the near future

While I hate the dad's character, I must say that the actor is on a different level! That man is a great actor!

At this point I am sure that all the hate from the father and the stress he constantly causes to the mother which also reminded her of the death of her very best friend is the mai. reason why she is sick... He doing two things his wife would hate to happen; he is breaking their kids apart and he is literally, killing her best friend...

Two things I need writers to either stop using or use in a more smart and efficient way for the plot. Those are "Love Triangles" and the "making someone a killer" or "responsible" for the death of someone because of an accident or in some cases because the person was around or something like that at the moment of the accident...

I agree with this. Both mothers were friends and like sisters.

I am sure there is a lot of people hurting as much as him, but they moved on by now.

Only five minutes in and at this point it does not matter how much people try to speak up for this selfish and stubborn old man... This guy is just pulling everyone into his pain and not ending self punishment... He is competing with Sang Do to get on my nerves...

That would have been a much better Love Triangle! Sang Do serves no purpose and is dead weight to a relationship that is already at the bottom... plus he is the worst friend ever..

I believe the female lead is aware about her feelings for ML, and deep down is not like she doesn't want to get together, but she is haunted by the reason they broke up, and family seems to be very important, and I am sure she wouldn't want to be the cause for father and son to distance from each other plus this culture seems to strongly believe in not only a relationship between individuals, but also between their families with small expectations where the family does not get involved or is just not present in the story. It only makes sense that it is ML chasing FL, but I get your point, she should start moving in his direction more and more at this point. And about the Love Triangle, I hate love triangles, but I understand that if used properly it can contribute to the story, however, in this case it adds nothing to the story, on the contrary, it takes from the story and promises to bring more problems and obstacles to the already difficult reconciliation between the main leads. That love triangle should have been addressed earlier, and more time should have been dedicated to the plot and even side characters...

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't feel like anybody is making ML responsible for the break up, or giving him hard time because of that. After the previous episode it seems to be clear that one of the reasons why the female lead is running away from getting back together with the male lead is because his dad doesn't want them together.

What are you referring to when you say that "they want the ML to take responsibility over something he did not do"? what is that thing?

Okay ... I may watch this then..!

I agree with you

I agree. This kind of love triangles only add angst to the story, and add nothing to the plot or character development to a story that is already in need of elements, since the whole plot is going in circles about how the main leads used to love each other, had to break up because of the father, don't get back together because of "trauma" and fear the dad will "hate" them (which he already does) or the mother will get a heart attack or something (That woman has proven to be made of steel diving with a heart condition for 8 years and only one incident), oh and, the FL finding her true call in her hometown or something, dragging, dragging and circles... The plot is not necessarily bad, but is only a few steps away from where things were on earlier episodes. I do like the show, but only because is somewhat "light" I guess, and because I skip Sang Do...

Indeed. While it is true that he is grieving the death of his wife, it was an accident, and hating this family as much as he does would only make his wife extremely sad if she could see all that he has done, including coming between the two that were promised to each other from the day they were born. Anyway, regardless of whatever his reasons are he only knows how to stress everyone around him and impose his own frustration upon others... He, and then Sang Do are the characters that always get on my nerves in this show...

I agree. For example, the male lead must stand to his father now to fight for his relationship with the female lead, but that means that he could've done this from the beginning! Male Lead is not perfect and he also failed at protecting his relationship even when the writers want to paint him as martyr because he broke up to protect others, but he did it at the expense of the Female Lead's heart, which literally broke her, and became one of the reasons why she never looked back. The break up happened after years had passed since the mother died, so male lead should have stood his ground and help his father dealing with his grief earlier which would have been best for everyone, and I highly doubt that any of this would have caused the female lead's mother to have a heart attack... They both have made huge mistakes, and should do better in the present of the really love each other.

I wouldn't call this trash, but is far from perfect, and has a lot wasted potential...
