I am on the same page. The dad was a evil, but it is not that you are overthinking.
As a matter of fact, the show tells you clearly what's going to happen if you pay close attention to the details.
The father wasn't present in his son's life even when we knew he was alive. The reaction of the brother when he received a message from his dad which triggered him to contact his brother. Closer to the present, you have that a stranger is going around and the main couple's house is ransacked soon after, and right before the old man shows.
Quick follow up on my last comment, Love story in the 1970's fits perfectly onto the list. No break up at all,…
Romance dramas have shown me that romance doesn't necessarily happen only after the couple gets together, but from the moment they meet and can be observed in the small details.
I decided to start watching this one based on your recommendation, and I can feel the romance between them from the moment they showed their past, and now that the started interacting directly on episode 2. I have a good feeling about this one.
Maybe is the years watching K-Dramas, but I saw this happening from a mile away! I have repeated and repeated…
On the contrary, the drama failed with such a long and unnecessary love triangle, but what actually happened is there. If you doubt me, you can rewatch the episodes and you either confirm what I am saying or proof me wrong. However, I am confident in my analysis, and while it doesn't excuse the huge flaws of this production, that doesn't mean that it doesn't have positive outcomes and smart developments that delivered in the end, even if it took too long.

This is also true! He was definitely using as many elements of influence as he could. The guy was putting pressure and blocking her other options.
He would overwhelm her with work, then constantly bring up that they were close 7 years ago, then invading her private space more and more at work and in her personal life, then making public displays to force her to comply, then take rejection away from her options with things like "don't answer me now, but go on three dates with me first", then getting involved with her nephew, and then trying to capitalize with his sad background to force her to comply out of pity.
The girl was slow and she should've known better, but her character was written like that, like someone that was trying her best just to get by. Saying no, would only make things awkward for her since the guy is her boss and an old friend to whom saying no would be rude.
The hate towards her character and the actress is wrong. You can dislike her character and disagree with her, but the hate is unfounded.
There is most definitely power play involved here. The guy made sure to trap her in a corner using his influence as her boss and abusing the fact that they were flirting years ago, while invading her spaces, actively trying to hurt ML with his public demonstrations and even forcing the image that they were a thing by going everywhere with her, to what she couldn't say no without being rude or offensive, until she had no other option.
So basicaly since ep 4 they turned Woojoo into a sidecaracter and his only purpose was to bring FL and SML together…
To be fair, I consider that episode 9 is one of the best episodes of the show. The love triangle was overdone and overwhelming and that cannot be changed, but episode 9 did was should have been done two or three episodes before, which was advance the family plot, and taking the first steps to finally close the love triangle. The problem is that even if the last episodes are perfect, the time wasted on the love triangle is already wasted.
Fl only kissed ml because she needs a maid ...there is no love there after her dining and wining witj sml. Lol…
They even give you a compilation of some of their scenes together and she talks about it, so there was romance developing between them. We are all upset with the overwhelming love triangle, but the fact is that she has been in love with our uncle almost from the beginning of the show, but we were forced through the other trope of not being able to recognize the obvious until you almost loose it.
Maybe is the years watching K-Dramas, but I saw this happening from a mile away! I have repeated and repeated…
All the signs were there! I understand that people got upset because the love triangle trope was overdone and overwhelming, but even with the love triangle you could see the little things that only happened between the main couple.
Maybe is the years watching K-Dramas, but I saw this happening from a mile away! I have repeated and repeated that the love triangle trope was intended for the girl to experience the superficial and hollow perfect relationship versus the genuine and true love.
I was also right about her feeling uncomfortable on episode 9, and maybe even from before, and it was all over her face. The girl looked tired and more than complying because she liked the guy is like fear of saying no to someone you consider superior.
The nature of the interactions was completely different from the beginning. The SML while having exclusive scenes with a lot of colors, was not only forcing his way, but overwhelming and without any depth other the meeting an old friend, for which the first interactions were more than enough, while with ML while simpler, things were more intimate.
The girl only touched hands with ML, she only ever had physical contact with ML, and the way she looked at him was warm and caring.
I made clear that I understand this trope, but dedicating so much time and attention to it, was wrong. I feel like everything that happened on episode 9 and 10, at least about closing the love triangle, could have happened in one episode, and even before episode 9, the whole execution of the trope with the girl and SML spending time together should've been for no more than 2 episodes.
I don't expect the main couple to break up now, and they will give us as much dating era as possible, but two things will remain until the end. The first one is SML being nice to FL, which will be inconsequential now because she will finally not go with whatever he wants to do, and will keep some distance outside of work, and of course, the kid's grandad which will only be resolved in the last episode to close the plot.
The difference is that "Spring Fever" doesn't deviate from the original premise, allow character development and the romance between the main couple is straight forward without unnecessary complications.
As an outsider coming back here and X every week to see everyone’s reaction on this show is the most entertaining…
I started like that, and made the mistake of switching from outsider reading comments, to watching the thing and be haunted by these expectations that things will get better only for things to get worse...
Tbh I don't even know what I'm watching anymore... Like I'm sorry but it's my first time watching a kdrama where…
This has turned so bad, and this might be controversial, but even the baby character is not likable anymore. The kid is just decoration at the moment.
The story should be about the kid, but at least before, with the love triangle, the kid would reject this other dude trying to force his way in, but now even the baby is completely fine with the replacement. I thought that the baby would reject the guy, bite him, kick him and even get sick because his uncle left, but the baby became another device for SML to keep going deeper into FL's life which is just uncomfortable to watch by now.
ML is not perfect, and his noble sacrifice of going away and thinking that she should be SML is beyond stupid, but I am still on his team for now.
