The scene starts with them on the bench, and at no point is it shown that he was being disrespectful or taunting. It was more like he was shocked to see the woman ,who had previously aborted their child because she didn’t want to be a mother, now pregnant with the child of his former friend.

He is not acting entitled about what she does with her body, but since they were in a relationship and she unilaterally made the decision to terminate the pregnancy, it’s natural that there would be some resentment.
He is a father who lost his child.

As for the remark that he shouldn’t have let her go, she had already made it clear that she didn’t want to have a child by choosing to abort their unborn baby. Expecting him to stay with her in the hope that she might eventually change her mind is unfair to both of them.
It would be like asking someone to keep investing in a partnership where the other person has already rejected the goal, hoping they might someday come around. That’s not love; that’s SELF-BETRAYAL.

It seems that their relationship is more amicable than what we have seen so far.

And as for you second question it would make another great episode with case being friends suing each other.

Honestly, I think he has every right to feel hurt about losing his unborn child especially since the abortion was her decision alone. At the same time, she absolutely has the right to choose when and with whom she wants to have a child. Both can be true.

Grief doesn’t have to meet someone else’s standards to be valid. Saying he’s “playing the victim” over an unborn child is unfair. Loss is loss, and trauma hits people differently.They broke up, and she moved on that’s totally fine.

Their conversation seemed to take a turn when she said, “You could’ve been the father if you had stayed.” That came off as taunting, whether she meant it or not. And instead of saying she is not comfortable with the smell of cologne and has bad morningsickness, she said the baby wasn’t comfortable which felt like another subtle taunt. I think she got defensive and did it subconsciously, it's just human nature.

That said, they’re still co-parenting a pet, and apparently she even still makes his cologne. So maybe the breakup wasn’t as messy as it might seem at first glance.

I hope this is implemented. It would definitely help in discovering new dramas and not judging them prematurely based on their ratings.

Yes, it’s surprising how he opens up to her and she to him, it’s like they’re comfortable enough in each other’s presence to share parts of their private lives that they wouldn’t even discuss with their close friends.

The little girl is such a great actress, I could feel her fear through the screen.

It’s hard to judge so far since we’ve only gotten glimpses of the past, but one of my hypotheses is that ML was not the father of the child. The reason I think this is because his ex is in a relationship with an old friend they had in common, a relationship that supposedly started after they broke up.

I’m just loving the drama so far and want to know more about both leads’ pasts. I do sense some romance brewing, but I’d prefer it to be a more mature romance rather than the cliché of a girl falling for a stoic boy who doesn’t express his emotions well. I hope that if there is romance, it doesn’t take too much focus away from the story and instead stays in the background, providing a sense of comfort within the drama.

I’d love to know more about ML’s past. From the hints we’ve gotten so far, it seems the breakup was on bad terms, and there might have been some infidelity involved. I’m also curious why, despite him wanting to be a father so much, he still agreed not to have kids with his ex. Maybe he wanted to be a father after the abortion, but she didn’t, and that’s when they parted ways.

The thing I was afraid of happened ML found out about his ex’s pregnancy at the worst possible time. First, he had a child abuse case, which really showed us how much he wants to be a father, and then his own ‘child’ (his dog) fell ill.

I do think it is not only about mother's but also fathers, a great example will me fls father also going along with the decision to abandon his other daughter also the ex of fl being selfish and breaking up About something that has yet to happen.

Since they are avoiding each other I don't think he is aware about her pregnancy and when he discovers it will be a pivotal moment for him motivating him to move on.

This episode gave us a glimpse into both leads’ pasts to some extent, and I like how the story is progressing so far.
Regarding ML’s past, that scene was heartbreaking. But it is her choice what to do with her body, and since they had agreed to have no kids, it’s also understandable. Still, my dichotomous mind feels it should have been discussed. The last scene was an absolute knife-to-the-heart moment if by any chance ML is unaware of it, it will completely shatter him.

I thought it was someone else leading to an misunderstanding.

Not that but the kiss or did i miss some info about that?

Same here! I was tired of similar dramas, especially romantic ones, and was looking for something new. This one really helped me unwind. It’s a great slice-of-life drama don’t expect anything overly dramatic. It highlights the challenges and tedious work that lawyers face and follows a group of friends as they navigate these struggles and grow through them.

I need to know what happened between the male lead and female lead in the past.

I’ve always been a fan of the “slight romance” or “pinch of romance” genre,where the story isn’t dominated by romantic elements, but there’s just enough to give me my fix. That’s all I really need.
It’s like a cherry on top of a cake,you know you’ll enjoy the cake either way, but the cherry is a nice bonus. You can have it if you want, or skip it if it’s not your thing. In this case, I already love the drama, and a touch of romance would be a welcome addition. At the same time, it’s optional and doesn’t take away from the main story for those who aren’t interested in that aspect.

In shows like Voice, there were moments of tenderness between the leads that made us hope for romance,similar to what we saw in The X-Files. On the other hand, there are dramas like Hospital Playlist, where romance exists but isn’t the focal point; it’s simply portrayed as a natural part of life.
I understand what you're trying to say. In fact, when a drama is described as “Law Life,” most of its content usually revolves around that theme. However, other aspects of life will inevitably appear,elements that help us connect with or distance ourselves from certain characters. These are simply tools used to tell the story.
At this point, we're all just speculating. We don’t know yet if there will be any romance. It could end up being a mentor-mentee relationship, or something similar to the dramas you mentioned,where romance isn't present but the potential exists. Or maybe there will be romance,we simply don’t know yet.

There’s an “if” in the sentence above, which implies that it may or may not happen. As you said, every genre has its purpose—but how can we judge something that hasn’t even happened yet? A few funny scenes in a drama don’t automatically make it a comedy, just like Hospital Playlist isn’t classified as a musical drama. Most of the runtime is typically dominated by the primary genre, while other elements are there to help us connect with the characters and support the story’s progression. That seems to be the case with this drama so far. The real issue is people calling something “forced” when it hasn’t even happened yet.
