No!

Okay, I wanted to wait till the entire kiss scene happened, it was cut off mid in the last episode, to be shown today. Someone commented here, that it was a sexual assault. I refused to believe that and hence waited to see today's episode to understand the scene. I saw the entire scene today in X, as few scenes are already released. NO it was NOT forced. ML kissed her, she was shocked. She then held him and kissed him back. When she kisses him back, the entire FORCED allegation, stands vague.
Then she remembered that ML has a would-be-wife, whom she saw with ML that day, in a strange position and she misunderstood them to be kissing. So she pushed him! She did not push him because she did not like him back or because she did not want the kiss, she pushed him because she does not want to be a third person in a relationship.

I don't know which dramas you watch, but all the SMLs even after knowing that FL have no interest in them, confess their love, coerce them to love them, point out the flaws in ML, do everything to gain their love. Here the SML did nothing. For me it felt like, he loves her, but he is happy to see her happy with the ML. Yes he knew he would be rejected, all the SMLs know they would be rejected, people still try. Here SML did not. He was happy to be her friend only.
I think SML left for law school later. For me it felt like, the hug was the last thing that SML did in love. After that he would try to let go off his feelings and move on. It was not inappropriate, because FL did not feel so. Even for the viewers, like I think you are the only one whom I spoke to have this opinion. The hug really felt sweet. At the end of the day, he loved her, she did not. Why did a hug piss you off so much?
Even the ML knew SML loved FL. But he knew SML was a nice person. Did he say something? He was not even jealous, angry. He still considered him a friend. Because even before love, all the three of them were good friends, who wanted good for each other.
But yeah okay I get your point. I for sure wouldn't change my perspective and you wouldn't change yours. So its okay. Lets agree to disagree and move on.

Feelings are not like a switch. You cannot turn it on or off! He knew leads were in love and that is why he never proposed his love to FL. He never tried to instigate, manipulate FL against ML. He was a good friend to both of them, as they were to him.
It was a picture of their shadows, no it was not creepy, even ML knew and he did not find it creepy. He was in love, he was sad, he just took a picture. I actually thought it was beautiful. It was such a sweet moment of love. He would glance at her shadow picture if he missed her, it was such a sweet gesture.
A hug? Since when a hug is a problem. It was not like a friends hug. It was more like a goodbye hug, as if he was letting go of his feelings finally. Was the FL uncomfortable with the hug? No! Then how was it crossing the line. He loved her, he desired her hence, but did he act on it, did he do anything to create problems between the leads, he did not even confess. For me, he was the most normal one sided lovers ever in the history of kdramas! You can have your perspective though!

Its a romcom at the end of the day. Don't worry, I think they will wrap this up by next week, and we will have 4 episodes of happy dating!

Yeah at that time I had not seen today's episode. I just saw the preview, so it felt like a love confession scene. I did write a comment later here as well after seeing today's episode. Now I think she would confess the truth which he already knows during the rain sequence. I honestly want her to go behind the ML, asking for forgiveness because poor ML was tormented by her. So maybe not the kiss in that scene, but the rain and them looked so pretty so maybe my heart wants it, because as viewers we have been tormented as well for a few episodes.

We have 6 episodes to go! ML knows the truth! Enough time for FL to confess her lies(the rain sequence hoping so), repent, angst, anguish, confess love, date, marriage! Do everything properly!
Also I don't want SML to end up with SFL anymore. All your chances are gone. Even in ep 9 preview, you still want Darim, then just be a single father for whole your life alone. Like SFL is way out of your league, but I would have understood if you genuinely liked her, but treating her as the last option, absolute no!!!

Right! I mean most of the times in romcoms, FLs lie for pathetic foolish reasons, but here though I feel really bad for our tormented ML, FL doesn't have other options!

My heart says they will kiss in the the rain in the preview of the next episode after the whole revelation ! Say true to your title! Have a dynamite kiss again!

I don't think it matters anymore! ML now knows, the rain sequence in the preview, I think that would be the truth revelation scene! So even if SML cries, I don't think it would be in his hands anymore!

For sure it not! But what choice does she have? Who should she think about at the moment, her ailing mother, or a person she likes for a few weeks? She is wrong, but she doesn't have a better choice.
Also it doesn't matter what women we want to see? We have many kdramas where women are strong, badass. Darim is not the one. She is kind, weak person. She thinks herself of a failure, because she doesn't have a job at the age of 30. She was unable to support her family. The lie is the only thing, that is supporting her, earning her money, to give her mother's medical bills. Plus now she also owes the ML some money.
Does that mean Darim is doing the right thing? Maybe not from a viewer's perspective. But she is thinking as a daughter. I don't see much options for her currently! She said herself in one of the scenes- Beggars cannot be choosers! Her morality, her values, truth nothing is important, than her mother's hospital bills, and the money she owes to the ML currently.

No it is not!

All the romcoms especially the ones with rich ceo ML and poor FL actually became monotonous for me! Be it fake marriage, or be childhood connection or anything they showed, was no more exciting for me. Here they have engulfed a fake marriage but not between the leads. We have a SFL who is not crazy about ML. Though the SML is in love with FL he isn't really a very bad toxic person, at least till now. Most of the times, FL in these dramas lie for no big reason, they can easily come clean, they choose not to. Here, I totally understand the FL, the situation she has, its basically do or die. From ep 3 to ep 6, the entire misunderstanding ML thinking that SFL and SML are having an affair, with SML being married to FL, and ML himself falling in love, the comic timings, the entire thing has really been entertaining to me. Today's episode, they really showed the angst part well, and I think it will continue for another episode.
Overall, I am not a big fan of romcoms, though I have watched many, its not my favourite genre. But since ep 1, this drama, has been really exciting for me. Their whole meetup in Jeju Island, attraction, kiss, almost sleeping together, the entire buildup was great as well.
Like I found this drama way more entertaining and a little different from other popular ones.

Exactly! Like we have 14 episodes, also this misunderstanding is actually the entire plot. If they clear it way soon, then there would be nothing to show! I am enjoying it, yes its tormenting for the ML currently, but if they wrap this misunderstanding in 9-10, we would still have 4 episodes to enjoy! I will be satisfied!

I hope the truth is revealed in 2 episodes from now max!

This has 14 episodes, so we have enough time, and I think that's why they did drag a little.

I am actually trying to understand the four of them, even the ML's sister. Like I get the reasons for their respective behaviour. Unlike others I am not hating on SML but I think this entire love triangle thing could have been avoided.

Honestly I really think its a lot better than other romcoms with the rich ceo poor FL plot. At least here they have a whole different plot! The comic scenes here are also great, and they have it a lot, not in today's episode though! Also the way these two look at each other, they have such good chemistry, the ones who casted them deserve a raise! Also I would be lying if I said I am not enjoying the angst, while completely understanding the FL and ML and the reason of their behaviour!
Dating era come soon!!!!

Exactly!

First it was funny, but now the poor guy is tormented! I really hope they clear the misunderstandings by tomorrow, even if its in the last scene! He doesn't really deserve this! After the revelation if he gets angry on FL, I wouldn't blame him honestly!
