ok... exactly. We interpret it in a very different way! This question would be interesting indeed. Let's hope the screenwriter will reveal sth in the future!

right... do you know what "swoon over" means? If she was "swooning over" Jungwoo it means that she'd want to be with him... Yes, she liked him because he was her ex, and all these instances you describe were her being nostalgic about the past. Her feelings about the present were mature appreciation, esp. for his good side -the side of him before their clash and break up. She kept believing in his good side, even though he hurt her again (in that scene when she overhears him talking bad about her on the phone). You said it yourself: she never went back to him. And this for a a good reason: the lingering feelings, that I just described, are nothing sort of romantic love (i.e. swooning)! She very clearly doesn't have any romantic feelings for Albert either! It's very fair to say that she has no romantic feelings during the show's run at all, and this is fine. She loves so many of the remarkable characters in the show and Jungwoo does have a place among the ppl that she likes. She used to love him when they were together, not now. She's not just making the sensible choice not to be with him despite being in love with him. She's not in love with him anymore! I don't understand how you think being nostalgic about a past love equals present love...!

yeah I know she isn't supposed to be asexual. I stated it was just an interpretation. I don't agree that she was swooning over her ex. I think her priority and passion was her job and her mission. This is why an aromantic / asexual interpretation makes (at least a little, at least to me) sense.

I really wish there was a hint to romance with Albert but nobody's perfect. Someone said that Geum Bo is asexual and so am I, can't really get mad about it if I interpret it like this too hahaha

not a spoiler per se, but I'm going to be referring to the last episode in this comment.If not for the last episode, this kdrama would have been perfect. I don't know why it's so popular these past couple years to have a last episode full of surprises. They could have invested the extra time to the relationships of the characters we already knew.

omg! sorry this took me ages,, I had no idea you had replied to me! I totally agree, that's a really convincing interpretation about female lead and second male leads' relationship...Honestly, this kdrama becomes even more frustrating when you're trying to make sense of it. It had no respect for its own characters.

exactly! The writers really seemed to hate Seonwoo. (spoiler: He even took back his confession to Darim and Darim believed him?? After Darim and us, the viewers clearly saw him fighting over her with Jihyeok? How on earth are we supposed to accept that she didn't notice? Also the rivalry scenes were supposed to be funny but they were too lengthy and ended up being tiresome)

A perfect legal drama. Especially for anyone with an interest in law.
