No offense to you at all but this comment is one of the main reasons I won't be posting my Jipyeong thoughts on here. I never in my comment mentioned about me writing about Dosan. I wanted to write about the flaws I see in Jipyeong's character and bring to attention things a lot of people here have swept under the rug about him since the majority of this comment section loves him.

I never said I was going to write about Dosan or how he is perfect, because he's not. But you resorting to sarcasm about it and not actually acknowledging what I wanted to post about is kind of a condescending tone that you've been able to take because like I said the majority of this site will agree with you.

I'm sorry but this comment is proving my point exactly.

"He was harsh but he was never wrong." He called a sick day on the day he was supposed to show up for the panel because of how wrong he was when it came to Samsan Tech. His ego was wounded because of being wrong and he stayed home the day that they needed him the most.

I'm a huge Dosan fan but even I realize his faults. The problem with this comment section is that to a lot of you (not all of you but a lot), spend so much time justifying Jipyeong's faults like this.

That’s the problem. There is no enlightening this comment section as you have all found ways to personally justify his actions.

One example is how rude Jipyeong was to Samson Tech, telling them there was no chance at success. You all have managed to justify his behavior to the three as brutal honesty, when in fact it wasn’t. They succeeded. It was just him being cold and cruel. And because a lot of you don’t like Dosan and his friends, everything Jipyeong does that hurts them can be justified to you. I have a lot of examples of behaviors that Jipyeong shows that line up with the cold, harsh male characters of early ‘00 dramas, but I can’t share them without you guys either attempting to justify them or bringing up Dosan and his faults.

I really want to write a post about how toxic of a character Jipyeong is and how surprised I am at how many fans he has and the reasons I think he does. You know, the posts you guys write about Dosan all day. But I can’t on here because to most of you everything he does is justified since you just see posts supporting him all day long on here and can talk badly about Dosan all you want. You’ve really created a scary echo chamber in this comment section.

You do realize MDL is just a small part of the fandom right? There are a lot of people who love Dosan. You need to go to other outlets because it seems like you’re becoming a little bit deluded only hearing your side day in and day out.

I love this advice!

It's scary how he is threatening you! I hope he gets banned!

Except I don't think that Dosan's dislike of Jipyeong is unfair. Jipyeong dislikes Dosan and Dosan dislikes Jipyeong. They don't like each other because they like the same girl. But for me, Dosan's dislike seems more justified since Jipyeong pushes boundaries like asking to stay at Dalmi's house when just Dosan was invited. Dude, that's his girl not yours haha!

I think OneAhjussi is just a troll. He seems to be obsessed every time you post haha! Don't worry too much about him. The harassing goes both ways on this forum though. I have seen some pretty cruel Jipyeong and Dosan stans.

I think the problem that you have is saying that Jipyeong has grown from his flaws and Dosan has not.

Dosan has grown so much from his flaws. Lying to Dalmi constantly broke him down and made him feel guilty and upset. So he decided he was done with lies and encourages Dalmi to be honest in their presentation. There's a lot of ways that Dosan has grown as the drama progresses. He has gained a lot of confidence and stands up for himself more because Dalmi has given him a lot of confidence.

It's unfair to say that Jipyeong has grown from his flaws and Dosan is not. I think both have grown in different ways as the show has progressed.

But the thing about this drama is that even if Dosan does unhealthy things, Jipyeong does unhealthy things too. Constantly telling Samsan Tech they will go nowhere and will fail is not constructive criticism, it is pushing that point. Not telling Dalmi about the letters and stringing up lies was more cowardice than anything in my opinion. There's a lot that is toxic about Jipyeong as a character. So, yes Dosan has problems, but Jipyeong has a lot as well. No one is perfect and that's life. You're never going to find the perfect person. Everyone has problems.

I love Yongsan, but I think you might be right.

Oh wow! I agree with everything in this! You put your thoughts together so nice! I think Dosan is one of my favorite characters in a drama in a very long time, so I appreciate you standing up for him on here!

I think so too! For me, it shows that he understands how much help Jipyeong can be even if he doesn't like him. It takes a lot of strength to ask for help from someone you don't get along with.

Basically this whole comment section is stuff about Jipyeong. You can comment on all of those posts. Not everything is about you guys. Dosan has fans, too!

I think he just gets very frustrated around Jipyeong since Jipyeong pushes his buttons when he is the one dating Dosan, not Jipyeong. He gets defensive and to me, it feels relatable even if he makes mistakes like lashing out at Jipyeong and punching him.

Now that I know there are some Dosan fans in this comment section, what is your favorite Dosan and Dalmi moment in the show? Mine is when he takes Dalmi and her grandmother to the beach after seeing how Dalmi reacted to the comment about seeing beautiful things for the last time. It was so sweet and showed how much he cares about Dalmi and her grandmother.

I don't think someone reacting differently to a situation makes it not okay. People are all different and can react emotionally like Dosan. His feelings are valid just like Jipyeong's are.

I don't think calling Dosan childish for showing his emotions more than Jipyeong is very fair. I think he's a soft, emotional person who acts strongly on how he feels, which is why a lot of us like Dosan.

I think it's sweet how Dosan's dream is Dalmi. There's more to life than money and a career, and Dosan realizes that.

Are there any Dosan fans still in this comment section? Sometimes I get a little worried scrolling through and seeing so many people worship Jipyeong like he's a perfect character. My favorite thing about this drama is that all the characters are imperfect and have flaws just like real people.

Anyways, if you're a Dosan fan like my comment!
