I like mature romances like this where it's okay if they both loved other people at one point, if the timing wasn't right for them at one point, that doesn't mean they can't reconnect and have a beautiful and meaningful romance later in life.
Wow this young and educated and DUMB FL... cannot see that she is officially married AND chasing her boss????…
Can you tone down the name calling and cruelty please? It's kinda concerning. It's fine if you're not a fan of the FL but calling her names is offensive and ridiculous
I'm still good with the misunderstanding plotline since it's what I signed up for, but in terms of pacing, the…
Totally agree. I think it is important that he is really upset when he finds out she lied, if he found out too soon he would have jsut been relieved and they would'nt have had to work through anything. But he should have found out at the end of last ep or at the beginning of this one, and then I think he should have kept the secret to himself while he thought about what he wanted to do, I feel like he deserves at least one ep where he knows and she doesn't know he knows so that he can be the one in control finally.
I kinda wish that the ML would have driven the line between them a bit sooner, or a bit stronger… or, I think,…
See, I feel like this is a realistic representation of someone who has denied letting themself get attached to anyone for their whole life cause of trauma, and suddenly finds themself attached. Infatuation can be very powerful, esp if it is based on something more meaningful and if this is the first time he has felt deeply for someone it would make sense that he would think it might be his only chance at love. He tried to severe all connection at first but she refused to quit, he tried ignoring her but he couldn't not lead the team when they needed him. He found out her husband is cheating which added a whole other layer for him. He can also subconsciously sense that she is attached to him in a way that doens't really make sense to him if she's married. So saying he has no respect for himself is way too harsh. He is a flawed character who has been put into probably the most challenging situation for him to navigate. It's super hard to get over someone when you have to see them every single day, he hasn't had time to move on yet. I think your expectations are unrealistic and would make for a much less engaging character and show
THAT SAID I agree with your sentiment that going forward he needs to not just fold after finding out she lied. And I don't think he will, I think he is going to make her shape up a bit before being with her in the end.
I really wish if she could find out about his trauma. It's morally wrong of course, but JH's reaction goes beyond…
I totally agree. She has no idea how heartbroken he is like 24/7 at this point, and I think she was starting to undersatnd his true feelings but then backed off when she saw he was engaged.
sfl should go to go darim and tell her everything because these two men are embarrassing ffs
This would have been SO much better of an idea. 2FL is supposed to be this independent go getter, it would be so refreshing if she was a girl's girl instead, and was like look my fiance is punching out your fake husband he's so in love with you, let's go get our men.
Yeah FL is an idiot and keeps lying. She is also delusionally chasing ML without any thought that she is supposedly…
Please pelase drop it so we don't have to read this juvenile crap again next week what are you even talking about this is such an unhinged take on the FL
I think it is high time that they get rid of the love triangle plot. They should've just stuck to keeping the…
10000% agree. Watching the ML be super heartbroken is bad enough, it would totally have taken the edge off if the 2ML thought he was just protecting his bestie vs being a manipulative, selfish loser.
It's completely ruined the second love line, nothing they do will feel remotely realistic at this point since there have been zero development between them and we are running out of episodes. 2ML is gonna wake up one day in love with 2FL just like he woke up one day suddenly in love with the FL. He will have had 3 different personality transplants by the end of the show.
what a coward 2ML is, he cant admit his feelings to FL but talks big in front of the ML smh
It's because he knows deep down that she doesn't have feelings for him and that her and JH got some kinda thing going on, so he wants to keep taking advantage of her in their fake marriage deluding himself that he will end up with her. He's totally useless at this point.
I felt so bad for the ML this episode. He is the only one suffering in the dark. But my question is, why didn't…
They had only known each other for a couple of days at that point, and she did not get as attached to him as he did or at least she wasn't aware of it at that point since she was really focused on loan sharks chasing her and her mom almost dying, like I get why she wasn't really thinking about finding love at that moment in time. And what she did is literally fraud and he is the son of the CEO. She could go to jail or get blacklisted from getting hired anywhere ever again. Does it make any sense for her to tell him? I think it would be more ridiculous for her to tell him at that point, why would she risk it when she has so much on the line and doesn't REALLY know who he is? She thinks she's only going to be there 6 months, thinks he doesn't much care for her at that point, doesn't know that she even likes him at that point,.
That look Ji Hyeok gave when he saw them walking together by the tree is one of the most heartbreaking moments I have ever seen. He couldn't help but smile to see her happy while being gutted to see her happy with someone else. If that isn't what love really means idk what does. Stark difference between Seon U who only wants to see her happy if its with him. JKY is really selling this role I am obsessed w him.
I'm disappointed that the writer chose for him to find out she isn't married by accident. Stories are so much better when driven by character actions vs coincidence and it would have been much stronger for someone to tell him--any of the characters that know at this point could have worked--or even for him to find out when he went to the tree because at least it was as a result of him not being able to forget about her. But oh well, I am relieved he will know the truth because it did feel like the show was spinning its wheels this episode and nothing new really happened, it was a repeat of ep 7 essentially.
Ufff....Episode 7 and 8 were really frustrating to watch :(. the show was going so good until the last 2 episodes.…
This is not fair at all. She was really thrown off by seeing him like that at his apt until the next day when she saw he was engaged, then she even said "oh, so that's why he was upset, because of his fiance." Why would she think he was upset about her if he got engaged to someone else? He has been sending her mixed signals the entire time, he himself is trying to hide his feelings, so it makes sense she wouldn't understand how deeply he feels for her.
She's not sitting at home watching our version of the show where we see him staring longingly when she isn't looking and thinking about her every time he's alone and getting all this context so we understand him. How could she possibly know how hurt he is right now? Really think about it. Calling her selfish and undeserving of him when she doesn't have remotely the same insight into him that the viewer does is ridiculous tbh.
Am I the only one who enjoys watching them go through the heartache because it's a sign of how deeply they feel? Love is messy and complicated, people are messy and complicated, and the writer has set up complex characters and put them in the worst possible situation to have feelings for each other, and so to see them unable to stop caring for and wanting to be with the other person even when they believe its impossible makes me feel something so much more powerful than if they were just la di da skipping around town holding hands with nothing in their way. This is why I like rom coms that get dark and real because we ALL know in the end they will get married and have kids, that's the whole premise behind rom coms, but it will feel so much more meaningful after watching them have to fight for the love and through the pain grow to become the people who will forever honor and cherish it.
While many think that E07 didn't offer anything new, however, in my opinion, this episode is important for the…
I agree that this episode was super important and necessary, and him deciding in ep 6 to essentially let himself "go crazy" would have felt really shallow without him really addressing his father's infidelity. But I think after this ep something has to give or it will become stale and repetitive.I don't want to see them just go back and forth crossing the line them coming back over. This writer has done a really good job so far of throwing in another wrench, or upping the stakes, or adding a small twist (like him finding out the husband was "cheating") so I'm hoping we get some kind of new angle in ep 8.
I really love your connection to the two fathers, I hadn't even considered that. We also had the two mothers connecting this ep, and JH's mom realizing that she was causing her son maybe just as much pain as his father had.
Seon U just not wanting things to change actually makes so much sense, and the way he is acting is super desperate and controlling, which would fit in with that. But he doesn't seem concerned with Da rim and her wellbeing, what she wants, what she feels, so I have a hard time empathizing with him, because he is being extremely selfish and self-serving in all of this. He's not even "chasing after her" because if he was he would just tell her point blank he's interested and then let her decide how to move forward. Right now he is taking advantage of her being in a vulnerable situation where she needs him to pretend to be her husband as a way to try and force some sort of connection with her. Even if he is afraid of change this still just feels like it came out of NOWHERE, that's what I have the biggest problem with, he was just the casual chum and then suddenly is ready to dehumanize her and control her just to be with her? IT's bad writing, unfortunately. Especially because at this point there's no way the 2nd leads eventual romance doesn't feel rushed and shallow, as he barely even notices the 2FL.
I think despite what Ji Hyeok said, he has been waiting for this "dynamite kiss" and deep down wanted to find someone who would prove him wrong and make him lose his mind in love, and that's why when he did finally fall for someone he treated it like it was the most precious thing in the world, because to him it is.
