He is going to feel so happy and so angry at the same time, it's gonna be wild to watch.

I actually find it refreshing to have a writer switch things up. We got to see how well they work right from the start, and so we are so much more invested. I prefer to explore the complicated emotions they are feeling now because they both need to grow in important ways, and they will be even better together after they do that.

Yeah I agree idk why people expect them to get together in any ep but the 2nd to last or last. The whole point of the show is to explore the idea of falling in love w someone you thought was single only to find out she's married and the complicated emotions that would come with that. I'd much rather wait for them to get together than have them get together too early only for them to separate again so the show can add "drama" to get us to the last ep.

But even if it is the central part of the plot, the writer still needs to make it interesting. Which they have done so far, for example, him finding out the husband was "cheating" that was a nice twist that added more complications. But at this point it is starting to feel a bit repetitive, and so I just want the writer to add something else to complicate it, or up the stakes, or add some kind of little twist to keep things interesting.

I agree. It's not like she was stuck in a cave with her legs broken--they told him that JH found her and she was fine and they were just waiting out the storm. That was just him being possessive and trying to force his way into the role of the "worried husband." It was uncomfortable tbh

I feel like they were doing it to be able to draw a parallel with her father, and to have him be the one person who is always there for her instead of he having to be the one to always take care of others

I agree. At this point it is very clear to her that he is suffering--I think before this week she could still convince herself that he didn't feel anything. And I think if he had found out she wasn't actually married before this week he would have been more relieved than upset. But dude is have a trauma-induced identity crisis now, and I can't help but think he is going to feel really betrayed by her when he finds out. And rightly so. She should have told him when she brought over the porridge.

I was most bothered by him telling her to just quit the job--like bro, you really gonna have her quit this amazing opportunity where she can finally dig herself out a debt so you won't have to compete with another man when you're not even dating her rn? He doesn't actually care about her, he just wants to own her.

I agree that da rim crossed the line but he is sending her mixed signals as well, he told her he is being swayed by her and held her and tried to kiss her the literal day before. She has tried to put up boundaries and he crosses them, then she gives in a little and he pulls back and tells her to stop acting like they're more than coworkers, which is pretty hypocritical. They just keep doing this back and forth tango, both of them are frustrating me at this point.

I am totally with you that the second leads romance is pointless and one sided and just doesn't make sense rn, and I REALLLLY hope JH finds out soon, if he could find out in ep 8 that would be so fantastic

The ML has been so inconsistent, he's nice one second, yelling at her the next, ignoring her the next. I wouldn't trust him up until this point either. We can see his side so we know he's just going through it emotionally and doesn't know how to handle how deep his feelings go, but she doesn't know that until the very end of this last ep, really. And she saw how angry he was at her for supposedly lying about not being married w a kid , and in her mind pretending to be married is probably even worse. ALSO now that she is realizing her own feelings she has a lot more to lose.

There is a huge difference between the 2FL who fell in love with the 2ML with zero encouragement on his side due to a fantasy she had about who he is, ignored him saying he is interested in someone else and not her, blackmailed him just so he would spend time with her while he has made it very obvious he doesn't really want to spend time with her. Versus the ML who fell in love by seeing who the FL was as a person and through a very mutual attraction and romance WHILE THEY WERE BOTH SINGLE, tried very hard to distance himself from the FL after finding out she was "married", the fact that the FL is only pretending to be married and very clearly giving off crazy mixed signals and encouraging the ML that the ML is picking up on, him thinking the 2ML is cheating on her and she is in the hospital from the stress of it. ML is the only true victim in this entire show. You can't ignore the details because they make all the difference and you pretending their situations are the same is way too simplistic an argument.

It really is the main premise of the show, they shouldn't reveal it until they start really building up for the climax. If they had revealed it already I guarantee so many people would be saying how boring the show is now. People watch stories for tension and there is HELLA tension right now and it's why everyone is so addicted to it.

OK this is what I'm curious about! I assumed the mom abandoned them one day and it was really traumatizing, but it would be interesting if it was all b ecause he has had feelings for her all along. I assumed he only developed them recently.

I feel like people forget that drama discussion boards are meant to be real thoughts and opinions, not just what makes them comfortable. If you can't handle someone not liking something you like because, god forbid, you might have to think deeply about why, and you wanna just live in blissful ignorance so you can consume content that makes you feel good and keeps up whatever fantasy you want to have about life and the world, then this probably isn't a good place for you to be coming to read and comment. Maybe find a few friends who think the same as you and talk to them about the drama instead of demanding the rest of us dumb down or ignore our own thoughts and feelings so that you don't have to think critically.

You are me. I was like let me just see if this is good NOW THE DAYS TO THE NEXT EP ARE TORTURE

I don't see how the ML is even really being shades of grey morally? People seem to have amnesia and forget the ML was super upset when he found out she had a husband and literally hid in his house to try and end any association with her, and she is the one who did not give up until he let her stay being employed. He had this amazing one of a kind experience with her and can't just wish away the huge attachment he naturally formed for her, so he's trying his best to keep things above board while being forced to work closely with her, but then finds out (so he thinks) the husband is cheating on her, STILL tries to not get any more attached to her while she's out here flirting with him and sending him mixed signals, and then collapsing from the stress of what he thinks is her asshole husband neglecting her. He's a human being, like what is he supposed to do at this point? He's not some careless guy who has been relentlessly pursuing her. He's just exhausted trying to fight what the universe seems to be constantly pushing him towards.

Totally agree. The ML thinking the 2ML is cheating is such a juicy twist and brings out so much of his internal struggle, let's enjoy this for a while before he finds out she's not actually married. That revelation is going to set up the final act of the show, so it can't come too soon.

sh**tting stars has a similar vibe imo

She is controlling and has zero self respect, I don't get it. If she had confessed to him then left him alone and lived her best life knowing he'd come back to her if it was the right thing, that would have been badass. But she literally blackmailed him into spending time with her instead, how is that anything but toxic and pathetic?

So agreed. The ML is treating her like someone he loves--his actions are driven by looking out for her interests and causing her the least amount of pain. The 2ML is treating her like a possession--his actions are driven by his own need to be liked by her or "win" her for his own ego. They are on two separate sides of the spectrum.

The show has done a good job of showing that Darim is the kind of person who doesn't like to rely on anyone because she just expects to be let down in the long run. She doesn't believe people think she is worth it, so she will go out of her way to not owe anyone anything so that if they walk away then she can look at it like a transaction and not get hurt. She immediately treated him paying the loan sharks like he was a bank she could pay back, not like the gift he meant it to be. Her character arc is learning that she is valuable for more than just making other people's lives easier, and that it's okay to rely on someone and trust them to take care of you. So it makes sense she wouldn't want to tell him and risk getting hurt at this point especially considering how inconsistently he's acted from the very beginning--seeming to love her one second and then dislike her the next. She has to learn to trust him first.
