I watched Ep1-12. PSJ carried the whole drama on his shoulders. He is such an amazing and intuitive actor. Hands down.

Glad I found this thread because, I felt like I was being gaslighted into thinking that the FL and the ML are not inside a toxic, emotionally abusive relationsship.

Broken FLs are adorable but to make this FL depressed, abused child, druggie, suicidal, got married to a random drug addict, and ghosts the ML for the stupidest reasons and then comes back when it's convenient. She doesn't give the ML anything and only recieves and let's the ML suspend his life just to help her with all her problems. Now they're trying to redeem the woman in one episode when it's too late.

What kind of person leaves a man twice with the shallowest excuses? Most of the audience are women and more than half of them had been trapped in abusive relationships that they worked so hard to get out of.

Gosh, to use the talented Park Seo Jun to trick the audience into thinking that this is a fated and healthy relationship, that men should have no self-respect and primal desires.

In Gyeongseong creature, Jang Taesang effectively longed for the FL for 75 years. In Itaewon Class, Park Saeroyi said he never kissed someone all his life. In WWSK, Lee Youngjoon was averse to women touching him. I loved all of them because they are well-written characters, until they ruined Lee Gyeongdo.

Please don't say that he chose to be a virgin since college and celibate thereafter because his crotch only flutters for that toxic woman.

Don't even get me started with the FL. She left just when he needed her while his father is fighting fornhis life. She's the poster girl for emotional abuse and I don't like that she is the heroine of this story, not the villain who the ML needs to move on from to find his true love.

To make it funnier, she is now the one pining and chasing on the ML only right after she got dumped. Typical manipulative moves of a narciccist when her supply tries to leave her.

Gyeongdo was doing fine in Malaga and has no plans to return just yet. The writer then k*lls off the friend who stayed with the ML all those years he was recovering from the stonewalling he got from the FL. Mind you, Choi Woo Shik is the name of Park Seo Jun's best friend in real life. No wonder PSJ's acting was personal in the funeral scene. This writer is demented.

The friends and parents are all enablers for letting their loved one still have a relationshop with this FL. I was so glad when amma and appa sent Gyeongdo to travel elsewhere. To me it was an act of compassion for their son to get away from a relationship that causes him pain.

Even in the ending credits, Gyeongdo agreed when the FL said he might not want kids because he is afraid they will end up like her.

How unbelievable PSJ accepted the script. Is the FL the kind of woman we want our friend or family to end up with? I hope not. All his other characters were kick-ass and sharp.

FL sucks the life out of Gyeongdo and when she's around he loses his capacity to dream. His Malaga scenes looked really good even if he is practically a broke waiter because there is no FL baggage that he is suspending his life for. It is the FLs dramas he had to take a break from not his own. Good one, Gyeondo's parents.

What I am mad about is for the FLs behaviour to be dismissed as cute and healthy. Kdramas should put an emphasis to social responsibility. She is a glaring example of narcissism, c'mon.

I really hope PSJ learns from this and become more discerning of the scripts he chooses. Right now people are calling his character a doormat and simp because he allows harmful behaviours by the FL. Don't call it love.

Whenever I see the FL pouting on screen because she didn't get her way, I want to go punch a wall. All her struggles are mostly self-inflicted. She makes decisions without even caring what Gyeongdo will feel because he will still be there when she gets back anyway.

I hope instead this kdrama becomes a warning to women and also to men to learn how to recognize abuse when they see it, detach, and move on accordingly with a healthy partner.

Seo Ji Woo had no business getting into a relationship when what she needed was therapy. This not about the actora but he characters.

I still love PSJ with all my heart and I am still going to watch all his dramas after this. This is hurtful too for a long time fan to say. He is a precious person and he deserves only the best.

I am reminded of the scene in Episode 6 or 7 when Gyeongdo finally knows why FL left him for dead and he's the one who apologized because she must have cried so much.

WTF Gyeongdo was the one who had his parent fighting for his life in the hospital. And the FL could have just waited for him a bit to recover from the trauma of almost losing a parent. She was 28 that time, not a child. The Gyeongdo, after many years, ends up apologizing lol. I think this is where the drama really lost me. I was on auto pilot until the finale.

In Ep12 the mom and dad gave Gyeongdo lot of money even if they were not rich just for him to go out of the country for a year.

Even if Jiwoo was trying her best to get to their good side, I do not see any fondness from them for her, because they left their son way too many times until he became and alcoholic.

Maybe they forced Gyeongdo to get out of SK to get away from Jiwoo and hopefully find a new love somewhere else. No sane parent is going to want this FL for their only son.

Gosh I am more entertained by the scalding comments than the drama itself. I do not think there is a more toxic FL in the history of kdramas. They used my love PSJ to normalize toxicity but even his star power cannot force the audience to love the FL. So many people love PSJ and only went thru this gruelling show for him. He is so loved.

In the post credit scene, Jiwoo even had to ask Gyeongdo "Are you scared that they's take after me?" meaning their future children. Gyeongdo instantly agreed hahaha.

I didn't feel any urgency for him in the finale to stay in Korea. He was going to go back to Malaga but just cannot say no to Jiwoo as per usual. The concept of children with her didn't even cross his mind.

Now that he is broke because of that 1 year hiatus, with children on the way, I'm thinking 20 breakups in the future, with the most nonsense excuses.

I laugh because I cannot recover the 12 episodes I stayed, waiting for a better plot to appear.

I feel like this scene was only added way after the filming wrapped, when they knew that Jiwoo and Gyeongdo love story cannot raise the ratings. The only way they will have a higher rating in the finale is to majorly piss off the audience i.e Woo Shik's death.

As if they didn't already see that problem when they wrote an uberly problematic FL with now redeeming qualities and an ML who tolerates it just because.

I only stayed as long as I have for Park Seo Jun. But I knew it wasn't going to end well since the first episode. Give the female is the most toxic FL I've seen in dramas. Only a few could top her.

Thank you for this brave and insightdul comment. I just can't with the FL. who was wide awake when it rained the worst female attributes.

I would have really loved the drama if Gyeongdo fell in love with someone in Malaga during his sabbatical. That way, the drama will end on a good note.

But no, Wooshik is d*ad and the two unhealthy toxic m*rons are now back together. With Gyeongdo going back to SK a broke man, I can only imagine the number of ways they can break up and make up like crazy lunatics.
