The theories Iāve heard so far are (1) illness (2) failed or secret pregnancy (3) mental health. Isnāt her…
Also they still havenāt revealed what she was up to when out in the morning with that packet ā¦ back in ep 2, before her room got remodeled.
If it was a health issue maybe she was working out her will or something. To help the ML $$ wise. Or maybe it was something else entirely.
Her being sick could also explain why she said it was her fault that the engagement broke off despite us being led to believe that the ex simply cheated. Maybe itās a bit more complicated than we realize.
I know some are hating on SH for the way he's behaving, but I kinda get him. He had feelings for her for so many…
I also think heās trying to establish boundaries. Which is fair. The FL is kind of all over the place and sometimes people just a little time and space to process things. Plus shes never going to see him as anything other than a friend if the dynamic doesnāt change.
My only beef with the guy is that heās making mountains out of molehills a little bit and that he keeps avoiding and then placing the blame on poor timing. The real problem is his own timidity and fearā¦and thinking he can just keep putting this off. That mentality is exactly how he lost her the first time around, so I donāt get why he isnāt more motivated to learn from that and give himself a fighting chance.
it's a normal BUT childish/immature reaction. I feel like i'd expect this from someone in their 20s, but feels…
this is true, just looking at how his parent interact itās like everyone stuffs and buries emotions in that house ā¦ while also acting kind of passsive aggressive bc theyāre not communicating. Itās fine so long as his character actually arcs and he does own up fully and learn the lesson. itāll be annoying if that gets dragged out too much longer tho.
OMFG I HATE IT WHEN THE ML STARTS BEING AN ABSOLUTE A*S TO FL WHEN THEY REALIZE THEIR FEELINGS āš½āš½
I totally agreeā¦but to be fair, I think he is subconsciously trying to lay down boundaries which are needed.
They arenāt kids anymore, heās right about that. Heās not exactly handling this like an adult himself hereā¦but I think heās just trying - very clumsily - to establish more boundaries which is actually good if they hope to make any progress.
I mean heās doing it in an immature way for sure, but clearly his parents arenāt very communicative so expressing emotions in a healthy open way seems like a skill he may be struggling to develop.
He could be more reasonable with his reactions but then too like his ex said thatās a sign of his true lingering feelings that hes been avoiding. He canāt seem to get a handle on his feelings no matter how much time, distance, etc. that there is.
If his character doesnāt arc super quickly from here then Iāll be pissed but rn it feels like heās working through things and almost subconsciously trying to shake up their usual friend-zone, no boundaries, relationship to be different ā¦
That said, I do think it would be better if he would have AT LEAST taken a little more accountability for being in this tough situation in the first place tho. Instead of taking it out on her or throwing a pity party about it. For instance. He could have confessed his feelings to her sooner, before she left for the states. The timing was off when he finally decided to confess partly because he waited so long ā until she was settled in a new country going to college and also kind of lonely. I meanā¦what do you expect to happen? It doesnāt feel like he ever fought very hard for her in the first place, so he really only has himself to blame. I feel like this should push his emotions in a different direction rather than all broody but anyways. His character definitely has some opportunity for growth, I just hope they sort it out quickly and properlyā¦I cannot stand this broody nonsense being dragged out for much longer.
I am with the second female lead on thisā¦why is he making this so hard on himself? Timing and ruining the friendship…
Even his ex girlfriend is trying to help him out šš bc she finds them both so cute and canāt stand it.
sheās literally like use me however you need we need to get this ball rolling already for pityās sake ā¦ you guys are just too darn cute š even tho she likes him!! sheās sees that heās so helpless and the girl he likes is a clueless cutie, she canāt even hardly stand to watch as the ex. that was hilarious.
even the ex canāt deny their chemistry š„š„
this ML is so helpless. I mean bless his heart! but also get it together bro!!! sheesh.
FL canāt read your mind. stop staying stuck in the past and move forward, for real! avoiding is still being stuck ā¦doesnāt he realize this.
oh the ironyā¦this guy is killing me with his hesitation. his ex girlfriend and friends are also like - what are you doing šš
I am with the second female lead on thisā¦why is he making this so hard on himself?
Timing and ruining the friendship is just an excuse at this point to avoid getting hurt. And how is pushing her away and avoiding her like that not ruining the relationship? Like either way the relationship canāt be the same bc of his feelings. Might as well be honest and then see where the chips actually fall ā¦ then work things out from there.
I understand timidity at first, but you would think 10 years of that pain of missing out would be more motivating when she came back single & his feelings rekindled ā¦ not demotivate him completely.
Even if she still hold a flame for her exā¦they broke off an engagement. Which is no small thing to do, especially if you still love that person. That should be more telling to him than anything. Like why is he just so content to give up before ever really trying?
It feels like heās just making excuses bc he doesnāt want to get hurt himself. Which okayā¦as a teenager thatās one thing. But as 30 year old adult itās kind of sad. I felt so hopeful at the end of episode 5 too when he actually admitted to himself that heād been avoiding and running away from his feelings for too long. Like finally heās going to try and face this! and noā¦an entire episode later and heās STILL more committed to avoiding his feelings than anything else.
In real life, I would be wondering if he even really liked this girl.
I sincerely hope they resolve the MLs timidity once and for all next episode bc itās getting pretty exhausting / frustrating to watch. IMO. Literally all his friends advice is the same tooā¦please just pluck up the courage. š«
The second female lead has it right ā¦ heās making this unnecessarily difficult on himself and completely creating a self fulfilling prophecy. He can only save himself from unrequited love!!
I just donāt understand why either. How is what heās experiencing by avoiding any different or better from everything heās afraid of happening by facing it? Itās literally the same if he doesnāt confess anyway. Might as well go for it! I just donāt get it.
Iām with the 2FL ā¦ heās making this was too hard on himself, just confess! I donāt understand the whole pushing her away thing when thatās exactly what he was trying to avoid by NOT confessing in the pastā¦so as not to ruin the relationship. I really hope the next episode resolves this once and for all bc itās exhausting. I mean you would think that 10 years of struggling with this would incentivize him more the moment she became single not less motivated. The second female lead is right, he needs to buck up some courage and move on. Heās too obsessed with the timing thingā¦he just needs to make up his mind, timing or ruining the friendship is just an excuse to avoid getting hurt.
Iām obsessed with this drama. I have been putting this off for so long bc I didnāt really expect much - but this is so unexpectedly good! Run donāt walk. I love this drama!
Man watching those last two episodes was practically torture. BUT the scene with Ba Da and his mom (and the uncle scene) saved it from being a total loss for me.
I really enjoyed this until about halfway - if they just would have tightened the script and left out all the forced filler it would have been better. And maybe if the chemistry between leads didnāt feel so much like siblings to me, idk.
I donāt think Iāll ever be rewatching this one. But there were some good points. 6-7/10.

Isnāt her ex-fiancĆ© a lawyer? I wonder if she wasnāt a victim of some sort of accident or scandal.
