I swear Ohm acts like he couldn't have ended their relationship the moment he fell for another person and started cheating on Jom. He was stringing him along for two years, and he only ended it because his girlfriend wanted clarity for herself and Jom. She was more considerate than Jom's actual boyfriend. Jom may forgive them given his time travel, but I will hold grudges till the end of time.
I'm sad I'm not enjoying this as much. My Stand-in was such a wild ride, no boring episode and Up was somehow the reddest of flags and I still was kinda (a little tiny bit) rooting for him.
I've watched only two episodes but I gotta say the only but most infuriating thing 'til now is how slow Jom is to talk sometimes. So slow that it is surely unrealistic.
I know. Especially because I was contemplating between this, century of love or I feel you linger in the air. Of course, I went for the one ongoing show,
I just binged the first four episodes and so far my only complaint goes to the strong skin smoothing. It really takes away micro expression and facial features like their jawline.
I just watched My stand-in and even if it was incredibly toxic, the plot was so good, nothing was dragging, everything was pretty logical for what it was and most importantly I didn't think Up was a bad actor. Can't say the same about this though.
In the last episode they remembered to develop Joke's character a bit more, though I still don't know anything about him but his undying love for Zo, his fear of heights and his distant relationship to his family. Oh, and I guess his hobby is singing.
No matter how old someone is, how many relationships they have had, how many times they have been cheated on,…
Well yeah, I repeatedly said that he's not just feeling hurt for her lack of communication, but that he's just jealous.
And he is a manipulator, even if it is well-meant, it's basically his job. Its small inconsequential things now, but if he values honesty that much, he'd just talk to her about it. The clothing thing he wanted to do because she would be feeling uncomfortable knowing he helped her, but why do it then anyway? If he assumes it's a boundary for her, why cross is secretly? It doesn't seem like much, but it's also not honest. Rather it would've been manipulative, letting her think that she solved it and gained a favour on her own, when it's not true, and it would have built up a false sense of independence in that case. Of course, her feeling safe in that false independence despite her initial worries for marriage would be his personal gain. If you don't think that's manipulation, then we just have different views on it.

I don't think him feeling hurt, no matter how valid those feelings are, were an excuse for the way he was treating her before reconciling.
She is immature because she is still a teen. Just because the used to put more responsibility onto young female children and women, doesn't mean she is automatically maturer. Especially not compared to someone whose 10+ years her senior.
Most importantly he wasn't solely hurt, he was mainly jealous. He said himself that he was angry that she had pursuit another man that wasn't him. So while he might have also been hurt that she didn't tell him, it's his jealousy over some flirt 3 years ago that had him ignore her for days, even when she was sick.
It is called romance, misunderstandings happen. You are forgetting the main issue, Chan Yan Yun has never kept…
He secretly planned for her to solve the issue with the mouldy military clothing in episode 32. He told his aide to not say that the information came from him. Lucky that she has her own resources. If he wants to be so upfront and honest, why not tell her directly and give her his insights of the situation? Because he wants to preserve her feelings of independence, even if it would be fake. If his feelings of hurt are valid, so are her reservations about telling him, knowing what consequences they could mean for the whole household. But while she thought about that, he was being impatient and avoidant. Also, I still think he was more upset about her having had feelings for someone before without him noticing, then her not telling him.

There was no misunderstanding. Not once did he doubt her. He was just in his had because he wasn't her first love, like I guess she is his. His main conflict was that it happened at all, and that he didn't realize his feelings sooner, meaning that he didn't court her earlier, when she hadn't yet developed a crush. The way he was acting, I don't think he had reacted much better even if she had told him beforehand. There were quite a few things that he kept from her, actually. And when he promised they'd work anything out together, he vanished. Also, I cannot count how often he pulled the strings in the background without telling her (he is just fortunate that she is written way too smart for her age, that's why it doesn't feel like grooming, even if it is). And whether he was hurt by her keeping it a secret or not, but avoiding her for days, even when she has fallen sick? Not even meeting her to hear her out and talk about it? If the lack of communication was hurting him, why won't he even try to communicate himself? You can excuse his behaviour with romance, or hurt feelings, but it still disgusts me that a 18y/o has to navigate the feelings of a 30+ y/o man.
