Eunwoo's character doesn't know, he couldn't tell, because apparently he never cared about that in the first place

Yet mother of dead child is feeling so close to this man who is so insensitive towards her dead son ? While he ignored her husband cause he was sad and what so wrong if he had some fling with other woman when she was eager to divorce him..

I find soo hyun disgusting
That she remain in connection with seon yul after she find out he was son of her son's killer
Her poor son's soul must be crying see his own mother searching for pleasure with his murders son.

let's be honest, there was nothing to but avenged, his father was the wrong one. Even that he was following orders, Seon Yul's father was the person that eventually killed Soo Hyun's son, he was still alive when the car hit him. I understand Seon Yul's motives

Well I do not understand his motive, how can he blind himself to justify his revenge
Can't he see his father was a child killer ?
How ignorant and insensitive one person can be to just ignore a little child death and greva about his own evil father's deserved death ?

People who dismiss early reviews love to act superior, as if opinions are only valid after the final episode airs. Yet, ironically, most of them never write a review at all—not even when they finish the drama. They just lurk, ready to attack anyone who forms an opinion before they do.

Early reviews aren’t about predicting the entire show; they reflect the experience as it happens. If a drama is slow, frustrating, or poorly written, why should viewers suffer in silence? Expecting people to sit through hours of nonsense just to “earn” the right to critique is ridiculous. Besides, first impressions matter—if a show fails to engage from the start, that’s a flaw worth discussing.

Yoon Sang Hyeon’s Casting and Park Hyung Sik’s Influence?

Yoon Sang Hyeon played the female lead’s brother in Doctor Slump (where Park Hyung Sik was the male lead).

Now, in Buried Heart, he is again playing the female lead’s brother with excessive screentime despite having no relevance to the plot.

His acting is weak, and his characters consistently lack purpose, making his frequent casting questionable.

Possible theory: Park Hyung Sik might be pushing for Yoon Sang Hyeon’s casting, ensuring he gets roles in projects where Park Hyung Sik is involved.

Could it be a “buy Park Hyung Sik, get Yoon Sang Hyeon for free” deal? Directors including him just to keep Park Hyung Sik happy?

Oh, of course! He was totally suffering for her sake and not, you know, feeding his own ego and obsession. Nothing says "pure intentions" like secretly experimenting on someone without consent. But hey, I’m sure it was all about her well-being and not just a long, drawn-out way to impress his own reflection in the mirror. What a hero.

It doesn’t matter how much you try to intellectualize or justify it—his actions are fundamentally wrong. He stalked her, removed her autonomy, and conducted experiments without her consent. Empathy doesn’t justify violating someone’s boundaries, and having a “crush” doesn’t excuse stripping someone of their agency.

You say he avoided her because he didn’t want her to suffer knowing he was getting hurt for her—but that was his decision, not hers. She had the right to know, and he robbed her of that choice. The fact that even his friend acknowledged he could go to jail proves how unethical his actions were.

And let’s talk about love. You argue that he misinterpreted his own feelings, but whether it’s pragma, ludus, or any other form of love, none of it justifies controlling someone’s life. Real love respects consent. Real love does not manipulate.

As for courage—you’re twisting the definition to fit a false narrative. Courage isn’t making reckless, selfish decisions that disregard another person’s autonomy. It’s about doing the right thing even when it’s hard. What he did wasn’t brave—it was obsessive.

You mention others leaving her out of pride, implying he’s somehow different. But he wasn’t different—he was worse. They left, but he stuck around to control her life from the shadows, deciding what she should or shouldn’t know, what experiments she was unknowingly part of.

And in the end, his dramatic gesture isn’t about her—it’s about him. He made every choice for her, assumed he knew what was best, and only faced her when it suited him. That’s not love. That’s control.

CRUEL LOVE 2007

There must be some reason for their divorce. Judging by how that man is still obsessed with the FL, it looks like she was the reason for his divorce from his rich wife."

From the viewer’s perspective, his motivations were clear, but that doesn’t make them any less self-serving or manipulative. The way he pursued the FL wasn’t about love or care—it was about his own desires and survival, with no real regard for what she truly wanted.

And yeah, from her perspective, he wasn’t some “open book” she could trust—he was just a persistent presence pushing her toward something she never actively chose. Emotional blackmail disguised as devotion is still coercion, and just because we see his thought process doesn’t make it any less messed up.

Exactly! Calling this a love story is seriously twisted. The fact that the male lead himself admits to being a stalker and even his own friend suggested reporting him to the police — how is that romantic in any sense? Just because the drama dressed it up with pretty visuals, moody music, and so-called "mystery" doesn’t erase the fact that it’s glorifying toxic behavior.

What’s baffling is how some viewers are so mesmerized by the aesthetic that they’re willing to overlook the deeply disturbing core of the story. Obsession, manipulation, and emotional blackmail aren’t love — they’re warning signs. No amount of "sexy brain" or artistic cinematography can justify painting a stalker’s twisted fixation as something romantic.

Everything in this Universe is not known to mankind
because this drama is for Satankind

all those years of stalking and obsessive "research" weren’t about helping her at all. His real motive was pure selfishness — manipulating circumstances just to get close to her, all for his own twisted satisfaction. This wasn’t about love; it was a calculated scheme to force himself into her life. His so-called dedication wasn’t noble — it was creepy, self-serving behavior driven by his fragile ego and desperate need to compensate for whatever insecurities he had. Helping her? Please. He was just helping his own pathetic obsession.

Pity isn’t love. Just because he didn’t physically force her doesn’t mean he didn’t emotionally manipulate her with massive guilt-tripping. The whole situation was practically emotional blackmail — if she didn’t force herself to love him back, he might die. That’s not romance; that’s coercion wrapped in sentiment.

And let’s be real — why would anyone feel grateful to be stalked by some creepy guy they didn’t even know existed until he dramatically jumped in front of them? She never mentioned him, never showed any sign of knowing who he was. This isn’t some touching love story — it’s a guilt-ridden mess where she was pressured into feeling something she likely never would have felt otherwise.

well they still failed to properly address the stalking and end up romanticized it cause it done by ML
