There opinion is so dangerous to themselves if they preferred this kind of relationship as normal they might end up in some domestic abuse cases off they don't get help

GEM. that will kill you

I was ultimately fine with the male lead, but his character arc felt underdeveloped and somewhat flat. With his backstory and burdens, he was a complex character which ended coming across more like a jerk


No he was jerk you are trying to frame as complex

It isn't bad if you are a supporter of woman slavery

He didn't look down at her at all, he lowkey worshipped her and felt unworthy of being with her

felt unworthy of her ? after making her his sex slave?

I did ask you to mind your language — and I’m fully within my right to do so. This is a public space, not your personal rant zone.

If you can’t handle being called out for your language, that’s on you. And if long comments bother you so much, no one is forcing you to read them. Scroll and move on.

Also, stop telling others what they should or shouldn’t write about. You’re free to write your own essays on whatever you find “meaningful” instead of policing everyone else.

Simple as that.
You’re not worth any more of my time. Goodbye

Mind your language first.
I didn’t realize people come to MDL to “watch dramas” instead of discussing them. If you want peace, you’re free to watch the show and move on — no one is forcing you to read or reply to my comment.
Episode 3 dropped today, discussions are literally the point of this site.
And don’t tell me what I should or shouldn’t do here. You have no right to act like a tyrant and try to suppress someone else’s opinion or freedom of expression.

When I said “lawyers don’t lose cases,” I was obviously not saying cases are never lost. I meant something very specific: it is the client’s case that is lost, not the lawyer’s life or freedom.

A defense lawyer does not go to prison if they lose.
A lawyer does not lose their rights, reputation, or future because of a verdict the way a client does.

So the correct perspective here is the client’s, not the lawyer’s ego or win–loss record.

You seem to be missing the most basic structure of why lawyers exist in the first place.

Clients do not exist to glorify lawyers.
Lawyers exist to serve and defend clients.

Lawyers are service providers. Clients are the ones receiving legal services and bearing the consequences. So it makes no sense to prioritize the lawyer’s reputation over the client’s outcome, yet that’s exactly what your argument does.

What makes this worse is that the lawyers in question:

aggressively questioned their own client,

showed accusatory behavior toward her,

and failed to properly protect her interests.

And yet, instead of holding the lawyers accountable for failing at their job, you are blaming the client more than the professionals who were supposed to defend her.

That’s a complete reversal of responsibility.

Now, let’s set everything else aside.

I want to ask one simple question, and I’d like a direct answer:

Why did the FL return to her ex-boyfriend’s house the very next night—after expressing remorse for cheating—at the exact same late-night hour?

If the intention was truly guilt, regret, or closure, then that timing and decision make no sense.

Answer that first—everything else is secondary

That's not feminism
That is pseudo femiinism

2nd man is an real idiot here
Fighting get a pregnant woman who is carrying a baby from one night stand ?
He is readymade doormat , with no self respect for himself at all.

Funny how you accuse others of “bias” while handing out a blind 10/10 like free candy. That’s not an objective review — that’s fanboying.
Nobody is criticizing women for having careers or children. That’s a lazy strawman. The criticism is about poor writing, forced character decisions, and weak storytelling.
A one-night stand and pregnancy aren’t new or bold — they’re overused tropes. If they’re done badly, people will call it out. That’s how ratings work.
What actually skews ratings is dismissing valid criticism as “bias” just because it hurts your feelings about a show you like.

If she was truly remorseful, there is no logical reason for her to go back to her ex’s house the very next night.

Ask a simple question and stick to the facts the show gives us:

Why did she go there?

Not to confess — she didn’t go to her husband.

Not to cut ties — you don’t do that privately at night in the same place where you already crossed the line.

Not for work in a clean way — professionals meet in public, during the day, or involve third parties.

She went back because the unfinished purpose from the first night was still there. The information. The leverage. The expectation that whatever happened the first night could continue to work the second night.

And when she finds him dead, what does she do?

She doesn’t call the police immediately.
She steals evidence.

That alone tells you her mindset. A remorseful person doesn’t compound one wrongdoing with another serious crime. That’s not shock alone — that’s self-preservation and calculation.

Remorse is shown by distance, boundaries, and consequences.
Her actions show the opposite:

return visit

same location

same secrecy

escalation into evidence tampering

People keep hiding behind “emotions” to excuse this, but emotions don’t make you erase fingerprints or pocket key evidence. Choices do.

So when someone calls her “remorseful,” the question isn’t emotional — it’s factual:

What did she do that shows remorse?

Because everything we’ve seen so far shows continuation, not regret.

I can say the exact same thing about you. Your entire focus is on sympathizing with a cheater, and then bending the narrative to excuse her actions.

You keep bringing up Marry My Husband and insisting that was “gleeful cheating” while this is somehow “remorseful.” Where exactly is that remorse? A remorseful person doesn’t go to her ex’s house the very next night, in the middle of the night, after already sleeping with him the previous night. Not a public place, not after time to reflect—straight back to his house. If that’s your definition of remorse, then the word has lost all meaning.

You say the ML in Marry My Husband was waiting for his wife to die—and yes, he was vile. But that does not magically make this FL’s actions innocent or nuanced. Here, the FL tampered with evidence at a crime scene. If that comes out, she would be a prime suspect in a murder. Are we supposed to ignore that because she’s a woman and feels conflicted? Cheating plus obstruction of justice is not some morally grey “oops.”

You accuse others of seeing everything through gender, yet you’re doing exactly that—excusing serious wrongdoing because the character is female and framing criticism as misogyny. If a male lead cheated, went to his ex’s house two nights in a row, and stole evidence from a crime scene, people would be calling him trash without hesitation.

This isn’t about men vs women. It’s about accountability. Cheating doesn’t become acceptable because someone looks sad afterward, and crimes don’t disappear because the narrative wants sympathy. If you want to engage with the plot honestly, you can’t selectively ignore actions just because they belong to a character you like.

You’re not arguing nuance—you’re arguing exceptions. And those exceptions seem to apply only when the cheater is female.

Unfair Double Standards:**

One of the most glaring issues in *Discovery of Romance* was the blatant double standard when it came to the portrayal of relationships. Xia Tian’s emotional back-and-forth between her boyfriend, Guan Xin, and her ex, Xu Zehao, was excused and portrayed as part of her "emotional conflict." The drama seemed to justify her indecision, making it feel like her actions were understandable, even if hurtful to others.

However, the moment the situation was reversed and the possibility of Guan Xin reconnecting with an ex was hinted at, the tone completely shifted. If he had fallen in love with his ex again, he would have been demonized for it. The show would have painted him as untrustworthy or a "bad guy," and audiences would have likely judged him harshly. Yet, Xia Tian's actions were excused, and she was portrayed as simply struggling to choose between two men, rather than being held accountable for leading both of them on. This imbalance made it incredibly difficult to sympathize with the characters or invest in their story.

The double standard not only felt unfair but also undermined the potential for the show to address real, meaningful issues in relationships. It created a sense that the narrative was biased and that the rules for men and women in relationships were not being applied equally. This inconsistency made the drama feel more frustrating than authentic, as it pushed an agenda that favored one character's mistakes over the other's. It wasn’t just a matter of emotional conflict—it was a matter of unequal treatment between the characters.

Xu Zehao was a chairman in design company. He cannot forget about his ex gf and later fall in love with her again. He tried to make her fall for him but fail since she already has a bf. His character was a little bit annoying since he was arrogant and always want to win. But he was nice and sweet to Xia Tian even though she rejected him.


So biased about him trying to win his ex girlfriends who is dating
But find little sister crush offensive

~ I love to see the chemistry between Xia Tian and Guan Xi. They’re so lovely and sweet. I’m really thought they as a main couple. The most sweet scene when Guan Xi woke up because of his nightmares then he called Xia Tian. Even though she was in bed, she still answer him and try to calm him down. When he said ‘It’s ok I will walk alone’ then she reply ‘I’ll find you’. This was a sweet conversation between couple.

So this wasn't emotional cheating on her boyfriend ?
But it's fine because woman are allowed to cheat but they hate cheating boyfriend who doesn't even cheat

In Korean version FL was cheater too
Wasn't she cheating on her boyfriend by keeping meeting her ex boyfriend and not telling it to her current boyfriend

So female lying and cheating was all fine
Little sister having crush was so wrong
But Xu Zehao going after FL was all fine...

So you are basically saying you like her to be with a man that sexual harassed her when she was asleep ?
Whom she cheated on her boyfriend
