He crosses so many boundaries with her. Some people will still defend DOSAN and think of it as a "sweet gesture" - it is so toxic. It makes me fearful of what kind of love people will accept in real life..

Reminds me of the quote: "We accept the love we think we deserve"

We all know people are voting for DoDal couple because of NJH and Suzy, NOT because Dosan and Dalmi are the cutest, healthiest relationship ever.

What do you call it then? o_O

Dalmi is the reason why he came back. He doesn't care for his parents very much.. Especially compared to his obsession with Dalmi.

Die hard fans sometimes defy logic and will play defense for the object of their obsession. :X So toxic! Everyone's welcome to read and comment in MDL community boards... Comment section isn't solely for positive praises! xD

Yes, we know

Now if someone decides to look at your list & ratings, and judge your personal preferences.. that is wrong. Let's ignore those ignorant, judgemental people! lol

As far as I know, lists on MAL are public.

If you care about your privacy, store a list privately on Notion, Excel, or Word document.

MAL lists are often used to share with others, request recommendations, and publicly showcase what you've watched. If you don't feel comfortable with other users potentially viewing your list & ratings, avoid adding that information here.

Intentions (or heart?) aside, he did stalk her... Which is often romanticized in kdramaland. :/

I don't think we can sum up Dosan's behavior due to dating inexperience.

Forgot which episode, but Dalmi asked Dosan for some space. He proceeded to stalk her and was about to approach her while she was intoxicated. Thankfully, Boyoung's cameo character stepped in and kind of prevented him from approaching her. She then consoled her. Same cameo character also consoled HJP!

I didn't write that HJP is a hero. My comment was sarcastically calling Dosan a hero.

First paragraph was written in sarcasm

I don't see them in black/white view o_O

But you're right to assume I no longer like Dosan. I started out liking him (more than Jipyeong) but after seeing his actions, I started growing a distaste for that character. Does that mean Dosan is "100% evil" or "all bad" as you assume I'm thinking of Dosan? Not at all. But I have reason enough to dislike him.

He hasn't. Dosan never spoke about HJP to Dalmi at all.

That's why they say, "birds of a feather flock together."

It's unfortunate it had to be the ML(+his friends) & FL.

They dooooo. I don't understand why. Do they see themselves in Dosan or are attracted to that kind of person? :I

Yeah.. Dosan was always rude and antagonistic towards HJP. It's unsurprising that HJP knows this, and calls Dosan out on his inferiority complex. Even we as viewers can tell!

Has Dosan ever expressed gratitude to HJP (mentor)? Has Dosan ever spoken of HJP positively to Dalmi so that Dalmi would be less hurt? No. Jipyeong has. He let Dalmi know that Dosan's feelings for her were true, and not every single action Dosan did wasn't just because Jipyeong asked him to. Jipyeong's actions showed integrity, and selfless empathy. I've only seen the opposite from Dosan's actions. When asked to keep certain facts hidden, he broke promises almost every time, to serve HIMSELF. It just gets me angry. I used to like Dosan; I've tried to see things from his perspective. However, with each passing episode, his actions shock me.

Dreamy's metaphor of sacrificial goat is so ON POINT. HJP and Injae, they both have been reduced to sacrificial goat for NDS-DM relationship and NDS-DM business ventures. Why were they categorized as "main characters" when they have minimal screen-time and blatant secondary character roles?

It's good she knows herself and what she wants / doesn't want. Dalmi doesn't want a long distance relationship (LDR).

Some of us might be willing to be in a LDR, but not everyone.

He owned up to it minutes later. HJP told Dalmi what he insinuated & made their relationship sound like to Dosan. He let her know that she had plenty of time to catch up to him also. This isn't to excuse his lie, but he's a guy in love too. Dosan acted on his feelings and made falsities also. This time it's HJP. Only, he relayed the message to Dalmi honestly.

Had it been Dosan, he would not have let Dalmi know.

Dosan never once spoke positively about HJP. HJP in contrast, have spoken about Dosan in a positive light numerous times.. so that Dalmi won't be hurt or question Dosan's honest feelings. HJP tried to convey that Dosan's feelings for Dalmi are true, despite how HJP also loves her (& Dosan and he are rivals). HJP plays fair.
