You cannot escape your parents in Asian culture. She never forced. All she just suggested if they could have dinner together for which HSY agreed. His father is not even part of his daily life like his grandpa. You can just never abandon some relations. This is more realistic in context of the setting.

It's pretty obvious how is proactive she is in this relationship and neither does she shy away with intimacy. She did initiate a lot of kisses..

Ep 5, here he mentions her just as a friend. But later we find out that the friend was his ex

They were in relationship. It was long back according to him.

This is pretty common nowadays. Some of these tropes will be there forever to satisfy necessary target mediums on either side.

They might try redeem his father which I don't really agree on unless there's more to the story than what we know. That doesn't mean they have to cut ties, no. HSY should be filial not necessarily back to caring for his father. Hopefully, SXF doesn't try to act like 'i will fix them' person.

They are perfect for haters-passionate lovers trope.

Kwang Soo and Da Hee on same project, damn!

Some of these creative choices are poor especially towards late end of the show. All these developments should have been done between 15-25 eps. I was looking forward to her journey of dealing with this but they might skip that portrayal.

The points that I've mentioned has nothing to do with POVs. This is a dual-pov drama. Even if it was a WYF's story that does not negate how other characters play part in her story.

'the plot is burdened with having to shoulder her trauma they didn't want the spotlight taken away from that'

This is the point I made. Her going away is just a weak plot point attempt at portraying the adverse effects. This also highlights how little-to-no SY's presence had on her. The idea was to use SY as a catalyst to let believe in herself and gather courage to move on in life from that phase. Or maybe she could have gotten therapy early.

'however everyone's reality is different.'
But we are aware of her reality even from her pov. Her growth should have been done anywhere between 18-25 episodes including dealing with her family. And for this it was necessary for her to have faith on why she should be moving forward. You need help dealing with trauma, a reality check if I were to be blunt. The show did not attempt to tackle this rather gave us a unnecessary time-skip instead of letting us experience her recovery.

This show did not monologues but rather one-to-one conversations with someone. She had to come to a point to be brave enough to open up about the past. The writers failed this dynamic between ML-FL. They gave ML 1D arc without having his own characterization align with her. Additionally, it does not really make sense for FL to be even in this relationship considering her own past with him and her not being able to have faith to let someone in her personal space. The only explanation is that she wished to rely on someone so she goes for the only option she has which does not really help her to face her issues.

Her spending time with SY just created a illusion of safety for her which got burst when things went south. SY is too dormant to bring anything out of her. Perhaps, a ML with more vibrant and mature characteristics would have been more compatible for her situation. These type of people will have more chance of breaking her walls. The fact that anyone has barely suggested or pushed her for professional help all these years is insane.

A comforting masterpiece and highly rewatchable.

Blood. Blood. Lot of Blood.

Is there a love triangle? If yes, how stupid is it?

I don't expect them to show all the gore webtoon has which is literally its selling point... A decent adaption is fine as well.

Not really unless there's a time skip. She needs therapy which is usually a slow progress. It would have been okay if this was 40 ep. But we are left with 6 eps.

This trope should have been done around ep no 17-20. She should have taken some clinical therapy and never should have started this relationship. SY being with her pushed her to accept her feelings. He is around her most of the time and this did result in her being indirectly obligated to reciprocate his feelings. Now when she has to face past, she's engaging her defense mechanism by running away. She would ofc not trust SY because they never had a meaningful insightful conversation on this. Although, SY does seem caring but he's too involved for her to let him in her space.

If the aim of the show is portray dealing with these situations, it could have been done in a better way. Also, introducing this trope at ep no 25 is pretty late for a convincing closure. They will wrap her overcoming her trauma in like 2-3 episodes, which is unfortunate.

I believe this could have been a masterpiece of drama with older leads and characters (something like Meet Yourself).

Treat them as siblings. Also, she never touched him or said anything that defied her love.

Everything we see is from TMS's perspective as he is hoping there would be some signs from her, but there wouldn't any.

Only ML. 2ml is just obsessed over the idea of having possession of her. If you want more clear response, 2ml does not love fl.

They have lost the momentum. Last 5 episodes would be dragged. The potential for main couple remains under utilised, especially XXC-MXL dynamic. I'm not sure if these events are mentioned in novel if it's getting dragged out.
