but at the end FL will take all the pity and ML will have to suffer and make all the amends.
Atleast that'show k-drama writers are portraying main leads these days.

Still, there is visible chemistry in MPD. Here, there isn't any. It feels like normal colleague relationship

Remove the romance tag because there isn't any. Not that it is not good without romance.

They reconciled late, and then all the problems, in the end, killed a good chunk of the romance part and then a rushed ending. felt left out of the overall drama.
otherwise a good one-time watch.

blaming the writer

What an underwhelming proposal after so much drama.

the last episode should be one hour, it feels like I am watching a trailer. The way things wrapped in an episode.

if somebody made a collab of all ML-FL interaction, it would be a great 1 or 2 hr watch.

The writer is seriously a messed up person, or he wants us to hate the FL deliberately.
I mean, he can make them restart together and make their company successful with both of their contributions.
But No, the FL left for the most absurd reason, and now, when he gets successful on his own, FL is ready to patch up.

is it from a novel?

Which episode they will get together, Any idea?

I hate when ML and FL act too understanding of evil characters. Here, they are full of it. LLTG is much better in this aspect

That's why I like the mysterious lotus casebook the best: because there are no royal politics. This is heavy with politics, which barred the viewers from enjoying the show overall.

'something like "May i help you".

The romance part is taking the "I May Love You" route. I don't see an early reconciliation.

Atleast she tried in this one in latter episodes.
The shows i mentioned, they are on high horse, wants ML to beg for affection.

What a tragic ending. ML should dump and look for a new love. I don't know what happens with the Kdrama writer. FLs can move on and find new partners, but not ML. They will lurk around FL, tramping his pathetic self until the end.
I watched two shows back to back, this and "Between Him and Her". The writer portrays MLs as soya cucks in both shows.

Unredeemable FL. Pathetic ML. The ending scene frustrated the hell out of me. I mean ML putting all the effort into the relationship and the FL with 0 capability with 100% baggage is still on the high horse.

So it's going to drag now, or will they reconcile sooner?

the only relief in this drama is ML. Nothing is interesting beyond that. Unfortunately, his screentime is very little.
