The way you just dropped "here we go again" honestly sounded like a reply to a hater or a troll that is about to start shit unnecesarily and it rubbed me the wrong way.

I scrolled down about 2 days of comments to make sure it's not something many people brought into conversation, otherwise I would reply to them instead of making new comment. I had covid, was not here on Sunday to see majority of the comments. Was able to watch the episode yesterday and wanted to write a short comment about something that evoked strong emotions in me to see if anyone shared the same feelings or is willing to share their opinion.

Then enlightened me, what your comment means as reply to mine?

I mean... he did all the self-reflection already and sees how his reaction was wrong, so Mo Eum does not have to tell him that anymore, but still... took him a bit to get there 🙂

I don't hate Seung Hyo, he just pissed me off in this episode big time. If I had a friend like him, I would have one real chat with him and how he should see psychologist to deal with his issues instead of projecting them on people around him so next time he won't have to say "I was not angry at you, I was angry with myself" 🤣

I get where he is coming from, I find it childish egocentric and ridiculous 🙂

But that's also what this drama does great - all the characters have real flaws. Not bullshit quirky tiny flaws that are barely flaws, but actual flaws that negatively affect their lives and their relationships. It's just his flaws personally piss me off more than flaws of other characters 🤣

Sure. The drama needs to move forward. It's just 16 episodes, not real life when they can take however long they want to smoothly transition from some aspects to another. Does not change the fact him ignoring her for a year and then yelling at her was clownery behavior as fuck 🤣

Not gonna lie I find it fascinating how 2 people who were the most angry and yelled at her the most and guilty tripped her the most were him, after he ghosted her for a year, when she was contacting him as she was being sick. And her mother with her perfect example of neglectful parenting.

But two people who did nothing/less wrong (the dad, i think they established well he showed more support towards FL, and was a bit less biased towards the son; and Mo Eum who tried to contact FL in US and when she could not, she asked ML to check on her) were the ones who showed more care and support after finding out 🙂

what? I cannot even make a comment after I finish watching episode 10 omfg 🤣

yeah after yelling at her 3 times and guilty tripping her for not telling him she was sick 🤡
When he was the one who ignored her when she was trying to contact him when she was sick... I don't know. For me one apology would not be enough 🤣

Does no one else find Seung Hyo ridiculous for ghosting and leaving Seok Ryu on read for over a year and then getting angry at her for not contacting him and telling him she was sick?

He literally ignored all her calls and messages for over a year 🤡 This is so wild for me I cannot 🙂

its look weird but u gotta when the parents make such req obv < that depends on parents and perspective, I think they made it rather clear and obvious FL's mom cared more about FL's career than seeing her or talking with her. So FL could easily not facetime them for the time of the treatment.

I don't facetime anyone 🙂 It's just weird. I just make a normal call.

And you can EASILY hide it all with just phone calls. She has PERFECT excuse of being overachiever at work to make the phone calls short as fuck saying she is busy with work. My mom had a normal phone convo with me day after her surgery. Keep it short and you cannot know just from the voice.

but but if you check the comment section, majority of criticisms are about the rom-com not rom-coming, how there is so far barely any romance between leads and we are wasting time on the exes. How people wanted romantic comedy and not angst and melodrama. There would be far less criticisms like that if the drama was not under rom-com genre tbh.

I'd agree with the mother pov is they did not have a son who can do whatever... She either does not care if he fails in live, or is willing to give him more financial and emotional support she ever did to her daughter. And that's shitty as fuck. She sees everyone's struggles and emotionally supports them (like how she knew right away Seung Hyo was down and she cooked him a meal), but is blind to her own daughter's suffering even after said daughter told her countless times how hard it is for her 🙂

I think the production team fucked up with the genre tags 🙂

The drama is truly AMAZING, but I totally understand people who get angry coz they are not getting what technically was initially sold: rom-com. This show fits far more into slice of life genre. If the drama was put into a different category genre wise, a lot of criticisms would not happen 🥲

At the same time, if you check Namu, it's also under "가족" which would be a Family genre. This is where the confusion might be coming from too. Coz by original source, this ain't just rom-com, but because of a different genre tags on mdl, it falls only under rom-com here.

He might not be evil, but he is for sure not good natured. Realistically speaking there are not many evil people overall, and we would never see any evil characters in a proper rom-com slice of life dramas - they fit crime or makjang more 🤣

But the bro is selfish as fuck and I have no issue dissing him until he gets his head out of his ass and start seeing other people around him 🙂

But I don't think he is good natured? All he thinks about his himself and he does not even consider for a moment how his actions affect others... It's not like he has noble ideas but he fails with executing them...

( but he is more naive than evil so we can say he is a good guy too) < this I disagree with. He is 31 years old. This level of naivety at this age is just lack of responsibility and laziness on his part. Especially with his defensive he gets when people point out his wrong actions...

not one time in my life have I facetimed my parents lol Also wouldn't her fiancé be the guardian. But also I am sure it's not legally required coz some people simply do not have guardians.

I think you just simply completely do not understand FL in this drama 🙂

this^ Also the way she just knew right away Seung Hyo was off and down about something so she made him food, but was so fucking blind to her own daughter's suffering was just sad to watch.

I hate how cute Seok Ryu was with her ex, but I also love it coz bitch, that's the reality. Most exes are not the villains of your life story 🤡 On one had I get people who are annoyed with all the flashbacks coz "who wants to see her with her ex being all happy" IF you watch it from the lense of just rom-com. But if you start seeing it more as a slice of life romance, the scenes of the ex and her are so meaningful and since the story is not just about the pair: Seung Hyo and Seok Ryu, but also about them as individuals and their personal growth and struggles, including these meaningful moments from their lives makes so much sense!

Yo... I don't hate the ex. I don't hate his scenes. I actually enjoy what he adds to the show. Am I weird? 🙃🙂🤡 This drama is magic. Them making me like all them flashbacks with the ex and overall the ex showing up trope is just miracle lol

Damn that phone call with her mother was so sad. I resonate with Seok Ryu so much 😭 You know how good parents "suffer alone" and don't want to worry their children? But when the child is raised as one to be overly responsible and does not get that love and care, they start to treat their parents on a similar level they would treat their child - feel like it's their responsibility to shield parents from the bad, and lessen their burden. They feel like they have to handle everything alone...

Her conversation with her mother after last argument with her parents is EXACTLY why she does not say SHIT to her parents - because they don't give a fuck, don't listen, ignore everything she says no matter how upset she is when she says it which CLEARLY indicated it's important to her, and they make decisions for her.

As for her chat with ML on the playground... I have a message to Seok Ryu:
Why the fuck you lying? (Why)
Why you always lying? (Why)
Hmmm oh my God
Stop fucking lying

BITCH WE KNOW YOU DID NOT GO WITH HIM TO THE HOSPITAL COZ YOU HAVE STRONG FEELINGS FOR HIM! WHY YOU LYING. I mean I know why, and I relate, but this is so frustrating. But i cannot even hate her for it, coz I'm that bitch who would do the same 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

The way Mi Suk comforts Seung Hyo and sees right away when something bothers him, but is also blind bitch to her own daughter's pain just annoyed the shit out of me 🙂

LISTEN the scene of her and the ex in the hospital after her surgery is another reason why I get she did not tell anyone. She has such a pathological way of dealing with issues, the way she thinks no matter what she needs to be the strong and mature one and deal with shit and even in her lowest point in life she is the one reassuring her ex. And it would be the same with family. Instead of getting the support from them, she would feel like she needs to support them emotionally in that painful moment of her life.

"You're so much stronger and more resilient than I thought" BITCH! THIS IS NOT A COMPLIMENT IN THAT SCENARIO! He means so well, but it's such a bad shit to say. Like I can FEEL the anxiety and pressure she is feeling when she hears it. Basically just pushing her further into the pathological way of her thinking and living. What she should be hearing is - you DO NOT need to be strong and resilient all the time. It's fine to feel weak and helpless, you have people in your life to lift that burdeen from you during the moments life is too hard" FUCK WHY AM I CRYING 😭

Damn that's it. That's EXACTLY what people like her (and me, fucking sad lol) fear the most - that when we finally break down, show weakness, need actual help and support instead of carrying everything on our backs, people will blame us, leave us, because being this weak is not like us. We are the ones who are strong and mature, we are the ones that supposed to fix things, we can deal with everything, we can support anyone, we are emotionally stable and never break.

At the same time, I don't really blame the ex. I think people who live with or are in relationship with someone who struggles with serious psychological issues need therapy themselves, and support circle of people that deal with similar issues. EVEN IF their partner is suffering, they should be allowed to enjoy themselves from time to time. To recharge, to have the strength to support their partner. Otherwise both of their batteries will die sooner or later, no one will help each other, because both of them will be exhausted.

Seung Hyo be like: This doesn't make sense!
Me be like: BUT IT DOES! 😭😭😭😭😭

"You hurt the people who love you" 😠😡🤬 politely fuck off coz her cancer is not about you lol AND THIS IS WHY WE DON'T TELL PEOPLE SHIT, BECAUSE THEY MAKE OUR SUFFERING ABOUT THEM! 🙂
