I don't believe their last interaction indicates a desire from either side to remain friends. It's clear that he likes her but doesn't want to reciprocate her feelings because he thinks his personal life is too messy and could complicate things for the poor girl in the long run. Therefore, he thinks it's better to be direct and end things rather than leave her with false hope by trying to stay friends afterward.

Well, he had to choose to be mean about it cause she was refusing to accept the answer otherwise.

YHM doesn’t look 40 at all. When I first saw him in the drama, I thought he was no more than 36. In contrast, Jung Il Woo, who is 37, seems to look more like he’s in his 40s. Compared to YHM, JIW hasn’t aged as well. I agree with others who feel that the female lead should act her age, which is why I dislike stories featuring older men with younger women. Her character is already insufferable, and I find her acting unimpressive as well.

Anyways, whatever the cause, the verdict remains the same that it isn't engaging.

So this is how she acts, and I thought it might be due to how the character’s written. Let me summarise my experience with this drama, along with what I've observed from others. ML and FL have received largely negative feedback, while the supporting characters aren't a significant issue. The storyline is straightforward, making it easy for you to decide whether you want to watch (love triangle between best friends). Some viewers believe that a birth secret might be coming soon and it would be about FL. SML's step-mom is considered sus due to her step-children feeling uncomfortable around her presence.

bromance?

Clingy and to what extent is the character's characteristic. I'm referring to her acting—whether she is the right actress for the role. If she were, she could have infused a comedic effect into the female lead's flaws to make her character more appealing to the audience. However, her performance, instead of being engaging, is rather off-putting.

That and also a different actress as well. The current actress isn't the right fit for the character, even though she's trying her best. And, the thing is that it's way too obvious in the drama, making it unenjoyable to watch.

no, you're not. I'm tired of half-sibling trope to cancel out sml from the picture.

Simple. Money. It also gives them a chance to stay relevant after their hype dies down, in case they were once popular.

Yes, who do you think has a stable job in JH's family other than him?

It seems that step-mom has hired someone to intimidate her stepdaughter through stalking, creating an environment of fear for her that she can exploit for her purposes.

Same. I don't like this pairing either. Neither their characters blend together well nor their visuals as a couple complement eachother. He is also not suposed to feel guilty about not liking her. This is what makes her an immature person for asking him to feel guilty about not reciprocating her feelings even if she's showcased as hyper-independent.

More like the latter I believe since he didn't learn a thing or two about empathy from his struggling days.

Exactly. I don't really think he's a good father since he thinks its a big deal to take a hit on your ego even if it's for the wellbeing of his children.

Also FL should pick to be either macho about expressing her feelings or be a shy little naive girl. Switching back and forth makes her an even less attractive character. It confirms that I'll definitely NOT be sticking with this drama for the leads.

I don't think the leads look good together.

Park seong jae and his sister looks like they're getting abused by their step-mom behind the curtains. A grown man shivering from the touch of his step-mom is really concerning and I'm hoping the reason behind it is not what I think it could be. I think this is partly the reason why he's friends with a poor guy from an actual loving home otherwise their friendship doesn't make sense.

best friends.

I'm curious about the no of couples here, so I’ll stay and see if any piques my interest. If not, this drama seems tailored for background entertainment. I believe that writing scripts like these should also be considered an art form. There’s no significant progress in the plot, yet the episode somehow manages to stretch on for an hour.
