I hope they'll stop dragging those pointless love triangle plots soon, they eat entirely too much time of this drama. It already could have been standard 16 episodes with them cut.

What about teenagers, some even of 13 years old, who have sex with mutual consent? Should they ask their parents? Most don't and don't get punished if both are minors.

Yea, let's put to jail everyone who dares to date mentally disabled people 🙄. This is indeed a slippery slope.
Btw, in some countries (Arabic for example) legal age for marriage is 13. Just shows that this whole label putting on people's mental age is very subjective.

What's with this then? Quote:
"because the girl is disabled, the guardian’s consent is important at all times. he deserves to be in jail for that reason."

Just give it up with Yul already, this dragging love triangle plot is becoming repetitive with its execution.
Our ML being such a straighforward guy usually, somehow is too insecure here. He should properly "stake the territory" for any Yuls and CPs to notice and back off already.

The fact that standard IQ tests are known to be unsuitable for auitistic people but are still widely used to put incorrect and subjective mental age labels on them to this day is upsetting. Also IQ tests in general are criticized for not giving the full picture of a person's mental ability.

EAW has fewer episodes and a standard 16 episode format. In this format kissing scenes around episode 10 are very common if not earlier.
AoS has 20 episodes, gotta wait some more for it.

Yea, but you were saying he should be in jail for not asking consent from her mother/legal guardian. Generally speaking, adults are not legally obliged to ask for consent to have sex with someone, we're not living in medieval ages (although some Arabic countries put a dent on this). It's just good manners to introduce yourself to the parents, but most people do only when they're very serious about their relationship and are planning to live together. For example, that Choi Soo Yeon character definitely won't be introducing her flings and one night stands to her parents.
So youngsters having casual or budding relationship go about it however they want.
So this returns me to the mental age question, which I think is your primary motivation for pinning the guy as a villlain. But as this drama showed - it's a legally grey area and consent was required only of the victim. And there wasn't a conclusive evidence he didn't get it.

Yea, it was nonsense. For FL to have a license to practice law in another country she’d first have to study law of that country and pass the bar again. And what was more rubbish was her notion that autism is some curable disease you can get treatment to 🤦‍♂️

Yea, they’re dragging Yul’s hopeless pining for FL entirely too long, instead of finally giving him some meaningful plot. At this point it just sends red flags he’s gonna get sacrificed.

Did he need to ask for permission from the mother because the girl’s mental age was that of a minor and she required a legal guardian? I wonder what FL’s mental age is. At some point, them actually being adults, this just becomes insulting. I don’t think FL requires a legal guardian and consent from her father in her case.

Are they? In any case, him dighing dirt on TSM wasn’t on MW’s bidding. MW was clueless about it, and reporter just met him because MW told him he knows WYW.

That was another reporter.

That’s the other reporter. Reporter or private detective that was taking photos of FL’s parents at father’s restaurant was doing it on someone else’s bidding. And he asked MW for a scoop, if he knows anything dirty about FL.

👍

Not this again 🤦‍♂️

Yea, mentor Jung deserves some love.

I was also bothered by an assumption that autistic people are incapable of love and can't know what it is.

It's not a given their children will be autistic, look it up. Also, autism more frequently gets passed on from males, not females, and even then both parents gene pools come into play.
But sure, it is a risk along with everything else that comes with living with an autistic person.

Agreed.
