Okay so what you mean is that trying to protect the person you love while feeling hurt because you can't confess or show that you are concerned about her directly other than as a captain because of the constant fear that the she is being targeted due to it. And losing his patience and finally confession while making sure she doesn't hear it as she is sleeping is pathetic well I guess in a way as he is trying to make everyone happy and make sure they are safe specially haeyi yet getting tormented himself.

I want to do the same but these guys have grown on me too much😂😂😂. Plus there are too many spoilers everywhere so I will eventually end up seeing the drama indirectly even if I want to put it on hold.

Now I am at a point where I think that FL is going to end up with the SML because our ML even though is the greenest flag in this drama so far is too inclined on protecting the FL and trying to be responsible for everything on his own (to the point that it feels that he is the only one living in the mystery thriller genre while everyone is in rom-com), that he might miss his timing for confession and the FL might move on which is perfectly normal as from FMLs POV all she sees now after his indirect rejection is that he is a responsible captain and because of the reason he is worried about her and nothing more. I feel so bad to see all this because ML is also hurt but can't show and worried but can't do anything more as to not raise suspicions, he has to create and maintain the distance because he kinda received a direct warning from the culprit (and we can all see the extent to which the culprit goes to do things) so it's kinda sad yet we can't even say that he is the doing anything wrong thing but all this might end up in a way that FL goes with the SML at the end, even though the ML was the one doing most of the work and taking the risks while SML was doing only the chasing part.

I feel little bit bad for SML as he is kinda repeating the same mistake as his parents did, from the flashback it was hinted that they had a marriage of convenience and SML's dad was clearly in love with someone else and even after knowing that SML's mom still tried to create the picture of perfect marriage (like the car scene) which all over time made her depressed, and this all indirectly led SML to be the way he is now.

also, why does it feel as if ML is living in a different genre than other characters like seriously leaving aside ML who is investigating the case, kinda fighting the corruption problem of his seniors, trying to save Theia even to the point of fighting against all his seniors, and protecting FL from the murder prophecy which all come under thriller section, whereas rest of the characters are in rom-com genre specially SML like why seriously why?.

I think the writer has problems with both the ML and the SML like seriously they both started off really well but as the story went by it become more and more unfair for both of them. The ML is not being given more screen time and most of what he does for everyone including the FL is only known to us along with his reasons, whereas on the other hand, the SML has more screen time, is showier, and much time to the point which can be considered toxic too (like how he stopped the confession, tried to manipulate ML to speak things while FL was around to arose misunderstanding, him stalking her everywhere, doing things without any consideration for her opinion, lecturing ML everywhere even if he is the one in wrong, and many more). And When it comes to SML he is such a nice guy if we kinda ignore all the points I mentioned above which are also not that bad but the timings are not on his side along with the situation in which he does those things.
As the story is progressing we can see that there is no need at all to drag the love triangle, and the more they drag the more toxic it will get. And I don't want to end up hating the SML as he has room for growth. Also, I don't understand why people are even getting SL syndrome when we have an ML who also is good enough the whole point of SL syndrome is when the FL has a better choice but goes for the ML anyways, whereas in this drama we have a diamond and a diamond in making and the FL is already trying to go with the diamond rather than the one in making. I think if the ML and SML were to switch roles from the start people would be complaining about the behavior of sun ho and having SL syndrome Jung-woo. Before episode 6, I kinda didn't mind FL ending up with either of them even though I was on MLs side, but after recent episodes, I can see why ML is the ML and SML is the SML, as the fitting growth for SML would be to make peace with his past, to be able to let go, to put other forwards and respecting their opinion, and actually finding someone who can reciprocate his feelings and value the efforts.

Am I the only one who thinks shy Do hae yi at the end of episode 6 looks like actress Go Ara? 🤣🤣

Yes I am totally with you on the point that they should give some purpose to the character of SML who has a lot of potential plots directions, I don't want to end up as SMLs of some dramas who do not have a satisfactory ending after being rejected which happens as they weren't given much purpose other than being part of the love triangle. And if we look at the plot itself it doesn't focuses much on the lives of the character rather what they do together, like not just SML I think we know even less about ML, but I think the upcoming episode may help us getting to know more about the characters. And I really really wish for a fitting ending for all the character of the drama because so far all the characters really good even if I am not that much attached to them as I am with the ML, FL and SML.

My opinion on this is a little bit different. The relationship between ML and FL lead isn't forced at all rather it's on the similar pace as any other drama more or less around 8th episode we get a confession. But also here if you see the different situations in which they together how they both handled those situation, their actions and understanding creates notion as to how they started to have feelings for each other. About the SML I think it would be more good if the further episodes give him at least some other purpose in the drama rather than just being a part of the love triangle because the character is really good and has lot of room for character development but is shown as having no aspiration or purpose in the drama other than being interested in the FL (like what we saw in ep 6) and even if his character is so good and caring but there are still some toxic traits in it too(like how he kinda thinks if ML being out of picture will surely help him get the FL, how he directly interferes in some situations or does things which aren't things he should do just because he has feelings for her). About the FL pretending to be the ex's gf is actually consistent with her character as she is shown to care and respect people in her life who are or were important. And I also don't like how they place SML in more or less every romantic scene of ML and FL where he is just there serving no purpose at all, they all should have there share of scenes together and there should be some overlap for us to see there jealously but doing it too many times is kinda ruining it.

I think both the ML and 2nd lead are good in their own way (although I am on team Jung woo from the very start). Both are expressing their interest in her in a way consistent with how they were introduced from the very start where the main lead is an introvert and hides his care and efforts whereas the 2nd lead is head-on expressive of everything, the only that I don't like about the 2nd lead is that in all the romantic scenes of the ML and FL, he is kinda always there like sometimes I think why has he not seen the suspicious person following her if he is the one who is always everywhere she goes. 🤣🤣🤣

It may not be the case because her actual plan as per what I think was to earn money and work, plus not to date. And that's maybe what that dialogue is referring to as "everything was going as planned until I met you".
Another thing would be that the dialogue was referring to Theia, as she wasn't living her life just surviving(which would be the original plan) but it changed as she is now the captain(maybe towards the end) and is doing what is wants.
