I'm genuinely curious to know the things you think he has done that are manipulative?He's really not much of talker…
I see where you’re coming from, but I don’t fully agree. I don’t think it’s fair to suggest she should just move on without giving him a chance to respond. People deal with breakups and emotions differently, and being distant or cold at the end of a relationship doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “over” in a definitive sense.
Assuming he’s already checked out might be jumping to conclusions we don’t know his side or what’s going on internally. Communication is difficult for both of them, yes, but writing off the relationship entirely without more clarity could leave unresolved feelings and regrets. I think it’s worth having more honest, direct conversations rather than just exploring other options immediately

Sure It’s clear some of the things he’s doing are manipulative crying about wanting his ex back in the interview but acting cold and indifferent when MK tries to talk. If my ex pulled that energy on me I’d demand an explanation for why he’s acting completely different now than when we were together. Just because you handle things a certain way doesn’t mean everyone has to people have their own personalities and deal with things differently
I’ve been thinking a lot about how Yooshik keeps trying to make Minkgyung look like the villain, and honestly, it just feels unfair. It seems like he’s twisting things to make himself look innocent while putting all the blame on her. When he said that she doesn’t want to see me getting along with others, I couldn’t help but feel that it was more about getting sympathy from people than telling the truth. It’s disappointing to see someone act so fake and manipulative just to protect their own image. I really wish people could see through the act and understand what’s actually going on
Knetz praising minkyung for being real with her feelings doesnt fake anything to look good on tv and is representing long term relationship girlies. And how much dopamine she's bringing to the show, they love that scene "Why are you acting domestic"😂😭
Exactly!! Poor girl is going through it. Also, wouldn't it be weirder if she was completely ok?? After that long…
Absolutely you're spot on If she was totally fine right away, that would feel more off than her being upset. Breakups are messy, especially after a long relationship, and seeing your ex move on quickly is like a gut punch. It's not something you just get over overnight It's emotional and takes time to process. The show might be fun to watch but people forget that it shows real emotions. It’s easy to think it's just drama, but for the characters, it’s about healing, growing, and moving on. Relationships aren't just the good times they're also about how you deal with the hard moments when things fall apart.
I don't know where people see this or make this assumption. Maybe some international fans whom don't really know…
I get that people are confused or frustrated with Minkyung, but this comment really feels too harsh and one sided. She’s clearly struggling emotionally and that doesn’t make her ridiculous it makes her human. Just because she said she wants to find new love doesn’t mean she’s completely over her ex. People say what they want to feel, but emotions don’t always follow so quickly. It's totally normal to still have feelings or confusion when you're face to face with your ex every day, especially in a situation like this show where everything is intense, public, and emotional. You’re defending Yoo Sik like he’s done nothing wrong, but let’s be honest he clearly changed his behavior after the first couple of days. He pulled away. He stopped showing the same care and energy toward Minkyung. That shift is what likely hurt her and caused her emotional reaction. You’re calling it respecting her wishes but honestly, it looks more like he gave up and emotionally shut down. And you keep saying she should just be clear about wanting to get back with him but how is she supposed to do that? It’s not easy to open up to someone who’s acting cold or distant, especially your ex. That kind of talk takes a lot of courage and trust, and right now, it doesn’t feel like she has that safe space with him anymore. She’s trying to figure out her feelings while reacting to how her ex is acting. There’s nothing wrong with that. Yes, maybe her reaction during the dishwashing scene came out awkward or strong, but that doesn’t mean she deserves hate. She’s clearly hurt, and her emotions are valid even if they don’t come out perfectly. That’s part of being human, especially in complicated relationships. At the end of the day, she’s not the villain here. She’s just a person trying to move on, figure things out, and deal with feelings in a very tough situation. Let’s not drag her for not being perfectly put together in a show that thrives on emotional messiness.
It’s honestly frustrating how much hate Minkyung is getting because when you really look at it, most of it has nothing to do with who she is as a person. The main reason people turned on her is because so many viewers were already attached to Yooshik and Jhyun. From early on, fans built up that pairing as the perfect match and once emotions got involved, the audience basically decided who they wanted together before the cast themselves even figured out their own feelings.So when Minkyung’s presence complicated that storyline or when her emotions didn’t align with what viewers expected people started labeling her as the problem It wasn’t that she did anything truly wrong she just didn’t follow the script that the audience had written in their heads. Suddenly, every little thing she did was taken as manipulation, jealousy, or attention-seeking, even when it was just normal human emotion.Reality dating shows always bring out this kind of bias. Viewers pick their favorite couple and anyone who doesn’t fit that narrative becomes the villain, no matter how genuine they are. In Minkyung’s case, the situation with Yooshik and Jhyun made it worse, because both of them had strong chemistry that fans romanticized. So instead of seeing Minkyung as someone dealing with her own complicated feelings, people saw her as the person ruining their favorite ship.But if you actually pay attention to her moments outside of that triangle, you can see she’s thoughtful, emotional, and sincere. She’s not pretending to be perfect or emotionless she’s just navigating her emotions the best she can in a really pressured environment. The problem is that the audience treats her like a character in a drama not a real person with feelings.At this point the hate she’s getting feels way too forced and exaggerated. It’s not coming from her actions it’s coming from fan expectations. People don’t hate Minkyung because of who she is they hate her because she didn’t play the role they wanted. And that’s unfair because she’s just being real in a show that’s supposed to be about real emotions.
