The author’s intention is very clear when choosing to explore a slow-burn relationship. There are plenty of dramas where the male and female leads only get together at the very end — for example, Numbers or Military Prosecutor Doberman.

That cut scene at the end of ep 6 on JTBC Drama the FL in the ML’s office and then them having coffee felt kinda romantic, right?

ah yes

what do u mean

remake is thế tv serie or movie???

I just watched the cute scene in episodes 7 and 8. It seems like the next two episodes will have more hints, while episodes 5 and 6 seemed to focus more on the case and on the trust and comfort they have with each other.

People say there’s a loveline because of the way the writer drops hints in every episode – which isn’t meaningless at all – and the chemistry between the two leads is really good. Even if the show isn’t officially labeled as romance, it still feels like slight romance, and their relationship is being built in a slow-burn way, so it’ll probably become clearer in the later episodes. LJW has taken on a wide range of roles, especially in action and drama, so it’s not like he’s typecast in romance. The last project of his that leaned into romance was Dear Hyeri

nah this is slight romance drama,sad for u

Episodes 5 and 6 had so few hints that it’s really hard for me to guess.

There is a loveline, my friend, because from episode 1 until now there have been quite a few interesting hints.

The hints in episodes 5 and 6 are really just crumbs, but in the first 4 episodes they felt more obvious — more like small pieces of bread.

Maybe she just wanted to see what kind of person he was, that’s why she kept drinking with him. And since it was so unexpected at that moment, she just reacted that way.

Ahhh, episodes 5 and 6 had so few hints of the main couple that I felt a bit discouraged. Hopefully, episodes 7 and 8 will give us more hints.

Maybe I misread it, but at the end you said you “expect the FL to do something stupid to expose the situation,” and also mentioned that she keeps doing something dumb but always ends up safe by the end of each episode — what exactly did you mean by that?

I’m just saying, don’t express your opinion in such a harsh way. Calling the FL stupid and all that just sounds ridiculous — almost like toxic feminism.

Honestly, the FL may be talented, but she’s not perfect. She oversleeps, is kind of messy, a bit goofy, and even has congenital dyslexia. She’s strong and skilled, but still flawed — and the ML has his flaws too. I feel like the show is meant to highlight these imperfections so the characters can grow, so there’s nothing really worth criticizing here

yes for me slowburn romance is the best

Where did you even read that people are annoyed when there’s no loveline? Toxic viewers in Korea and on MDL were actually upset because the show has a loveline and even bashed it. From the very beginning, the drama has followed a slight romance approach, yet it still got bashed. As for the complaints, it’s only because the first four episodes had lots of hints while the later ones had fewer, which made fans worried — simply because the chemistry between the two leads is so good.

To all the anti-romantics out there, are you really saying the hints the writer has planted over six episodes are meaningless? It’s completely normal that some episodes have more and some have fewer hints—that’s how a slow-burn relationship works, it’s not supposed to be rushed. With the current trend in Korean dramas, many shows include romance elements as just a slight touch, and that’s not rare at all. So just keep watching the drama without trying to judge whether there is or isn’t a romance.

It doesn’t seem like the male lead still loves his ex-wife at all—he’s moving on day by day. And the fact that people are hoping for a loveline is totally normal, because the writer has deliberately planted so many hints throughout the episodes. Their hopes aren’t wrong. You just don’t want there to be a loveline, so you prefer to interpret things in a more “serious” way, that’s all. This relationship needs time and is being built as a slow burn, not something rushed.
