Anyone else feel infuriated by how the SML keeps bothering ML whenever things don't go well with FL? Like bro loves to guilt trip both ML and FL at every chance possible. She is your GF ffs. Just sort out the issues with her directly instead of shamelessly playing the 'hyung' card on her ex husband 😂

I think it's just the pregnancy weight gain.

Agreed. Same feeling here. She should avoid multi lead cast projects coz now is the ripe time for her to stamp herself as a main lead. This casting news was a massive bummer for me :/

I am totally with you on this but just said what will eventually happen in the drama 🙈

I know. I was simply trying to reason with that unpopular opinion or rather how the opinion still doesn’t portray the ML in good light. I think I am allowed do that, am I not? :)

This is definitely going the tragic past route I feel. FL will finally know about this in 10,11 episode and accept him xD

Think it was an outcome of her hurt. He made her feel like shit and unworthy in a matter of few minutes. She did say she was embarrassed by the reason. This was her attempt to move on from him completely. but obviously from the preview, she doesn't. loool

But your reasoning doesn't makes sense mainly coz if he really intended that, he wouldn't have come back to the same law firm where she worked however hard his life was. If the FL happiness was his priority and he wanted her to move on from him like you said, he wouldn't have just projected himself into her life all over again out of nowhere. So no, you cannot understand where he was coming when making that decision. It only shows him as immature af at best. A potential man child unless a traumatic past can salvage his behavior

Right? He is literally made her life hell for all these years with the whole fake affair and continues to do so by hanging out with the SFL without showing any iota of remorse for making her feel shit.

Totally. I said the same below that a traumatic past is the only way to reprieve the ML character at this point.

Exactly. I am thinking they are gonna bring some traumatic past to justify his behavior. That's the only last bit of hope left for ML at this point if they are going for a ML-FL reconcile

Firstly, He has to pay alimony because he is obligated to by law. It has nothing to do with him doing right or wrong.

You say it's ignorance to assume everyone is open to other choices. So, let's assume he did it for the better for FL but ends up doing a far worse thing than what could have possibly happened if he just told her the truth about infertility. He hurt her worse eventually and doesn't show any remorse till now despite seeing how she has been living her life in hell ever since she knew about the whole fake affair thing. All she gets back from him after all this BS was an effin sorry in a court room? It's interesting how you don't see the elephant in the room here. You cannot sell the ML character with the whole infertile reason at all. It will only make him worse for the kind of choice he made because of it if it were to be true. The only way for his character justification I see is a traumatic/tragic past wrt kids.

So how does that justify all the emotional trauma the FL was subjected to for years just coz she was made to believe that her beloved sold himself to lust when they loved each other so much for years? Come one, mate.. The FL being unjustly made to live a life of emotional baggage cannot be justified that easily just coz ML felt she wouldn't be open to that idea of adoption. It was not his decision to make in the first place. This is why I say it's even harder to sell his character with that reason. There is no hope unless the writer brings in some kind of traumatic past into the picture

I understand but the issue here is you are not able to sympathise with ML even with that reason which makes it even more harder to sell his character to us. To make it worse, he is doing zero effort to reconcile with her despite showing hints of still liking her. Unless the writer comes up with something incredibly convincing wrt his behavior, his character is pretty much down the drain in my book.

I never mixed two worlds though. When I say realistically, it surely means IRL i.e in real life, people sleep with their bf/gf all the time. The FL does the same here (likely). I just reasoned as to why majority feel uncomfortable with FL sleeping with SML in drama world when a bf and gf sleeping together isn't really an issue in real world.

It would be funny but unlikely a dream because she meets the SML mother in that scene. She probably just took a shower in his place likely.

Exactly. IMO, writer definitely did ML dirty at this point. I can see no hope of him showing any hints of reconciling with her. Someone mentioned infertility as the reason he did what he did but that makes him even worse. I know they will give a ML-FL happy ending, but it needs a lot of selling in the next 6 episodes especially from ML pov.

That would be again deadass stupid from the ML. He could have easily told her the truth and discussed the possibility of adoption at this age and time. So if this turns out to be true, it's even more hard to sell the ML character than it already is. The writer is definitely doing him dirty at this point.

we don't know yet. Only next episode can answer the curiosity ;)

I know, this is how majority will feel because of the rooting of ML-FL endgame. But if you think realistically, she is single and divorced. She starts dating someone and is merely sleeping with her current boyfriend. It's that simple and happens everywhere. I know most people will readily accept it if she sleeps with ML now because everyone wants a ML-FL endgame and want their FL and her body only reserved for ML and vice versa. I just want the writer to break that stereotype and make it realistic :) (but most likely it won't. They are definitely misleading us in the preview unless they make it a drunk one-night stand where she remembers nothing )
