Ep 40 - Now I take issue with SJ arguing with SY, her landlady. SJ has crossed the line now because she was very rude, unappreciative and uncompromising. Just accept the food prepared with love from SY with a "Thank you". It doesn't cost her arm or a leg to say that. 😬😑
Where...where could she rent a room for $300 without any deposit?

As for HS, he was already drunk yet let a female neighbour, whom he ran into only twice, into his house and continue drinking with her...😧

"Enemies to Lovers" is the tag in MDL. They are certainly not enemies in the true sense of the word. They are not pally and SJ has, at times, displayed impatience and annoyance with WR. I guess the Writer is showing us how their relationship will evolve from colleagues to friends to more than friends to a couple eventually.

WR will be the one to discover first that he has developed romantic feelings for SJ. SJ will gradually discover her feelings for him.

This is drama and oftentimes situations are exaggerated so much so that it becomes unrealistic.

I might not be able to explain clearly enough but I did my best. 😁

Yup! PTSD and depression.

I often watch drama at a free site called asianc.to previously known as dramacool.

There is a comment section. Someone scolded Seon Young for making excuses for not looking for SJ much earlier. That she should never have left SJ with the ungrateful friend who had an affair with SJ's dad.

Others argued it would be hard to look for a job and accommodation with a young child.

Actually it did also cross my mind that it might be hard but safer to have one's child with you rather than with the stepmother.

But then again, who would know SY would meet with an accident.
A burning question which I have is SJ was about 6 or 7 yo when SY did not return for her. How could SJ not be able to recognise her mother? What's your take on these 2 matters?

I tried putting myself in her shoes now because some commenters were critisizing SJ for being rude to SY and the family. I think SJ is on the verge of a mental breakdown and needs treatment asap. She is unable to think clearly now. Her 25-hour sleep is a bad sign. Living with strangers and her years of hard work has gone down the drain. The public is judging and badmouthing her that she had to use sunglasses when she steps out of the house. Oh...I do pity and feel for her.

I do enjoy this drama because Ham Eun Jung and Baek Sung Hyun have good chemistry. 💘

PS - Sorry I was long-winded. 🤭

Given that Ma Ri (HS's mum) harbours so much hatred for her husband, Jin Tae, he must have used underhanded methods to get her late father, who was the founder of Haedeul hospital, to allow him to marry her and thereby securing his position as the Director or was it CEO. Maybe he got Ma Ri drunk and pregnant?
This family has a couple of skeletons in the cupboard. 🙄

The tag for this drama is "Enemies to Lovers" so it is the usual trope which writers like to to use for the lead couple.
Could be embarrassment too that she was WR's senior at the hospital and was such a popular psychiatrist with her own show too. But she has now fallen flat and even renting a room at WR's house. Actually I do feel for her.

SJ is right now not in touch with her family and I think...that by the time she is feeling better mentally, NY might have already wormed her way into the Han's family with a pregnancy lie.
🤢

Oh the extreme stress which I was referring to was the time when videos of her scolding and hitting NY was out for all to see. The netizens were cursing and scolding her and her years of hard work went down the drain. She then lost her job and might never be able to find a psychiatrist job again. The stress was so severe that she passed out at the CourtYard Restaurant.

Yes, SJ needs to learn the truth that her mother did not abandon her. Make peace with her mother and unload her pain of abandonment. Then learn to trust and believe that there are genuinely kind people in this world.

Unfortunately, I don't think it will happen anytime soon. We will see how it pans out.

Hi!
It is indeed hard to watch SJ's ungracious interaction with WR's family.

Despite being a well-known and well-loved psychiatrist, it seems that she is totally oblivious that her own mental health is very weak atp and she needs treatment asap. I think extreme stress has clouded her judgement coupled with decades of verbal abuse and even physical abuse from that stepmother. Hence, now she is uncomfortable when strangers show genuine concern for her.

WR will be the one to slowly help SJ onto the road to recovery. 🥰

Preview of episode 40
Whoa! NY is very swift in her entrapment of HS. Just as @HJHofT17 has mentioned about a fake pregnancy, HS is a Goner now that NY will soon claim that she is pregnant and coerce HS and his parents that she must join the Han family. His dream of SJ returning to him has burst into smithereens!
I reeeally feel sorry for HS now. 🤭😆🤣

👍❤️😊

Naebyeol, I do hope you have recovered from depression. ❤️

The stepmother would disallow her to leave if she did not promise to send money. She is the money tree...the cash cow. 😆

I am trying to understand why SJ is so unaware and so insensitive to what is happening to her own mental well-being. Could it be she is in a complete meltdown and sleeping will not need her to deal with her sad situation. When she is interacting with Seon Young and WR, it is as if she does not care about others' feelings anymore. She is like living in a world of her
own.

WR will be the one who will get her out of this rut. He is already displaying so much concern for SJ. It is actually love masked as concern. 😍

I think when HS and NY join forces as a couple, life for SJ will become very hard as that Crazy Couple will build obstacle after obstacle for SJ. Right now, WR is spared as he has not shown any interest in SJ in front of HS and NY. But later...he will also be attacked.

I am pondering if SJ has deep depression. Do depressed people sleep for 25 hours? 🤔

Yes...in real life, SJ would have, not only, left her toxic family but left to work in another country. She can send some money home regularly.

Are you enjoying this drama as much as I am? 😊

My hunch came true...NY is worming her way into HS's life now! 🤢
The King and Queen of Schemes will become the Best Couple in their World. 👿

But life for SJ and even WR will only become harder. NY did say in an earlier episode that she will not let SJ pick herself up and stand up...that she will continue to stomp on her. 😵‍💫

If this was real life, SJ needs to start her life in another country as well as cut ties with her family. The awful words which her stepmother spewed out, on knowing that she was missing, were inhuman. Her dad....biological dad has failed to protect her long ago.

Kindness begets kindness. Because SJ showed kindness to Doo Ri when NY damaged the dress and refused to admit it, Doo Ri now repays her kindness by persuading her mum to rent the spare room to SJ for $300. 🥰

SJ & WR will be having more screentime now. They have such good chemistry. Can't wait to watch them develop romantic feelings. 💘

I have a hunch that NY will try to worm her way into HS's life and try to get married to him. How? Maybe...when HS is in a drunken state. We have about 80 episodes to see how it might happen. 😁

Ep 35 - The last few seconds when poor SJ looked shocked with widened eyes and parted lips but her expression changed quickly with lowered eyes and pursed lips. This is a good sign as SJ showed fierce determination in how to deal with the incredulous situation which HS created.
HS is a Goner...
Dying to watch ep 36 😄

HS is the King of Scum and Fools!
How could he pull a fast one on SJ by not telling her that her dad and stepmother would be present at the dinner at the end of the episode?

HS has just single-handedly made SJ hate him...which is very good 😄 because our lead couple will now draw closer to each other soon.💘

On top of that, he tried to glean personal info from SJ's dad regarding the person SJ was looking for. That was very disrespectful and devious of him. HS could not be bothered with SJ's privacy...he just wanted to satisfy his own curiosity. Thankfully SJ's dad refused to disclose...because he was ashamed of cheating SJ's mum. 🙄

How was my reply rude???
Your 2nd reply is so rude again.
Don't put words in my mouth. When did I say I didn't want to engage others? I CLEARLY TOLD YOU NOT ENGAGE ME AGAIN, UNDERSTAND?

I am really pissed off by the likes of you for telling others how to write comments. This is the MDL comments page and you have the nerve to tell me "to refrain from commenting...". ??? 😆

If I messaged the Writer to do a better job, then I am out of line. I was replying to another commenter in the MDL comments page. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. You have a weird perspective of this matter.

This is exactly why I did not tell you previously when I didn't like your comments. Useless talking to the wall. That's why I don't engage the likes of you.

See your last sentence was still you telling me what to do...to block you. You are putting yourself on a high pedestal and instructing commenters how to write and what to do. 🫤

Grow up......🥱

"It will be explained in due time. Just be patient, and refrain from comments like “do a better job”. "

Your reply is rude when you tell others how to write comments. "Refrain from comments like..."??? You don't even have the courtesy to phrase it nicely? Think...how would you feel if a commenter told you the same thing.

I have never liked your comments and no longer bothered to read them. But I have REFRAINED from telling you how to write your comments.

Please do not engage me ever again.
