Dreamy

Me too! Anything but him please! Poor Feita 😩

I feel safer we'll be having a HE when his suicide note is on her hand but now that it's not, ngl it's making me worried that she'll only gonna read it later at his last, despite future ep spoiler looking promising for a walk towards HE.

True, this is what I get from him too, he liked her presence but doesn't see her romantically

I think people love Ju Yeon with Hye Ri more than his character ever like/ love Hye Ri 😆

Idk, I don't even think his character here is being written as loving Hye Ri, to me it's more like he's intrigued by her, curious about her & fondness feeling of seeing someone so different in mind yet somehow feel related to her, but not in love just yet.
He even denied it himself when Hye Ri asked him if he keep thinking of her & find her pretty.
The latest ep to me shows him more as being confused & puzzled than heartbroken.

And I mean, idk why he shd be together with the impossible Hye Ri that doesn't even real when his better choice Hye Yeon is right beside of him.

Ep 18 is out *am watching it rn

You understood his character completely, ep 6 were meant to show us his character background for people to understand why he is the way he is right now. Why his words often harsh, I mean how can not he? He only has a gambler dad who's arguably has ever take care of him, gambler dad's friends who often visits & may talk shits here and there, a loan shark grannie & her alcoholic sisters, all these kind of people are those who around him when he grow up without mother figure who can embrace him & softens him up.

His character is flawed, but so does Eun Ho & others.
So instead of trying to nitpicking every flaw of his & labelled him as a horrible being, it'd be better if people can at least try to understand where his character is coming from, give him a chance to grow as a person & learn from his mistake or from something he's never fond of,
instead of judging & keep belittling every good side of him.

Coz that's actually the beauty of this drama.

It seems a ploy for upcoming ep (the scene hasn't arrived yet they're not deleted) but they def won't be the ending couple, don't worry 😄

Ahahah don't worry it seems a ploy for upcoming ep but her & SML def won't be the ending couple coz the love between the leads already settled for quite a while (they developed it since early ep)
& the FL isn't the type who easy to fall in love either, she only act different (soft) to the ML

My guess is HE, I hv a bunch of sizzling hot romantic scene stills of the couple that hasn't been shown even now as of ep 17/26 🤭

You can see the stills here

Yes, the drama is beautiful with symbolism & layers to peel, flawed characters that intertwined one and another, how each one of them hv their own lil' dark secrets that they can't share with anyone, their psychological issue. It's a pity if people focusing too much on the fake love triangle when the drama was never about it to begin with.

I think there's more to it, but she seem fine & Hyeri doesn't get to present for work either so maybe she really didn't?
Also, idk if I remember it wrong, but the voiceover on ep 6 preview where he ask someone (sounds like her psychiatrist) if "her case" is because of him, hasn't been shown in ep 6 yet, right?

My friend's big sister dated her then exhusband for more than 15 years yet their marriage only last for months coz she only discover his mother's & family when they got married and realize their difference is unrepairable. Not common maybe but still plausible even for longterm relationship.

Agreed, that too maybe coz he has never been in a situation where people love him unconditionally,
Like he has to be a famous announcer as a condition for his mother would want to look at him, obedient teenager for his gambler dad & debtor grannies,
so it's something that he couldn't grasp or understand just yet

I feel you *hugs 🥹
My aunt was diagnosed w/ alzheimer & I saw her process both gradual and drastic change till her passing & I too hv a parent who has numerous health problem both past present, going through surgeries, constant medication hence why I feel related to Hyun Oh's matters.

Having sleepless nights of worry & emotional distress of seeing someone we love being sick. It'll drain you out both emotionally & pyshically so his concern isn't something that people shd belittling.
Esp given Eun Ho mentally isn't somewhat stable either.

Hyeon Oh, he makes me cried that moment when Eun Ho storms into his room, vent and leave without giving him a chance to speak or explain.

He has a habit of surpressing his feelings (thanks to his trash, irresponsible parent) & don't have the ability to put nice words and so awkward with it coz no one in his surrounding ever teach him that or put a good example for him to learn.
So yes when he love, he do it awkwardly & can only show his genuine feelings through care.

For a boy who grew up without parent's care, it's amazing how he can show so much care & responsibility even to debts that's not his, when no one obliged him to.

His burden & worryness for not being able to give the marriage Eun Ho wanted is valid. Speaking from experience, it requires both of your mental & physical attention to nurse a sick parents/ elder. Including numerous hospital visits, administration, their daily needs etc that will surely drain you out, esp if you are the one & only, sole caretaker. Even a simple thing like keeping your job will be hard when you're taking so many leave for it.

The granny with dementia, might soon loose their nerve control, they'll forget who they are, to even their face & might poo & pee anywhere. It's not that simple. And he's not only hv 1, 2, 3, 4 but 5 if we also include one who has just passed away.

You'd think the Moon siblings can help him out? sure, when they're single, once they get married, hv spouse w/ their own mind & concern, hv their own family to taken care of, all will be different. Esp when they're not bonded with it, unlike Hyeon Oh.
This is the reality.

And Hyeon Oh doesn't have the leverage from being a son, who can take care of them partially or when he has the time & get pardoned, he is obliged to (as I believe they even make a written contract out of it).

So yes, his concern, his pain, is real.

No matter how you try to make it sounds better, no matter how he love & care for them as they're his own parents & will totally give everything he might for them.
Having a sick inlaw is a nightmare to any daughter's inlaw.
And he loves Eun Ho enough to not put her into this situation he lived in.

Ep 17 😱 I didn't expect they'd come so soon, the storm is comiiiingg!!
Just like I said earlier, this loving tender moments between our leads will only last for a while & shd be cherish while it lasted, it will be hard to see them like this anymore, idk if we could see it again & esp not in the near time 💔

Maybe coz he can't/ don't have the courage or maybe Eun Ho never asked him that either? We know very lil' of him & most if not all is from Eun Ho's POV alone, we shd probably wait a bit to find out more from his POV. I find it's a lil' unfair to judge him completely when all that we see is through Eun Ho's lenses, so ofc there are biases/ not the complete truth

From their break up scene it's been clear that he always mentioned how he never wanted to get married eversince the beginning of their relationship, Eun Ho taking it wrong & just brush it off thinking that later she can change his mind (which's ofc understandable) & yes he broke up with her coz Eun Ho has just told him how she's been wasting her time with him without marriage plans (something that's surprising for him too as he thought they are at the same page). So despite he still loves her at that time, he broke up with her, for her sake coz he can't give her this marriage she wanted. It's a problem of communication, but I think there's nothing wrong with his nor her stand or no, maybe more accurate with both is at fault for this misunderstanding.

We know nothing from his pov, maybe he heard something from Eun Ho during their relationship that makes him believe his baggage would burden her evenmore or she wouldn't like it? Or maybe Eun Ho has always been dependant on him (& expect her man to be reliable) that he feel like he shd be her strongest pillar so he feel recluctant to share his vulnerable side?
I hope we can see more from his pov to understand his character better.

Not everyone, I don't find him toxic, toxic is a strong words to labelled him with.

Rather I find him a misunderstood character, yes he has his fault, his fault is that he can't move on from Eun Ho yet hasn't been able to hv the courage to explain himself why he can't give her the marriage she wants due to this baggage he carried/ find confidence to share his burden to her eventhough he still loves her.
Just like Eun Ho still can't tell him the truth about her mental health/ DID problem either.
