Sometimes to tell the biggest lies u have to make yourself believe them first. And maybe now she knows it in her heart but denying because it helps her cause and also pushes her grief away for the moment. The denial is emotionally easier.

Also to add to what u said, crutches hurt, u cant rely on them 24x7.

Now this is something I can agree with. To be honest, if the grandpa had expressed those concerns, I would have understood where he was coming from. Differences in background, social expectations, family dynamics, and the pressures that come with wealth are all very real challenges. They don't make a relationship impossible, but they do make it more complicated and require a lot of effort from both sides.

My issue is that those weren't the reasons he actually focused on. Instead, he kept bringing up their incomplete families as if that alone made them incompatible. That made his reasoning feel unfair and judgmental. Had he addressed his concern about practical realities, rather than judgment on their upbringing, it would have come across as a much more reasonable concern rather than a personal critique.

Tbh, Se Gye is also an unloved child from a broken family. He doesn’t trust any of his relatives, not even his grandpa, while Shin So Ri grew up with a loving grandmother. Yes, their social and financial standings are quite different, but with her career gradually advancing, the gap is slowly closing.

While it’s not universal, “broken” people are often the ones who desire and prioritize a warm, normal family the most. That nuance makes the idea of them finding each other more compelling, not less.

The concerns you outlined are nuanced, reasonable and wise. The grandpa's comments, on the other hand, came across as if two people who experienced loneliness somehow shouldn't be together because of it. That's the part I strongly disagree with.

I also wish dramas would explore the issues you mentioned more often instead of reducing everything to "good family" versus "bad family." It would make these conflicts much more interesting and believable.

Tbh, Se Gye is also an unloved child with a broken family. He doesn't trust any of of his family members enough to trust them, including gradpa. Shin So Ri instead grew up with a loving grandma. Yes their financial/social standings are poles apart but with FL getting more gigs it the gap is gradually closing up inch by inch. I agree that different values makes it difficult to work out but that is not what grandpa focused on. He did not even talk about that, which is why his reasoning seems unfair. Of course had he raised concerns about their different upbringing it would have seemed fairer.

Right? I think some younger folks put way too much emphasis on looks when discussing casting. Being attractive doesn't automatically make someone the better choice for a lead role. Acting is about making the audience feel invested in the character, and that's where experience and performance make a difference. Everyone has their favourites, but I'd rather watch the actor who brings the character to life than the one who just looks good on screen.

He is HOTTT

Absolutely agree 💯💶

In Japanese, “-kun” is an honorific suffix used after someone’s name. It’s usually applied to boys or young men, often by someone older or in a friendly/affectionate way. So when people say “Truck-kun” in memes or anime/manga discussions, they’re personifying the truck in a playful, Japanese-style way. It’s usually referring to the infamous trope where a character after being hit by a truck, often as a plot device in isekai or dramatic scenes, begins an adventure in a new world after being reincarnated. The “-kun” adds a cute or humorous touch, like the truck is a mischievous character rather than just a vehicle.

Some common honorifics are:
-san → polite/respectful ("Tanaka-san")
-kun → friendly, often for boys or juniors ("Yuki-kun")
-chan → cute/affectionate ("Miku-chan")
-sama → very respectful or worshipful ("Lord-sama" type vibe)

I think they r saving money on set lol. But I am ok with that cuz then they can spend it on more important backgrounds. Like the CG in truck-kun scene 🥲😭😭

Why is grandpa always and I mean ALWAYS fishing!? Does he have nothing else to do? Why be there so late at night. I can only imagine the insects at night, on top of low visibility for an old aged man.

So tired of the "2 broken ppl should not be together" or "I want him/her to have a partner with lots of love to share". Is the amount of love measured like water!? Is it an overflowing glass for ppl who grew up in "normal" families?? And what kind of logic is "mother-in-law who would love him like her son". Sir, with all due respect, it's mother-IN-LAW for a reason, of course she won't or can't. The partners need to love each other, everyone else is bonus. Period. This logic always makes my skin crawl. We are in 21st century. Grow up. And most of all, ML does not like his fiancé, and he has made is abundantly clear to everyone involved. What sad misfortune would it be to actually get them together. Yikes.

Or she died in child birth... NAHH. Who am I kidding, my first thoughts were the same as yours 😂

Truck-kun T_T

Haha, I agree. C-drama has made my patience to wait for next episode smaller. The cdrama format is perhaps what made me watch them initially haha. Now only select kdramas catch my attention while c-dramas are for everyday. Been watching Dazzling these days. It's nice.

Hehe yes! Very classic

I have an inkling that grandfather knew about Mundo's antics. Maybe not all, maybe not from the start but he knew at some point. And so to protect his grandson he is asking him to marry a "complete" and powerful family.

If Mundo truly loves his son (I have my doubts), I wonder why he is alone in the US?

I am dreading FL going back the most though. What would happen to Se Gye? : ((. Would she help out her exiled first love become king? They dont have enough episodes left to pull it all off so I am guessing no. But if they did show her saving him, I would personally love it.

Yep. If in a different drama with similar intro had taken the route of younger ML suing them and maybe even becoming a lawyer to do so and bring them all down, I would have cheered it on a lot more. This a bit like betraying my personal morals, if that makes sense 😅. I will still watch it cuz I still like the premise and the casting/acting is great haha

Thank you ❤️

Right! He was the one who was very dominant and controlling. But still covered their wrongdoings. Now, the adult children learnt whatever they saw and felt. They are a product of his upbringing.
