Exactly I watch a lot of cdramas too and it does usually take 20 episodes for the leads to get together, sometimes even 30 episodes haha.

People want fastfood dramas nowadays. But where is the journey.
I am all for quick romances and love when confessions happen quicker than slower. But I still will try to have patience to see the story pan out. People's idea of slow is getting shocking to me. Back in the day we will watch dramas for 5 seasons with the main leads not still together and not knowing if the main leads will ever get together, but still loved the journey.
It's before the halfway mark, 10 episodes to go, so there is still time.
Now if it's 2 episodes before the end and they are still not together then I will be on your team haha. 😁

Well I
Personally don't think it's coming off fully one side, more so that the writer is leaving us to guess if it's one side, or is she does have feelings too.
But I still think there is a clear hints she might like him too.
We are not half way yet so there is still plenty of time.
Pivotal moments normally happen in the halfway mark.

But I think the vagueness is the point. FL is so good at hiding her emotions. Us audience are wondering is it one sided, does the FL have feelings too. That is what is also keeping people's emotions on edge. It's almost like a mystery.
There is a very high possibility that there is going to be a reveal of when FL liked ML. Their friendship is so long. Spanning 29 years approximately. So there is a very high possibility the writer hasn't revealed everything. Probably didn't want to reveal everything yet.

Episode 5 clearly showed hints of her jealousy and heart flutter for the ML, so personally I think there are hints that she has romantic feelings for the ML.

Oh how I wished that Seung Hyo just admitted his feelings at the end of episode 6
Why is he torturing himself 😭

But I am just glad that she even saw the letter even though he lied it was a joke, at least it put the topic in the air and got the FL thinking.

Makes sense that they need to sort out the ex issue first before the main leads fully sort out their feelings for each other.

In kdrama land sometimes the halfway mark is a pivotal moment. So I am hoping next week there will be a confession.

Preach! Exactly!

I am an English speaker. English is my first language.
But the obsession English speakers have with slamming a show or episode when there is English done, I just think is unfair.
It's not that serious. They do like English speaking is the most important part of the show or episode now when it's spoken. They focus more on that than even the plot.

Yet when English speakers try to speak other languages in dramas or movies and do it horribly they expect others to clap for them and pat them them on the back for speaking another language. That is double standards.

I think English speakers should think why do I get so irritated when English is spoken in other countries dramas.
Because I really think there is some sense that English is the superior language.
Have people simply thought that people are trying their best. That the actors are trying their best.
Alot of us here can't even speak Korean that's why we are even relying on subs.
Some of us here would even still have difficulty speaking Korean even after a year of learning.

You make a good point, because nobody knows she has been cheated on even her best friends, she has be lying about what really happened, so there is a high possibility that she is telling a lie about being still in love with her ex .

I am excited to see the smitten side of Seung Hyo .
But it's sad that he over heard Seok ryu say she still in love with her ex.

But why do I feel the conversation is not as straightforward as it seems.
Like 2 seconds later she might say actually I don't think so.

I think ex relationships have layered and complicated feelings. Even if she got cheated on by her ex, I think she has lingering attachment, I mean she was going to marry the man.
So I do think it is realistic to show moving on from a past relationship, especially someone who she was going to marry, is not as easy or quick.
But I do think FL liked the ML at some point in their friendship but she deliberately supressed her feelings to protect their friendship like the ML did.
I do think now she is back home she will realize still has feelings for the ML again and not her ex.

I think she might work in the Ml company and help him with his business.
