I think @Nick's post sums it up in a few words: QUOTE: "I see FL as one of the villains of the story, because her actions aren't completely justified. She is selfish, she--like her friend who betrayed her--wants what she feels she's entitled to. And she's willing to hurt others to make her dreams come true. That is why she doesn't feel like she's wrong in pursuing the Fiancé. She isn't falling in love with him. She's falling in love with the fact that he's fallen in love with her. She sees herself as getting her own Prince charming."
and I say - she is falling in love with the image of herself as someone precious who gets a lot of attention. The temptation of self glorification turned an otherwise neutral "good naive girl" into a villain basing her life on sand castles. So.. how will she come back from this muck...?

FL in the past used to be like a pion in chess, could move up only one square. This more capable rational successful thinking FL is like turning that pion into a Queen and being able to move in so many directions, so we get infinitely more plots . Hm this is not a good analogy bc 4 queens on the chessboard would mean a lot faster game :) OK another metaphor...

The old kdrama FL was like the script writer had a palette with just a few colors - guilt, anxiety, fear, "love" and doormating -
and this new competent FL is like the script writer got a pallette with zillion colors, so now the paintings are a lot more ineteresting, the stories are now infinitely more unique and diverse

FYI Yedra, you gonna love drama Incongnito, this time a good competent FL with faults in a tricky situation :)

Chabol stepmom is a gumiho, eats human liver...

I understand now what you are saying - if you have to tell someone to care for you, then you realize they do not really care - but I do not think it applies here.
2ML really really really tried to care for JH before the wedding and JH just cut him out but then felt offended that 2ML was not doting on him.
heck 2ML is not obliged to cater to JH's tantrums. Live with it, JH. Grow up.

JH is not some grand baby prince whose as@ gets kissed so that the little darling would feel good all the time. JH owes to his friend too. JH has been mistreatiing 2ML, imo.

Now 2ML is less of a doormat and JH is offended. LOL JH is a typical ... control freak entitled spoiled brat.

Also regardless if 2ML came to say about EH or not, he did say he will pursue EH and JH did not say a word, keeping his feelings secret. THat's trashy

OOOOhhhhh! Wow that Ripley title is so revealing and so accurate!!! this is exactly what is happening here!!!!!
FL started with ok i will say a few things in a club, to ok I will be her for a week until she comes back. then for a month until she comes back, then i hope she doesnt come back, then saying that to the face of her mother and brother, and the next thing I expect her to say is "ok lets make sure she never comes back, lets find her and kill her"

So why I was so curious is .... HOW she will come back from this... ? She is going toooo far....

But JP is still not loving YR. He is still frozen and does not feel anything. He needs to defrost and LIVE from his heart. He is shut down zipped up detached

yeah JP is an immature and ignorant person, unaware of his feelings :) and thus he is still not suitable as a partner. UNTIL HE WAKES UP and start breathing and living and loving, he is a dead beat. Unqualified for a relationship

Not THIS JP though :) he has to defrost and grow up first :)

The AmericanScholar boy is there to remind JP that there are deadlines and he better get it going LOL and also - life is strange... anything can happen at any moment... For example, YR can realize JP dragged her around for 7 years..... and then walk away. THe lawyer can turn out to be super extra serious and a lot better partner than deadbeat parasitic JP.
And by some miracle, JP could also turn into a hot lover overnight and be a lifetime lovebird for YR. That is the most organic solution BUT HE GOTTA MAKE IT HAPPEN OR ELSE IT WONT HAPPEN :) they will stay stuck in their 1950s relationship he the grand prince

If JP does not wake up from his bland blah lifeless stupor, like ASAP, then YR should just leave him alone as someone underserving of her love.

JP should have confessed to YR if his feelings really changed.

Back then, Everyone knew he liked JH.... so YR had to keep her mouth shut for a while about her love for him. He was legit - he liked JH, and YR did not confess.
But by that 4-some picnic, everyone knew that YR loved JP.
SHE ALREADY SHOWED HER LOVE AND EVERYONE KNEW THAT SHE LOVED JP

AFTER 7 YEARS EVERYONE SCOLDED HIM FOR KEEPING HER ON WITH A CARROT ON THE STICK. If he truly loved her, JP would have confessed to her first and would have pursued her. He cannot be acting a snowflake broken for 7 years from his first love. What a bologney to treat an adult man as if he were a fragile piece of glass and to walk on eggshells around him for years and years!!!!.

Just a quick test: if YR was dragging JP like he dragged her, would you accept it as normal?

YR should have NOT let JP drag it that much. After a while, say a year or two at most, she should have nailed him down to come out and admit if he likes JH still. She should have skillfully done that so that her heart doesnt get crushed out.

If he said I dont like JH anymore, THEN she could safely confess. If he said I dont like you, then she should have moved on.

No other solution is suitable bc it would have crushed YR's heart.

So it is YR's immaturity and YR's fault that she let him tease her for 7 years and never committed himself in spite of all her efforts and genuine care for him.

There is such a thing that he should confess first :) bc everyone knew he liked JH.... so YR had to keep her mouth shut for a while about her love for him. But then after a while, she should have nailed him down to come out and admit if he likes JH still. She should have skillfully done that so that her heart doesnt get crushed out. If he said no, I dont like JH anymore, THEN she could safely confess. If he said I dont like you, then YR should have moved on asap.
No other solution is suitable bc it would have crushed YR's heart.

I dont think JP caught real feelings for YR. He is treating her as a side chick. If he had TRUE feelings, he would behave like he did with JH - he would have asked YR out on dates and would have been ah so charming to woo her. He never ever did that with YR.
I am not buying the theory that his heart was crushed with his first love JH and he is still nursing his wounds, 7 years later. Heck what kind of thin glass is he made out of?
YR at first could not open her mouth to confess, bc it was clear he liked JH.
But then later when JP was just dragging a carrot in front of her for years, she should have opened her mouth and said - HEY, HOW ABOUT JH DO YOU STILL LIKE HER? If he said no, then she should ahve said - DO YOU LIKE ME? I LIKE YOU. And then move on if he didnt respond with the utmost enthusiasm.

A real adult speaks their mind, a real man will pursue the woman he is interested in, and JP is not doing anything. Yeah help her with the foot or carry her home, sure, but he does it with as much enthusiasm as for helpinga younger sister. Bad bad bad signs....

Pfsk a man has first love and his heart is broken for 7 years and that justifies him being bland to another girl for 7 years, while she dotes on him like a loving servant.... Suit yourself. I suppose you date guys like that and are used to mediocrity? A guy like that is weak, immature and ABUSIVE. Emotionally unavailable. :) I guess you dont know any better - have you ever met a real man? Good luck! Bye! :)

I dont think JP caught real feelings for YR. He is treating her a side chick. If he had TRUE feelings, he would behave like he did with JH - he would have asked YR out on dates and would have been ah so charming to woo her. He never ever did that with YR.

It is not about math and how many dates or meetings. People fall in love as soon as they meet or after 50 years "suddenly".
JP was attracted to JH, showered her with attention and she fell for it and thought of him for 7 years!!!!!! And he obviously thought of her too for 7 years...

Or for chairmna's wife whom she locked up LOL that was my first thought LOL

It is interesting isnt it, SML likes FL "mentally" he THINKS he likes her but there is no evidence whatsoever. A guy who really likes would be a lot more pursuing actively, like... JH lol JH is relentless LOL and very open about it and very sneaky if need be, but RELENTLESS, he knows what he wants and he goes for it. When in his good side, he is really fun :)

I never pay attention to previews, online descriptions, and titles, so imo SML could become ML :) but how the drama is, he never will. He lacks the chemistry with EH and she just never saw him as a man. She reacts to JH :_

Thank you for your kind words!
I love analysis, it is like solving puzzles :)

@allaboute I see your point now, both of us are correct. I was correct that YR had to keep her mouth shut since she saw he liked JH. So he had to confess first that he is out of it.

But then you are right after some years, YR should have openly asked JP if he still thinks of JH or her, and if he didnt enthusiastically confirm he is ah so in love with her, she should have just moved on.
