Just got blocked too LOL.
The child has just learned that actions have consequences. Something tells me that rii wasn't liking the rant responses.

Awwww they're so cute.
Gives me hope ngl LOL

Thank you!!
Same. If they change the story that much and make them break up then I'm done.

Yup. Respectful debate is is a lost art.

I can see at least one breakup or at minimum a massive blowup coming our way.
The FL is wishy-washy, their relationship is unstable, and the ML hasn't been firm enough in setting boundries for how far she can push him. With the way things are going, I'm not too optomisitic.

OTOH, I see people talking about a massive shift in the ep 12 preview? I haven't seen it, but it appears he might confess to her or something. If that happens, then maybe the FL will settle, which would make a breakup less likely.

🤣 A child. ISTG if rii is above 12 or 13 I'll eat my phone 🤣

Argue your position properly, or sit down.

Alternatively, feel free spew stupidity and get flattened in the replies by those who present logical, reasonable opinions.

Personally, both are making me laugh 🤣

LMAO this is hysterical. I needed the comedic relief after sufftering through today's episodes. I commented earlier that based on the comments I've seen thus far, the average age of viewers here appears to be 12 yo. I got a counterargument for 15 yo. Based on "rii" I think I'm closer to the mark. 🤣

If I could figure out how to post gifs I'd post one of me banging my head against a wall or yeeting myself out the window in sheer frustration.

Please yell at me to get the heck off of MDL for the day; I'm actively losing brain cells at this point. 😭

😂 😂 😭 😭

This show will go down in history. It should be a freaking case study titled “how to turn a terrific novel into trash”.

Yes! They were great together. I hope to see them paired again someday.

Nice!! I always got the feeling ppl were sleeping on “perfect and casual”. I’m so glad to see it appreciated. It was a fantastic show! It’s on my rewatch list too :))

OMG female empowement just gave me a bad flashback to "Doctor Cha", a korean drama. That was the absolute worst.

I love a strong FL but why they decided that "strong" means "alone" or "illogical" is beyond me. They absolutely have no idea how to portray a true strong woman imo.

Thank you <3

I've seen ML's retaliate by trying to make the FL jealous but never to the extent of going out with someone else, and also they've always been young, like highschool or university romances. You're correct that the FL interacting with another man (for whatever reason) is much more common.

Personally, I hate it. Some of these tropes are enough to do your head in.

What is really driving me nuts in this case is that they are all adults. While I still don't like (or condone) this behavior in teenage romances it at least is excused due to age and lack of life experiece. In an adult? This has no place whatsoever and should be strongly condemned. I am so mad at the writers. Their entire relationship is a mess.

I should take notes 😭😭

GAH!!!! I hope you're wrong about your show predictions. I am *this* close to tossing my phone. Dang it!! I was so freaking happy for this show to air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yup

Let's try flipping the script.

The ML sees the FL on a business dinner with a perceived rival. Without asking any questions he then proceeds to attend a blind date with a different woman in full sight of the FL.
If you don't agree that the entire comment section would be screaming "toxic"at this point then you're in denial.

As a woman, I detest seeing my own kind depicted as immature, driven by emotion, nonsensical. She is 27 years old! She committed to a long-term marriage-like relationship. Yet she does not communicate, constantly plays one -upsmanship, and consistently "retaliates" whenever she decides that he hurt her or did something wrong. This is peak toxic behavior and there is nothing wrong with calling it like it is.

This one certainly does! She should be held accountable for her age and her actions. And the ML is definitely not standing up for himself. He's putting up with a lot and I feel bad for him, honestly.

In a way, they show why he fell for her in high school. It was becasue she was kind and happy/vivacius. He's holding on to that, despite the fact that today she is nothing at all like that anymore-at least not with him. It's sad.


Regarding Miles, I feel your pain, believe me.
He deserves a better script!
My favorite if his is "perfect and casual" where the FL was adorable. They did have some misunderstandings but it didn't last too long and for the most part she was very mature and sensible, despite only being a university student.

I hate to say you're right but...yeah.
I'm sad. Honestly sad. I started reading the novel about six months ago. Followed along the updates. Ended up paying for the advanced chapters. Was really hooked. I'd seriously check the page multiple times a day for updates. The ending was lovely. When I saw they're making it into a show, and that Miles (whom I really like) was the ML, I was so happy. Now this...The show is seriouly breaking my heart.

These tropes are peak teenage drama. Which is insane, because the characters are in their high 20's.
The jealousy, the one-upmanship, the fish kisses, all of it...
Honestly, if they were going to do it this way then change the setting to a high school or university. If they chose to keep the setting then make the characters act their age!

Also, if the genders were reversed, and the ML saw the FL on a business dinner with a perceived rival and in retaliation chose to go on a blind date with a different woman then the entire comment section would be shouting "toxic!!" at the top of their lungs...
