Father and younger son just got Scott free, typical male centered male worshipping society.

always making the fl looks bad as if director had some personal beef with her

Yes, in boy worshippers eyes every move a woman makes is wrong, she has to be always apologetic and self sacrificing or else she doesn’t “deserve” their golden boy.

Thank you these people mostly women criticize her like they never lived in real world. According to them we live in perfect world, Flora is dumb one.

You wrote a lot to defend Luke, but you conveniently skipped the most important part of the equation: why Flora didn't tell him. You can't build a case for "us" while completely erasing his behavior that shattered that "us" in the first place. Let's break down your beautifully packaged argument, because it's textbook victim-blaming wrapped in relationship jargon.

1. On "exclusive" and "us"
Commitment does not mean forfeiting your right to process trauma on your own timeline. "Exclusive" means romantic and sexual fidelity—it does not mean totalitarian access to her psyche, nor does it mean she hands over her autonomy the moment they label the relationship. You're using "us" as a cudgel to demand she suppress her fear of his judgment. But here's the thing: "Us" only works if both people feel emotionally safe. He called her cheap and stupid over "small things." Why on earth would she bring a major, shame-inducing trauma to a man who has already proven he weaponizes her mistakes? You want her to treat him like a partner before he acts like one.

2. On "putting herself in danger"
She didn't put herself in danger—a predator did. Your framing shifts blame from the actual perpetrator (and the corrupt system protecting him) to Flora for not running to her boyfriend first. That's not concern; that's control. Her decision to handle it her way wasn't reckless—it was a woman navigating a horrific situation with a support system she knew she could actually trust in that moment. Luke wasn't it, because he hadn't earned it.

3. On your "accident" hypothetical
False equivalence 101. An accident is neutral misfortune; sexual harassment/assault involves shame, power imbalance, and institutional betrayal. Comparing the two is intellectually dishonest. If Luke had a traumatic event where he felt humiliated and judged by her in the past, and he chose to handle it alone out of fear of her reaction—then you'd have a point. But that's not what happened. He created the environment where she learned silence was safer.

4. On Luke's "heroic" resignation
Let's not canonize him for doing damage control for his own company's corruption. Resigning was the bare minimum of accountability for the toxic environment he was complicit in. And notice: his grand strategy still didn't involve asking Flora what she needed. He went into savior mode without ever addressing why she didn't come to him first. He fixed the external problem while completely ignoring the internal one—his own disrespectful treatment of her.

5. On "communication, trust, and honesty"
Yes, those are the foundation. But foundations are built, not demanded. Luke demanded her honesty while offering her contempt. Flora didn't "fail badly"—she adapted to a partner who made vulnerability dangerous. You're asking her to be a perfectly transparent communicator while giving Luke a complete pass for being a hostile recipient.

Here's the bottom line: You're not defending "us." You're defending a dynamic where the woman must be endlessly forgiving, perfectly open, and grateful for the man's belated rescue—while his prior cruelty gets erased. That's not a relationship. That's a worship session. And calling Flora the problem while Luke's disrespect is conveniently ignored? That's not "explaining clearly." That's misogyny with a thesaurus.

Thank you I’m tired birds keep defending him they think others are as boy crazy as they are

I need to address something, because the takes I'm seeing are genuinely concerning.

The way some of you are dissecting this show is a textbook case of internalized misogyny. You hold the female lead to an impossible standard of perfection. She must be forgiving, transparent, and endlessly patienr. While the male lead gets a free pass for calling her cheap, shaming her over small things and taking zero accountability for his disrespect. Why does his bad attitude get a storyline, but her reaction to that bad attitude is vilified?

Here's the non-negotiable truth: Emotional safety comes BEFORE emotional transparency, not after. He does not get automatic access to her inner world just because he's her boyfriend. That title is an invitation to earn trust, not a receipt for unconditional access. If he shames her when she opens up, she will stop opening up. Her silence isn't the root problem. It’s a symptom of his unreliability. Blaming her for not trusting him is just weird. If my boyfriend called me cheap in any context I would never ever trust him and would block him immediately too.

I’m watching it again, and Yun Song writer is soo funny 😆. Honestly the different reactions to the game of different women was most hilarious part to me.

Dick licker alert

I’m introvert o force myself to be extrovert to put food on my table. I don’t take his excuse at all. Millions of introverts forced to be in public. But he who is paid more than average person can’t ?!

Thats a fair point about the smaller promo materials but that actually makes it harder to excuse him. If there's less to do, he should be able to handle the few things that are there. I understand introversion is exhausting and I respect him chasing his dream, but the female lead is still out there doing the work. Shes probably exhausted too but she shows up. No one is saying introverts cant act. Im just saying when the promo gets split, shes doing 90 percent of it and hes doing 10. Compared to her hustle, that looks lazy. He can feel awkward and still post a single photo or sit through one interview. She didnt sign up to promote for two people.

I thought Koreans were too harsh on him and his looks being subpar. Now i understand get we’re talking about commitment at work.

He may be introverted and that's fine, but let's be real. The female lead is out here doing all the interviews, posts, and fan engagement while he barely shows up. It's not introvert anymore, it's just not matching her effort. If his agency isn't promoting him, he should step up instead of letting her carry the whole thing. Sorry, but compared to her hustle, he's looking pretty lazy. He make it look like introverts slack at work.

Why ordinary people can work even when they are exhausted why this successful actor gets a pass?!

I just found out male actor does not participate in promotions. wtf?! If I was his colleague or writer, director, producer I would be fcking pissed at him! What an unprofessional man! Why the fck does he work as actor? There are millions of actors who would do his job. If he hates it so much than do plays in theaters but even there you promote your work. Ungrateful and unprofessional! No wonder he was such weird vibes during Doona promotions. If he hates it so much he should retire. To his stupid fans I have right to think he is lazy bum!

There is no common sense. Truck killers, never ending amnesias what common sense you are talking about?

FL sees ghosts and “infect “ other with that ability. What realism?!

I am soo tired of comments saying she is selfish For studying abroad and taking her time to get in relationship with He Suye. I understand Zhang linghe is very handsome and He suye is perfect in this drama. But this drama shows even if there is perfect person in front of you, you can’t neglect your own needs to get this perfect guy. Xifan healed from her ghosting ex bf first, and then pursued He Suye. She didn’t just accept his feelings and went with it. But she actively pursued him herself. For studying abroad, every one needs higher qualifications to further their degree, Xifan can’t be stuck at one place forever. It’s not production, director, screenwriter and actors’ fault that you are male validation centered weirdo live your life miserably so you take it out female lead of romantic drama.

Rewatching the show, who would have thought cdrama quality would be so bad after 10 years
