How can the SML be considered worse than the ML?Yes, he has had several exes, and at first he seemed interested…
Borderline SA, Desperate, Controlling, Manipulative, Practically inserted himself into her FL life like a stalker. Cannot and will not take NO for an answer. Worst of all, actually started harassing FL after she rejected him.
Making a new account just to slut-shame FL for *checks notes* having an active dating life 😭
But wouldn’t you say she was a bit too friendly with SML all while knowing he likes her? She can’t exactly strike up a friendship with SML, he clearly wants more.
Also, her feelings for ML/her relationship with ML was quite fast tracked. She should’ve put up some boundaries with SML out of respect for ML. This whole “I like seeing you jealous so I’m gonna get friendly with other guys that LIKE ME” doesn’t really make sense.
And again, I’ll allude to the fact that how close FL gets with SML (despite knowing he has feelings for her while dating ML) is partly why SML thought he’ll replace ML and he’s starting being a grade-a jerk to ML
SML is a narcissist and a hypocrite whose a** should be jealous of his mouth cuz the amount of BS that comes out of it. The way he’s been awful to our ML is just plain awful
But, as some of you are correctly pointing out, FL behavior doesn’t help at all. This entire time she doesn’t draw boundaries with SML, and even staying close to him despite being fully aware of SML liking her. And she’s seems to be enjoying the attention SML too. No wonder she gets a bad rep. She is clearly giving SML false hope/ammunition for him to spew a bunch of nonsense at ML
i hate it when SML does some cheapest sh*t then does something bare minimum behaving almighty and redemption complete
Most “nice guy” SMLs will go along with FL and be echo chambers for them just to get a chance. And you’ll see people go crazy with “oh SML is such a green flag”. Also, these SML always act as a grade-a jerk to ML and never face any consequences
They’ll never challenge FL and point out whenever she’s doing something wrong like ML is doing now
It’s completely normal/appropriate for FL to react the way she did over a close friend.
It’s just the show failed to showcase that close bond between FL and SML. The writers simply didn’t do enough to convince us of their friendship. It didn’t help when they made SML have romantic feelings for FL the entire time. I mean you can’t really call it a friendship if one of you feel more. They definitely should’ve kept things between FL and SML vague. Like with Blossom
This is fiction. You can ship your ships. If that is FL with Ye Xian cuz you find Winwin attractive, so be it?? There is no need to play mental gymnastics.
We are over a third of the way through the drama and ML is more like a glorified guest character. Only shows up in the last two minutes of each episode in case we forget
The issue with SML having main role in a non-love-triangle-centric drama is that this character typically has no storyline aside from being one of FL’s love interest/suitor.
We already saw that in Sunbae Universe where entirety of SML screentime was him wooing FL and going on dates with her. And look how that turned out.
That said, we don’t have a small child for FL to have ML babysit so she can go on dates with SML unlike Sunbae Universe.
Your giving no follow up on your review is bad thing. So? How did it go for you?
We can agree to disagree. Although I strongly feel if ML isn’t in the picture and/or if ML character isn’t the main “male lead”, FL one hundred percent would’ve gotten together with SML.
Also, if you ever come across my comments on other dramas on this site, you’ll have a clearer picture on how I feel about delulu SMLs with their one sided love for FL and second lead syndrome itself - (Cheer Up 2022 e.g.)
Have some self-respect
Definitely can be considered worse than ML.

That definitely suggests the opposite of short-lived love triangle

Also, some yums do be yucky tho
Is he not just acting his age? Young enough to not know how to regulate his emotions so he often lash out? Or is there more nuance to his character?
EDIT : I personally think the actor is doing a good job portraying the character
We are over a third of the way through the drama and ML is more like a glorified guest character. Only shows up in the last two minutes of each episode in case we forget
How pathetic is that
Although I doubt SML will offer anything other than the guy that gets the short end in that love triangle
