HJP lacks the basic sense of empathy and consideration for others because nobody really cared for him when he was young. He needs to see a shrink or find a younger version of Grandma for himself. He Can be with Grandma if he doesn't.

Dal Mi is not the one for him. She doesn't like people who are hard outside and soft inside. She has no time digging them out of their shell before she can have a conversation with them.

She likes people who are soft outside and strong inside to love and support her openly and exchange with her in the long run. This is why she likes Do San. She and Do San are a match made in heaven.

Nope. So far I am very satisfied. Not like some people with heavy SLS who rage quit already or went on a writen pamphlet to make Do San look like the worst ML ever and say how much he is bad and undeserving and Ji Pyeong should be ML as he is such a great person. lol. It's just a drama so I find this kind of bias very funny.

People who only see what they want to see are bound to be disappointed. Some are already very salty here...

He got locked with Grandma and HJP in a cycle of more and more lies. But it was not his intention at first. He did not intent to lie to her. He just wanted her to have face and feel happy in front of her sister that day only.

Ji Pyeong did not tell the truth about why Do San went to the Networking party. He purposely said SST needed investment and he made it look like Do San took money for going to the party and then he said it was before his feelings became real. Basically HJP made Dal Mi swallow a lie with a candy.

You could not expect Do San to go to the networking party and tell her the whole story he just heard from HJP so that there is no lie anymore. He could only be sincere in helping her.

Do San did it with Sincerity. He sincerely wanted to sell his baseball ball to her and he sincerely wanted to go to help her at the networking party even if he had no suit, no plan, no idea of where he was going to put his feet.

HJP did all this to repay Grandma's kindness to him.

No. Do San did not approach Dal Mi because he needed investment. He needed money for SST and sold some belongings to anyone who would purchase. Dal Mi is the one who approached him knowing from the ad. his name was Nam Do San. Their meeting in the park failed because HJP went to stick his nose in their business.

Later, HJP went to ask NDS to help with Dal Mi at the networking party. He proposed to give money in exchange and Yong San and Chul San wanted money but Do San changed it and asked HJP to enter Sand Box in exchange. The deal fell through and Do San went to the party on his own with no reward expected but only to meet and help the way he could that girl in the park.

Saying that Do San approached Dal Mi because he needed investment is not true. That's just the lie that Ji Pyeong made Dal Mi believe when she asked him about why Do San went to the Networking party.

Do San is the guy who makes her heart flutters. He is nice, caring, supportive of her. He is her source of energy and courage. They will mend their relationship, get to know each other even better and grow their company SST to become successful.

HJP is not perfect. Far from it. The way he tried to piss Do San off with her scrunchie or the fact that he confessed to her knowing they are together just shows the guy has no consideration for both of them. In real life, doing this to Do San or to any other guy in a low with his gf, I think he would have been good for a free tour to the hospital. He is lucky Do San is Mr Nice guy and did not even react when he went to tease him like the jerk he is.

HJP has a great job, an appartment, a car, a watch which is worth the price of the car... but he has no friends. Do San would not trade Dal Mi or one of his friend for Ji Pyeong's wealth. The guy has social relationship issues. He can't make himself be truly likeable. He wants someone like Grandma, to give him love and affection when he behaves haughty, harsh, inconsiderate with people for his own fun.

It is not a matter of deserving Dal Mi or not. Dal Mi chooses with her heart. She chose Do San because his true self and qualities suit her. She did not choose Ji Pyeong because his persona is great but deep inside he is just not the kind of person she likes.

If the purpose was to say it to her like he is telling the weather forecast and everything is ok for both of them, he should not have done it. He should not have confessed. The timing was not good. She was still in the daze of the lies. The manner was not good, he basically imposed himself on her to tell his words. He was in the middle of explaining and she expected explanations not a confession . Couldn't he put himself in her shoes? Why confess at that time? He knows she has a boyfriend that she likes. Why confess when he is talking things which involve her boyfriend that he knows personally? He has no respect for him ? Can't he let them sort things out first? And he was afraid to be turned down? Weird. HJP really looked like a tactless weirdo.

You just don't do this kind of confession. It's disrespectful of her, of Do San and even of himself. A proper man should not do that.

When you look at his confession, he assumes she doesn't like him and he has lost already but he is so strong and cool, he can deal with it fingers in the nose.

I don't think this kind of message makes a girl weak on her knees for a boy, especially if another boy makes her heart flutter already. If this is his best, I don't give him any chance.

No when they went to the house to keep the act, they did not expect HJP to make them enter Sand box. NDS just said the lie about him being a hotshot CEO would not be a lie anymore if they enter Sand Box. Then they won CODA and applied to enter Sand Box. It had nothing to do with HJP.

The way you understand HJP is based a lot on your assumptions. I hope you won't be too disappointed.

Again you don't need to be rich and money magically pouring to live well. He just did not care to see her or take news about her. The fact that he yelled at her for not contacting him says it all.

I was just saying if she has broken the rules to take care of him why he did not break the rules to take care of her and stayed silent for 15 years?

It i snot in ep1 . It is in episode 2 when Grandma goes to ask him to find Do San. He asks for Dal Mi's name because he doesn't remember it . You saying he pretended he forgot is a speculation.

You have the right to see it the way you want but to see things against HJP's own words will lead you to be disappointed like many here.

For real! He declared his feelings to her like he has been biten by a mosquito and she doesn't have to worry he will apply some medicine on it... It is almost like she doesn't need to be sorry he will get a cure soon.

She doesn't seem to have feelings for him. She will most likely spend the next episodes mending things with Do San and discovering the real him. Ji Pyeong doesn't even take his feelings seriously.

Ji Pyeong sank his own ship with his confession. The way he did it. In the post credit scene, he knows he did it the wrong way. Acting all cool while telling a girl you like her...? It just made it look like it is a small issue he has to deal with. How can she find this sincere?

I write it to exchange opinion but people are free to read it or not. No harm done. Peace.

Things were pretty toxic on the Last Empress with the writing and how things turned out to the point CJH went in conflict with the production and they just killed his character off out of the blue. I surely hope this will not happen in this drama.

SDM has never shown any sign of interest for HJ¨P. As kids, she met him once and told him to go away. As adult, she is a mentee and he is her mentor but it does not go beyond that. She bluntly said to him she had the wrong idea that maybe he likes her. That was a way to say she does not like him. When he confessed, he was mixing noodles??! She can't fall for that.

SDM will not end up with HJP. He has not the warmth she wants from a boyfriend. Storytelling wise, people would not undertand why she ends up with him after so many skinship with NDS and not a glimpse of romance between her and HJP. Suzy and Kim Seon Ho would also take a lot of bashing. As for an open ending, it is possible ... but still not with HJP.

I am not badmouthing HJP, I am just giving my understanding and my opinion of the character and the situations he is in. I can see that many people have a different opinion from mine but I can also see that these people are salty now. lol.

Money was not the reason why Do San went to the night event. Ji Pyeong had absolutely no reason to bring money in his explanation. He was the one who proposed money and if Yong San and Chul San wanted it, the final offer of SST was to enter Sandbox instead. Ji Pyong introduced the money issue and led Dal Mi to think Do San took money for it.

Young Ji Pyeong never showed any sign of happiness or pleasure when writing or receiving the letters. You say he won't admit he liked it but this is a speculation from your part only. You are bound to be disappointed like all the ones who saw things that were not shown.

You can rewatch NDS and SDM in the park when their eyes met. At that moment, the time was suspended and HJP¨s ship sank already.

I don't hate HJP. I just think it is too bad to project things on him to feed the idea that he is Dal Mi's special childhood friend and now they can be reunited again. It is really not the case.
