I don't think it will be forced because their connection is undeniable, but it could definitely be underwhelming
I understand your point, but I still disagree. She does love him, and you can see it in her eyes from several episodes ago. What she is, is immature which is why she didn't think it would be a problem to interact and even go on a date with the team leader. That and that she grew comfortably having our uncle at home as her safe space.
Yes, it was rude, and we all agree that it hurst our uncle, but the reality is that she is just a pushover with a team leader constantly taking advantage of that and a fading old connection.
If you pay close attention, every interaction between our aunt and the team leader creates more distance between them; the more he pushes the more obvious how uncomfortable she is, but she is trapped between kindness, respect and pressure from others. She treats him as her superior and cannot even sustain eye contact with him.
This does not mean that I don't criticize her faults and that putting distance with her team leader is long overdue, which is why even her co workers think that they are dating at the realization that he is always attached to her like a parasite.
The main leads deserve each other, but they are both flawed. Our uncle is a pessimist now doing the annoying noble sacrifice and giving up, while our aunt feels helpless and pushed around, but stays complacent instead of following her heart, and what's best for her and her nephew.
awh hell nah, why is second ml having more romantic scenes n screen time than our ML. And why is FL so indecisive-…
I feel like FL and ML have more romantic moments, but the problem is that their moments are simpler, while SML efforts while hollow and unfulfilling get too much spark.
bro its ep 9 and i still barely get to see the mains together, sigh this is bothering me
I don't feel too bad about this episode because most of the episode was about our uncle and his struggles for most of the episode, while our aunt is finally starting to show that she is not happy with the team leader around, just complacent (which should have happened one or two episodes ago)
I agree, but it seems like the priority next episode will be to continue to develop her feelings for our uncle with the distance between them while the team leader tries to take even more of her time and her space, and like he did on episode 9, she will drift in though for our uncle and he will notice and will try to forcefully pull her to his bubble which will only delay her finally either just keeping things only professional with the team leader and/or confess to our uncle even if it is at last seconds of next episode at the airport
She is feeling his absence, and will continue to feel his absence even with the Team Leader trying to replace him. There are few things that could be the turning point for their relationship, and this three things could happen together or not.
The most obvious because of the preview is that because of his departure she goes to the airport to try to stop him or that he turns back and decides to get his new family back.
The second is not likely, but that she goes on the third date after the Team Leader continues to play replacement for our uncle, and that she realizes that our uncle cannot be replaced for her nephew and in her heart.
And, the third that must happen eventually to make her finally do something for him, is that she either has to find out the reason why he is leaving which is to sacrifice himself for his new family, like his brother did and/or (what would kill two birds with one stone) that she finds out that the team leader is not that good of a person, and that he pushed our uncle away to take his place.
I wish I was the writer to write something better... but no, I just decided to stop complaining about the love triangle and just enjoy what I can, like "Our Uncle".
I skipped most of the episode looking for Tae Hyeong, parts
For the first time, I watched everything without skipping and everything makes sense to me now. Some parts are still annoying, and the setup is taking too long, but I can see what they are trying to pull with her choosing her heart and not what looks more convenient. However, we go back to the original problem where the plot should not be about the love triangle.
Like what is FL's problem! Why is she letting all this happen when she obviously doesn't want any of this to actually…
After watching episode 9 and paying attention to all details, she still looks uncomfortable with SML, but seems helpless. She doesn't even look confused to me, she looks defeated, like there is nothing she can do about it.
I think episode 9 is one of the best episodes in the show so far
We finally get some well deserved attention to Tae Hyeong! Our favorite uncle finally finds the truth about his bother's sacrifice for him and sad reality of what his father did. He is conflicted and like his brother is willing to sacrifice his happiness for the people he cared about. I have no doubt that after all of the efforts of the writers to show how his life has been miserable until now, things will look better for him soon now that he has touched bottom. I am looking forward to what will happen to "Our Uncle" in the next episode.
I made my mind. While others whatch our sunbae, I'll watch Our Tae Hyeong, and will either skip, fast forward or just not pay attention or importance to that dumb love triangle anymore. I am a sucker for the main couple getting together, but whatever happens from here, I just want Our Uncle to get his happy ending.
That ML actually leaves for USA, and then there is a timeskip, and during that time skip thanks to FL being a…
I don't think we will be that lucky. I think that of we are patient and watch one more episode we will see the main couple living together again, and maybe, just maybe, FL will keep things professional with SML, but even then, she won't directly reject him trying to be kind... so not even the white truck will come to save us this time...
Like what is FL's problem! Why is she letting all this happen when she obviously doesn't want any of this to actually…
Episode 9, like every other episode shows that she prefers ML, but takes him from granted, and while she doesn't really have feelings for SML she just let him do whatever he wants which makes him think that he has the right to do these things and keeps pushing and pushing. The problem is until when? until she is married with three kids, having to treat her nephew like an outsider in the future and full of regrets? What's more frustrating that everything else is her inability to say no and put some space with SML...
That ML actually leaves for USA, and then there is a timeskip, and during that time skip thanks to FL being a pushover she entered a superficial and hollow relationship with SML where only he is happy while she is being destroyed inside every day only to encounter ML years after and only then after even almost getting married to SML she turns to ML after his life has a new direction and he is finally leaving his trauma behind, to, of course, decide to throw all his progress to the garbage to rescue her from her own consequences... now, that would be frustrating and extremely sad... and even then, she wouldn't know how to say no to SML who takes 3 inches every time he is given one... LOL
