Indeed. It makes no sense.

Thank you for considering my previous comment! :)

We can only hope ...

Oh... and this is a 12 episodes drama, not 20

Funny how you disqualy rating the show low because people don't like it when that's the whole point of rating... it would be bad if someone likes it, but still rage this low, but if people don't like something for any reason, then they are justified.

I find it hard to believe that this guy would have no objections on wanting to be in a relationship with FL even when she is the guardian of a kid now. If dramas have shown me something is that single people usually run away from divorced people or people with kids like they have the plague or something, but suddenly this guy is willing to become a step father for a girl that he flirted with 7 years ago...

💯

That's what I've observed. We have seen this trope before, and we know what the result will be, since being able to experience the illusion with all the restrictions it carries including that she has to pretend in order to fit that illusion and about to face how it feels to lose what fills her heart and brings her comfort should move things along, but I still hope that things move quickly in their relationship, since the father issues, raising the baby and their careers alone should be more than enough to carry the last 4 episodes without the need of extending the love triangle anymore.

I agree with you. It is obvious that FL likes ML, which makes it even more of a nuisance that she went on that date because it felt superficial at best

Instead of behaving like a lost teenager trapped in the expectations of the past, she should have found herself having to grow up now that she is a mother figure and reject the advances of SML and even ML because she doesn't have time for dating, but for work and taking care/providing for her now son. They could have had the other guy trying but her keeping her distance while slowly falling for ML, while still not opening up completely because raising the kid is more important until she figures out that she can be a great mother figure and love ML, because he is the father figure in this family anyway...

If the writers were smart enough, and wanted to drag the main leads getting together too early, I have a better suggestion than the stupid love triangle...

Let's hope that this one can become a no break up gem!

Yes, it was extremely easy to either leave the love triangle out, or close it in two to three episodes with a bit of character development for FL instead of this continuous mess that could live us with a classic only the last 5 minutes happy ending...

Yes, she has been in Lala Land from the moment she met SML again. She even denied the kid's existence to appear single and available, followed by spending most of her time working away from home and with SML, and allowing this stranger to introduce himself in the life of a vulnerable kid that needs care and most definitely not a weird guy playing nice only because he wants a piece of the cake...

I agree on your analysis of ML. He is depicted as the better healthier option because he is willing to wait and give her space, but the problem is that the girl is a pushover and the other guy is person with bad intentions taking advantage of her, so the girl must snap out of it, but ML also has to wake up and value himself more, and if he wants the girl, go for the girl.

I was never going to be able to watch that because Love Triangles are just for masochists...

These writers are just lazy, and try to keep selling the actors visuals for people that only watch dramas to see beautiful people instead of immersing themselves in the story and enjoy the true love coming true between two people, which is the main thing for a romance, for the main couple to be together, and there is whatever plot is chosen to give something to open, develop and conclude to a story that again is ultimately about the main couple getting together and getting their happy ever after, what otherwise would be a sad ending or a completely different genre.

Well, not for me. I don't like love triangles, but like other tropes and cliches, some stories allow them and they can even serve some purpose like helping the main characters realize that they like each other through jealousy, character development, plot device and more, but more times than what it needs to be, it is used to just introduce angst to the story and drag the whole main couple getting together. I can see how a love triangle can work towards character development in this one, since FL needs to learn how to stop being a pushover and also needs to learn what true love is versus a 7 year old crush and just following the expectations of what she called herself a perfect guy at the cost of hurting the one that really cares for her and herself by giving away her soul, since she looks happy on the outside when interacting with SML, but cannot even be herself because she doesn't feel comfortable with the intruder. All this to say that I understand the love triangle, but what I don't understand is why they made the love triangle here to almost become the main plot and last for so long in a story with an actual plot and where the FL's character development should be showing improvement by now, which means that the love triangle ultimately has failed bringing the main couple together, developing FL or adding anything at all to the plot.

I insist that this is a weird way to bring some very unhealthy fantasies to life. This is not cute, but selfish for girls to wish for the super perfect two or more perfect bachelors that would fight to death for her, or wait a whole live regardless on how they could literally be with any other girl usually with better attributes because these girls in the love triangles are always as simple and as basic as they can be, and that's on purpose. However, this is a horrible fantasy, because the men feelings are not important, and this drama is a perfect example, since she obviously likes ML, but somehow she just decides to disregard his confession while whishing to keep his attention, his ear and his help while she explores and allows the advances of another guy at the cost of opening all kind of wounds for someone that was abandoned and has been honest. The point is that Love Triangle are cruel and say too many times serve no real purpose for these stores.

I don't think it is, but I also think that it is still redeemable. The girl going on a date with the guy and letting him do whatever he wants was the last drop, but there is still hope. The problem is that things need to start changing towards the main couple like right now, or their romance will just be a disaster.
