He paused in between for a little while. He couldn't say he was in love. Exactly he is the one who is unable to draw the line here, not her! He did not want to fall in love with a fan I think, like not fall in love with a person who liked him for his idol image, and not his real self, again, because this has been happening since he was a child! No one liked the real him! She made him believe she trusted him, the real him, she wasn't a fan, that's why he is upset, not knowing, that Sena though is a fan, trusted the real him too! This is what I felt seeing the preview! Now yes, the episode would give more clarity.

Honestly it feels that he is in love with her, and he thought he could have this relationship with a person who knows him/believes in him for the real person he is, and not someone who knew him in an idol image. He seems less angry more upset on the fact that even Sena only likes the idol personality of Ra-ik, just like everyone (which is not true, but...)
Hopefully they will reunite soon!

Right!

Yes yes I saw this today!!

Yes same!

2 episodes angst in a 12 episodes drama would be a lot! Hoping they break the breakup in episode 8 only! Otherwise all love, happiness would be 2 weeks away! Oh my God!

Absolutely! Its one of the weirdest relationships I have ever seen in kdramas. Then the girl went on to say they dated for 10 years! Nothing was normal about them!

Okay I saw stills in X from upcoming episodes, not sure its ep 7-8, 9-10 or 11-12. But leads seemed to be on a date ! Now I don't think they would release pictures from 11-12, it would be too soon. I hope its from ep 8. So guys there is light at the end of the tunnel! I feel they will not stretch the misunderstanding for a long time.

Its the same pictures journalist gave to ML, which FL found out it seems at his house and burst out. She even said " was it fun for you, knowing everything I did behind you back and pretending like you didn't know anything". When he saw the pictures given by the journalist, he realized she was cheating, still wanted to protect her. So signed a bad contract, and hence was also pressured to deny it to the public. I think that's why he even started ignoring her, so she even said that I was always here, you weren't, because he was ignoring her seemingly due to her cheating pictures. Because I clearly remembered Ra-ik saying I did not do anything wrong to the ceo, manager, journalist, wanting to accept his dating, but when the journalist showed pictures, he then agreed to deny it.
That flat scene seemed the last thing that happened! The girl left and then came just few days back before the murder.

Oh my God, that stupid idiot! Like he became a really bad friend! That was so unnecessary! I never understood why the writers took up that dynamic there! Huhh! Hoping for this friendship to survive!

You are forgetting the childhood connection here! You admire Taecyeon, but he is not the one who saved you from a suicide attempt, gave hope to you in the lowest moment of your life! Plus this is real life, you're a normal mature adult! Ra-ik was more than an idol to Sena, he was the only person she loved, she did not have anyone else! Yes its weird to cry over that for 3 days, but she was not someone with a normal background. She was so alone, Ra-Ik was the only person in her life whom she loved. Plus she was young at that point! The incident was years back.
She is way better now, she was welcoming towards Ra-Ik's ex, did not ask him what they spoke about, keeps her distance from her favourite idol even in her home! She even said he is a human so he can date! She matured from that! She even explained those obsessive fans who entered his flat in such a nice way. So the show also wanted to showcase her development maybe!

Many SMLs did that, we don't know what he will do. If he takes that opportunity to tell her he loves her, and he is there for her, its not wrong! He did not break the pair up! If they go away from each other, there is no problem if he confesses his love. The fact is there are numerous times in other dramas, if ML pursues her, when FL is dealing with a bad ex, people become happy that finally FL would understand who really loves her, here if SML does that, that's not bad!
SML likes her. He can tell her that, anytime he likes. He has been with her since childhood, if he wants to confess his love, he should. But after rejection, if he still pursues her, manipulates her against the ML, saying wrong things, that would be bad! Otherwise if he sees ML left her, she is alone, and he confesses, I see nothing wrong in it, from a perspective of a one sided love. But he should take the rejection well.
Again, I highly doubt its the case. FL kinds of know SML likes her, its pretty evident, like she isn't that dumb. SML worries for her, but he knows FL is in love with ML since forever, so I highly doubt he will confess. Honestly I really don't want him to confess. They should be besties forever. I am just saying if he chooses to confess, faces rejection, and then accepts it properly, I wouldn't say he is a bad person. But if he does things, you said other SMLs also do, then for sure he would be bad! But we have to wait and see for that to happen. My perception is entirely for the 6 episodes released, and the preview of 7th episode!

I think you're reading the scene wrong! Yes guy has feelings for her! But he has always been a good friend! There are many SML's who do bad, I don't know what he will do in upcoming episodes. But he has always liked the FL. ML came, he did not say anything. So when ML fires her, goes away, if he confesses his feelings, how is that shamelessness? That's the right opportunity! Any person would think about their priority first, rather than anything else! Plus when he knows that how much FL did for him, and what Ra-Ik did was just leave her (maybe its not that, but honestly from SML's view, it would be like that)
Again, even if not love, a good friend can be worried about his friend. Holding hands isn't a big deal, considering they grew up together, so for sure he knows her the best, even though he never said anything like this to the ML.
Again this is coming from someone who does not have second lead syndrome. I am not shipping FL with him. I just want him to be a good friend, and want FL and ML to be together.
This is just my perception, but till now SML has done nothing to see him as a bad friend, or be shameless. What the kdrama makers ought to do is stop bringing one sided love in all friendships, and let some friends be just friends!

She cheated first. Remember when the journalist, CEO, manager and Ra-Ik were in the meeting, and Ra-Ik said he did not do anything wrong (the whole dating part), then journalist showed him photos of Hye Joo, with other men, threatening he will write an article, ruining both of them. Then he signed a bad contract, and also denied his relationship with her! She cheated first, then the entire thing happened!

Pro Bono team doesn't deserve him tbh! Like I don't really understand what did he do so wrong. Unless Gi Ppeum had a strategy or plan with him to act in this way, I really don't want them to become a team later!

Yes guy wasn't bad, but I don't think ML has the intelligence to understand so much. He might think even his friend betrayed him! I hope he comes around though.

More than anger, I think he is upset by the fact that even FL likes the idol in him, not his real self! He is devastated, no one actually likes him, but I think he thought FL could like the real him, trusted the real him!
I think they will solve it soon in 1-2 episodes. His character from the very start has been a little dumb, so I get it.

Yes, he finds out, asks her to explain, and the episode ends. Rest next week!

MSN had thousands of moments when she could easily tell him the truth! He was really calm with her! He asked about her numerous times, she took him to see the advertising board where still there are supporters who support the entire group. She should have told him honestly, especially knowing she is the only one he trusted.
His dead friend wanted him to join another company? Ra-Ik is going to be devastated if he feels his friend cheated him too, and now even the FL.
Though I think they would not stretch this, by next week it seems he would understand! Its the middle of the drama, so they did right by making ML realize the truth by now. The pace seems correct.

Yeah she is good!
