SML has never even for once felt something for SFL. FL has been on his mind since the last 11 episodes. He has constantly told SFL that he is not interested in her. But the writers have even butchered her character. I mean a single independent rich pretty girl, blind in love with a single father, who doesn't even like her back, doesn't make sense. I am completely okay by his rejection, he can choose to be with someone he likes.
But then why would they show such a beautiful relation between Jun and SFL, why go through all the hug, drunk, carrying on the back, even a kiss scene to get to this. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
For sure, the second leads should not end up together. Self love is the most important thing. But they have made SFL so clingy, I don't see her moving on from this. Just like SML thought he can be the only one in FL's life, SFL also thinks that SML would come to her after rejection, and she would accept him. SML actually does not do that, that's the only thing I liked about him.
I feel the writer butchered the second leads unnecessarily.

I really don't understand why the writer took such a route with the second leads. The SML has been saying since the last 11 episodes, that he is not interested in SFL. It doesn't matter if he gets Da-rim or not, he is simply not interested in her. She should leave him now, she will get someone way better than him.

Why should she adopt Jun? She can find someone who treats her better and have babies with him. Jun has a father. He should bring him up alone.

I agree to your views, but the SFL has been treating herself as a doormat herself. It feels the minute SML comes to her, leaving Darim, she would accept him back. I love how she is straight forward. But it would have been better if after confessing her love, she would leave so that SML crawls back to her. I don't want the SML or even her to treat herself like that.
About SML he deserves no one currently!

Exactly!

The writer did bad to them and to us here! SFL also has some issues. She genuinely enjoyed that SML confessed his love to FL and now waits for him to be rejected, so that he comes to her. Like girl why are you treating yourself as an option? It seems she would accept him the second he comes to her! They had so much chemistry in the first 2 episodes, its completely ruined now.
Huhh, lets see how they end it, honestly the assistant of ML and the other woman in the team served me better, than these two!

Right.

Like I am so angry on the writer for this weird complication. It was so unnecessary. I really liked the interactions between SFL and ML , as well as between SML and FL in the first two episodes. I thought yes finally something different. Friends of opposite genders falling in love with another set of friends of opposite genders. But no, they had to bring the love triangle, square and ruin it.
But yeah I get you! The fact that SML is not a bad person, makes me feel bad too. Like bro you could be so happy. You got divorced, raised a child alone, you could finally be happy with SFL, then why did you suddenly realized your previously non-existent feelings for your childhood bestfriend.

Except FL, the other 3 have been acting as losers in love. So maybe deep love makes your self worth less for them. But I just think both SFL and SML have similar characteristics, while SML is getting hate for doing it to the FL, no one cares what SFL does because its not the ML she is doing it to.

I don't think he misunderstood his feelings. He is not a bad person so he cares for SFL, when she fell in front of him. He might not have noticed Darim at that point. So many episodes into, with him acting jealous, following them into throwing garbage, picnic, offering to sell his studio to pay off bills, so many things cannot be misunderstood feelings. He genuinely likes her. And there is no time to get over it and fall for SFL. Its better they stay as friends, with just a tiny hope for future which can be indicated, unless the story takes a leap.

He is an idiot, she is a doormat, love did blind eyes of both of them. Its like if the SML would have sorted his feelings by ep 5, and then began to like SFL, I would have understood. But its ep 10, and SML still wants FL, and SFL is happy because she thinks he would be rejected, and will have no other option than her. Like she is treating herself as an option.

Not a fan of the character of SML, but why would he get the criticism all alone? He is going after someone who doesn't like him back, just like SFL. SFL clearly knows he doesn't love her, why is she being a doormat? People just like her because she is not after ML, if she would be doing the same thing with the ML what she is doing with SML, people would have bashed her just like they are bashing SML.
Personally no hate to SFL, I really like her, but both SFL and SML are kind of doing the same thing.
I am really upset about the entire love square thing. The SML and SFL really had a good chemistry and they could just fall for each other. I would have loved if SML and FL bonded just like siblings-friends. It would be so much better! I don't even want SML and SFL to end up together now!

Ahaaa! Best epilogue ever!

We survived the Great War! Happiness from now onwards. Kiss at least 10 times in the last 4 episodes for my sanity!

No!

Okay, I wanted to wait till the entire kiss scene happened, it was cut off mid in the last episode, to be shown today. Someone commented here, that it was a sexual assault. I refused to believe that and hence waited to see today's episode to understand the scene. I saw the entire scene today in X, as few scenes are already released. NO it was NOT forced. ML kissed her, she was shocked. She then held him and kissed him back. When she kisses him back, the entire FORCED allegation, stands vague.
Then she remembered that ML has a would-be-wife, whom she saw with ML that day, in a strange position and she misunderstood them to be kissing. So she pushed him! She did not push him because she did not like him back or because she did not want the kiss, she pushed him because she does not want to be a third person in a relationship.

I don't know which dramas you watch, but all the SMLs even after knowing that FL have no interest in them, confess their love, coerce them to love them, point out the flaws in ML, do everything to gain their love. Here the SML did nothing. For me it felt like, he loves her, but he is happy to see her happy with the ML. Yes he knew he would be rejected, all the SMLs know they would be rejected, people still try. Here SML did not. He was happy to be her friend only.
I think SML left for law school later. For me it felt like, the hug was the last thing that SML did in love. After that he would try to let go off his feelings and move on. It was not inappropriate, because FL did not feel so. Even for the viewers, like I think you are the only one whom I spoke to have this opinion. The hug really felt sweet. At the end of the day, he loved her, she did not. Why did a hug piss you off so much?
Even the ML knew SML loved FL. But he knew SML was a nice person. Did he say something? He was not even jealous, angry. He still considered him a friend. Because even before love, all the three of them were good friends, who wanted good for each other.
But yeah okay I get your point. I for sure wouldn't change my perspective and you wouldn't change yours. So its okay. Lets agree to disagree and move on.

Feelings are not like a switch. You cannot turn it on or off! He knew leads were in love and that is why he never proposed his love to FL. He never tried to instigate, manipulate FL against ML. He was a good friend to both of them, as they were to him.
It was a picture of their shadows, no it was not creepy, even ML knew and he did not find it creepy. He was in love, he was sad, he just took a picture. I actually thought it was beautiful. It was such a sweet moment of love. He would glance at her shadow picture if he missed her, it was such a sweet gesture.
A hug? Since when a hug is a problem. It was not like a friends hug. It was more like a goodbye hug, as if he was letting go of his feelings finally. Was the FL uncomfortable with the hug? No! Then how was it crossing the line. He loved her, he desired her hence, but did he act on it, did he do anything to create problems between the leads, he did not even confess. For me, he was the most normal one sided lovers ever in the history of kdramas! You can have your perspective though!

Its a romcom at the end of the day. Don't worry, I think they will wrap this up by next week, and we will have 4 episodes of happy dating!

Yeah at that time I had not seen today's episode. I just saw the preview, so it felt like a love confession scene. I did write a comment later here as well after seeing today's episode. Now I think she would confess the truth which he already knows during the rain sequence. I honestly want her to go behind the ML, asking for forgiveness because poor ML was tormented by her. So maybe not the kiss in that scene, but the rain and them looked so pretty so maybe my heart wants it, because as viewers we have been tormented as well for a few episodes.
