Multiple romantic relationships ? πππ In the real world, this girl would only be a sexual toy for these…
While I do understand the correlation with one night stands and STDs, I must also point out that polyamory is not the same as sleeping around. That would be called an open relationship. Polyamory is about having more than one ROMANTIC partner, has nothing to do with casual sexual partners. Thus, a person in a poly relationship would take the same precautions before sleeping with their partner as any other person in a monogamous relationship would.

asia is huge, consisting of many countries with different cultures so i'm not sure how you are able to speak for the whole continent. poly people still exist in asia, even if maybe fewer than in the west. many countries in the world are still not accepting relationships that are not monogamous heterosexual couples. doesn't make the other couples wrong or unrealistic

@Jeeee it's unfortunate the negative view that you have on people, especially women, who desire to have multiple partners, either for romantic or sexual reasons. a woman can sleep or date multiple people if she so desires and if the other parties are consenting. your idea of a "normal man" is just what you perhaps want for yourself or what you've been raised up on believing is "normal". the norm can change from person to person. people live different lifestyles in this world

you say that in the drama the FL is toying with the MLs but irl women would be toys for men in this situation so where does that leave us? are women toys or are they the manipulators in this type of relationship? you do know that polyamorous people exist irl and people can be happy in a healthy poly relationship, no matter the gender, right?
We can't call it cheating but why get pissed and defend a liar, cheater and a manipulative woman taking advantage…
you're right, she cheated once which makes her a not-so-good person. i think that in the drama she wasn't punished properly for that, there should've been more repercussions because cheating is in fact horrible. do you believe in the saying that once a cheater, always a cheater?

i literally wrote that i'm not defending her for what she did to taeoh and jiho! it was wrong, it was cheating. if you think she's taking advantage of those men, then ok i can't say much to change your mind. but i think that she's living her best life and these men are dating a girl they love. at the end of the day, polyamory is a way of dating where consenting adults choose to love the way love. just like you might choose to love only one person at a time
she's not two timing, they're literally in a poly relationship
who's dating a liar? the endgame is jisoo and hyeonhoo, she never lied to him. he knows and consents to her dating someone else. i say i don't want to comment on the characters' potential toxicity and cowardice bc i believe everyone has their own definition of what that is. however, i will keep commenting on why i think how she dates doesn't always mean it's cheating
it seems that some of you are not understanding what polyamory is. polyamory is NOT cheating. cheating is the act of being unfaithful to your partner, meaning engaging in a romantic or sexual relationship with a person other than your significant other, without your significant other's knowledge and/or consent.
jisoo is polyamorous because she has the desire to have multiple romantic relationships at the same time. now, what she did with taeoh and jiho at first IS cheating, i will not excuse her behavior. she dated them both while both men thought they were in a monogamous relationship with jisoo. however, the moment she came clean and the men have accepted to continue dating her, knowing that she will keep seeing another man, is them consenting to be in a poly relationship.
to my understanding, jisoo broke up with them both because she wanted to stay true to herself. taeoh and jiho gave her the ultimatum that by the end she will have to choose only one of them. jisoo refuses to do so as it is not in her nature. she is poly; she wants to date multiple people. you could say in a way that taeoh and jiho did not accept that part of her. and they are allowed to not be ok with their partner seeing other people.
now for the case of hyeonhoo and jisoo, they ARE in a poly relationship. hyeonhoo has accepted that part of her and thus they start dating. the way they date is pretty much their business since they are consenting adults in a relationship. if you don't like it, that's ok but don't go around calling it cheating when it's not. also if hyeonhoo happened to be poly, he could very well date other people too if he wanted to. polyamory literally has nothing to do with gender.

never said she didn't cheat at first. indeed dating both men behind their back at first was very much cheating on her part. however, the moment the men became aware of her doing so and still allowed it, it isn't cheating anymore; they are taking part in a poly relationship. i won't comment on the toxicity of the relationship or if the men are cowards for dating her but all i have to say is that the endgame where she dates her best friend and another man is NOT cheating. both men are aware of each other's existence and have accepted her poly ways.

if the storytelling, acting and quality are similar in the other stories, this might just be one of gmmtvβs best series
