Shitty move from the FML lol. Don't get me wrong. Her actions were totally understandable if you look at it in a different angle but that doesn't excuse that what she did was a total letdown and a bitch move.
She's totally stuck in her past relationship wherein she can't fathom and come to a complete understanding and acceptance that the ML is just that.
Her monologue explained why she did that—she's not strong enough to accept the ML for who he currently is. A man built by the amalgamation of his lived experiences—strong, decisive, dependable, transparent, and understanding.
I hate the fact that I actually get why the FML did those unacceptable actions, it makes sense psychologically, which only makes it more frustrating to watch. But come on now, how many dramas and movies have done this same tired routine? We always get the sad, crying FML whose emotional damage is used to excuse her behavior, while the ML is expected to have infinite patience and "save" her with his understanding.
It’s exhausting to watch because it turns his maturity into a cushion for her insecurities instead of forcing her to actually grow. He is being completely open, laying all his cards on the table, and she’s treating his transparency like a threat because she’s too terrified to move past her ex. It makes her incredibly hard to root for. We’re supposed to sympathize with her tears, but at a certain point, she’s just using her past as a shield to avoid doing the hard personal work of healing.
But honestly, maybe I'm judging her too harshly here, because ultimately this is a romcom, and we have to trust the rhythm of the genre. The show isn't trying to punish her; it's showing the slow, sometimes painful process of a tired corporate worker learning to trust someone after being burned. Her defensiveness is a temporary shield, not a permanent character flaw. Once she realizes that Si-woo's transparency is a safe harbor rather than another trap, she’ll drop her guard. Real healing is rarely a straight line, and sometimes we just have to laugh at how dramatic we get when we're finally handed the genuine happiness we’ve been waiting for.
Yes, I'm not frustrated anymore and I know I am overly harsh since it probably just mirrored reality kek. Anyways, I calmed down after writing this long ass commentary lmao. This is a good show. Waiting for the next ep 😁.
Absolutely check and read the reviews, everyone. Especially the most recent ones. Those reviews will literally save you—your sanity, your time, and your understanding. Please do so and good luck 🤞. May I never stumble upon another bastardous of a trash trapped in a vacuum of rotten puke of an epitome garbage of a garbage son of trash.
My lowest rating out of hundreds of episodes borderline a thousand is 7.5! Gotta do some cleansing, oh god.
