I def side eye her for demanding her boyfriend not even look at his costar during press tours, but at the same time that's between the two of them like we all got hangups and she was clearly just super insecure and didn't know how else to handle it. Meanwhile guys can actually commit crimes but they're the "misunderstood" ones.

He struggled when he was younger in roles, he was not a good actor overall, but he improved over time and got a lot of praise for 25-21 for his acting but hasn't been in much since then so people aren't wrong in hoping but not being sure he will be good.

I'm a feminist too but this is literally the first comment I've seen criticizing the FL and not the ML sooooo

When K drama scriptwriters can handle more than 8 eps without the story falling apart then we can have more than this. Even 12 seems like too much for them these days.

Lolll I love the stream of consciousness.

Tbh I think he's just as anxious and damaged as her , he's just better at supressing it all. He also avoids conflict and keeps his feelings too much to himself-- people seem to be forgetting the reason she is feeling anxious is because he wasn't honest about meeting with his ex wife mutliple times and then lying about it once, she seemed to be handling it fine before that. That's on him. He could have at least told her that he had to meet to discuss something private about her family that he didn't feel like he could share, but he tries too hard to not upset her in any way and it makes things worse by him not being honest.

They both need to just stop trying to be what they think the other person needs them to be and instead just allow themselves and the other person to be angry or jealous or upset sometimes. Like if you just tell the other person how you're feeling you can work through issues in like 3 mins, and that's what happens every time they are actually honest, but neither of them can trust enough to do it consistently.

I'm jealous of all of you here who don't suffer from anxiety because I relate to the FL sooo much and I know so many others who are like this. Just be grateful you can't empathize cause it means your life is a lot less stressful than others

Idk I actually think if she can learn to lean on his stability instead of fear it then she can work through her issues, but she's too afraid to be the one who relies on the other more in the relationship, and too afraid to fully trust him. There is always one person in a relationships who needs more than the other at times, and one who is in the more vulnerable position, and that shifts back and forth depending on what's going on. And if he is fine being the anchor for her for a little while she moves through some of this stuff they can come out on the other side stable and stronger, and she can be the one he leans on, too.

What I love most is there is always a reason they don't tell the other person something in this drama, even if it's not the healthiest choice, instead of there being misunderstandings for no reason. I relate to the urge to avoid conflict or put off saying something you think will upset or hurt the other person, thinking "I'll tell them a little later". This kind of thing happens SO much in all kinds of relationships.

THIS. I related to her so much, I've been her at times, I've been the one on the other side at times, it's so realistic.

Man I feel like Yi Joon both does and doesnt have self awareness. I feel like she's so self aware about some things but is also constantly trying to make herself feel differently than she feels.

The only way it will work is if she starts being honest with him and herself, and if she can't then they need to separate until she can .

The second lead couple is GIVING. That scene where he stared at her with tears in his eyes like he couldn't believe how lucky he was was so moving to me. It's nice to have these two to be happy for while the leads are struggling.

This drama is so refreshingly realistic for a change-- no huge trauma or episodes of separation cause of a misunderstanding , just two normal, flawed people trying to make things work. They are not gonna be happy together until they both own up to their own feelings and needs instead of trying to be whatever they think the other person needs them to be. Def looking forward to them working things out tho and growing .

This is the first time I actually don't mind having the love triangle? It's used in a natural way that enriches the story--getting back together with him was never a real option for her and he's not really causing the issues between them, he's just highlighting the stuff she hasn't fully worked through. Same with Si Woo's ex wife.

Idk I guess being in my 30s and having experienced a lot of different types of relationships I just relate to so much in this drama.

Her whole issue is that she can't actually be honest with herself about how she feels about things cause she gets too attached to whatever ideal she has in her head of how she wants things to be (including herself). That's what she needs to learn to overcome if she's ever going to be happy. It doesn't make her immature, it just makes her human. She holds back a lot out of fear, which is why she didn't ask about the divorce and why she pretended like she was fine about his ex. And if she'd just let herself be jealous and petty and get mad at him for being late for like 20 seconds she could move past it and it wouldn't be an issue, but she makes it worse by telling herself she's not allowed to feel this or that and then gets overwhelmed.

Idk I like her and find her really relatable tbh. I find this really refreshing cause it's actual realistic issues people struggle with rather than angst just for the sake of it with zero character growth.

I feel like the ML has a lot of guilt about abandoning her and then succeeding , and so his whole chill, upbeat attitude pretending like they're still old, close friends was a cope, and shows he hasn't really accepted or worked through the emotions of what happened between them, either.

literally no one even can tell what the scene was omg, it can't be THAT bad

I literally can't remember the last drama that had a good second half. I really can't. They AWLAYS unravel and become like 1/2 as good at best.

The fact that ML is already outwardly very much still in like with the FL makes me worry about all the plot-convenient but character-destroying shenanigans the writer will have to throw at us to somehow keep them apart till the very end and I'm DREADING it.

Yet, I will still keep watching, hoping this one will be different. T.T

I didn't even notice there was AI until I came on here and people were complaining about it being ONE SHOT of the show. Being an artist doesn't entitle anyone to work on a project or be hired. Film is a business, and I'd much rather they spend their energy on the many shots that matter. If they want to use AI what right do you have to say they MUST do it your way instead? And AI can be an art as well--creating the correct prompt wording to get the result you want can take hours. Why is that not effort that you deem "worthy".

Technology throughout history has moved some people out of jobs or adjusted people's roles-- are you complaining this passionately about computer graphics artists putting hand drawn animators out of work? Didn't think so.

Yeah I haven't ever seen this particular flavor of plot for k drama--with one lead essentially co-opting the dream of the other and succeeding because he's rich and has more opportunity. Like I feel intense bitterness FOR her. I thought the ep was really solid, I like the direction and the writing does feel snappy in a good way

Yeah I feel like it really hit him in the final scene that he can't just come back and act all "Smooth Seoul" to her and have her back in his life., which it seems like he was trying to do, just like the first time they met.

I agree, I haven't seen her in a drama in years and I was like how is she even prettier than I remember. God loves some people more I guess
