Yeah, also sometimes it's a lot of luck.

I think he has more issues than that. The talking down is not the problem but a symptom of actual problems that he needs to solve. She loves him, she said it herself that she doesn’t take love casually.

Different attachment styles most likely

Well, if you put it like this in pure facts only listing her side, she does seem awful, but there is so much more context to all of it... It takes two to tango.

Oh yes! There are a lot of them here both from series and novel as well

I just wanted to say, that it is nice to see you here!

That is the beauty of it for me, I do not even recall a drama with so much healthy discussions on MDL and so many viewers waiting for leads to grow up.

I viewed it more where we stand kind of conversation or let's take a step towards more serious relationship rather than let's get married conversation. She desicribed incrementally how she would see relationship ending with marriage down the road.

I think she can not acknowledge him as her BF because she has no idea where they stand. She said is he my boss first or my BF first to her friend. And this was attempt to put him as her BF first.

That is true, maybe she needed that conversation to see if she can start creating this depth or not. Wish they showed us more on her thought process.

It was unclear to me what his intensions were, but inpedepndelty of that it was clear that she didn't feel safe. He might have meant well and she could still not feel safe.

I even went to rewatch his reply because my recollections were so different. I think he explicitly said (at least in my translation to English) that he can not give her life that she wants as a partner. That is actually incredibly self-understanding from his side what he can or can not provide as a partner. I think her bringing up marriage already tells one "hey I am thinking about you seriously, I can take that step" - that seems reassurance in itself to me. He said "I hope you can calm down" as scale your thoughts back and she concluded that there is no difference where they stand between not and year 1, which was never corrected. So I think she didn't hear that he doesn’t want a future with her, but that he doesn't want anything to change in their relationship dynamic and where they stand.

He did, haha :) Satisfying to watch

Yeah it felt rushed, sadly I feel like a lot of episodes might be from now on.

So I kind of felt her timing for more serious conversation was a response to all of these situations. It's like all of these are minor compared to saying I am ready to get married and have family with you. While it doesn't clarify all of that behavior, it shows her love and where he stands in her life or where she can put him.

It was her night professionally and the presentation was a success - she is allowed to drink and celebrate.

I know the world we live in, but your comment just makes me further sad that as women we can not fully drink and relax and have to be aware all the time because of possibility of someone taking advantage.

My read that it was because of his father. He was more comfortable introducing her to his friends than parents.

I am really looking towards this show!

I would love to see normalization that firendship can be emotionally intimate without partnership love. Sometimes our families are not enough and those gaps can be filled with the right people who one calls friends.
