Thanks for the context. I missed that she knows him and that he played a prior role in her life. While her obsession with him is real, it certainly helps that there is a prior connection. Forget the drama, but it seems like there are fans in Korea whose obsession with celebrities crosses over into dysfunction. In their mind, they have a real relationship with the celebrity not a fictional one. Celebrities are treated like they are "owned" by the fans and become slaves to their love and approval.

As a woman, your characterization of me is really off. Forget the drama, my point is that there's a unhealthy, even dysfunctional set of dynamics that can occur between fans and celebrities in Korea. Fans think they "own" the celebrity or fantasize some kind of fictional relationship with them. Celebrities, in turn, almost become slaves of the fans.

So true. It really is a compulsive obsession. Fans think they "own" the celebrity. They fantasize a real relationship where none exists. Celebrities have to stay "available" for the fans. They almost become a slave to their fans.

That's true. However, is it healthy for her to idiolize him (all the images she has on her walls, etc.) to the extent that she does? And is it healthy for fans to idiolize celebrities to such a degree that they express that they are "in love" with them, dream about them? Seems to create a very dysfunctional life for the celebrity and for the fangirl.

I'm sure there's a level of fangirling that's healthy. She's beyond that level. Outside of work, her life resolves around a celebrity that doesn't know she exists. Do 35 year old women dedicate a room in their home to posters, collages and pictures of an idol that they're not spending time with? I find that creepy.

Do die hard football fans say that they're "in love." Do they spend all their free time following the player. Do they dream about the player. I find her obsession bizarre. It's not a hobby. She's propped him up to be the main thing/person outside of work that she thinks about, dreams about.

Strange hobby to be in love with someone that doesn't know you exist and to spend all your free time following him. She also dreams about him.

There's a level when fangirling crosses over into obsession. She's crossed that line. Her whole world outside the office revolves around following him. He doesn't know she exists and she's living for him. Bizarre.

She's obsessed with him. I would call that idol worship. Is it not bizarre to spend most of your free time fantasizing about how you love a celebrity. She dreams about him. Creepy. It is not a hobby. She says she loves the guy.

She's living a delusional life. She says she's "in love" with a celebrity. How can you be in love with someone you've never met, spent time with or talked with? Insanity.

It's insane to love an idol like that. Why wouldn't she want to pursue a life surrounded by real friends rather than live in a fantasy.

True they are psychos. The FL comes off as somewhat psycho with the level of obsession she has over him. Very bizarre that a fan would be so consumed with an idol. It doesn't seem possible that a successful attorney would be that nuts over an idol.

What do you mean a tad bit obsessed. Her life outside of work completely revolves around her obsession with an idol that she hasn't met and she's 35 years old. That is nuts.

Very well stated. The FL comes off as unbalanced and creepy with the level of fan obsession she has. It's really disturbing is this happens in real life.

If fans (let alone a 35 year old attorney) exhibit that kind of obsession, it really borders on an illness.

It's sick and wrong that a 35 year old successful attorney would ever be that crazy and cringey over an idol. Don't get me wrong, I think that the drama is pretty good, but I find it hard to imagine that someone at her age and with her occupation would be spending all her free time and treasure over an idol she's never met. How crazy and demented is that. If there really are fans like that in Korea, they really need to get a life and move on from fantasy.

Does anyone know if the two final couples dated after the filming?

Powerful episode! Acting, writing, cinematography, direction. It really came together. Regarding the abortion, it was his child. Yes, there's a mother but there's also a father. The baby was a victim and in this case, since he didn't consent to the abortion, he was also a victim. He was robbed of his offspring. For many of us alive today, our parents didn't plan for us. You could say we were "accidents." But they figured it out and we were allowed birth/life.

What a rude comment. She seems very appropriate, very talented and successful and has come on the show looking for marriage. That's the show theme, right?

I find the show crazy good. Unique, funny, suspenseful at times, and great banter so far between the leads. I'm impressed with the entire team (director, writer, actors, production) in their creativity to break the mold and achieve so many firsts.
