I've seen a lot of posts saying Sa Eon hasn't learnt sign language (the audacity), and I may turn out to be completely wrong, but what if he knows it. At the interview, he kept noticing she was signing early. How would he know that, if not him knowing sign language?

Maybe he pretends he doesn't know, so that he can see her be more honest, if she thinks he doesn't understand her. And he just makes the excuse to have her around for official events, even though he knows it.

When the phone rings is all cheesy manhwa's and crazy shouju manga's mashed together into 12 episodes...

the amount of contract marriage and marriage related kdramas in the past year makes me so happy because truly the hottest thing on this planet is a man wearing a wedding band and going feral for his wife

Sacrificial break-up plots can go f*cked, I am so sick of them.

What the plot wants you to see is this selfless sacrifice of forfeiting your happiness for the sake of your beloveds happiness, but all I can see is misery, ESPECIALLY towards your beloved. You'll be in some so self-satisfying heroism world of "I gave up my loved one for his own happiness", but your beloved? They'll be thinking they weren't enough. Often ex-lovers are involved, so they'll believe they are easily replaceable. They weren't worth fighting for. They weren't worth communicating to, to find a middle ground. They will be constantly living in the worst thoughts of themselves, because you decided to give up. All their self-esteem issues will be confirmed. There is nothing more hurtful than that.

WHAT COMES AFTER LOVE (1.02)

[desire-for-madness]

Can someone send me some sources as to why Korea loves the "sacrificial separations" trope so much, that it shows itself in almost every single romantic storyline (rarely suiting the plot)? I've heard it is because of the history of familial seperation due to North Korea and South Korea, but it's been so long I feel there might be more to it.

Almost everytime it is unnecessary seperations due to lack of communication. It doesn't make the relationships stronger, it actually makes it more unstable if your partner keeps abandoning you at any sign of trouble.

I loved the show Hidden Love because it was the only show where the couple went through everything together. Why can't Korea also push this instead of the idea that you're not worth fighting for. "I'd rather be miserable, than fight for happiness with you"...

You have a fear of being abandoned, because that is all that ever happened in your life?

Let me just do it again! And again~

I'm so obsessed with the show I had to make something short. I cried so many times during first two episodes and I don't know why, they're just doing a really good job at the pacing and that past lovers atmosphere. Love that we get both of their perspectives too.

I'm loving it so far! Scared but looking forward to next four episodes!

Jiaxu, as you said, she is one of your father's former creditors... So it has nothing to do with you.

Damn, I was kind of against that "Enemies to Lovers" loveline from the beginning, between the second couple Ja Yeon and Bok Gyu Hyun, because it was more "Abuser and Victim to Lovers". I don't like that forced sympathy for someone who deliberately tried to hurt someone with their words (over a hundred times). I don't think that shit should be romanticized.

But from the beginning, it felt like the dude never took it seriously, his main focus was hiding he's rich. The second time they met, he even snapped at her, like, did you think you'll apologize once and she'll forgive you?! Oh you're having a bad day? What about all the bad days you gave her??

And the volunteering, he's not even doing it genuinely, lying, buying machines, making his secretary do more than half the work (on his day off may I add, which is just abuse of power as well).

I understand the show is trying to make us sympathize with him cuz his father is hard on him since youth, but that doesn't excuse you from wrongdoings, that you should genuinely repent for.

She's so sweet, and I really don't want her to end up with a dude who'll only repent once he falls in love with her, instead of the secretary who buys her food, remembers what she liked, goes out to meet her, believes she's a great writer.

I don't think any victim of verbal abuse would fall in love with their abuser, when said abuser genuinely don't even realize what they did wrong.

Our story began when he was 22 years old. I once buried my feelings towards him worried that someone else might find out. I worked hard to become a better person to match his pace. And when I finally caught up to him, that's when I knew that I wasn't the only one running. He was running towards me too. In these five whole years, I healed his trauma. He gave my bittersweet first love a happy ending. Our story began when he was 22 years old. And it came to an end when I was 22 years old.
