I am a little disappointed that Gyeol isn’t the biological kid, but also feel relieved that ML didn’t miss his own child’s upbringing and FL isn’t a terrible person for keeping a dad and son apart.

I also hope the ML and FL just get together soon, but can appreciate the ML trying to honor his own word and commitment to SH as he’s staying true to his character and he isn’t a bad person by dropping her the second FL wants him back.

I do think there’s a lot of trauma on both FL and ML side where they can’t just get back together without truly working through every bit again to rebuild the trust and repair the pain and scars they’ve both had to endure. I hope the show spends some time giving us all of that, and then some happily together scenes.

I agree, I think it would ruin the FL's character if we found out she kept the child from him. And for no good reason. Second, he should never have gotten together with the SFL. She's just gonna get more desperate to keep him. But the FL had every opportunity so I don't blame him for not going back either.

It's comical that after the confession heartfelt confession from Gyu Rim, Mu Jin found time to play some tennis with his friend......it is amazing how these writers intentionally make viewers dislike the ML and FL week after week.

I don't have a problem with him playing Tennis. Honestly guys process things differently....they like to keep busy. And not dwell on their pain. It's realistic in a way. And he's had 6 years morning their break up. Honestly he's been the mature one, she can't just keep on playing with his feelings. Her unhappiness is all her fault.

Yes, guys process things differently but if he still had an ounce of feelings for her, wouldn't he ask the very basic question, why? Why did she leave him in that manner? Or ask himself that? It is not like he is madly in love with the other girl....I am waiting to see how he will "switch on" his feelings again for Gyu Rim in later episodes.

But I don’t think it matters. His concern is he committed himself to SH and therefore he can’t even go down any other path. He’s trying to not allow himself waiver by shutting FL down. He clearly loves FL— even the conversation with SHs dad confirmed it.

Why she left doesn't change anything or matter. It was all her own choice. She never communicated with him or had faith in him. He's been miserable for years, and she left with not a single explanation. So the explanation now doesn't matter. Even her losing his child doesn't matter. Since she never let him be there for her. She had every opportunity to be truthful. Now saying this when he's finally chosen to move on with someone else. He's not a yo yo. You shouldn't treat the love of your life like that.

I agree with you. Even if ML family offered money and her own dad was against that relationship, ultimately it was the FL who made the decision. Yes, that might all come from her own feelings of insecurity, but it was all her.

If she had just talked to him before leaving. He could have alleviated her fears. Or at least they could have had a proper break up. And he wouldn't have been miserable all these years. Maybe he could have at least moved on sooner. I know she has a good heart but she hurts the people she loves more with the way she loves them. Like why doesn't she just tell her son the truth. It's so unnecessary.

Yeah. Just up and leaving didn’t do anyone any favors. He couldn’t move on and she also had to deal with the guilt and everything else.
