1.) I don’t like swearing on this website, but Jae-hyuk is honestly a fucking bastard and Noe-ul is a fucking bitch. I hate these two characters so much. I don’t want them redeemed and I refuse to extend an ounce of sympathy to either one of them, even though I know that is vaguely the direction in which this drama seems to be going.
2.) I’m so frustrated with Geon-woo. He should just stop abetting No-eul and Jae-hyuk. Same with Do-hee’s mom, although she seems to be coming around to Do-hee on this. It’s fucking disgusting that all these people are (intentionally or not) helping these two trash exes as they behave in the most appalling, inexcusable fashion. It’s just not right.
3.) Do-hee, please don’t go in the direction of noble idiocy. Please.
4.) I don’t like that Do-hee didn’t tell Hae-kyeong what actually happened in the apartment. I know she wasn’t being malicious and was only trying to do what she thought was best, for Hae-kyeong and for Jae-hyuk. But I feel like Hae-kyeong is a character who really values honesty.
5.) I don’t like Jae-hyuk’s backstory. It just seems like a typical tortured chaebol story. I also hate that Geon-woo seems to think Jae-hyuk’s sob story background entitles Jae-hyuk to sympathy and, perhaps, to understanding from Do-hee. It doesn’t. He’s a creep, a stalker, a harasser. He’s forcing himself on a woman who doesn’t want him. Fine, he’s mentally ill and he has some struggles in his life. That doesn’t give him any right to torture Do-hee.

I’m with you on swearing at the exes. They’re all of what you said. They don’t deserve any sympathy. Full stop.
