Unpopular opinion: As much as I love Tae Won and Eun Ho together ( and I do quite a lot. They’re basically all I watch these days) I feel like it is a bit unbalanced. Tae Woon is doing all the comforting and supporting and Eun Ho is on the receiving end all the time. I haven’t watched 15&16 though so my opinion might change.

    No, you’re right about that. I can’t remember which recap or fanwall post it was, but I was discussing this with some other Beanies. Unfortunately it’s endemic to Kdramas, the female characters are more often written as receivers rather than givers.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Let the girl do some swoony stuff too!

    I don’t see her comforting as much, no, but I do see her challenging and encouraging him to mend relationships, pursue his dreams, etc. She’s also just there for him when he wants to be silent or talk, which can be just as important. To be frank, until this week, there wasn’t much he needed comfort for. The drama’s been written around her crises.
    So while it can look unbalanced in the traditional romantic sense, I don’t think it is really. Unlike other romances in kdramas where I don’t see the female lead giving anything back.
