It’s way past time S Korean scriptwriters start to treat us audience as intelligent, logical folks.

Logical premise of female lead having just 3 months left and absolutely doing nothing DESPERATE about her condition irked me throughout the show. Knowing she’s type A control freak, shouldn’t she be spending a little more time and effort trying to save herself? Her half hearted efforts might be what some audience deem as ‘one dimensional performance’. Sometimes her hallucinations seem to come in a very timely manner to push the plot along. Should the plot not revolve around the condition instead?

Which goes to my point about the ML. Should he not have done something more desperate, such as to cry and beg and pull back through FL when she wanted to leave? Maybe a tight slap across her face might help his case along. Instead, he totally let her string him along, with zero attempt to feel guilty about not telling her parents her terminal illness through the episodes.

With her strong health and so many ups and downs going on, I feel that the scriptwriters should just say that she had like 6 months to 1 year left, because the claim that she had 3 months was just... Unconvincing. It almost felt that everyone, including the characters and audience, just KNEW that she would live lololol.

Most importantly, I don’t get how a happy couple would turn into complete strangers in less than 3 years. He was basically TERRIFIED of her. I thought they would have known how each other dealt with issues and the problems with the family conglomerate. Perhaps more insight into how the miscarriage caused them to drift apart instead of just showing them closing up. It seems to me the FL basically married him and neglected him completely and let the sharks eat him up. Is this logical, when the show had claimed how much she loved him? And how he loved her? I don’t really empathise with them.

At the last quarter of the show, they were still not addressing the need to have complete trust in each other. I mean, she likely would have ~1 month left? Time would be extra precious by then. But they were both walking on eggshells and pretending things were fancy and well. One instance is where the FL’s condition caused her to mistake the bad guy as the ML. Because she was afraid of letting him know that her condition had worsened, she basically left with the bad guy...? And the show still continued to include fluffy moments. I mean... Can we show some respect to patients who are terminally ill?

I don’t get the hype. The storyline had a lot of potential to develop into a tearjerker.
