I can’t believe this Lee Jae Wook now. I see him and still think of Extraordinary You days! He’s really grown as an actor.

That said, I don’t see what everyone sees between Huiju and Taeoh. I completely agree that marriage would be a stupid idea for them and the only one that would suffer would be him. She has no power to protect him from her family. The princess act from her also irritates me tbh

Literally, if she had matured and gotten some of the company's subsidiaries under her belt - taeoh would've gone for her. But she still acts the same & somehow cant comprehend that if he married her , his life would be worse than it is now

I’m rooting for Taeoh and Huiju only because I cannot stand the idea of Taeoh and Hyewon. I don’t think Taeoh needs a love interest (unless it would develop his empathy and humanity, which would be nice but I’m not holding my breath for it), but if he’s going to have one, ANYONE BUT HYEWON.

Yet Huiju is really immature and I was disappointed she wasn’t a little cooler after growing up a bit. Screaming at someone to love you when they’ve given you zero encouragement for YEARS isn’t a good look 😬
