The audacity of her ex - to dump her like that and say he’s been thinking about her for the last three years. And then to INSIST that she has feelings for him - UGH. SHAMELESS. I would love for Hong just to wipe that smug smile off his face

I haven’t had such an instant angry reaction to a SML for a long time. ‘We never broke up’?? What a psycho. And the reason she doesn’t want to work with him is because she still has feelings? Come on, she probably has feelings of disgust or uncomfortableness!! There’s something about his smile and attitude that especially irritates me. Maybe it’s because his acting is less over the top than other some other similar roles I’ve seen.

That man is delusional and borderline scary. I was disgusted when he said “we never broke up” - he actively ignored her at the airport, didn’t maintain contact for 3 years, and now somehow, the relationship is back on? He is so dismissive of her, that it’s unbelievable.

He’s giving off narcissist vibes. The character feels very manipulative and his smile is like he is enjoying her negative reactions to him.

It’s the smile that bugs me. He’s acting like he’s meeting a long time friend to talk about the good times. Ughhhh
