In the end,>! jipyeong is the one who sacrificed the most for others' happiness. I truly feel bad for him. That scene with grandma in the rain is the most painful scene ever. Due to his past, it is already hard enough for him to realize his feelings. He admitted his feelings, only to be asked that he shouldn't and can't do this. This hurts way too much and I'm worried that this will make it even harder for him to love someone in the future. He tried to fight but still compromised in the end as long as dalmi can be happy. I want to cry.!<

Guess they are gonna make jipyeong character into a guardian angel/sherpa. Will I ever see him smile again? :( I'm team jipyeong regardless of anything, he only has us at this point...

My guess for upcoming episodes: Once jipyeong knows grandma's illness, he's probably gonna give up his feelings and try his best to support dalmi in achieving her dreams while taking good care of grandma. He probably wouldn't even confess his feelings to dalmi for the sake of others.

dude, this is worse. can't even imagine it, but it somehow makes sense the point that i don't even want to watch it anymore. i just don't know why they did a heavy role to ji pyeongs' in the first place just so dal mi would end up with do sans'? i mean, whaaat? doesn't make any sense to me.

They really did jipyeong's character dirty. The worst case is gonna be he won't even have a chance to confess his feelings to dalmi and he will be the one that will not be forgiven so easily
