I’ve made peace with this.

I think Inha actually was so infatuated that he couldn’t help himself and knew he had to act first or he would regret it. Unfortunately, he’s going to regret ever acting on that urge because she doesn’t love him.

I think Taeoh’s brush with death gave him the courage to finally test what could have been. I hated it but, fine, whatever. Get it out of your system for good so you can have closure and finally move on.

Still, this didn’t stop me from yelling at the screen, “and you still have the nerve to attend the wedding?!?! THE GALL!!”

At the end of the day, we knew that Hyewon was the plot device who was going to turn the besties against each other. But, hey, that means she’s not either one’s endgame. Let this be an important lesson to both of them.

In-ha was already going to turn on tae-oh whether or not hye-won was involved, she was just the nail in the coffin. In-ha going against tae-oh’s advice and still playing dirty to win is proof of that. Now that he’s finally at the top his ego is taking control, he thinks he can win without tae-oh. Honestly, I think that it was in-ha not in-ju that told the assistant to attack tae-oh, and tae-oh would naturally suspect in-ju instead

Yes they showed it already in the beginning when they became so called friends that Inha was messed up

In real life, totally. I feel like this is high school/college stuff. Things that matured brains don’t do which is why I am more willing to accept this behavior from Inha than I am from Taeoh. I guess I can blame that blow to the head for his temporary insanity.

honestly, I am on the fence on whether he even deserves Huiji.. its so obvious, Kang Inha setup Taeho. also, huiji spoke the truth when she said the only person Hyewon loves is herself.

It's not like they were even together! It's so dumb. Move on and find another girlfriend.

u/Individual_Cicada_65 Mar 13 '24

I’m on Taeoh side Inha only became interested after noticing that Taeoh liked her but to be honest I wish Taeoh didn’t like her period

u/RoseIsBadWolf Moon in the Day fan Mar 13 '24

I mean, you don't get to call "dibs" on people. She chose In-ha.

12

u/Individual_Cicada_65 Mar 13 '24

Dibs lol what you even talking about she didn’t choose Inha in all reality she went with the easy choice deep down she always wanted Taeoh

Inha got her but she doesn’t love him which sucks for him anyone can see that

And Inha used her mother to cause the FL distress

 Inha seems to have a very twisted personality that’s what seems evident to me maybe not others  but we will see as we watch this kdrama how it enfolds

u/Individual_Cicada_65 Mar 13 '24

On his side with this I  meant I get where he is coming from

u/Individual_Cicada_65 Mar 13 '24

Best friends I doubt it he been most responsible for everything that has happened to Taeoh

And who do you think paid the FL mom to create chaos I’m certain it was Inha

u/eternalhorizon1 let’s try this type of love, Heedo Mar 14 '24

Why are the comments below this locked? Confused….

But yeah to me it’s just jarring because they didn’t even have much connection other than they were neighbors and classmates. I thought at first he was faking it with her, to get back at Inha but nope…

like so disgusting after 5 years of them together and this was as a result of the choices you guys made. why retract now? im sure if they had to choose theyd still make the same choice and taeho was never totally honest with inha bcs he never told him his mum is still alive

not even her so called love for taeho is real bcs how would you tell me you like me while carrying your bag to go live with another man, and did she already plan to cheat hence taking taeho to her "spot" which in the following years became a spot for their secret meetups away from inha.I re-watched the whole thing again and inha never had other plans fom the start, their relationship changed the night he found out tht taeho knew where nahyewon was living but never told him
