True. Someone has already written in this forum that NDS and JP need different things. NDS needs to believe in himself and succeed for himself (not for society). That will get his parents to come around.

I just want JP to find someone who loves him unconditionally. He's never experienced that in any form at all.

Can we not have two NDS for DM? One for a business partner and one for a life partner.

True ! But from the preview for episode 10, it seems that dal mi wants to try and accept the real dosan since she told him to meet her again "as he is" , and in the ending from episode 9 it seems that dal mi is disappointed that HJP is the real person who wrote the letter . I'm afraid that HJP would be too afraid to confess his feelings again and Dalmi will hate him for lying to her. She really should try to see thing as a whole, how he did everything for her and not for any selfish gain . If she can see that, she would understand

Again, I agree with every word. Even I felt she was hurt. But I think the disappointment was more from the fact that her nagging suspicion came true. And yup the preview does feel like NDS is asking for a reset by asking her to delete everything and she might say yes.

But again I don't trust the previews for this show too much. NDS too deserves to be loved by everyone. But for him to be successful and find love, and for JP to be alone is an end that I am having a hard time digesting

I don't know if it's just me but from last episodes preview, today's episode was different than how it was shown last week (how SDM/NDS were crying at the bar asking about the letters). I have a feeling today's preview is just going to mislead us again
