“You look great together” — Destined With You delivered one of the only times that line didn’t make me cringe, since it couldn’t have been directed at a more deserving pair. I hate how it’s usually uttered by some secondary character who thinks the natural order of the universe dictates that the supposed best-looking people must be paired off together, while the “less desirable” half of the OTP has to listen and suffer in silence.

    Can you believe I watched this just last night, and I’ve already forgotten. Who said this to whom?

      Shin-yu’s parting words to Na-yeon and Hyun-seo (the Haum construction CEO) after he arranged for them to have dinner together, revealed he knew about their affair and hopefully put an end to Na-yeon’s hopes of reconciliation (gag!) once and for all.

        Ah right. Thanks. I really enjoyed that scene but forgot his parting line. I hope they take him up on his advice. To paraphrase @ceciliedk immortal words (from last week), Hyun-seo has an ounce of humanity left and he’s willing to spend it all on Na-yeon. Take it girl, take it. 😀

          She tossed it aside, though, like a fool. I don’t yell at Hong-jo…I yell at Na-yeon.

        I love how you explained Chaebol Construction Dude’s name, as you rightly assume, there’s no way we’re retaining it 🙂

    I totally clapped for Shin-yu in that scene.
    a. Wonderful to see his photographic memory in action,
    b. Well planned take down of the SFL,
    c. Awesome punch line – so perfectly apt,
    d. Mic drop 🎤

    Hyun-seo was smart enough to know he had been beaten. 😂 🤣

      Same!! It was really nice to see him actually really swiftly and confidently take action, after episodes of him being silent and passive.

        This confidence and swift action really drives home that Shin-yu had no love lost for Na-yeon.

        Which is why it is even more bewildering as to why did he allow her to cling onto him for so long.

          I’d like to think there’s some profound complexity of character that would explain that, but it’s more than likely just going to be because of inconsistency in writing hey 😭

          But a theory nevertheless: he was so shook by the whole ‘having real feelings’ thing that it took a while for his mind to reboot. And then he got a grip and decided to get back to his old self minus the ‘being a jerk to Hong-jo’ part. Oh and, finding out about Na-yeon’s affair maybe also helped him cut through any guilt based responsibility he felt for her. (even then though, why did it take him so long 😭)

            Ticket for one please!

            I am totally on board with your theory … and why do I have a sneaking suspicion that it is more logical and well-through that what the drama may (or more likely may not) give us.

            No no, it’s because his father was in cahoots with the mayor to develop the Mount Onju site.

            He was under serious pressure from his family…I really think that’s the root cause here.
