### Summary
Jiyoon Cha, a woman in her 30s navigating an unfulfilling corporate job and disillusionment with love, has a tumultuous romantic history. After choosing her stoic supervisor, Siwoo (Manager Kang), over her ex-boyfriend Gaeul, their relationship faced a major crisis when Siwoo's past divorce triggered Jiyoon's insecurities, leading to a period that damaged her character in readers' eyes. Siwoo's profound devotion during Jiyoon's subsequent health crisis redeemed their bond, though his controversial decision to quit his job for her raised new concerns about their relationship's balance. Recent chapters have seen their hard-won reconciliation immediately tested by the accidental introduction of marriage into conversation, sparking significant apprehension among fans who fear another breakup. Reader comments highlight frustration with Jiyoon's inconsistent stance on marriage, noting her shifting desires despite Siwoo having previously offered an expensive ring. Concurrently, the secondary couple, Noah and Jaein, are experiencing their own critical conflicts. Readers express deep concern over Noah's treatment of Jaein, perceiving her as toxic, emotionally distant, and treating him like an "annoying child" despite their age gap. Her lack of honest communication is a major point of contention, with readers urging her to express her true feelings rather than "half-assing" their relationship. Jaein is largely seen as an innocent party, though some suggest he should have been truthful about a "sus guy" on a trip. Noah's insecurities are resurfacing, and her relationship with Jaein is viewed by some as a "one-goal game" where he is merely her "safe option." The audience feels a pervasive anxiety for both relationships, with some noting the story has lost its initial spark.
