### Summary
Following significant reader frustration with the main protagonist, Jiyoon, the narrative has decisively pivoted away from her relationship with Siwoo. Lingering dissatisfaction from a poorly resolved conflict over Siwoo's past divorce was compounded when Jiyoon reacted negatively to his suggestion of cohabitation, despite having previously stated she didn't want marriage. This perceived inconsistency solidified her role as the source of the couple's drama in the eyes of the audience, who have overwhelmingly sided with the patient Siwoo. The current chapter's reader commentary confirms a complete shift in focus, with engagement now centered entirely on the secondary couple, Noah and Jaein. Readers express deep affection for their burgeoning romance, finding their dynamic endearing and relatable. Commentary highlights charming details like the age gap, the sweet awkwardness of who pays for dates, and simple acts of care, with fans affectionately calling them "my babies." This warm reception to Noah and Jaein's relationship stands in stark contrast to the ongoing frustration with the main couple, cementing the secondary romance as the new, compelling center of the story.
