### Summary
The current chapter intensifies the story's external conflicts by introducing a new antagonist, Yuna, identified as Joonwon's ex-fiancée. The central event sparking debate is Joonwon publicly stating that he and Dohee are "just colleagues" and not dating. This has split the readership: one side condemns Joonwon for sending hurtful, mixed signals after previously showing interest, while the other defends him, arguing he was being truthful about their non-exclusive status. This second group posits that his statement was a strategic move to protect Dohee from Yuna, who is perceived as a toxic and manipulative "bully," while also respecting Dohee's own repeated reluctance to commit. Yuna is universally despised by the readers, who speculate she has a history of bullying Dohee and may have cheated on Joonwon, leading to their broken engagement. This follows the previous chapter's introduction of another frustrating antagonist, the childhood friend Kang, cementing a new arc focused on external drama. Readers recognize this as a "typical kdrama formula" meant to create tension, but the core frustration remains rooted in the protagonists' ambiguous "situationship," with significant debate over which character is more responsible for their undefined relationship.
