### Summary
The emotional fallout from Raehwa and Gwon I-tae's recent encounter intensifies, with their relationship taking "one step forward, two steps back" as I-tae breaks his promise to quit drinking. While readers note the enjoyable dynamic between I-tae and his colleagues, the central conflict remains the severe miscommunication between the leads, a recurring point of audience frustration. The mystery surrounding Raehwa's traumatic past deepens with a prominent reader theory suggesting her mother, a fraudulent artist, took credit for Raehwa's paintings and committed suicide after being exposed. This theory posits that Raehwa's stepfather then institutionalized her to induce amnesia and protect his late wife's reputation. As Raehwa grapples with sobriety and the weight of her actions, her use of ableist language like "lunatic" has drawn criticism. The narrative continues to build suspense, leaving Raehwa in a vulnerable position with a character who cannot fight, while also raising questions about I-tae's own history and whether he was ever in the same mental hospital. The story has firmly pivoted from physical intimacy to a psychological drama centered on shared trauma, memory, and the painful consequences of their inability to connect.
