I honestly don't know what to think about the fact that you not only believe that there is still a love triangle between Ja-yeon, Gyu-hyun and Ha-joon, which in reality never existed, but that you even hope that Ja-yeon and Ha-joon will end up together. As I wrote under the video of the previous episode, there is no such thing, Ja-yeon has had a crush on Ha-joon since high school, which is why she used his name for the male protagonist of her novel, but Ha-joon is not only unaware of her feelings, but has no romantic interest in her, he only sees her as a friend and not even that close, it's a one-way love. It's Gyu-hyun who has started to develop a strong romantic interest in Ja-yeon, as we've seen and they are the second couple in this drama, I don't know why you were so convinced by Ha-joon. In any case, this episode provides a further detail about Ja-yeon's past, namely why she disappeared during high school, as Ha-joon wondered when the two visited their old school; the reason is soon said: as we had already discovered, Ja-yeon was a victim of abuse by her father, which led to her being entrusted first to an orphanage and then to the foster home of Hae-young's mother; however, her father discovered not only what school she attended, but also the foster home she was staying in, as evidenced by the flashback in which, furious, he looked for her, which forced Hae-young's parents to temporarily transfer her to another foster family and enroll her in another school. Of course, this is just a piece of the story, there is still a piece that has not been revealed and, as we know, she does not confide this part of the story to others, on the contrary, she keeps everything inside and it is an emotional pain that is still great in her, so much so that, as we already know, the infamous hate comments of Gyu-hyun made her remember it. In this regard, we also discovered that it was not Gyu-hyun who wrote those comments, which also explains his confusion when Ja-yeon reproached him for writing that she had to die, but that it was Ha-joon who did it, in good faith, on Gyu-hyun's orders, which seems to have shocked Ja-yeon when she found out. Obviously Ha-joon simply carried out the task entrusted to him, so I would not blame him too much, even though he wrote terrible things so lightly and he will have to take responsibility for this, which he himself has already admitted when working as a volunteer with Gyu-hyun at the orphanage. In any case, Ja-yeon's reluctance towards Gyu-hyun's obvious feelings are not so much to be attributed to the latter's hiding his identity, but to something that we still don't know and that will be relevant... I found it very funny that they reversed one of the most classic drama clichés, that is the so-called "dead fish kiss", that is when there is a kiss between the two protagonists and usually the female protagonist remains frozen, like a dead fish, but this time it was the male protagonist, Ji-wook, when Hae-young gave that half-heavy kiss to push Woo-jae away and not make him suspicious. In this moment I love how Ji-wook takes the initiative, a bit out of spite, and gives her a real passionate kiss worthy of the name. Here Ji-wook accuses her of being an opportunist and it's true, the whole drama is based on Hae-young's lifestyle where, in everything she sees an opportunity, a gain because of how she was raised. We are in a particular phase of the relationship, in which they are now playing with their cards on the table, especially when he confesses openly when they are buying the bed and she is more and more attracted to him and now there is no longer any real gain from this relationship and feelings are the master. In all of this I still love Ji-wook's slightly childish soul when he tries to impress Hae-young by organizing situations in which he can prove to be the man she needs, only to then turn everything against him, making himself look stupid. The drama continues in the excellent work of mixing comedy and drama, the chemistry between the two protagonists is palpable not only in the romantic scenes, but also in the comic ones, where both have excellent timing. Anyway, ultimately, it is now clear that Ji-wook was hired at Kkulbee by his biological father Ki-ho and that the manager Jang works for him and that he did it to give competition to Gyu-hyun, to encourage him to do better, too bad that Ji-wook does not have such ambition, unlike Hae-young, as underlined by Ki-ho himself. In short, in a twisted way, this maneuver makes sense, even if treating your illegitimate son as if he were a vehicle is not exactly the best and in any case now this secret has also come to light, we will see the developments. Thanks for the reaction. I remind you again that once you finish No Gain No Love, you will have to watch its spin-off Spice Up Our Love, which is only two episodes long and is dedicated to Ja-yeon and Gyu-hyun... in a way... Remember that.
I'm sorry you read that tone, I was actually neutral. The obligation, so to speak, is that, otherwise, a little more of the story would be lost otherwise.

You sound really bossy and demanding. You can request or recommend that she watch Spice Up Our Love. The way you put it sounded more like a demand.
