Choi Seunghyo (love next door) was acting weird

SPOILER AHEAD SO DON‘T READ IF YOU THINK ABOUT WATCHING THE SHOW!

So i have to clarify that i dropped the show after the 10th ep (which contains some of the scenes im gonna talk about) and i don’t know if anything happened after that that would change my mind:

First of all, the characters didn’t have any chemistry imo like I don’t remember giggling over their interactions which I sure did for the second couple, but this is not really relevant for this discussion, just wanted to throw it out there.

I’m gonna start with the scene where Seunghyo first found out about Seokryu‘s cancer. I believe it was a realistic reaction, the way he said ,,Even as friend, did I mean this little to you?‘‘. You could hear how hurt he was through his voice. He didn’t try to hurt her in particular, but simply showed his thoughts about it. It made tear up and don’t get me wrong, the acting is great. I more loved Moeum‘s (her best friend) reaction, but I didn’t dislike his behavior either.

However, the next day (I believe) when Seokryu went to the beach , he completely changed his demeanor and shocked me. Him going to find her, that’s great do what you gotta do, I expected a heartfelt convo between them (which they I guess did have after). But no, he is scolding her for not telling them as if she’s not an adult and calls her a fool because she hid her condition. I understand that he was hurt, but idk he could have told her that in a more mature way instead of whatever he did. And then he goes as far as picking her up and throwing her into the water, because she said that she was quote ,,frustrated‘‘. Idk what the producers were trying to do. Seokryu finally broke down after while she was in the water. Was Seunghyo supposed to be the hero that got her out of her shell to make her actually talk about her feelings? Well, whatever the thought process was it wasn’t executed well. Like I said, he is right for being hurt that she hid it from them, but when you actually think about it, he shouldn’t have the audacity to believe he doesn’t have any fault in her behaviour. She hid it from her parents, because they have high expectations for her and she didn’t wanna disappoint them, but she also hid it from Seunghyo, cause he literally ghosted her.

That’s the next thing I wanna talk about: We see the flashback of Seunghyo trying to visit Seokryu and then he coincidently sees her coming out of the hospital or wtv, I don’t remember correctly. She clearly looks tired, at this point she already has/had stomach cancer and maybe even went through surgery and therapy (I don’t remember that part correctly either). He tries to go up to her, but leaves because he sees her with another man, her boyfriend at that moment. He doesn’t even try to ask her about her condition later on. No, he just disappears from her life. Why? Because she has a boyfriend? Does that mean he can’t do his duties as a friend? This whole thing makes it seem like his only intention of being friends with her was to date her, but now he can’t cause she has a boyfriend. Again, it’s okay for him to feel hurt and disappointed seeing his crush be together with someone else, but that was such a lame excuse to ignore her and her messages. She clearly wasn’t throwing him out of her life just because she was in a relationship, but he was being an asshole. If he believes that for some reason he can’t be friends with her, because his feelings are just too big to move on from and this friendship is only gonna hurt him, okay, then he should have talked with her and explain it to her, but that would just cause too many other problems (though he could handle being friends with her over the course of many years with his one sided crush so idk why he couldn’t continue to do it)

For everyone that doesn’t understand it: i’m not hating on the actors, the acting was great, i know that it’s a fictional show, i’m simply voicing my opinion.
