I love that the dude is all yeah sure I will never tell her, wait wait I can't tell you and then two minutes later is begging to spill his guts out.
Here is where my sympathy for him evaporated. He and evil secondary girl get stranded on a deserted island and she asks for a hug for her supposed nightmares and somehow this ends up in her vagina hugging his dick. AGAIN. I am sorry, I was highly sympathetic after first time which was totally sexual assault but twice? Like I realize that his dick is probably losing its "mind" because it's been finally allowed out of the chastity cage but come on. Honestly, the moral of this seems to be regular sex saves your relationship. Like perhaps he wouldn't be literally led by his little Byung Soo (or perhaps not so little, as the secondary girl has got to be obsessed for a reason) if he was getting laid on the reg. Like if he gets sex all the time, some lady he doesn't fancy offering more of the same won't really do much.
Is there a term for a fetish which includes sleeping with someone who puritan freaks out every morning after? If there isn't yet, it should be named after her.
When they both crouch down and start wailing I, soulless creature that I am, laughed and laughed and laughed.
Big shock, she takes his cheating as well as could be expected.
Hormones that happened, that's what.
I got to say, huge kudos to KRW because anyone less competent would make this man unbearable - he's so weak, so immature, so sheltered and so inexperienced that it could very well be truly off-putting but he somehow makes me root for this pathetic wet blanket failure of a man. When I think that this came out the same year as Love Story in Harvard, where he was oh so very alpha, my brain breaks.
Anyway, all that and she decides to take him back. Okaaaaay. Love her letter tho.
I know he has nice hair but the FUCK
However, not so fast. The devil works harder but evil secondary girl works harder and so she lies to our FL she's pregnant and our FL instead of saying congrats, raise it yourself or have an abortion, instead sends ML to her. This scene, calling back to their childhood where he'd freeze until she freed him is awwwww.
ML, being an idiot, decides to marry evil secondary girl so his kid wouldn't grow up with no dad like he did. What it would do to a kid with a father who's probably wearing a hair shirt on the reg and a mom who's insane is wondered by nobody. At this point, I am beginning to think not even Kim Rae Won is worth all that fuss, ladies just buy yourself a dildo (secondary girl) and a long-haired dog breed (FL) and call it a day. This was epic tho:
All these people are insane.
And then the beating scene I posted earlier happened and then I finished ep 6 and had to take a break because I was actively feeling dumber.
In conclusion, all of this story could have been avoided if our ML listened to the immortal advice of Golden Girls:

Did my heart really stop beating? It was a cardiac arrest. It stopped only for a few minutes. If a person has an average life, their heart beats around two billion times. Of those two billion times, roughly about 1,000 times would be my contribution. My wrists still hurt. So be good to me. So don't be good to me. I told you. I hate being indebted. I wasn't good to you. I was just doing my job. If you don't want to be indebted, just don't get hurt. I'll pay you back. We're specially related.
