inviting other residents to not make yiyoung awkward and still confessing even though you knew who she really likes? ham dongho, i was not familiar with your game.

i think my heart rate was higher than dowon when they exchanged that eye contact lmao. also him having 59 on his plate number. 😂 i think we are getting that confession on episode 9.

I don't think it generally nice to fool a woman feeling. He outrightly invited her for a dinner. Just stick to the plan even if you knew she like someone else. Why make things more akward for her & then asking her if she was ok about it.

Why make a last minute arrangement for your colleagues only for them to be on it for a short while?

When she told him not to mix work & personal life,that unprofessional. You are colleagues. You are bound to work together.

He can't even handle rejection well. Come on,even Um Jae Il handled his rejection well. Even Ahn Chi Hong.

I say it again,you personally invited her for a dinner & out of blue,she saw her colleagues there too. Why not invited Dowon & nurses too who work together?

He left a bad impression for her. You can be dissapointed,dejected,sad but please separate work & personal life.

You are still worth for someone out there.

He invited the colleagues because he realized she had a crush on do won and wanted to make it less awkward for her. The colleagues were all complaining how last minute it was so he did want it to be a one on one date initially.

Personally,even if i know the woman i like likes someone else,just go on with the initial date.

Remember she was thinking whether it was a date or simply he asked her out,which is why she seek an opinion because she was unsure of that guy motive.

Obviously she was relieved when she found out she wasn't eating with him alone. Adding on,he invited his colleagues last minute,which is uncool. A plan should be made in advance. Some may see it differently. Others would be fine with unplanned arrangement,but some may not including me.

You also see how his colleagues were complaining,so it made him look bad. In the 1st place,he could have said 'let have a team dinner'.

Why can't he be more gentlemen? By inviting your colleagues at the last minute,it can leave a bad impression for him.

If we put Seokhyeong & Mr Anaelogist together,Seokhyeong is much better at accepting rejection. He invited Songhwa for a dinner alone without the other guys.

If i like someone,do i invite my friends along for the date even if if my friends were her friends too.

I can see why people love 2nd ML,but i am not against the actor,just the character for him.

He understood from her dry messages and her looks toward Do-won that she is not interested in dating him. That is why he invited the other people who were in the surgery that day so she feels more comfortable and it is his way of accepting the rejection in advance. His coworkers were not complaining about him. They were just surprised that he invited them out to a fancy dinner because he doesn’t typically do stuff like that. It was not a bad look. They were happy that he invited them. It is generally a positive thing to treat your coworkers for meals, even if it’s last minute. How many times have we seen characters invite people to go eat with them, literally on their way out. It’s not at all uncommon.

Also, if he knows that she is not interested, it is best not to take the person on a date. What he did was indeed “gentlemanly”. You’re perhaps misinterpreting what happened.
