Choi Seung-Hyo is keeping me sane right now and I hope he can get me through this

Okay. So I typed out this bottom half before I got to the beach scene... And then she said the very thing I mentioned within this bottom half and I just can't anymore. She asked him why he was angry when she was the one who's suffering...not at all reflecting on anything he'd confronted her with. I'm so sad as I genuinely liked her character up until episode 8. Dropping this because I don't trust that she as a character can earn my trust back.___ Written before the decision.I like the characters, I like the story but I have to say the cancer reveal is still getting to me 2 episodes later. I'm so happy Choi Seung-Hyo called her out the way he did because at the start of the episode it really seemed like it would fall into the trap of having her be the victim of her own circumstance. It frustrated me so much because Bae Seok-ryu completely disregards the lifelong psychological damage her secret could have on both her and the people around her. In reality, a secret like that could breed resentment and abandonment issues in her while also leading to lifelong guilt to those around her which in turn might lead to them never feeling like they can do enough to make up for not being there for her while also not being "allowed" to voice their own pain over her choice because she's the one who endured this. Things like this can literally tear families apart. I want to hope that this means the show is acknowledging what she did as a genuine character flaw but as I type this, despite Choi Seung-Hyu pointing out her lack of accountability and care for those who care about her, she just up and disappeared without a word to anyone...which makes it feel like she still refuses to see her fault in any of this. Her apologies come off as insincere and I honestly fear that this plot twist has wrecked my enjoyment of her as a character.
