...I agree but it isn't like you have to marry someone just because you agree to start dating.
It's all so much more serious than it needs to be because
1) they are famous and the public thinks they can demand to know their personal business
2) she is Korean and I have noticed that writers and Korean drama producers like to pretend that a Korean FL will only date to find true love/get married and that their Korean women are good girls who don't sleep around causally, but if the ML needs to he can sleep with the American women that suddenly appears and
3) Yes he took his time to get here but they have know each other since they were kids so sometimes it is really scary to risk a importantfriendship for that long to date because it might not work out and then it's a coin flip if they remain friends.
Dating to see if there are deeper feelings should be natural.
He literally never showed any kind of romantic feeling for the station to the hospital. Only now in the end they forced the 'she is going away and i miss her' when he literally mever missed her before even when she was even farther away.
The problem is not the 'dating is not marriage'
The problem is 'why the f he is wanting to date her NOW when he literally never wanted before now showd any sign of it.'
Also, the 'korean girl troope you used didnt seem to apply to the older actresses or even the other female friends, just this one specific.
Heck, the mother had a better romance arc than the MC.
This 'we wanted to see him have romance' is the biggest misconsection here, specially when you spend literally THE WHOLE STORY WITHOUT A SINGLE ROMANCE.
