I get that Taesoo's attitude lately has been frustrating and that it's taking a huge toll on their relationship, however, I still think it does not merit a breakup. If the problem involved cheating, or a physical, emotional, and psychological abuse then I can say that Sooha should dump his ass. However, this is not one of those issues. Taesoo is going through a state of depression and anxiety. His self-esteem has been blown to pieces and he isn't being given time to emotionally and mentally compose himself what with Mr. Hwang's dad and Sooha's mom showing up with their obsession with the marriage thing between their kids right after he broke his working hand which came after what happened with Doh. When you are in a relationship, this is one of those times when the depth of your patience, your commitment, and your understanding is tested. How far are you willing to extend your patience and understanding for the person you have chosen to be committed to when he is having a hard time and is being very difficult? How deep would your empathy and love run when the person you love has changed into someone different, someone weak and vulnerable and angsty, because he has been backed into a wall because of what he's been going through?
Taesoo had been very attentive, caring, and understanding towards Sooha when they started their relationship. When it was Sooha who was having a difficult time and shut Taesoo off (although it wasn't the same level with Taesoo's breakdown now), Taesoo stayed patient with her and listened until she opened up to him. I actually admire Sooha's patience this time, and her resolve to stay with Taesoo despite him being utterly difficult because she knows that Taesoo needs her now more than ever. That her abandoning Taesoo would probably be the last blow to both his mind and heart and Sooha doesn't want Taesoo to get even more depressed than he already is. This is what it means to be committed to someone. To stay not only when it's easy, but to have the resolve to stay when it gets difficult, when your partner who had been the pillar of your relationship crumbles and you have to put him back together, patiently, because he needs you to, now more than ever.
Although the situation is absolutely frustrating, I still root for both Taesoo and Sooha, and I hope they get through this, scarred and all, but stronger together.
