Do we know how long it has been? Have they even been dating 6 months? I get not dragging it out, but where is the drag?
Also, its hard to feel bad for the grandpa when he talks a big game about his son starting a real family. But at the start Taemu was ready to marry Hari's fake persona. And was even willing to let that fake persona play around. It didn't matter to him at first. He had a mission to get married to whoever showed up at that blind date...that's sure to create a loving family right?
Grandpa doesn't know how lucky he is that Taemu found Hari. If she had backed down then what? Would he really start pressuring his heartbroken grandson to marry again? A grandson that was initially ready to marry just anybody in order to get the grandpa to back off? Those old fashioned values could have ruined his grandson's life.
I think you're forgetting that the Grandpa didn't set him up with Hari's persona. He was setting him up with Hari's friend, and Grandpa already knew the actual backround of Hari's friend. And said friend is awesome.
Grandpa is old, he's worried that when he dies Taemu will be alone, and become an even colder person. So he wants his grandson to have a family, So that when he's gone, Taemu will still be cared for.
He also wasn't going to actually have them breakup if he has 108 other plans.

I did not forget. Intentions do not magically erase harm. Not that I really buy his sob story. Reread chapter 4. He's just pushing Taemu to get married, while claiming that it isn't likely for Taemu to marry for love. Like...ok, what good will a loveless, business arranged , marriage do for loneliness again?
Hari's friend has her own issues but that's another rant. Regardless of Grandpa's plans his grandson was about to marry anyone at the start. So let us say he did get married to the friend because he never met Hari and never fell in love with her.
Considering the chemistry she has with the secretary(they fell in love at first sight), what then? Would she refuse the marriage like Hari did? Just how far could Taemu go to pester her into a marriage(the same way he pestered Hari since he was determined to marry his blind date partner)? Would her father get involved and threaten to disown her unless she married for business reasons? Sounds like a great time, right?
The main couple doesn't have feelings for each other. And the wife is in love with the subordinate. Does she spend her life pining for the subordinate? Does she cheat? What if she gets pregnant with the subordinates child?
Or do they do their duty, coldly have sex, and have kids that neither of them really want with the other? One because she is in love with someone else. And two because he is just fulfilling his duty to his grandfather? Sounds like such a lovely household....
I don't want to hear about how old the Grandpa is when in the most recent chapter he admitted to faking being sick. He seems healthy enough to me. Also, considering how happy Taemu is at the moment with his girlfriend any worries about him becoming a colder person should be abated. All Grandpa had to do is be patient. And if he can't at least talk openly instead of tricking the girlfriend by pretending to be on his deathbed.. Like damn, is that too high of a bar to jump over? Not pretending you are gonna die in order to manipulate someone?
Grandpa can only control so much. And once again grandpa got super lucky. If he pulled this stunt earlier in their (brief) relationship I could see her running the other way. If she decided to give up on Taemu and leave what would the grandpa do to stop her?
Agree to disagree. Like which characters you like, hate characters you hate. I hope you enjoy reading this like I have, even if it's in a different way :)
I feel, there is a culture difference, as well as the elderly having traditional values
So It's kind of like : If you're not going to mary him, then don't waste my grandson's time. He wants her to "If you like it, put a ring on it" (Beyoncé)
That so bad?
