IMO, Taec entering the Military next year is just right timing for Shin Hye to focus on her blossoming career. With Shin Hye's personality, she's a go getter and achiever. She said it in most of her interviews about the things she hopes to do in the future. Settling down is one of her goals too but not too soon. By the time Taec is done with his military duty and his friendship with Shin Hye still intact, maybe he'll have the heart to pursue her...
Right now, I'm good with them establishing a really good friendship. Love will come later if it's really them in the end.
