He's dense in not realizing that Ji Yun is flirting with him to nail him as a boyfriend. He thinks she's just being friendly for old times sake.

In one ear only.

That Ji Yun is getting on my nerves. Also, why they like to make MLs in kdramas so very dense when it comes to women's flirtations?

I doubt it will be soon. Gotta keep the intrigue. But I’m thinking it’s FL’s senior at work who was bullied before her. He said she helped him a lot with something and it’s the only thing that comes to mind.

I hate these fake teaser reveals that quickly fizzle out as misunderstandings in the next episode. They are probably going to marinate ML in the dark until the end. Getting kinda annoying.

Who's the roommate of the helping guy at work?

Overall this drama was rather boring and repetitive. The ending was lackluster as well. Romance just didn't work, zero chemistry, shouldn't have even bothered. ML overacted too much, FL has the same "serious&worried" face in all her dramas. I liked the king best here.
A 7 at best to put it generously.

They're setting up the classic "confuse your lover, then accuse him of cheating with yourself" trope, lol.

Yea. Same problem. But to be fair, she felt rejected by him all these years after that event where she hurt her leg and saw him with her sister. And she never knew he was into her, he never told her. So she thought it was hopelessly one sided. She also had a ton of self hatred and low self esteem baggage to sort out in those 10 years, several of which she lived a total shut in. She probably felt like she didn't deserve him or something, so never got in touch with him.

He's a good guy, but I never liked romances that are "out of sight, out of mind". It's always either the existence of the other person is forgotten when they're not around anymore, but sudden interest gets ignited tenfold when he/she appears again. Or it's some nebulous pining that after many years never led anywhere. Makes it feel like it was all disingenuous, like feelings were never strong enough.
Here, for example, ML was never determined to get together with FL, he got on with his life for 10 years, barely being interested in FL's life, even though he could have learned everything from his mom. And FL never even knew he was into her all those years.

Not really. ML liked the sporty twin since school and he could distinguish between them back then. Now the sporty twin is pretending to be her smarty twin sister while going out with him on business and he's tripping, because the supposedly completely different character smarty twin acts like the sporty twin that he liked. The real smarty twin went back to take sporty twin's place at their hometown, she doesn't care about anybody, but maybe there'll be something with her boss at the strawberry farm.

Da hell? 🤣

She's being bullied by other coworkers after trying to report their bad behavior to the upper management.

Why not for the main leads? ML's backstory is the most heart breaking.

But FL who's got no education swapped her twin here just fine. Certainly there are professions out there where you gotta have education to do a certain job, but more often than not people applying for those blue collar "office plankton" types of jobs are actually overqualified with their education. Diplomas nowadays are a must for everything, companies require them without thinking whether the job actually demands it. Though every dumbass can get a diploma nowadays as well, just pay money. Only the most prestigious ones have value and even then when you can actually get a real job with what you've studied there. Not unheard of when people with some esoteric majors turn up ending working at McDonalds. And very often, as I've said above, universities teach too much unnecessary stuff to inflate credits value, wasting students time and money, and collude with each other to manipulate rankings.

Ha, I'm on episode 2 and this is actually pretty good :) FL is doing a great job here in double role as well. Though makes one wonder whether all that time and stress spent on education is really worth a damn when you start working for real. Imho, they teach too much outdated theory and unnecessary stuff just to fill up credits nowadays. When people start working for real they often have to learn everything from scratch at work.

I like the king most in this drama, his acting is the best here. Main leads are boring.

Which drama are you talking about? This one?
In this one the king wants to make a reform to abolish slavery. You can imagine that none of those noble class ministers would support it. The retired minister could have have helped him with that by returning and siding with him in court.

Exactly, gross little caviar dragons🤣

Well, just like a speck turning into a big shiny pearl. I dunno why they're eggs, eggs aren't as cool, imho.
