Very realistic portrayal of real life and "patriarchy" in personal and corporate world
After watching all 12 episodes, imo this is a masterpiece drama written by someone who lived this. I would love to know who wrote it - Mr. Kim, Ms. Kim, the kiddo, or even Old or Young Nasty Boss when they got fired next LOL
It is a drama from real life - a patriarchal family: dad - a rotten spoiled insecure, total dick, rat in the corporate rat race; a doormat mom who knowingly spoils the dad; and son who has to cow down too and then carries that into his own love and business life where ppl are abusive to him and he clings to them ....
and the dad is the same abusive dude at home and work .... and eventually messed up so much that he lost his job and did even more - a lot more!!!!! - doodoo woodoo .... and .... everyone has to grow or else.
Dig your own grave then sink or swim drama.... . This sentence is well explained in review by Oppa_ https://kisskh.at/profile/oppa_/review/504894
This drama is a very old and cheesy and seemingly simple story, BUT with excellent acting and a tight script, and great filming, it is really a riveting story, IN MY OPINION. The issues - will the wife ACT on her full knowing that she created a spoiled brat out of her husband and gave up her dreams... will the son ACT on his own heart and opportunities or cave in to his dad... how will the dad take failing at work, being fired, being betrayed, living his whole life for that darn company and giving up his own dreams for it, to feed his family and "look good"
This is a story that will send any teenager, housewife, and a sole breadwinner, or a middle age worker, or laid off worker into frenzy, it really pushes buttons...
I think it is a masterfully done piece SO FAR where the issues are presented. I want to know how the issues will be SOLVED and then I can tell you if I like it or not.

Written after ep 3:
I dislike Mr. Kim, obviously, he is a real jerk, someone who is 100% unaccountable, selfish and insecure - a SELFISH SNOWFLAKE, a rat in the corporate maze, a person totally oblivious to others. He does try to win in that rat race, but he cannot - bc he is just a rat without any brains. He is a weak person without vision, goals, or life in general. And - who is there in it with him, egging him on deeper into that doodoo - is HIS WIFE.
I also dislike Mr. Kim's wife. She is a doormat, pushower and an ENABLER. She is the abused party and yet does nothing about it... and willingly continues.
At the start of ep 3, she clearly explains she *knows* she created this monster dad/husband/ Mr Kim bc she spoiled her husband
- and yet she is unwilling to do anything about it and STILL WILLINGLY CATERS TO HIM, and fully aware that she is spineless enabler, she keeps destroying herself to cater to him, she even quit her dream and her real estate exam.
MR. KIM's WIFE IS NOT NICE. SHE IS A MONSTER TOO. She is dumb and weak and allows Mr. Kim and everyone to just trample over her. AND THUS THE BAD SITUATION KEEPS HAPPENING.
Bc she is unwilling to stand up to her husband in an honest and gentle way, providing REAL support, not just mockery of his insecurities, bc she is unwilling and unable to keep an honest communication with her husband, bc she is unwilling to disciss any issues, bc she "feels pity for him" and thus lets him do whatver he wants, BC SHE IS A WEAK AND MURKY TOXIC PERSON, she has created a monster, a weak and murky toxic ENTITLED MR KIM IN CHARGE OF NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE, who is impacting so many peoiple in most negative ways.
Mr. Kim is a jerk obviously bc he is riding the patriarchy and using all his privileges, using his status as breadwinner and "man" and manager to dole it over his wife and kid and subordinates, he is an abusive patriarchal jerk. He kisses up and kicks down....
And the wife is responsible for never ever questioning him and thus promoting and encouraging him to continue to be abusive more and more.
So THE WIFE IS BEHIND ALL THIS. SHE ALLOWED MR KIM TO GET OUT OF LINE. SHE keeps throwing herself, their son AND Mr Kim under the bus, and indirectly, throwing under the bus everything and anything that Mr. Kim gets in touch with, e.g. all ACT employees and customers and public and youtube readers etc the entire country
MR KIM'S WIFE IS THE KEY TO SOLVING THIS SITUATION - AS LONG AS WIVES LIKE THAT EXIST, MR. KIMS WILL EXIST
****THE ROOT CAUSE IS PATRIARCHY. **** MR. KIM, HIS WIFE AND SON ARE STUCK IN IT.
AND THE WIFE AND THE SON ARE THE KEY SINCE THEY ARE THE ABUSED PARTIES AND SHOULD START THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM THAT ENSLAVES THEM.
MR KIM IS ALSO A SLAVE IN THIS BUT HE IS A SLAVE WITH PRIVILEGES SO HE DOESNT SEE IT AND HAS NO REASON TO BREAK IT DOWN... UNTIL THE SYSTEM BREAKS HIM DOWN TOO :) but then it is too late
THE WIFE IS A FULL 10000% SUPPORTER OF PATRIARCHY. She adores her husband as if he were some kind of God or a very small child who needs being catered to. That is not love, that is sheer toxicity.
The patriarchy trained Ms. Kim to think that way and the patriarchy trained Mr. Kim to feel so entitled.
AND IT IS THE FAULT OF MR AND MS KIM TO NEVER EVER QUESTION IT AND TO NEVER EVER ASK WHY THEIR MARRIAGE AND THEIR LIFE IS SO TRASHY UNHAPPY MEANINGLESS WHY IS MR KIM SO ABUSIVE AND SO CRUDE UNKIND, always putting his wife and kid down, always putting his employees down, always making other ppl feel miserable - bc he does not care how other ppl feel. BC HIS WIFE LETS HIM DO THIS.
and it is interesting how that will ruin her son too - that girl is clearly a bait and that Jealousy company is clearly somehow going to abuse Mr Kim's son, who is gullible and keeps failing for that girl and doing whatever she says. Those kids will somehow use Mr Kim's son as a scapegoat for something illegal they do, or as a guinea pig for something, but in any case, at the end he will be thrown to the curb and VERY HURT
And is funny how we find MR. Kim annoying but realy who makes Mr. Kim is HIS WIFE and ppl think she is "nice"
No, she is a monster bigger than him. He has no idea what he is doing. He is just misusing his privileged status. She KNOWS what she is doing and is unwilling to stop. She KNOWS she CREATES ENABLES AND SUPPORTS THE SPOILED CARELESS CRUEL SELFISH INSECURE MONSTER MR KIM
Writen after ep 4:
In this episode, the abusive situation starts to crack. The wife starts to bite back, Mr. Kim is forced to face his dream privileged world crumble down, and Mr. Kim's son starts to stand up to abuse at his Jealousy company too.
Well - keep on going :)
------
Since this is Netflix and is run by the West, most likely these crucial social issues will be exposed and then ... left at a standstill :) and even left with a hopeless message. .... From what I understand, Mr. Kim will be a little car repairman and happy with it.
In other words, the drama could leave at a dead end, making the "good people" be small and insignificant, and the existing patriarchy and corporate version of it going at full speed as before. Kinda hopeless :)
Let us see if this drama can provide a little bit more insight :)

Written after ep 12:
the last scenes of Mr and Ms Kim walking and finally having a lovey dovey relationship and talking honestly, lovingly, with consideration, discussing what they want and can do, ... that is the WIN of Kim family.
Their kiddo turned all right too. He was saved by HaNa's dad, who pulled HaNa away, finally. The kiddo has bad taste in women and kept clinging to a snake. I hope he grows up and lets go of her for real :)
and last but not least: Jae Pil from A Hundred Memories showed up, to confirm - the actor looks good when he smiles, and cannot act...
