Splurge, not rewatchable

Dont get me wrong i hate the male lead aswell and what they were doing, but I'm not gonna lie i think i wouldve LOVED this if it was just focused on him, himself, and whatever he's doing.

I hate when they add a female lead, just for the purpose of having a female lead. (Or romantic interest)

And you can not tell me that's not what she was.

They made her manipulative w family problems just so people could sympathize w her, their was so many ways and could've made that money, yet she unsatisfyingly got the money she needed from her parents at the end (pissed me off) after constantly putting the male lead— including others in danger.

Story would've been way better w/o her, i would love to watch him try and get himself out of these situations, and Mr. lee being the one to help w/o knowing that he's his boss.. that would've been fire...

I SHOULD'VE WROTE TS!!

Anyway, on a less personal note, and on a more... "watcher" note... let me yap a bit🥹

Oh Jisoo : At times, i caught myself almost rooting for him when i knew that something was going to go wrong or when he was going to get caught. I think because I sympathized for him— simply because i believed his reasoning was better than Gyu Ri's. he had no one to help him, he was his own adult at such a young age, and he had to make way.. (Is how i saw it at first), but throughout the show, I realized he definitely wasn't much different from Gyu Ri.

He was after money and did everything for money— Just like her. He didn't care when others were gonna get hurt, but only when he was gonna get caught. At the end when Minhee was confronting him and he was crying begging for forgiveness, i genuinely felt for him (jk i called him submissive) but when he found out she recorded it all— before KILLING HER (yes KILLING), he tried to convince her he would turn himself in so she should delete the footage— I thought at first.. "Why would the footage need to be deleted if you're already gonna turn yourself in?" It didn't make sense to me.. then i realized, "HES DOING ALL THAT FOR GYU RI"

Like damn.. I knew he liked her, but ALL OF THIS IS BC OF HER?! The things you do for the girl you love... (even if she constantly manipulates and doesnt respect you)

He stole Minhee's phone while she was on the ground dying— at this point, I realized how badly i misjudged him— took the phone back to his place, packed his bags while smiling thinking hes getting away, then got stabbed by Kwakki or whatever hes called— then saved my Gyu Ri.

Also, why tf did he hire a minor that goes to his literal school?!!

In conclusion: I dont have the words to describe that I dont like him, but I understand him. he's a bltch but im not sure how i feel.

Seo Minhee: I felt so bad for her. She was still a cocky bully, but i couldn't help it.

I dont have much to say about her. she's just her.

But i genuinely believe she has some sort of personality disorder and definitely abandonment issues. (We know she has panic disorder blah blah blah)

A situation that flared me up a bit was when she got fired, went to claim her job "rights," and demanded to be hired back— but it was her fault she got fired. The client was on blacklist, and Mr. Lee was on his day off and she knew that. She did all of this for her psycho boyfriend.

Regardless, that's not my point. Why did she blame "uncle" when Mr. Lee got extremely hurt when she was the one that came that day, then wouldn't leave him Mr. Lee alone, which also caused Jisoo to be kidnapped. (Also, she wasn't even working before she got fired anyway?!)

She blamed everyone but herself for anything she did wrong. She's young, but she isn't incompetent 💔 still love her ❤️‍🩹

I feel like a part of her consciousness made her feel guilty, which is one of the reasons she stayed with Mr. Lee for so long (Dont sue me. it's just a show)
————
I dont even have a conclusion

This show is confusing to me— well.. I understand it, but i didn't understand why this and why that. Everything felt so slowly fast pased.

Tw: personal opinion
