It sounds even funnier than the fake wedding in Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol (2020) !

I hope that after some self-reflection Han Ji Pyung will start to be even more careful when expressing criticism. He already kind of showed it while dining with Dal Mi. Not because I think he has something to do with San's brother suicide, but because he has to understand why he is doing this job, just like In Jae did.
It's obvious that he's not cold blooded and doesn't only care about the money, even when he acts like so. I don't dislike him being realist, but if he values immaterial things too (and we know he does) , he needs to put that in the equation when dealing with working decisions. I think he understood that when he reflected on the way he valued the app before and after he knew about grandma's condition.
Also he needs to realize the power of "labeling theory" and the fact that not everyone reacts with self-improvement. Some people can get demotivated and have their self esteem ruined. When dealing with criticism you surely have to be strong enough for this industry, able to handle many "no"s before you get successful, BUT on the other hand, as their mentor he had to encourage them from times to times, prize them for their improvements and not only scold them for the wrong things, deeming them a 100% failures, because human beings also need external motivation. It's similar to the way his father treated Do San. A mentor, a father is supposed to believe the person they are giving advice and SUPPORT at least has a possibility. As much as they follow their need to have success, people also want to avoid failure (some more than others). In fact some might find it stimulating to deal with difficult problems (over-strivers and success-oriented people), but others may avoid them or use them as an excuse for the failure (failure avoiders/acceptors). A mentor should help balancing the fear of failure with some hope not only with the need to be successful.
I think he needs to find a balance between being rational and pragmatic and being caring. Letting more people inside his life could help him with that. He ignored his love and gratefulness for grandma, and never visited her for 15 years! Maybe now he will let himself have someone he cares about in his life, even if that means living with the terror to be abandoned again...

Maybe Alex's influence mixed with the corruption of money, success and absence of his friends will indeed change him for worse. Who knows?

Well, he's the sacrificing one. That would be his ultimate sacrifice for her: giving his life so that she could catch her father's "murderer", thanks to face recognition technology hahahahaH

In Jae is getting better tho. Agree with the rest. Another masochist here.

I agree, he wasn't ready to accept that, even angry that yet another time Ji Pyung was right and they can't do something without his help. He didn't have the right to tell Grandma's secret. That was really wrong and manipulative indeed. @Luke I'm sorry to say this under the discussion what is supposed to be for Do San's fans only. I don't hate him or anything, just thought it was an interesting topic. Btw I don't really like Ji Pyung either, he needs to become a better person as well.

To be fair there are scenes out of character for almost all of the characters, especially Dal Mi and Sa Ha.

He did look over it, but it was already signed. How could he know if they kept that a secret from him? True tho, it was weak plot wise, especially for all the team members going somewhat out of character and becoming suddenly dumb and arrogant enough (well, they kinda were already) to not ask ANYONE (not even other mentors) about such a big deal. Especially since it wasn't the first time they dealt with scam (the first time their now mentor saved they *ss., remember?).

Hi. I think you wanted to write this reply not here, but here: https://kisskh.at/51909-sandbox#comment-4563583

Yeah, true that.

As I see it, maybe she saw that the last time In Jae really wasn't jealous, but was worried and gave her an advice and was willing to help (like that time with the pills. They could have talked it out that time, if not for Do San. He also interrupted Ji Pyung the time he was about to tell her the truth about the letters...it's always him. SO annoying.)

I've talked about this before and someone said he shows signs of anxiety. Check the discussion if you're interested: https://kisskh.at/51909-sandbox#comment-4563099

I don't say he needs therapy, because I already said that. :°°D

Nam Do San knew he needs help for the app and he knew Ji Pyung wouldn't say no because of the feelings he has for Dal Mi and Grandma. He treated him rudely and punched him , because he knew he would help him anyway... know who else does that? Abusers in domestic violence. They think something like " I can hit her/him, because he /she will stay with me anyway regardless. The analogy gives me goosebumps, but isn't it similar?

Thinking about it..I know what Nam Do San doing THAT to Han Ji Pyung reminds me of. (spoiler below)

I have the same problem with her character. Guess the SK is not that ready for strong and intelligent female characters. They even had them to become suddenly dumb while signing the contract (especially A WHOLE LAWYER didn't see the red flag, but Ji Pyung did, because HE'S A MALE. REALLY?!)

strength, boldness and absence of conscience. It's not like he didn't knew he needed his help for the app before hitting him. He knew he loves Grandma and Dal Mi , so he wouldn't say no and would help him with his app no matter what he did to him and how rude he would be. Quite manipulative, actually.

Yes, very co-dependent , still puts others desires first since childhood. It must be painful to always do what others want to, not you because you are scared to disappoint and lose them. I feel pity for him, because I understand that (even tho I'm more like Han Ji Pyung in that department: you can't lose someone if you don't have no one to begin with...so we keep on pushing people away...).

I unironically think Do San needs to get a therapist for his childhood traumas and anger management. Hopefully he will get treated in the USA, since they are more open there about mental problems than in SK. His mood swings are alarming. It doesn't look ok to be so calm, gentle, quite and shy one moment and the other scream and assault people like he did with In Jae's stepfather and later with Han Ji Pyung (who should not have gotten involved as a more mature person Imo, but maybe he used to fight as orphan and metaphorically in business idk.). It's a bit similar to the way Moon Gang Tae was at the beginning, because he kept on repressing his true feelings and emotions.

uncomfortable if you don't want to become an unmoving statue so the phone won't fall and also bad for the skin because of bacteria. That Lancôme addict Dal Mi should know that. XD
