Yes, I know that's capitalism. That's the thing: I'm not a fan of capitalism, to put it mildly, or its practitioners like NGJ or Sooyoung, etc.

Sure, the layoffs thing is fair. But from what we've been shown, working there isn't great anyways, based on how the workers are treated and they're paid. Like in real life, most workers there seem to have three options: being badly treated and underpaid at NGJ's company, the same at some other company or not working at all. None of which are palatable choices. And as for the stockholders, as we saw from the board, most of them are just as wealthy as Go-jin and his other CEO nemeses. So again, not a demographic I'm gonna shed a tear for.

The ML built the company from zero... But now he's forgotten what it's like to be at zero, which is why he treats his employees and the needy like trash. He's forgotten his roots and treats his former fellow working class people horribly bc he's become rich now. Or maybe he was always an awful person idk. As for students not getting the best service... Isn't that the beauty of capitalism, or so I've been told, where there are a lot of other good services that would accomplish the same? Otherwise, Baek Edu or Ilpum wouldn't be such a threat.

Well, I guess? Banks and other massive corporations are absolutely entities I feel no sympathy for whatsoever. If anything, they steal from workers and farmers every day. So if it's gonna be rich man & his massive corporation's profit margin vs the needs of the workers, I'm gonna root for the latter.

And yeah, I feel bad for the team that worked on the study guide. No one deserves to have their hard work stolen. But they aren't losing money, the company is. You could argue that because of that the theft would be bad for business and make paying the team's salary difficult, bht I'm sure the CEO and the top executives can cut their own salaries instead of the workers'.

And, again, industrial espionage in order to survive financially still does not warrant harassment or being blackballed out of the industry. I'm def going to look askance at an uber wealthy CEO taking revenge on workers.

But we've seen firsthand on be treats employees. For secretaries, it's hell on earth. But even employees, it's either rudeness at best or, more importantly, awful working conditions at worst. The latter we've seen him show approval of, so I don't think Segi is solely responsible for them, if at all. Which implies he's either responsible got them existing or is fine with them being in place. Idk which is worse.

And as for the ways the employees get back at him... These are working and middle class people who are being exploited by a rich CEO in a notoriously conservative and hypercapitalistic society. The law and social mores are stacked against them. In such an environment, that must have seemed the only route available to them.

The only victim here would be the major corporation and their profits, tho. She was stealing study guides with the intention of selling to another company, I'm guessing based on what we've already seen done. The students won't be hurt since they'll still be getting the study guide, the company's profit would be. Which, yeah, I'm not gonna exactly shed a tear for.

Industrial espionage does not warrant harassment or blackballing to level of being driven to suicide. Or imprisonment 😬😬

Pretty sure the kidnapper is a diff person. Ppl are saying she's the stalker who pretend to be his fiancee and that low-key also makes sense. NGJ is beyond rude lol. This is verbally abuses his secretaries 24/7, is needlessly rude and cold to his employees and won't even let his employees leave on time or take the holidays they are entitled to. He IS the reason for everyone else's misery.

Also what axe does Sooyoung's secretary have to grind against Go-jin? Did one of his loved ones also commit suicide bc of NGJ?

I think the drama wants us to hate Go-jin; we've seen how they subvert or examine all the common kdrama tropes. This is the reality of the "cold but misunderstood CEO" characters we always see. They're nothing more than cruel, selfish, exploitative employers who treat their employees like subhumans or animals. And this treatment has consequences... Honestly I found Segi and the secretaries annoying or unnecessary before but now I see why they're here. And I feel nothing but sympathy for them and hope all of them end up in a good place by the end of this drama.

TL;dr: when the workers' and farmers' revolution comes, Go-jin, Sooyoung and shouty nemesis from the other company will be first to face justice...

I'm guessing she was also struggling financially or something else forcing her, like the Ma woman, so I can understand her actions. In any case, I think NGJ's behavior was beyond the pale and by his reaction, I think he knows what he did led to her death as well.

I was saying from the very start that NGJ led to Segi's sister death and I'm right and I wish I wasn't. I'm guessing his actions pushed kidnapper woman to attempting suicide or self harm as well? Go-jin isn't even an antihero, he's straight up a villain protagonist at this point. I know next episode we're gonna see some character development or at least reflection on his part, but still, the only person I'm rooting for is Lee Sina.

I KNEW IT!! I called it from the very start!! but I'm still in awe... Noh Go-jin really is an awful human being lmao. He and Sooyoung are suited for each other: two selfish ppl who ruin others' lives but never accept that they're in the wrong.

Fam.... I didn't even sub YouTube ni Musume in the first place, that was Luwuang 💀 we are two entirely different people. And the whole point of fansubbing is to make English subtitles only if there aren't official ones.

What did Go-jin do to Segi's sister? Did she die bc of him? Is that why he's taking revenge?

And what about that killer lady? They keep showing her but I want to know her backstory already!

I love how easily their misunderstandings get cleared up. For people who used to throw onions at each other, they're such a trusting, supportive couple. Hope this dynamic stays the same for our last few episodes. 🤞 Can't wait to see Sina and Gojin stand by each other and take on his enemies.

Sooyoung straight up decided to become a villain from this episode on. Is she even truly sorry? Bc she still doesn't even understand what she did wrong. like, contrast that with Sina. if Sina had been in her position, she would at least spoken to Gojin first instead of dumping him cruelly and vibing in America for 12 years.

Kinda not feeling it with Segi, his storyline seems draggy imo. The same kdrama corporate intrigue stuff we've seen done better elsewhere. I still want to know his reasons for revenge tho. But Segi is so damn charismatic, I'm taken by him despite myself. That scene where he was toasting with his conspirators and the camera zoomed in on him... I got chills. Badass.

The ex secretaries still have contributed nothing to the story at all. Well, they provided some much needed PPL this episode but other than that...

Thank God, can't stand her.

I want Akaso and Ai to be a couple in a romance drama, so much chemistry

Yamamoto Mizuki carried this on her back. I was more invested in this drama in the first few episodes but lost interest for the last couple of episodes: I'm ngl, it felt a little dull and lifeless.

You don't need SNS for d-addicts lmao, check the first link I posted above.

Don't get me wrong, I love Mirae but even though she's apparently 28, she acts like she's 2 decades younger lmao

She's pretty and cheerful, I love her and her smiles!

As much I already hate the ex - who seems selfish and self centred as lawyer bro says and proud of it? - I knew what I was getting into with a weekend drama, so I'm ready for the next 30 episodes of needless angst. But I just want Mirae and Hyunjae to date already. 😭😭 Seems like Hyunjae will need to confess first tho

Yoona and Soojae just vibing and minding their own business so far lmao. But I already see the storm clouds on the horizon with Mirae's brother and >!if you guys are right, the scam with the gym thing!<.

Tbh, I didn't like what lawyer lady did to poor dentist bro. Kinda gross tbh, and I felt so bad for him. Yeah, he kinda is a dolt but he seems like a chill guy?
