People keep pointing out that the writers weren't expecting HJP's popularity but I can't fathom how they didn't…
I was a little annoyed at the first 40-50 mins or so of the episode. The whole time, they were painting HJP as a little petty child, a jerk even, while NDS is the cool, laid back, uber romantic stud.
But that 3-5 minute interaction between HJP and Grandma, that really made the episode worth watching, I could just ignore the rest of the episode and just focus on that part. I could feel myself in both Grandma's shoes and HJP shoes, it was heartwrenching.
lol, that's a wild theory. I think most likely someone that hasn't been introduced yet. My personal theory is…
Also plot twist!
We are led to believe that they are getting revenge on Sandbox, but what if that is a red herring, and they actually want to get revenge on WIJ.
Maybe WIJ did something to that man on the bridge who was the twins brother, and the twins decided to join in to get revenge on WIJ.
And since WIJ is partnering up with the bank, the twins could place some ransomware into the banks system demanding money, and WIJ will get blamed. Thus we see fall from grace...
I don't think people here gives him excuse though, but his background gives people more ground to understand him…
I totally see where you are going with this.
But the fact of the matter, the writer and director didn't do a good job to show these things.
I think a lot of this has to do with NDS facial expression. He doesn't look like a guy who let's people push him around. I really wish he had stuck to his original haircut and look after the lie about him being a hotshot was revealed. If nothing better, it would have shown that NDS went back to the old Dosan. Yes, I know NJH looks more handsome this way, but it's not doing him any favor relating to the majority of the audience. This new look just doesn't' scream helpless sheep at all.
I'm sure the writer wants to portray NDS being bullied, condescended by HJP, but it's just not coming off that way. In fact, the way it's written, it seems to be the opposite. Fail from the writer and director here IMO.
And as some had say, the writer's intention to let the audience fall in love, or empathize with NDS isn't working out too well. Something about the way he is written doesn't lend to this.
I mean come one, no need to trash WIJ to make SDM look better. Write better script please!
So your saying, a show where the man is a misogynist should be ignored because he is ML? That is some interesting logic there.
When the dad found out the truth, and just walks away. Wow, I could feel exactly what the dad was feeling.

But that ONE HJP and Grandma scene near the end, DEFINED this series. The complexity, depth, and pain of Grandma and HJP relationship is so powerful.
NDS is so entitled...
