Yes, true, bit still be respectful and don't look down on them and make them feel small. They've put a lot of hard work in and even won an international prize. What they needed was respectful guidance, which he was more than willing to give Dalmi, but not to Dosan.

We'll probably never agree on this ?. I still think HJP was the first one to disrespect them by looking down on them. Even, like someone else here said, to the point that he wanted to make Dosan out to be someone he wasn't. Trying to dress him up in nice clothes, giving him a posh car to drive. Making him lie about everything about himself. I think HJP is like this because he himself has some insecurities because of his past, to the extent that everything is about money and appearances. He also never helped them for their sake and wouldn't have done so if it wasn't for Dalmi whom he has a romantic interest in. And they know it. So why would they show him respect. No self respecting person would. Even during their last encounter, HJP just rambled off some instructions for Dalmi in the rudest possible way, telling Dosan to his face that he told Dalmi that he liked her. Trying to provoke him. No, I don't think he has any respect for Dosan and vice versa.

Saha is a lawyer though and she did go through the contract. Their relationship with HJP has broken down and both parties are at fault. Don't blame them for not speaking to him. Dalmi and maybe Saha were the only one's with somewhat good relationship with HJP. Maybe they could have spoken to him. Don't blame the others that they don't want anything more to do with him.

If Dosan knew that his company would be dismantled, he obviously would not have signed the contract. Saying that he lied, is just a lie in my opinion.

I do agree that his timing was off, But if HJP was that professional he would have shown up.Also, h never believed in Samsan Tech from the start and they know HJP is only helping them for personal reasons. Up until they won Demo day, HJP had no belief that they would amount to anything. His only interest was Dalmi.

HJP went to look for Dosan first, wanting him to lie for him and pretend to be someone else. Andthey needed an investor. They already had HJP on their radar and tried their luck. Remember, he didn't take any money in the end and still showed up to help HJP out.

?? still it's generating buzz and that's probably what writer intended by introducing 2nd lead first and making people fall for him before introducing ML. I'm totally in Dosan camp here, but in Dream high, up until the credits rolled I was still hoping for different outcome regarding love triangle ??. Sadly was not to be.

Still, he didn't support his team, whatever the reason. Also, Yong San's brother died. He'still mourning. Yes, his blame might be somewhat misplaced, but I don't blame him for thinking what he's thinking, seeing all the harsh negativity they've received from HJP.

Yes, they didn't respect him because from the start he told them to give up because they would fail. Respect goes both ways. Dosan loved HJP before he walked into their lives and trashed their dreams.

How was he aware? He asked them to take the whole company and Sa Ha went over the contract as well.

With respect, people who watch the show through one eye because of some misplaced loyalties should just stop. You've already missed half the show and don't know what's going on.

Yet, HJP has no patience with others' struggles even though he went through same.

I just don't understand the backlash, because I loved this episode. Up to point where things obviously went a bit south, but I think HJP can't just run in now and blame them for what happened with the contract. He's their mentor and he didn't even turn up for Demo day. He didn't even give them the time of day from the start, telling them they'd fail. He still only cares about Dalmi and not Samsan Tech. Eesh.

I don't feel jidal at all. While there's oozes of chemustry between Dosan and Dalmi. Don't really know what the uproar is about. I do like HJP, but for romantic bit I'm definitely leaning the other way.

Watching them being mad at each other for ages would have been extremely irritating.

Wasn't it HJP that's been treating DO San badly all the time? He"s not had one good thing to say to him. Should BDS jyst sit back and take his constant critical attacks, demeaning the hard work Do San and his team has put in in the most crass way, without even flinching.

Also, there's a pretty good reason for Do San to dislike HJP. HJP has been nothing but crass and disrespectful towards and about Do San. Even telling Dal Mi that he dislikes Do San. ?? Hopefully HJP will learn to tone down his crass, filterless way of communicating speaking to people who ask for help. It now even seems that someone killed himself because of it. Hopefully if growth is to be had for HJP, it will be to learn to treat people with respect, no matter who they are. Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for him, but this is how I see it

I absolutely adore this drama. Especially LDW. He just really shines. His acting is amazing and also the chemistry is pretty good. Others might disagree with me, but a show where the main leads had no chemistry recently, for me, was Record of Youth. Kim Bum also pretty great. But that's just me. Story getting better and better.

Is it just me, but I find the dialogue extremely clunky and unnatural. It's annoying because I like the story..

I kind of maybe slightly agree with you on Encounter, but his kisses in Reply 1988 were Hot!!

I think it has more to do with the directing. All the kisses in REply 1988 were hot. Go Kyung Pyo kisses very, very steamy too.

Also, the dialogue between male and female lead doesn't seem natural. I hate this fast talking thing that they sometimes have. I don't know, something feels off. Even the two mums. The way they talk and act are similar and weard. I think it's a directing thing, but there's something about it that I don't like.
