Good show, great acting, a few storyline issues.

First off, I enjoyed this drama. I won't bore anyone with the obvious red flag issues or her insecurities which everyone already pointed out.

First off, I do understand why she wanted to keep the relationship hidden to begin with. She had just started in the company, and she needed to keep her job. She was young and not sure of herself, and she was infatuated with him. What was strange is that he worked there and obviously knew there was a company policy that you cannot date co-workers, so unless he wanted to call it quits with her someone would have to go. Who does everyone think would be forced to leave? So, it is understandable.

Second was the whole sexual misconduct thing. She was scared, traumatized, I get his anger, but he treated her horrible afterward because he felt slighted that she didn't confide in him. Understandable from his perspective, but at the same time where was his empathy? His girlfriend was just assaulted, and his first instinct was to yell at her. Not ok with that.

Third, her ex visiting her and taking her to dinner. She was not coming on to him, she was not looking for other options, but he meanwhile was wining and dining Yilia and that seemed to be ok.

Fourth was Tracy. She fought to get Flora a job, treated her well. Sided with her over the sexual assault and told the whole company she wanted them all to be safe and they would call the police. Great, but then turned around and gave Yilia the promotion because her family gave 250 million to the company. Yes, there were photos of the ML and FL that were leaked to the company, but no one told Flora the truth. someone owed her that. Whether it was the ML or Tracy. So, the company that Flora invested 6 long years to threw her under the bus because she kept her relationship private. Where is the lesson in that? If you don't have enough cash your job is not secure, and you might as well forget getting promoted.
