Episode 1: Love the flirting/sexual harassment from the first moment they met. lol Where are all the MDL Little…
i have a lot to say about that
1) this is fiction. people should learn to separate fiction from reality. what we see as "sexual harassment" in reality doesn't have to be seen as "sexual harassment" in fiction
2) boss-employee romances happen, and they work out sometimes. people spend a tremendous amount of time at work. in close proximity, there’s a chance there are going to be employee-employee or boss-employee relationships. they say, "there's a power dynamic." every relationship has a power dynamic. as long as there's trust, communication, and vulnerability from both partners, as long as the boss doesn't abuse their power, power dynamics aren't unhealthy or toxic
3) there are "straight" stories where an employee ends up with their boss/manager. a business proposal. my shy boss. what's wrong with secretary kim, her private life, the secret life of my secretary, hotel del luna, etc. why are they popular? people are okay with them and their power dynamics. they don't call it "sexual harassment." they should be as okay with gay office romances and power dynamics
4) when did flirting become sexual harassment? what is wrong with people? the boss made the first move. he knows what he wants. do we want 100 episodes of them signing written agreements to flirt and getting cold feet?
In the middle of 11 ep. Are they gonna make this minor date an ajumma? Their interaction makes me uncomfortable.…
they won't take that route. the older lady asked kang san to use honorifics. she understands it's weird and problematic for an older person and a minor to get that close
Wait, I saw only 2 men -- the boss and Lee Jun's friend who got him the job. Who's the third?
they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😉 everyone has their beauty, but not everyone sees it. there's something about jun mo (jun)? his eyes. his playfulness. he's comfortable in his perfect imperfection, and that attracts other men
i'd have loved to see the 3 suitors together. they are good-looking!
Wait, I saw only 2 men -- the boss and Lee Jun's friend who got him the job. Who's the third?
the man at the end of episode 3. he was watching jun mo (jun)'s idol interview. you can see him in the teasers asking, "does it smell good" and touching jun mo (jun)
both editing and translation are questionable.one moment he was at his place and then suddenly he was notand when…
jun mo (jun) said he forgot to return the blue shirt he had on, and i was confused. maybe, 1) hyun woo (jun) offered him a similar shirt to avoid arousing suspicion. he knows jun mo (jun) is shy. he doesn't want people gossiping behind his back on his first day at a new job, 2) jun mo (jun) made a drunken mistake and forgot he didn't change his shirt in front of his boss, or 3) editors were drunk?
please watch. it's a light and fluffy romcoms with average drama, the chemistry is fire, I'm actually thinking…
what "chemistry?" they don't have any and they aren't "dating" irl. they've said they aren't. people should stop overdosing on low-quality celebrity gossip
jun mo (jun) said his ideal partner is someone who smells good. hyun woo (jun) smelled himself to make sure he…
your interpretation is correct. he's sure that his feelings were reciprocated, but it's been a long time since then. he wants jun mo (jun) to fall back in love with him. to do that, he should smell good
i did not understand, when LJ was talking about warm scent, and interviewer asked him if he is referring to his…
jun mo (jun) said his ideal partner is someone who smells good. hyun woo (jun) smelled himself to make sure he has what his childhood sweetheart looks for in a partner
How come 3 people have voted for all epsidoes ?? Is it released somehwer please tell 😭😭😩
the other episodes weren't released. someone rated them an 8, and i rated them a 10 to neutralize the effect of that rating. it's sad that the rating still dropped to a 7.7
"god doesn't punish the devils. i will put an end to this myself"
kai/ha neul looking up at the sky and cursing "god" was a powerful scene. this "god" stirred things up to the point he should beg for forgiveness. we know he won't. "god is dead"
our male lead lost everything. his identity. his family. the older homeless man who had his back. his brother is so close, yet so far. he's had enough. his still-beating heart is clenched in his fist. there's blood running down his arm, and he can't let go. he's finally embraced the darkness that slept in him for 27 years
if romance was necessary, it should have been between won chang (hyuk woo) and byeong kyu (so moon). i'll explain why
1) they look good together
2) it'd have been the perfect enemies-to-lovers story. the times won chang (hyuk woo) leaned in, laced his fingers into the base of byeong kyu (so moon)'s hair, and pulled to assert dominance could have been useful in bed
3) they bring out the best in each other. won chang (hyuk woo) helped byeong kyu (so moon) see some bullies from a different perspective. won chang (hyuk woo) had strong ties to toxic "family" members and delinquent peers. he was more likely to lash out in school. he intimidated, made fun of and ridiculed other students, because he was intimidated, made fun of and ridiculed for as long as he can remember. byeong kyu (so moon) helped won chang (hyuk woo) put his past behind, spend time with the right people and practice better coping mechanisms for stressful situations. he could have loved him to make up for the times he wasn't loved
4) byeong kyu (so moon) has a soft spot for won chang (hyuk woo). he defended won chang (hyuk woo) from bullies, put his head on his shoulder, carried him to his bed and slept by his side
5) byeong kyu (so moon) introduced won chang (hyuk woo) to his "grandparents," and the "grandmother" instantly approved of him/gave her blessings
"... you remember this scar? i only ever did what you told me to do. my body was still covered in bruises"
chung shin's scar signified something much more serious than a scar. it was a serious form of child abuse, with severe consequences for his future well-being. he was a survivor of catastrophic head injuries and head-to-toe bruising who felt the need to receive comfort from his abusive caregivers and employers. he had noone else. they hired him as their hitman and abused his trust
he's a nice person. he cares about kids and wants them to have the childhood he didn't have. he didn't let the spirits within himself or others mess with kids. i would have given chung shin a second chance to grow up in a better home
"... but i didn't turn out that way" or "... but so moon didn't turn out that way"
it's easy to compare them, isn't it? there are no standard response types to trauma. everyone differs in how often they experience traumatic events or how they respond to those events. so moon had his "grandparents." they always supported him. he grew up in a better home. who did chung shin and hyuk woo have? toxic "family" members who looked down on them? or toxic "friends" who wanted their money and power? they can't be compared like that
let's not put all the blame on chung shin and hyuk woo. their abusive "families" and "friends" were semi-responsible for how they turned out

whatever it may be, the flirting makes up for it
say what! 🤯 are they brothers? i couldn't find anything about that!

did i mention that they look good together?

i meant that i skipped their scenes as soon as they happened, especially in the last 3 episodes
