as bad as the CEO of Pandora was, there was a statement that was an oblique criticism of humanity, and of idol fans in particular - people love a story where someone from the bottom perserveres and becomes successful. However, what they like even better is when someone falls from the top to the bottom, and they get to throw stones at them.

Even when she then no longer has a job, her husband doing housework and she is lying on the sofa, barely enough courtesy to lift her foot out of the way of the vacuum cleaner. Even her husband was concerned with the bad stories,and she doesn't give a damn until finally her kid calls her. Her character is such a bad wife, mother, boss and mentor. Just over the top bad. At first I sympathize with her being pushed out of the business, but at this point I don't care. They may try to have a redemptive arc, but wow, it is really late in the game for that.

The ending of Episode 8 vs beginning of 9? Are we supposed to forget he requested to have her manage him? My dislike for FL has gone from bad to worse. So many vile people in this drama. Also how people can be swayed by bad faith journalism out for gotcha stories and generating outrage for profit. Such things can and do kill people. So disgusting.

he was adorable in the drama as the lead in The Story of Park's Wedding Contract. Having his hair pulled back and hidden makes him look older, having it down he looks much younger. He was the Crown Prince in Under the Queen's Umbrella.

She kept the fruit flies secret too saying that they had to be hidden or destroyed Her man cheating on her is not pertinent as to her breaking some rules and enforcing other as commander she is in charge but as ML says, inconsistent

Says no alcohol, but takes a sip?

Eve is so dogmatic it drives me nuts.

It seemed like it was set up in his home. The seating arrangement looks like what we often see as where executives meet face to face.

as a child I lived in a small town. Many of my relatives were prominent in the community. Eyes were on me all the time so when I got home or saw relatives they would say "a little bird told me that..." everything I did was known. I was only 6 but I wanted to kill that effing bird. It was horrible and my mom made my dad move the family to the west coast to get away from all the gossip. So I get it.

I agree with the analysis, but at the same time, telling someone that they should not have lost weight really hits a nerve. She is on the verge of really destructive behavior, and I am not on board with that in spite of her feelings, as the ML goes through so much pain, only to have her stir it up again. They both have terrific 2nd leads, and it would be great if this drama was the right way to show how to move on from a first love. She is right to not to move back, it is wrong to want him so that he would have to leave what he has built for himself if it games out that way.

Ugh. I do not like FL character. I get the pain and trauma she endured in that small town but her stalking the 2nd FL was also predictable and uncomfortable. I disliked What Comes After Love for the same thing

Not a fan of ML waiting for FL, then gets rejected, told to move on, yet if she sees him with another person, she seemed jelous. Vibes of What Comes After Love where 2nd ML got jilted. I'm watching, but I am not warming up to FL character (who I adore as an actress) We shall see how this develops.

I am having difficulty with figuring out who allowed the trainees to go to the nightclub with the "investors", because if current management at that time allowed it, they should be held accountable. Even if FL was in US at the time, is she not responsible for protecting her trainees? I would be angry too if that happened to a family member. This gives me pause and makes me reluctant to warm up to the FL. These companies have so much control over trainees - overseeing practice, what to eat, living quarters - this is a glaring hole in responsibilities to protect their talent.

Very sweet episode, which really moved this drama forward in a pleasing way. Glad they are beginning to soften up the FL, and hopeful for a possible relationship for 2ndFL as I really like her.

I like this drama in general, but the final scene is problematic. If it is not cool for a man to kiss a drunk woman, the reverse is problematic too. Especailly any dynamic - in the office - where one is dependent on the other for thier job. I am sure this will be ironed out in the drama, but having worked for a fortune 500 company, this would be a huge no-no. This does not "cancel" the drama for me, I anjoy the drama series, just posting my thoughts on the one scene.

The antidote is to push back. If such moves by them backfire, the effort is worth it.

I am enjoying this. I think soon we shift into the "Gossip" portion of the drama title. There was tension, comraderie, side plots of greed, resistance and all sorts going on. Each episode has a lot going on and they use every minute. Sorry others judge it so harshly, but I am enjoying it so far. Special effects are well done too.

Have you seen Pachinko?

Kind of screwball humor in the mode of Everything Everywhere all at once or a Fish Called Wanda. The extreme measures a chaebol goes through to preserve his bloodline - loved the contempt toward the "space tourist" until he proves his value. This is fun, nice and different.

What a great start - tons of farcical humor, amazing stacked cast, visuals off the hook!
