For real. The end of Episode 11 definitely did not match the beginning of Episode 12. Bad form!

That is assault. He should be arrested and removed from the board of directors.

I hated that scene. The gall to say the ML is too handsome and rich for her daughter, after the same mom put all her eggs in one basket for the other daughter who was supposedly marrying rich, but got scammed instead. No mother should devalue a daughter like that.

It is stealing, as those who create the work are not compensated for their work through royalty payments. If you know anybody in the creative business they will tell you so. What you are talking about is an attitude of entitlement. Am I saddened when I can't watch something not licenced for my region? yes, very much so. But there is plenty out there available for me to enjoy.

Destined with you

it is all explained in the "secret deal"

I love the message at the end, as we get a glimpse of the hardships and suffering during the IMF crisis. Furthermore, Tae Poon is not poisoned by thoughts of revenge, but sees the big picture of people impacted by decisions, needing to survive by making a living. For him, an apology settles what is needed. I also like that success is a result of caring for people - as opposed to punching down and viewing competitors and something to be annihilated and eliminated. I really enjoyed this show, the message is was conveying on family, friendships, survival and love.

So grateful they perservered to bring this to screen after so much effort. Based on that, I think that also may have been why only 12 episodes, but they put so much into each episode, and the finale was heartwarming. I love the growth arc for the young people and the level of understanding reached between the Mom and the daughter - etc., These webtoon adaptations have for me been such a pleasant surprise this year - this and Study Group.

I think they set the table for a satisfying end. We know the dispute with Pyo Must be resolved and they left open some interesting scenarios.

the character of her father is the same way, stone faced. is this intentional from the director?

agree - keeping my fingers crossed.

I look at highly rated older dramas and some of these new dramas are as good if not better than higher rated older ones. At this point, the ratings are meaningless and just trust what resonates with you. It has been a wild year regarding ratings.

I like the setup for potential romance of the 2nd leads. Often the 2nd FL has the feel of getting a consolation prize, but the 2nd ML is a gem, and both have a chance for happiness. I hope it works out!

I love the depiction of teenage angst and anxiety - what stresses them and self esteem anxieties. As this is based on a webtoon it is true to the feel and depiction in a webtoon

my mutuals on Bluesky love it - way more than in shown here

Not like this show! LOL

Ratings are lowest with younger group. I am in old group and like this because the 80s and 90s were so tough and the story of struggle, bonds of family and coworkers persevering resonates in spite of some dramatic plot developments

Similarly my life. Our family business so hard to build and we had just moved onto a new bigger building a new lease when my father died. Nobody wanted to but the company and we had to reassure our customers we could still deliver products and services. My brother took over as CEO and my mother’s retirement was delayed. I can only hope that like our struggle and thanks to the loyalty of our family of employees we managed to endure and thrive the economy and opportunities improved. Let’s hang in there and wish gor goid things

looking at the preview for ep 13 showing more problems, I was hoping they start showing growth and success to a bigger company, instead of all of in in last 2 episodes - 15 and 16.

If he has to go to the bathroom, run away before danger approaches!
