People are giving their reasons on why they prefer his character better than the other character, NOTHING is wrong with that. Your own post even trying to put words on people's mouth how your ship is superior, so how that makes you're different than the people you're trying to degrade?
Also, sometimes people had trouble with remembering the name of the characters so they use the actor's name instead (if you're referring to the post below), that doesn't mean they're bashing the actors, just saying

Degrading the actors? Where? I don't see that, all I'm seeing is people giving their opinion regarding the characters.
I don't see why people can't do that, everyone is entitled to their own opinion & everyone had their own preference, why can't let them do what they want to do?
I find it inappropriate how you're trying to portray a "certain image" of people who's liking HJP character.

Because Dal Mi is bluffing to her sister In Jae whom she didn't get along with after their parents got divorced, that she has started a business together with her long term Penpal NDS & that NDS is currently become her boyfriend too. Since Ji Pyeong & In Jae knows eachother, In Jae would know it rightaway that Dal Mi is lying to her if Ji Pyung shows up as himself hence he ask NDS as his replacement to help Dal Mi. And part of it because JP didn't want to crush DM's ideal first love image, who support her with the letters during her hardship during childhood.

Ikr, lmao, i don't get why his one time mistake when he was a kid was blew out of proportion unnecessarily when morally it's even more wrong if grandma took the money knowing it's not even hers.
He is wrong for not asking grandma's permission we all know that as very well himself.
The fact is he never use grandma's money & that's the whole point, idk why is that even so hard to take.

Working environment is harsh, that's reality.
Cleverness in work is not all the things that matters.
People had to be tough to survive.
JP is the right mentor for DS to bring out the best from him, challenge him for the better.

Do San is not a CEO material, there I said it. JP told NDS that he should hire a new CEO if he want to pass the audition.
It was proven to be right, he didn't passed the CEO screening, and they would have had to return if there's no CEO asking them to team up. Now Samsan tech doing better because they change the CEO to Dal Mi.

Do San is a great IT but he doesn't have a vision, strategy nor capable enough to be a CEO. He wouldn't notice it too if JP didn't point that out to him, that him as Samsan's CEO is basically the reason why they're stucked & wasn't able to get the investment they needed. It's hard for NDS to take but he acknowledge that JP was right soon after he see Dal Mi's presentation. That he'll never able to do it like Dal Mi's (you can see it from his expression).

Because flaws are what makes human feels more human & people find it more easy to relate too, not so unearthy. Though not actually means they shd be despicable as a person, lol.
Y'know the kind of flaw with charm ;p

I actually like Dal Mi more on ep 5 so we shall see.

Don't twist my words. You clearly had your own presumption/ prejudice, it was never my take because I clearly said that he was bitter & full of thorns thus he's not only a good boy to me, he had flaws too just like any normal human being, I love him for that and he was never perfect,

But my take from your argument that you don't seem to like that I called him a good boy or even dislike seeing people loving him, why it's irritating you much?
I did call him that because he's a good boy to me, why? Because he has his guilt, shame when he know that he's wrong. If he wasn't a good boy he probably could just simply being ignorant, for example like In Jae now is.

My point is, no need to blow his "one time mistake" out of proportion as if he is the biggest sinner on earth. Don't accuse him for using grandma's money (read: stealing) when he's not.
What he did wrong is he took grandma's kindness for granted & didn't asked her permission to use her account.

But for God's sake, he was a child back then, most child (even adults) took their parent's love and kindness for granted. Yes grandma's is not his parent but she is like his family figure he never had. And clearly he know that he is at wrong, had his guilt & try to payback his debt. What do you expect more from him?

No need to bring legal matters which never was a context in this drama, it's irrelevant. Like you said, if I put my money on my sister's account, I invest my portion of money while leave her portion behind then I got a gain from mine. Legally the gain was hers eventhough it's my money & i'll never be able to ask her legally to return my money, sure. But morally speaking, if my sister took that gain & withdraw all the money for herself then it means she is stealing from me & it will hurt me (just like HJP thought Grandma did to him), any legal POV doesn't matter.

Thank you ❤

He's also the main male lead at the short 4 ep drama titled You Drive Me Crazy

Well you keep saying that he's using grandma's money when in fact he never was and I just clarify that. But the way you keep insisting he use grandma's money is looking like you want to keep putting him under false image.

True, HJP is at fault for not asking grandma's permission & he could be charged for that. But you can't say that he use her money when he never was. It was his money to begin with, that he deposit under her account. He made the investment on his part, he earned the capital gain from buying the stocks he choose to buy from his very own money (even if it was through Grandma's account). You can't say the gain from the stocks was Grandma's money either even if it was under her account when she never did the investment herself.

Legally speaking yes Grandma's the owner of the account, but we all know that those money came from the investment does not belong to her because she never earned it herself. What's belong to grandma is the interest from the saving account, but not the capital gain from the stocks.
You can count it as well how much money belongs to Grandma & how much money belongs to HJP, using the interest percentage of the saving account or bank statement & investment report, which I think exactly what grandma did.

I had nothing personal against you, the way you're bringing NDS was so out of the blue & your point was unclear to me before.

Ehm no, when you buy stocks, you can decide how much money you want to invest, you don't need to put all the money on the account as your investment, the account is just a mere requirement needed to be the source to buy stocks & transferred the income . If his investment fall then he will loose his stocks equal to his money he put for investment but not the money on her account so it's not relevant.

And lol, why do you have to bring Do San in this matter? Just irrelevant. No need to bring down HJP into bad light just so you can put NDS into a good light.
Because if you put it that way, I find Do san is arguably be a good boy when Dal mi is in the context, but I don't want to prolong the conversation as it will have no end.

What? NO! it's nothing like that, you misunderstood it. He NEVER USE grandma's money. He only use her account to put his money (given by the orphanage+his winning competition money) on her account since he's still underage to open his own account.
Then he invested his part (this is quite plenty amount since it's enough for him to rent a place, remember?) to buy the stocks which later got multiplied by alot. The gain was belong to him not grandma. He never take grandma's money. Later, grandma realize this, withdraw all the money, gave her part to Dalmi's father & return what belongs to HJP to HJP.
The money was never grandma's to begin with. HJP feeling guilty & shameful after misunderstood grandma for being greedy and give all his hard earned money to her son (to be fair, the scene was actually really felt like that & easy for people to misunderstood, although he shd hv know grandma's better, but he still a kid with alot of things to learn), so he left.

But he's a good boy, he remember all the good deeds Grandma has given to him and feeling regretful for not being able to help grandma because he wasn't there besides her when she was struggling. If only he didn't misunderstood grandma at that time & forcefully had to leave while swallow his pride like that, I believe he will share his money to grandma as well.

Since I see people being confused on what "debt" Ji Pyeong has for grandma, I think I'll just share my take on that here:

Grandma gave him a shelter to live, she welcome him wholeheartedly & genuinely care for him, an orphan who had no one to depend on (who still bitter & full of thorns after being forced to leave the orphanage). They're practically strangers when they met, but she trusted him & gave him her place to live & even lent him her bank account.
She gave him her warm embrace, like a family he never had.

JP might actually lost everything if Grandma didn't took him in, because his money is even not enough for him to eat if he spent his money to rent a place to live. He can't even afford to buy Grandma's corndog >> I think Grandma noticed this.
Only with Grandma's help, he's able to multiply his money enough for him to live & become what he is right now.

That's why he said that his debt to grandma can't be paid off by money, because she gave him her heart, kindness & trust when he was a nobody.

She gave him a shelter to live, she welcome him wholeheartedly & genuinely care for him, an orphan who had no one to depend on, when actually they're practically strangers when they met, she trusted him & even lent him her bank account. She gave him her warm embrace, like a family he never had.

JP might actually lost everything if Grandma didn't took him in, because his money is even not enough for him to eat if he spent them to rent a place to live. Only with Grandma's help, he's able to multiply his money enough for him to live & become what he is right now.

So yeah, that's why he said that his debt to grandma can't be paid off by money, because she gave him her heart & trust him when he was a nobody.

Sorry, I just want to correct something regarding your sentence "jinpyeong had the stock profits from grandma's money"
Actually it's nothing like that, it was never grandma's money, it was Ji Pyeong's own money that he received from the orphanage & from winning competition, it's just he's too underage to open his own account so he put his money on grandma's account then invested his portion on stocks. Later, grandma withdraw it all, gave her part to Dalmi's father & return what's belong to JP to JP.

I agree, but actually we could also choose to see the white lies from grandma are the way for:

NDS to find his business partner & mentor to achieve the goal he's been look forward for so long/dreams

HJP to find his life partner & family

SDM to find her supportive friend, partner & way for proving herself as well achieving her & her dad's dream

So, everyone will find something for themselves. I know it will be still heartbreaking for NDS, but he'll still have his friends & family's support & they will always be there for him. Sometimes we can't win everything in life too.

I know that the story is already good as it is & I actually like that they're not focusing too much on the romance part but also mentor mentee dynamics, friendship, business theme, etc & I find it refreshing.

But I can't get this thing out of my mind, imagine if they could breaking the rules that the main leads have to be ended up together romantically, like, despite Dal Mi thought that the author of those letters is NDS, she fell for the real author which's HJP himself instead, so we know that her feeling is real & the dilemma will be within herself not knowing she fell into the right person (especially with how they kept prolong the lies rn).

So HJP could find that one person who understand the better of him.
And NDS could achieve his goal & become successful with Dal Mi as co-partner & HJP as mentor.
So even if Grand Ma might left them behind (I really hope not!) She already left her legacy & no one will ended up lonely.

I find this drama will be more meaningful that way rather than the usual formula how the main leads shd be ended up together & the SL getting sidelined and serve no purpose other than being a tool for the main leads to get together.

Well, this is just my two cents so I hope no one will get triggered.
I know that the chance are slim, but hey, one could hope, right?

Am loving this drama but they adding too much lies, one with the letter, then the swing & now the grandma, I'm scared TT

I knew they'd prolong the lies further, arghh how frustating & the lies goes even deeper with saying them being sibling like, lol, aigooo Do San-yaa

I hope the grandma will be okay TT, don't take her away from Dal Mi & Ji Pyeong, show!!

I encounter this person's post on other site & really like his/her post so if they don't mind I'd like to copy paste them here:

"up til now, Dosan has friends’ support (didn’t pay them for two years) and parents’ support (investment). In entrepreneurship, while these kinds of support are good things, they can be poisonous as people may be not motivated enough to work to their hardest to success. I think this is the case of Dosan. He always has his sandbox and HJP is the one to challenge his idle view about business startup. Remember HJP is called Gordon Ramsay in his field, so he says harsh words. He’s not evil kind of person. It’s a life-changing moment for Dosan to meet HJP. "
