i guess I'm a 5 year old then😂

episode 15 rrally flew by. that's just how it is when youre really enjoying something, i guess. if there's one thing this show is good at, it's pacing. i was shocked when the episode ended cos it didn't feel like an hour at all.

weak character writing. great plot

I dont think I wrote any spoilers. I dont even think you wrote any spoilers 🤷. anyway, i get what you mean honestly. it's not even the first part of the drama. these problems spring up throughout the entire series. it's natural to want to see the protagonists not suffer so much. i think the reason I dont have a problem with it is because each new challenge they encounter is so unique that you can't guess what it'll be. yes, you know theyre gonna face a new obstacle soon, but you can never guess what shape or form that obstacle will take, or how they'll overcome it. That's kept me entertained so far. Plus, episode 14 was great relief. I'm glad you still managed to enjoy it, though🙃.

am i the only one who thinks the pyo kid is a complex villain 😂. I get that he's annoying, but he's certainly better written than the kdrama villains I've seen.

thank you. people who say that always sound so dumb to me. and people have said it to me A LOT😂

if you think the villain hates the ML for no reason, you clearly haven't thought well enough about what you're watching.

Tae Poong's ability to sacrifice himself for the business and other people was never portrayed as impulsivity, but as selflessness, and that's not something one should grow from. infact, it's one of his greatest strengths and a defining quality of his character. he already went through this with Miseon after she found out about his deal with the loan shark. his deep feeling and willingness to protect what he cares about isn't a weakness, regardless of how it clouds his judgement. it's one of the reasons I love his character. he's someone we should all aspire to be in that regard. he's grown in lots of other ways.

as for Miseon, I do feel like she's been sidelined a bit compared to the earlier episodes. but she did go through substancial growth in the Thailand episodes, and she's still really essential to the plot.

Sure they did😂

could you please explain

i think it's a lot deeper than that

yeah, i didn't like that. but they kept showing his connection to flowers every now and then. I think he'll settle down with it in the end.

please who's the fat cow? this is so vague

yeah, but we don't know, and that's why I can't wait

one or two accounts created to rate just this show is fine. when it's over new 10 accounts all reviewing within the same time period ....? hmmm yeah, they're fake.

all what youre saying has absolutely nothing to do with manipulation of ratings. if you're trying to deny that its happening, then you can keep living your fantasy. and by your own logic, if you didnt like my comment, you shouldnt have responded to it.

if you choose to be blind to what's right in front of you, go ahead. dont criticize me for having common sense and discernment. rating it a 10 was never the issue. manipulation of the ratings was. you said a whole bunch of nothing.

Unnecessary backstory?😂 this is a character driven show. maybe you're just a person who prefers plot over characters 🤷 basically, the "interpersonal crises" and internal too are the essence of this drama.

wow. i actually thought he was quite well written. if you think about it we'll enough, you'll see clearly his motives and how they utilised his inferiority complex.
i actually wrote this essay about him. maybe it'll help see him as more layered:

Despite all his running around and causing trouble, I actually think Pyo kid is a well-written villain. I don't like him, but I can't help but understand his motives. He's not your typical havoc wreaking bully. While unjustifiable, his actions do stem from deeply seated issues that force me to sympathize with him.

In the early episodes, his one-sided rivalry with Tae Poong is painted as some petty jealousy. Overtime, we get to see that it's so much more. His jealousy is driven by an inferiority complex he has towards Tae Poong. Pyo kid was clearly given a cushy childhood. He prioritises money even over human life and judges person's value based on their financial situation. Thus, he lacks basic respect and consideration for anyone who isn't within or above his economic bracket. A person with such entitlement can't stand to lose or not get what they want, but he's been losing to Tae Poong all his life, or at least that he said.

When Tae Poong was also rich, he could bear it. He hated it, but he still considered Tae Poong an equal, and thus, could allow it. But what he can't bear is losing to a now bankrupt Tae Poong who he considers less than himself. It feels insulting to him. He's disgusted with himself each time he loses to this penniless version of Tae Poong. He's becoming more and more desperate, and it's pushing him to the deep end.


Couple that with his emotionally and physically abusive father, the one person whose approval he seeks, constantly comparing him to Tae Poong. Watching Tae Poong succeed pushes him to compete, hoping to gain his father's recognition. But he's never been put in a situation to develop any useful qualities like Tae Poong has, and so he's inadequate and constantly failing. But he doesn't understand any of this and can't humble himself to learn, so he'd rather direct his efforts to destroying Tae Poong and hope that will be enough to prove his father wrong.

I wanna punch his face too, but I can't deny that this is solid character writing.

spoiler tag please 🙏
