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.

just watched episode 14 and i can't explainy shock. I simply didn't see any of that coming at all. and now I can't wait for the final 2 episodes.

They all have their flaws 😂

And you should do your research before lecturing others. Malaysia DOES have over 800 islands. Indonesia simply has a whole lot more. over 17000 actually. This is easily verifiable so go CHECK YOUR FACTS.

well, all their issues don't come from the Pyos, like the Shoe Park and Thailand problems. But yeah, most of the time, it's the Pyos. Thing is, the Pros never did anything illegal until episode 12. Taking their fabric, stopping them from using the ship, and other things they've done have been completely legal. Wrong, but still legal, so they couldn't have been arrested. Our leads win for themselves, not to topple their enemies. So why would Taepoong's win affect the Pyos financially? It's really not that easy to destroy such a big company. The Pyos clearly have connections and lots of money.

These days, people dont even try to make their bot accounts look believable. I just wanted to read new reviews of this show, just to find so many of them posted yesterday from accounts with no profile photo, and no shows on their watchlist other that WYMM. Their reviews were all generic and similar, mostly 5-10 lines long. They all rated this show a 10 and we're clearly created to ramp up its rating. I guess that's how things work on this app, but please try making it less obvious.

i thought i was the only one who noticed. the ratings and reviews here are definitely rigged.

After episode 12, I really didn't see a way forward for the Typhoon gang. The stock they lost was so expensive. I thought for sure it was the end. But their temwork and Taepoong's resilience got them through again.

Lots of people complain about their losses and setbacks being repetitive. I actually like it that way. Each time they face an obstacle, it's just the story taking them to a place with possibility for growth. In the end, the characters come out as better, more developed people.

Obviously, this is a character centred story, so it's understandable that the plot serves the character development. Even so, its never felt boring or repetitive to me. Each setback is unique and watching them navigate it is genuinely entertaining for me, because even in the midst all the commotion, the story always finds time to give us deep, heartfelt character moments. The result is a set of brilliantly written characters all across the board.

I hate it when adults do something really hurtful to a child, and when they realize their fault, rather than apologize, they just pretend like everything is good. Miho deserved an apology from Nam-mo's mom. She didn't need to kneel of beg, just a simple "I'm sorry" would've sufficed.

First of all, it's predictable, not predictive. Second, I quite like that they constantly get beaten down cos it's never just for plot. Each setback advances the story meaningfully and develops the characters. If you notice, each time they lose, a certain character or group of characters has meaningful growth in their arc. Like with Majin in Thailand.

So true. But I'm kinda both. I can watch a show with mediocre characters if the plot is great. and i can watch a show with a mediocre plot if the characters are great. i think the plot and characters are equally important in a show.

if you had your entire livelihood burning in front of your eyes, would you just run? you'd try to save it. she didn't expect it to escalate that quickly, and when it did, she tried running. but she had to try and save it first. do you know how much those goods were worth? she wasn't being stupid. she was doing what most people would do when their extremely valuable possession are in danger .

your watchlist ratings are giving mixed signals. you should probably try it and see.

its an 8 for me. it never peaked for me in the way that 2521, or my other favorites did, but it's consistently solid.

Personally, i dont think he was "ignored". i think the writers are just intentional about giving each character time to shine, and naturally, that's gonna take time away from the leads. the upside is that we get a set of well-written and well-developed characters all across the board.

can someone who understands better please talk me through this. do junseo and jaeoh have lives on their own? it's like they live and breathe to serve Ah-Jin. junseo has literally been dating a girl for a whole year just to watch her and make sure she doesn't hurt Ah-Jin. Jaeoh only appears when Ah-Jin needs him to do something. the first four episodes made them seem like distinct individuals, but since then, it's like they only exist in Ah-Jin's world. like they're her foot soldiers. I get that Ah-Jin is like a drug to them and they're addicted, but dont they have anything else to do with their time???even junseo's life's work is all about Ah-Jin. Is it that I dont understand how obsession works, or are they just one dimensional now?

honestly, I never doubted Ah-Jin for a second. the writers wouldn't go that far. having her kill a poor, helpless grandma is a surefire way to get the audience to hate her. but they don't want us to hate her, they simply want is to understand Ah-Jin. And I have no understanding for people who push Grandmas to their deaths.

y'all know she's using women too, right? installed herself in Heo's grandma's life and manipulated her just to get close to Heo. and she will continue to use more innocent women and men.

can you learn to use a spoiler tag?!

He didn't tell her off. He just gave her advice based on his own experience.
