I dislike Mr. Kim, obviously, he is a real jerk. I also dislike Mr. Kim's wife. She is a doormat, pushower and an ENABLER. At the start of ep 3, she clearly explains she knows she created this monster dad/husband/ Mr Kim bc she spoiled her husband - and yet she is unwilling to do anything about it and STILL WILLINGLY CATERS TO HIM, she quit her dream and her real estate exam.
Bc she is unwilling to stand up to her husband in an honest and gentle way, providing REAL support, not just mockery of his insecurities, bc she is unwilling and unable to keep an honest communication with her husband, bc she is unwilling to disciss any issues, bc she "feels pity for him" and thus lets him do whatver he wants, she has created a monster who is impacting so many peoiple in most negative ways.
Mr. Kim is a jerk obviously bc he is using his status as breadwinner and "man" to dole it over hiwife and kid, he is abusive patriarchal jerk. But the wife is responsible for never ever questioning him and thus promoting and encouraging him to continue to be abusive more and more.
So THE WIFE IS BEHIND ALL THIS. SHE ALLOWED MR KIM TO GET OUT OF LINE. SHE keeps throwing herself, their son AND Mr Kim under the bus, and indirectly, throwing under the bus everything and anything that Mr. Kim gets in touch with, e.g. all ACT employees and customers and public and youtube readers etc the entire country
MR KIM'S WIFE IS THE KEY TO SOLVING THIS SITUATION - AS LONG AS WIVES LIKE THAT EXIST, MR. KIMS WILL EXIST
and it is interesting how that will ruin her son too - that girl is clearly a bait and that Jealousy company is clearly somehow going to abuse Mr Kim's son, who is gullible and keeps failing for that girl and doing whatever she says. Those kids will somehow use Mr Kim's son as a scapegoat for something illegal they do, or as a guinea pig for something, but in any case, at the end he will be thrown to the curb and VERY HURT
And is funny how we find MR. Kim annoying but realy who makes Mr. Kim is HIS WIFE and ppl think she is "nice"
No, she is a monster bigger than him. She KNOWS what she is doing and is unwilling to stop. She KNOWS she CREATES ENABLES AND SUPPORTS THE SPOILED CARELESS CRUEL SELFISH INSECURE MONSTER MR KIM
==== Added after ep 4: Ms. Kim becomes a very strong woman, and Mr. Kim starts breaking down into a softer more real version of him... and the son also wisened up to some degree :) And the progress continues...
I’m glad that the show isn’t shying away from how awful of a manager Mr Kim is. He’s easy to blame others…

There are many fans of SJ - SB by now, since SB is maturing quite nicely and imo is already quite competent adult…
I would say practically everyone was against them as a pair and disliking her LOL but then the kiddo surprised many of us bc we think she grew up FAST into a nice young lady. So now mroe and more ppl are starting to approve their pairing BUT YOU HAVE TO THINK FOR YOURSELF, not what others wrote. You should have your own opinion based on what you watched and thought about. It is fine to discuss with other people and change our opinion, but it always should be based on facts and careful analysis :)
Nope LOL The stepmom sees her kids ONLY as ways for herself to elbow forward... She kept the son bc he was "profitable"…
Yeah!!! I was wondering about that scene.... I was wondering if that really what happened, OR she knew that the Chairman will be there and she staged it? I rally wanted to go there and touch to kid to see if he DID have a fever..... LOL I am sure she could have felt all that motherly love in the past, and then perhaps decided to become evil to make sure those dangerous poverty situations never happened...
In any case, whatever happened after that sick kid in the car scene.... was 100% staged :)
When Gestures Speak Louder Than LabelsWhen Seong Jae asked Su Bin why she didn’t retaliate after a coworker…
ok then, if you didnt see, then you didnt see. So I will remind you what you SHOULD have seen. First, she went out with a rich handsome guy and DUMPED HIM, SAYING SEVERAL TIMES that she doesnt want *just* rich and handsome but a nice guy. So overall a nice guy PLUS rich and handsome. Seems like you missed that part. Second, she was a great success in the store. She was very considerate, mature, etc. And she did her best bc she was returning the favor to SJ. Seems like you missed that part, that she is super responsible and caring towards her friend SJ. Third, she found her love - old fashion clothes and interest in her grandma - and she became a successful youtibe influencer and very happy with her work. You missed that - that she has become SOMEONE. OVERALL, SU BIN PROVED HERSELF AS A RESPONSIBLE, CONSIDERATE, CARING AND CAPABLE FRIEND, FAMILY MEMBER AND A BUSINESS PERSON She didnt want a divorced man, so her interest in SJ is way beyond rich and famous. You missed that too.
So I am not sure why you hate Su Bin, so perhaps you can look at her character a little more objectively? Perhaps :) Characters in a story are there to push our buttons :)
the boy is very rude , harsh ,…….. to the female eventhough they were friends . he treated her like a trash…
OK. I thnk ML was super harsh and abusive in his rejection, he was very cruel and DISHONEST, and the rest you wrote, I 100% agree with. Yeah he was miserable. But that is not a reason to dump it on others LOL he was soooo immature ... and just like you, I am glad he got over that
I rarely say this, I am usually a SML hater😅😅but I like the SML here. Not in the way that I would want her…
There are many fans of SJ - SB by now, since SB is maturing quite nicely and imo is already quite competent adult enough to be in a relationship. and is definitely having a very positive effect on him and he has positive effect on her, and they engage so well. They are already a great pair
When Gestures Speak Louder Than LabelsWhen Seong Jae asked Su Bin why she didn’t retaliate after a coworker…
Kneeling allows him to come so much closer to her, to put his body and face right in front of her body and face, to have his body in between her legs or touching her legs, and to have body contact while looking at her eyes directly, face to face.
That guy is really waking up. He is really really really interested in Su Bin. She is ALIVE and makes him alive. EH is too subdued and demure, she just isnt strong enough of a light for him. Su Bin on the other hand is super robust, confident, and outgoing, and also honest and really athletic sexy, and someone very active and taking initiative, so she is a perfect person to demolish all the ICE walls around his heart and a little lower. That like 30 yr old seemingly healthy man so far behaved like an eunuch which means his whole being was under severe trauma.
But Su Bin is so hot, so RADIANTLY ALIVE, that she is already melting him, he is really animated, active and engaged with her. He is gonna be a puddle on the floor very soon....
He is coming back from his old "outer space" and landing right next to Su Bin, his guide back to LIFE.
He is a more mature version of his younger sister - someone who is barely alive bc of the opression they live under. That talk between JH and SJ where SJ described how his Stepmom tried to trap him to frame him, in such a devious clever way, is just HORRIFYING. Stepmom is an evil monster, well camouflaged as a nice lady. She is TERRIFYINGLY DANGEROUS
Su Bun and Driver Brothere are essentially liberating MomaGirl and SJ out of the golden jail they are in, out of the constant efforts in brainwashing , manipulations, and lies.
Su Bin’s character has shown more growth than I have seen in many characters and dramas like this. She started…
SJ has good reasons to keep his guard up... That criminal liar Stepmom makes his life hell and demands that he is always on tight alert emergency mode OR ELSE she eats him alive. Plus his work requires him to always be highly self controlled.
Su Bin can be his safe heaven and his little oasis of reality and warmth and LIFE. He is really ALIVE with her. He is engaged, active, all spunky, loud, talking, not nice, nice, sexy, caring, angry, agressive, sweet, talkative, open, honest, defensive, ..... he is ALIVE person with her. He is REAL with her. I hope he will realize soon how much LIFE Su Bin brought to him and will decide to ENJOY it since nowhere else in his life he has that
And yeah he was super good for Su Bin, his presence and hanging out with him forced her to grow up bc he is calm, stable, mature personality and she was too much out there in outer space - but she landed so well, right next to him LOL
the boy is very rude , harsh ,…….. to the female eventhough they were friends . he treated her like a trash…
Common it is still the most widely used trope. A crude coldhearted arrogant jerk ML and a clumzy clutzy loser doormat pushover naive incompetent rash impulsive emotional reactive immature rather dumb FL who kisses his a@@ and he magically gets transformed by her love and takes care of her all the time bc, without him, she cannot function in the world. Yeah sure dream on :) happens in kdramas LOL It is astonishing **sexism** The older dramas went into physical and other abuse in public, openly. like Boys over FLowers. or Full House.. or suuuuuper dumb FL like Playful Kiss. .... THAT I am glad we do not get to see anymore tooooo much. But milder variants of that - that are STILL PRETTY STRONGLY ABUSIBE AND PREJUDICIAL - yes all the time, most asian dramas depend on that staple trope. It shows woman as dumb and dependent, and man as poor darlings who have to fix all the messes of these dumb women once they cling to a chick like that. Classic tropes - a guy grabbing her wrist and dragging her along, telling her insults, ordering her around, telling her what to do, saving her from her messes, etc.
Just check out any of the modern dramas and you will find tons of this. Do you want me to name names? The Nice Guy, Bon Appettit Your Majesty,, Tastefully yours, Potato Lab, 100 memories, Queen's house until ep 30, etc etc etc There are very few dramas where FL is competent and is not a damsel in distress to be saved, ... but luckily numbers increasing. Naming the names? Love Scout, Haunted Palace, Knight's Lower, Our Golden Days, Queen's house after ep 30, etc It makes SO MUCH MORE FUN PLOT when FL can do a lot.
Our Golden Days is a realistic portrayal of that - a woman who is on her way but not quite liberated, and a male who is on his way but not quite liberated. that is why I have such an interest in this drama, bc it is ... trying to work out that realistic situation where a male is so overly pushy and the woman is meek and insecure. Second and third couple are a lot more egalitarian and equal in many ways. JH is too .... pushy and arrogantly confident so ML and FL struggle the most - but EH did a great job of not letting him push her around
As for ep 26 - wow Stepmom is such a con artist, an amazing actor, a professional swindler.... Wow she is DANGEROUS. At this point SJ is the only one who has a hunch she is evil but even he will doubt himself since his father is soooooo duped and sooooo naive and blind.... ....
HOW will EH avoid being swindled when she does not talk to anyone about this and Stepmom is such an experienced CRIMINAL.... ??? When did Stepmom become like that... ? Seems like it was always like that, it is her nature... selfish cruel cheating backstabbing snake. She is a sociopath / psychopath / narcissist / con artist I dont even know how to "diagnose" her !!!!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE ep 25!!!! First, EH actress acted so well in the opening scene where JH and she talk. Wow! That was impressive acting. For both of them. I think EH actress acted so much better and quite well in this episode, I was stoked! Yay! It was so interesting to watch.
Then we have SJ and JH talking and that too is a wanderful conversation. I couldnt help but notice how handsome they both are in their own way. SJ actor looks great in that navy blue suit, it meshes with his black hair and eyes. He looks stunning in that. And the hairstyle is amazing too bc it leaves the eyes open, and he acts amazing with his eyes, so it is so interesting to watch. And JH actor has more light hair and eyes bc of lighting in that scene (his hair also looks black in some scenes and lighter in others) so the brown suit and tie looks amazing on him. He had a hideous haircut during his marrying-for-money and after..... and now he looks amazing again, esp when the hair is up and his eyes are visible.
Su Bin is so healthy and alive and she is the nuclear sex bomb that will totally blow away - actually, already blown away - the walls of SJ. He is just not aware that he lost all his walls LOL He keeps looking at her channel, watching her at the store, visiting her, touching her all over, standing under her mini skirt, etc etc etc and ... I am just waiting for that moment when he realizes his internal ancient glacier is MELTING AND MOVING ...
And Su Bin's granma is a riot, those scenes were swell. ANd the elderly dad scenes too. I like the elderly plot. THose topics are REAL.
I also liked the Driver and the MamaGirl. MamaGirl is growing up fast... She will be a great wife for the Driver :) THey are such a fun couple and he is already quite aware that there is something goine on but he hasnt totally admitted it to himself yet :) She still has no clue although she feels free to grab his hands and cheers him on when she disses her suitor :) THose two will ... encounter problems soon when Stepmom catches on...
Stepmom as we all know, sold her son as the future company heir, and sold her 2nd daughter as the wife of a bigger cheabol group, and could not sell poor orphaned EunHio so she just dumped her.
I realy hope EH doesnt fall for it so easy, even it is is Wu Jin, Also, cheabol mom is so wealthy, why she doesnt just BUY a liver for him?????
Seong Jae & Eun Oh—When Love Must Yield to LineageSome are saying Seong Jae should have confessed to Eun…
Honestly that is bs. If you love someone, you naturally go closer not further, you are naturally curious and always trying to spend time with your interest. SJ never loved EH. He had respect and desure to have her, but it was never strong enough bc simply there was no REAL feeling. Look what he is doing with Su Bin - he keeps checking her yutube chanel, calling the store and even calling her to find out what she is doing. He goes to the store, he takes her out. He TALKS to her a LOT. He touches her all over to put bandages, to "tie her shoelaces" etc etc etc HE IS GENUINELY INTERESTED AND CURIOUS AND KEEPS COMING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO EXPLORE HER. THat is love :)
Just a bit of research....On bended knee and what it entails in Korean cultureKorean culture, kneeling with one…
Oh yeah he is in love. He has been constantly checking up on her and keeping in touch. He has been touching her all over. Kneeling down also lets him come very close to her, and then look up from very close to her mini skirt naked legs. It is sweetness and giving in and also very sexual connotations. He is worshipping his Goddess :) asking her to accept him like her knight in the shining armor and her teddy bear and her hot lover. There are many different reasons why he keeps coming VERY CLOSE to her, in every way he is in love. Cooked, baked, just waiting to discover that some BOMB went inside him, he is suddely a lot more ALIVE, the sex bomb just blew away all his stone walls he built around himself. Su Bin is ALIVE and HEALTHY and is waking him up from his frozen slumber :)
EH is too frail and not physical and she just was never hot enough for him

Bc she is unwilling to stand up to her husband in an honest and gentle way, providing REAL support, not just mockery of his insecurities, bc she is unwilling and unable to keep an honest communication with her husband, bc she is unwilling to disciss any issues, bc she "feels pity for him" and thus lets him do whatver he wants, she has created a monster who is impacting so many peoiple in most negative ways.
