There's someone trying to get the ML's attention, but he ignores her. There's someone who like FL, but she tells him pretty quickly that she only thinks of him as a friend. No true triangle.

Yes, when she said that she already knows what it means to die, I thought "aha! setting up the cancer misunderstanding".

Yes, too many people gave up on episode 1 because it seemed slow and strange. Every single part of it was necessary though, so that you understand what's going on later. It's well written. Not predictable, and definitely worth sticking with. If you're not sure at the start, at least watch to the end of episode 2 before judging it.

I think there is more than one person with that watch. Either it's a gang of people plotting together to kill Mr Noh, or Oh Se Gi having the same watch and seeming a bit shifty is just a red herring. He could even have infiltrated a gang to see from inside what they plan to do to Mr Noh. Who knows? It's fun to guess, and keeps us all interested. 😁

Cat or plant, I would guess.

Quite possibly both imaginary, knowing this drama. 😁

Exactly, and because he can see CW doing everything for QW again, he assumes she will go back as usual.

I almost never cry at dramas, even when characters I liked die, but this FL made me cry twice in the last two episodes. She's good!

That might lead to injury! 😂

You're going to have amazing abs by the end!

Well said.

There's a Japanese drama - I think it's called May I Blackmail You? which you might like.

Probably.

If you want to see a really bleak filter, watch the c-drama , Snow Lover. They used horrible yellowy-brown tones and kept every scene dimly lit, and it actually started depressing me. In comparison, this is bright and cheery!

Chemistry is great. Not really any romantic scenes yet. It wouldn't make sense at this point in the plot. There is a kiss at the end of episode 8, but it's a fake, for show.

Well, that's one opinion. Personally, I liked the last 2 eps. ☺️

Yes, but if he discovers her diagnosis (without finding out it was wrong) the power balance may flip again. 😁

It didn't seem as simple as "my ex is looking at me". He seems genuinely utterly terrified of that woman. I hope we find out soon exactly what she did, because he quakes with fear every time he sees her. He wasn't being the usual over-possessive CEO on those stairs; he was basically using Sina to hide behind.

I actually think revealing the misdiagnosis and the amnesia so close together was a good move. Sina was in such a confused and unstable state after the misdiagnosis news that suddenly finding out that NGJ was fully aware of everything she'd done completely unbalanced her.

I also think that having the whole dynamic shift at the half-way point of the drama was quite clever. It may seem that we've shifted towards a slightly more traditional genre, but actually it's far more interesting than the usual plot. They're not the one-dimensional "cold CEO" and "timid secretary" that we often see. They're far more complex and in a much more twisted situation than the usual contract relationship.

I think he will want to use her as a shield against the plotting "childhood sweetheart" woman, but he'll also enjoy the opportunity for revenge.
