For me, I sometimes forget to hit that little spoiler button if I'm on my cellphone and by the time I notice it wont let me edit it.
There are those who if you ask will change it to a spoiler tag. But I have had people snap at me for asking them to put their comment in a spoiler tag. (no one has snapped at me in this comment section...it was a different show)

Happy watching!

I've still only finished episode 1. I've been holding off on watching more as there was just something about the writing that I was struggling with. Lot's of plot holes/illogical things happening that were hard for me to move on from, as they were so early in the show.
I like the actors in this one, but I just don't know if I'm going to be able to get over the bad plot/writing.

Seems like they were added into the show and not in the novel. That's one of my pet peeves. If they just film/edit the show in a way that you get a better idea of the characters internal thoughts instead of making it super fast with everything happening all at once in places, you wouldn't need extra stories to flesh out runtime.

Much more angsty than Love O2O. FL has a bit of an "I'm not listening" thing that makes misunderstandings last longer than they should. But I kind of enjoy the flaws in the characters of this one.

This was a really nice short drama. It did a good job with the budget they had and the FL and ML felt like actual people dealing with trauma from their own choices rather than caricature of a person.
The underdog team was a nice bit of levity throughout. Even they were fleshed out a bit, which was nice.
I'm not sure how I feel about the wrap up of the last 30 mins...the big bad became a bit cartoonish and the lackies got redeemed a little too easily. I needed to see a bit more in the previous episodes of Yoo Mi questioning her own choices. We only really see her changing her tune in the last 40 minutes or so of the drama.
I think that it made sense that Eun Ho would need time to sort things out on his own. Recalibrate himself a bit, as he had been fueled by vengeance for so long, he really needed to get back to who he truly is at his core. Holding on to anger/hatred is like slowly poisoning yourself. At first you might not notice, but over time it kills who you once were. Forgiveness is not for the forgiven, it's for the forgiver.

So in Ep 3 Lee Kang Hyun uses her gun. But the thing about police guns in Korea...the first bullet is always a blank...so how did a real bullet come out first? I love how the helicopter stuff didn't faze me, but the lack of a blank in a gun did.

Also, if i walk into one more public bathroom with teenagers/pre-teens filming tik-toks on their phones i'm going to actually lose it.

He was the only person in the seen cast that fit the body type of the rabbit mask, but I just figured that we hadn't seen the person under the mask yet. ya know?

Guys...they are finally alone with no one to call to interrupt a conversation! Miracles do exist.

They look to be at least a week behind the actual scheduled release times, as they are only releasing ep 9 and 10 today when we the next episode to air is 17.

The Feng Ruru thing...SAME! Respect your partners work time. It's one thing to send like a check in text or pictures of what you're eating for lunch(it's a thing) but video calling an office worker is wild. I've seen my 16-19 year old employees do this when closing but management would freaking NEVER.
Serious question to people who just chill with ppl on facetime at work...why?
I don't get it. I went into a room the other day to grab something and a phone was on the counter...i looked down and there was a whole ass person staring back at me...like Sir WHO ARE YOU? I knew it was facetime and not a stream or something because I was in a little box in the corner looking up my whole nose.

I know, im trying to figure out when this dynamic came to be. I know it already existed, but because we didn't see HOW it happened it made my brain go down a question rabbit hole.

I paused this drama after getting 5 minutes in to episode 11. I sped through the 16th episode to see how it all ends.....
5 hours of missed story, but the plot was at the same square it was when I left the board.
I truly wanted to like this show from beginning to end, but I feel like the plot and storyline would have benefitted from a shorter episode count.

Does anyone know how Ji Han's manager, Eun Taek, became his driver/assistant? Like in what order did it happen? Cause it's never really clear, and it was just something that I became curious about after watching the two drivers/assistants try to go fishing together, but Eun Taek was too worried about Ji Han not answering his phone.
Like was Ji Han put in Eun Taek's department or was Eun Taek put in charge of Ji Han's team because he knew him? So many questions...they aren't very important to the overall plot or story, but my brain got hung up on it for some reason today.

I've found my people...🤗🤗

I never interpreted it in that way because of how he treats the driver/assistant of his grandfather, and how he goes about everything else in his life.
But maybe.

That's weird(the fighting about what is better). Not everyone is going to like a performance. It's okay to not enjoy something and give an opinion. I like discussing what a production did differently and why I prefer it over another production, so I don't like it when people take it to a school yard level..."my thing is better than your thing" argument.

I love how flawed the main three characters are. I can understand each of them and why they way are the way they are.
I can see all of them fighting to just have their own place/mark...they just have different ways of going about it. They each want to forge their own path, but they dislike interference from others on the way to that path.
Ji Han doesn't want to take the backdoor in to his grandfather's company.
Ah Jeong doesn't like to take things from others just to get ahead.
Do Han doesn't want anything to do with the company that destroyed his mother, he just wants to create art and live in the shadows like how it was before his parents' death.

Do Han can't deal with "too much". Too much love, too much worry, too much pressure/responsibility. That's why he and Ah Jeong get along so well. She is an extremely low maintenance friend who understands this about him.
At an age where he was possibly figuring out he was going to be different from everyone else because of who he is attracted to, he lost both his parents, then found out they were never married, making him a bastard in the eyes of everyone around him. Then he is pulled from his home and school...treated like crap by the family he has left, left holding the happiness of his brother in his young hands.....yeah that's a lot for a kid going through puberty.
He went full turtle and let things happen around him without any input, as it wouldn't have mattered anyway in his eyes. All he wants is to be free of all the burdens that were foisted upon him after the death of his parents. That just so happens to include being responsible for the happiness of his younger brother.
