For the first 30-40 minutes, FL's lip makeup is so mismatched that I can't look because it distracts me... especially since she moves her lips a lot... this is probably the first time I've ever experienced this. I hope the later will be better.

For me, the classic in this regard is Flower of Evil (2020 Korea). But if you like crime novels, you've probably already seen it.
Under the Skin (2022 China) is weaker but also good.

I agree.
ML - handsome and good acting, FL - pretty, but her acting is weaker, a bit wooden..

Absolutely! a very apt comparison.

I wrote the primal post based on my feelings because I wanted to see FL as she was portrayed: smart, strong, cunning, and brave. She wouldn't let anyone push her around.
But at the moment of confrontation, she turned out to be a self-conscious little child with very low self-esteem—and everything before that was just a facade.

1/ I agree, the scene is poorly written.

2/ You're writing about "perpetrators and victims" in general – we're not considering all such situations in general, just this particular one.
FL is portrayed in the series as strong, smart, brave, and athletic. She conducts investigations where she's alert, cunning, and unafraid of anything, so others are afraid of her.
And suddenly, a hysterical woman (it doesn't matter who, she could be the president) bursts into the company and, not at all out of surprise, beats the conscious, strong, smart, athletic... etc. director like a rag, and the director lets her do it without protest...
That's why I wrote about the director's self-disrespect, humiliation, and degradation… because she suddenly stopped being the strong, smart, cunning one – it doesn't matter why she did it. She insulted herself. Btw, the vice president's wife is not a psychopath, but rather an alcoholic and hysterical.

3/ FL didn't have to fight—she just had to block, dodge, or redirect (like aikido). You're talking about consequences; the FL had a choice: maintain her dignity and risk losing her job, or keep her job but foe sure lose her dignity. And she did the latter, which is why I called it what it was; she insulted herself.

4/ Yes—the conversation about a bonus for the beating also involved the FL insulting herself—she did.
Since I'm a bit more professionally versed in the subject, I want to emphasize that in any interaction between two people, it never, absolutely never involves just one part, as both are involved. Placing "blame" only on one part is a misunderstanding. It's the same with violence – both parties are complicit because one is aggressive and the other allows it (active/passive aggression directed at the other person or oneself – I don't want to write a lecture here)..
Best regards.

As you we can see, there are many solutions. Therefore, taking only one solution for granted is wrong, which is why I protested earlier.

It doesn't matter (everyone always has their own reasons), a fact is a fact..

It's simple – FL simply had to block the attack or dodge. Especially since the second attacker wasn't acting out of surprise; she simply raised her hand as she walked, and it was clear what she was walking for...
Regardless of what you wrote and the reasons why FL didn't react, as I wrote earlier: "a respected executive humiliates and degrades himself" to stay in the corporation or because her traumas.

Every explanation is just an excuse. Our dignity is priceless, and this beating could have been avoided. In my opinion, it was a poorly written scene. It made me lose respect for FL, despite her previous achievements... Amen.

Episode 6 - After FL let another woman punch her in the face and pull her hair, I had to turn it off. In my eyes, she'd lost almost everything. I don't understand how such a woman could have such disrespect for herself.
If this had happened on the street, there would have been three charges already, but at work is ok? Are you a slave? The respected director is degrading and humiliating herself.
What a terrible example for others, too.

Not true. A relationship can be born out of pity, but later, the feelings can transform and develop into deep love. The problem is when it's born out of pity and remains based only on that pity.

Yes, a secretary is not that class - and I don't mean the position, but the person.

I love all your comments here :)) they're so... energetic!
Maybe I'll even check out the show to see what you wrote about.
Best regards.

Witaj w klubie :) - całkowicie się z Tobą zgadzam. a propos JHI.
Być może dla celów porównawczych skuszę się na obejrzenie jakichś fragmentów BoD. Greetings.

It's not the right place, but you mentioned Jisoo... I watched Snowdrop (2021) years ago with her as FL, and that was the weakest point of that drama. She was a complete douche, crying and blowing her nose for most of the series, and it was also artificial (the way she acted this crying was exaggerated).
On balance, ML Jung Hae In was the best part of that series.
From your review, I gather that despite the passage of time, nothing has changed in her acting. Thanks.

On a formal note: the photos may be evidence of an assault, but they are not proof that he committed it.
But like someone wrote :
"cindiloohoo57 6 hours ago
It is inappropriate for this site to promote scandal regarding artists. It's supposed to be a site simply for listing the creative works of artists, not for delving into their personal lives."

Exactly! The facts speak for themselves. Believing the data on MDL - he made 5 dramas in 2024 and theoretically he would only have 2 months to do it - its hard to believe.

Finally someone wrote this! Thank you!
