It's true the White haired witch is a sharp, savvy entrepreneur who has forgone her personal life for her business,…
Correct, I wouldn't describe it as evil but as archaic.

WHW may have been successful but her autocratic managerial style has limitations.

(Vice Director Role was vacant for a long time, offering wasn't narrow -Korean classes?
• Failure to inspire and motivate employees
• Lack of diverse input into decisions
• Little opportunity for employee development and advancement

Retention, highly successful have options to find better conditions.

how can you guys drop this?? I’m in 5th episodes and I’m loving every bits of this. it’s so interesting…
The Hagwons, long intense dialogue is complex and unfamiliar to many audiences outside South Korea.

There's very little filler in this drama.

Interoffice politics, envy are subject matter is too dry.

They skip scenes with dialogue and can't follow along afterwards.

I don't have a crystal ball.

You have to trust the writer/director on them delivering a happy ending for the Hagwon and the couple.

WHW overplayed her hand we see her extending herself financially by partnering with Hyenas.

If you're too anxious because of tearing up in episode fourteen, wait until the last four are banked.

Kdramas are formulaic last episode is the wrap up happy ending.

Epilogue: they're married. (Fingers crossed)

An incel would share your sentiment. He never took the shot, asked her out. That's on him.

Chatting, sharing a coffee doesn't mean they are into you.

this is KOREA ..... my friend
Exactly, mistake most commenters make is they want to inject reality.
This isn't a documentary.

My prediction is based on the storytelling and understanding what the writer/director has shown us for fourteen episodes.

Why do you think Mr. Pyo vs WHW have had two meetings with her telling him to shut up and do as he's told?


Pure speculation albeit the breadcrumbs:
A Team
FL/ML
Ms. Nam's integrity vs short term gain.
Mr. Pyo will leave WHW.

Hyenas -B Team
Vice Director, Korean Instructor, Lead English Instructor would see workplace destroyed fail.

B Team will lose

"A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots." -Mark Twain

We were told rumours, reputations were critical in Hagwons in the first episode and given an example how a workplace affair quickly spread and it was forced to shutdown.

The rumour (lie) being spread is FL seduced ML when he was a student by the Hyenas, parents. This isn't about their interoffice relationship as adults.

Clearing up the lies will occur in the next episode.

Ambition or loyalty? I’m glad Teacher Nam choose loyalty. Seems they’re a few teachers behind the couple.LOL,…
Integrity, courage are in short supply in society. Ms. Nam isn't taking the short cut. Mr. Pyo may leave because the WHW failed to understand his red lines.

Most people refuse to act slowly, think critically about the situation. I expect FL will become the Lioness and those hyenas will learn their place.

Daebak, just watched Ep. 1 and was amazed by the intense "fighting" scene between FL and the teacher from school…
There's several intense arguments in this drama that makes it stand out. The actors have commented on this extra "long dialogue" in behind the scene clips. You won't be disappointed by the writing or acting.

Are we watching the same show?

In those two dramas the FL was in a multi year relationship, this drama doesn't have anything resembling that.

Do you think South Korean s are unique and don't have the same workplace romance/interoffice politics?

The article would capture the same results in South Korea.

They will use the excuse FL is the Team Lead superior and ML is her Junior. That applies to all situations with direct reports in the workplace. No one should dispute those optics are bad.

2015 Adultery was decriminalized in South Korea, why?

Did you think singles living at home were using those Love motels in Korea/Japan?

They are not comparable at all. In those two instance the ex-bf were in an actual relationship for years.

In his own words " I'm idiot and a fool that the Vice Director is playing him. (That sums up his actions betrayal towards the FL. This isn't unrequited love.

It's not her fault that idiot has a crush. The coward refused to act, get rejected and move on. Those were his choices to watch from the sidelines.

Interoffice romance is a problem primarily because one of them or both may have an existing relationship. * Read Forbes article

Instructors remain competitors within the Academy, Instructor Na Min describes them as Hyenas. This is true to most workplaces. Other Academies will exploit this to cause more reputational harm.

Reality, we have favourites, in School, at work and life's not fair.

The Last Dragon (1985), not as funny as Kung Fu Hustle (2004) but still good by North American standards.

Blazing Saddles (1974), Airplane (1980) uncut

Political correctness, woke Liberals can't tolerate others having fun.

They meet the definition of online trolls. Mocking them is fair comment. They lose their minds when you call them out for their behaviour.

Rational adults drop shows they don't like, waste their time on fan sites. Participation generation refer to it as their entitlement.

those people who don't like cringe dramas like this, love the dark and depressive ones... obviously
Because you're an adult, not a spoiled child that expects to have their expectations met from a drama.

They lack impulse control , adults change the channel, drop the program, product and don't need to share that online as a PSA. We're not vain.

people will say it's lack of patience but we're 12 episodes in. if they're still watching and still not enjoying…
You in comments section earlier.
...."Mostly everything else was a snoozefest, (like, you know it's bad when you fast forward and missed nothing of note) and not because of the actual content but because of the pacing, I think. Like last week, I felt like some of the scenes went on wayyyyy too long to explain very little."..

The dialogue is clearly too complex and boring for you and that's okay.

You share the same bias of the negative comments.

This isn't a light hearted romantic comedy. This isn't Hallmark production.

Subject matter, cultural differences, interoffice politics may be too steep a hill for some viewers. (That's okay)

Try these for lighter rom coms
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Mr. Queen
A Love So Beautiful
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo


Hagwon's (Private education) are not similar to North America/Europe.

Why does the vice-director hate fl?
Envy of Director/FL.

Vice Director had her business fail and became a minority partner in the new firm.

FL is loyal (ally) to the Director and must be weakened, destroyed.

Rural communities, smaller towns, where you don't have the population, vehicles especially at night.
This is where we required to suspend reality in most films, dramas.

Rambo survives vs 500 cartel members, Russian military, Vietcong.
Terminator can't kill a kid/woman but takes out military, police like candy.
Koreans tripping and being caught instantly being attracted to each other
Villain evading everything camera/Police until the last episode.

You can't use realistic to describe most things out of from the entertainment industry.
