It's basically any of that. As I've mentioned, he's a typical evil person.
A typical evil person is someone who grew up in the worst environment anyone can imagine and often dismiss. Parents who were mostly absent, or parents who are mean. Parents who taught them bad things. The kid only saw everything that is evil, so the kid grew up that way.
A typical evil character is not someone who was born that way. No one is born evil, and as I've said, humans are inherently good. It's the environment (a.k.a. the people you surround yourself with) that shapes us.
So, just think of that. The main villain is just that, a typical evil character. If they explore his background, it's a bonus. Although I doubt they will since the plot is about the ML's revenge.
by watching ep1 , it is really hard to be kind and helps people/strangers nowadays even in real life 🥲
The problem with him is he was blinded by money. I immediately knew it was a trap.
In such cases, you bring it to the police station. You never meet them outside of a police station or in suspicious places without any witnesses.
That's how we do it here in the Philippines. Either you keep it to yourself and be an arse, or you return it through the police station, news media office, or anywhere where there are witnesses. And you do it on your terms as an extra precaution (just in case they set up a public place that they already scouted).
The ML did everything wrong, including the "second" victim. They were both blinded by money. Seriously, the mere fact they offered a reward is itself a red flag. And the second you saw the place is suspicious, come on.
A reward that is offered like that is nothing but a carrot. Once you bite it, it's game over.
What I don't understand is how that mentally unstable chaebol can be so young and so rich? What is his history?…
In addition, his way of getting money is actually brilliant.
He finds errant children of reach people and waits for them to commit a crime, or tricks them into commiting a crime, or forces them to, or more likely manipulated them.
Then he traps the parents.
Then he finds some random unfortunate bystander to be the replacement once the parents pay.
Everyone else in his immediate circle are paid well, hence, they follow him blindly. Some also know what kind of person he is and knew they'll be dead if they so much show they disagree with him.
It is possible and can happen in real life. The only reason it is not happening yet is because humans are inherently good people. And you can't really make psychopaths work together unless they're blood related or grew up together. So it's not easy to form such a group.
And who's to say it isn't happening or hasn't happened already.
Basically, the background of that villain is your typical evil person who is actually using their genius brain to create a pretty much solid enterprise. Until, of course, they meet their match. (It's the reason why we don't have a one world government yet, there is always someone who'll match a good or bad person. Sort of a balance by the universe.)
International fans almost always complain how in Korean productions, couples wake up with shirts on, leaving it to the audience if they had sex or not.
They finally solved how to depict sex without getting slapped with violations: show the condoms wrapper!
Hooray! 🤣🤣🤣
2. White truck of death
Everyone knows the white truck of death, and how fictional Korean people seems to have no knowledge of it.
Here we are, finally, a Korean character who got scared by a white truck of death. 😆🤣🤣🤣😅🙃
I wasn’t impressed with the first episode at all. I already went in kind of biased because this trope is honestly…
They didn't reveal anything in E01. They compressed what would've taken 4–6 episodes. It's called setting up the story, the characters, their background, so these don't get in the way of the plot.
In other words, these information are not crucial and is not the story at all. It's just setting the foundation. It's a hint that there's far to the story than meets the eye. If they didn't do it this way, it will only get in the way and drag for 4–6 episodes and people are going complain.
Now that they've removed everything people expected out of the way, they can start on the next phase very early, build it up to the climax. They also have more room and freedom to tackle more things beyond the usual expectations.
Lastly, there's nothing new under the sun. Even in music composition, there is a very limited number of melodies we can make (in fact, there's an NGO Copyrighting every melody not yet found in existing releases, so companies can't lock those melodies and sue people).
The universe itself is finite. Everything else is even more so.
The first ep feels a little slow since it explained and exposed all the main plot points right at the get go,…
It's actually fast. In traditional style, it will take 4–6 episodes just to establish the history and background of the story before it focuses on the main plot.
Here, they compressed it into a single episode. 😉
They did well, because it's a non-literature format storytelling. Lengthy storytelling only works for literature format.
I love how they used E01 to set the entire stage instead of dragging it to 4–6 episodes.
There are more stories to tell than to waste time establishing the story. No one cares how a food was made, or where the ingredients came from. It's all about the taste, the experience and magic of combining these ingredients into a savoury and delectable food.
That's how non-literature format storytelling should be.
I still think she's the real heir.She also came from the orphanage. Probably from the same orphanage?Possible…
Yeah, that's the sad reality. When they create a very interesting character, it's only technically an extra or a plot device. Then in another story, they create an uninteresting character, develops it a lot but still end up uninteresting. 😂

Looks like she's going to play a bigger role.

But if you're asking if it's a sexual act, no, the show isn't porn in any way.

It's going to be a massive disappointment if it ends up just another boy-meets-girl. 😆
"Ooh. Okay. If they gave away those usual tropes, that means they have something else in store for us."
