I think initially his subconscious was giving him hints he was his victim. He didn't understand it, he just acted on that "I don't like him for some reason" feeling.
It took him the entire episode to finally figure out why. 🤣 Now, the real fun begins. Even if he doesn't care the truth might get revealed about his business, his pride was hurt because a sheep is fighting the wolf. It turned personal.
I wouldn't be surprise if he doesn't care if his business shuts down, he can rebuild it. What's important is to settle a score. To prove that a sheep can never win against a wolf.
The problem with him is he was blinded by money. I immediately knew it was a trap.In such cases, you bring it…
Yep! That rarely used tunnel was very suspicious.
It would've been understandable if he was under duress, like a family or friend was supposedly kidnapped. But just returning a phone, in a suspicious place. 😅😅😅 Too much greed for someone with work and supposedly aware that safety comes first.
Things I love with this show:1. The market sword quad scene. It was powerful and unique. There were so many subtle…
The funny stuff: the Korean water trope.
Yeah. Everything fantastical always happen with Koreans falling into a body of water.
It doesn't matter if it's a pale of water. It will suddenly turn as deep as the Pacific Ocean. 😆
Ironically, believe it or not, bodies of water is usually involved with many unexplainable legends and myths. For example, whenever there are reports of time slips, time travel, and parallel world glimpses and travels, water is almost always involved. It can be a body of water or there was heavy rain. You cae serach it, there are so many legends and myths of this around the world.
However, the Koreans are the only ones who actually turned it into a serious trope. Possibly also deeply rooted in ancient Korean culture. The rest of the world is just random yet many.
1. The market sword quad scene. It was powerful and unique. There were so many subtle clues and messages there. It was a multilayered scene. Even the way both MLs touched the sword were important. No, the 1ML's explanation of the scene was only the surface. There's more to it than that.
2. The approach. Typical drama focuses on the romance and court intrigue is a plot device only. In this show, the court politics is on equal footing at the romance. Neither is a plot device. They go hand-in-hand. The romance wouldn't exist without the court drama. The court drama wouldn't exist without the romance.
In addition, his way of getting money is actually brilliant.He finds errant children of reach people and waits…
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 🥲

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.)

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."
