First of... I agree with you on almost everything you wrote

However, I think this is not a case of miscommunication. Miscommunication happens when someone assumes what's happening in a certain sittuation without knowing the full context. And apparently the kiss happened to prove a point or whatever.

But even IF there was a reason behind the action, it doesn't negate the action.

And to the point why is nobody telling him that that is the issue. I think they don't have to (especially because for him it's a non issue). I would say most people wouldn't look kindly at someone who kisses their ex to make a point. He just thaught 1. It was meaningless 2. nobody knows about it. But let me ask: who would be understanding with his reasoning to kiss his ex? Sure he doesn't know what he did wrong but isn't that a problem in of itself?

An apology is meaningless if you don't know what you apologise for -.-

So it's just ego/pride. I think he did that as some kind of test. He was always undermined by his in-law who is also his superior. Probably wanted to see what his standing is in his new family. They both are kinda the same though...with the big difference that she holds more power.

Who else thinks the Chief is totally obsessed with this case? To the point that she does illegal things herself.

Also I found it so funny when they went to their place with multiple vans full of detectives and officers and she is like "make the arrest as quiet as possible"
Gurl!!! As if going there with that many people can be quiet in any way

Not me still ranting about this show lol

This show is close to the end...There are only three episodes left. Didn't we as viewers suffer enough to get some pay off? Where is it?

I personally don't need 3 episodes off fluff and happiness but I would love to resolve the remaining issues bit by bit...like give us something and not just pain and misery. We had that for approximately 30 episodes. Also it's shocking that there are no more redemption arcs aside from Cha Rim. Everyone else is either still shitty or got worse. I would say 75% of the characters are in need of some redeeming moments. Do we get any? Nope.

The grandparents were real confident in the beginning like "even if we get caught, we don't have much more time to live anyways. so we just go to prison"

Where's that confidence now???

WHY IS IT GANG JU'S RESPONSIBILITY TO SAVE EVERYONE? Y'ALL ARE GROWN-UPS OR AT LEAST YOUR ID SAYS SO.

Everyone makes choices and should be accountable for those choices.

And I just remembered...WHERE ARE THE APOLOGIES????

Did I miss something? Did someone apologise to Gang Ju for the way they treated him? I'm looking especially at you chairman and Bong Hui👀👀👀

Also why are they in the same office now (ep.33)?

Does it have anything to do with him?
Is he helpful in any way?
Shouldn't he manage a different team?

again...GET HIM OFF MY SCREEN

Tae Ung is such a waste of space. Seriously his character does nothing for the story. Suddenly everything was handed to him and he walks around with this very nasty entitlement. I just can't with him. What's worse is I bet he still believes he is this humble simple guy who is part of the FL's family and he is only enjoying the benefits of having a rich parent to get to know and be closer with his bio father because he is one of the good ones. Hate to break it to you but you were never one of the good ones. You pitied your way into one family and later lied to them for years and now you officially have privileges and enjoy the Nepo baby lifestyle all you do for the ones who were around you is give misplaced and unwarranted advice?

Get off my screen!

Why are people still acting as if Gang Ju is responsible for burning the three billion won that were hidden in the heater?
1. it was an accident
2. The money wasn't even theirs
3. It shouldn't have been there in the first place

It's like if I borrowed a car from a friend and got into an accident. It doesn't matter if it wasn't my fault the insurance company wouldn't care if the car is not insured with me.

In my opinion there should be zero accountability on his part

I am not that far in.... but the husband is inferiority complex personified

And WHY would you tell a possible buyer that your company is in debt??? NEVER EVER show them your weakness before a possible acquisition. No real businessman would ever do. You can't let them know that they have all the power.

Gang Ju is really frustrating me. He is trying way too hard and is acting way too nice. Simping for Da Rim and her family is bad enough. His idolisation of the chairman is more than unhealthy. Him not paying the contractors as a business owner is beyond horrendous. Even if you are a victim of the circumstances, at some point you also have to be accountable.

The sad truth in life is "you can't save everyone".

On a side note I find it really weird that Tae Ung is apparently doing fine (nothing is really shown in a good or bad way) with a job that he has ZERO qualifications for.

I think my main issue is that the power dynamics never changed throughout the show and most of the struggles are put on Gang Ju...or maybe taken on by him because he didn't have to get involved in all of this

Period. Nuf said 🤣🤣🤣

He is so egotistical...it was really telling that when GJ's mother went to the police Ans stuff he was like "what about me and my company???"

I think he picked his battle. He thought that saving DR's mother and grandparents was more urgent in that moment. Maybe he believed that his mother would forgive him no matter what especially if she got her money. He chose the solution that has the least victims if everything works out. If it were me I would have thrown my hands in the air and left the country to be never seen again and free from all those Awful people

She is really annoying and now she shows her true colours. But I personally found she never really had any presence until she went full police chief recently. But I can see how her condescension has always been there

Interesting. For me the chairman has been awful throughout the show and has only gotten worse and so far I don't see a redeeming factor... that's why he is number one. However Tae Ung's change and behaviour in the later part is so off-putting that I can't argue in putting him in first spot

I gotta say they blow the tax evasion hate out of proportion. It's inheritance tax, which is a ridiculous thing in itself for fuck's sake. This is not the type of crime to be enraged about.

Wow I actually had to retain myself from throwing things during the offspring and donor moments. Disgusting!
