I was certain that it will take a lot of time for In-ah to accept her feelings for Ki-Jun, but her throwing away the mascot in the office in ep 10 preview is too much. Is this a noble idiocy sign (her stepping away to protect him from 2ML)? Eh I wish not. I have no idea how they will wrap up the US transfer storyline but it doesn't look too good... also I want to see more Ki-Jun, ep 9 was very Jae-Yeol focused.

(I'm not excusing her hitting on 2ML ofc)

I really hope Ah Jeong will grow on more people after ep 9! She clearly cares about the ML deeply and wants him to be happy

I'm sorry, but as a person from country that has been occupied more than once, this is a big deal. I am with knetizens on this one.

No, I don't think you're reading too much into it at all. The clothes definitely lack the scandalous factor, which could be achieved by more intricate designs and clever construction, like you said. And sadly, further episodes showcase it even more. There are scenes where she picks jewelry (which is definitely an ad) and she chooses and praises the most basic necklace ever. Even in "normal" dramas styling is a vital part of storytelling, and here it should be even more important if she has a fashion company, but her fashion choices are telling a whole different story from the script.

Wasn't that in ep 9?

The evening ball really implied it, and then they went back to the queen loving Ian all this time.

Oh this is such an unpopular opinion, but I agree completely. I mean they wanted us to believe that she has a fashion company and her looks sell out every time. And I felt the way she dressed was a bit... meh? It was especially apparent in those episodes when she was supposed to wear traditional clothing to the palace but she just wore a suit... not very groundbreaking tbh. She was also overshadowed at the party, by the queen's midnight blue dress. And after the marriage the clothes she wore were really old-fashioned. Overall, the queen was the better dressed at each occasion.

I went back to ep 1, and the dialogue between Inah and Jaeyeol doesn't imply that she came back to Korea willingly. He says "do you regret coming back?" And she answers "if I do, can I return to US?". And then he laughs. So I think he was the one who brought her back. Why would she, if she has no family, friends, and wants to distance herself from her father?

I will repeat myself over and over: S2 was never a thing. It was a wish from ENA/the producers, who just saw how popular S1 was. The actors never agreed to take part in it. Great that the director finally adressed it publically.

I agree, her behaviour toward 2ML isn't the greatest, but she is definitely not toxic towards the ML, and is not holding his relationship back. She wants to make 2ML jealous holding ML's arm but she clears the living-together misunderstanding at once when she sees that In-ah could see the ML in a bad light because of it.

I feel similar. If she can't have the audit team be truly independent (from the 2ML), I don't think she will stay.

Also I feel like the screenwriter's getting so much love, but I wanna praise the director, all romance scenes are shot so deliciously well, the kiss of course, but also the ocean scene~~

I feel like at least one of the leads will lose their job or quit. I don't see In-ah being in a relationship with her subordinate in a long run. I feel she will uncover a massive case and will get fired as a result.

One thing I love the most about this show is how the leads make each other laugh. In-ah just straight up bursts out laughing multiple times an episode at Gi-Jun's stories. This is so important in a relationship, yes, physical and emotional connection is important, but finding someone who can make you laugh is just so special.

I hope she can finally get some family support in her life again

In my headcanon, In-ah didn't want to give Gi Jun the answer during the sashimi dinner just to hang around with him a little longer. Even after he specifically said that it'll be like a date!

Yeah it was hard to see but it was him

I loved the soccer scene. No wonder the team leader cried - In-ah's unwavering support must have taken such a heavy burden from her shoulders. Our FL really feels like a character from flesh and bone. And no wonder she doesn't want to be loved out of pity. But I think you got it all wrong girl - he likes you cause are funny, compasionate and hella competent!

Also he was waiting in a car outside her apartment in ep 2
