hmm I actually don't think we see a lot of ML feeling pressure from her being chairman's granddaughter his worry about actually being able to provide for her just came from a normal worry about being able to provide for the person you love. We started to see this around the time they went to the competition (and its the reason why he wanted to switch jobs so soon). I am wondering too, if he knows about her bet with her grandfather (probably not) but I can't see that conversation being of benefit (bc the reason why she did the bet is so that she doesn't have to marry...which I don't think ML would like). If she wasn't explaining the bet, there's nothing much else to explain on how she's the granddaughter
and he was always in debt and made dumb decisions like straight up taking $2 mill from his own son's bank acct and just giving a call and saying btw took the money bc I have a good opportunity but I'll pay you back when I get more money
Why? I think she’s quite reasonable person since ML likes to keep things to himself…
I'd honestly be more frustrated with this if I hadn't binged all of this (up to ep 22). It's expected of a slow-burn romance with 32 eps. but I think the reason why she's so back and forth is bc she's trying to stick with what she's made up in her mind: never marrying. The whole reason why she uprooted her entire life to work for the company is to avoid marriage (and it's not like her grandfather was forcing her to match with a certain person...he just wanted her with anyone).
It was an internal struggle of head VS heart. ML also had that issue when he was online. Rejecting her twice bc he logically thought she was crazy for liking a stranger, but finally saying yes the third time bc he just really wanted to be with her. its annoying as a watcher (esp bc he full on confessed multiple times so he wasn't sending mixed signals), but there was no way around it. Being stubborn is written into her character.
Ep 19-20. These episodes were really good, explaining both sides. Good drama.
yessss I'm a fan too and I like how he tells her what actually happened soon after we find out some dramas just mention backstory and we never know if the other party finds out the truth
The fact that they were together since before the drama started makes me think it will be one of those secondary…
yah no offense but how did they get together in the first place 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ gives me vibes of irl highschool relationship but eventually its clear that the girl is a girlboss and outgrows the relationship but if they met at work...idk how that would've happened.
yah, its one of the dramas that I have to have MDL open on another tab to look up names in the cast list it definitely not the only drama I've done this for though...
ok the ending.... UGHHH no offense but i wished the FL struggled a bit more to get ML at the end ML was the one who chased first and was the one who was continually putting in so much work into the relationship. And yes; I'll acknowledge that if it was the other way around, it would've been a typical overbearing CEO drama which is considered "normal" in the dramaworld (bit misogynistic but it is what it is).
Like I know ML isn't the type to be petty; and FL has already had a pretty tough life with her dad/financials/start-up but stilllll. She was upset with her ex for choosing career over love but she herself chose work over ML many times (but ML definitely chooses FL over some work things).
I guess in a relationship one has to give in to the other; but it just really felt like ML was willing to sacrifice for FL but FL was never really willing to sacrifice for ML. I mean they're both very independent and capable, but can we have a FL that is a boss queen that is capable of reciprocating? Her paying off her dad's debt shows that she's willing to work hard (but I think that situation was more about taking responsibility rather than sacrificing for her father). I'll acknowledge personality diff....but still just feel like that wasn't a satisfying ending from a viewers perspective.
ok this comment is turning out longer than I expected...
Shooookkk. Janice Wu is a true actress...I didn't even recognize her until a few shots into the trailer and I heard her voice...then I was like wait a secccc

so unexpected!! the beginning of 2023 was a bit disappointing in the modern rom-com c-drama world
