A comment about JH and YW's relationship etc. Jung is just a mentor he does not try to get to know her better…
I really love MS & YW relationship. Mentor-Mentee tropes in dramas are my favorite especially when it’s not romantic.
I don’t ship them in a romantic way because for 1. He’s her boss. And 2. He’s much older than her & there’s a power of authority. He respects her simply as an employee and asset to the team.
Also, it so nice to see a male boss character like MS who respects his female colleagues who are younger than him (and not date them). He truly is the best boss.
To be frank, it deserves a rating below 5. It’s actually ridiculous how long it’s held an 8.5 but only decreased to an 8.4. It’s one of those drama that’s tries to do too much but means very little. The scriptwriting really lacks depth & vision. It’s like when you bake a cake, you have all the right ingredients but when it’s done baking the execution is terrible.
First & Foremost this drama is about YW & the law cases. JH doesn’t have a backstory but that doesn’t mean we don’t know anything about him. There’s a saying ‘you can tell a person’s character by the way they treat people’. That’s JH. His relationship with people & the way he navigates himself around YW shows the depth of his character. Introducing his family or past doesn’t really change how he’s already shown to us other than it adds another insight about him. In my opinion, he’s not perfect (or bland). It’s easier to write a flawed character whose traits are obvious & loud and can be easily fixed-redeemed. JH isn’t a flashy character but I find him to be intricately written in a nuance way.
This is a very unpopular opinion and I know a lot, or mostly all of the person who watches this roots for Junho.…
This is a fair take.
But MS & YW is more of a boss-mentor & mentee relationship. And I do love their dynamic & prefer to keep it that way.
About JH not challenging people in a direct way who belittles YW seems intentional from the writer & hopefully is a plot point-development.
During the Cham Cham Cham scene, to me it’s more so it wasn’t the right time & place since they were on the job. It could be various variables why he’s holding back, I don’t see it as him pitying her. He genuinely likes YW.
i wanna ask a question? when did the male lead hurt or made fl feel as he doesn't like her ...i mean when in ep…
The Cham Cham Cham scene. When YW asked the question of him liking her, JH avoided it. So JH thinks that he might have made it seem as if he didn’t like her. After that, they haven’t quite spoken to each other or eat their usual lunch-whale talks together. And when JH spoke to SY with a smiling look on his face, plus Jerk MW insinuating that they look good together. YW thinks he has romantic interest for someone else.
8.4 rating is still too high for a drama like this. It’s the Doom At your Service of 2022. Bad dialogue, stilted main characters, & poor story construction. The romance is blander than a brick wall.

And nope I will not rewatch.
He intentionally says hurtful things just to spite YW when she isn’t even doing anything to him.
