I like how no ones is team this or team that character but more so team ‘development’ lol. I think all the characters on this show needs some growth & change. I really like DS but he can’t expect HY, whom he has yet to form a relationship with, change to ‘fit’ his standard so easily. That’s not how it works. He’s also too self-involve when not needed to be. He doesn’t have to fix everything in people’s live (although I’m curious & there is def a reason as to why he does it). HJ is already slowly but surely showing some growth. Plus, I like that some of the things HJ says has already helped DS see certain things in a different light. They both have said things that helped each other understand things more. Even through all the bickering & misunderstanding, I like that both DS & HJ can still talk without it being weird or too awkward to the point it adds overly dramatic constraint or conflicts.

No one can compete against DS, not even the ML in other kdramas lol.

I’m feeling that a bromance will be brewing between DS & SH lol. They both share common interest & hobbies and their arguments feels more like friendly banter. I mean did you see the way he caught DS when he almost fell over lol like a knight catching a princess. It was too funny.

If there is a love triangle, SH wasn’t really a competitor to begin with. I mean this is DS we’re talking about. The ultimate renaissance man. I feel like SH will be the catalyst that pushes DS & HJ closer in a romantic way.

I hate classist folks too lol. But I don’t really see HJ completely like that since she didn’t really grew up with that mindset seeing how she was in college. But I like that she’s trying even though it’s to her benefit only. She has to start somewhere lol.

Human trash???? She’s an uptight city girl but I wouldn’t go as far as calling her human trash. Yes, she exudes classism mindset & the whole “social position” nonsense but a lot of people are like that in real life. I’m not excusing her behavior when she say insensitive stuff but she always reflected upon her actions & apologizes when she realizes she made a mistake & tries to fix it. She’s trying which is a good start. She’s not going to change instantly over night. It’s unrealistic. She does have compassion. HJ is not an outright mean nasty person. Her flaws feel much more realistic than other FL in most dramas.

Even the most decent person would look like a villain next to a patron saint like DS lol.

I didn’t watch startup, I tried but it didnt interest me. Could barely pass 2 ep lol. I think KSH looks way better here. Something about the simple messy ness of his outfits & the scruffy ness of his hair makes him very attractive. Very down to earth looking guy. It also helps that they don’t put too much makeup on him.

I really like DS’s pants lol. It’s unique & when he lets his overall straps hang lose. He looks very comfortable.

Wow, this drama isn’t out & it has 13k comments.

Yep, nothing has changed. It actually gets worst lol. XX gets placed in a lower department with incompetent fools. Only 2 ep in & DC has managed to annoy me lol.

Hope his interest is genuine & not because she’s an employee at YMedia.

The whole gossipy cringe fest amongst the employees was super annoying. I don’t know how anyone got the idea or even remotely insinuate a relationship between LM & XX is romantic??? Like everything they did was strictly work related. These people are idiots lol. Omg I can’t with them. The ex is complete trash. Can his character exit the show already pleeeeaaase :/. The whole phone tracking & attacking LM was just so messy & dumb.

Also, why is XX still listening to those darn wiretapped audio clips like it’s not an issue? She’s always getting the wrong impression of LM, which is annoying. Even her friend CY is slightly more sensible lol. I find DC intro to the story awkward. Why does XX always attract immature type of men? XX didn’t even get work done because DC wants to play dashing hero & got yelled at for no reason??? Like dude if you have an interest her just say so instead wasting her time with fake scenarios when she’s on the clock.

I thought the situation with LM & his family was going to be explored more? Everything ended in a divorce but it felt abrupt. It’s a bit sad since they have a child together :(. I hope LM leaves YMedia & startup his own media company because everyone at YM is garbage lol.

Thanks for the insight! I’ve never read that book so I was curious what it was about.

Age gaps dont bother me if it doesn’t involve romance or if both actors are adults. I’ve seen waaay worst. YKS is old but he doesn’t look so in the face.

Yep. He’s a renaissance man. I wish I had that many skills lol. That’s the shtick of DS’s character.

He’s like a freelancer, which isn’t a bad thing either. DS is the kind of guy who does things on his own time his own way.

Okay but LM house though. I’ve never seen a house/apartment complex built like that. It’s unique & cool. The way the scenes are shot in the house is clean. I like how it seems to visually represent LM’s current predicament on his relationship with his family, his work & himself. Everything is dark, gloomy & very closed in and he’s always sitting alone. But when he’s at work, everything is bright, energetic, & open. I like the juxtaposition. It’s a nice stylistic choice.

Yep. I wish to see more dramas like HST. It’s like looking through a ‘behind the lense/camera’ perspective when it comes to sports. No prob, great read!

I’m trying to suspend my disbelief on some of the writing choices
because I can only tolerate it to a certain degree even though it’s fiction lol. There has to be some logic & rational sense here lol.

I read that it’s the actor Lee Hong Yi who is also in this drama that sings it. I’m not sure what’s the title of the song though. The melody does have that classic old school vibe of early 2000 dramas.

The fact that he has the mental capacity to do all that while being good at it is pretty awesome in my book. In this day & age it’s hard to find remotely one financially stable job specifically during the pandemic lol.
