Okay overanalyzing time....this shit went 0 to 100 real quick...now all the bad guys are "right" on their own…
Just my thought, it may have to do with the fact that Shin-Ah suffered through Noh's over the top performance requirement from a secretary for over a year. Noh's all about productivity, he is very competitive, so every bit off efficiency in the work-place matters. He, over time kinda started to expect those who work for him to be on the same level, especially his secretaries, in terms of efficiency and productivity. This obviously put them under huge pressure. I think just because you love someone, you don't necessarily forgive them for their past interactions with you. At least not quickly, it takes time. Although, Shin-Ah loves him now, she probably yet hasn't completely forgave him for their past memories working with each other. So, at the heat of the moment, unpleasant words came our her mouth. As far as Noh's lawsuit goes, I kinda understand. I mean, in dramaland, we generally expect the ML/FL to be forgiving and kind and stuff, especially in the later half of a show, if he had forgiven them immediately it would have looked kinda cliché. More importantly, I think, if you/we were going through what you Noh was going through in this episode, you/we all would have lost our mind. If Noh had time to really cool off before the secretaries came in to confess about their actions, maybe, he wouldn't have completely break down in anger and said those things about lawsuit and stuff and maybe wouldn't have even gotten angry at Shin-Ah and misunderstood her. Also, I mean, a flash-bomb kinda thing blowing at Shin-Ah's face, I mean, If I were Noh I would have been MAD. As far as Segi's idea of blaming Noh for his sister's death, there maybe a twist, looked like he was sent an anonymous letter and stuff and maybe have been manipulated/conditioned to believe that it was really Noh's fault. Not sure, this part will need clarification. Although, in case of suicide, it's my experience with life in general, that, the family members always lose any form of rationality and blames anyone that may have something remotely to do with their suicide. It's basically a human condition, imo, irrational, yes, but happens all the time.
Now, about the Ex-girlfriend's issue with "Not forgiving Noh", I think that part is yet to be explored. Probably she has gone through a rough, loveless marriage for like 12 years, and it probably has a lot to do with Noh's safety, maybe not just 12 years ago for a momentary period of time, maybe even after that, maybe long after that. This part obviously need some explanation, as we are kinda throwing darts in the dark atm. The communication issues regarding characters may have to do with building the plot itself, you can't really build a plot if there is no misunderstanding and no resulting tension. Anyway, these are just my thoughts on the matter.
I absolutely Loved, Loved ep 14. Why? Cause it was full of Tension and Intrigue. That's how you go about the ending half of a show, if there is no tension, really what's the point of watchin? Really, an amazing episode, so many things happened and so many answers are yet to be answered. This is the part of a show where things usually get dull, boring and lose momentum, However, this show is basically coming up the Biggest Punch in this later half. Now, truly in hindsight, it really does feel like that the writers had already thought about everything that they wanna do with the story from the very beginning. If they didn't, then that's an amazing improvisation nonetheless.
I think because this drama isn't typical and therefore less popular it alienates the more toxic elements of this…
I think you are right on the money. I think due to this show being pretty atypical, those who really appreciates it get involved in the comment section, so less conflict and assholery.
Just wanted to say that we are at 8.4 in the ratings right now. One more push and we will reach 8.5. I wanna urge those who are enjoying this show but haven't rated it yet to rate it high. If you are a new viewer, you may not not this, that the show, in the beginning after just like 1-2 episodes, were rated extremely poorly but many who didn't even watched the show and just read the synopsis, and also by who were for some reason motivated to rate the show very low after just like 2 episodes, with 14 episodes left to yet watch, not even at the halfway. All this resulted in a poor 6.7 ratings in the beginning, after that, it really has been an uphill battle for the ratings. I wanna thank everyone who has contributed in this battle. Now, in order to rectify the horrendous initial ratings, we now have to rate it high, in order for it to reach the ratings it quite frankly deserves If you carefully observe the ratings of a contemporary drama called "A Business Proposal", you would see that the initial ratings were very very good. And for that, even though the show lost it's charm halfway, and very much so at the end, it still retained an astounding rating of 8.8. Now, I am not saying that you can't like that show, that's obviously your choice. But, if you look at the "Reviews" section of that show, you will see the reviewers gave it mostly 6.5-8.0, in this range, after the show had ended. Many gave even like 5, 4.5 etc. What it means, is that even though the show disappointed the viewers at the middle and end part, it still retained a great rating like 8.8, due to the initial momentum in both ratings and also the initial reviews. And that's where this show was unfortunate, due to many factors. So, for that reason I am urging you viewers to rate it high, possibly higher than you might wanna rate it. Again, that is if you enjoy this show, I am not really trying to coax you into doing it if you don't like this show. I would also like to urge those who comment here regularly, to write some comments regarding the initial poor ratings of 6.7 every now and then. Because, many new viewers might not know this, and they either may not end up rating it (due to forgetting or some people are not generally interesting in rating a show) or may end up rating without considering the initial injustice that was shown to this show. You can also copy-paste this comment every once in a while if you are busy and can't really explain all this to the new viewers. I won't mind at all. It's all for the benefit of this show. God bless you all.
Based on the ep 13, I think the show is going in the right direction in this final half. There is significant amount of mystery left to unveil and shady characters to explore.
Isn't Lee Sung Yeob just adorable!!!! With his looks it was pretty much criminal that he was just cast as either Negative characters or as 2nd Male lead. Really really happy for him for this upcoming high profile drama as the ML.
Hope this comes true.
