I understand your point but it’s too biased against the ML. Of course it’s never good to oppress his subordinate…
Well she never cheated even if she was really married Kiss can not be established as a full cheating She never try to connect him Never had intercourse with him. Emotionally and physically never cheated
Naah ...hard disagree! Even as a woman, I find your perspective to be highly biased against the ML. Firstly, she…
Well technically, it was just a few kisses and nothing more sexual happened between them. I’m not denying the wrong things she did — hiding her identity, lying about her marriage, and the potential legal implications. Those are all valid criticisms.
But if the ML is so upright and righteous, why didn’t he report it to HR immediately? If this was such a massive moral and professional breach, the correct protocol exists. He didn’t follow it. Instead, he shifted the situation into a personal grudge and started mixing emotions with power dynamics.
And the “fake mom” angle is something we as viewers know — NOT something the ML knows. You’re judging her based on information that only the audience has. The ML doesn’t know she faked being a mother. From his point of view:
He met a woman on Jeju
They played the fake couple act
They shared a moment (the peck/lip touch)
He kissed her again
They went on a date
They were mutually about to get physical before she disappeared
For him, this was a big emotional experience — he searched for her for days or months.
Only after all this did he discover she was a married woman with a 6-year-old kid. At that point, yes, he absolutely had the right to walk away and protect his reputation. But he also had a responsibility to separate personal emotions from professional space, especially as a boss.
Instead:
He bullied her
He acted petty
He behaved like a jealous teen instead of the rational, calm, controlled gentleman he was introduced as in Episode 1
I get that Jang Ki-young has insane screen presence and the chemistry looks intense — he’s great at that. But don’t you think the context of this “sexual tension” is actually really troubling?
For me, it’s hard to enjoy any of these scenes when the male lead is basically abusing his position. He’s her boss, he thinks she’s married, and yet he’s still cornering her emotionally, sexually, and professionally. That isn’t seduction — that’s power imbalance, harassment, and honestly the kind of behavior that would be a crime in a real workplace.
So I’m curious: Do you still find the tension enjoyable even with the way he pressures her, tries to force her resignation, and treats her like an object he’s entitled to? Because the drama has gone from flirty to straight-up toxic, and I can’t look past that.
I wish the show kept the witty, respectful vibe of the early episodes instead of turning the male lead into a copy of his abusive father. The chemistry was great — but not when it comes through coercion.

Ah, yes. The legalities of their marriage are a bit tricky. Technically, Meri and Woojoo are still husband and…
Well legally it was and still her husband was silenced by defamation While he was trying to expose scammers In court he can prove she was living with other man while still married to him...
Believing anything happening in south Korea can effect world is overstatement
Woman' can't live without depending on man, that was the main reason of there for e romance They can't show independent strong woman, without a man that will hurt man ego...
I see what you're saying, and I agree that portraying the stigma in its raw form is necessary to challenge it.…
Yup Even at then end he emotionally blackmail her into loving him.. because if she doesn't he might die so... Instead of love it feel like emotional damage
Maybe the “love” wasn’t the typical K-drama romance kind —but it was there, in the little moments. Maybe…
Yes, I can also see and respect your point of view about that flawed kind of love, and I get the story’s intention — showing love and affection in that awkward, quiet way both characters were trying to express.
But honestly, the execution failed miserably for me because of the very poor acting from the male lead — and later, the female lead also joined him in his bad-acting club. The whole revenge plot ended up being carried by that old, dying man. I just couldn’t see any logic in marrying the bodyguard, and everything from episodes 3 to 10 felt like filler with weak performances.
That old man’s acting — as a father who lost his young daughter — was the only thing that truly moved me. His pain and anger felt real, and even with limited screen time, he made me sympathize with him far more than the leads. His performance actually made it harder for me to believe in the supposed love story, since the ML’s expressions and eyes never conveyed anything genuine.
Well then, I absolutely detest and dislike this kind of drama. I feel terrible about shows that try to glorify men by reducing a woman’s worth. No strong or genuine man needs to lower a woman’s dignity just to feel good about himself. A true man with real self-esteem is someone who doesn’t feel small when his wife earns more or holds more power—and still doesn’t need her to bow down to him to feel valued.
Kiss can not be established as a full cheating
She never try to connect him
Never had intercourse with him.
Emotionally and physically never cheated
