underrated or not tbh it's doing very well viewership wise! It's also never boring or at least not to me. I see people complaining about the endless obstacles... but I mean it makes sense given that they're in an IMF crisis and the CEO has never worked a day in his life prior to his father's passing. And even if he was a seasoned businessman, failure after failure is very much a part of every journey. I think it's so interesting to watch them struggle and fail and then find silver linings in the little things. If there weren't so many obstacles THEN it would get boring. I really enjoy the dynamics between each character too, like everyone has each others back or eventually comes to that point. It's so heartwarming

Nammo was so blunt with him! Why do you chew gum? ohh just dig him a grave.

I also wish miseon would give in a little!! But at the same time I understand her. She's not only a hard worker, she's an eldest daughter who basically has been running her household and raising her younger siblings. TP is a little immature and seems like a playboy, so it makes sense as to why she guards her heart a little bit with him. She's also very independent, and based on the preview I think she says something like I don't want to be dependent on you emotionally. I think that's such a mature and nuanced thing to touch upon especially in drama. We've seen that she lacks confidence in herself, so she needs to find herself before she can be with someone else or else you end up being codependent on each other and that's suffocating and not healthy. The same thing for TP. He depends a lot on miseon and others because he's also not confident in being a CEO. They need some more time to grow into their new positions in life as individuals before they start a relationship.

this drama makes me feel like im trying to do mental gymnastics. I understand the plot and everything and why she's upset. I mean he's definitely messed up for what he did, and I think anyone would be distraught to find out that their best friend was dead and their twin covered for them. Actually that's a little morbid. I also understand his character. However, I don't know... While I can understand them both ...they both piss me off .... like can she just calm a little .... you can dislike someone and what they did to do without being over the top childish...and he's like ehhh oddly cocky? idk I'm gonna wait till all the episodes are out I guess

I stopped watching them and started looking at sandwiches only

oh yeah totally. I mean makes sense given that the CEO's only qualification was "son" eheh.

I know Mi-seon is very much aware TP likes her genuinely, and she obviously likes him too. I think it's more so that she for one lacks confidence in herself which was very apparent in the 7th and 8th episode. She doesn't seem to think that he would ever really like her when he could get someone else. I think she's such a well written character because she's so real. I like that every character is going through their own personal journey in a way that isn't very in your face as to take away from the main plot, but naturally unfolding little by little. I hope tomorrow she can understand how much she means to him lol

yessss thank you. I wouldn't even want to watch a drama where the character was devoid from flaws, it'd just be a complete turn off cuz you can relate to that. People watch shows and grow fondness for characters because they carry qualities of ourselves or those around us, so it creates a sense of familiarity.

Aha I knoww .... ugh and she's a very good actress...Pachinko more than proved that. They just had LJH sing but I hope they have her sing too ! she's literally a triple threat

oh yeah for sure lol I wasn't disagreeing with you ....def majin is gonna see she's an asset... I mean she learned enough Thai to get them through at the station too

I mean it's just a drama lol so can only blame the writer ... also no one in real life is constantly upstanding... sometimes we're quick to stand up for others and other times we're hesitant. Doesn't mean our views changed, it's just that different situations require different reactions. He also does stand up for her, maybe not in the way you're hoping, but also need to recognize Korea or Asia in general is very "respect elders" even when their wrong, so he can't just scream at someone older and more experienced. They need majin too, bc they can't keep relying on the Pusan lady. And every character has flaws because theyre based on people. We don't always do the right things or say the right stuff so it'd be crazy to write that on paper bc that doesn't exist. Oh but you're right to point it out tho. I also had the exact same thoughts and lowkey an annoyance that he wasn't speaking up when he usually is very vocal.

I think they need someone experienced on their team. I mean the last sales only really went through because they had help of someone who was connected and already successful.

I think if taepoong does stand up for her, which he sorta did, it backfires immediately ..so no matter what he says or does I don't think it'll make a difference in how Majin would treat her. If anything I think it's also a necessary character plot bc this stuff even now exists in the workplace, sometimes subtly and other not so much. I don't think she NEEDs to prove herself to majin or anyone, but herself. She's insecure and it's understandable why her character is insecure too, and sometimes you need a little push to find yourself and build confidence.

the scene where taepoong confesses to her, like right before he does it I was thinking like omg she looks so so pretty even while she's a little disheveled and then he says the exact thing lol! but truly she's so unique and freaking pretty ...
like a lot of the female actresses get a ton of work done and it becomes uncanny watching them on screen. It's so refreshing to see someone who looks real and animated with facial expressions on screen. It makes her shine that much more

I agree and exactly what I was thinking while watching too. But then I saw some other people chiming in here, and they were like there's an added nuance given that the culture is very "respect your elders" so I guess he can't really fight majin on it as much ... he also needs Majin on board bc he's a seasoned trader and knows more than both him and Miseon ...but then again that mf bribed the guard so really what does he know lol

the first two episodes were so intriguing ....and this weeks episodes feel like a bit of a let down in comparison. It's a lot more silly now, which is fine, but the first episodes didn't set it up to be like that at all so it's a little jarring...

I really like this drama, there's a lot of themes going on in here but it never feels overwhelming. One thing I'm gonna say is, I really think they might pull a reply 1988 here. With Jaepil he's a bit frustrating, like he does show that he cares for young rye but it seems to come out only when there's competition, otherwise he doesn't seem to pursue her when we know that he's more than capable of doing that. You could argue he's traumatized but that's ridiculous because he never was even in a full relationship with Jonghui to be traumatized by that "breakup". Anyways there seems to more hints towards Heon. For one, he's daddy long legs, that pink flower symbolism and his pink suit (lol), and then him being more obvious with his affection towards her (as he's always been!!). Heon has been pretty consistent in being there for YR and he's openly calling her pretty (although clearly he's always thought that), him gifting her flowers, always at her house (lol)... Jaepil when he's asked, he's not open in even admitting that he likes her or might like her. Heon knows he liked her, and the reason I like this character is because it shows his love is pure in how he seems to respect who her heart leans towards. Ugh I want him to be with her. And I want Yeongsik and Jonghui ...I feel like theres so much more there than with JP ...for one yeongsik is like the male version of young rye so it makes sense

so do I! I find that her and JP I mean based on what we've seen in the previous episode it gives off more "friendship" vibes than lovers. With her and Heon there's more romantic undertones. Also JH and JP though ...idk why but I just don't feel much chemistry there. I think JH should be with YR older brother there was way more chemistry there. JP is lowkey the nice guy best friend who leads you on but will never see you even if you're right in front of him.

I wonder if it's because theyre gonna do a time skip

lol gave him a whole new character arc

oh I don't think it's that black and white. I mean by that logic we shouldn't hurt people we love yet people do it all the time. Doesn't mean they don't love them. I like that they make him less predictable and more complex. We've seen how his rage is, and that once he's in that state he doesn't see clearly even if he's smart-- highkey anger issues... But it wouldn’t make sense for him to suddenly listen to her while he’s enraged and devastated, with his mother’s death always on his mind and the people who drove her to it standing right in front of him. It's eye for an eye at that point. Just so we're clear, I'm not justifying it, but the situation isn't based on bizarre reasoning. She also can't be spewing everything in front of everyone at such a moment, that'd backfire lol
