Last 2eps cases made no sense all we got from them Is fl is pretty made the bad guy let them "win"Today…
Could today's case also imply how people can change? The Yun from "3 years ago" doesn't really feel like the Yun we know in some ways. Sure, he's still cut throat, but he seems more ethical with his dealings now?
NGL it's rather ironic that they potrayed him in that way when I looked down and judged the L&S lawyer from the neurodivergent artist's case for doing the same thing.
It's not a ban though - even the founding partner is fine with him dating😉
True. Even i feel like we'll probably only get some kind of hint at the end of the drama - specially since they have the second couple too to fulfill the romance requirement.
About his relationship with his other co-workers, i guess it's important to consider the duration he knows them?
From the people we know he trusts, KHM is the only person he's known for a really short time? But he seems to be at his most vulnerable point with her?
With the senior, he has a lot of respect towards her. With the second couple, he's known them for a long time too (but the fact that the 3 of them do not really meet up nor really know much about eachother's connections suggest that even if he is comfortable with them, he doesn't really share everything? )
PS: in case you didn't see the many warnings about ep 23, for your own peace of mind, if you want to only enjoy the writer's intended ending, stop the video at about 32.58ish in ep 23).
Personally I didn't mind the censorship loophole ending for the most part but then again I've learnt to be charitable with C-Timetravel dramas so that could be why🙈
To understand what happened in ep 20-23, we need to go a few years/ episodes back.
Once the SML finds out that GXJ and Lin are dating, he leaves the country to study overseas. 2 years into the MC's relationship, GXJ finds out that Lin has been hiding something crucial and takes a breather from their relationship to process her feelings (won't spoil what happened). The SML somehow finds out about this and assumes that she broke up with Lin and so he flies back to China to win her hand. GXJ clears the misunderstanding and as a gesture of goodwill to a friend, she hinted to him that he should invest in AI.
A few days later, our clueless SML decides to surprise GXJ at her lab without any prior notice. He accidentally overhears the MC talk about their shared experience from the future and how the SML used to date GXJ. Hearing this, the SML abruptly leaves (and goes back✈️✈️✈️)
A few years later- 2024 of the new timeline, Lin and GXJ are now working together to release their latest smart car C2 (they are also now in their "talking with the parents phase right before officially proposing" stage). While looking for investors, they get contacted by a mysterious uber rich investor. This turned out to be the SML.
At first the SML acts like he is no longer into GXJ but it turned out to be false- since the SML knows that there was a version of him who got to date GXJ now he firmly believs that he too has the right to date her now that he has become successful instead of being a bum like his former self. Using his investment and influence, he tries to sabotage Lin's project by planting false proof that Lin's vehicle is dangerous and doesn't do what Lin claims to do. The SML pretty much becomes a bit psycho and obsessive after that and crosses the line (typical cdrama plot). Eventually GXJ, Lin, and their team are able to save the day and the SML ends up going to prison (and that's the last we hear about him)🙈
His transition may seem odd but honestly if you think about it, it kind of makes sense. Even as a kid he kept manipulating GXJ into liking him even if they were harmless schemes back then. But the increasing obsession was always there🫠
(Sorry for the long message btw and hope you are still enjoying it!)

The ex's drama is over. Yun took the first step to let go of the past by putting proper boundaries with the ex. He also admitted that he feels vacant. So at least we are free from that arc 😁
As for the rule, Kdramas and Cdramas do love to play with ironic rules like that with CEO romances so I guess we shouldn't be too worried just yet?
Yun is a serious guy but at the same time we do know that once he let's his guard down, he pretty much melts (the flashbacks with his ex + the fact that he didn't notice his wife's loss of love because he just believed they were at a new phase of love kind of confirms it). Yun needs somebody he could truly talk to and so far in his life the closest he has is his assistant. But now with KHM, he is able to speak his mind freely just like how he used to with the ex. If they are able to overcome their personal feelings about a senior-junior dating eachother, Yun might break his own recommendedrule.🤭
I'm so torn with this honestly. His pushyness is such a turn off under normal circumstances. The only good thing…
A total win! The fact that they thought they could shame her in public 🤣🤣🤣
Some people are just so pathetic and delusional. She really was the scene stealer today! The fact that you know that she never even bothered to let her ex-family know that she was successful was truly empowering-perfect revenge🙂↔️
Are they going to date? Seems unlikely. Age gap also seems significant.
There is romance but if it's PDA you are looking for, my bet is on the second couple more than the MC. That being said, the MC too might have their own intimacy (at least emotional intimacy) since we keep getting very subtle sprinkles of it.
What we do know for sure is that KHM at the very least has a crush on him and Yun truly trusts her and is quite protective of her.
I know we're supposed to find Jin Woo's dogged persistence romantic and that Min Jeong actually probably likes…
I'm so torn with this honestly. His pushyness is such a turn off under normal circumstances. The only good thing is thanks to the dream sequence we know she's purposely pushing him away and not because she finds him creepy.
I mean in the dream, the way she told her mum about Jin Woo- it didn't feel like she was talking about a normal friend. She was kind of glowing? The way she said his name (sorry for the babbling)🙈
Since she is a divorcee with a child (traumatizing past too) and they have an age gap, it does make sense why she wouldn't want to risk her cherrished friendship with Jin Woo 🫠
Well, after today’s episode, I’m honestly NOT optimistic at all… like, seriously, what was that?? I’m…
Don't lose hope yet. Their conversation today as well as the tea cups can signify a transition.
During their conversation, KHM mentioned about how empty spaces can be replaced. Yun also mentioned that the main reason he used to love his ex-wife was because she gave him a safe space to speak his mind....and they ended the scene by showing a still of the "orange" amber coloured tea cups for a second too long. Orange=warm relationship.
IDK if we will get PDA but there's definitely promise of some kind of partnership at least between them eventually.
(If it helps, the preview sounds promising- the menacing growl)
The random woman isn't someone we should bother about since it's obvious that she's related to a case.
{second lead character } X { ex wfe } = Took away all the scenes 💀📉It's so frustrating asf to watch i skip…
We need the ex wife scenes to ensure that if Yun ends up with KHM it's with all his heart/ no hang ups. Fortunately, looks like today will be the end of that arc🤞
Seeing so many disappointed comments today regarding the MC's romance 🙈
Personally I feel like today was a good step (and the preview solidifies it). Today's topic was on shade of love.
Yun finally took the first step of letting go of his past. At the same time we can see that the MC's partnership transcends beyond something simple as romantic love or being professionals. They have mutual trust and are ready to listen and communicate with eachother (something Yun in particular values the most). We might not be able to see any PDA but we definitely will not starve from lack of emotional intimacy.
So I think today is a win.
PS: did Mr "Yun Handkerchief" make an appearance today? Or did I miss it?
I find their dynamic sooo interesting honestly. Like the assistant's behaviour and pushyness should be a turn off ideally but for some reason it feels ok this time.
if you think about it considering his position and wealth she will never win even with good lawyers he even made…
It's like what Yun said- you use the law the feel protected/ not alone. While there was no real punishment, in the model's pov, she was liberated from his toxic chains.
Ep 20-23 beginning is his villain arc. He makes random appearances between ep 1-12ish may be? But the scenes are not too long (just enough time to take a water break if you get what i mean). He leaves once he realizes the FL likes the ML to make himself better for her so the couple's beginning of their love arc is completely uninterrupted fortunately.

On a side note, I seriously loved how she handled her ex family. She really was bad ass🤺

It does help that we know how she feels 🙈
