XY character is too soft to play this “game of deception”. Her lies is giving high school drama and even a high schooler can detect her deception early on. She should take note from Jung somin character from Marry your husband Korean version. Thats how you play the game of deception. Also I do notice flaws in XY character development. XY’s journey from being emotionally neglected and attachment issues as a child to becoming an adult she still has values and integrity. XY is still considered and caring for her family despite her resentment about the past. Scenes she offered to pay her father’s treatment and support her sister etc…The substance why she had to lie about her lifestyle was not necessary compared to her character values. I want to see more dirty games XY is cooking before she is exposed lol.

Due to eps being under 50mins the way I see it they had to give a lot of snippets of timeline to audiences to build the complex narratives and drama. This structure can be complicated to portray that’s why certain transition in scenes are confusing or rushed. It’s not a simple storyline due to the deceptions and game each XY and SH is playing. I agree with you fashion/makeup in some moment as a viewer feels out of pocket and inconsistent. It’s funny you mention background music cause some sound effects is giving early 2000s lol but the ost is lit.

My theory is this couple won’t be together at the end of the series.

I appreciate the breakdown! I hope KU company is held accountable for exploiting and abusing Zhao Lusi.

Does anyone know how contracts work? Does Galaxy Cool Entertainment have the power to stop Love Ambition from releasing? Regardless of commitment and contracts in place. We are half way Sept and no official date has been announced of its release. They say they will do a promo toward the end this month but it seems unlikely. Media seems to gaslight us to stay tuned and not releasing shit. I hate how they tryna play my girl Lusi.

I disagree she was not general at first from scratch. It was easy at first because of her fancy title, privilege and the type of system of support she had accessed to. You stripped all these perks away and she came back as a nobody and look like a helper in the kitchen lol. Regardless her achievements in the past she is coming back starting from scratch! should have more complex in the portrayal of her character. Dynamic has shifted but they made it looked easy.

This show is highly disappointing. As a viewer I don’t feel the complexity of the FL entering a male dominated space to achieve her goal to reclaim her “legacy”. FL storyline seem more focus through the male gaze. It’s giving “walk in the park” to be a female general. I gave up watching this show 😩

*chef kiss* to the crew, writer, director and actors!! Job well done!!!

so far this is my fav k-movie!! the dedication to the storytelling that depicts social inequalities, economic disparities etc. I find this movie packed with metaphor and unique perspectives on life. I think they should use this film to for study in university. This has similar message to Squid game, like we all live in capitalist society.

I started watching c drama because of Zhao Lusi! Her ability to connect with audience in her acting are compelling and charming. I am a huge fan of her. I love Zhao Lusi’s fighting energy and the brave to stand up against not just her company but a capitalist system! I hope Zhao Lusi’s movement to challenge this system will create policies to protect employees from toxic working environment. Zhao Lusi WE see you, You empower us! You are heard and your fandom will always support you!!

Any updates when next episodes are released?
