Bish... Poia picked it up from my ptw list as a group watch and I already regret it (on episode 5 at the moment).
Why is the plot on crack? Why FL makes no sense? Why ML has exactly zero personality? Why they gave me 2 fucking time jumps in 3 episodes and all the development happened behind the scenes? Why is the writing so weak? What's the plot of the first 4 episodes? What's the point of this whole show? What;'s the point of me watching it? R.I.P.

I hate myself

I hate myself 🙃

Yeah but I also scrolled down comment sections and majority of people write a long comments explaining what are their problems not just "writer sucks". That said, there are barely any negative comments in the first place.

It's not like the comment section is flooded by hate and criticism. It's rather chill compared to other shows. So I'm not even sure who does your comment is suppose to target.

There is also something called criticism, maybe you never heard of it 🙃

HAPPY DEBUT TO IXFORM!!!!
oMG... I cannot. I did cry a bit 😂

They showed Han Seung Gi as someone who puts profit and minimalizing loses as top priority, hence I believe he would agree to give Ban Seok permanent position for the tech he made. He does not give a fuck about employees but he cares about $$. That tech means chance of losing less $$, hence logically speaking there is no reason to turn down the possible proposal Ban Seok could make.

He made a decisions that lead to the least damaged made, making a deal with Ban Seok would give him best result. With how they presented Han Seung Gi's character, he would go for it.

But yeah, putting that aside, I just wish be would try to do anything to secure his own well being. Being good is good, but only if it does not hurt people you are responsible for.

The most profitable for them is installing the tech, coz it deal with the problem they have and minimalizes the chance of potential lawsuit. Literally the CEO would not care about spending minimal money to give him permanent position, if it would lead to fixing the problem and proceeding with the sell off with less chan ces of future problems.

Ban Seok is asked to make it work in a week, aka they want to make it work before the sell off. It would be illogical not to try to implement it. It's not a bad piece of a technology. With it, he would have higher chances of getting hired in different company. While I appreciate him trying to act in a way that helps others, he should also try to secure his own well being, coz he is not alone, he needs to think about his family too.

It's not like Do Hyun is presented as this perfect guy, he is not - he is extremely introverted and shy, to the point he cannot voice his opinions and emotions properly. That's a massive flaw that he would have to overcome. He is good to Na Bi coz he had crush on her for years, bot honestly speaking, his actions are not over the top amazingly nice. He is just a decent guy.

As for him standing between Na Bi and Jae Eon, she literally not long time ago told him about her awful relationships past and how bad it was for her, it's not weird for Do Hyun to assume Jae Eon might be part of that bad past. I get between my friends and assholes too, if I know they struggle with assertive behavior.

Would love that for representation we have not seen in kdramas, but it would also mean her relationship with Kyu Hyun will not work. It's obvious he he values the "romance" part of a relationship a lot, and he wants to go on a cute dates etc. so for them to work she would either be forced to live the life she does not want to, or he would have to ignore his needs for her sake...

Exact way she gained that power might not be relevant to the plot itself, but for me it's important to make her realistic villain. As of now she is too cartoonish for me. It makes no sense how she became so powerful. If the now dead president of foundation thought he can deal with her while she already has so much power, why did he not think about dealing with her years ago when she had none, except from few evidence she had? We can see how the powerful can EASILY manipulate media and people, the idea he could not deal with one young girl blackmailing him is just weird with the set up of the society they shown.

Jin Joo was a fan, but she also did her job well, checked the facts etc (as seen when the new useless judge showed up believing every sentence anyone said to him). And her being such a huge fan literally works against her being so easily influenced by Sun Ah.

Take a hint? What hint? It's clear Ga On loves her too, but she can't do shit about it, if he keeps claiming he does not. It's not like she can force herself on him.

for me, it's not a smart writing when it affects the cohesion of the world building, and that's what I see here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . They act as if the powerful have so much power they got away with everything since forever, and now only Yo Han can big the dirt on them, while also showing they are not powerful coz a young girl easily manipulated the controlled one that was the most powerful. It does not add up.

Thoughts after episode 7:

While it is close to entertainment masterpiece, there are more and more ridiculous plot lines that are not being explained, so it's far from being writing masterpiece.

So, I was right about Sun Ah and SA. The thing I find ridiculous about this tho, it makes no sense how she claimed up that social ladder. He assaulted her when she was young and just started working for him - even if she had recorded said assault, she had no power nor people on her side, it would be so easy to just kill her and make the problem go away. It's extremely convenient plot wise, that we get no detail on how she managed to get that creep under control to such an extend.

Also, I find it weird that Ga On would never try to check on the con artist that fucked up his parents. To even see if he is "fine" in the prison or if he is suffering... or anything. Not even mentioning him living with Yo Han... that's just dumb as fuck.

Jin Joo being SO easily influenced by Sun Ah makes little sense too. They clearly showed her as someone who has her own ideas and views, but one line from Sun Ah and she is like: bitch is right, Yo Han is shady. What even.

Overall... I think Sun Ah is powerful in a laughable way? Like... she "charms" everyone, and why I can get most people, it would not work on everyone (Yo Han does not count, he trusts no one, not even himself 🤣). Especially since she is not even trying to hide she creepy as fuck.

For Yo Han... I still like him as a character, but damn I am not on board with him as a human being. Truth to be told... the only characters I like as people are Soo Hyun and Elijah. And I think this will be a bit of a downfall for me with this show: I just don't care about anyone. As far as I know everyone can die by the end and it will do nothing to me 🤣

Anyway, it was time to rant... while I still enjoy it, some shit is just ridiculous and dealt in a "lazy writing" type of way. Maybe they will expand on the topics I'm off about, but doubt. The creep is dead, they ain't gonna drag his story longer.

Well, I'm writing it in context of the article and what the production teams claims. If remaking a movie into a drama is what they see as "fresh ideas" then their standard is pretty low.

I have no problems with adaptations, but then they should not act as if it's a new fresh groundbreaking idea for a show, when it's not.

Yeah but I would not trust that company about anything. Getting a contract that will give him additional 2 years of work, he could gain more programmer skills and slowly look for a better job. I would be scared they will just fire me while selling the company off, after using my technology hahaha

there are pure intentions, and there is being stupid hahaha it's about him being able to support his family... not just him being greedy.

yeah but like... he decided to "help" he can also gain some benefits 🤣

I don't get why Choi Ban Seok is not negotiating and getting himself more from that detecting system?

He could EASILY secure himself a reassignment to a development team in other of Hanmyung's units after fixing the dishwashers and dealing with the sell off 🤣

I'd be like: bish, you can use my technology, but first lets sign an official legal agreement that I will be moved to a development team in different unit after sell off. And lets add to that: you can't fire me for first 2 years after reassignment.

Bish has all the power now, and he is not using it. It's his own system that was not created in the workplace but his own home, using his own items and pieces of equipment so unless he agrees for the Hanmyung to use it, they cannot just take it away. They would easily agree to give him secure work place, if it means dealing with the losses of $$ they are about to face 🤣🤣

The contest aims to recruit fresh ideas from rookie to veteran writers < fresh ideas they said, as they asked them to write a drama version of already existing story 🤣

That's the problem with dramas lately: we get, ramakes, remakes of remakes, 4 seasons of the same story, movie and drama version of the same story...

I mean, he is still straightwashed, even tho he did not end up with any of the girls. They were really cleared with making sure he was shown to have feelings to Young Ran in the past.

it's impossible to predict if you would like it as much as I did coz it was so dumb, or you would hate it and want to (┛ಠ_ಠ)┛彡┻━┻
I think i was in a right mood to watch it: tired from work, with cold beer and just chillin trying to get entertained 🤣

yeah first two episodes were good 🤣
but then all the deep meaning good content is only a background and the romance becomes the focus. I would advise to watch more episodes before calling people out on criticising the romance 🤣

Same here. I truly don't mind So Bin. The worst part is, at the beginning they set up quite a few nice conflicts for her that would be perfect way to build a character development on, but it never happened, and the conflicts either just disappeared or were solved by other people and not her...
Which is sad, coz she could have worked, if the writers cared about her as an individual character and not just love interest for Yeo Joon :(
