This has potential - Let's see where this is going

Just finished the first episode and I'm not convinced yet. Important to know though: Stay until after the outro, there's more! Might be a preview, but it didn't feel like it.Stil, this first episode seemed like they wanted to show us all the little details without actually ever giving a context to see them in. I only got hooked at around the last five minutes of the episode. One hour in, and we barely know anything about the actual story, about what happend or about the characters. It's hard to put into words, but I think I'm still looking for the reason why I should watch this. I hope the next episode will have a bit more...substance to it. With only 10 episodes, I'm not sure they can afford the current very slow pace much longer. Also, of course they had to employ two tropes I'm not very fond of and I hope they resolve these well. Generally, everything seems to fit so far, the storytelling matches the characters as well as the story they are trying to tell and the atmosphere they are trying to create, so I think this has the potential to be a high-quality show. I'm just not sure if it's my kind of quality yet. The take on bad luck as well as people's perception of it certainly might hold some interesting perspectives.

Four Stars

Wasn't THAT sure how Ze Shou felt about Li Shou (although the kiss in episode 2 said a LOT). Here, I'm convinced he feels more for him than a friend and some part of him just doesn't believe he's good enough for him. The birthday gift meant a lot and he was very pleased to hear his flatmate speak soon highly of him to a colleague. As for his kissing men and getting shoulder rubs...I was kinda wanting things to move on ( someone tell someone how you feel!) but the pace is good, and the court case sub-plot interesting. Ying Ze is adorable - considerate and flustered. Yuki does a bit more than look gorgeous but I can tell why he'd annoy some. Ze Shou's sister was probably about to say something about what she thinks the relationship between our leads is, but she gets interrupted...

that bleedin laptop was so important, but…

that bleedin laptop was so important, but no one thought to copy the files?!? heck Koo Han Su looked like he knows his way around computers (he could open a password secured laptop) but he didn't think for a sec, to copy the whole contents??? but i guess - then no "drama" ******************************************************************************************************************************************really liking Koo Han Su, he is adorable, a bit naïve but also full of exuberance, he wants to learn & help & doesn't shy away from hard work. he for sure didn't back down or shy away from the cold shoulder he was getting from Sin Cha Il, he kept persisting till he broke through. was so happy for him, when Sin Cha Il told him his transfer was on hold.******************************************************************************************************************************************i don't like Seo Jin (yeah not really much to go on) but i don't like how she looks down upon Koo Han Su. maybe i am reading her wrong. maybe she is keeping him at arms length cause she has a secret she needs to guard 🤷‍♀️ time will tell. as of now i don't like her.

didn't think this would be as interesting…

didn't think this would be as interesting in the 1st ep as it turned out to be, bodes well for things to come (i hope). *******************************************************************************************************************************************personally i like Koo Han Su, he might come off as a brown-noser or a kiss-ass, but ironically he isn't or maybe he is a people pleaser. he is doing it cause he genuinely likes people & as a Korean has been taught to show respect to his elders & higher-ups. if he was fake & doing it cause of future recompensation, then he would've shown his true color, when interacting with the cold & distant (even rude) Seo Jin who is of equal statues. but he's the same towards everyone regardless & seeing his parents, he is his fathers son. ****************************************************************************************************************so enjoyed him & wish he adjusts to Sin Cha Il's brash, cold, no-nonsense personality. ******************************************************************************************************************************************but on a personal note; was so happy to see Jung Moon Sung, think he is a phenomenal actor & hope he got more screen time. about Shin Ha Kyun, he too is a great actor. but this the 2nd drama of his, i have seen where he is basically portraying the same personality. makes on wonder why he loves this type of character.

Aku Suka!

Episode pertama mungkin punya banyak sekali perbedaan dari episode pilot. Beberapa scene terasa kaku dan monoton, tapi entah kenapa karena aku suka para aktor yang memainkan peran series ini, aku tetap terhibur dan sangat menyukainya. Ryu di sini tidak punya banyak dialog, atau setidaknya punya dialog yang lebih sedikit dari Arm, padahal keduanya sama-sama main role. Episode kali ini benar-benar menganggap bahwa kita tahu alur ceritanya, padahal belum tentu - scene benar-benar abu-abu dan sulit difahami terutama di beberapa scene, namun alur ceritanya mudah difahami, beberapa adegan dimaksudkan untuk "link" ke suatu cerita namun kita sebagai penonton tidak akan faham, apalagi yang baru benar-benar menonton episode satu saja. Dari segi latar menurutku tidak menonton, warnanya juga standard mengingatkan pada "step by step" series. Vibes dalam series ini adalah hal yang paling aku suka. Tokoh utama dari series ini benar-benar sangat cocok menurutku. Saya tidak sabar menantikan episode selanjutnya.
