i watched for the rom-com, first phase (episode 1-8) are beyond my expectation. But yes, episode 13 are a down.
The dead of chief Hong (grandpa of Hae-In) are a device to change Hae-In character, from cold workaholic to a wife who didn't hesitate to speak her mind to her husband (if she love him, she gonna say it now). And many good change too.
The dead of chief Hong didn't help his family situation, although Moh Seul-Hee lost her legal power because of it. That pen (record pen), it just contain chief Hong regret in his life, nothing to do with his family situation, too bad. Thats plot just a device to change Hae-In character to become loveable.
The plot are bit messy, especially ep13, it's fan service episode to show the cuteness of main couple.
I'm just too far to drop this series. It's good enough untill episode 13, i consider to stop watch it while it's good.
