How was he aware? He asked them to take the whole company and Sa Ha went over the contract as well.

With respect, people who watch the show through one eye because of some misplaced loyalties should just stop. You've already missed half the show and don't know what's going on.

Yet, HJP has no patience with others' struggles even though he went through same.

I just don't understand the backlash, because I loved this episode. Up to point where things obviously went a bit south, but I think HJP can't just run in now and blame them for what happened with the contract. He's their mentor and he didn't even turn up for Demo day. He didn't even give them the time of day from the start, telling them they'd fail. He still only cares about Dalmi and not Samsan Tech. Eesh.

I don't feel jidal at all. While there's oozes of chemustry between Dosan and Dalmi. Don't really know what the uproar is about. I do like HJP, but for romantic bit I'm definitely leaning the other way.

Watching them being mad at each other for ages would have been extremely irritating.

Wasn't it HJP that's been treating DO San badly all the time? He"s not had one good thing to say to him. Should BDS jyst sit back and take his constant critical attacks, demeaning the hard work Do San and his team has put in in the most crass way, without even flinching.

Also, there's a pretty good reason for Do San to dislike HJP. HJP has been nothing but crass and disrespectful towards and about Do San. Even telling Dal Mi that he dislikes Do San. ?? Hopefully HJP will learn to tone down his crass, filterless way of communicating speaking to people who ask for help. It now even seems that someone killed himself because of it. Hopefully if growth is to be had for HJP, it will be to learn to treat people with respect, no matter who they are. Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for him, but this is how I see it

I absolutely adore this drama. Especially LDW. He just really shines. His acting is amazing and also the chemistry is pretty good. Others might disagree with me, but a show where the main leads had no chemistry recently, for me, was Record of Youth. Kim Bum also pretty great. But that's just me. Story getting better and better.

Is it just me, but I find the dialogue extremely clunky and unnatural. It's annoying because I like the story..

I kind of maybe slightly agree with you on Encounter, but his kisses in Reply 1988 were Hot!!

I think it has more to do with the directing. All the kisses in REply 1988 were hot. Go Kyung Pyo kisses very, very steamy too.

Also, the dialogue between male and female lead doesn't seem natural. I hate this fast talking thing that they sometimes have. I don't know, something feels off. Even the two mums. The way they talk and act are similar and weard. I think it's a directing thing, but there's something about it that I don't like.
