I disagree. I think she is using the insecurity excuse to politely refuse her boss and not risk being fired
I am not sure if you are male or female and your age, but you do sound like a very young inexperienced woman who has not worked in her life for a living.

It is SUPER COMMON that the woman gets kicked to the curb when a male who was rejected or who dates her gets displeased. Rejecting a male in a higher position is suuuuuper risky. Dating someone in a higher position is suuuuuuper risky.

Saying NO to a courting boss at work is a very delicate task and will get you fired real fast
It has to be done super politically and under the radar, with excuses that he can accept and leave you alone without ANY consequences. That is the task worthy of a top global diplomat

LEAD MEN ARE TYPICALLY VAIN AND HATE REJECTION / DISOBEDIENCE IN ANY WAY, iie a man used to giving orders to everyone is going to be a big woozie when it comes to relationships...

Luckily Tae Poong is still new and not terribly stuck yet ... so she got away with rejecting him

Indeed. That is the peril of many women who had lovers at work, esp if he was some kind of senior to her (e.g. boss). WOMAN GETS KICKED OUT AND LOSES HER JOB IF SHE DISPLEASES THE MAN. So Mi So is very smart to be careful.

Well it is still real life .... esp as Pyo is literally hunting them down and they are not even aware. They think they run into him by chance. So they are not self defending and always fall into a trap

Nam-mo's mother is an evil troll. SHE lost all her money in a scam, has not learned ANYTHING from it, she is the same old shi#, and she gives all high and mighty sermon to her son and stomps all over his dreams and his love

I vote for her to exit NamMo's life :) ASAP. Obviously she is unwilling and incapable of any self reflection and change and she just is toxic to herself and him. She gotta go

MDL 8.0 is like 10 in real life LOL

The drama is super popular on Netflix global so ... that is what matters. No some MDL joke rating LOL A place that has some influence is Dramabeans and Viki

YES TO THIS ADVICE.
This group is not personal therapy :)

Probably at the times of economic crisis, ppl have no money to spend on flowers... One day when economy comes back, then he is gonna make it big

Are you male or female? How many women have been fired or harmed by an affair at work, esp with the boss? MS has to be super careful and always stay on TP's good side bc he has the power to fire her and even ruin her entire career. SHE SAID THAT. Until she is sure he is safe, she is not gonna act on liking him. Sure she likes him but she is careful bc SHE HAS TO BE CAREFUL, it is her livelihood and her family livelohood on line

Ah now we understand why you dont get a guy like that - you do not understand what is going on. First of all. MS did not refuse him out of insecurity but out of security. She is the breadwiner and he is her boss. She cannot risk getting fired or even losing her career. Her boss can love her today and kick her out tomorrow. She is not gonna act UNTIL she is 10000000000% sure he is sure and she has a backup job and financial safety plan in case he backfires.

TP loves MS precisely bc she is very down to earth, very mature, and is super competent, dedicated, hard working and helpful to him.

You are looking for someone who is NOT like TP and for a woman who is NOT like MS.

Those dudes exist :) UNTIL they get what they want :) then they change LOL

I think it is balanced, we see so many ppl suffering. There is no "technical" explanations about the crisis but I can see why the drama makers would leave it out, most people would get totally overwhelmed to THINK that much :)

hey did nt you see the end of ep 10 and start of ep 11??? PYO OWES HUG MONEY TO TYPHOON CO AND IS TRYING TO BANKRUPT THEM SO THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE TO PAY IT BACK.

Hm... is it only the apostrophe that creates that "French look"? Or are there any letters with little quiggles or dots, like in Germanic or Slavic languages?

i would LOVE to watch 100 episodes of them once they take off and start trading successfully... What they decide to sell, where they get it, etc... It would be so fun. We would travel all over the world. This would be a great "reality show"

What do you think real life is like for essentially a startup in a time of national economic crisis?

Everything changed... except that Typhoon did not make it big and steady in business YET. But it is on the way. So how can you possibly say that nothing changed?

The romance is a critical part of this business story. Love is why ML and FL stuck it out together and inspired each other.
BUT she cannot say yes to her boss :) bc he can harm her. So she is gonna wait until he proves 10000000000% that he will not harm her in any way. He is her boss. She can lose her job and her entire career if he decides to

Typhoon is practically a startup at the time of a national crisis, so hold on, they canNOT possibly take off overnight!!!! THere are many businesses that just died... ANd this one could too!!! and then the story could be about what they do when their work flops. Or this drama could be about a startup that struggles and finally makes it.

SO HANG ON. Our heroes here have to "cook" some more, they have not transformed enough yet.

I think many problems happen bc ML and Typhoon Co have not figured out yet that Pyo is their steady enemy. They think they run into him by chance and he then competes. But heck no...... **** PYO IS ACTIVELY HUNTING THEM DOWN *****. And they are not aware..... so they do not take precautions....

Also, ML and FL are a little too naive and do not even think that other employees could be doing something bad.... So far... that M dinosaur messed up the textile contract - didnt he work with Pyo on that? - then messed up Thailand... and nobody even held him accountable... gasp!!!! gag!!!! omg!!! The computer dude is 100% useless parasite.... Green Juice Lady took a bribe... Mr. Ko seems to have done something bad too.... The Typhoon family is DISFUNCTIONAL

Like.. the ex main accountant asking ML if his dad left something of value... ML should have asked her - hey why are you asking and what do you think that is, YOU were the accountant....!

But - it wil get resolved as ML is gonna have to learn fast or else go down. ML is just too naive still.

ML is very good at courting FL but he is her boss - and can fire her or spread slander and prevent her from getting another job - and she is the family breadwinner. She is not gonna risk her job for a fling.... ML could wake up angry one day and ruin her career and livelihood.... So he will have to persuade her that he is 10000% committed and that she has a backup if one day he gets mad at her and tries to harm her. She has to be 10000000% sure she has another job waiting for her and a good bit of savings.

It is ok to be honest, positive or negative. It is ok if characters annoy us or inspire us, it means the acting is good :)
Also, there are lots of trolls on MDL who try to shoot down competition, I am pretty sure of that, and also, there is immature audience, expecting quick fixes, etc.

For example, insisting that Typhoon finally quickly takes off big time without any troubles. Well ... for all practical purposes, Typhoon is a STARTUP in a time of national economic crises, AND it has a steady enemy it does not know about - Pyo - AND it has employees that were not always loyal... So... You gotta wait or 14 episodes before Typhoon takes off.

I saw that this drama was highly rated on Netflix, It was #5 before and now is #9 and all shows listed before it are new. So "new and interesting" came by. I am not sure how popular this is in Korea.
It is definitely an art piece, not some mindless trash, so it deserves high ratings.
