Yes before kidnapping they had that huge fight where he was trying to treat her to a dinner and she broke the piece with Climbing carabiners interclocked.... the symbol of their love... and she threw it into trashcan.... and he asked for divorce.
Seems like they slept separate for years already?
the key is... when he walked into her room the next morning.. and found she was gone... it was clear he was in habit of walking into her room to check on her... and he found the two Climbing carabiners interlocked in her room.... Basically, she was saving it. She picked it out of the trash and brought it to her room. She still loved him.

ok if you think so. I still stick to my opinion. Some earlier scenes are not "real"
I think this ML is .. well... roughly speaking, like an autistic person. He cannot communicate with ppl who show hostility to him, and in general, he does NOT communicate. He is just a genius surgeon in OR and a space cadet in daily life. He also keeps secrets. Like... that female doctor.
He has trouble with emotions - in other words, he is somehow "mentally disabled"
And I think ML actor does not know what that really is and thus some scenes feel fake .
Yeah he is a very good actor. But every actor will have blind corners of stuff they cannot 100% relate to, I think Love in Sync therapy would be helpful :) Or not. It is not pleasant to really know what those space cadet states are. I think he can try to watch gifted children to find out

oh you think the video is real? It is certainly possible. He was drunk. But imo the video must be manipulated in some way bc the driver was already waiting for him.
The dark stuff is in the little snippet of "working late" without any explanation, the female doctor in love with him and his "friend" or "hidden enemy"? in love with her......
Is this drama about breaking ML's robotic calm..... ?
ML is a super famous genius neurosurgeon and so he is a public figure and target by default, yet he behaves like he is mr. anonymous
One thing is for sure, before their kid died, FL really loved ML, and he was doing something at night and not telling his wife. After the kid's accident, FL turned into an evil monster.

wow all these husbands just bring the money and let the kidnapper take it and tell them to bring more money ... .. and this repeats over and over and over again... wow

luckily our space cadet ML starts getting more crafty as the drama goes on, by ep 4 he is passable grounded; and also, his wife starts showing signs of humanity, she is not totally evil/selfish/immature.... So.....

zillion of kdramas make plot 100% out of POLICE STUPIDITY and/or CORRUPTION lol
very global phenomena
on purpose lol bc ... who steals the most? lol those in power... who pay the police

This is a very technical criminal too and police are totally unprepared to handle that

The female voice in the other room is clearly kidnapper's

This is sooo interesting to watch a typical kdrama sexism in reverse....

Here, we have the ML who is essentially mentally disabled LOSER CLUTZ FOR LIFE, not able to talk with people, say what he needs to say, think clearly, behave rationally and with common sense, he is just .... a genius surgeon who is totally disfunctional outside of OR.
ML IS JUST A MACHINE FOR SURGERIES

ML has NO empathy in his personal life - the way he just stood there unable to comfort his wife when their kid died is ... just ... mental illness. And his wife is an evil toxic person, why blame him? First of all... where were her parents??? and ... this fancy hospital she owns has no other good surgeons.. ??? ML is the only good surgeon there???

ML is mentally ill
so he lacks ability to relate to real life, so ... the way he behaves -
ML is a space cadet LOSER DUMB
and the police - if a person can spoof their IP, they can likely create AI videos...
and our genius surgeon cannot think about that. Wow the dude is DUMB

perhaps the wife is sorry about trying to let that man lose his legs in ep 1

100% to everything you said
This drama has no likeable characters. Wife and her mom/dad are greedy evil monsters
ML is the only decent person but he is a TOTAL robot clutz-for-life non-communicative distant MORON
and ML actor's acting here is not always good. There are many scenes where it is clear he is pretending, not acting

is he a starving actor having to accept any script offered... ?

but his acting here is not always good. There are many scenes where it is clear he is pretending, not acting

BOTH are about unlikeable main characters
Husband ML is at least a decent person but a total clutz for life . FL is an evil sellout/ The drama is a melodrama about some typical REALLY toxic relationships

Apartment Job is 100% about professional criminals, It is more "fun" but dont be fooled, the characters are NOT to be rooted for. I dislike the setup. The value of the drama is that it is 100% LIKE REAL LIFE IN THE USA, the skimming and stealing from common building funds is epidemic in the USA, rigging the board elections, etc so I am curious to see how the drama will address it

Ah for those who do not read - be cursed for making me type again -

the apartment complex situation in this drama is VERY SIMILAR to the real life in the USA, and everything the old manager said, is true for the USA real life

So tell us about yourself and why you are so interested to hush up the fact that the drama is a portrayal of real life. Are you.... a property manager? a lawyer? a judge?

Yes... for ... monastics... impotent... old... sick... and perhaps criminals

and this drama is NOT entirely about them

Do you also get why she refused surgery on that man in ep 1 bc "hospital has schedule"? how come you conveniently decided to forget that critical detail that shows what a selfish monster FL and her dad are?

FL is an evil selfish monster, a super weak person, a materialistic greedy person, JUST LIKE HER FATHER - and mother.
So there is no sympathy for FL.

ML was in surgery when their kid had an accident and FL AND HER PARENTS HAVE $$$$$ AND THE HOSPITAL WITH ZILLION DOCTORS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT.

FL AND HER PARENTS SHOULD BLAME THEMSELVES FOR THE KID DYING.

ML is probably guilty for not comforting her enough after the accident, he is an idiotic robot, and FL is such an evil monster that it would be impossible to have her comforted. The two of them are guilty for NEVER communicating. Two adult morons. Very weak and toxic ppl
And her family is plain EVIL
And she is just like her mom and dad - sheer EVIL

He is sooo super skinny and pale... and so when I see him, I want to make him eat and gain some muscle

@chetelli Well there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for her refusing the surgery of that man in ep 1 bc "Chairman Kim is scheduled"
**** Call it as it is - the wife is an evil monster, just like her father *****

As for the accident and losing their kid - if ML was in surgery, he could not take the call. It is what it is, he is not guilty. Why didnt FL call the front desk and had someone banging on the door of the OR? But even then, if he is in the middle of the surgery on the spine... he cannot just leave the OR !!!! he has to finish and THEN run to his child. Also, if he knew in the middle of the surgery that his kid is in trouble, he would have messed up that surgery.

So it comes with the territory - that dad was NOT available when his kid had problems. But - his wife has $$$$, has her 2 parents, owns a hospital.... SO WTH WERE THEY DOING????

IT IS WIFE AND HER PARENTS WHO MESSED UP. SHE SHOULD BE BLAMING HERSELF AND THEM.

Heck that is a big hospital, isnt there any other good surgeon to operate on his kid???? Are you saying the entire hospital has that ONE GOOD DOCTOR????

The problem is in what happened after that surgery was over and ML got out of the OR . I didnt watch past ep 2 yet but:
I highly suspect he too becomes guilty at that point, I suspect, he probably did not comfort his wife enough. He is a clutz robot, and she is plain evil. So between the two, I am sure he did not comfort her enough, and she blamed him for everything.
Those two never communicated - both are guilty of being total total total morons

to be honest, it is better for that child to be never born to such EVIL mother and grandparents, and to be trained to be yet another monster, plus have that robot-like unavailable distant uncommunicative clutz-for-life super busy career father
That kid avoided a very miserable life by checking out early

EXACTLY

I think there are 2 issues - during and AFTER accident. OK he was in surgery during the accident, could not take the call, that's legit. BUT AFTER - did he comfort her afterwards???? I BET HE DID NOT. He cannot communicate and behaves like a robot.

And his wife is a monster. Leaving that man without operation to lose legs just bc "hospital runs on schedule" - THE WIFE IS A VERY BAD PERSON, just like her father

they are just not nice ppl.... the FL is an evil monster, that was clear in ep 1 when she refused to operate on a man who was going to lose his legs bc that man would jump the line for surgery and "hospital has to run on schedule"
and ML is a moron, to be honest. A genius surgeon but ... such a clutz for life. A TOTAL moron. Cannot communicate, has no common sense, ....

wow the Husband is rather ... completely CLUELESS as a "detective" - he lacks common sense for LIFE, no wonder his wife was so angry
Luckily h e keeps getting better.... so is this drama to see how far Mr. CalmRobotSurgeon can be pushed?
