Finally someone who agrees with me! I made long comments about all the 4 episodes that came out till now, saying same things you said along with other criticism to her character and the plot, but most people who read my comments and replied would disagree with me. They keep defending her attitude and stupid, illogical behavior all cause she went through a break up so she should be forgiven for all crap she did, as if she is a 13 years old naïve brat. They almost made me think I was being awfully cruel and harsh. I mean this is a drama which is revolved around adults who are doing a really serious job that can save or kill people, yet they treat it like any typical high school rom com. Since we share similar mindsets then I will be glad if you decide to check my comments later and tell me what do you think about all things I pointed out.

Oh, it does make sense now that the tags don't 100% match with the plot. It's kind of a let down.

Glad to know that!

Yes and I already wrote a review about ep 4 on a new comment. If you want you can check it out and share your opinion again.

Ep 4 :
Well, I'm glad that the FL is finally starting to pick up herself and act a bit proper compared to the previous three episodes which made me really dislike her. I still don't like her much but if she keeps improving then I might end up liking her in the end, who knows. Her slip of tongue during the interview was another (But minor) mistake. Wish she explained more to the reporter than just end it with the low budget excuse. It's good she stood up against her ex about what his wife did and he didn't try to talk back like usual.
So now her ex is regretting not being with her? When everyone started praising her, he finally realize that he might've made a mistake and so he is the one who is starting to make stupid mistakes in his job. How ironic! He is basically a baby in a grown man body, kinda pathetic...him getting blamed for what his wife wrote doesn't make sense, it's not like he can control her in her work.
Also I can't stand it when co-workers think that they have the right to stick their noses into each other personal lives, like them insisting to know about ML "girlfriend" even though he made it clear that he wasn't comfortable enough to share it with them. Such conversations should be discussed in a café, not the office in front of their director even, and if someone makes it clear that he doesn't want to tell then they should just cut it and leave them alone. The FL shouldn't act panicked like that whenever they talk about the ML girlfriend cause she will end up busting herself out that way.
I guess it's good he is helping her a lot when it comes to work though (Because she obviously needs it since she doesn't has half of his talent) and am glad that she is starting to become more clear about her feelings to ML. I really hope their romance will not stay as a friend with benefit or something of the sort type, cause it's clear that he is really into her. But yeah, hiding their relationship for a while makes sense until they are 100% sure about what they want to do. I still don't like the whole concept of co-workers dating/dating in secrete overall, but they are still cute together, I admit it. ML is quite sly for making everyone think he is being a naïve, poor rookie who is getting bullied by his boss, that and the scene of him getting accidentally kneed on the stomach by FL were really funny.
Her mother is overdoing it with the whole going to shamans and ranking her daughter in weird places. Now she wants to kind of make her go through a matchmaking service?! Really? It's not like her daughter is a child, or can't find another man on her own. She is still pretty and young after all. She just needs to fix her annoying personality and how she deals with different situations, but apart from that she isn't that lacking. Her mother is being truly rude and controlling by doing that.
Can't believe ML's ex gf kept a picture of them like that though lmao the husband deserve it though. She is even bold enough to call him after she got married to the guy she cheated on him with. I really wanted him to ignore her calls.

He also smirked a lot in Nevertheless which I guess made sense there. I also think that he smirks a bit too much but I'm still cool with it lmao

Oh, I didn't notice the taxi scene you mentioned. My bad there. Yeah, I think the way they handle the whole plot is quite messy. I don't like how it's going so far and it just keeps emphasizing the FL's awful traits instead of making her likeable. What irks me more is how they make the ML character who is younger, less experienced, new in work place, and who also got cheated on almost perfect. He knows what to do and how to act quite logically all the time every where, yet they made the FL like that...she is a breathing mess/literal joke at this point. I'm baffled at the fact that she gets away with her stupidity as if nothing is happening when others get scolded left and right. If my boss was like that, even if she had same personal issues I would still not be able to trust her abilities nor respect her after seeing all the dumb mistakes and bad behavior she done.

Well, what you said also make sense in a way. But then that doesn't make the plot good anyways. Yes, her life became a mess due to the whole break up/cheating/one night stand crap but still the fact that she manage to make mistakes in work, yet never really pay the price for it and even hear words like "it's okay" when she acts that way is quite retarded. Just cause her love life failed, it doesn't mean that she has to make every mistake you could think of as a result. What if she made a work related decision bad enough that it lead to serious accidents and people dying? Would it also be forgiven due to her personal life issues? If a doctor kill a patient due to negligence cause they were going through a break up/divorce would that mean they don't deserve to be punished for it? If everyone make such mistakes just cause some bad things happened in their lives then that's just would lead to the world ending. I mean yeah, it's a drama/fiction but that doesn't mean it should be this bad written. Also both of her and her rude ex deserve to get scolded severely for creating drama in work place. They aren't in a freaking bar nor the street to yell and act like that.
Also they should be honest in the synopsis/tags so that people who will come expecting a badass FL won't end up wasting hours of their lives to realize it's the total opposite.

You said it yourself, a director! Not an intern. She acts like a damn child literally, I'm sorry but her being the youngest director isn't an excuse. Having a brain and using it to act logical and smart doesn't require you to be in your 40's or 50's. If she was considered good enough to become a director then she should act like it. You have the ML who is in a lower position, younger, and less experienced and yet he still act million times more mature, smart, and quick so she clearly has no excuse again. Many times she acts in a way that makes me even wonder if she knows anything about her job to begin with.
Yes, you can make one or two mistakes every now and then, but not 10+ everyday. About her ex, I don't care what happens between them as long as she keeps that out of work place. I hate how she behave in work place bringing her personal issues there which isn't professional nor right. I guess same goes for her rude ex as well. The fact that she let him yell at her and stood there for a period long enough to allow the ML to come and talk back to him was pathetic, I insist.

Well, you do have a point but I'm not sure my patience will hold up till that happen. Especially if they drag this nonsense for more than 2 or 3 other episodes. Also the mistakes she make are literally intern level, even interns might not be that bad and she was viewed as good enough to become a director, make important decisions, and lead others. Even others who are in lower positions aren't that bad. I can't get over that.

Well, according to what I remember they never really explained what The Ultimate really referred to in any of the drama parts. The Ultimate is basically what is hidden behind the bronze gate which is supposed to be some sort of of amazing secrete. Probably a way to reach absolute immortality since they kept mentioning many ancient royal figures who were willing to do all sort of creepy stuff to become immortal and gain super powers by turning themselves into monsters. They showed that much, but when it came to the ultimate meaning, they always kept it vague.
The Zhang family had to protect the secrete (AKA The Ultimate) for hundreds of years because of how important it is. I don't even think novels readers know for sure what exactly is hidden behind the gate. If it's really immortality then I guess the reason they want to protect and hide it that much, is due to their fear that it might fall into the hands of someone super evil and so it might lead to chaos in the world. Especially if it makes said person 100% undefeatable.

I also agree about the bullying part. I remember back in my high school, a guy beat the crap out of another guy's younger brother and when the parents came to school because of it, the bully's parents were rude as hell and even attempted to insult and fight with the victim's parents while the teachers just watched. The bully didn't even get a punishment, just some "scolding". The older brother of the bullying victim ended up getting in a fight with the bully later outside school along with his friends and it lead to people going to hospital and then he was forced to transfer school. All cause he couldn't handle the bully guy constant harassment to his younger brother and the fact that the school did nothing about it. In the end he was the one who was viewed as the bad one instead of the actual bully ironically.

Ep 3:
Why do they keep making the FL a big fool? I keep losing respect for her every passing episode. Like not only that she made many huge mistakes and behaved in quite the unprofessional way during the first two episodes, but now they also make her go late to her work, as usual unable to focus or make a quick decision. She acts like a dumb child, even her manners aren't fitting for a person her age with such a high position in their organization. After all that and they aren't demoting her already?! She always get away with every shit she does wrong.
Also ML keeps being there for her rescue all the time, she is now a total damsel in distress type instead of the "Highly intelligent and organized" bullshit they said on the synopsis. ML is supposed to be the naïve, clumsy one but he is a total opposite of that. The FL is the clumsy, stupid one. Even her co-workers don't view her seriously. I'm sorry but I'm on the verge of dropping the drama because of her. If they were clear and said the FL is supposed to be the messy, chaotic, and air head character then I will let it pass, but the fact that she is supposed to be smart or whatever, yet doesn't behave that way gets on my nerves. She isn't a damn rookie for fucks sake, how come the younger, newbie ML is 10000000 more professional, hard working, and talented than her?!
She acts foolish then pretend to be professional, cold, and stuck up to hide her embarrassment. This plot doesn't make any sense at all. He even helps her with daily life things like selling her stuff.
The fact that her ex still humiliate her in front of others in work place to a point where ML had to interfere and stand up for her before she could grown a backbone and reply shows how pathetic she really is. Also that bus scene, couldn't she take a taxi instead? She is clearly financially able enough for it.
Her having sexual relationship/one night stand like that with a fellow co-worker, one that is even in lower position than her is quite the stupid thing to do. It could lead to many issues and humiliation later to her in future. To her luck, Shi Woo is a really good guy who clearly won't use that for his advantage but still...I don't even get why he likes her to begin with.
The ML is the only reason I keep watching at this point. Glad his ex gf is now realizing that she might've lost a great bf after seeing how her husband is treating her.

I agree! I fell in love with Kdramas because they were different than Western shallow and gross ones. But now they are using the same style...I mean I'm not against sexual content as long as it's done right. This drama ain't doing it right for me.

So smart/genius people can't be cheated on?! Lmao IQ level has nothing to do with that. The tags indeed don't make sense.

Yes, it gets way way better. It's worth the watch!

I agree with everything! Also FL character was super annoying and I hated the romance.

Exactly!

I totally agree with everything you said. The drama tried so hard to be deep and complicated, but it ended up giving me a headache instead of making me invested.

Same, I couldn't like her at all.
