im not going to change my mind.
HT is a strong personality who goes after what he wants and doens't allow ppl to get in his way.

it's not about mixing business with personal.

on a business level he did call zd out when she interfered with jx's company. i'd have liked for him to be firmer than just a lukewarm warning after the fact, but okay. let's excuse that by saying her drew the line and doesn't want to burn the bridge.

as for personal, that's separate but also something he needs to handle bc he wants to pursue a personal relationship with jx.
jx hates zd. and zd is constantly at his heels, bringing up their past, implying to an outsider that there's something between them. he should call her out on it, or, at the very least, change the tone of their relationship so that it's perfectly clear that there is nothing romantic between them.

i see ht as no one's fool.
the only fight i see him avoiding, the only pitfall i see him running toward without mitigating, is zd.

i hear the reasons and explanations you've provided for his actions.
but i dont find them sufficient. and they don't change my opinion of him-- that someone of his nature and with his power could and should do more.

good to know :)

1-the business stunt against jx's company.
2-the way zd bought up how she pushed jx out of thier old company when she found jx and ht at that restaurant.

two times when i would have liked ht to shut her down more firmly. to me his reponses show that he's going easy on her. it's surprising to me, given his firm personality.

Trusted aid who screwed up a business deal for JX's company which HT is invested in by pulling in a third party she has a personal connection with?
She lost the right to use that title. He should constantly bring that up instead of letting her pretend it never happened.

HT strikes me as a smart man.
If the woman he is (wants to) pursue dislikes another woman, and that other woman is constantly finding opportunity to hang out around him, show up at his home with late-night snacks, constantly alluding to a past relationship, and evoking an ambiguous atmoshere to their relationship, implying an intimacy that isn't there, then he'd do well to put a stop to it.

On a business end, she did make issues for JX's company which JX managed to solve by inches. ZD has been quiet on that front since HT warned her, but hasn't given up on the personal aspect.

IDK, any way you cut it, I see HT as someone who doesn't instigate a fight but wouldn't avoid one that's at his door. ZD is at his door.

he goes toe-to-toe with his cousin but not zd.
he's not afraid of challenging his cousin when she gets in his way, but backs off from zd.
as for his granda? i haven't seen him be firm with granda yet but he could stand to be so, while maintaining respect.

HT is rutheless in business. Won't stand for competitors or pseudo-allies pushing him around. But that's exactly what he's letting ZD do.

Offense is feeling. Trouble is an obstacle.
ZD offended. But that's not the issue. Her being an active obstruction to JX's company and to HT's anticipated romantic relationship with her.

4 steps ahead means cutting out and shutting down obstacles.
ZD is an obstacle personally and professionaly.
He should be taking care of it.

that's the crux of my argument- that he actually does have the power to control ZD but isn't exerting it.

thank you so much!!!!

Intimate scenes in asian shows hit different.
For me, most western shows come off as cheap.
Asian shows are tasteful and hot as hell.
The preview made me scream....!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!
I don't have spotify :((

JX should toghen up for sure.
But dealing with hardships only applies to variables outside of one's control.
ZD is a variable that HT can control.

The way I see it, ZD did something to screw up JX's business--also a business HT invested in.
Plus, he's interested in having a personal relationship with JX all the while knowing that JX hates ZD, that ZD hurt JX, and that ZD is crazy for him.
Put it all together, as a man with determination to go after what he wants and the power to achieve it, I don't see why he's indulging ZD so much. From a business and professional standpoint he can, and should, draw the lines and damn well make sure that ZD sticks to them. Otherwise, he's risking the woman he wants as well as her company (his money).
He can make it so she doesn't tell his grandpa anything. In front of grandpa they can still be cordial. And besides, no reason why she should be hanging around grandpa anyway. Once the relationship between HT and ZD is put in its proper place, visits with grandpa will decrease.

yes!

lol
i love how we like the same show but different aspects of it :)

One complaint I have about HT is how he's handling ZD.
Man knows she's trouble. Man knows she's obsessed with him.
He could do so much to shut her down but doesn't. Beyond one warning, which she disregards to his face, he's letting her run around and stir up cr@p. That's just going to get worse and he should know that too.
I expect better from him. Both as someone who likes JX, wants to be with her, wants to protect her, and as a powerful business leader who doesn't (or shouldn't) allow anyone to run after him and annoy him this way.

Does anyone know the name of the song they played while HT and JX were playing basketball?
Or have a link?
English, chorus starts with "hold my hand across the land and sea".
