The Jin U and Min Jeong dynamic is honestly adorable. They are so cute together, even when they are bickering. I actually hope they get together even more than I care about the leads getting together lol

Ayla's dad was also cool with them dating until he found out that Tawan is his rivals/traitors daughter. He overall seems pretty chill about everything other than that, but we will have to see next week. I can't write him off yet though, since we don't know what happened between him and Tawan's dad. I do think though that he should have taken into account that she changed her surname and doesn't even speak to the asshole though, so they are really on the same side when it comes to him.

That's one thing I will never get no matter how many Asian shows I watch. Culturally, it seems all the countries are big on generational guilt, and I hate that. Nobody should be judged on what their parents or grandparents did, they should be judged strictly as themselves imho.

Yeah, none of the ones I mentioned were really in the lakorns a lot, but I think they still fit

- Ongsa's dad was actually disappointed that she thought he would have a problem with her loving a girl (23.5)
- Sun's dad (and mom really) were like the gold standard for parents of a teenager (23.5)
- Wan's dad died before they got together, but flashbacks showed that he knew about her previous wlw relationship and was fine with it (WS)
- Maewnam's stepdad seemed to legitimately be willing to change his huge corporations business plans strictly off her ask, but it was too late to do so (WS)

None of them were really present in the shows, because they were already so chill about everything and didn't add any drama to the show

Only You spoiler in tagged comment since it's ongoing

The Wan one is iffy, since he's not around for anything in the show really, but all the flashbacks kind of prove he would have been.

And yeah, Khems dad was awesome lol

For sure, but as an example Friendly Rivalry isn't marked as a romance, because it isn't, but I think it's fair to say there was more romance and tension between HyeRi and SuBin in that than there has been between Jin Wook and Chae Yeon (at least so far) in this.

It could absolutely end up having them be together, but it doesn't merit the romance tag and that tag is extremely misleading for people that want to see them as a couple.

MilkLove has always had good dads. Ongsa and Wan's dad (Milk) were both completely cool with everything and flat out loving, Sun and Maewnam's (step)dad (Love) were completely in their daughters corner.

I get the point you're making, and I agree. But those are examples of good dads in GL lol

I came into this show not expecting romance since it wasn't even a subtag, let alone an actual genre of the show. IMO, it can go either way at this point, there's enough there to where it can turn into a romance, be a 1 sided crush, or be a straight up mentor/mentee relationship.

I'm sticking around because the cases are actually interesting, and the leads are doing a good job making the legal world seem interesting and occasionally finding niche ways to win their cases.

It actually really annoys me that MDL makes it almost impossible to alter anything on a dramas page, yet they gleefully added a romance tag to this without any actual proof. I've yet to see ANYTHING other than MDL mark romance on this show. The only plausible thing to me is someone that has mod rights is a shipper of the leads and unilaterally decided to add it, even though there's no other source saying it

I absolutely agree that Mae's dad is trash, and I can see your point.

My thoughts though are even though Ai's dad is also physically violent, he also plays the emotional abuse game with her. They both suck completely, but if I were to be forced to pick one, I would pick the singular type of abuse over both

There's still the fact that they can use it as ammunition though. And I just find it funny because the person I'm talking about was trying to argue that there's no ethical concerns at all and nobody would care if the leads date, yet this episode kind of pointedly proves that entire thought process wrong.

My comment was more "haha even the scriptwriters agree with what I was saying yesterday" more than anything else

Will do, appreciate the heads up on what to pay more attention to

I'm not even that far yet lol, I wrote this comment when they were planning it in the first 10ish minutes of the ep

That's absolutely fair, but having their first on screen scene together being in ep 9 in a 10 ep show, and antagonistic towards each other makes me 100% not want them to be a thing in this show.

If they ran into each other at the store in ep 2? 3? whenever Manmook came into the area and there was a progression in Manmooks behavior from that point on, I would absolutely ship them together.

As far as JingJing and Piploy, I would love to see them together in something. Visually they mesh extremely well. I haven't seen any fancams or anything of them, so I don't know what their dynamic is like outside of this show honestly. If you have some, please DM or link them here to me.

It's possible, but imo Noey is too good of a catch to have to spend effort "fixing" her partner. She deserves someone who's worthy of her at the start. She doesn't need a project that needs finished before she feels appreciated

*DISCLAIMER* I truthfully don't care if they get together in the show. I actually think the leads look cute together both personality and looks wise.

Still watching ep 7, but I find it hilarious how literally not even a day after having a conversation on this comment board about the ethical concerns of the leads dating, the next episode comes out and flat out says that they as a company has rules against relationships like that, and it's actually being used (falsely of course, and not with FL, but another associate) by the antagonists to attack the ML. The associate in question isn't even in the MLs department, so that just goes to show how big of an issue the leads dating can actually be.

Both of their dads are pure trash, but I think personally I'd prefer Mae's dad? Like, he's still a manipulative asshole that plays emotional blackmail, but there's at least a chance that he actually loves Mae at least a little bit, and at least treats her well other than the emotional manipulation. And yes, I'm still wholly against what he's doing to her and think it's absolutely disgusting. I'm not excusing him in the least.

But Ai's dad blatantly doesn't gaf about her at all. He's both emotionally and physically abusive to her in private, and also stalks her. (Mae's dad could be having someone follow her, but we haven't seen anything like that yet.) His only goal and care is his legacy and his business, and he doesn't give a shit about Ai in the slightest other than making sure she doesn't do anything that makes him look bad.

They both suck tremendously, but imo Ai's dad is way worse. He's a pure evil asshole rich father while Mae's dad is just an asshole rich father imo

I'm watching because of YoonA and Han Na, and the first ep was alright, but also kind of meh to me. I'm going to give it at least a few more episodes, but this isn't living up to the expectation I had from what I've seen and read about it so far

They (the actresses) are cute together, and I would love to see them have a relationship in a show, however not in this one. Noey is too pure and Manmook is just a trifling b. Their characters don't fit together in this show. Noey deserves a queen

IMO, even the "breakup" was understandable. Wan has personal trauma and it transferred into their relationship. She then was quickly remorseful and Maewnam's whole "I forgive you, but you have to work for it" thing was cute and deserved as well.

It really even probably actually helped Wan's trauma, now that I think about it. She's always been the receiver of help, and Maewnam making Wan help her at least partly fixed the "imbalance" that Wan feels. I can't believe I didn't think of that until I started writing this comment lol. Maewnam's "punishment" for Wan was actually still the greenest flag girlfriend helping Wan more than Wan actually helping her really

Yeah it's an extremely naive take. Like, say they are able to completely separate their personal and professional lives and fly completely under the radar in the office so nobody misconstrues anything as favoritism. (Extremely unplausible) That's the only way there wouldn't be any issues with it.

But, what happens if they have a massive falling out to where they literally can't even stand looking at each other? Then everything is now out in the open, her career is tanked since they'll keep the senior guy first, he'll probably get some form of punishment for the issues it causes and the company is going to have to navigate liability issues they may have from the fallout. There's been countless cases like that IRL, some companies have even gotten sued by whoever gets let go/demoted/moved etc.

I haven't once brought up her age, and I personally dgaf about the age gap, why do you keep bringing it up to me? They could be the exact same age and it doesn't change the fact that he's 100% her boss. There isn't wiggle room in that. She's a brand new employee and he's a senior partner. He is her boss' boss. Much higher up the food chain than she is. It's not like they are on equal footing at the law firm, it's a blatant boss/employee dynamic.

I also don't care one way or the other if they have a romance or not in the show, and my original comment to you was just answering your question, I never said I was against it. If they do have a romance, I think they do need to address the power dynamic issues though. Upper management and lowest level employee is a big gap
