It just occured to me, that the sunrise kiss is a callback to the scene between In-ah and Jae-Yeol in ep 6. Back then, she was staring at the dark ocean, and Jae-Yeol pointed that out: "I thought you were looking at the ocean, turns out you were just staring at the dark"
And her reply: "A pricey ocean view is useless at night. Where the sea ends and the sky begins... it's all just dark."
This is a representation of their relationship. They both have darkness in their hearts, and while In-ah can suppress it for a while, and seem like she is doing just fine, it's not manageable for her to support her partner who is doing even worse in the long run. Jae-Yeol was not a bad partner per se, but how long can she be his supporter, while he does not stand up for himself? Both in terms of his career, as well as the marriage. She needs someone like Ki-Jun, who, like the sun early in the morning, will come and make her world shine. And at the same time, he makes sure to let her know, that she doesn't have to hide her feelings and troubles anymore. She depended on herself for so long, and now she can lean on Ki-Jun too. And Ki-Jun is perfectly capable of supporting himself, so he will not need her to put him first all the time.
I think the last two episodes were an interesting dive into the flaws of the characters. We see more of the true…
Beautifully said. To me, the final evidence that In-ah and Jae-Yeol are incompatible was when he said that she is the woman who he'd die alongside. Who says things like this? You should want to live with your loved one... In my opinion, he is deeply depressed and rather than finding happiness within himself, searches for it in In-Ah and her support for him. And she used to give him that support, hiding her own unhappiness deep inside. But she is struggling too, and the one who is breaking this cycle is Ki-Jun, who is confident, in touch with his emotions and knows what he wants. And he is teaching her to face her sadness and love herself. He is making her laugh and she is drawn to him.
Some people say that the ML was overly jealous in ep 8. I don't think so - he knows that for In-ah, professionalism is the most important thing. And for the first time she behaves differently - in a case connected to Jae-Yeol. So Ki-Jun confronts her right away, wanting to clear the misunderstanding asap, but she does not defend herself. So I think Ki-Jun's doubts are justified this episode.
I was so pumped up at the friday dinner plans they made together but then the angst came back -,- I just want flirting and happiness from now on! Finally we'll get to see them all over each other~
I'm so annoyed at all the characters except Kijun. No matter the relationship Inna has with Jaeyeol, she's a person…
I think her reasoning is that JY's brother will be worse for the company than JY, so that's why she is covering for JY. I'm sure that if this money laundering hurt somebody directly, like the James case, she would have come forward with it. But she seems to regret it anyway.
yep I can feel we’ll be getting mid cliche episodes from now onthis whole fighting for the girl trope needs…
I fear the same. The love triangle feels unnecesary at this point, robbing us from precious time between our main leads. I am hoping we'll get back on track with the comedy & sexiness just like we started.
Ok so I'm not a fan of a hospital plot, but then I remember that in Perfect Crown the leads were in hospital 2 times EACH so it could have been worse 🤣
So, everything she did in the beginning was to protect her ex? But then what was with the conversation they had…
They have yet to explain the reason for their breakup. He was probably getting married and wanted her to be the mistress, so she must have felt betrayed.
Ki- Jun fell in love with I-na and lost all sense of self-preservation. Why is he openly antagonizing his boss…
Well, Jae-Yeol was overstepping her boundries a bit too much so I think that's why Ki-Jun was so aggressive. But it was way too much on his part, I agree (tho it was a match, and had Jae-Yeol not been a chaebol, it wouldn't be as bad)
I was certain that it will take a lot of time for In-ah to accept her feelings for Ki-Jun, but her throwing away the mascot in the office in ep 10 preview is too much. Is this a noble idiocy sign (her stepping away to protect him from 2ML)? Eh I wish not. I have no idea how they will wrap up the US transfer storyline but it doesn't look too good... also I want to see more Ki-Jun, ep 9 was very Jae-Yeol focused.
Oh this is such an unpopular opinion, but I agree completely. I mean they wanted us to believe that she has a…
No, I don't think you're reading too much into it at all. The clothes definitely lack the scandalous factor, which could be achieved by more intricate designs and clever construction, like you said. And sadly, further episodes showcase it even more. There are scenes where she picks jewelry (which is definitely an ad) and she chooses and praises the most basic necklace ever. Even in "normal" dramas styling is a vital part of storytelling, and here it should be even more important if she has a fashion company, but her fashion choices are telling a whole different story from the script.
