Omg yes! I’m on episode 4 and I’m so mad at her mom. It’s so cruel what she’s doing (hiding the letters,…
Right, like not doubting that her mother had the best intentions. Most parents think security comes with finding a partner that has a better background or is financial stable. Even if she didn't approve of Haru after the accident, if she just trusted her daughter and had encouraged her to stay in college Yae's life would have been much better even if Yae stayed alone.
I watched the japanese version first, which I loved especially because it doesn't drag and it kept the story concise in 10 episodes.
this one was doing great up until ep 11, and soomin is a touch more unhinged in this version. from ep 12 it seems like we got an unnecessary added conflict when the main villains were already enough on their own for a solid story telling.
edit: finished it, and definitely it didn't need the crazy fiancee arc. Minhwan and Soomin were enough as villains, and they didn't need Yura as motivation to kill Jiwon (especially Soomin). For that reason, imo the japanese version did a better job at concluding the story. but both are great and enjoyable to watch.
Incurable case of love (2020) is the opposite and it's pretty well received 🙂
I used those examples to show ml rejected fl who keeps on confessing, and still it was well received by viewers.
In this case, she gave a reason why, not just 'I want to focus on my career' and that's it. She's not used of being taken care of, as the eldest child she's the caretaker and the main source of income for her family to survive, which is why her career is a priority for her. While yes it is obvious that she cares for and is attracted to him as well.

I mentioned it as an example where the ml constantly rejected the fl, and it's also set within a workplace setting. Also, if I remember correctly, in Itaewon Class, the fl was the one that confessed first and was rejected by the ml for similar reasons. :)
Most of the time it's a pretty valid reason choosing not to have a relationship to focus on other things, regardless whether it's the fl or ml who say it.
No but most problems aren’t even about the crisis its just dumb stuff that happens that makes no sense
The fabric and safety shoes cases were related, companies closing down abruptly, and deals falling through was a symptom of the market fall, (and Park losing everything because he owned money to loan sharks). So, was trying to secure a deal through a governmental entity for security and facing an issue of lack of manufacturers in land. It's a drama, so obviously things will be embellished one way or another.
Other than that, the financial struggles all the characters are facing are quite realistic, and they're still portrayed with empathy and a touch of wit.
am I the only one liking the pace of the show? yeah they can't catch a break, but the show is literally about a small company on the brink of bankruptcy during an economic crisis. to a certain extent I agree that it didn't need the classic villain plot line, especially since all the characters are well rounded. but one way or another there has to be a classic trope 😅😂
trolls in general really and salty people from other shows, you know how it is lol.
it's a pity coz it's quite well balanced between comical and drama. they really grasped the nostalgia well, with an added factor for those that remember the beginning of the reply series back in the 2010s.
I liked the ending a lot, but rather than knowing how he came to the future I would have preferred a little bit more banter and see him adjust to the future by her side 😅
