The good, the bad and the ugly. Or the other way around?

This show is a good study. The story is reminiscent of "Secretary Kim": aloof arrogant, vain boss, capable employees treated below value.
The Kim show was funny, all actors had merits and demerits. Especially the ML is also appreciated with his qualities, not only with his shortcomings.
In SuYu, on the other hand, we have a ML who is just stupid and ignorant. Other players are also not very flexible. The heroine is only good and is 10 years only victim of the ML.

Is this SuYu show funny? In the viki "running comments", a commentator thanks the filmmakers for making the show funny. That's when the ML has just been caught.
He is humiliated as a prisoner, after taking an "obedience pill", until the rind cracks. He has to wear pink women's clothes, annoying gay references pop up throughout the show anyway. Then cleaning latrines, the FL "lady", carrying her around on his back, while his former servants look on with grins. All enjoy his humiliation. Occasionally, the Mary Sue-FL strolls around with the love rival in front of Mus's nose.

Whereas ML used to treat his folks and his FL as an arrogant, egotistical narcissist but was never nasty. The revenge on him consists of barely tolerable, sadistic, discriminatory and inhumane humiliations. LoL, RoFL.

Enough grumbling, dear folks, it's just my opinion. Ignore this criticism and be entertained. That goes reasonably well in parts with this, oh uh oink, film work, especially since, after Blitz-victory over the villain, a short happy ending beckons. And bye!
