**The Ordinary Jackpot**
The first two episodes were so good and exciting, mainly because of the expectation that our male lead would completely transform after winning the lottery. I was really hoping we would see a flip in his usual boring personality, and I genuinely enjoyed seeing him scold his team for the first time. It felt like the lottery win was finally going to change him and his life.
But after waiting a whole week, I watched episodes 3 and 4, and honestly, they were disappointing. Nothing significant really happened in those two episodes, and that's when I started realizing that maybe nothing *is* going to happen.
It feels like the drama is actually trying to say: **even if you win the lottery, stay the same, keep working like a machine, and let the rich company continue grinding you for money.** 😂
At this point, it has gone back to feeling like a regular, boring office drama. There is also very little scope for romance, which is another disappointment.
The mystery surrounding the FL, who is only properly introduced around episode 4, also feels like something that is being dragged out for too long. And with only 10 episodes, I don't see how there is enough time left to develop anything meaningful — whether that's the romance, the lottery storyline, or any major change in the characters.
The first two episodes made me expect a completely different kind of drama. After episodes 3 and 4, it just feels like the lottery win was used as a setup, but the story is still determined to remain the same boring office drama.
