That's an exaggeration, though her character does only eat a single kimbap as a meal everyday.

It smells like a doomed relationship that was sweet at first but eventually became the toxic one it is now.

I thought the claw machine scene was thoughtfully done and perfectly depicted Inah's point of view on their relationship. And she was very reasonable, apart from the risk that comes with it, there's simply a very low success rate for such workplace relationships. And then we see very soon later that it actually comes from personal experience of dating a superior -- the consequences of which she has suffered till today.

I feel like that's actually what she wants. I have a hunch that she's wanted out since the start of this drama. Ofc I might be very wrong.

Lmao, not the taxi driver enjoying the free tea!

I think the relationship was very well done so far -- he manages to see part of who she is under her exterior, and for her it's probably the first time someone looked at her in a non-judgmental way and respected her choices.

I think a major part of this drama is going to touch on the leads separating their professional and private lives. You can see in ep 4 that their dynamics at work will start to become slightly awkward especially since she needs to maintain the same professional front.

Okay damn, I did NOT expect the plot to move that fast!

Yeah, it actually got a hot post on theqoo with over 600 mostly negative comments... And skimming through them, I found some of the comments there contradictory. In fact, most of the negativity stems from the viewers' own prejudices imo.

This is worth a whole separate discussion in itself though.

God, it must have been years since I was so startled by a scene in a kdrama lmao

Hmm, I'm not feeling it yet but will give it a few more episodes. It feels like a run off the mill thriller to me so far.

Interesting, other than her demoting the ML without explaining why (she clearly has a hidden reason), I thought she was actually fine and a competent boss. Her scoldings were actually valid.

To me it seems like the FL and 2ML were exes or had some troubled history, and she assigned ML the position to dig up his dirt (a possible affair with 2FL?) I might be very wrong though.

That's what I thought when I saw the actress for the first time lol

We do know they've known each other for a long time from the actors' promotions, and probably had some complicated relationship.

ML was right to protest his demotion but once he said he was the only one fit for his current job, yeah he was being overconfident. Dude, no one is indispensible to their company lol.

Unfortunately I'm not sold on this show.

Yeah, it was fine at first but I didn't expect it to be such a big part of the plot.

Loving the comedy in this so far!

Hmm, frankly I have mixed feelings towards the emotion watch being used as a major plot device and as AI being the "source of truth" for the characters' feelings, but I do see why the writer included it.

Complex and mature roles do exist in many rom-coms, and likewise some rom-coms do tackle mature and realistic themes. Rom-com is really just a tag that coexists with many different sub-genres of dramas like workplace comedy here, slice of life, fantasy, historical etc. SHS's filmography mainly consists of complex or unconventional characters even in her rom-coms.
