Don't worry, I strongly believe that good boy will remain untarnished. In this same episode, didn't the CEO of SH Investment/Sandbox explain that there is a misunderstanding regarding the suicide that someone from Sandbox is responsible for it, no one from Sandbox was to blame for it, the truth will come out and HJP's name will be cleared.

I have started shipping HJP with ancestor girl from episode 10, now wouldn't that be epic, he should show up with her in the last episode *mic drop*

I completely second this. As someone who has worked in the tech industry for a literal decade, I can testify that there are no NDS here.

I'm curious about this too, he's definitely the same person

yay, thanks for informing :)

ROFL at "born to wear the pants in her relationships", really made my day :D

Same, Iove how they are bringing the story together, we were given few pieces of the puzzle before and slowly we are starting to see the full picture. It is great story telling. All the main characters are such duplicitous documentary makers (lol), that on principle, I should me morally against them, but strangely enough, I'm really invested in the outcome for the main leads and am looking forward to seeing them make it out of the mess they are in. I hope the quality of the story telling remains consistent. Fighting!

This should legit have been the title ^^

Hahaha.... waves madly from the TARDIS :D

It wouldn't be MDL if the comment sections weren't routinely on fire :D .....like Alice was catching all the hate before. There were some serious clashes over Backstreet Rookie not so long ago. Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol comments are also currently a battleground. I'm just out here LOL over it all :P

Deep and meaningful discussions like these restore my faith in MDL comments section. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insights ^^

Hahaha, agreed, most of the haters probably fall into either of two categories. Firstly, Ji Soo superfans who were waiting since forever for him to take a lead role. Secondly, the younger audience more accustomed to fluffy rom-coms, who aren't up for watching this messy story line.
I hear you about Japanese dramas being far darker and edgier. There really isn't even any comparison between J-dramas and K-dramas in terms of dark content. From my observation, Korean TV is relatively conservative and pure. Even when I was watching the Korean remake of One Million Stars Falling from the Sky, I was confident that it would never be as dark and taboo as the original story. I personally prefer this quality of K-dramas to be subtle and modest, having watched Western media for decades, it is a nice change of pace for me.
I do slightly share your frustration about the complainers making this drama seem evil incarnate, but everyone has an equal right to express their opinions here, so to each his/her own, I say.
Hope you find the rest of the drama worth your while :)

Watch a couple of episodes and decide for yourself. I see value in watching this for Ji Soo. If I had listened to every single time MDL majority was annoyed and raising hell in the comment sections, I would have missed out on some great dramas which suited my personal taste (for example "Something in the Rain", which really spoke to me and I really liked, but it got a lot of hate on MDL). Of course there have been times when I was in the annoyed majority too :D .... but one thing I've learnt up until now is not to be swayed by the overwhelming commentary, and to decide for myself after giving things a chance.

Give it a chance and decide for yourself. It isn't the best drama of the year, but it also doesn't deserve the level of hate it is getting here. It is complicated, doesn't have the kind of perfect leads you see in rom-coms, every character is flawed, some even hopelessly flawed, I suppose it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. I watched it weekly, so I didn't feel like it was slow. From reading other's comments, I realized it might seem slow to the binge-watchers.

I think you've seen the 2nd episode already. First episode ended at Cha Joo Eun in Jung Bok Gi's office and Jung Bok Gi asking her if Cha Joo Eun is targeting her to avenge her father. In the 2nd episode, Cha Joo Eun goes to jail, comes out, there are multiple time jumps and the 2nd episode ended on the wedding disaster. Hope this clears your confusion

I second that, the whole process of how the characters plan and talk about cons is so realistic, it was freaking me out the whole time. All that documentary making talk makes it so much more chilling than if they weren't using code words. From watching the 2 episodes, it became obvious that scammers at this level would talk in code, they can't have people overhearing them and have their covers blown. It's all these attention to details that is making it so realistic. Also, the ending of second episode blew my mind. I hope more people will give this drama a chance

The second episode will blow your mind ^^

The Japanese drama is an adaptation of Gone Girl. The Korean version also has strong Gone Girl vibes in 1st episode

I came to the comment section to see if this is a korean adaptation of Gone Girl. I only fastforward saw half of the first episode and the Gone Girl vibe is really strong with this one

I live for the deadpan comedy in this drama
