That creepy man who clicked Shuang Jiang’s picture better stay away from her, or he’ll face the full fury of us drama watchers. Let our power couple be lovey-dovey, and stay out of their lives, for god’s sake. She has already suffered enough.
He is being childishly clingy. She has hinted many times that she isn’t interested, but I guess he’ll stop only when she categorically tells him so.
yea he was not believing how SY could be the right choice for her but he's not getting any attention back from…
I see no merit in the introduction of his character. He contributes nothing to the story, and it would be better if he weren’t in the drama. I don’t like characters who exist solely to make the leads jealous. It’s okay if it’s a one-time character, but if they’re recurring, they need to have a bigger role in the story—more than just being a jealousy-inducing device.
What kind of consequences do you think he should face? He never used any illegal means to achieve his goals, so…
I thought he invested in Peoplez as an angel investor rather than through his VC firm. But even if that’s not the case, the decision to merge Peoplez with Career Way was made by the entire board, not him alone. While he likely influenced the decision, that’s entirely reasonable—unless he used coercion or exerted undue pressure on the other directors.
As for the acquisition itself, I wouldn’t call it a scam. Peoplez had already lost its reputation and credibility due to that scandal, which was falsely orchestrated by Career Way’s CEO. In such cases, it’s not unusual for investors to demand a CEO’s resignation, and this was no exception.
Ultimately, he was acting against Ji-Yun out of personal vendetta, but in my humble opinion, he didn’t resort to blatantly illegal means like the Career Way CEO did. It certainly feels unfair, but conflicts like this are common when interests clash—especially between players of different hierarchies.

As I mentioned earlier, I skimmed through that guy’s scenes, so I don’t clearly remember the plot you mentioned, sorry! But if it was as you said, his actions are borderline illegal. In such cases, establishing the cause of action is difficult, as the only direct witness to the entire deal was the accused herself. Moreover, the greater share of blame typically falls on the one who committed the wrongdoing, rather than the one who pressured them into it.
Not gonna lie, but it’s really odd that the state is relying on a headhunting company to find a suitable candidate for such an important position—especially knowing full well that such a company is vulnerable to undue influences, including external forces seeking to destabilise the nation.
She quit without speaking to her partners and left her employees behind to work for someone evil. Yes they quit…
She made a contract with the investor ensuring that if she resigned, her employees wouldn’t be fired and would be offered positions at Career Way. She must have believed that Peoplez was beyond saving and wouldn’t recover after its image was tarnished—even if unfairly—since reputation and credibility are paramount in the headhunting industry.
At first, I felt uneasy seeing her enjoy her time off while her former employees searched for jobs. But I realised she wasn’t responsible for them if they chose to resign. She had done everything she could for them; beyond that, they were on their own. On a lighter note, It was funny to see that her employees were ‘headhunting’ for jobs of their own, haha.

I skimmed through his scenes, so I’m not entirely sure—do correct me if I’m wrong—but he was recommending the CEO of a corporate firm, not a government position. She, however, recommended her preferred candidate, and when her nemesis tried to steal her candidate through unfair means, she threw her off and ultimately secured the win. That man also badmouthed the headhunting profession itself and received a well-deserved retort from Ji-Yun. And yes, he is rich, so he won’t face any serious financial loss, but I believe a judgmental loss can also have a huge impact on someone. He certainly seems like an overly confident man when it comes to his prudence, business acumen, and ability to assess people, so this misjudgment would be a huge blow to his confidence and his perception of his own skills.
As for his reconciliation with his son, Korean society is heavily influenced by Confucian ideals, which place great emphasis on filial piety, known as ‘Hyo’ in South Korea. Because of this, it’s difficult for creators to portray parents facing real consequences for their actions. Instead, they often show redemption arcs that overlook past mistreatment, rudeness, and emotional neglect. I saw the same pattern in Something in the Rain, where the female lead’s mother was extremely toxic yet never faced any repercussions. In the end, the FL still hugged and forgave her, even though she had sabotaged her happiness over something trivial.
And yes, it would have been nice to see a scene where he apologised and made amends with her, but alas, that didn’t happen.
