Just deserts — lies exposed, but accountability still missing

Episode 23 is deeply frustrating, particularly when it comes to the FL’s father and the woman and daughter he left her mother for. He is clearly surrounded by scheming people and yet remains completely blind to it. At this point, it’s hard not to acknowledge that the reason his business thrived was largely due to his ex-wife — the FL’s mother — which makes everything that followed even more heartbreaking.What truly hurts in this episode is seeing the impact on the ML. We’re given a glimpse into his past — his relationship with his father and grandparents, and the reason he wanted to become a surgeon in the first place. To realise that all of it was taken from him because of a lie, and that the person responsible shows no remorse, is a devastating blow.What remains endlessly irritating is the FL’s father’s selective awareness. While he’s quick to notice the scheming of his partner’s daughter, he completely fails to recognise the manipulation coming from his partner herself. It’s not just frustrating — it’s wilful blindness, and it continues to cause harm to everyone around him.It feels like this selective blindness is setting him up for a harsher reckoning, one where business, family, and long-buried truths finally collide.

this ep was hard to sit through, cause i don't…

this ep was hard to sit through, cause i don't think Phi deserves all the bullying. we also got to see how he became the "mean-girl" he was, at the start of this BL. when he was taken for granted & treated like dirt, cause he was an intern. little wonder he developed walls & didn't let anyone push him around after he gained fame. it's a slippery slope & it's easy to mistake having high standers to being over bearing - depends on where u stand. *******************************************************************Phi as the boss demanded perfection & his subordinate's would have to deliver, though their best efforts weren't appreciated. personally i hope that when he gets promoted, he remembers everyone that didn't him wrong & doesn't give them a 2nd chance. maybe petty of me. but forgetting & forgiving is over rated! ***************************************************************everyone in that place is showing us, that no matter ur role when there is someone in a worse position, the majority will relish in demeaning u more & stepping on u just for the fun of it - the fact they justifying it as "Phi was once mean" is a b.s. copout, that's immature & not professional. *************************************************************************************************yeah Phi need's to be less strict & not bark orders, just cause they his subordinate's, but that doesn't mean he should grovel & kiss ass just cause they work under him. if he is in the wrong, then so r they - so i hope whatever the growth is on his part, it's with a new set of people (the ones that have come together to help him) all the old workers that acted like working with Phi was beneath them, can kick rocks for all i care... *************************************************************************************in this BL so far i have come to love Phi - he's totally the MVP of this show. no matter how Tam justifies breaking Phi's heart i can't seem to like him & this is new for me, cause until now i usually warm up to the character's that had to suffer Krist's character - who was usually very self centered.

Five Stars

I'm really impressed with how tightly scripted and produced this show has been, at least so far through the first 7 episodes. They have avoided any lazy plot contrivances so far and every episode has made real plot progress. No dragging out of things to fill time. The action / fight sequences have been well choreographed and well paced. The cinematography, costumes and sets have been beautiful, resulting in some great visuals. And the acting is first rate - so many well-experienced actors in this cast. The nuances of the plot are being revealed very carefully. We get real information each episode yet the ultimate questions are still carefully buried. Hopefully this level of quality will continue throughout the rest of the series.
