Somehow I'm waiting for us to discover that Se-woong is not as good as he seems and Dae-woong is not the bad guy...
Also, is Dae-woong's noona sister to all of them, including the brother in a coma? Or are they step-siblings? Because Dae-woong seemed to care about his siter and niece and help around the house, while Se-woong seems to ignore them (also, I was under the impression that the noona isn't as well-off as her brothers).

It was jarring for Shin to suggest reporting the food poisoning incident to the police but strangely shot down by the top executives. There was finally some humility in Shin by posting an apology but it was really a trap in order to draw out the blackmailer (or really the corporate terrorist.) This whole story wrapped up too quickly and not very eventful. We have clarity now: Yoon’s mother is VP’s older sister. VP seems to have had his own plan to protect the company (and change it) before eldest brother’s accident. Current Pres wants the company go back to where it was (corrupt) before VP joined the executive ranks. But subcontractor chief Pyeon’s drastic demotion alerts us that the villains have a backstabber in their midst. The episode 5 Batman and Robin cliffhanger may be a red herring since the episode cast Pres in bad light.

Of course episode 6 confirms it is not the Pres, even though the Pres becomes more sus as the the weeks go by. In the US, employment discrimination cases are difficult to prove as business reasons (bad work record) are major defenses. The writer did touch on this as well as Han-Soo’s bias toward his friend. But the idea that someone is stealing the tech program came out of left field as another dramatic gear shift from one issue (poisoning food for revenge) to corporate espionage. Again, why are glorified accountants doing such an investigation when a major company has an advanced security team to handle such allegations?

The show’s villain trail appears to funnel toward the unconscious elder brother coming back to get the smooth corruption back for Se-Woong and Director Bang at the cost of pushing out Dae-Woong. That would a lazy stream to take when Shin thrives in dangerous rapids. The only drastic plot change is that Dae-Woong has negative information on Shin, probably all his criminal actions in past employment audits. He wants to slowly release the damaging information instead of squashing Shin right away. Perhaps, he finds Shin “useful” against his brothers. But another signal is that Shin has finally reached the point of his career as a fixer to bring closure on his father’s death I believe at the hands of JU.

I find funny how each member of the team says what he/she will do after their meeting except the snitch. I wonder what he's doing because he's pretty much against every investigation...

Se-Woong seems to use the audit team to clean the bad guys but for his own gain? Or the compagny? Se-Woong doesn't look like a bad person but someone with a too big ego making him taking very bad decisions.

It is getting clearer to me that both brothers are on opposing sides of the company, one focused on tech dev and the other on construction. And each person fights to see their interests work out. Which is why I am starting to question President Hwang.

Han-soo is not likeable here at all. As you said Lovepark, he's to simplistic to be an auditor. I know there was a call-back to Cha-il's time as an auditor and saying they are similar in that sense. But, Cha-il followed a trail. He followed the paper. Han-soo on the other hand is too emotional and it wears on the cases they handle. Seo-jin on the other hand, is a better auditor than he is.

There's one minor issue I had this week and it is with the sound engineer of this drama or whoever it is that selects the sounds that go on in the background. After the sudden story of Assistant Manager Moon which dropped out of nowhere by the way, the drama maintained this instrumental that ran for far too long that it overstayed its welcome. All of a sudden, Cha-il begins talking about each one's strengths in the office. It was very distracting. I don't know if they wanted to write an inclusive drama for the team, but this one felt forced because I am sure this atmosphere will be over by episode 7 and it'll remain over till the end of the drama. That whole fiasco could have been shown from how tasks were assigned from the beginning instead of outrightly saying you're good at this or that.

My major interests here is Dae-woong and Seo-jin. So far so good, they are building my anticipation for their scenes so well. And, I like Dae-woong too. I am guessing we are looking at an alliance between him and Cha-il some episodes from now.

I love how the the Auditors is more about HR than auditing anything. Where is the paperwork where are the numbers, lol. Now bullying, lol, I love this drama.

What does the VP do except cover up stuff happening in the company?

I'm still liking this show and finding it greatly entertaining, although after 6 episodes I wouldn't defend it as a masterpiece. These last 2 episodes lost a little in humor, but gained by illuminating a bit more the half-brothers president and vice president, one tech oriented and on the surface more concerned with clean business practices but actually most concerned about his own power, the other construction oriented and on the surface corrupt but actually most concerned about the fate of the company. It seems pretty obvious to me that in the end the apparently corrupt vice president will side with our hero auditor team to save the company in an ethical way, but who knows, there could be additional twists. It does make the role of Cha-il a little more complex than that of an accounting superhero seeking revenge. So I have to disagree with the estimable @welh640 about the direction of this show--subtle or no, I don't think the writer has lost control of the material, nor do I think this has become just a character study of Cha-il.

As for the other characters, I do agree with @lovepark that Hansoo as a character is a little simple minded, veering back and forth wildly between concern for his colleagues, devotion to his mentor and then at the end accusing him of selling out. But maybe that's on purpose, since he kind of represents an unthinkingly empathetic guy who doesn't really understand the forces at play. @kurama is also right, the bad guy on the auditor team is there for comic effect and for keeping the other comically corrupt director informed, but beyond that its hard to see what he's doing in way of actual work.

The one character I really like, and I do think is being portrayed rather subtly is Seo-jin, caught between love for her uncle (?) and her sense of business ethics.

In any case, I actually am looking forward to seeing how this show develops further as our heros fight for a just and righteous corporate order!

More than auditing in the accounting sense, it is about it about a team that investigated against corporate corruption of any kind. I find this drama very refreshing.

I like that Se Woong and Dae Woong has more layers that what we were first shown. SW may not be necessarily the hero and DW the antagonist. They have different varying facets to their character and personality that make me wonder what is their end goal. DW is particularly caring with his niece so I do not think he is all bad.
I am interested to know what information about Cha il's past was Director Yoon and DW able to dig up. And how true are these info.
I like Lee Jung Ha but his character grates on my nerves on some scenes. It may be his naivety, optimism or something else. I just want his character to wisen up quicker. I get tired of his energy and optimism. I may just be cynical.
Shin Ha Kyun is amazing as usual but I want to know more about Shin Cha Il's background.

There are people watching this??

Jaeha-ya, why are you here, playing a villain again? Still, it’s nice to see you.

(Can't trust people with glasses! =P JK.)

I liked the cafeteria case this week and how it had a different ending compared to the previous ones.

I've settled in with this show and even though it's not bringing enough humor and it's more like a crime procedural, I'm still enjoying it. Shin Ha Kyun is captivating. I like the portrayal of the brothers and I'm curious about their plans & actions.

After episode 6 I am on team VP Hwang Dae-woong warts and all. (This is the best Jin Goo role in years). On the one hand he projects that Korean male macho that some find off putting but on the other hand he is loyal (sometimes to a fault) to those people and things (like JU Construction) that he cares about. He is smart. That immediate calculation early on that led to the “I apologize!” was brilliant. He thinks he has some kind of goods on Cha-il so lets see how that plays out. Very little actual auditing going on so far but I am enjoying THE AUDITORS.
Goo Han-soo. I also have a soft spot for this kid. I am sure many find him annoying as h*ll. Seo-jin is correct in her assessment that Han-soo is really not auditor material. I think the basis for his personality is that he comes from a loving family. So far we don’t know of any childhood trauma for Han-soo which in itself is kdrama contrarian.

I'm pretty happy watching this every week and have a couple of thoughts about it this week:

1. Both Se-Woong and Dae-Woong are shaping up to be complex shades-of-grey characters in their own right even though Se-Woong seems more upright and Dae-Woong is the gangster-like fixer. The show is showing us more layers within them every week.

Given Se-Woong's bringing in of Cha-il to keep clearing away the systemic internal rot that has been festering for years, his laser focus on the launch of J-BIM to diversify the company, and the expression on his face when there are signs that the eldest brother may be coming out of his coma soon, I have started to wonder if the eldest brother will turn out to be the villain once he wakes up and if we see him take back the reins of the company.

After all, it was pointed out that people within the company have wondered why the eldest brother's former right-hand man (which Se-Woong exiled to a country factory) could rise so high without showing any outstanding qualifications or abilities. He certainly did his job sloppily and with a blind eye to corruption.

2. One thing I've noticed is that Dae-Woong doesn't stop his niece from doing her job nor tries to influence her. She clearly has affection and respect for him but at home with her and her mom, you can tell that he is not abusive because she's not afraid to push back at him quietly.

This is an interesting side of Dae-Woong to me because in the course of my women's human rights work, I have come across far too many violent abusive men who are public Pillars Of The Society but at home they are absolute terrors to the women and children in the family.
