What really surprised me was her being into him. Come on, girl! The guy
reads books -yes, that’s hot- but he’s a human red flag!
But my guess is that there is a lot of growing involved, so she needs to touch bottom before she starts evolving
She made me so mad tbh. I thought she was going to kimchi-slap him or something but then her hormones took over. This is the 3rd episode you maybe you’re right and she’ll grow out of this madness.
Side note: I want to live in his library preferably without him in it.
“She’ll grow out of it” but that’s the thing she’s 40 so she has had all the exposure and she’s been in a similar situation and if that doesn’t stop her from jumping into this then I don’t think anything can. She should have had all the growth (regarding cheating and not daiting someone who is clearly two timing) by now. There are really no excuses.
I also think there’s a lot more (about almost every character!!) to learn.
I could understand saying: ok, I’m in. Once you’ve had that talk to your girlfriend (just as her unnie was telling her in her head), but she didn’t.
Having said that, she’s free to do whatever she wants. The only one who’s doing something wrong is him.
And it’s so, so, so wrong.
@eazal, clear as water: she’s free to be with whoever she chooses! He is the cowardly cheating piece of trash. “Drifting apart”, oh please!
What I mean by her touching bottom is that having a fling with your two-timing boss is clearly a lame move, one way or another.
And, yes, I agree that we’re still missing key information here, so my judgement may change 😋
I don’t agree with this part. If she didn’t know he had a girlfriend I’d give her a pass. The reason she broke up with her boyfriend all those years ago was because he was two-timing her. It hurt her and now she’s doing it to someone else. That guy is trash because he did not break up with his girlfriend(unless I missed it?) and is now sleeping with younger Sister but she’s no victim either.
Disclaimer, this is a totally personal opinion, not going to argue with anybody who feels differently:
what she’s doing is wrong, because she knows her actions affect the girlfriend (whom she hasn’t met) – and definitely it’s shocking that she does that after having been through what she did with her ex. But strictly speaking, HE is the cheater here.
Sorry if I sound callous, but I grew up in a culture where it women were systematicaly judged more harshly than men. If a married guy cheated, people would hate the mistress and let the guy off the hook. It took women a lot of work to earn sexual autonomy, and I can’t feel judgy towards this character. Little Noona is being reckless – she’s not looking after other people nor her own heart. If she was my friend or my sister, I’d definitely give her a hearfull. But what she’s doing is definitely less trashy than what Boss is doing. To my eyes, they are not the same.
Totally agree with you.
Also, personal opinion.
The cheater and the one who’s doing right is always the person who has a commitment with other person. If someone is free, he or she shouldn’t carry the burden to “think about the other one”, that’s not his/her responsibility.
As you said, I hate it when the single one (generally the woman) is more criticized as doing something wrong than the man who has a couple and who wouldn’t be cheating.
But again, that’s a personal conviction and no one has to agree with it.
@eazal I guess I feel differently about this. I judge both of them equally unless the party being cheated with didn’t know the person they were dating was in a relationship. The person in the relationship is definitely the cheater but the one who sleeps with them knowing this is in the same boat imo. I don’t agree with the mistress/the other party being vilified while the cheater gets off scot-free but to me, they both deserve the side-eye.
Yeah he is really trash for what he is doing. But I think he did caught her in a vulnerable moment that made her turn down her walls… Even though all the red flags are blinking at her he did made a big impression on her for what he did that night with her ex and all the sweet words. Remind me of a friend of mine that despite everyone warned her off this guy she still stayed with him before she got really burned… I guess she need to experience it herself for her to really walk away… But an article I read before the drama started stated that we gonna se a friends to lover romance between her and CH, so I guess we gonna witness her growth true this drama dealing with this beside her family trouble. 🙂

Sir, if this is the best you can do after “much thinking and consideration”, then just don’t think at all. You’re clearly bad at it.

Oh no! I was going to watch this for Shin Dong-wook! Is he playing a good for nothing annoying second lead?

I’ve officially put in on hold. If something changes in the drama then I’ll pick it up when it finishes airing.
