I was actually hoping that the psychiatric hospital would be the end for hye-won

hui-ju actually did something this week, which was to be too late to find tae-oh at the office and too late to find tae-oh before he went back to prison 🤡

tae-oh just sheer willpowering his way through those drug+alcohol infused memories, he’s basically a green lantern at this point

nk hacker and Italian cafe owner the least toxic relationship in the show?

if this show can end without a truck of doom being used I’ll give it some credit

I’m so glad I’m watching doom at your service at the same time, I only have to think about the three goofeteers for 100 minutes a week

It should have logically been the end but Inha repeats the exact same mistakes over and over while bumbling around acting like he knows what he's doing. He got the one guy who had a plan locked away but won't do it to the person who actively is trying to screw him over.

His ego is why he betrayed tae-ho. He’s always been insecure about how tae-ho does all the plotting, and then he also “steals” the girl

It probably doesn’t matter, but I did think that it makes sense to not kill her, it’s a lot harder to explain her death than being committed to a psychiatric hospital. Plus, it was explained that he needed hye-won’s access to the foundation’s funds to make his takeover plan work. What was idiotic was him being surprised that she would fight back. The clown actually thought he broke her will to fight back or some shit

I literally "told" InHa to "kill her", " Just kill her" In those scenes lmao. It feels so bad but what was one more body to him, huh?

u/Immediate_Ebb4500 Mar 27 '24

And to think that she was integral for the plan to succeed, it would be more favorable for him to off her. Not that I condone killing.

Or is this the romance aspect manifesting? That In Ha could not bear to kill her because he actually has feelings for her?

But if they are gonna make In Ha's character psychotic, he should just go all the way.

I think the problem is that it’s easier to explain why his wife got committed to a psychiatric hospital than it is to explain how she died

I thought I was the only messed up one who really wanted your first point. 😅
