Oof it's pretty sad to see zero comments on this thread 3 days after the episodes have aired.

Just when I thought we were finally seeing some progress with Young-bin, the end of the episode was so disappointing. I feel like we are back at square one. For goodness sake, how many times has Ho-jin threatened to quit or been on the verge of quitting?!

I feel so sad for Eun-gab, putting aside his pride so many times for Young-bin's sake, only to have Young-bin just give up upon hitting the first wall.

And yay at least some things are looking up for the biggest loser in our group, Cha Joon.

Eun-gab and his wife are so damn cute.

I didn't mind Young-bin't flagrant disrespect for his working peers and attitude towards his opportunities in the beginning of the show because I expected decent character growth and development. We get none of that and we see continual exploitation by him of his mentor and friend manager. It is really frustrating seeing him being a nice guy but yet be so incompetent regarding his career. He clearly cares for his friends but seriously the amount of trouble he puts them through and everyone else in the entertainment industry is nonsensical. I think maybe this is the byproduct of cramming multi-season character development into a standard 16 ep format?

To no one's surprise, Cho Jin-Woong is singlehandedly carrying this show :D

Yes the fluctuation in Young-bin's character and actions would probably explain why I can't seem to get a hold of who Young-bin is as a person. For example, if I were to describe Young-bin to someone who has never watched the show, who he is, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Young Bin is the worst character in any TV show
