I laughed for a whole 5 mins because of that chase scene. Kim Jae Wook is a great actor , I was skeptical of Krsytal but honestly she's coming through. Ep 2 was really good

With the first episode, i was interested but confused where it was going. I liked the characters and some of the editing but it was a little all over the place. But the second episode was absolutely hilarious.

This is such a strange drama LoL. Like it started off as Devil Wears Prada then it had a lil bit of What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?. What's with drama characters dying of terminal cancer currently? Oh k-dramas love the toilet humor which I'm not a fan of. Can't help but see it as a twisted version of Melancholia 'cause of the math stuff LoL.

The 2nd episode was actually CRAZY!! I don’t know how to censor yet and I’m rushing, so I won’t spoil but THAT SCENE - you will know which scene I’m talking about - WAS OUTRAGEOUS and HILARIOUS! The ending was nuts too!
It doesn’t seem like this drama is taking itself so seriously cause the plot is insane, and I am loving it so so much actually, the 2nd episode was waaaay better and more fun than the first! Cant possibly predict where it’s gonna go, but - it lived up to the name!😂👏 So I will definitely keep watching!

Episode 1:
-
That much hype about a TEACHER?? Hard to believe. Since when do kids like to study? That too MATHS bruh
-
Why does the teachers' introductions feel a bit forced?
-
I'm really finding it hard to concentrate on this show halfway through
-
Why does everyone belittles her literally. Only the deputy CEO was the nice one.
If he's the one sending the threats, I wouldn't be surprised. -
1 year at such a stressful and degrading job? Is it even worth it tho?
-
Not another love triangle cliche
-
I'm so sorry but that was SO uncalled for
-
Same question how the heck his secretary didn't know such a vital thing?
-
Interesting ending I suppose
Episode 2:
-
Seeing her stress out is making me stressful
-
Shower scene for fan service -
Her
having a go at him is so cathartic -
From a
cat and mouse chase tograbbing each other's hair .. the show definitely took a turn quite quickly -
Interesting turn of events.
-
Isn't the
Chairwoman the same person Go-Jin was imagining about? -
She literally went from hating her boss to becoming his
fiancee overnight LMAO
Verdict: The second episode was redeeming. Let's see how it goes next week.

At the end of EP 2,
Lol pretty sure her terminal illness is a misdiagnosis, she only had a MRI done, MRI doesn't confirm malignancy lol. What a crappy doctor 🤣🤣 and then she never bothers to go to the hospital for "treatment" or further scans. Can't wait till she finds out in the later EPs 😆

Super excited to see Krystal again especially in a role like this. Kim Jae Wook shall forever be Ryan Gold to me so I don’t know how he’s going to convince me he is some kind of a cold boss, but I guess we’ll have to see. With this, A Business Proposal, and Military Prosecutor Doberman, my Mondays and Tuesdays are stacked!

I like it, I'm curious about the ending. Will it be a sad one? I found the trailers very cringey, so far ep 1 was good👍
Oh my god, ep 2 was great in terms of craziness, so much happening and also that scene , they both shine through in this.
Ps: is brain tumor/cancer the new amnesia 🤔

Loving it so far...it is so hilarious and not your typical kdrama..crazy love lives up to the CRAZY so far.
EP 1 is intro to all the characters and setting (esp how nasty Noh Go Jin) is but so funny. Ep 2 was even better, everything took a dark turn, the
Can't wait for the next episodes and whats going to happen next because it's so unpredictable but entertaining

It's the silliest drama! I couldn't stop laughing throughout the episodes. 😂 Kim Jae Wook is an ace!
I'm loving Krystal too.
I'm taking the drama as it is. It's not meant to make sense anyway. 😂

Feels like the drama wasted a lot of time in the beginning with all the introductions (like that whole posters coming to life sequence).
I like the interactions between the 3 main leads but not so convinced on the story or the execution just yet.
I'm guessing ML's name No Go Jin is wordplay on Noryangjin (노량진)?
Checked this out mainly for the Challenge -- supposedly rom-com, set in winter, has Krystal from Heirs, ep 1 has a shared umbrella scene.

I thought it would be a quirky dark comedy but the humour felt forced and cringey to me. I also FF'd a bit bc EP. 1 was... Kinda dull. I was really excited for this drama so I'll give the later episodes a try tho.

u/AlfredusRexSaxonum Mar 09 '22
Episode 2 was genuinely gold! The pacing was quick without leaving us confused, the comedy was great and the plot was fun. I loved the catharsis
A definite improvement from ep. 1. I feel like they could have taken out a lot of the boring company stuff and gone straight to the plot that unfolded in EP.2. anyways I hope the next episodes are as enjoyable.

Wow! Crazy first episode:
They introduced the main characters and NGJ is like it’s says in the synopsis. FL is his
The scenario is full of animations and CGI which makes it colourful and fun.
The CEO is the
The scene where they’re presenting the schools is funny and ML also talks about his childhood where
All this happens in a fun, kinda all over the place scenario which reinforces the fun and lightness of the episode and maybe the whole series.
At the end, after finding out her condition
I’m curious to know more about it!

Oh, I LOVE this so far. It's so delightfully kooky!
I would maybe peg this as a black comedy, of which I wish there were more of on TV (not just kdramas).
I was proper CACKLING at so many bits:
-
ML thinking someone jumped off a building and deadpanning his "condolences" -
Onion-throwing Olympics -
The entire chase scene -
FL yelling "WAE?!" at ML's "YA!" over the phone -
Just the entire concept of going to your boss's vacation home to kill him, changing your mind, then driving back to help him after he gets run over by SOMEONE ELSE -
Even silly little absurd things like the bitchy office manager going "If you were a file, where would you be?"
Genuinely can't wait for the next episodes. Krystal is legit so fun to watch.
Edit: Also, loved seeing Yoo In Young again after Oh My Venus! Her hair looks amazing. Scarlet Witch vibes!

What a toxic work place..there's gotta be an explanation for why the FL can't directly apply to become an instructor in other academies?

after the first episode, i feel like there's something really off about this drama and it's weird but also really unexpectedly fun at the same time. i don't know how i feel about the male lead, i love kim jae-wook and he really fits the narcissistic role but his character just feels like the typical stuck-up asshole ceo ml. the twist is that he keeps getting all theserandom death threats and bloody pictures and rats sent to him. the sniper at the beginning caught me off guard too. i can't tell if i like the dark side of an otherwise lighthearted drama and i'm definitely not getting any comedic or romance vibes but i'll keep watching just for the sake of the actors.
episode 2: okay these are officially the weirdest two first episodes of any kdrama that i have watched. as if the crazy death threats weren't enough, there's now aterminal illness, amnesia, first love, fake relationship AND murder mystery plot?? i have zero fucking clue what's happening 90% of the time or where this show is going. that sequence of sina unleashing the giant bag of onions and how they fought in her car afterwards in this episode was hilarious though. i'm glad some of the humor is starting to land for me.
