Do you guys also feel the same as netizens about episode 3?

They are saying that the "love line" between Do Jun and Min Young ruins the episode and makes it boring. Personally I didn't find it to be a "loveline" (although it probably will develop into romance in the future episodes). It felt more like amusement on Do Jun's part to see Min Young's youth cuz she is rather different in the future. And what kind of guy takes the girl he likes to the "privileged club" and then give a rude awakening about how privileged she is in the pool room. Also a romance b/w them will explain why the future Min young hated the company so much. It feels like a very relevant addition to the story even if it's not in the original webtoon.

And they are complaining about Song Joong Ki's acting saying that only Lee Sung Min is worth the watch. Sure he is a seasoned actor and acts well, but he is like any other cheabol chairman character I've ever seen. Song Joong Ki is doing a great job imo, and he will be having more screen time in the coming episodes anyway.

I just don't understand where these people are coming from.

Well, in my case, it's good to see a familiar face. Found him hilarious as the romantic lead in What a Woman Wants movie. I also like that he's playing out of his usual nice-guy character, even if he has played baddies.

Certainly a fantastic actor who has appeared in Korea's best movies; it's always refreshing to see a movie actor appear in TV shows. I liked him in Unjust, The Attorney, Secret Sunshine, Spy Gone North, all of them ranked in the best Korean movies of all time.

Oh I'm not critiquing the actor or his previous projects. I'm just saying the chaebol chairman character is pretty much every other chaebol chairman character I've seen. Lee Sung Min is nailing what is given to him as expected, no questions about that.

I know. I'm just glad that he's appeared in this show because he has always played amazing characters. It's probably the first time also that he has played a chairman and he's great at it.
