The Frustration of Love Interest


I like where the series is going, it was frustrated to watch at first couple of episodes
but it started to get better after ep7, below is a summary after watching ep8.

FL is frustrates me but I cannot stop watching!
After watching up to 12 episodes the one character that frustrates me the most
is the FL Soo Young, she answers questions with a question if it has anything to
do with who she likes or who she is interested in. The conflict and frustration of
this is she want to date the ML but she doubt herself as she feels she is not good
enough for him as she did not go to a Universaty. After the 2FL joined the bank and
formed a relationship with ML, it was clear that FL had love interest in ML but she instead
took a turn and started dating the 2nd ML who is a security guard which has his own financial
and career goals problems. This has created more tension between the M & F leads
Once you pass the first couple of episodes, the story will start to unfold with her but she
keep us on our toes after each episode.

Turning Point for M & F Leads!
I loved the fish market scene in ep8 with Sang Hoo trying to sell fish
and this was my favorite scene so far and also the turning point of the drama with the scene
where Soo Young found out Sang Hoo helped reporting on the Bank Manager's behaviour
against her. When she offered to help sell the fish, I was like finally something good might
happen between them now as they are attracted to each other.

Who is Mi Kyung?
One thing is clear now is that Mi Kyung is trying way too hard and her intentions
are not genuine with Soo Young and she knows Sang Hoo likes Soo Yang.
She prepaired her plans to work at the Bank to get her College crush to want her
but this seems very forced. She pretended she could not skate but her mommy dearest
spilled that she was an amature figure skater lol. What an ambitious liar!
I will get back to this twat of a character....
2nd Female Lead is Doing Too Damn Much!
Mi Kyung's true colors are finally showing with forcing herslf with this new relationship,
she kissed him first, she calls him first, she showed up at his place uninvited and so many other events she been doing ongoingly to getting Sang Hoo to like her.
Soo Young is only playing along with Mi Kyung but she knows she is not a geniune friend.
Mi Kyung bought the painting Soo Young liked and placed it in her bathroom,
such a savage move knowing that Soo Young would see it as she is coming to her house
for that fake birthday surprise with the mats. That is when FL realised the 2nd FL is
being fake and what kind of a gift is that to give someone for their birthday?

2nd ML Will Bounce Back But .....
This story emphasis on social ranking and sadly the 2nd ML is the lowest rank in the work
place, he is dating the popular teller but felt short after paying for his father's surgery and
failing his test. The thing I admired was FL gave him back some hope, the living situation
is not the best but might be the only option to help him get back on his feet to prepare to
take the test again. It's crystal clear there is no chemistry between them but her intentions
are geniune to help him get in the police academy. I think 2nd ML might find love at the Police Academy once he passes his test.

What Drew Me In!!!
The ending is giving hints of something going to happen between M & F lead but what
if those hints were a trick as we did not see them in the same shot?
I want something good to happen and I'm really liking where this is going finally!


After watching Ep8 I gave it a 8.5/10 as I saw where the story is getting smoother and no more frustrated scenes.
I will update my review along the way.
