This pilot episodes of this show had raised expectations ti the viewers by a lot. However, somewhere after the first four episodes, it started becoming draggy. Episodes 1-4 were the best and episodes 5-9, although not as excellent as the first four episodes are still great. This makes it the latter half of the show pale in comparison.

The business aspect in the first episodes were still emphasized although the romance is there. In the latter half of the show, don't expect this to be the case. The business aspect was sacrificed for the love triangle and business decisions always were affected by the romance.

The major problem is that this show sidelined the business aspect of the show and focused on the love triangle. The poor execution if the love triangle is the reason why a lot feel very frustrated. Dal Mi's confusion was only told by words and not actions. There was no chance given for the SML at all given the connection they had since they were young. The plot regarding their connection was even sidelined for four episodes after revealing the lie for the sake of establishing ML and FL convenience. Even cliche tropes from pre-2010 KDramas were used just to establish their relationship.

What baffles me the most is how too much optimism beats being realistic. In business, too much optimism leads to failure but of course, it magically works in this drama lol.

This show has so much done injustice to the SML. He eas purely used as a catalyst for the ML and FL romance to the point that even his backstory was used to the advantage of the ML. You cannot blame the viewers why they're very frustrated with this show. This show has had its glorious moments in writing which went downhill by a landslide when they started focusing on the love "triangle" which wasn't a triangle at all given how much plot armor was given to the ML.
