Yet another Alpha CEO, but this time all the characters are terrible

I don't think anyone asked for another alpha CEO drama. Let alone one where all the characters are as morally and ethically suspect as the alpha CEO . . but this is what we have here.

All three people in this love triangle have emotionally cheating affairs with each other, try to have their cake and eat it too, lie, misrepresent and just generally act in infuriating ways every single episode.

What's worse, the message to women seems to be:
1) If you are ambitions and strong willed, you need a strong man who can 'handle' you and put you in your place.
2) It is foolish to think you can succeed in your career without men, and men who are not related to you or in a relationship with you will treat you badly, the best way to handle this is to get married and partner in work/business together. Our main female lead has been floundering for years, and it's because she just hasn't had the right male backing.

The one relationship lesson I agree with is that you truly don't know another person unless you allow conflict to occur. Avoiding conflict and always giving in delays finding out if a couple is truly compatible together. This lesson was not enough to keep me watching this show.
