Why they insist on giving so much screentime to the side characters and office scenes with no substance at all, I still don't understand. The scenes are drawn-out, with repetitive dialogue and pointless interactions. I've finally decided to watch this series at 1.5x speed. The leads have great chemistry, so they are missing a lot of chances by having them interact so little. They act as if this is going to be a 24-episode-long series, but with only 8, we've barely seen them develop their relationship, and there's only two eps left. We got ONE kiss (which was 4 seconds long) at the last minute of the episode. I'm hoping next episodes they'll be in more scenes together. Also, Lee Jun's 'cuteness' is starting to piss me off. He looks like he has one single brain cell most of the time. The way he reacts to the three different men flirting with him is so calm and kind of frustrating. Like, isn't he supposed to like Choi Jun? Why is he not setting boundaries with the other two?

The bullying pissed me off so much - I get that they start off hating one another, however I wonder how in hell they plan to make the rich guy likeable. He's fatphobic, classist, and violent, so he better get his shit rocked real good in the next episodes if they want me to ship him with MC. I want to see a real character arc, not a full 180 that doesn't feel like the same character.However, I'm pleasantly surprised by this first episode. It has such a different vibe than the series GMMTV usually puts out, which are more cutesy and lighthearted. I like the acting, the chemistry and the fact that MC is fighting back against the bullying. I still think more drastic measures would be in order given the type of guy he's dealing with. A gun would be nice.(just kidding) (not really)

It's still giving 'Dobby the house-elf' but at least we cleared up some of the misunderstandings (even though I don't get how he doesn't remember saying that about the sheets drying? Does he have amnesia or??)

I wish I could give this a 10. Objectively, it could be. However, it hurt so bad that I cannot give it more than what I already have. It was so painful and we almost got no moments between them (apart from the kiss on the cheek, which, looking back on it now, it freaking hurts). The cousin can burn in hell. I hope we get a season two. I'm depressed now - that's all.

This episode was too cute knowing what happens in the end. My anxiety is kind of skyrocketing. I enjoyed their moments together, as always, even though I'm still frustrated that they keep CUTTING AWAY when anything remotely romantic looks like is about to happen. I'm so MAD. The ending of this ep has me so stressed for Su Yu's life honestly.

Without context for their relationship, I'm not really a fan of their initial dynamic. Wtf is up with the contract and slave/owner thing?? I don't know, I might raise the rating if they explain in later episodes. As for now, the weatherman is kind of a jerk and the other one is too meek to be likable. We'll see where it goes from here.

This episode I found a little bit boring, especially because a large part of the runtime was spent on that meeting scene (which I didn't really understand, but anyway). It's funny seeing how Lee Jun keeps adding more and more men to his admirer list lmao, it's going to be interesting to see them compete for his attention.

Wtf does 'It's not like we haven't done it before' mean? Seriously, I'm so confused - THEY DIDN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHINGWe got a hug, which is nice, but I thought there was going to be a kiss in this ep? (maybe they were just rumors?) On the other hand, I really don't care that much about the whole mum's-death subplot. It takes away from the two boys, and yet it was resolved way too quickly. Also, how is Wu Bi's dad suddenly a good person, attentive husband and doting father? He did a 180 within like one day.

This episode was so funny (especially the scenes where Wu Bi is cooking noodles looking absolutely unhinged). I'm afraid the cousin might do something to fuck with Su Yu's dad's store, that was stressing me out. I also don't really like that girl that keeps popping up and taking pictures of them together - I've never liked characters that are meant to represent the audience with the shipping of the main couple. Also, the last scene with Wu Bi bringing food to his mom's grave was emotional and really well-acted.

Su Yu's mom is truly getting on my nerves right now - I was feeling bad for her until she decided to 'coax' Duo by buying her gifts. Overall, great episode. I'm still pissed that the leaked scene wasn't real, but a fantasy in that one girl's head. We were robbed.

Screw the Constitution of Korea, if that was me I would've beaten that guy to a pulp but anyways- I love Ji Ho Joon's female friend! It's a nice change from other series where every woman is toxic and obsessed with the male lead. We had the first kiss as well, obviously one of them was black-out drunk, but we'll see how they handle it in the next ep

Why was there a cat roaming around the office at the beginning of the episode? Is it, like, the office pet or something?On another note, this episode was really cute. The fact that they have a timetable for their landlord/tenant/team leader/subordinate dynamic is so funny to me, as well as their awkward attempts at flirting.

I liked that we got to see a little bit more of Seo Jae Yoon's personal life - his relationship with his ex-fiancé is also interesting. Their entire conversation on the beach was nice, well-paced and gave a different perspectivo into Seo Jae Yoon's thought process and motivations.

At first I was a little uncomfortable with the way Ji Ho Joon was putting Seo Jae Yoon on the spot in front of the other employees, and also giving him tons of extra work. I understand that they are both in on the tug war, however, I still think that the Team Leader has the upper hand in this scenario. It got better afterwards, and they shared a few cute moments together.

Their dynamic is so interesting, I love how Seo Jae Yoon doesn't let Ji Ho Joon intimidate him into compliance. It's fun to watch, even if I doubt that anyone would be so insistent in staying in that apartment in real life.
