Min-jae's self pity

[Soju]

Min-jae needs to snap out of it. Hye-ran didn't feel about him in a romantic way, even before she me Hyun-kyu. And Yu-jin, who is smart, attractive, and mature, wants him. I know he's gone through a lot because of Hyun-kyu, but is he really that thin-skinned?

I used to work with a guy who was also full of self-pity. At first, he was popular and well-liked, but as time went on, everyone tired of his constant "Oh, woe is me!"

I hope Min-jae wakes up before he starts to alienate us.

I kind of agree w/you. Indeed, nobody likes to see somebody whine, but you have to understand that regardless of whether or not she corresponded to his feelings, he was extremely enamoured w/her. And to add insult to injury--she loves a man who made his life a living hell during his childhood. Totally understandable. Besides it's only been about two weeks (maybe even less) so I'm not totally sick of it, I would be surprised if he got over her too quickly. I think the writers are playing their cards right so far.

Ugh. Annoying co-workers

Since Yu-gin and Hye-ran are so different, Min-jae might have a difficult time transferring his feelings from one to the other. HR is very soft-spoken and YG tells it like it is. If HR was MJ's ideal type for ten years, it's gonna take a long time for him to find her as irritating as we do and appreciate YG's qualities.

That's a really good point. Poor Yu-jin, she is so in love w/Min-jae. She's really courageous though and quite "modern" for having grown up in Korea all her life. When she goes out shopping w/Minjae and is later unpacking all his purchases and tells him "You should marry me Min-jae, I'll make you really happy." I don't think I'd have the courage to do that when she probably new all too well that her offer would probably be rejected even if she was just kidding.
