Good comedy but shallow telling of body image crisis

Comedy bits were good. Enjoyed the gang in the absurd corporate world. But the suicide case here...this is by far the worst episode so far. Where do I even start: - The woman hears criticisms from others as voices when for actual serious case it should be just small part of her trigger and most of them would come from insider her, i.e., she believes people keep criticizing her and look at her when most people actually don't really care.- A deep rooted issue but she is saved by few words from a guy who is acting oblivious to how she feels. I feel like director added the scene with prison last minute when they realized it looks like she is not driver of her own change. Had they shown she's been learning and working with her self image up to this point but was brought to point of giving up and then felt encouraged by hearing that it's possible to win that fight, it would have made sense the words gave enough motivation for her to try again. Note, what I am saying is not strange for the makers of this drama because first two cases of series were written quite well.And then at the end woman that is clearly overweight adds that she also stays healthy is just a weird Americanism - she's clearly overweight and consumes too much sugar. She could have just said, she is trying to stay healthy and maybe she can help her with that while she is helping her with body image. This episode was clearly focused on the funny bits so suicide case was simplified but hello, suicides rooted in deep traumatic events are serious, you can't get sloppy. If you wanted to make the episode light fun, make a case for a drunken love, hysteria-driven suicide - it can be easily resolved in funny way without needing to make it proper. Make the boss guy suicide case and watch how appalled Koo becomes.
