So, the set-up of the story was solid.
The beginning and middle were great.
But the "great conflict" and the ending were unsatisfactory. (More details below.)

Overall the show is a 7.
The acting was great for what was asked of the actors.
Shooting was solid.
Music was negligible; not bad but not memorable either.
The story development though...oooof. Back to what is said at the start, details below, rant incoming.


"The Details"


So we have a rich older boss and a young newbie employee falling in love.
Add in a domineering father, etc. etc.
The plot is nothing new.
What made the show good was the acting, particularly Jeng, and the details within the story, how everything unfolded.
This show took the concept of "slow burn" and "pining" and created a gorgeous masterpiece.

What pissed me off?
1- Pat's character and his reactions, especially the "great conflict" and its resolution.
2- The ending leaving too much up in the air.

Let's deal with Pat first.
My complaints:
1) A crybaby
2) Can't accept reasonable work critique (constructive criticisms)
3) Bad communicator in his relationship with Jeng (especially the "big conflict")
4) Expecting Jeng to move on and forgive him, without him having done anything to make up for the hurt he caused, and having waited so freaking long to speak up and apologize (offering a minimal 'apology' to boot)

Any reasonable person in their twenties could, and should, expect to receive critique at work. There's no possible way that that doesn't happen. No person enters a field, enter the job market, capable of doing their work without direction and correction. Jeng was a micro manager. That's true. But never hurtful or rude, nor did he ever belittle Pat. No need to take everything so personally and have a crying jag every time you're corrected. Grow the heck up!!

The crying jags.
I understand stress. I get feeling hurt. But Every-Single-Freaking!-Time!! The guy is forever crying. He's in his twenties for heaven's sake!!! Again, I say, grow the heck up!!! Stoop acting like an overwrought teenager.
Too much crying. Just...too much.

The "big conflict" and it's resolution.
Both come back to him being a bad communicator with Jeng.
I can, and do, understand why he was mad at Jeng and hurt. (Though I also understand why Jeng did what he did. He should've been honest for sure. Maybe he should've let Pat turn him down, even if it meant watching Pat fail. But in truth, all Jeng did was make up for a situation caused by Jeng's own father which Pat shouldn't have been facing in the first place. )
Pat taking a step back to overcome that blow, I could understand that.
But the amount of time he took? How brutal he was about it?
No. Just...no.
Especially since afterwards, when they make up, he swears up and down that he never hated Jeng and was only angry. Sorry, anger doesn't last that long if you care about the other person. Your good feelings for the other person, and your sympathy for the hurt the other person must be going through too, overweighs anger in time. Pat acted awfully to Jeng.
Which brings me to their make up. I truly feel bad for Jeng. He deserved sooooo much better than an unreasonable, temperamental, and selfish child- which is precisely how I view Pat. Pat = Expecting everything, giving almost nothing, running away when things are tough, and only concerned with his own feelings.


As for the ending of the show itself:
Two major plot points were left hanging, which I don't appreciate at all.
I've seen other comments from viewers requesting a special episode to tie things up. That would be better than nothing, but even if we do get that special, I'll still be mad. The series itself should have concluded with a proper, full ending. A special is just that: a special bonus visit where we can see the happily-ever-after in progress; it should not be a continuation of the ending.

So ultimately, is this show worth watching? Yes.
Will I rewatch it? Yes.
Can it stand to be better? Yes.
Would I call this a good show? Yes.

Thanks for reading :))
Enjoy!! <3
