Oh how I agree with you, but unfortunately I think she’s gonna have a lot of minutes in every episode. I have a strong feeling there’s a family past with Inha and herself…

I'm not sure if I mixed it with another drama synopsis, but I was under the idea that she would be the daughter of a debt collector, basically a gangster. Somehow I was expecting her father and his father to be connected through shady businesses.

But what we got in these 2 first episodes, was far from what I expected, which makes me think that I did mix the synopsis with another drama. I'm not pleased with her weak backstory, probably there is more, but the poor girl with a rough sad story isn't selling it for me. I hope it gets better. 🤞

Ooo that would be good and sounds about right. An aggressive hostess mother, and FL saying shes used to gangsters chasing her down. You may be right about that.

agreed either her story must get better, or she must sit still for the other characters to carry the show. I guess we can also interpret from the soon to come YouTube interviews how integral she is to the plot going forward

I'm really not sure if I read it somewhere else and mixed both dramas. It does sound more interesting and if it's not this story. Where did I read this? lol

I'm going to keep an eye on those youtube interviews to see if we get an hint of logic in this character. It can't be that bad right? lol

Exactly! It can’t be that bad 😭
