boknam being an actual threat isn’t surprising. on more surface level stuff 1) his immaturity & more deeply 2) his lack of respect towards jiho and her autonomy was apparent from the start. even without his cryptic words during his confrontation with saehee at the end, he created an uncomfortable atmosphere from the beginning, in which his “charms” were immediately stripped away in my eyes.

but even as i point out how obvious it was, the only reason i’m capable of pointing this out (as a viewer) is because i have the time to think back on the things he’s done while it’s actively taking place. which isn’t necessarily a luxury women have have in real life, much like jiho herself. 

the overall commentary in how men present themselves to women, treat women, etc has been so well done in this drama so far that i can’t help but feel sick to my stomach fr. from sooji in her workplace to now jiho :(
