all my homies hate J-Kwon
Ayo I've never been this early ❤
I think the disconnect here is that they don't understand how unfair the job market is in Korea. You can be the smartest/most qualified person, but the wealthy person with connections will always get the job over you. When I was living in Korea, I saw this happening a lot in workplaces.
Kwon is the only person on the team that doesn't have a tool he can use to get ahead. Sooyeon is a judges daughter and Youngwoo has autism (which is helping the agency's image). The average Korean citizen, despite having outstanding grades, struggles to get ahead. Him finding out that Youngwoo's father is involved somehow just proved his point. And he is not wrong in feeling how he feels.
Kwon's character is a representation of the lower class "fighting" their way to stay employed at the top. While I, as a viewer, I cant stand his attitude and methods, I inherently understand his anger after witnessing situations like these for 4 years in Korea.
@@mirdominance this. Even tho it makes sense considering her circumstances, seeing someone being given tons of chances and benefiting from connections suck. But really both have things in common. The fact Woo couldn’t get a job despite how smart she is shows how bad the job market is (besides the discrimination due to her ASD)
Culture's SHOCK @@mirdominance
Even the family of the actor playing Kwon hated him after this episode 💀
“Meanwhile woo crossed paths with her mom at Sears” I spit out my drink😂😂😂😂
“she bought that off SHEIN” HAS ME ROLLINGGGGGG LMAO
😂😂😂 fr
My thing with the nepotism situation, it honestly doesn't make sense how much he's hating because of it. If she was an ass attorney, his outrage would be justified. But, she was top of her class and practically aced the bar! She has the education and skill. At that point, you're mad that you're not as good
Dude, the thing is you're stealing opportunity
Which is earned
In Korea, nepotism is WAY more frowned upon due to how the competitiveness over there is on another level. Legislation was passed to prevent this sort of thing from happening. To Kwon's perspective, regardless of how good she is, she essentially cheated her way to getting the opportunity while everyone else has to claw their way just to get recognized. It'd be the equivalent of someone becoming a partner because the company needed a diversity hire. No matter how good at their job that they are, there's always gonna be that idea that they cheated their way to the top.
@blackfox4138 I understand the need for this law to make hiring fair and based off of ability and academic achievement, but she didn't cheat her way in. It actually was the opposite because she was discriminated against and only not given the jobs she would have gotten otherwise, because she is autistic. It was rigged against her, not in her favor, so this does not apply. He is just trying to find a reason to be upset because he is threatened.
@@brittanybatiste7373 How was it rigged ???
BTW, it's still cheating why must she be given a job while the rest of the guys don't
Her autistic status doesn't give her special privilege & money surely doesn't care
@@brittanybatiste7373 and this is why Kwon’s in the wrong. But from the eyes of a South Korean, this is why this is part of the drama. Woo fully deserves her position, but it looks as though she got her position through nepotism.
Nepotism is a pretty big deal in Korea (much more than anywhere else in the world) to the point that they have actively legislated against this. I think this is something foreign viewers (myself included) could easily miss.
So kinda like affirmative action?
oh really? I didnt know that but even from the states view nepotism is expected only to an extent. Getting you kid a regular employee job at the family company or friends business is fine (like in this situation) but the issue is when its a higher postion like giving them CEO or an executive position when they dont have experience to back up that position. Kwon was truly doing too much ignoring all the set backs woo has had simply for her disabilities, a good attorney is a good attorney your competition should not matter
I worked for a family owned business where the owner had all of his kids work for the company, starting with fairly menial office work. Everyone thought it was great, because the alternative was to go corporate and have us be subject to a bunch of bean counters with MBAs but no actual knowledge of the industry.
But I can see in a small country like Korea, where things are extremely competitive (those notorious cram schools!), how the slightest irregularity in hiring would be viewed with suspicion. I don’t think the term nepotism is correct here. It should be “having a connection.” Of course Kwon doesn’t know the actual circumstances of Woo’s hiring, so he could make the accusation of nepotism, but her father should not be using it. After all, it’s not like he went to CEO Han to ask a a favor. She came to him with an offer. That offer was too attractive for him to refuse, because
there was no other offer at all. He could have done a better job of explaining that. But it is more dramatic this way. Misunderstandings always do that.
Personally I don’t get how foreigners could miss it since it’s not like connections and nepotism doesn’t exist in the west. Tho it could be cuz of the bs lies America spreads about how it’s the “land of opportunity” and how ppl should “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”. The idea that skill is the only qualifier is just wrong, but some ppl actually believe it
That was clear, but she was illegally discriminated against by not being hired with the round of applicants who got in originally, so she would have had a good case for that, and for all Kwon knows, it could have been the threat of that which resulted in her late hire.
8:06 dude's name was son heung min, a world class soccer player and korea's best atm, that's why there was tension before bro opened the door and why he made a joke about them wanting his autograph. The camera shit he did with his hands is son's signature goal celebration. Hope this cleared that moment up!
THE WOO AND JUN HO OFFICE SCENE WILL ALWAYS SHOOK ME🤭🤭😵😵
I tolerate some nepotism if that person is skilled enough to do the job.
Roshi mentioned my main reason for disliking modern setting shows. People forget to call, email, text , video chat each other all the time. But I love this show and it only happens rarely in this show.
Interesting you say that. To me, it’s very funny now to watch old shows, especially old cop shows, because they don’t have cell phones. The writing, and the plot lines can be really convoluted simply because the characters can’t call, or text each other up at the drop of a hat and tell each other what’s going on. And then it’s really funny that someone can be at dinner at a restaurant and somehow get a phone call from some stranger. Like everyone knows where everyone else is at any given time, but they have to go through the telephone operator, and then the concierge at the hotel, and then the manager of the restaurant at the hotel, and then a waiter. Then finally, the telephone connection can be made. It’s hilarious when you think about it now.
I forget which famous writer (I think it's Stephen King) said this, but most writers advise that it's better not to include technology in your work bc it dates it. When you're trying to draw an audience into your world building you don't want them to be distracted. Modern shows don't have the same "ground up" build that fantasy shows do, and they need the audience to care about the characters, so they pull back on the tech (unless it's a show that purposely focuses on tech) bc tech is always changing.
at one end I hated kwon here but at the other end I liked that he thinks that woo is stronger than them
Exactly. If the world was filled with Kwons in a way, Woo would’ve had a job without needing connections.
What annoy me about Kwon, is he always just jumps to conclusion without knowing anything that led to anything. To him it was Nepotism she got the job, but to the audience it was justification. The second they saw the second page, all of a sudden she isn't good enough for the firm, even though she is the best candidate in Korea. And, now everybody that goes up against her gets demolished, except for two cases that were heartbreaking
As much as I hate Kwon for his actions and jealous rhetoric... In a twisted way, he respects Young Woo the most. Like he said he doesn't view her as "weak" and looks passed her disability. Treating her as an equal as he would any other competition like when he was in university. Just gotta point out the great character writing this show has for making believable conflict to flare up
a weaker writer would have made his character about how her autism is a hinderance to the firm and law should be removed so you would automatically hate him, but yea this staff definitely made it easier to understand what he is doing and only really disagree with it because we love Woo.
I loved this first interaction between woo and her mother..
Now in Korea, the drama 'Moving' is a big hit. Make sure you watch it. It's the best
37:10 korean culture thingy, i guess. everyone tried to stay away from woo, but she has given her a chance. woo's father owes something to her. in this situation, tho he's a school senior of the ceo, it will still be rude to just give her a call or send her a text saying, i'll let you use my daughter as your pawn. you've got my permission. that's kinda rude. if he could maybe invite her to some fancy restaurant to tell that, maybe it would have been better but we won't be able to see the drama, so ...
Nepotism wouldn’t have bothered me at all if the person benefiting from it is actually good. That connection or whatever wouldn’t have matter. But if they suck like coughkendallcoughjenner then nope. Anyways, I’m excited for you guys to watch you two react next ep. The last bit on ep 8 wrecked me and my mom. 🥲
Next episode is one of my favorite episodes from this series!
The light in your eyes and Move to heaven next!!! Move to heaven one of my top kdramas!!
How can Kwon see what she does in this case and still think she doesn't deserve to be there?
Ayy new vid!! Got something to watch while I’m eating some good soup 😮💨
Literally everyone hates kwon but bro is not wrong which is the funny part 😭
yes he wasn't wrong in this episode. and it's funny that he's the character that actually respects her skills the most 😭 he sees her as a proper threat
He kinda is though. If it was really fair she wouldn’t need connections to get the job in the first place, so it was already unfair from the beginning, but he obviously doesn’t care about it. If she was a bad attorney it would be a different situation, but she is clearly better than most of them, which makes her position in there totally deserved and completely fair.
YASSSSSS ONE OF MY FAV EPS ❤
nepotism in southeast asia is seen as a really really bad thing. when people know that you got the job thru connections you'll really get bullied.
in a way, attorney kwon is treating attorney woo as equal, a worthy opponent or as he put himself, someone stronger/smarter than himself. he's a vilain on the show alright but i can still see that he's not a bully, just like sang-woo in squid game was not a clear cut villain, either.
imagine, attorney spring sunshine being really nice to woo and 1 year later, she gets fired and woo remains. only than she will realise that kwon was right. woo is stronger/better than both of them put together. no more attorney spring sunshine but will be a winter blizzard 🎭
I think it's great that he doesn't treat Woo differently because of her autism, but at the same time it's like he's also disregarding how difficult it is for her because of her autism.
31:22 bro i can't stand sheera LMFAOOOOOOOOO
If you like lawyer drama you should try watching juvenile justice. Its a bit dark but soooo good.
Lawless lawyer is my favorite one
Knowing a person to get a job is kinda encouraged here in Murica. So seems kinda odd that they're making such a big deal bout it
They take stuff like that seriously in Korea, one of the reasons being it's so competitive there. It's more complex than that but like you I didn't see it as a big deal but I understand why.
on the 16th episode im going to put my recommendation of the next kdrama yall should react to.
that tree really became a protected tree in Korea right? i think i read it back then
These clients jumping up in court to say something! Don't they watch TV? :)
Regarding the demolition of private property, here is a curious fact about my country: BOSTIL, I mean, BRAZIL.
Recently the city hall team demolished a guy's house "accidentally", they ended up demolishing the wrong house by mistake. The conclusion of the case? The man was charged for the demolition service (without having ordered it). Brazil is the country where the state "helps you" without even needing it, and charges for the service, of course.
The judge in this ep is the teacher that slaps moon dong eun in The Glory
I would put the jacket over the ripped jacket because I wouldn't want to have to carry the ripped jacket around.
Yeah, I thought the video was a little ridiculous with the car speeding so much it was out of control.
My fav ep thoo❤ pls pls guys after tht pls react kdrama MOVING it's such amazing on each ep 🙏🙈
Even though nepotism isnt as crazy as it is over in the US, it is a big deal over there in korea because that can lead to bad things and i mean very bad things
I cant wait to watch these guys watch cobra kai season 6 bro
what’s the name of the song that y’all play to talk over when it’s time to give opinions about the episode?
Kwon still so dumb he doesn't get who likes whom.
Wow, you are able to remember Korean names. I have seen 5-7 Korean drama but to a non-Korean like me, every name feels similar so I couldn't remember any, even leads except of course Attorney Woo.
33:21 "Nepotism isn't necessarily like, a bad thing..."
Bruh, what. Nepotism is horrible!
But roshi's example is understandable tho. I would use by any means everything to help my family too to get a job.
@@annesy111 Agreed, especially when the only thing stopping them from getting the job is discrimination.
Nepotism is horrible when it keeps people with skill from getting a job they wouldn't be able to get otherwise. The problem is a lot of nepobabies ain't shit and come in with no life experience or street smarts.
@@jawz9455 nepotism and discrimination falls under the same umbrella tbh. Both are preventing qualified candidates from getting jobs.
Destroy this area?
There is worse than Kwon coming...
Mouse next I beg yall
Kwon's mindset might be "if her connections got her here then its fair game to stoop to her level."
His character is unlikeable (to me at least) but I get where hes coming from even if it doesnt sit right. He doesnt know that the CEO went up to her father, only we do.
Plus from what Ive read, in the comments and online, nepotism is a big deal in Korean culture (and other asian cultures, PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG) so its not seen wrong to want to report it. Its just that we seen what actually happened that makes it so annoying or uneasy to watch unfold.
Yello mates have a nice day and night
Nepotism is a big deal for them if you understand the intense power and social class play in the country.
It's not a natural thing but most countries overlook it but it's a huge problem there. Also basically you could be taking someone else's slot because you have the money, which is usually their case. The rich get richer and powerful, the poor get poorer and weak and their efforts go to waste.
But in Youngwoo's case she has also been disadvantaged by society so in this context she deserved that position by any means idc
Kwon, the anti shipper opp, bro go away. 😭 It was brought on Shein why the seam explode like that!?
alchemy of souls wheeeeeeeen
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLZ UPLOAD MUTANT MAYHEM PLZZZZZZZ
It’s okay young padawan. Patience bears fruit. Let them upload on their own time and schedule.
