Drama Writing 101: You don’t have to make your second lead inexplicably and irredeemably evil for the audience to love and root for your first lead. Especially when said second lead is in possession of such cute dimples. This is unacceptable CRUELTY!!!
I KNOW!!! It is soooo mean and cruel!! Why must they do this to us?!?! I’m sticking with some secret plotting..! weird that im more into him than Kyung-pyo when the whole reason I started SD was cuz of him.. maybe thats why the writer felt the need to do it… but nooooooo
Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any secret plotting involved. The Dimple has decided to put his trust in the first person who extended their hand while he was in a rut, and that happens to be Ji-yoon’s evil mother. Add some extra petty jealousy over Dan-ah and Kang-soo’s relationship and voila you get a typical second lead. What a waste of a good character build up in the first 4 episodes (and a waste of Kim Sun-ho’s nuanced acting too). You can tell I’m still so bitter about it. Curse you, writer! The only way I’ll get over this is if they prove me wrong later on, but I don’t want to continue watching if they’re going to ruin Jin-gyu even more. He’s my fave!
Yeah it really is a waste.. stupid stupid ppl. and I was totally waiting for him to be the brains of the management behind the delivery app which doesn’t seem like it’s gonna happen.. sigh
he is swoonworthy to watch!! I’m just gonna throw my morals down the drain while the swoon at his dimples to watch. You not gonna give the character I want… then im not gonna follow the rules to only root for the good guys! Hmmph
I’ve root for bad guys before (the ambitious Kim Myung-min over the righteous Lee Seon-gyun in The Great White Tower), but the writing was so good in that drama that I don’t ever feel guilty.

Good or bad, he’s just entertaining to watch. This is how I justify it.
