faithinme lara Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Ep 13 impression ( the looming of darkness surrounding danyi) A++ effort from eunho to find alternatives for danyi even though it's useless. I somehow can't comprehend the idea of Danyi contract termination are because they will find it uncomfortable how to address her because she used to go to great uni and advert agency?!!. She applies for Task Support Team and accepted into it. Treat her like what she hired to. Who cares about what she achieved 7 years before?!!! She applied the job,she do the job sincerely, she never complain about her tasks or her salary, she helped when she doesn't have to, what more could they thinks negatively of her? I know she resign at the end,but it's too much to her. We're gonna see what push her to resign. I don't think eunho will be the only reason. The way Director Go lashes at her in upcoming ep seems to indicate otherwise. She so hellbent on dismissing danyi from Gyeoroo and it makes my blood boil 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I cannot comprehend n understand why the president sides with ms go or ko. Why, why? Anyway, may she deserves better place and better happy life. Good luck dan i. Meanwhile, she is lucky to have eun ho by her side, this time, encouraging her and cheering her mood. She definitely is upset with the whole situation n being jobless again. Poor her. Fighting..... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sianna Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) I have a confession to make. I have something rather embarrassing to share with friends and former colleagues but I can SOOOOO relate to Kang Dan Yi . I am in the exact same situation. I have a master's degree from a good uni...I had worked in managerial positions for multinational companies for 11 years before my baby was born. Now I have been away from work for 8 years and is also experiencing extreme difficulties going back to the workforce. I have been receiving replies telling me I am over qualified or I have been away from work for too long or simply no replies at all. After repeated rejections, as a long-term unemployed "failure", my self-esteem plummeted and doubt/fear that my past-experiences useless and skills atrophied. Now I am only working on some very ad hoc freelance cases with meager pay. I feel so helpless and hopeless. It is not that I don't think realistically -I need a job, I am eager to work and I don't mind working in a lower level position. As a generation X I do not worry about or afraid of hardships, I was trained and I believe that if one is willing and is diligent opportunities are there for you to grasp. But this is so far from reality. To be honest, I thought about not listing my degree as well as toning down my past working experiences....but that will just make my resume look even less qualified in conjunction with my age. I bawled my eyes out along with Kang Dan Yi in the ladies room. The struggles and the brutal realities depicted in this drama are very real in Asia.

skyenugget Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I also feel so frustrated with all of you wrt DY’s situation. Her job application as task support team stated that “age and educational background was irrelevant” but it seems not so. I felt it is so unfair that someone who had such good credentials are not allowed to enter the workforce anymore, as if it is wrong or discouraged to take a break to go invest time on your own children. Honestly what is this world valuing these days? In the next episode, it seems like DY will resign, I’m guessing partly also because she doesn’t want to implicate EH, and she acknowledges that she has not been truthful in revealing all her qualifications, granted it is out of desperation. I see a theme in INTEGRITY here and the struggle to have that, our characters are not perfect: - I like how EH doesn’t abuse his power to help DY totally with the competitions, - or that DY acknowledges her less than truthful application is wrong and she should pack up even though she has done good work - or Ms.Go taking DY’s idea as her own and not acknowledging it but the line is so gray here also... (I can’t think of anymore for now) Yet having integrity doesn’t come easy. It is always easier to lie. Sometimes truth is hard to keep like what’s happening with author Kang...which is also the question of whether was it right to do so or not? These are hard questions to ponder upon and we get to glimpse that internal struggle of the characters in this drama. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that DanI had to resign so that she will come back to the company on merit. We have to get the low moments when she's defeated, so that when she wins the idea contest, we feel happy (in your face Ms Go!!) I am convinced she'll win that contest! I died at this moment when their relationship is revealed!! It's almost like it happened to a friend!!! 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgfan Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) @Sianna Luke Thank you for sharing. I am also a jobseeker, with 11 years of working experience and a master's. My job search for the past 3 months has been tough, especially since I am trying to switch industries. I have also thought about not listing my post-grad qualification for entry-level roles. But decided against that and instead tried not to highlight it and downplayed my experience. Still experimenting with this strategy in my applications. I am also ready to start anew with a junior role, but hiring managers are usually skeptical, wondering why I would leave my previous industry and settle for a much lower pay elsewhere. There are efforts from governments and industries to encourage companies to hire mums and seniors returning to the workforce. Sounds good on paper, but in reality, not many companies have jumped onboard. @Fenxia Tan I agree with you about integrity being a recurring theme. Ms Go is the stick-to-the-rules, no exceptions type. I noticed a hint of guilt in her expression and some empathy. Although Ms Go understood KDY's struggle and reasons, she couldn't simply turn a blind eye and had to report or do something about it. I hope some of you are right, in that she intends to get KDY to re-apply for regular employment. I too wonder why OJY hadn't been fired over the misprint of thousands of books..

Latte_Anyday Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Geez that female staffer wanted Dan-I out of there fast as much as that evil female chief editor! I mean I know she's desperate to keep her job by using Dan-I as a scapegoat but sheesh! Dan-I has actually gone out of her way to help her out several times Just goes to show that at the end everyone is only looking out for themselves Sure when they need a favor, you must always oblige but when the situation turns around they have no qualms on throwing you under the bus I like how Hae-Rin stood up for Dan-I. For someone who keeps up appearances, she sure has a lot of wardrobe malfunctions That female chief editor keeps missing buttons tsk. tsk. I mean couldn't that widower President of Gyeoroo just handed her the button ha-ha?! Did he really need to sew it back for her? I see another loveline here...maybe then she wouldn't be so prickly Ok..ok so she redeemed herself halfway through ep. 14 LoL. Having Dan-I be unemployed may not be such a bad thing as we get to enjoy some lovey dovey scenes of our otp lovebirds I think Lee Jong-Suk is having the time of his life here as he seems to be enjoying his role a bit too much, it sort of blurs reality & fantasy as Lee Na-Young has been his crush for ages now. Wonder what her hubby Won-Bin thinks eheheh?! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faithinme lara Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Ep 14 impression ( Danyi starting anew and another secret reveal) Gosh, Gyeoroo become so weird just a day after danyi was notified of her contract termination. The awkward atmosphere,the stolen glances,avoiding her.... I FELT THAT DEEP INTO MY BONES. And then, richard simmons happen. That girl,she find a perfect person to blame for her own mistake. That moment,i cheer danyi for walking away. EUnho is a walking angel,instead of asking her to reconsider,he just comfort her with hug and taking days off to accompany her at home. That domestic bliss... make me....CRINGE Ms Go looks a bit better in my eyes when she offer danyi a place in small and a lil bit shady publishing house. A great challenge that i hope danyi can overcome with success. FIGHTING KAND DANYI. WE WILL CHEER YOU AS A WATCHER!!! A new part of Kang Author 10 year ++ secret revealed. He did has alzheimer. The notes,seems to indicate that. The burning question,is the manuscript send to gyeoroo which indicate as kang author unfinish work yet was send in someone else name, or we know that person as Ji Seo Jun. What so mysterious about him,eunho and author kang? Great week as usual. Great week to spend lee jong suk absent for 2 years like i said...
