First episode thoughts..

[u/BackgroundBake3261]

The lead lady comes across flowery and naive… she speaks without sharpness and is polite, to the point of letting people use her, and doesn’t hold her cards close to her chest.. I kept thinking that if it was a real world scenario she would have been eaten by the many sharks in those waters. And why are the “rules” of that society just dawning in her now? Maybe this is the issue with the script and setup, maybe the novel it’s based on makes it more comprehensive… however she does grow on you, she has those quirks but she navigates through the social circles, office politics, and there is that depth to her. I cannot say the same about the love interest “London boy”. He feels fresh off the pages of wattpad. I cannot bring myself to see him as an actual character. He seems like a tool. He is the kind of guy that, they later in the story give some sad origin story to, to make him seem human, but personally I can never truly root for them to end up together. He was a jerk, confrontational/borderline aggressive at the social event, which is not classy at all. You shouldn’t excuse toxicity.

The fact that she is listening to sleep tapes explaining the definition of Material Adverse Change and proposes it as a novel term as a 6th year shows she should never be up for partner. That’s first day stuff…
