I swear the only reason some of u guys like the producer is cause he’s “hot” (personally I don’t think so) but anyways…I don’t like the producer. Like yeah Jiho is wrong for egging them both on but I feel like the producer is kind of Manipulating him. He literally always puts Jiho on the spot. I’m not sure how to explain it but in the most simple way…Jiho doesn’t like looking like the bad guy and the Producer knows this but also takes advantage of it. For example, in this chapter we all saw how he made it seem like Jiho didn’t want him to come to the dinner. Jiho being sensitive to other people’s impression of him obviously doesn’t want the others around them to think he’s being “mean” to the producer. Another example. Producer lee is always hitting Jiho with these surprise interview questions. Like “older or younger”? Like wtf?!! He puts Jiho in these petty situations where he either “chooses the option that represents the producer therefore making his relationship with Woohyuk worse, or where he chooses the option that represents Woohyuk which just leads to the producer acting like a victim like “boo hoo u didn’t choose me” making Jiho feel bad!! LIKE BISH! The producer is LITERALLY always playing a victim to make John feel bad. Then when Jiho gets into an argument with Woohyuk, the producer is always there to lend his shoulder not because he genuinely wants Jiho to feel better and not worry, but because he just wants to have that title as the person who was there for Jiho every time he cried. It’s true that they both share deeper conversations, but that’s rlly only because producer lee is the only person Jiho talks to after a fight with Woohyuk. Imagine being in a 3 person friend group of u, a girl, and a boy. You always get in a fight with the boy so u feel like u have to talk to the girl about it. When u constantly ignore the fact that u have to confront the boy and share ur thoughts and instead keep talking to the girl about it, OFC UR GONNA HAVE A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP. I just think that Producer lee is constantly taking advantage of Jiho’s weak spots to get closer to him instead of genuinely caring about Jiho’s feeling is all of this. Woohyuk nor Jiho on the other hand don’t know how to communicate to each other which is what keeps drawing them apart.
I apologize for the rant but I just had to let it go. I feel like some ppl are always blaming Jiho for things he doesn’t deserve to be blamed for. He is wrong in some parts but at the same time, the producer just does these big little things that effects Y’all’s impression of Jiho. Like when y’all were upset that Jiho was considering using his car to gain sympathy points from the judges. BOI the producer is the one who CAME UP WITH THE IDEAAA. But y’all be so blind by his appearance that y’all never even put a single blame on him or his morals. Like plss. I’m not saying he shouldn’t Pursue Jiho, I’m just saying his methods just don’t sit right with me.

You're absolutely right lol. Producer is in a position of power, he's in charge of the show and knows Jiho is desperate for money, so a lot of things he does is taking advantage of Jiho's desire to win/stay on the show. Their relationship is unbalanced to begin with unlike Jiho and Woohyuk which isn't healthy either but at least they are equals.

Wait so...Baek wasn’t the one jacking off in the bathroom...#-.-)

No at the beginning it showed someone jacking off but in the latest episode is showed a flashback to when seo banged on the bathroom door and Baek seemed startled. So I think that the employee that walked out of the bathroom was the one that was actually jacking off cause the author never showed the person’s face.

Uh no the employee never walked out of the bathroom, bathroom and staffroom were just next to each other so when he makes exit from staff room seo see him then and his words makes him think he was doing it, as for baek I believe they never showed his face jacking off but due to his clothes and seo thinking it's him cuz of his moaning I think it is him although in the flashback it says otherwise
I love that as soon as he knows she is misunderstanding, he clears it up hehe. Cause In other manhwa even when someone realizes that they’ve been misunderstood they’re still “too scared” to tell the truth and clear the air. In this case it’s been solved between the archduke and Beatrice but since everyone still thinks she’s a boy they’re still gonna think he’s gay lol.
