I agree with Justin's take on Ahjin's goal, I don't think it's about being a top actress or a lawyer or anything else, it's PURE SURVIVAL, AT THE TOP. Because for her, average survival has been dirty, being taken advantage of, people (dad and stepmom) wanting to use her beauty and trying to put in front of camera (for the worst) since childhood, constant fear and anxiety of when she'll get abandoned again, there's no peace, that's all she has seen when it comes to average survival, she never wants to go back to that. As she said at the end of ep4, she want to be reborn at the very top, she no one can touch her. That's all she wants, it doesn't matters if she is using anyone or hurting in the process, her will to survive at the very top is extremely strong. And that's why she keep falling in the traps and getting shackles. Moon do hyuk is WALKING RED FLAG, and she knows that, but if that walking red flag can offer her survival at the very top, she somewhat becomes blind about other things and can't see how this a very dangerous threat too, all she care is being at top and live the most comfortable life, that no one can touch.

Jun-Seo rejected to go out to drink because he had a kidney transplant surgery ahead of him. Lena is upset he did not tell her that. She clearly has feelings for him. Freezes - I know you're working on it, but just so you know where to look and how many 04:21~04:25 06:55~07:00 13:50~13:55 23:40~23:45 28:00~28:05 29:40~29:45 37:45~37:50 40:30~40:35 50:10~50:15 51:30~51:35

2026-01-27 16:37:16 +0000 UTCI also agree with Justin that she doesn't really know what she wants. I don't think her goal is to become the top actress, it's more about breaking free from everyone's control and achieving total freedom. But that's fundamentally unattainable, no matter how powerful or wealthy someone becomes. Everyone remains bound by something or someone (anger, greed, love, guilt... etc.). Every character in the drama, like people in real life, is driven or constrained by either another person or an internal force. She doesn't seem to recognize this paradox, so she keeps chasing an unattainable dream.

2026-01-27 16:16:07 +0000 UTCYou mentioned in your reply on my comment on Romantics Anonymous that it would be helpful to have the timestamps of when the video freezes, so I kept track of them during the first half of the video which are: 4:22 - 4:25; 6:55 - 7:00; 12:11 - 12:15; 13:50 - 13:55; 23:40 - 23:45; 28:00 - 28:05. I stopped keeping track after that. Hope this is helpful to you!
