  Quick catch-up

  Episodes 1 and 2 gave us Lee Jun-ho as Kang Tae-poong, a 26-year-old rich-kid drifter whose idea of responsibility is remembering the club's coat check. Then life yanks the rug: he gets shoved into his father's business chair, in the middle of a national economic crisis no less. Kim Min-ha's Oh Mi-seon enters as the quietly sharp operator trying to thread the needle between loyalty, survival, and her own ambition. By the end of Episode 2, Tae-poong has shelved the nightlife and is actually trying to earn the trust of the staff and keep the company alive. You love to see growth; you also know it is going to hurt.

  The show is written by Jang Hyun and directed by Lee Na-Jeong, and it is planned for 16 episodes total. Each hour-plus entry streams on Netflix in HD with multiple subtitle options and dubbing, but yes, you need a subscription.

  What Episode 3 is setting up

  This is where the business of business gets ugly. Tae-poong's sudden promotion is cute until payroll shows up. Expect tough calls he is not ready for yet, including the possibility of layoffs, and plenty of people testing his inexperience. Not everyone in the building is going to salute: some employees and stakeholders will question whether he belongs in that chair, some will slow-walk his decisions, and others may cozy up to rival interests. If you are picturing a tug-of-war between veteran staff who were loyal to his father and a cohort itching to rip off the bandage, you are on the right track.

  Mi-seon is carrying her own load. She is already stretched between doing right by the company and being present for her family, and that push-pull is likely to be the emotional center this week. Her dynamic with Tae-poong could tighten or crack under the pressure, depending on how he navigates the next crisis wave.

  Bottom line: the show started with a party kid, and now it is tossing him the keys to a company during a storm. Either he levels up fast, or the storm wins. See you on the other side of Saturday night.
