What people are even saying? an assistant and author pulling overtime is a very normal situation, regardless of gender. Also, she has no ill intent in doing so on contrary of the editor that clearly has romantic interest. How people manage to put at the same level overtime for work and going out for drinks is beyond me.
But i have a lot of fun seeing people talking trash of the actual heroine and siding with the loser. Have no idea how it ends but is quite obvious that this is a story between Ram and Sung-hwa.
