Vile!

I hated this drama, the first few episodes were OK but after that each episode was just dark and depressing leading up to the obvious and unforgivable ending.
The story starts with Won getting fired from his job. His boss tells him that if he can find the chairman's favorite potter he will get him his job back. He decides to take a break away and luckily meets the potter, he starts spying on him and reporting back to his boss. Over the next 7 episodes he uses the potter's friends to help him get close and find out information, searching his house, reading his mail and just being a complete vile pig.
In between being scum he starts having feeling for the potter, we then get the longing looks and all the normal sweet moments. It never really made much sense to me how one scene is all lovey dovey and then the next one is him calling the boss or emailing a report about the potter, how can I like this guy?
7 episodes later and they have started dating, but he's still not told the potter the truth. It is meant to be a love story, but every episode is tainted because one is a scumbag lying and deceiving the other one.
I don't care if he's fallen in love with him, it's been 7 episodes, 7 episodes out of 10 of me watching Won befriending someone for all the wrong reasons and only feeling guilty because he now has feeling for him.
The potter finds out the truth and breaks up with Won and I am finally happy. I would have liked some violence or maybe had Yoon spit in his face, but at least the scum as now been dumped.
The potter's friends for some unknown reason all decide to give him terrible advice and take Won's side, these people were also lied to and used by Won but they don't seem to mind.
Not really caring seems to be a theme in this drama, Won invites someone to his Birthday getaway knowing that his other friend won't like it, but no one gets angry or annoyed
Won leaves the Birthday getaway halfway through without telling his friend who organized it for him, but no one got angry or annoyed.
Won spends months lying and using everyone, but again, no one cared. The potter ( Yoon ) who is the victim, even blames himself for what Won did to him. Won, twice in the drama tells Yoon that he feels wronged because Yoon doesn't trust him anymore.
The drama ends when Yoon chases after Won and apologizes to him, the guy is scum but somehow he as become the victim in this drama.
If he had come clean earlier in the drama I could have liked this drama, but it was too little loo late and what he did was unforgivable.
Yoon kept having flashbacks to all their sweet moments, it made no sense to me. After finding out that Won had been lying and deceiving him all these months, all these sweet moments would now be sour moments, the memories would hurt more because he loved him.
Forgiving someone is the easy part, forgetting is the difficult part, that is the part that will tear you apart inside and stop you taking someone back. All your good times together get destroyed, you sit there questioning the sincerity of their previous words and actions until it drives you crazy.
