It is another crazy week as our small startup attempts its eighth pivot, navigates a money war, and becomes a meme. As usual, their zany CEO gets into more shenanigans that liven up their days, but in all honesty, he should not take all the blame. Maybe there’s something in the water, but it seems that everyone here is little bit insane.
EPISODES 2-4 WEECAP
First of all, my apologies for missing episode two last week. It will piggyback on this week’s episodes, instead, so let’s jump right into it!
With the failure of Steve’s latest project — the ridiculously expensive and inefficient men’s down perm machine — he turns his attention to his neglected online matching service, How Match. Since they have seen a spike in users from older demographics, Steve announces his intentions to pivot (for the eighth time). His team unanimously rejects his proposal, but Steve ignores their concerns and uses his position to push forward… until KWAK SUNG-BEOM (Lee Joong-ok) pokes his head out from behind Philip. Apparently, he was here the entire time. Pfft.
As the lead developer, Sung-beom threatens to quit if they pivot again, and for once, Steve has to listen to his employee. In exchange for Sung-beom’s compliance, he assigns his team an assistant: Steve’s personal secretary JESSE (Bae Yoo-ram). For a self-proclaimed “hip” and open-minded individual, the development team is a living nightmare for Jesse, and he fails to understand these dad-joke spewing, One Piece theory arguing, “we live in a virtual reality” believing strangers.
