The reality of romancing severely burnt-out workaholics
I love this game, but the older I get, the more I realize how tragic their lifestyles are:
- Jaehee: Chronic overwork, no work-life balance, and zero ability to say "no" to tasks.
- Jumin: Completely addicted to corporate management, treating his entire life like a business contract.
- Seven: Driven by tight deadlines and high-stress missions, working until his brain literally melts.
- Zen: An intense overachiever who prioritizes his career over basic medical advice and safety.
The narrative heavily relies on MC performing free emotional labor, framing the management of their daily traumas as the basis for romance.
