I understand why a lot of people dislike Austin

Just finished watching Season 2 of the show and while I enjoyed it, I finally understand the sentiments some people have about Austin on the show. This guy is genuinely such a TWAT!

A lot of characters on the show can be frustrating (except my fav Eunice, call me biased all you want) but I understand that if drama is gonna go down in a show, a lil bit of misunderstandings and general conflict has to happen, so fine. But Austin, in my opinion, took that so far.

Not only is it just irritating seeing him trying to come off as this nice and selfless guy when in reality he is quite manipulative and is just as bad (if not worse) than Ashley from a moral standpoint. But he also constantly makes Ashley feel bad about wanting to help him out with the whole PT thing which literally could’ve put HER job in jeopardy just cuz she felt bad and wanted to him out, being such a pushover with the backbone of a wet sponge that couldn’t even get his injured fiancée the Gatorade she wanted, emotionally cheating on her with Eunice, AND THEN messing up the sperm sample and not telling Ashley he wanted to break up until they were literally in Korea and in deep trouble.

The actor did a great job because Austin genuinely pushed my buttons so bad I literally caught myself sighing deeply anytime he popped up on the screen with his dumb smirk.

Finally, I agree with what some people have said on the sub about how a lot of people hate on Ashley a lot but completely glance over how bad Austin is as well.

I love the writing of this show SO much

I’m currently watching Season 2, but I couldn’t stop myself from talking about this. The writing in this show is truly amazing.

I love how economical it is both in Season 1 and so far in the episodes I’ve watched in Season 2.
I really love how whenever a character or plot device is introduced, 9/10 times, it’s gonna come back and be crucial to the story.

I personally loved the writing in Season 1 and the humor, plot and even the significances and deeper meaning in stuff just naturally happened and made sense.

What are you guys’ thoughts?

P.S: I know some people don’t really like the Korean storyline in Season 2 and I agree and understand the reasons behind that, but I still think it does make sense with the plastic surgery storyline of Lindsay and also how Austin was able to get set up for the PT job since relational/social job referrals are prominent in the SK job market culture.
