So it feels as if there ARE good reasons to question Su-Mi's integrity, but what ultimately costs her the position is framed as her stepping down to be a better mother, rather than stepping down to be a more honest person. And if she hadn't, Hanbada CEO would have put her on blast for having a child out of wedlock which is just unfair. It's like they half built a case why she deserved to lose the position, but then focused on the other bits of it.

Yeah, this is a big part of it!

I just so feel like the writers could have either a) shown us reasons why Su-Mi is not appropriate for this role or b) let her have the role AND let her have her relationship with her son! I think I'm really sensitive to the sexism of this particular scenario!
