### Summary
Following the introduction of a potential new rival, reader focus has shifted entirely to Siwoo (Manager Kang). Current chapter comments reveal a wave of amusement and affection for his character, who appears to be reverting to his original, stoic "office ways" despite no longer being in that environment. Readers are humorously celebrating his lack of filter and a "plummeting reputation," finding his regression to his "day 1" persona endearing and a welcome source of comedy. This nostalgic reaction to his classic (=\_=) expression and blunt behavior contrasts sharply with recent concerns that the plot had grown "boring" since he quit his job. While the previous chapter set up conflict with a new employee, the current fan reception is overwhelmingly preoccupied with the comedic return of Siwoo's beloved, unfiltered personality, suggesting his character remains a primary draw for the audience.
