Commenting late, because I'm just now getting around to watching the series. The yelling in the beginning is not bad writing, it's the standard pattern with new bosses. I think it's heightened here because 1) Korea and 2) drama.

Whenever leadership turns over at a company, the new leader has to do something to assert his authority right off the bat, like changing something minor (or major). Otherwise, he faces the situation Hyung Wook did with Yoo Kyung ("You've been working in this kitchen for three years, so you think it's more yours than mine?").

The yelling is not necessarily because he's unbalanced or due to bad writing. It's because he has to impress upon these complacent people that he's the MFIC. There's a new sheriff in town, and they can't just blow him off.

I'm about halfway through the series right now, and liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Great chemistry between the leads.
