it is genuinely so funny that people kept asking why the fuck kim kept hanging around and eventually dating jimmy. like legit asking what she saw in him and discouraging her from being around him. for the longest time, everyone saw kim as a talented, perfectly tailored, serious-minded professional, while jimmy was. yk. jimmy. but then the facade crumbled and kim's imperfections started coming to light. she was still talented, still clearly cared about her clients, but she was not docile. she was not some clueless innocent in need of being saved from jimmy's corrupting influence. she never was. kim fit perfectly with jimmy because she saw Herself in him, the part of her that wanted to lie and pout and cheat but was buried under so many layers of ambition and professionalism. she felt like she could be her true self around jimmy, the same way he was vulnerable around her, and that was what led to their mutually assured destruction. kim's resentment, jimmy's desperation—it was perfectly compatible and subsequently so dangerous. what do you see in him?? a reason to drop a facade and love and be loved unabashedly.
