Ah, so the one on the death row is their biological father? But they don't know it yet, right? Also, somebody keeps changing synopsis here so it's even more confusing now - now it says their step father is on the death row 🤦‍♂️

I've also seen autistic people or people who's family member is autistic commenting on youtube videos about the show. Most seem to find many similarities and I haven't seen anyone bashing it.

You mean this?
"Jung So-min initially announced that she had signed a contract to appear in Part 1, and in Part 2 Go Yun-jeong took the lead role."

They're milling the same rumors from before, nothing new. It is known that JSM officially signed only for part 1, while other actors for both parts. That's where the rumors started. And nobody's officially confirming neither her, nor GYJ for part 2 yet. Not the showrunners, not their agencies, because it will spoil the ending of part 1. But I'm guessing since they had to evade the answer in their official response a while ago, there's something to it. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Or maybe it's a big red herring to generate buzz.

And yet rabid idol group Blackpink Jisoo's fans have outvoted her in favor of a noob actress that debuted in Snowdrop this year:

I've seen Snowdrop and FL there made me skip all the romantic scenes in the end, be it because of her dumbassery as a character or just bad acting. And I just can't comprehend how she can be even in the same poll with PEB.

Personally I think idol fans are the worst. If they're not foaming from their mouth how great their person of interest is in a drama and give overrated scores, they're scorebombing another drama for any perceived slight of them (like Tomorrow was bombed by BTS's ARMY).

Which article?

I'm getting confused here. How many children does chaebol villain have? He's got the eldest, the younger one who died in an "accident" and the younger one looked like twin brothers? And synopsis was saying that their stepfather was killed by their real father (chaebol villain?) with a plot device aka. Adamas arrow?

Also, I'm getting bad vibes from this show, because the evil conglomerate has a special division that cleans up all the family messes just like TOP in Graceful Family. Of all the makjang dramas, that show pissed me off the most because of the bullshit they kept pulling off.

There are. Just look up in the discussions above - they leave feedback there.

Bear with it if you can, she's starting to come around...after half the show's already out.

I doubt it will happen. And that article you’re referring sounded rather pessimistic about it, quoting showrunners themselves. It is very rare kdramas get second seasons, even very successful ones. And the fact that this one had a completed script for a long time only for one season; they barely managed to convince FL actress, with no guarantee she’d want to continue the same gig or won’t have her schedule filled for something else; and ML actor going to serve in the army for more than a year it doesn’t seem likely there will be season 2. And there doesn’t need to be one. Personally, I’d rather them finish the story they wanted to tell and leave it on a beautiful note, instead of running after money.

That sus Cha Do Won prosecutor looks so similar to Seo Yul character from Alchemy of Souls drama, he pisses me off even more now 😂

Probably because she was jealous of the pretty and well dressed Heo girl already and then saw how cozy they were at the clearing. And yea, he said he liked her, but he never complimented her as woman.

It's promotional. Probably was about that book with invisible poem, it was indestructible.

I actually didn't get that scene at first, thought something was off with translation. But after rewatching it I figured out she was there to check the rumors if he's really switched to master Lee and is drinking chaste tea, so she dared him to prove the rumors wrong by hugging that Heo girl, because she thought he doesn't think much of her as a woman/doesn't treat her like one.

Me neither, tbh. It was a surprise kiss, the girl was shocked, should they've started making out already?

And I dunno, there's this other drama ongoing atm and guys where making fun of strict, cold and professional FL that she doesn't have a "romantic bone" in her body, so vague flirting doesn't work on her. Kinda sounds like Naksu as well. She was either surviving in the woods or assassinating people for the bad guys, living a dangerous life so to speak. Did she even have any prior romantic relationships? And I'm not talking about that childhood thing with Yul that ended abruptly anyway.

Yea, Uk's character is well written, he's got a classical hero fighting through trials thing going, but he's also flawed and it makes it funny. His actor is doing a very admirable job as well.

Jin Mu is actually a pretty nice guy behind the scenes. He's good at acting a nasty villain.

Which funny scenes are your favorite?
I recall there was quite a number of them in the beginning, but fun stuff kinda got toned down closer to the end with all the serious stuff.

Well, I google translated that Naver article and it basically repeats the old rumor about og Naksu. Nothing new or official confirmation yet. As for the other stuff it's basically about this:

Seo father will be in part 1 allegedly, Seo uncle will be in part 2. I'm beginning to think they really are prepping for leads to come with Seo Yul to another fortress, where Seo elders are commanding the army (?). But what about returning characters that live in the capital? Like CP, Park Jin, maidsercant Kim? They'll follow them as well?
Also it's very expensive and long to create new sets, but they've started filming already 🤔

Is there translation for it? Do showrunners officially confirm the swap? Or still a rumor?

Is that the guy from Stranger and Again My Life? He seems to be always playing the same character - corrupt villain.
