What he did for her was saving her from having an horrible death. Being dismembered is not a slow and painless…
while I'm sure all can agree that saving Aeng-cho from dismemberment was nice, I feel like all of Mu-jin's descendants are valid for being angry at him for cursing their entire existence bc of his one choice. I know I would be in their shoes.
this episode melted my brain... Like ma'am, if I were you, I'd simply call an ambulance… But that would be too logical… We are rapidly approaching Bong Ye-bun levels of silliness…
Wow, Joseon!Dad is much worse than Present-day!Dad could ever dream of being.... but look at this inbred aristocrat scum casually threatening to sell his son’s lover into sexual slavery… (I think I have an idea who Joseon!Dad is trying to marrying him off to… it’s past Nayeon, isn’t it?)
Aristocrats ☕️… Like?? torturing and blinding an old woman?? Just so his son marries the girl daddy thinks is best??
I do think Aeng-cho didn’t have to make too much up in her breakup speech tho. let’s be realistic, you can’t have a romantic, happy ending in the mountains while being hunted by daddy dearest.
I am calling it now: him dying and then being resuscitated is gonna break the curse on him.
God I hate monarchs… the king and his concubine…. Two more people who need have a 1-on-1 with the Madame de la Guillotine…
For a shaman that's "lowlier than an animal", she's got drip 🥶🥶💯💯🗣️🗣️ seriously that white hanbok goes hard
Imagine being so hot, swoony and romantic you make your crush forget the time your dad melted her coworker's eyes into goo
They really did the Joseon version of "teach your partner how to shoot as a way to get some skinship in" trope... gotta respect it. Nancy and Jonathan did it better tho.
Mujin’s dad, this random concubine, Joseon!Jaekyoung, the king, his torturers.. actually you know what, Aeng-cho has an even sadder life than Hong-jo, no comparison.
Also damn, even Joseon!Jaekyoung is an asshole. Turns out being an asshole reverberates through centuries and generations T-T
It's funny bc they could just shoot Joseon!Rowoon down at any time, but then we wouldn't get a badass fight scene. And guys, you have surrounded a wounded man, there’s no need to attack one at a time… this should takes seconds…
y'all who are actually invested in this shit, pls explain it to me: What is Mujin’s goal here? Is he bringing the box to the queen? Is he gonna hide it??
Jang Mujin, baby girl, you might be glad to accept the curse but your descendants may feel differently… imagine dying at the age of 35 just bc your many times great granddad was really into this pretty chick
In a drama with a sexual predator CEO, a serial killer and Jae-kyoung, Nayeon is possibly the worst of the worst, the arch villain imo…. Throughout her alliance with Stabby McPsychoface, contrary to her lies, she knew was dealing with a freak... and what was the endgame anyways? Was the plan to have him stalk and murder Hong-jo? So you can marry a man you're already cheating on?
His mom continues to be the most wholesome and most level-headed person in the entire drama, but we all expected that. Meanwhile Sinyu’s dad... bitch instead of blaming Hong-joo, ask about the involvement of the woman you were about to marry your son to... just to make your company’s line go up 📈📈📈
I don't really follow that neighbour ajumma's logic but she so kindhearted... we stan... maybe one of 2 women portrayed positively in this drama besides Hongjo/Aengcho herself... f this psycho even comes close to her... 🔫
How did this man dodge all his co-workers on the way to the roof?? Noone has any questions about the recent stabbing victim walking up all alone??
HOW DOES HONGJO GET EVEN STUPIDER??? Yes, let's leave the safehouse and go directly into the serial killer's arms without telling ANYONE, even the police... In terms of braincells, she started at -1 but somehow she keeps losing them
Sin-yu pulled the bodyguard UNO reverse card… Okay, they're really cute and romantic but this drama is fucking frustrating
ROOWON LITERALLY SAID THE SAME THEORY I WAS TALKING ABOUT…. They pulled a Jon Snow on us!!
Fuck, I hate that the mirroring is so clever in the drama… This time she's the one who flinched when her hand gets close to his face, usually he’s the one who flinches at her touch… That’s the one braincell of the screenwriters working overtime
Personally, if a baddie told me, "in the past life and this one too, I love you" and hugged me with that smile... I would climb him like a tree and never let go 🐨 but Hongjo built different … it should have been me in her place…
Anyways, so much shit happened in one episode ... like 2 dramas' of plot in one episode... But it seems like she grows a backbone next week??? And more cute moments? Typical kdrama rom-com moments?? Sign me tf up
I'm enjoying this drama very much, especially this week. I found the first two episodes quite tedious tbh, but the humour in eps. 3-4 really hit hard, the emotional beats of the father-son relationships were touching and even the lower emotional points, such as Se-kyoung's backstory (jfc, it was so dark), were moving. Honestly, I was on my feet and cheering along with the crowd during their performance towards the end of ep. 4, it was that great imo. But aside from general pleasure, I don't really have much to comment on. I don't know why, but I'm struggling so hard to say something , anything, about this drama unless I really think hard. Like rn, for example!
That being said, I am a little curious about who Se-kyoung's first love is/was.* Traditional drama logic says the dad, but the way they played the scene where the son sees her for the first time, it could be him too. And is there really something to the theory going around, that somehow the Se-kyoung who they meet next week is actually her time-travelling daughter from the future? sounds very involved imo, but it could account for the rapid change of personality.
What I really liked from this week: 1) the actress who plays 1995!Mom is cute as a button, 2) the budding friendship between Sekyoung and 1995!Mom was so sweet and wholesome, it's sad it got cut short (?) 3) lmao, at the way son and dad sleep the same way, it's somehow very cute
What I didn't like: 1) ugh, bullying AGAIN 2) 1995!Se-kyoung was completely in the right for giving the "Reason You Suck" speech to 1995!Dad. My brother in Christ, stop looking like a wounded puppy, you are STALKING her.
*anyone remember the tense Douglas Adams came up with for timey-wimey matters? might come in handy for this drama
Honestly, I have no complaints, this was a 10/10 drama and 10/10 finale. The only thing I could wish for was maybe 4 more episodes, but the story is fine as it was, it's just wish fufillment on my part... I want more scenes with this couple *as* a couple lol.
The gangsters were despicable as always, so I was kinda sad they kinda got the profit they wanted... tho ig they weren't able to enjoy it for long as Taeyong put them in jail a year after?? that was damn cathartic, but u know what would be even better? seeing that bastard (and sexual predator grandpa) behind bars, but I'll take what I can get.
it's a measure of how good the writing is that I rooted for both of the women? they both gave it their all and they fleshed out A-reum enough that I was genuinely happy that she won. A-reum put so much blood and sweat and tears into the sport, as did her coach and boxer eonni, that she just deserved that win.
I *was* cheering for Gwon-sook in the match.... but even if she lost, she's finally free of the sport she hates, she can be proud of her effort and move on with her life. I think she's a coach now, but I kinda want her to be a schoolteacher as before. either way, she likes working with kids so I think she's happy. I hope she's still in touch with her teacher besties, they and the other eonni continue to be so damn wholesome & supportive.
A-ra and orange hair couch boy had zero buildup, but I'm happy for them lol. him wanting to be in the ring also came out of nowhere, but I wish him the best. Sidenote: I love A-ra's dimples!
tbh, I don't have much to say about Taeyong? I feel like he barely got screen time imo and his character development was already wrapped well before. I wish he had some more attention in the finale just bc I like his character & actor. (I was kinda checked out from the match itself, it went on a bit too long imo and I wasn't that invested at that some point)
my fav scene ofc was at the end. the sequence with the pretty trees and all was gorgeous in itself. mostly tho, I'm just happy that my ship sailed. I would have been happy with a hug but they gave us a kiss too??? we won, I fear. tho, I won't lie, I half-cheered, half-cringed when the kiss happened bc of the age difference, I didn't think they'd be brave us to show us that onscreen.
P.S. I wonder if she'll still call him ajusshi at the altar 💀💀
P.P.S. After years of turning down the cream of the crop, you're telling me A-reum is gonna end up with Mr. Cardboard Personality??? where is this guy's rizz coming from?? 😭😭
