Got all tied up in this really in the end for the family dynamic - when the FL and the spoilt rich kid ran away and abandoned the family she 'loved' so much ... Dropped
Meh! Failed to interest me, didn't like the music and not a fan of the acting or the writing I saw. maybe it picks up but the hook didn't pull me in enough to find out.
I'm having to chain myself to the desk in order not to punch the monitor as I crawl through the sordid workings of Chaebol families (in dramaland only I hope..) and I'm skipping through most of them. All the different machinations of these terribly unpleasant people also have the disadvantage of being tedious. Unlikeable person A is being a shit to unlikeable person B over unconvincing business deal C - whilst person with personality disorder B just causes random trauma to anyone close. There you go that's a synopsis of most of the plot. Still I keep watching in the hope that nice girl A who is shat on by all and sundry will deal some serious revenge out at some point.
Well goodness me I'm quite impressed that they managed to fit quite so many unlikeable characters in so far - I'm only on episode 24... I'm having to skip most of the brothers scenes as he's such a knob I'm scared I'm going to pop an artery.
Started OK but by ep 40 or so I realised that I was just skipping through scenes. Didn't like either of the MLs though the 2nd was at least interesting. Didn't like that both MLs basically harassed the FL. Mainly though I just got bored, dropped.
I'm struggling with this. I'm not a fan of mature/adult dramas if that is represented by sex rather than behaviour - I like unrealistic drama just fine. Still I am fond of Noona romances, the actors and Rom Coms in general.
Two things are spoiling it for me, the general attitude towards women being shown for one. The second and the real bugbear is the whole starting with a rape thing. I mean I tried not to pay too much attention - it's a drama, it's dated etc. yet they keep bringing it up.
He banged a terribly upset woman he'd known all his life because she was paralytic. Drunk to the point she has no memory of it, not the act, not whether contraception was used - nothing. She couldn't even recognise him!
AND HE WAS SOBER
Unconscious people can't consent - no consent is rape - no buts, no excuses it's rape. I mean both of you drunk is one thing but still they have to be awake and able to recognise you!
Started this for Bit Ha Na and the joy of Makjang - but it just didn't grab me. I found I was skipping more than I was watching waiting for the hook to bite. Unappealing characters left me uninterested in their fate. Dropped
Finished it and thoroughly enjoyed it (plenty of skipping through the sub plots helps) just about every makjang element you could wish for. I'm now a diehard Lee Yoo Ri fan she's like a little Stepford Wife on crack.
I actually enjoyed this more the second time around. No the best at all but nice warm hearted fun with loads of cute kids. I enjoyed the bickering leads enough to laugh out loud at a couple of points.
In the end I just hated the ML so much I couldn't finish it . Spoilt, selfish, stalker fuck wit hated him and all my love Geum Soon went when she accepted him - just no. Shame as I was thoroughly enjoying it till the last few. What is the delight in 'handsome' rich man children? I just don't get it at all but they appear so often.
Well that was suitably bonkers - slow start but warms up nicely before dissolving into over the top nonsense. The last episode was surreal. Skip the boring bits and revel in the crazy bits. Didn't really like the ML which is a shame, as the other main characters were great.

He even believed she was dying of cancer....
I don't know if I can keep watching.

Only half way too!
