i am willing to bring the refreshments as i am not qualified for any other role

i must've misread but it honestly doesnt matter

it is clear on this drama page that this drama has 16 episodes. i dont know who is thinking that it ends after 8 but what i was seeing was that there were other people that agree that this drama was weaker in the middle and that is why i was struggling to watch episode 8 and finish [the rest of the episodes of] the drama.

ive spent the past hour internally debating if i should watch episode 8 and finish the drama but i've ultimately decided not to. this drama was interesting when i first picked it up but as i think about it and even read spoiler comments about it, it seems like a drama full of poor planning and execution. probably would've benefited from having 4 less episodes to avoid the bad middle episodes

i have faith in them

another decent jdrama im going to miss out on watching because because there are no subs 😭

what was cringey? asking bc i am def not gonna pick this up if the first episode is already bad

woah thanks. i havent heard about a lot of these!

thats funny cause i also watched it at 14 but wasnt too fond of it. your taste probably wasn't bad though. like other commenters said, our liking of a drama and disliking of another has to do with many factors. people rate dramas based on their own rubrics and i feel like a lot of people when first getting into asian dramas rate them pretty well as our firsts are usually our favorites and seem completely different and beautiful compared to western shows a lot of us had been used to.

thinking about picking this up so i watched the first 2 episodes. does this get any less serious/more lighthearted?

i wish this show had more than 4 episodes because its so good, but i like how writers and producers are deviating from the classic 16 episode kdrama format to shorter formats that dont drag or have a lot of filler.

the drama actually sucks in literally everything its doing for the main couple, but everything else is fun and i like it.

i feel we arent watching the same drama

while i agree that this is probably the worst/harshest punishment for yeojin, i still dont think it shouldve been the punishment put in place because of how terribly its going to hurt the baby. the punishment should hurt yeojin directly, not her innocent child. I feel like i dont even need to get to all of the things that could happen to that baby. losing a child is terrible, but being human trafficked is objectively worse

didn't read it myself but i remember reading from other comments a couple weeks ago that taeyong (originally seungcheon) ends up with yeojin and they have a child. Not sure if 'taeyong' dies or ends up switching people again in the webtoon like in the drama. Also not sure if Juhee and seungcheon (originally taeyong) stay together.

1. so we know nara stole the life of yeojin, eventually leading to nara's death after her new dad couldnt afford treatment. we know that nara was kind of a shitty, manipulative, selfish person but HOW IN THE WORLD is proper punishment for that getting your INFANT CHILD HUMAN TRAFFICKED. her punishment could've been getting hit by a bus, getting sick or somehow left alone/poor for the rest of her life.. but what was justified in ruining the life of a baby? Not only will Yeojin (nara) suffer, but so will her father, husband and baby. and then the episode is just like "thats just what you get"......... !??!?!?!?!? also how did anyone in their mostly right mind think it was okay for nara's father to come work for the family?

i say there are multiple issues with the ending but this is really the only specific one i can think of. all other issues are issues with the drama as a whole and not the last episode in particular (insisting on the juhee x original seungcheon pairing, kdramaland's obsession with having a leading pairing stay together even when it doesnt make sense, small inconsistencies in the aspects of the golden spoon etc)

nonetheless, this drama has entertained me for a month and for that, there is merit to be found

This couldve been a 10/10 drama for me if it followed the webtoon a little closer. also, multiple issues i have with the ending-

honestly, yeojin doesn't deserve anyone.

that is so true now that you point it out. she's just a plot device. when she figures out that seungcheon switched places, i had assumed that it would be a whole deal for her for multiple reasons being
1. she loves her father and has an unjustified amount of tolerance for her other family members. Why would she be so understanding of Seungcheon that changed his?
2. shes been in a relationship with 2 different guys without knowing for over a decade. if that was me i think id have an identity crisis
3. seungcheon did shitty things while playing as taeyong, and juhee is not oblivious to this.
another tell of her quite literally just being a plot device is how she claims she 'liked the old seungcheon' and that 'he changed' when shes tries figuring out what happened to her feelings. this makes no sense. if anything, the difference between real seungcheon and taeyongs seungcheon is that taeyong's seungcheon is more sensitive and sympathetic........ so why in the world would she like 'seungcheon' less?
she spent 20+ years with the real taeyong and maybe 2 with the real seungcheon but reacted the way she did.... make it make sense.

they keep their initial appearances but everyone will recognize them differently.

Although this is how it works, i've also noticed that if one of them is visibly hurt (bruising for example) and they switch places, the bruising will stay on the person that was supposed to be hurt (so if "seungcheon" got a bruise on his face, whichever body is recognized as seungcheon will have the bruise, whether that be the real seungcheon or fake seungcheon (taeyong))
