Naebyeol

that’s how his character is supposed to be. plus it’s easy to tell it’s a facade he puts on. that nonchalant care free immature chaebol act. That part was evident when his brother spoke to him about their dad’s election. plus the fact that he got a lawyer license because he was bored. like who does that

FL's actions in ep4 were logically illogical! Let me explain (excuse the lengthy write up)

Devil's advocate plea.
1. Given the situation she's in it's expected for her to be a bit irrational and not be able to think straight. Her uncle died a few days ago and she's now finding out her uncle was running a shop for mercenaries. That info hasn't even sunk in yet. She hasn't even grieved his death and already she's thrusted into a world she never knew existed.

2. Her only source of "familiarity" is BJM. I'm using this word very loosely cause they've not seen each other since middle school ( he mentioned it when they first met and she never recognized him). Plus their relationship dynamic isn't even a friendship cause from that flashback we got of her being bullied, it looked like they never spoke once until that incident when he offered her help.

3. THEY'RE PEOPLE TRYING TO KILL HER! Of course, she's not going to be the best judge of character in this situation. She's being introduced to 2 new people whose existence was nonexistent till that point. Her life is at stake so her guard is going to be up and naturally a person will look for something familiar in that chaos. It just so happens that her "comfort" (again using this word very loosely) is that snake BJM.

On the flip side of things her illogical behavior

1. She knows the type of person her uncle is. Standing on that my first question would be how did he die so easily? And by suicide at that?

2. BJM was the last person to see him alive and also conveniently found him dead. That screams SUSPICIOUS to me (blame my love of true crime shows lol).

3. She's being helped by someone who referred to her uncle endearingly. This should let her question what his relationship was with that person and her next question should be why would someone trying to kill you risk their life to save yours?

4. The basement code i her student ID number( a hard-to-know passcode btw). If she was only able to get down to the basement cause of a memory she had, how else would someone get down there if her uncle didn't let them in? This is a golden question which on her part I thought was dumb but won't hold her her mind isn't going to think straight in a moment where she has to act quickly and on instincts he doesn't have.

5. I get her being surprised at the double life her uncle had. But at the same time, he left her clues and was preparing her. Bulletproof everything, school ID number, chip in her arm, people her problems magically disappearing (the situation with her boss, the bullies, and the creepy dude that was mentioned). He gave her a map she didn't know how to unlock.

6. A stranger knows specific details about her (MinHye). The calling of her uncle's name into the sky, 3 times won't be something he'll disclose to every Tom Dick or Harry. That's between them 2 and if some third party mentioned that to me, I'd feel a bit more trusting cause the person does know me.

Overall Jeong Jian is doing the best she can in a crappy situation. She WILL make many dumb choices * cough cough* BJM. The writer already gave us a clue to his evilness and when she took him down his comment hit the nail in the coffin. But we have to trust our Jeong Jian to deal with that sleaze bag when he wakes up. Also pressing that file recording ...I don't care if your bosom buddy ay no you press it and risk the chance of being blown up.

when is season 2 being released?

same here and I’m dying without soap a sponge toothpaste paste and a tooth brush

me too

I could never survive a minute there

exactly!
so this was a major problem. and like in this drama she was supposed to marry the guy and he died in the way to the wedding. In todays world that wedding is automatically called off and she’s single. She has no obligations to the man’s family whatsoever but they still married her off to a ghost to do what!? Serve his family? And it makes no sense to me even if that was the custom to get a DIL if you ain’t got no son. They really are something else. The sister telling her she should’ve died with her brother that’s foul this girl didn’t even know who he is. And then to mourn a man she never met for 12 damn years plus “love” him excuse my language but that’s bullshit!

so in the WEBTOON JiWon’s mom had an affair and left her we get told this when Soo Min “accidentally” spills it. Ji Won’s mother left her dad for Soo Min’s dad and JiWon and hates her for that plus she’s jealous of how JuWon’s dad loved her and treated her so lovingly because she’d invited her over once and SooMin saw their dynamic. Honestly it’s just wild and bunkers to hate her over something she has no control over

Honeslty customs back then were just horrifying especially for women. Because a man was free to remarry but a woman couldn’t. And like you said societal pressure would cause the widow to do what was “obliged” of her cause she had no choice. It was either go down this path and be “honoured” as a dedicated wife/daughter in law or be shunned by your family and society

Although I read the WEBTOON and already know how much of a bitch Soo Min was….it still gets on my nerves seeing her in the drama now. Her sole life purpose is to destroy JiWon (won’t spoil why she was doing that). But later when it’s revealed I know it still won’t make sense as to what kind of mental deranged state a person has to be in to do that.

if you read the WEBTOON we find out early that he also went back in time along with her. So they’re actual right on time with revealing his secret as well. cause he was giving clues in the beginning. the only part that takes it’s time in unveiling itself is how JiWon gives Soo Min the fate she was supo to have

I’d rather time travel and be a man instead of a woman. Cause women never had it easy back then. And even if I time traveled back as a man I’d want it to be a man born into a wealthy powerful family cause if you were poor back then as a man even if you had it somewhat easier than a woman power really mattered

Exactly. They intentionally encourage or arranged marriages knowing that she’s trapped and can’t escape so they get to have someone do all the dirty work for them. The other side to this was marrying them off to men who were already sick and had been given their death card. So this innocent gullible woman marries him and he either dies in the wedding day or the week after. Then she gets labeled as a witch or someone with bad luck.m for killing her haiband right after marriage? Knowing full well they married off a dead man yet they act like they didn’t know he was sick

That I know all too well. I’m west African (Ghanaian). I’ve heard stories of things women whose husbands died had to go through and it ain’t pretty

I just can’t understand this tradition
staying chaste and mourning a husband you never met?😳😳I come from a culture that has the woman mourn her husband for at least 3 years but this is some next level mourning.

And yes I’ve watched countless dramas with women in mourning but that MIL is next level😮‍💨

well the first girl it took me a couple of weeks the other one who really hid her intentions and I considered my sister it took me 10 years. And I think part of the reason I didn’t realize it sooner was cause I didn’t want to believe she wasn’t the person I grew up with and knew my whole life if that makes sense. Alrhough I did sense something was off I ignored it cause I kept telling myself she’s not that type of person

Jung Soo Min is the “best friend” we all should run fast and far away from.

I know what JiWon feels cause I had a 2 “best friends” whose favorite past time was gossiping and spreading lies. The funny thing is one presented herself to me as the innocent person while the other I knew what she was doing. I was so shocked when I discovered both of them had tag teamed.

they’re basing it off the WEBTOON so they’ll pretty much stick to the original outline and just make a few tweaks here and there. Cause I’ve read the WEBTOON and ep 1 was basically what transpired in the beginning of the WEBTOON. Although it does go more in depth but ultimately they can’t do that since it’s only 16 eps but they still got it right

Hope not. I’ve started loosing faith in these writers this year I’ve seen a few kdramas with endings that was a curve ball thrown

These two didn’t die and end up together just to be killed again!!!!

her sister could’ve helped him
