Crazy how different the female lead looks with each makeover, she looks like a complete different person

Ikr! I was very surprised too

Oh wow I'm shocked that the evil friend is the same actress from Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita, she's all grown up now and feels so different here like it's unexpected to see her play a villainous role like this but she's doing great

Yeah no, once again we have very different views on this and you're reading way too much into what I said. I never thought the meetup had ill intentions behind it, that's the last thing I thought because I know the male lead is not that kind of person. All I'm saying is that I don't get why the writers put that in because of reasons I already mentioned above and I'm just surprised I'm the only one who felt weird about it. And no I don't think the same that this is what the writers were waiting for neither do I agree with everything else you wrote. This is all I will say, goodbye.

Hani's mom. I think she's a terrible person for what she's done but she did come back for Hani and I think that's what's most important. I don't think it was right from Beom Soo to ban her from seeing her own child and essentially wanting to raise Hani without acknowledging her birth mother. The only person who has a say in this is Hani but she's too young for it now. Grown up Hani could blame her dad for making this decision, we will never know. But I think her mom has the right to stay in her life even after what she's done. I'm glad Seri eventually opened up to her.

The main leads relationship. Like many others, I too felt like the romance was very forced. It felt one-sided from the chairman's side. Kwang Sook seemed to care most about the brewery and her in-laws so their romance never felt convincing. Really not sure what exactly went wrong here, I want to say it's a combination of the script and how the actress carried herself.

The pregnancy wish. Well this one was just awful. What was up with the forced pregnancy? Just terrible. No idea what the writers were even thinking. Kwang Sook seemed unwilling from the start but the chairman kept pushing and then even used his one wish to force her into giving in. If this wasn't fictional I would've proposed a divorce right there and then.

Victimizing Seri's dad. I couldn't take any of these scenes serious like are you kidding. Why are we feeling sad for the guy who deserves it? I genuinely did not think it would go in this direction and it's kinda crazy that it did. He'd been nothing but a terrible person throughout the whole show. Seri and her mom mourning like that was so unbelievable to watch. The writing took such a dip at the end it's like they just gave up.

Overall rating for this show would probably be a 7/10 for me. I had fun but also think a lot of things could've been handled better, especially at the end. I won't be addressing all of it but just want to share some things that had been on my mind.

A beautiful short film handled with a lot of care, just so lovely that it made me cry a few times. The lead actress also did an amazing job, will definitely be checking out more of her work.

This picture doesn’t do her justice

Episode 7's extra scene is fun, the one that's worth watching. Everything else is just okay.

I loved it and binged the first half. Started skimming through the last half though because it felt a bit too long. Would still highly recommend because it's a very fun and memorable family drama worth the time!

My comment was more aimed at the discussion that started below. There's too little known about the movie right now to make a judgement on the details.
Edit: I see that the article does describe her hair as "curly" so it's not irrelevant after all

Well ridiculing someone for their natural born features is never okay, even if those features don't fit a country's beauty standards. Idc if they think it's unattractive just don't assign negative stereotypes to them in movies and shows because millions of people are born that way. I'm not going to continue this discussion so goodbye.

Idk if I'd call it racist but it's true that South Korea has a track record of deeming curly hair as unattractive in their media. Not sure if that's what this movie is aiming at but it's the first thing I thought of too when I read the plot. You'd think it's an outdated trope but it's unfortunately still very much relevant. The ongoing kdrama I'm currently watching (Five Eagle Brothers) also has a supporting character with curls who was considered unattractive at the start but later had a glow up with straight hair. It's ridiculous honestly. Hope this movie does not have that sort of message.

Whoa new Park Changwook movie and look at this cast!!

Would you still have disliked the movie if there were no sexual scenes? Just curious cuz your criticism is valid but outside of that I think it's still a great revenge movie in itself

It's giving The Handmaiden

I know it's probably impossible to think of anything optimistic while you're feeling this way but I do want to give my 2 cents. I don't even know you but I still believe you are so much more worth than you think you are. Life is something that was handed down to all of us and everyone is just trying to survive in different ways. Mindset alone can take you so far and the only person that controls that mindset is yourself. If you believe you're worthless then you'll always see yourself as that. But if deep down you don't want to then you can change that. Be kinder to yourself and take steps to work on what is getting in your way of happiness. I believe anyone is capable of doing so, I've been there myself

I'm too lazy to edit it but the screenwriter is not just Steven Maeda, several people have worked on it. The person who deserves the most credits however is Matt Owens. Without him the live action would not have been a success like it is. We have to give credit where credit's due. Sad that he isn't part of the team anymore. Edit: I've added him :)

Right, it's the most jdrama coded kdrama I've seen and that's a compliment. Can't think of anything else like it among kdramas

Yeah I'm in the minority that never cared for the ML, I was waiting for it to happen but it never did so I wish I had lowered my expectations for him back then. It's an amazing drama either way!
