Oh, I didn't notice the director was the same! Yes, now that makes sense. Also, both are TvN, so I'm sure that helps with crossover stuff, though the music directors are different. Both dramas have the best of the best in terms of music directors/composers, though (Nam Hye Seung and Park Sejun). 😊
And it looks like our wire-tapper/North Korean eavesdropper from CLOY will be falling for our crazy aunt Beom Ja. 🤞
I thought it was kind of heartbreaking the way she asked Hyun Woo where he must have met his mistress. She's so used to her husbands cheating on her with other women, that she couldn't fathom another reason why he'd want a divorce. Her husbands probably just wanted her money. 🥺
Now, she IS kind of nuts and a wild hair, but apparently she didn't fall for guys who were of enough quality stuff to see past the crazy to find the gem underneath. Poor thing!
just the sudden twist and him bringing her family in that white van to live in the countryside I died lmao I need…
Never seen anything like this twist in a Kdrama. So curious to see how it pans out! (And to all those who say this is a makjang, a makjang would never pull THIS kind of plot twist on the audience (of sending the Queens family to the country 😂); I still think this genre is more like satirical makjang writing).
The screenwriter's using so many tropes and cliches but then somehow still does things we've never seen with them before.
Like Hyun Woo, for instance; he is the most ML of MLs in the way he's portrayed. He's smart, cares for the FL more than himself and willing to to go to Hell and back for her, handsome and we know he is/will be good at fighting (he's checking all the boxes for ML cliches of a "perfect man"), and yet he feels like a fresh take on an ML at the same time because he's clearly not perfect while still being perfect. 😅 This way we can root for him but be interested in his arc because he still has so much room for growth (as a person and in his relationship with Hae In). He's not a character we've seen in Kdrama before, but at the same time, he is.
Got to hand it to Park Ji Eun; she knows how to set trends in Kdrama writing!
I'm surprised by the low number of watchers for this on MDL, considering how much I've heard people rave about this sageuk for years as one of the best sageuks of all time (alongside Moon Lovers, of course, which I don't ever think I can bring myself to watch). Curious! I wish it was on Viki so I could finally try it for myself (I don't do unofficial streaming sites). 😔
I haven't caught up yet to the most recent episodes, but from what I'm seeing people say about him, it sounds like he's playing a similar character to his role in Vincenzo? Annoying and problematic, but ultimately pretty sympathetic once you know more of his story. Now that I think about it, The actor for Soo Cheol, like Soo Kim.Hyun, tends to pick strong dramas with good scripts.
Yes. It gets better.I was actually not interested in the fight scenes in the beginning of this show as I thought…
Oh yes, I know that, but some dramas with just bromance seem to still have undertones of romantic tension (like Devil Judge or The Untamed between the MLs) and I was wondering if this drama was like those or not. :)
There are actually a lot of crossovers in this with, and references to, CLOY, Vincenzo and IOTNBO.

Just more evidence that Grandpa Hong's in denial about a lot of things...
