I’m reluctant to say this because I am one of SHS biggest fans and she has been in some of my ultimate favorite drama’s and I just truly love her…….. but I think there is a slight disconnect between what her role as Ban Ji Eum needed and what she is giving. ABH has nailed his role imo and makes it easy to connect his child character and adult character with his trauma, PTSD, guilt and yearning. But with Ban Ji Eum, it’s either the writer and directors fault for not writing her adult character more multi-dimensionally or SHS not portraying her more adult character multi-dimensionally. I’ve read many comments/reviews from people saying they prefer the child versions more and I think I am starting to understand why. The child actors are move favored because they carry the bulk of the emotional connection between our characters while adult Ban Ji Eum is essentially this almost chronically “nothing can phase me which means I am essentially the same no matter what circumstance or scene, where most of the feelings and emotions we feel are from the people she’s playing against. So we cry when she sees her mother, we cry when her sister has drinks with her and talks about missing her, we cry when Seo Ha is feeling absolutely devastated. It’s everyone AROUND her that we connect with and feel their feelings while with Ban Ji Eum we have yet to get to enough real depth and growth within her character to deeply connect with her. There are moments, but overrall it’s like every scene carries the same weight from her character so aren’t getting a wide enough array of depth from her. We get it, she lived 19 lives and her 18th was the one that was cut short and she felt she loved the most and the one she misses the most, but they’ve missed the mark with her character building and it makes me sad because I DO love this drama and I extreeeeeemely love SHS but I’ve been waiting to get “more” from her as we’ve gotten deeper into the episodes for this to become all it can be.

I hope we get that going forward.

What kind of Barbaric punishment !!!

“You just like his appearance, right? A man’s appearance can be delusional. It will make you stupid.”

The wise words of all Grandma’s 😂

The FL was not raised like anyone else. She was never taught the way others were taught. She simply was never given the skills so she is very very raw, green, unrefined. The entire point of her character is to show how she has incredible natural smarts, she’s quick, witty, improvises and figures out things others can’t but she works off of a very unrefined personality who has never been trained , she is at a disadvantage. She works purely off of heart and natural abilities.

So the point is that now that she has a master who see’s her and understands her she will grow. Her character requires patience to see her evolution.

First 6 episodes are so meh /bland. my struggle with modern Cdrama’s continues. sigh.

Agggghhh the pain of watching the FL be a good person in one drama (this) and a villain in another (The longest promise) simultaneously ….

maybe in the god realm she was really in love with the demon lord she releases from prison and maybe that demon lord was Ji Rouchen and maybe FY had a one sided romance and maybe we got an “alternate history” told from his point of view of him being madly in love with her while she deep down was in love with the demon lord she released….. I don’t know just trying to make sense of it all 😩

Am I crazy or this taking really long to come out compared to drama’s filmed at the same time? so many projects that Yang Se Jong would be absolutely amazing in yet nothing else seems to be on the horizon. Really confused about why he’s practically on pause post Military release 😿

the episode guide is incorrect. the show airs Mondays & Tuesdays.

Episodes 21 & 22 pick up again.

You could be right. I thought the guy pulling looked the new mystery guy and she (with a different face from her past life ) was the one being pulled. I would have to rewatch to see that it’s a different guy. I’m seeing lots of theories about who he is so he’s probably not the guy who was pulling.

I think he was in love with her in a past life. There was a scene where I think it was him pulling her in the wagon from the past life smiling like he was in love with her.

Same. Those bells immediately make me feel ill 😿

Do Yoons Dad is going to end up being the driver of the car they were in or somehow linked to the accident that killed her in her 18th life isn’t he 😩 that’s why they had they funeral the same day….. that’s why Do Yoon is so cold and why Seo Ha’s dad can control him.

I really hope I’m wrong 😿

Same. Going into a business competing with the biggest merchant in town selling a similar product is literally just asking for trouble. The Tea shop would have made more sense.

We are in a transition period in the story where we’ve gone from 2 episodes packed full of action and the plot moving forward to this transition of 4 episodes that yes, are very slowed down in contrast but they are establishing the deep deep bond between our main leads, the deep bonds of the Gu Family staff to the Gu Matriarch and the “start from scratch” scrappiness of our main leads who have now lost nearly everything and will claw themselves back to be in a position to battle the enemy. I think they could have edited it down from 4 episodes to 2 or 3 but I’m confident that now that we have passed through this transition and they are finally settled there will be forward progress again and things will start picking up again. GJS is going to win friends and loyalty while he climbs up the ranks and recreates the bonds he had before, LYR is going to establish her business and build back up the Gu Family business sector, they will help solve the problems in their new home city and shore themselves up to fight the Crown and their Half Brother enemy.

Buckle up! Our CP are about to have their comeback ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was imaginary sadly 😿😿😿😿

That was my first thought as well. It’s his mom ❤️❤️❤️❤️

What got me over his villain vibes from Itaewon class were his appearances on the Variety Show “I live alone” !

In real life he is the ultimate boyfriend material! He cooks, builds, does interior renovations to make his apartment look so lovely, he boxes and has a jeep all fitted out for camping and he’s a major camper. His relationship with his mom is sooooo cute and he’s so humble. Highly recommend you watch his episodes to fall in love with him in real life.
