Good Grief

I translate it as “who the fuck are you?”

It has no romance, is mostly political, and has a villainous male lead... the crowd here only loves fluffy, cookie-cutter rom-coms. Smh. 🙄

Seems like FL will be more involved in ML’s affairs which is good for the future romance but also brings a lot of danger with it. We’ve seen examples that close aides/servants of noble people get killed/sold off/exiled.

Yeah, I think that’s about what happens. I think he has very strong suspicions that she’s his former fiancé and he’s jealous of the scholar dude and doesn’t want her to anyone but himself. So she’s not going to be too thrilled at first, obviously with the slap, but love will come later, especially when he reveals that he knows who she really is. With 47 episodes no one is expecting romance until at least the halfway mark.

It's in one of those trailers. She even slapped him right on the spot as soon as the veil was lifted.

Our man pulled similarly ridiculous move in the book too. haha

So the spoiler is that her parents find her a nice young man to marry (he looks like he falls into the "poor" scholar category, lots of potential but not from a noble background obviously). ML suspects that she's his former fiancee and even tho his parents are trying to get him to marry the Duke's daughter, he goes behind their back to the emperor and uses his military merits to get him to decree a marriage between him and the FL. She, rightfully so, is pissed about the whole thing. And since it's an imperial decree, she can't deny the marriage.

Minglan is my most rewatched drama (like 10+ times easily by now). I'm happy to see something similar coming out especially in current market trend. I'm enjoying this a lot so far.

lee jun hyuk making hot-lookin cool, once again.....he is so hot but also ordinary at the same time....such a feast for the eyes 😍😍😍😍😍😍

A girl named Byeon Jeong-hee takes a night-shift job at a convenience store because the pay is ridiculously high. The store is known as a haunted place, and before starting work, she’s given a list of strange rules by the manager she has to follow.

For example, if the automatic doors open by themselves at 2 a.m., she’s not supposed to panic even if nobody is there. If something that isn’t human comes into the area behind the counter, she has to use the weapons kept in the store to drive it away. Never look at the windows or mirrors in the bathroom. If no customer comes for more than 40 minutes, she has to leave the store because it's an emergency. Basically, she has to follow all these weird rules if she wants to survive the night.

After dealing with non-human entities one after another, Jeong-hee catches her breath upon meeting a fellow part-timer, but the life-or-death battle over the hidden operating principles begins only then.

The interesting part is that she doesn’t just quit because she needs the money. The story uses the horror to show how desperate people can become when they need a job badly enough to accept dangerous working conditions.

Why are romcom lovers pissing on MIK in the comment section here😒. The love of Oppas can’t make you intelligent for sure. If your oppa has decided to star in a historical/period fiction piece and it’s indigestible to your sensibilities, don’t watch it. Wait for Oppa to get cast in a romcom to play a green flag who lets an aegyo-ing insufferable botoxed to the high heavens middle aged female lead troll the guy for 16 episodes. Wait for Oppa to come back to the genre.

Don’t come here and be a pissy 12 year old just cos the darkness of the source material for this story is making you uncomfortable. Jesus! MDL crowd can be a little juvenile in their lack of understanding of genres. I mean feel free to hate watch. But be a little intelligent about it. This show is not for intellectually juvenile or pop culture guzzling folks. It can’t be dumbed down for your sensibilities. History is dark. It’s not gonna suddenly give you a “black and white, saviour saves the day and bad guys loose, cos ironman showed up and justice was served” narrative. Some stories will supply that moral ease of good winning over evil. Some won’t. MIK is not trying to show good vs. evil. The underlying theme is motivations of humans who vie for nothing but unbridled power. And how power is the only currency. That’s the writer’s and show creator’s choice. Life on earth has never worked in a straight forward black and white way. Since the beginning of time. Otherwise Adam and Eve mythology would have just ended on them getting banished from the heavens.

Make sure you have another job lined up first. Job market is too rough right now to chance it after you quit. I'm sure you're already aware tho. Anyway, wish you luck.

i have experienced both being corporate worker and unemployed after quitting. i would recommend not being born.

She's beautiful

She's talented, I wonder why she's not bagging more Main lead roles. I've watched almost all of her works and she's just really good at portraying psycho characters, she gives the right kind of eerie vibe. Love her!
I want to see more projects of her, less psycho I guess lol I think she'll also do good in a Romcom drama, I've seen her do variety shows and she had that humour.

Buying a house/condo and renting seems the best. If you can buy a building for 3bil won, then you can buy a condo for 1.3bil and then milk monthly income

There is a book Your Money or Your Life by ... a guy and Vicky Dominigues, I think that talks how to invest and retire
