but the original ghost plot is bc of inheritance and chaebols, so we are going full circle here, to solve the beginning ghost case

MH'smom is a chaebol so she and her $$$$$ is above all rules and of course will know who got the heart of her son

There is some investigation, solving ghosts' crimes. It is on back burner right now but it is still there

MH is a villain

rewatch or watch older dramas
the wait gives you time to DIGEST, gives time for discussions and creating a buzz, and time to advertise :) Also gives them time to film the drama as it goes, based on audience feedback

and overall leads to more quality rather than sheer quantity like in cdramas which honestly... cannot compare

yeah we saw his true colors long time ago, when he fired the employees. He is CRUEL HEARTLESS well camouflaged poisonous snake

but we saw it. The matching ring scene with his bro, ep ... 7?

He is just smarter and thus better camouflaged than her, but both are nasty

I love this ML character. so lively, so refreshing

Well what else to expect? Kdramas are raking money globally, so there is a huge rush to produce SOMETHING and all the foreigners are on it, making Kwood
and bc of foreigners meddling, plus the short verticals destroying attention span, now so many dramas are 8-12 eps, which means that every 4 to 6 weeks you gotta have a "unique" new drama - instead of 8 weeks before

SO YOU GOTTA PRODUCE ALMOST TWICE AS MANY NEW DRAMAS

i.e. you have to produce MORE DRAMAS, and in a rush so of course... they are gonna just keep recycling, use AI to write the script, use some cheap fast writers, etc

Plus kissing as@ of western audience, used to Hwood -

THE QUALITY DEFINITELY GOES DOWN

Robin Hood, Vincenzo, this ... are very popular. WHY? bc they address solutions to the failed systems of real life. It is a testimony that our entire societal structure is failed

It is basically saying: the structure of governance and living in real life is SO BAD that we welcome someone solving the problems - in ANY way

bc the drama addresses solutions to the failed systems of real life

Someone corrected me, it was a quick peck on the cheek... and the girl immediately pulled back and sat further away...

So if that sends you into a fit of honophobia then.. you are hopeless case of homophobia.
Or just the idea of two females romantically liking each other? Well ... that kind of stuff has been around FOREVER and there is nothing anyone can do about it. It is just THERE. At least it is better for everyone that it be out in the open instead of forcing them to hide it and cause zillion problems for everyone. You dont want to run into a closeted guy and marry them, causing pain to yourself and them, do you. Think of it that way.

Ok I also thought it was on the cheek but just to be on the safe side, I wrote lips, in case I did not remember it correctly. But the feeling was not normal. That peck was fast and very .... without any feeling or stickiness, MS quickly pulled back and sat far away - she was intentionally making that quick peck be easy to be ignored and forgotten

- but ... the kiss was definitely a romantic invitation, saying - "I like you and I want you as my lover"

and the fast rather neutral action with quick retreat was saying ",and I am just letting you know in this rather "neutral" way to leave space for you in case you dont want it, esp since both of us are girls, and we are neighbors and schoolmates and will have to see each other a lot, so if you say no to this, no big deal".

So yeah one peck on the cheek is enough to send a hateful person into hate.

Yeah that was hilarious, that she was fed up so much and so busy to run back and revenge that she left the money lmao That one small but significant detail conjures the intensity, the power and "size" of the snowball avalanche that is starting to knock people off one by one. She was first....

The brilliance of the script and filming is reflected in that ONE SMALL DETAIL that speaks volumes about the plot and characters. This drama has many such small significant details and that is its charm and its brilliance

It felt so cheesy unnatural yet made sense that ML and the main villain were communicating so well at the end - they both were portrayed as basically similar, poker faced schemers.

But the villain was an affectionate loving husband, and ML stayed poker faced distant cold closed off with his wife too

Such a waste of drama time

I dont see any character growth in any of the characters, despite the ordeal they went through. What a waste of plot.
Also what is that cheesy soap at the end - grabbing a knife to save a villain's life???? - and did he lose ability to do surgery bc of it, or did he choose to stop doing surgery... ????

Quoting another post: "the acting felt very acted out (I could not feel the emotions of a lot of the characters, they did not feel genuine)." Yeah. Characters felt isolated from each other. Like the whole drama was filmed in vacuum and outer space, with half frozen characters.... The plot made it worse

The main villain was a great husband.
ML was a great bodyguard to his wife. Not a loving partner. He never planned to talk and relate to his wife and kept secrets to the very end. That last walk in the woods is a good "poster" for the alternate title of this drama, "Completing Marriage" - by a peaceful divorce, so they stay on friendly terms. Both of them are immature and cemented and unsuitable partners. This huge ordeal they went through did NOT make them grow up one little bit. Such a waste of plot.

Really sad that this drama was such a waste of time. It had potential. The three villains were great in their roles. The wife was great in her role, as she was supposed to be immature and rather stupid, rash and distant. ML, Dr Cha, policeman .... were... "unfinished characters", the script made them .... hard to believe

yes it is peaceful but has no romantic feel at all
They look like friends who peacefully completed their marriage and moved on

there was nothing romantic between them
