so who is mother emma truly? is she the chairman's sister? his friend? kim mija's sister?she can't be the chairman's…
We don't know yet if it's biological, but she's a sister in some form, to Han Ji Yong's birth mother. Since she had close ties to his mother, she would obviously care for her son too.
I completely feel like an outsider because I truly can’t get into this drama I’ve tried a couple of times…
You're not alone. And although I don't know what your age is, I'm in my early twenties and I too feel like I'm not the target demo for this. It's so insanely childish. What put me off the most was probably Jeon Yeo Bin's lack of comedic presence.
I don't usually comment much but your feedback has compelled me to respond. I love what you wrote, absolutely…
I completely relate to you. I'm rather used to keeping my thoughts to myself when it comes to comments sections but I do enjoy reading what others think about something that I'm really enjoying and when I came to read comments here and in some other places it was such a mess that I felt compelled to write about it.
But thank you so much for replying, it really means a lot <3
For those who think people are just hating on Kang Ha Na and Esom: I've read countless comments here in MDL and elsewhere, and not once have I seen anyone criticizing Esom's acting. Learn to separate the actor from the character. You are allowed to dislike a character if their motivations and story arc don't agree with you. As for people saying that "Kang Ha Na haters" are Go Eun shippers, please stop. Can we please just enjoy the drama without getting embroiled in shipping wars? The entire message of this drama is being lost on you!
For those who think Kang Ha Na is a useless character: you're wrong. She plays an incredibly important role in the drama without which this show would probably be classified as outright fantasy (not saying that there aren't any plotholes right now). Ha Na's character grounds the show, it's important to highlight the duality between what justice means and how it's being dealt by two different systems. Sure, it's frustrating to see Ha Na always ending up with the short end of the stick, but this is how the judicial system generally is. The entire premise of this drama is righting the wrongs that the law failed to do, this is why there's need for vigilante justice in the first place! We can argue forever on how effective or ethical this is but it goes without saying, the Rainbow Taxi team gets way more done than the law ever could.
To conclude, yes, it's annoying to see Kang Ha Na always go after the Rainbow Taxi team, and yes, she's just doing her job, but she's terrible at it. I could list down every single instance where she fails in basic judgment and instead just acts upon her own emotions and stubbornness, instead of logical reasoning, just so she can fit the bill of the strong, no nonsense female archetype, but it's a failed attempt. And I wouldn't really expect too much in terms of the accuracy of this writing because once again, this drama is written by a man, something to consider when looking at all the female characters in this story.
Lastly, yes, Ha Na is ironically useless, a fact she acknowledges herself in episode nine and we see her crossing over to the other side for a bit before her superior drags her right back by telling her to take a compliment when she gets it. But she also has her moments such as that one time in episode 6 where she found someone vital to the investigation before the Rainbow Team. This is another highlight of the duality of the two forces that are at odds here. So please just sit back and enjoy the show, all its lessons and the hard work that everyone put into it.
Can we talk about SML's nose please. His nose deserves a special recognition, on top of his on point acting, charisma…
We should just talk about the man himself, he's gorgeous, and he's out to steal everyone's hearts with that gaze of his. Even dragon king comes second to his intense stare.

It was crazy and it didn't hold back on the punches. Still recovering from the experience of it!
