Episode 3He is cleaning her back wounds and say the they are close. They are inseparable. He knows that she doesn’t really want to kill him. We find out he was not the killer of the Dong Family but he doesn’t know who they were. Sound like that man she really likes is the one who killed her family but they were disguised as servants of the family and pretended to be dead when the authorities arrived. Fang Yu Ze knows which is the fake sister as the real sister knew the family treasure was a tortoise. Now he is manipulating both sisters. He marry the sister to inherit the Dong family properties. Bit of tricky episode. She thinks that she is in the clear now that she has found the pendant her dad gave her.

Episode 2Her sister pushed her down the stairs and now she has lost her memory. The Governor has claimed her as his woman. Chen Fang Tong/ Dong Ting Yao is the maid and Governor says he loves her especially when his mother wants him to marry his fiancee whom he has been engaged to for 2 years. He said that she wasn’t his choice but his mothers. She wants to make a family alliance with the family for financial and social reasons. Dong Ting Yao hasn’t lost her memory as I thought but she is using it to spy around the mansion. He knows that she pretended to lose her memory. When she finds a gun and tries to shoot him. Her real fiancé (Vincent Wei/Fang Yu Ze)is very affectionate to her. It is actually suspicion to me. The Governor gave her a new name Muti which means “ a lad would like to woo a lass with nice pretty looks.” Her sister is jealous. She plants poison in her room and she says she was going to poison the Governor. Lucky he turns up before they beat her to death. Now he is saying she should marry him.

Review : Maid's Revenge (2022) - 27/03/2023I want to watch this but unfortunately it has 30 episode. I don’t know if I can handle that length. The first episode is really lovely setting the scene of what is to come. Although it did start with the family massacre in the beginning. Funnily I like the Governor Dai Gao Zheng /Fang Tian Yi who is the main actor. He has an attractive dangerous kind of sexy vibe. I get the idea from this first episode that he is suppose to be the villain. It is hooking me in.

Episode 16: The FinaleHow are they going to fit it all in. So that we are satisfied with the outcome. Hope it doesn’t end on a cliff-hangerThat fight is so brutal I had to stop it in the middle of it to take a break. Ou hero was getting wasted. Oh! Too much for our Lee Joon Gi. I can’t handle seeing him hit like that even though it’s all acting. Back to it now I have got my breath back.It is a series that make you think about our society in general (world wide ). Democracy for example. It makes us questions the choices that we choose for the Leadership of our country. What are their intentions, goals and values. Are they righteously leading our people in a wholesome, highly valued, exemplary and fulfilling future? Can we be sure the our up and coming generation are going to help our country have a prosperous, comfortable and peaceful future? That is up to us to decide for everyone of us. It’s the choices that we make as individuals that decide on what the future is going to be like. Do we choose peace or chaos.I totally love this series but the ending well gave us food for though.

Episode 15:I’m going straight to subs this timeSo the back story of Han Ji-hyun and her brother Dr K has surfaced. Cha Tae Seob saved their lives in the orphanage after his minion Kim Jin-woo had set on fire. She hears him disciplining his secretary. Dr K lost his memory after the fire. I can see her being conflicted after these events. Kim Jin-woo seems even more ruthless than Cha Tae Soeb.It seems so unfair that Hee-woo is being sent to another precinct after he worked so hard. He really is the one that had Jeon Seok-gyu promotes ton Chief Prosecutor. Has Jeon Seok-gyu really let go of his principles to serve Cha Tae Seob. I feel for Hee-woo. I just wonder what is going to happen next and will his plans really work.So Jeon Seok-gyu was taking the heat off Hee-woo. So Hee-woo wouldn’t suffer but Cha Tae Seob is pitting them against each other.I’m getting scared for Hee-woo now. He is making contact with the girl Cha Tae Seob set up to take him down. So interesting. He knows her from his previous life and sees her as a criminal but acts like she is turning him on.Sang-man is too innocent and he’s not listening to Hee-woo he better not get killed…..Oh! No. Please writers but I see the way this is headed………..Hee-woo goes and lays all his cards out on the table to Cha Tae Send. My heart is beating so fast for my worry for Hee-woo. Is he really going to provoke him that much. Oooo- It’s scary. Laughing at Cha Tae Seob like that is going to make him so mad. Next episode is going to be a doozy.Now Cha Tae Seob is threatening him with Sang-man. Getting so tense this K-drama but it is so good. Sang-man is too foolish and trusting. He still didn’t listen to Hee-woo and left the premises. Now his life is at stake. He stays true to the end. It is going to break Kim Hee-woo’s heart but this is the threat of Cha Tae Seob to bring Hee-woo in line. Hee-woo already knew that he was walking in the swamp and one step and he could sink in the mire of rooting corpses.His old arrogance of the past was creeping up on him and Hee-woo was getting too confident. He forgot how tenacious his prey is and how deeply corrupt and dishonest these people who he is dealing with are? Writers surely Sang-man couldn’t survive a fall like that. It is unrealistic, but of course this is fantasy fiction. Anything can and does happen.Cha Tae Seob is separating him from all of he close relationships. So that Hee-woo will feel of Cha Tae Seob power and experience ineptitude to combat Cha Tae Seob. Cha Tae Seob is sending him a message and making and example of him to tell him that he Cha Tae Seob is an assemblyman to be feared. Cha Tae Seob thinks the this fear will turn into respect.Yes it hurts him for a second but Hee-woo sees it as a challenge and takes up the gauntlet.It is so good Lee Joon Gi. You are so awesome with your acting and fighting.

Episode 14 :Sorry but I have to abandon Viki.com and it slow uptake on the subs. I just want to know what was really happening as my Korean is miniscule. So I’m counting on drama cool for the full subsHee-woo has his is work cut out keeping all his Buddies going in the same direction. He has got the help of Kim Gyu Ri to investigate crimes that have been covered up. Then there is Hee-Ah working at Cheonha and Han-mi reporting the abandoned child angle. Sang-man buying up shares and companies.Hee-woo persona is so completely different to his first life and he uses tactics and strategies to eliminate the evil doers making completely sure that he has accumulated all of the evidence first and that it doesn’t fail him. So different to his totally arrogant approach the first time.What about that Lee Min-soo though. Is he really going to go head to head with Hee-woo. I though that he was a bit smarmy in the beginning with his pushy ways but he is a person that is hard to read. He could just keeping his cards close to his chest but we will see what will happen. Jeon Seok-gyu is in a quandary as what he is going to do.So it appears Hee-woo’s close friends are being roped in by Cha Tae Seob. Will they be able to remain straight and righteous under the pressure and thumb of Cha Tae Seob.Hee-woo goes to Kim Han-mi to give her support after she outed her dad. Her and her mum had been under pressure from her dad since he split up from them and put all kinds of obstacles in their way to stop them being comfortable in their community. She tells him Hee-woo not to pity her. I know she has feelings for Hee-woo which was part of the motives to do what she did. His feelings for her is as a friend but I feel that he did manipulate her for his own causes..Jeon Seok-gyu whom Hee-woo primed for this position of Head of this Department has met with Cha Tae Seob will he let go of his principles and become greedy. It’s really interesting to watch him mull over his decisions. He is getting abrupt with his lower prosecutors in his office.Cha Tae Seob wants him to abandon his principles and become his new dog…Lol I hate that term.Cha Tae Seob has found a sexy woman to seduce Hee-woo I wonder how that is going to turn out. he thinks that this will leash him. Like he's a puppy.Oh no! I hope Sang-man doesn’t die. One of Hee-woo’s weaknesses. It's all piling up on Hee-woo only two episodes to go. Can he handle it?This series just gets better and better.

Episode 13: UpdatedI actually enjoyed watching the fight without subs. There was not distractions but Dr K got away so the will get to fight again on another day….scary thought. It was revealing to see Hee-woo’s thoughts and matched with his actions.He is the double double-crosser. Is Hee-woo going to survive this drama? It is so intense. He is playing such a dangerous game. Is it a game of pass the parcel. To get to the truth the evidence has to be passed round and round.Is Hee-woo about to buy JQ Construction? Interesting side story with Kim Hee-ah bodyguard now both her and Kim Hee-woo are playing Cha Tae Seob. They are both going to be in danger. Can her bodyguard protect her from Dr K. I hope that he doesn’t get killed. Her and Hee-woo are of like minds.Meanwhile back in the shed a meeting with his crew. Health drinks are on. I’m a bit worried about Jeon Seok-gyu. Is he going off on his own tangent not wanting to involve his friends in his own investigation.Did they really catch a fish when filming this drama or is this a demonstration of patiently waiting and you'll get the big fish. I find a lot of this drama kind of poetic with morals and proverbs within it. It suit my way of thinking.Seems like the crew is taking a big risk in this episode can’t wait for subs. Be of a somber mood here.So the son of Kim Seok-hoon is arrested again and by order of his own father. The daughter Kim Kyu-ri must find it poetic justice after what they were doing to her and her mother.Too hard to call it without subs be back later to update what really happened .Well what about Lee Min-soo. Is he really going to go up against Kim Hee-woo for Cha Tae Seob after everything that has happened to him and others? I can’t believe that, but I’m waiting for tomorrow. Only three episodes to go. I want it to last but can’t wait for the truth to come out.

Episode 12:That is strange Hee-woo and Han Ji-hyun went to the cemetery and put flowers on a grave next to each other, or is it the same grave. Who’s grave is that? They are both visiting.He tells Cha Tae Seob that he will take down Kim Seok-hoon. Is Cha Tae Seob going to agree to that or is he saying that he is over stepping the boundaries. He is in very dangerous territory. I so want to know what him and Han Ji-hyun are talking about when he leaves the complex. I see he is really polite to her. (He is saying he’ll keep his promise)Is Cha Tae Seob going to send Dr K after him again? (Scary thought)Hee-woo meets with Hwang Jin-yong again. With so much dialogue it is hard to deduce what they are talking about but Hee-woo seems happy with the outcome.He also bumps into Kim Han-mi his reporter friend who guesses that he is not really happy. They have coffee. Remember Kim Seok-hoon is her father. How will she feel if Hee-woo takes him down. Even if her and her dad have a fractured relationship because she was born to a woman not his wife. He did pay for her University Education. Hee-woo won’t want to hurt her as she is his close friend. They make a pink promise to each other during their coffee catchup. Is he going to tell her what he is doing. He looks kind of sad but agrees to the promise.What is Kim Seok-hoon up to. Is he going ahead with his plans to investigate Cheonha Group? Hee-woo continues to act pious with his colleagues at the precinct. Is his boss trying to take him down.I have so many questions when I’m waiting without subs. That guy is still following him(Hee-woo) and he has followed him to the training gym. His friends Kim Kyu-ri and Goo Seung-hyuk (both prosecutors) are there to meet him. He has got a job for them to do.Cha Tae Seob is investigating Hee-woo. Does he know now that Hee-woo is rich. Has he figure out that he want to buy Cheonha Group. He doesn’t seem happy with his discoveries.He looks worried, He is going through his file thoroughly. He calls Hee-woo to come. He questions Hee-woo. Hee-woo’s face is impassive but a muscle flick on his face and you can see his brain working. Looks like he’s been accepted and Hee-woo drinks with him and says thankyou . He acts his same condescending pious ways towards his superior. For now Cha Tae Seob seems appeased.Meanwhile Kim Han-mi is at her office talking to her boss. The boss looks a bit worried. What is that a money envelope she is giving him. She calls Hee-woo and says the job is done.Next day he goes to the jail to visit Jang Il-hyun. Han Ji-hyun is not that happy to see him. Even though Hee-woo is much smaller than him he walks up and confronts him face to face. He just speak softly to him and probably tells him that Kim Seok-hoon is the reason he is incarcerated and Hee-woo was ordered to investigate Jang II-hyun. Probably words to the effect: you help me and I’ll help you…..There is no honour amongst thieves. Hee-woo surely knows how to play these people.Next thing Han Ji-hyun arrives and the interview begins. Then they leave. Han Ji-hyun doesn’t seem that happy. Han Ji-hyun and Hee-woo talk outside of the prison and he give her a pen drive. Someone is photographing them for Choi Kang-jin. He is wondering why these two are meeting up. He thinks that Hee-woo is unaware that he is being followed.Hee-woo meets up with his boss Kim Seok-hoon and reports his findings about the Bando BankKim Hee-ah is meeting up with Cheonha Group subsidiaries and trying out products. They seem happy with her Leadership. She is speaking with her right hand man and doesn’t seem happy.Hee-woo is playing such a dangerous game. He is going with his boss to meet Cha Tae Seob. Nice food the boss Kim Seok-hoon seems confident but they are in the pit of the snake and Hee-woo is playing these two against each other. Will his plan work? So far so good but was that a wooded look that flash on Hee-woo’s face. He is called to Cha Tae Seobs house.His parents are feeding his friends when Hee-woo arrives. Seems like everything Is going to plan so far.Trouble in the prosecutors office.Wow! It’s so exciting when you watch with the subs. Is it fight time?They have lured Goo Seung-hyuk away into a trap. I hope Hee-woo is going to get there in time. Oh no! It’s Dr K. He going to be dead meat. So scary so very scary. I have to stop and just breath……….. Please hurry Wee-hoo but can he take Dr KI can’t handle it. Too much. He is there!…..at last. We are in for a big fight and he is all padded up for it too. Thick jacket. Let’s watch next week.

Episode 11:It’s ramping up alright. Cha Tae Seob in interfering in the running of Cheonha Group. So they are stopping the daughter from seeing her own father. Presumptuous! And Kim Hee-ah bodyguard is forcing their entry into the dads room. Not good…..the bodyguard could be next on Cha Tae Seob kill list. Hee-ah is so worried about her dad. She is the only one who knows that he is very sick.Hee-woo watches the news and now understand why Hee-ah said that they can’t be close friends. He is worried about her now.Looks like her brother is not open to her suggestions. She has a hard road ahead. Don't tell me they are going to kill that actress that the brother slept with??? The brother doesn’t know that he has stepped into a vipers nest. I’m sure he didn’t want that now he is an accessory to murder. She is one of Hee-woos witnesses. Guess she suicided!!! Another one. Hee-woo is reminded of his own so called suicide. So that is the great star that has fallen.This guy( Cha Tae Seob) is a serial killer and is emotionless about those he has killed. Just like a piece of rubbish put in the bin. What is going on in the prosecutors office? Choi Kang Jin [Prosecutor] has been promoted to take the place of Jang Il-hyun. Cha Tae Seob is trimming his bonsai. Who is he cutting off now??? Not the father I hope? He is teaching his subordinate how to cut off parts that are no longer needed on the bonsai…its symbolic of what he does in real life. It is getting quite scary. Who is he going to cut off next.Can’t believe it the father has come from his hospital bed to beg Cha Tae Seob. Is the son going to be charged for the murder of the actress. Cha Tae Seob seems heartless and doesn’t even ask him to get off his knees. So they are going back to a recording in 1993. I so want to know what it is about. The dad recorded it in his office. So are they going to kill him now? He is already dying!! So heartless. The dad is back in the hospital. Oh no! Dr K has arrived at the Hospital .How bad is that killing a man who is already dying.Hee-woo sees the announcement of his death……but is that Hospital work culpable in this death too. This is so sad and unnecessary. So killing the actress wasn’t enough for Cha Tae Seob. So the brothers war is going to start now.We are seeing the reapers Han Ji Hyun [Tae Seob's secretary] back story. Looks like her and her brother were in a fire when they were children a closet has fallen on her brother. Is Dr K her brother? So Cha Tae Seob is using both of them. Did he save their lives?The prosecutor have arrive at the Cheonha Group’s home. Is he(Kim Yong-jun) a suspect for the the death of the actress. Now Hee-woo is with the reporter reading her story over her shoulder. Their faces were so close he seemed a little unnerved by her. What is he getting her to do? He is drinking her drink. Now he’s getting his mate in Gimsam Oh Min-guk, an investigator to research something for him.Then he is reviewing his old dream with his real estate buddy, Woo Yong-soo. I think it is to keep himself focused on what his task is. He is always grateful to his mentor who helps him with his monetary needs. Then he is back to Park Sang-man his computer expert and hacker. He tells him all about the business trends and what is happening with the Cheonha Group.Wow! I was right he wants to take over Cheonha Group.Is Hee-ah investiging Hee-woo and Sang-man? She meets Hee-woo at the Art Gallery. They don’t seem that friendly. He looks stoic but the she bring up Park Sang-man. His face in indecipherable, cool and calm but he is observing her reactions and mood. She seems relaxed but he is not giving anything away. He seems abrupt and factual with his conversation. He seems earnest is he warning her. He doesn’t want her to be hasty. Is his eventual goal to take over Cheonha Group or have a hand at running it. Is she expanding into Foodology products?What is the Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok-hoon up to with Cha Tae Seob now? What is he getting Wee-hoo to do? He is meeting with his buddies at his training gym. Its a place where they can talk freely without observers and people will think they are just exercising. I wonder who they are playing to take down now?His friend Lee Min-soo is in court failing to bring down a corrupt banker. It's Marae Electronics CEOHee-woo has gone to Cha Tae Seob house-the danger zone. Scary. He is so confident. So that is my take without subtitles.

Episode 10:It’s already Episode 10. Can’t believe it it passed so quickly the time.Quietly in the background Hee-woo is causing Havoc by exposing the things that had been hidden so cover the multiple sins of those in high places. He casually comes into work. His boss is upset. This guy Choi Kang-jin is understand stress. He should have treated his girlfriend betterFor goodness sakes why are they all kneeling. These politicians. Wow! Did all these guys sons avoid military training? Is that really a big deal?Korean men in Kdramas are often portrayed as arrogant cool calm and practically sexless men but here they are getting sexual favours. Kim Hee-woo is portrayed as a passionless sexual being unaffected by the many women in his life.I wonder what is his,Choi Kang-jin bargaining point with Cho Tae Seob ? Oh! I get it now he has the video of Kim Yong-jun with the actress. He got it from his ex-girlfriend. How many other videos has he got like that.Is there a glich in their (Hey-Woo) plans? Now subs are out. I see there is. Choi Kang-jin has gone to see his ex-girlfriend and bribed her to be quiet. The doctor who gave exemptions from the military has fled the country. So their witnesses are nullified.Is our guy falling in love with this woman he hardly sees? No accounting for the heart. Look at that he took her hand. Big deal in Korean culture.Finally when her(Kim Hee-ah) brother’s affair with an actress is exposed in the media she caves and takes a management position. Looks like her dad though is not long for this world. Her oldest brother,Kim Yong-jun take the hand of the enemy because of his greed and anger with his siblings. There is sibling rivalry between the two brothers.

5 May 2022Without subs there was too much dialogue in this episode 8 and I barely got the gist that the accused medical student was found innocent and a serial killer was arrested instead for the murders of several women including the medical students girlfriend. Once the subs came on all was revealed as Il Hyun plans end up in disarray. Kim Hee Ah has hardly taken part in this drama but we a still totally mesmerized with Hee-woo and how his active mind is sorting their lives. Can't wait for tomorrow to see how deals with the task that has been set for him.Kim Hee-woo is arrogant but is reserved and self assured in his manner a man who calculates every step and every consequence.

I have been paying for and on the Viki.com site for a long time but one of my fans gave me the link to Dramacool - /dramacool9.movie/video-watch/again-my-life-2022-episode-9 so I have move to there to watch. It is awesome to watch it straightaway with subs but I’m going to go watch it again on Viki.comn without subs.What is happening is that the tension is building up and up as Hee-woo gets closer and closer to his targeted prey. He is taking down Jang Il-hyun and Jang Il-hyun’s girlfriend, Sung Jin-mi. So slowly the axis of evil is becoming unravelled as he first brings down the minions. He is working from the inside out. Next on his list is, Jang Il-hyun henchman Choi Kang Jin who is Hee-woo senior from back in their University days. Hee-woo needs to work with a Politician Hwang Jin Wong to help him bring down some of the evil minions. Hwang Jin Wong was once a prosecutor and is now an Assemblyman. Hwang Jin Wong does not want to work with him as he thinks all prosecutors are working for Cho Tae Seob. It takes all of Hee-woo previous experience knowledge for him to come on to Hee-woo’s side.In the meantimes in the background his and his three prosecutor friends (Hee-woo.Lee, Min-soo, Kim Kyu-ri and Jeon Seok-gyu) are helping to gather evidence for there cause.Kim Hee-ah, the youngest daughter of the chairman of conglomerate Cheonha Group is being pressured by her father to take over Cheonha Group but she doesn’t want to. She wants one of her brothers to do so while she continues with research. We see Cho Tae Seob working away trying to takeover this company.What I see in this episode are both sides maneuvering into their various positions to make a desperate move. Next episode tomorrow should be interesting to see what happens especially as Kim Seok-hoon has ordered Choi Kang-jin to take Wee-hoo down.

Episode 7:So they had had the big bust down at the wharf, and rounded up all the criminals at the various offices. Should have gone well. Yes! The three amigos have moved to Seoul but I sense a hitch in their plans.So they arrested the minions for, gambling, drug dealing, kidnapping and human trafficking but it seems like the Politicians have slipped through the net.Has he hired the strong guy to look after his parents? His parents are his weakness. He meets Kim Han-mi at his parents restaurant.The whole support team is together for dinner at the restaurant. The parents like Kim Han-mi. Only Kim Hee-ah is missing.Hee-woo and the strong guy challenging each other with their fitness. Has he met his match with Lee Yeon-seok. It will be good for him to have a large and strong guy like that on his support team especially with the likes of Dr K the assassin who killed him previously on the evil side. Dr K is so much bigger than he is.The story continues to ramp up a level but we love the way that it is free flowing and doesn’t have constant misunderstandings between the cast members. The fact that Hee-woo physical strength, intelligence, connections, and wealth, which adds a new kind of charm to the fantasy life-resetting drama concept. (Quote from Soompi)Their office at work is bugged but they know it. They are making their conversations suit their purposes.So is this meeting with the enemy? It looks like a politicians dinner.I'm wondering at this point in time, does she(Han Ji-hyun, Tae-sub's secretary) know the part she has played in getting him to this point.He has met a woman he arrested in his past. He introduces himself to her. Is he warning her or setting her up? He introduces her to Jang Il-hyun [Prosecutor]. He likes her. Is Hee-woo using them?So the intrigue carries on. Can’t wait to watch with subtitles and not my guesses.
