I just assumed the writer's intent was to show Taemin as he is - an asshole who mouths platitudes but is really nothing more than a rich cowardly bully. That bit about Hyoshim going to the police so everyone would find out was really him articulating something he's too weak to do himself - go public with his feelings. He's not thinking at all about the implications for her (she's the one who'll suffer if she goes to the police tbh). It's all him him him.

But then I've watched enough kdramas to accept the writer might actually think the whole thing is romantic on some level and the thought makes me want to barf.

If you enjoyed that, then you'll like this. It's actually better in my opinion.

That couple that took photos with Mokha deserved to be bitchslapped. Glad the brothers helped her handle them. Too many people like that irl.

He said that for the others' sake. To put their minds at rest. In that same conversation he admitted the possibility that the dad would come at them. Plus all the cctv cameras he has set up says he does not believe his dad will stay away. He hopes he will but he doesn't believe it.

There is a scene where Kiho's stepdad explains to the brother how they came about their new identities. The missing family with two sons the same age as Kiho and his brother. That's them. Once they're discovered, Kiho's family becomes criminals for stealing their identity.

It's worth watching but it might not be get-out-of-slump material. Depends on how deep the slump is tho.

What the entire fuck??? Between painting a target on Hyoshim's back and kissing her without consent, TM has entered his villain era. What manner of delusion is this? Hyoshim managed to get some small respite this episode but in swoops Mr Nice Guy to ruin everything.

Not mad that the mum took care of the debt with that watch. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Let him get a taste of what his sister has to put up with.

I had a lot of hope for newscaster babe but her lack of pride is making me cringe.

Nah. That boss does not have a filter. A client quit because he likes a trainer? The rumour mill will work overtime and before you know it Hyo-shim is a seductress who chases away clients. It'll ruin her reputation.

True. Wonder why they do that.

Not sure I have the stomach for another evil stepmother right now.

The pacing of this drama is excellent. No second wasted. Blink and miss something. Don't know if it's the actor's quirk or the character's quirk but the way Yi Joo widens her eyes is a little unsettling. Like a perpetual surprised look even when the emotion isn't surprise.

Curious to see how they wrap up all the loose ends + the time travel bit.

Introduction of the characters 10/10.

Went back to rewatch that scene and she made that comment looking at the video of her brother and SIL. They look "unkempt" and are on an actual alpaca farm. Not sure how that's racist when her comment is directed at them and not the country/people. Happy to be corrected.

Now if you talk about being classist and dismissive? Yes she was. Which is consistent with her character. She roasted everybody at that party.

Poison maybe? He's the first son with a stepmother. Then FL gets murdered right away. I smell a conspiracy.

Guess I can ignore all my misgivings for this. Off to watch.

My only hope is that people who dislike Song Kang's acting leave this drama well alone.

That said, pretty basic start. It's a story we've seen many times before. And the story will probably unfold in the same way. Even the side characters are not new. But, I'm a sucker for supernatural romcoms so I'm about to ignore every cliche and plot hole and enjoy the hell out of this drama. There will be no objectivity from this point on.

Will revisit the chemistry conversation after episode 3/4.

I read it as brought from Korea not Korean, re: Benz. So he can be a Thai racer living in Korea.

Started enjoying this from ep 3. It doesn't take itself too seriously (or maybe that's me not taking it too seriously). I'm pretty invested in how all the women of marriageable age end up from the sister-in-law to the three sisters to Son-duk. Hope the king supports the man of anger to the end and doesn't become another stumbling block to him.

This isn't a documentary though. Or based on actual events. It's not pathetic or weak to be uncomfortable with something immoral/criminal even if the setting is historical.

What's truly pathetic is one's moral compass tied to some half-assed idea of mental strength that is based on being able to bear with horrible things because "that's how it used to be". Tueh.
