One thing I find interesting about this show is how they are dealing with the backstory. I'm used to one of two approaches: They start in the past, with a few eps showing the leads prior life (ala BML, KtL) then time skip to the present, or, the more common approach in Historical Dramas where we open in the present, then flashback for an ep or two to the past to see how/why things happen.
This show is waiting until we're 10 eps in (at least) to start giving us the backstory to the characters past via dialog in the present. It seems like everything in this show is kind of different (to me, at least).

Yeah, I was shocked to see that, especially given how much we were accustomed to being dragged along by AOME. I'll watch Ep 11 here in a few mins while having dinner.

Color me confused.....at the end of today's ep (11), the exes walk past each other and look at each other. Yet, in the previews of 12, there is no mention of it????? They don't even recognize each other's face?

Bear in mind, that in AOME, this wouldn't happen until Ep 70 or so.....

This episode both asked and answered questions at the same time. I kept waiting for them to introduce some kind of backstory into the dialog.
So now, as has been posted, I'm trying to figure out the bloodlines of the kids (director & FL's friend) in that household.

TLIYE was messed up on so many levels. The only good thing about it, was that the child actress who played MinRinAe won the KBS award last December for young actor of the year. She WAS really good. I'm not sure if the prior daily's (BML) child actor who played HimChan won as well? He was great too!

Me too, I like the way the play off each other. Too early to call it chemistry, but they are fun to watch.

Thank you! This series is so completely different from what I've been used to.

Ha Young is the producer who is infatuated with the ML? I'm still trying to place names with faces.

I know, and I'm going to give it a few more eps. I really dislike the theme of a woman being manipulated to support her family, as this hits home for me with someone that is very dear to me (long story), plus it gives me the whole YeonDoo vibe.

I have to rewatch episode 8 to remember where we left off! FWIW, KBS America has those games on Primetime Sunday, so I'm not even sure if the weekend series aired this weekend.

Not gonna lie, I broke up laughing when she kicked that can of coke and it hit him. That was pretty funny.

I know, it's hardly "War and Peace" but it's light and cute; after AOME & TRHC, I need something like that.

The FL is kind of a kook, but it works for me since it's such a departure for Sang Ji from Seo DongHee in BML, that I enjoy watching her portray this character.

Thanks, Sher. I was hoping KBS would post one with pics of the characters (Like they did for IBN).

YES, PLEASE!!!!!

That's what has me confused...In the shot of her bedroom on Friday, it was nowhere to be seen. And I think he called his phone back and it didn't even ring, so the battery has died by now? I'm not really sure.

I didn't think she might have left it back at the theater.

Did I miss something, or doesn't she still have his jacket, phone, and wallet??? Did she toss them in the trash?

Yeah, all the characters still confuse me. I'm referring to actress Kim BoMi. She looks totally different in this one.

The FL's mom. Who always has her hair up - owner of the chicken store.

I guess she'll end up with the detective/brother of FL?

That woman looks so familiar, but I can't place her yet in my mind.

I haven't figured out where they fit in yet?
