Probably won't be a lot like Alcott's "Little Women", and we'll probably enjoy it more if we don't cling to an idea that it will have much to do with the original. That's my plan, anyway. (I'm remembering how excited I was when I first heard that "Tempted" was inspired by "Dangerous Liasons", and you guys know how little that turned out to be.)
Welp. It's the last part of the show, and it wouldn't be a Kdrama if the writer didn't pull out the villains. Even so, I'm a little pissed that the writer is taking a show that's made me grin for 11 episodes into a direction where I'm afraid to watch episode 12 - 16 because Woo Young and her endearing love might be hurt in some way, even a little.
I hope the writer knows that if they allow Min Woo and Woo Young's not-quite-there-yet-but-maybe-horrible mother to ruin the vibe of the show, they'll need to leave S. Korea because people will hate them that hard.
I just can't get past episode 11. I decided to get over that, and skipped to the back end to watch the last episode. About a third of the way, my eyes rolled back in my head and I was afraid I was ded. I'm just going to call this a fail and give up.
Btw, wtf was FL's mom suggesting? If you want to become an attorney in another country you will have to study…
I think FL's mom will try harder to get rid of them, but I don't think the writer is going to lean on this idea very hard--and even if the mom tries, too many people have the FL's back.
I hope Min Woo will get the karma he deserves for being such a jealous and evil person cause of his superiority…
Min Woo is going to get a redemption arc and finish the drama as her strongest legal ally. I think. (Right now, he's weak and confused, but he'll be changed when he hooks up with Spring Sunshine.) You heard it here first :-)
Welp, I pretty much wanted to plant that knife Woo's father dropped right in Tae Soo Mi's black and selfish heart, but Woo's father did a very good job of expressing that for me. The whole scene was extremely well done in an episode that was full of very intense, very well acted scenes. Everything about this show has been superb.
Everything was reading along fine, and then that last sentence happened. Some way, some how, the character's "uncontrollable sexual desire" is going to cause a misunderstanding, or noble idiocy, or a divorce, or the truck of doom, but you can bet your a** that it won't be a good thing.
Show has a great cast, and the script writer has written some very good things in the past. High potential to be a must watch. Of course, it can also be yet another big, fat disappointment. Fingers crossed.
Very good chemistry between the leads--because these leads are expert performers. A light drama, as inconsequential as dandelion fluff, and yet another body-swap drama that avoids answering the questions that almost all viewers of body-swap dramas would want answered. Since the show avoids any of the interesting ideas and problems that come with an actual body-swap situation (I mean, wouldn't sex be amazing, at least?), it's quite boring after the first few episodes.
I liked it, but it's a show that doesn't really know what it is. Romance? Revenge? Makjang? It rings all those bells, but not convincingly. Elements of the show are absurd, and too many characters are cartoonishly evil. A fun and sometimes thrilling watch; a rare drama that needed more episodes.
"Would my mother have abandoned me, if I was a whale?" coming seconds after the description of harpooning baby whales so that their mothers, who refuse to leave their harpooned babies, can be killed made me cry like a baby. I won't be forgetting that for a long time. If ever.
I hope the writer knows that if they allow Min Woo and Woo Young's not-quite-there-yet-but-maybe-horrible mother to ruin the vibe of the show, they'll need to leave S. Korea because people will hate them that hard.
That's all I have to say on this, I guess.
