Random Series

A bit off topic, but it might be useful. I have now watched 4 episodes of "The 8 Show", also featuring Chun Woo Hee (it is an ensemble series), and I don't think I can finish it until I finish "The Atypical family".
The character that she plays is*URGGH*. She makes you want to strangle her lol.
All credit to Chun Woo Hee, but it is really hard to watch the same actor in two shows at the same time where you root for them in one, and absolutely hate them in another.

Does anybody know if she writing new drama?
In my opinion she should also try writing novels. Her writing is incredible.

Agreed, eventhough I don't really watch clips/shorts, but I take your word for it.

It is actually No.6 on Netflix including English language. So, it is very popular internationally.
However, despite being a fan of the series from start and I am happy seeing it gaining popularity, I want to STRONGLY make the point that popularity and quality are not the same thing. We shouldn't point out to popularity as a measure of quality or "proof". I am happy for the creators and cast of the show and all that, but I would still watch it even if it had 1% rating and never was on Netflix charts.
I think word of mouth is gaining momentum. Also, lots of people don't start watching from start. They build some episode "reserve" before start watching.
But, I also think the series doesn't have many "catchy" moments. It doesn't have overly romantic scenes, or overly emotional scenes (It hs few, but not massive like some other dramas).
Its strength is in being fresh, largely unpredictable, and just being good overall without being flashy.

I am sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you hated it. I was just trying to say that you have the right to.
I disagree with you on the interpretation of the scene. I think the scene will prove to be important in way or another once it is all revealed. Even if it is irrelevant to the story of the main couple, it will give us some important information for the big picture.
All that said, I can also understand your dislike of this device.

I don't have children, so I can't say with certainty. But isn't a 6 years old child too young to understand the nuances of pregnancy?

This is not about the writer being lazy.
This is just a device that is commonly used in Asian dramas. They reveal the full extent of the scene little by little.
First time I watched Japanese drama it surprised me, but eventually I got used it. It is in all Asian dramas.
Of course, you have 100% the right to still hate it, but my point is this is not specific to this drama, or this writer.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but not to the same extent. As @Ivy above mentioned, there were few important things happening, but I felt that the episode didn't justfy its time, and had a good chunk of filler.

I am just going float an idea.
Imagine if the Bok family didn't lose their powers, but they just got bored from accumulating wealth through lottery & stock. Meanwhile the scammers family wanted to scam them and get caught, but instead of going to Police, they team up doing some scams on some villians. The scammers with their skills, and Bok with their powers. And you can throw a bunch of side relationships between both families.
Not an original idea, but I think it could be a fun series.

Yes. I understand what the writer was going for by her giving up the ticket, but I don't agree with it, because it is a bit too much.
I feel that one of the charms of this series was the FL not being squeaky clean (at least for me), but we have been slowly moving to the typical damsel in distress scenario.
I don't hate it. There are some very sweet and touching moments coming from that line, but overall, the series loses few points for taking the safer route.

I didn't mean Dahee give the lottery ticket to the scammer mom (btw..I think she would have taken it, and wanted more). I meant she would cash it, and have those 2.3 billions in her bank account.
Then she can repay whatever the debt is and be free, and with some extra change to spare. She can donate it to orphans or something if she feels she doesn't deserve it.

I can't put my finger on it, but this whole "Uncle" being with them felt very cringe.
I felt those bubbles were outright silly, but maybe I am too old.
I also didn't feel there was a need for her showing us her tricks. It was mildly funny, but ultimately filler.
But, my biggest complain is her not cashing the lottery ticket. One thing being honest at the wedding and coming clean, another not taking the chance to get rid of your debt and gaining independence. That is just too much to believe.
Generally speaking, I thought she was more fun as a scammer.
But, I enjoyed Donghee & Grace love/hate relationship, and I like that Grace was asking for 25 billions. It is more believable.
The change in the scammer family is an interesting development, and overall, I am liking it, and must admit didn't predict it.

I have mixed feelings about E8. Probably the weakest overall......

Wow..that is savage lol
Sounds like a Greek tragedy lol.

That is fine :)
Us having different takes and opinions is a positive thing, and makes things more fun.
I don't come here only to listen to people who share my opinions.

Fair.
The truth is I haven't thought about it a lot, but I just think this might be used as shock value/plot device.

If you have access, try to watch "The Kidnapping Day". It also has an awsome relationship (and you got a lot of it) between an adult and child who are not biologically related, but develop a father-daughter bond.
And the child actress is absolutely fantastic (I think she won the Bakesang award for newcomer).

You can submit this request to The Olympic Commitee :)

That slap looked so real.
