There was so much to like about this show, but like so many kdramas, the ending is just so stupid! Please, can…
I feel like they both needed the time apart to heal from everything. It wouldn’t be healthy to just jump into the relationship knowing how much their parents hurt one another. They needed time for everything to settle so they could come back and start fresh. It wasn’t so much a break up but just a break.
In my opinion, I sincerely hope this will be a remarkable adaptation and not just a remake. Korean dramas are known to be wonderful at slice of life and hometown vibes.
I think they do need to cut a few things out in order to fit all the drama into 16 episodes. Let’s start with less screen time for the awful mothers. Eliminate the ridiculous and unnecessary love triangle altogether. It was a completely dumb misunderstanding and it took up so much time.
She’s not any better. Monotonous deliver, blank stares, pissy face all the time
I thought she was great in Fight for My Way when she played a comedic role. I fee like these chaebol characters are written from the same copy and paste format over and over again so it’s not much for the actors to work with. That being said, i wonder if she’ll improve once the character shows more depth. I would’ve loved for her to be cutthroat boss bitch but also fair and reasonable. So far, we’re given power hungry spoiled brat.
You know what’s sucks? I started to find the FL absolutely insufferable and then I thought, SO MANY male chaebols are written like this so why do I hate her? Because for whatever “hidden” reasons, she chose to protect her husband behind his back instead of showing him the respect she demanded for him from others. She berates him in front of others and is absolutely repulsive in her overall spoiled, bratty and selfish attitudes. I know they’ll give us some remarkable reasons after to make us sympathize with her later on, but it’s a hard one to keep my interest. I’ll wait until it finishes so I can come back to see if it gets better.
On a positive note, it’s so fun to see SO many familiar faces and veteran actors in one show!
I just finished episode 3 & it’s all over the place for me. I wanted the FL to be more cunning, more ruthless and just more… revengeful? I feel like PMY is not right for this role (again, I’m only on episode 3 so she could prove me wrong later) but it’s not giving me the revenge vibe I wanted. It’s giving me rom com but I’m not laughing. I LOVED the FL in The Glory, Perfect Marriage Revenge and Eve so I was hoping for more. She had all the reasons to be completely enraged and she felt flat. She would get moments of confidence and then shaken up by retreating back to her hermit self. I would’ve released all hell on this bunch if I came back from the dead.
The ML. Oh the boring ahjussi ML. Why did they do him dirty with the awful hair, thick glasses, hideous ill fitting suits and monotonous delivery each time? I don’t care for him at all.
I might be watching on speed just to get to the revenge part. Sigh
You’re absolutely right. This was an accurate depiction of the history of Joseon and it was just heartbreaking. I guess when we watch dramas, we want to escape from reality and see satisfying results.
Well, in her defence, she is supposed to be very young and immature and only grows up due to the adversities she…
Totally get that the character is young and naive but would honestly prefer him to be with a mature actress in a mature role. He was amazing in Autumn Ballad with that FL
I just finished episode 1 and I’m not thrilled that Jeremy is once again paired with such a young looking actress. She’s 24 looking 16. I know he can’t help who they decide to cast but why are the mature looking actresses not paired with him? This FL is ok to me so far. Her acting can be better because next to Jeremy, she needs to improve. Hopefully, she’ll prove me wrong later.
He’s been running most of season 1, huh? 🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t realize until you pointed out all the times he dipped. I meant when he went undercover. He asked if she could love him and forget her past love, but the heifer said no. It didn’t make sense why he would infiltrate the enemy’s camp and risk his life just because she rejected him.
Ah… I get it now. Yea, those were great reasons why she couldn’t back out of the marriage. Ok, I blame all on Ryang Eum then. Homeboy lied when she still had the chance to back out of the marriage.
