Binge watched and loved it. Less lakorn-y than expected with some amazing twists. Truly a revenge drama with a stellar cast.

The grandmother is utterly useless. The family is supposed to help its members anyways, not just because they wronged the FL! What kind of compensation is that??

She probably always wondered if she would ever be next.

Over a bet no less… I would have divorced his hot ass on principle after finding out

You are making an excellent point with her broken trust in love due to her husband. I’ll argue though that the duke keeping a tally of favors owed works wonders, though. It has none of that scummy *I do it for free now but then expect you to reward me for being a good guy*. He told her he would come collect once she is better off- that leverages power!

I can buy a scorpion being used to treat her wrist (we DO use bee poison to treat arthritis and stuff), but they want me to believe she could stay out *alone* at a man‘s house, overnight no less??? No way. She would be disgraced and he might be forced to take her in as concubine if not wife.

He already did fall for her!

ML listening to FL give a lecture in art history: whelp, gotta wife her now

Happy Pride, fellow Asexual! And yeah, they are doing such a great job with the tension and yearning!

Her Bro was FUBAR but I enjoyed the ending when she turns out to be a femDom and ML switches into the role of her plaything. Good for them.

The milk thing is their safe word. And yeah… stay on for the ride! I expected something more vanilla myself😅

Does anyone know the song they play for the end credits each episode?

That would make perfect sense tbh

Episode 14, I don’t know who is responsible for the script but holy moly, what a dumpster trash fire. I hope the actors had support on set.

Ethics are taking a break while Dee is checking out his patient on his couch, half naked. And him getting shitfaced drunk doesn’t suggest an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, either. Tbh, I have to ignore a lot in favor of adults sorting out their issues and finding romance…

CTE doesn’t exist in this universe so I can enjoy a doctor getting it on with a boxer!

I love the grandma getting to subvert tropes by playing the guitar. For a hot second I thought maybe she used to be an idol? But the actress is an acclaimed writer, looks like she just was handed over the instrument instead of some kid wanting to be the next Jeff Satur.

Episode 7, she starts calling him on his bullshit and they start to get on even footing. Looks like he bit off more than he can chew with her after all.

Alright, looks like 50 shades meets revenge… the ML is unhinged and his red flag is only slightly lessened by giving her a safe word. I guess we will find out later how he is just a poor, misunderstood guy who deserves our sympathy after all? Until then, at least he is hot.

Did they imply the baby brother was gay or asexual?
