I did but it is at the top,.

I was responding to you but my computer was acting up.

Societal expectations play a huge role in shaping characters like Seri—sometimes acting as a guiding force, sometimes as a suffocating constraint.

Seri, is stuck in a tug-of-war between tradition and modernity. Her family, steeped in chaebol aspirations, likely expects rigid conformity, valuing hierarchy, control, and appearances above all else. But Seri challenges these conventions by pursuing what she wants, breaking away from the carefully curated path laid out for her.

In a society that emphasizes familial duty and status, her rebellious streak probably brings both admiration and criticism. Some might see her as a progressive, independent woman taking charge of her destiny, while others might view her as reckless, disrupting the fragile balance that holds her family’s standing together. The bad blood between her family and Boem Su’s adds even more weight to her decisions—her actions don't just affect her, they ripple across generations of grievances.

Ultimately, society’s influence on characters like Seri forces them into difficult choices: follow expectations and maintain stability, or defy them and risk everything for personal fulfillment.

It is a tangled web of family dynamics, societal status, and personal ambition! Seri's family seems to be facing the inevitable consequences of building their status on shaky ground—sooner or later, reality catches up. The contrast between their desire for recognition as chaebol and their behavior is striking, and it raises the question of whether status alone can truly override deeply ingrained habits and values.

Seri herself appears to be the disruptor, challenging both family tradition and social expectations in ways that make waves rather than smooth things over. It’s understandable that her approach might seem unsettling, but in many ways, she embodies a generational shift—one that prioritizes personal choice over prescribed paths.

As for the bad blood between her family and Boem Su’s, you're right; history and old grudges don't simply disappear with good intentions. If Seri pushes forward without her family's sanction, the tension might only deepen rather than resolve. And Boem Su, knowing the weight of that history, seems wise in his cautious approach.

There's a lot of layered conflict here, and it’s fascinating to unpack. What’s your take—do you think Seri should go her own way despite the consequences, or is she playing with fire?

Boem Su is a deeply private person who values keeping his thoughts to himself, even when curiosity swirls around him. His silence and noncommittal responses seem to add layers of mystery, making others speculate about what he truly feels. Kang Su’s assumption and the family's curiosity show how people often seek clarity in relationships, especially when someone’s actions spark intrigue.

In episode 31 he informed Gwang Suk and Chun Su that "Nothing has been decided yet, so don't get ahead of yourself. I will be in my room."

I liked her too with her perm and the dancer with his mullet, both provided my weekend comic relief with their antics. Quirky, offbeat characters add a special touch to a drama—they break up the tension and give audiences moments to just sit back and enjoy the ride. The hairdresser’s confident energy and the dancer’s throwback mullet—absolute gems!

Seri’s behavior is definitely crossing boundaries, and it’s troubling how she’s using Kang Su—who seems unaware of the full extent of her actions—to gain access to Beom Su and his family. If someone repeatedly ignores clear rejection and continues to find ways to insert themselves into another person’s life, it does start resembling stalking behavior.

Her approach—going through an unsuspecting third party rather than directly asking Beom Su—suggests she knows she’s overstepping but is determined to push forward anyway. This kind of persistence, especially when someone has explicitly said "no," can be harmful and invasive.

Do you think the drama will eventually address this as problematic, or will it continue portraying her actions as just misguided affection?

If Seri’s behavior isn’t challenged, it could send the wrong message about respecting boundaries.

The Unspoken Truth: A Story of Silence and Consequences

At Eagles Brewery, the storm has passed, but the air remains thick with tension. Beom Su has done nothing—no statement, no defense, no plea for understanding. While others have debated his intentions, questioned his professionalism, and written letters condemning him, he has remained still. Watching. Waiting.

Meanwhile, Seri has taken an unexpected step. Visiting Beom Su’s family, she breaks the cycle of deception and admits the truth—her feelings were hers alone, unreciprocated, misguided. It is a moment of rare clarity, but one that does not erase the damage already done. The accusations still linger.

Academic Affairs has now called Beom Su in. The weight of judgment sits heavily upon him, but he has yet to respond. His silence is not cowardice, nor is it complacency—it is calculation. A man who understands the system, who knows that words can be twisted, that perception often outweighs fact. But silence is a gamble, and the clock is ticking.

If he does not speak, others will speak for him. If he does not defend himself, he may never be able to. The choice looms before him: remain quiet and let the tides of speculation wash over him, or step forward and reclaim his own truth.

What will he do? His future, his career, his name—all hang in the balance.

It is true anybody can be a donor, but not everybody can be a parent - a role that makes or breaks a child.

NJ's close bond with his mother didn't translate into a nurturing relationship with his own daughter. While he relied on his mother's unwavering support, he seemed to absorb her selfish entitlement rather than her devotion. His choices mirrored his mother's prioritization of personal gain over responsibility—just as she exploited Seonju, NJ abandoned his child without hesitation.

NJ and his mother embody selfish entitlement, exploiting those around them without remorse. Seonju’s sacrifices meant nothing to them—NJ accepted her financial support while studying, only to discard her and their child once he returned. His mother took things even further, treating Seonju’s home like her personal supply closet, freely helping herself to groceries and possessions without a second thought. Their complete lack of gratitude or concern for anyone but themselves made them truly parasitic.

Despite their close relationship, NJ kept secrets from his mother, knowing she could weaponize them. Yet, those same secrets eventually drew him into a larger scheme—embezzling $25 million from the company.

His mother, always seeking comfort at others’ expense, continued her entitled behavior. SA was coerced into allowing her to move in. However, SA resisted her overbearing presence more than Seonju did, and when the CEO finally expelled them, their parasitic reign crumbled.

Through manipulation, deception, and a relentless pursuit of personal gain, NJ and his mother operated with a shared disregard for others, ensuring their survival always came at someone else’s expense.

Yes, they are both vain.

What is next - with $2.5 million in their pockets, it's anybody's guess where they will hang their hats.!

I will definitely watch it after Desperate Mrs Seoju.

My observation 32 episodes is normally 30 minutes an episode, equivalent to 16 hourly episodes. Lately they have included 8 hourly or 12 hourly episodes which can run for four or six weeks. Family daily dramas are normally 30 minutes daily for 100 or 120 episodes or weekends hourly on Saturday and Sunday for 50 episodes. Weekly or weekend dramas are normally hourly two episodes a week. Currently for weekends on Fridays and Saturdays or Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the week.

SW has been a better father figure than NJ. People like him do not deserve to be called a father.

For me, spoilers serve as a formatting tool that helps keep long responses organized and readable. When a response is lengthy, placing parts of it in a spoiler allows readers to expand and engage with the details at their own pace, rather than being overwhelmed by a massive block of text. This is especially helpful in discussions where multiple points are being addressed, as it prevents clutter while preserving depth.

Additionally, using spoilers can help maintain suspense or highlight important details in narratives, keeping engagement intact. If some believe the spoiler format has lost its essence, it might be because its usage has shifted from concealing major twists to managing readability. However, that doesn’t mean it’s ineffective—it just serves a different function depending on the context.

Yes, he is a loser through and through.

NJ’s self-importance is truly his downfall. He operates under the illusion that the world should bend to his desires, only realizing too late that Seonju refuses to be part of his selfish narrative. His actions reveal a man who prioritizes himself, only showing concern for others when it serves him.

It's almost poetic that he’s now trapped in the consequences of his own arrogance. The people he dismissed, manipulated, or betrayed have moved forward, leaving him marinating in his own failures.

NJ really thought he could reverse the damage, clean up the mess, and have Seonju tolerate the unbearable stench of his past mistakes—but reality hit him hard. She refused to lower herself to his level, and now he’s left stewing in the consequences of his own choices.

It’s poetic, really. He assumed that past betrayals could simply be undone with convenience, but Seonju showed him that some wounds don’t heal just because the guilty party wants them to. There’s a certain justice in watching NJ struggle with the very situation he created.

I only watched ep 1 decided to start watching it religiously later. But how do you find it? I have watched few episodes of Good Lucky, it is hilarious to say the least.

A new home would be a fresh start for everyone, not just Seonju. Instead of trying to reshape a place that holds painful memories, they could build something entirely new—a space where every corner is filled with their choices, their love, and their future.

A house is more than just walls—it’s the energy and emotions carried within it. If they move into the CEO’s home, they'd constantly be reminded of deception, heartbreak, and the tangled past with Soon Ae and SA. But if they create a new place, every step forward would be truly theirs, without the weight of old wounds.

It would also symbolize healing, unity, and a shared commitment to move forward rather than dwell on what’s been lost. The CEO can keep his house if he chooses, but Seonju and her family should step into a future free from its ghosts.

Soon Ae’s mindset is truly baffling—she’s completely detached from reality at this point! Instead of acknowledging the sheer magnitude of her daughter’s crime, she’s twisting it into some warped proof of good upbringing. The fact that she doubled down on the idea that SA was "raised well" despite the glaring evidence says a lot about her delusion. It’s as if she’s rewriting history in her own mind to justify her actions.

Her inability to recognize accountability could make things even more chaotic moving forward. If she refuses to acknowledge SA’s wrongdoing, what’s stopping SA from spiraling further? Delusion like this can be dangerous, especially when fueled by pride and denial.
