Watched the first 5 eps ... well, it's not bad. But it's clearly NOT GOOD AT ALL ! Without spoiling it, the big…
"Every ep is the same: the problem is the victim's fault." You have to rewatch them then, for you didn't understand the point of the episodes. Higashiyama's problem was overworking, she solved it by leaving on time. Shizugatake's problem was fear of criticism for being a mum, she accepted that she doesn't have to work more to show she is competent. Sakuramiya's problem was since employers said her design skills were lacking she should become something like a hostess, people stepped up for her and she learned her own valour.
You forget this show is in a different culture from an outsider perspective, how Japanese are taught since early that they have to obey authorities even contrary to their own sense of self.
Also, Higashiyama might not solve all problems, but she does solve some of them, and the fact that Taneda solves some as well is just because he is supposed to be sold as the hero so the viewers would want him to be with her. Just compare him to Higashiyama's fiancé, he seems like a nice guy, but the series doesn't seem to care to also show him as a pushover, your average viewer wouldn't want the heroine to end up with a "loser", but with a hero - enter Taneda.
But the cherry on top of your comment was the distasteful comment about rape, as it would be a trivial matter to be easily compared to what happens in the show.
All-in-all, your interpretation of the series should be revalued.
Can someone tell me what happened at the end after the credits; about his father? What did he mean about changing…
We don't know why, but the previous King Yeomra offered Kang Moon-jik his role for a millennium (probably due to the fact that his son, Kang-lim, left him to die), probably knowing that he would rule over those who die and live he accepted that role to understand why his son left him to die, but he asked to change appearances so his son wouldn't identify him right away. BTW that's why he offered his son the millennium contract, if he could ask for forgiveness from Deok-choon and Won-maek, he would be able to grant a chance for his son to ask for forgiveness for letting him die.
Ok, so I can't really speak englsh, I'm kind of slow AND I'm terrible with names... So I really didn't understand…
A Yoru na verdade era a irma mais nova, Yu. Elas eram gêmeas, Yu era a que sofria bullying com a irmã Yoru que morreu na "brincadeira" de se enforcar, quando Yu tentou ajudar Yoru ela não teve forças para segurar a irmã que estava se enforcando, Yoru começou a xingar Yu chamando de estúpida e afins, Yu não teve mais força nos braços e Yoru morreu. Talvez por não querer de ser mais aquele tipo de pessoa fraca que sua irmã detestava, Yu, disse que quem teria morrido teria sido Yu e quem sobreviveu era Yoru, foi então que ela mudou de nome.
so the sister gave birth to the brothers child? very confusing. but interesting story
yup, remember how she says that she loves secrets? And even her mum told the lawyer that she was mistaken? About Mitsuko being impregnated by her dad? Right after we are shown her brother. It is the kind of film that is better understood a second time.
