I wasn't supporting any narrative. I was saying "if you believe it is not a mistranslation, here is why it shouldn't matter". Have you even read what I wrote?

This comment section has become very political, so I'll share my unbiased non-political thoughts on the whole debacle, purely from a logical standpoint.

Whether it's a mistranslation or not, and looking at the context of the drama, it shouldn't affect how you look at the main lead now. Why? Because if it's true, he was doing what he was ordered by the people painted here as evil. So, his superiors were making the calls. Should've he refused and rejected the orders? Maybe, but you saw that he was already doing some other shady/bad stuff for them, and was trying to repent and live a life his daughter would be proud of. That's why he threatened to kill his superior if he wasn't let go. Whether it's true or not, I don't think the writer has painted it as an achievement as some people have said. The woman was just listing the tasks he executed. For all you know, the "terrorist groups" he eliminated, in whatever other countries (I forgot), might not actually be terrorist groups. He was merely a vessel who was doing what was ordered without asking questions, and that's why he tried to get away from them later on. That was the whole point of his background story. I thought it was clear he wasn't really a good guy before his daughter was born.

One of my favorite crime thriller of his is Ghost. The villain there is incredible too.
But Cain and Abel is my all-time favorite. However, it's more of a melodrama, even though there was some elements of a crime thriller. (Note: I watched Cain and Abel long time ago, so it might not be as good in the criteria of today).

You can consider The Master's Sun horror if you are afraid of ghosts, but the main character there is Kong Hyo Jin's character.

Yeah, the actress Jeon Hye Jin is good. The character Kang Jae Gyeong is evil but quite entertaining. I don't think two episodes are enough to enjoy watching her fall and also wrap the body swap and the father/daughter relationship too, though. I hope they won't wrap it too quickly.

The fact that it was the twin brother surprised me. I thought it was the husband's idea, since he was the one who pushed him out of the hospital room and yelled at the soccer player for trying to lift the sheets.

The way dramas usually go. This should've gotten boring by now, but it didn't. For that reason, I don't feel like there are only 2 episodes left.

This is getting crazy. I like it, but I'm so stressed. I hate Kang Jae Gyeong so much.

Do you think he's a 30 year old or something? You are talking like his wife is a minor. She is in her 30s. Grow up.

What's wrong with being a North Korean?

He also looks like her father. LOL
Actress Jin Kyung took care of herself so much so that the 10-year age gap felt like a 20-year age gap.

Is the end credit music inspired by Pink Panther or am I just hallucinating?

I guess the translator was trying to censor what he said because it was inappropriate(?), because it's like they didn't want to translate it literally, so they went out of their way to tell you the jest of what he said. Maybe it clashed with their morals.
Mine was translated correctly, though.

I keep thinking that it's like asking Shakespeare to write the script for a school play whenever Choi Min Shik is on. I guess I'm not used to seeing him in dramas, but I'm getting used to it slowly. The skill gap between him and others is so noticeable in such setting. He is such a masterful actor.

The kid is obviously playing the professor, and I'm hoping that the professor would notice before it's too late, but I doubt that would happen, since this is a thriller. Choi Min Shik, please stay safe. HAHA

No, but it's a part of being a coward. He actually stopped at first. I either remember or imagine his sister asking him to drive away. Either way, I'm not saying he is sinless, it's just that he is just a pathetic coward unlike his sister who is pure evil. You can tell by the scene where she tries to kill her father. Kang Jae Seong was reluctant to participate. He was shocked. She didn't bat an eye and even tried again. He deserves to go to prison for hit-and-run and reckless driving, but his sister deserves to rot in prison for two attempted murders and many other things. Their sins are worlds apart.

Yes, of course. Her father isn't an excuse for being evil. It just wasn't good parenting and it doesn't result in a good thing. You could say that she wasn't a good person but was charged (or triggered) by his father's messed up way of parenting. Whether she let her father's bad parenting affect her as an adult or not is her own choice. So it's not like she is an innocent victim.

I didn't say she didn't care that her stepmother was a maid. I said that even if she wasn't a maid, she would've been angry because he moved on too quickly. She would've found another way to insult her and object.

For your first point, the kid can be insulted by both. Even if you knew your dad didn't love your mother, you would be insulted that he moved on that fast from their marriage, regardless of who he is moving on with. Kids recognize the meaning of marriage and know that it's disrespectful to move on that fast from a marriage. It's also not a good look for her dad to marry this fast, whether he married a maid or not, she would be embarrassed either way, because it's like an announcement that her mother didn't mean anything to him or that her father couldn't wait to find another one. The scene where they introduced the baby to them explains her reasoning, she literally says that it's only been one year since her mother died. If that's not the issue, she wouldn't have mentioned it.

For the second point, the reason why the twins are fighting against each other is their father. He kept pitting them against each other even as adults with the last time being his announcement in the first episode. Even the youngest daughter felt the pressure of getting the company so that's not the difference between them. She was planning to come back and take it from the twins to prove something to her father before meeting him as the soccer player. Also, none of the twins was sold off to a political marriage. The guy married someone he loved despite his father not trusting her, and the woman married a "mere" doctor, not a chaebol.

I was mostly confused because he is listed as a main character. Meanwhile, he is more like a fly on the wall. HAHA

so it was a pointless character. Oh, well.

Flashbacks didn't tell you what was the reason for the last time he had done this. The female lead said that it's never this long without contact, so I thought this time it might've been a different reason. It's like a crying wolf thing. I don't want her to forgive him, and even if he had a really good reason for the last time, he doesn't deserve a second chance, but I'm saying that this is the typical path for a drama, so that there would be some tension, otherwise his existence is just boring/aimless.

Anyone recommends reading the webtoon simultaneously? Like reading only the parts that are out in the drama to catch any differences. I haven't done this before. I usually read either before or after watching the drama, but mostly before.
