I consider Na Ra a wildcard after only 5 episodes. She might turn out to be as toxic as the rest of her family.…
Bold prediction: Seungwoo could potentially get in trouble for drunk driving and his parents are going to try to cover it up in true chaebol fashion...
Whenever Gichang and Seri's hostile takeover of YL group happens, they are going to expose this to the public. Seungwoo uses this as an opportunity to grow up and mature, etc....
If they do this, this would be an interesting parallel - Seungwoo handling his problem drinking in a more mature manner than Giman...

I think Yugyeong is going to be a much bigger threat to Doyun/Jaein than Nara will... I feel like Nara is most likely going to somehow end up with Seungwoo at the very end (hopefully they can influence each other to become more likeable people haha)
Until then, Nara will probably be a comedic relief character... she's not much of a threat. So far, her only "sin" is that she is annoying....
Then people get a strong FL and it's STILL a problem. 😂 Evil FL? Straight denial. Morally grey FL? "I don't…
You can say that again, I'll always prefer an evil/grey FL over the "bright personalities" (until they have their revenge glow up, that is 😭)
That being said, I don't feel as strongly about Jaein as some other people do. If she were smarter this would be a 10 episode drama not a 100 episode one lol. I think it fits that she's naive - it's a natural effect of growing up privileged and sheltered from the harshness of reality....
I would not be letting my husband sleep. I would have told him what I saw. and I would have sent it to myselfhow…
At the minimum I would've taken a picture and sent it to myself - probably do a little investigating on my own and once I get more solid proof... expose him!
Ep 5 is sooooooo .... perenial LOL so many women are pions of the patriarchal society and their husbands.... I…
If the pacing is good, Jaein's turn around may happen around episode 35-40. It also doesn't help that the affair itself barely got any screentime (which also pushes the main story back... smh) the screenwriter seems to think Giman is a main character for some reason?
Yes something is up with the CEO's wife. She was sitting in bed looking at him like she was trying to figure out…
This is an interesting theory - I took that scene as her looking down on her husband because of the potential of him grooming Gichang as his successor - and she is aware of the fact that Gichang is cheating since she saw the pictures. Like she was probably thinking "oh you have no idea..."
But now that I think about it, the CEO and his wife do feel kind of awkward when they interact.
Jae In should have done that to the BIL, and her husband is dirt for a lot of reasons, but he come in to his mother’s…
Right? It was actually funny because right before all of this, Gichang was ready to cut ties with his entire family but somehow everything got flipped around 😭 so frustrating
So your brother kidnaps your nephew for ransom $$$ and you and your family are complicit in covering up literal criminal acts but we draw the line at KNEELING? The gag is Jaein didn't tell them to get on their knees, that was Mommie Dearest manipulating everyone.
That entire bloodline is built different. Trying to make Jaein look like the bad guy here is crazy work - especially when if she really wanted to, she could've just had Giman thrown in jail. She has the money and the power to do so. (She should've done it)
Can't wait until this whiny drunk of a man-child either gets killed off or gets his much needed character development- and he's a paranoid drunk too (accusing Yugyeong of conspiring with Doyun? Girl throw the entire family away) ewww that part actually made my skin crawl. And double ew at the fact that the family from hell successfully made themselves into the victims when Giman literally committed a crime? Zero accountability! Nara is by far the least offensive member of this family.
And Seungwoo having a habit of driving drunk... ok... yikes. The side characters are awful in this daily. The ones in Cinderella Game didn't annoy me half as bad 🤣
I also feel like this fake contract business that Dohee is poking around in is probably what's going to lead to her becoming our token makjang casualty... Since it lead to her discovering the affair (which feels like it's been put on the back burner for everything else, but maybe that will change next week...)
Seri has started her plan of going nuclear.... She kicked her plan off at the perfect time - Jayoung isn't going to let this slide. Seri also being Kang Jaein is the biggest mystery of this drama - I really wonder how that came about. The episode ends with Seri pulling the good old "meet my husband" trick on Jaein, and it also looks like we will get more on Seri and Jaein's background next episode too!
Not me purposely not watching the last three episodes so I could start my weekend by binge watching this week's episodes
I find it interesting that Seri's name is also Kang Jaein. The "you will never be me" angle just got a bit more interesting.
I can already tell I am not going to like Jaein's brother. Gichang is an awful person, but he wasn't wrong when he was telling Seungwoo to chill out. On that same note, I don't really like Giman either (his mom is still my least favorite character here lol). Yugyeong deserves better 🤷🏾♀️* At least I find the main 4 characters somewhat interesting.
(*Edited to add that now that I see that giman was willing to work with criminals to kidnap his nephew for ransom money to pay off his debt, I can say that without shame lol. Let's see how Mommy Dearest fixes this. It's rich that she blames Yugyeong for her sons failures - can't wait to see her lose everything at the end 🤣
I have a poor memory so I must've forgotten 😭 Secret House is pretty good - it's a daily with a male lead and it feels pretty dark, as far as daily dramas go. I can't tell you much because I'm not even at ep 40 yet, but I can tell you that i'm into it more way more I am into BYS, like I have to talk myself up before watching that one 😅
Lol I'd take the money too. And flee to another country with it! I think Do-Yun's sister will die. I also saw…
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks that 🤣 if the chaebol heir of Samsung offered me 500 million won tomorrow I'd take that so fast their head would spin
Re: Do-yun/the actor that plays him was in the promise?! I can't believe I didn't recognize him! But I guess it makes sense, Uijoo (at least where I am in BYS) is more lighthearted than anything..... the cheating husband in the promise was a cold blooded schemer lol. His role in Queens House seems to be a happy medium - I think I can get behind this. As for Gichang, I'm hoping that Seri's evil antics draw a bit more charisma out of him 🤣 because rn his face is hard carrying his performance... not that I mind (for now) but I hope it'll be enough to keep me interested though the end lol
I also think that Jaein is going to disappear - and then come back with a revenge glow up lol. His sister could die instead of Boram (or they both could - depends on how far the screenwriter wants to go)
I am taking it slooooowly lol. Especially since Ji Suwon also played the antagonist in a recent drama I watched (Cinderella Game), and the evil MIL is played by the same actress who played the evil MIL in secret house, which I'm also watching 😭. Ha-min and the grandmother are keeping me invested in the story lol
This daily JUMPED into the drama with no warning! An affair, a child kidnapping, and classism in episode 1 alone.…
I don't have an opinion on Seri either.... yet! But i saw an article in the Soompi thread where the actress said the audience is going to end up hating her because of the apparent levels of schemes and manipulation that Seri is going to pull off. There's some potential there...
If Jaein ends up going to jail and getting framed for Doyoon's sisters death, I hope she goes full Yeonhwa when she gets out lmaoooo
Two episodes in and Gichang's mother has already become my least favorite character in the drama, I already know exactly what kind of mother in law she's going to be... they love making the mother of the husband in affair dramas be as tacky and obnoxious as possible, especially if the husband comes from a lower socioeconomic status compared to his chaebol wife. Jaein's family being classist towards Gichang.... not surprised to see that. I would not be surprised if Gichang (+ Seri) end up with control of YL group. I just wonder how... this contract storyline may be planting the seeds. There's a lot of people Gichang needs to neutralize in order to get away with seizing control of the company....
So it seems like in this drama, the male and female leads meet not through spilling coffee, hitting someone's car, (or my personal least favorite) sexual harassment as comedy (see: how Dajung and Yohan met in The Third Marriage) but Doyun & Jaein meet because Doyun jumped into action to save Eunho - I like that lol. This gives me hope that when the clock strikes revenge o'clock, Doyun is going to be an active participant. It's going to be so fun when Doyun and Jaein actually start bonding with each other... plotting... scheming... revenging, let me not get ahead of myself lol
Sidenote: It always kills me how in dailies whenever the leads are offered money as an reward, they turn it down, I know it's supposed to show their ~good character~ or something of that sort but I have no shame in admitting that if it were me I would take that reward and pay off all my debt 😭
We also meet Doyun's family this ep, and of the three families revealed so far, his is my favorite by far. Boram better not be the "precious person" who Doyun loses, but I'm expecting it to be either her or his sister. The scene with Boram and her grandmother was so cute. As for the other child character, I am glad the Eunho getting kidnapped subplot wrapped up fairly quickly - just like last episode, the affair was kind of put on the back burner for everything else. We'll get to see Seri interact with Jaein and Yukyung tomorrow. I am looking forward to it so we can better understand the Jaein-Seri dynamic.... I like Yukyung as well, so I'm curious to see how she fits into this group dynamic.
Speaking of Doyun, I can't believe I didn't put it together until now but he's Uijoo from Brave Yong Sujeong, which I'm currently also watching lol. I gotta say I'm happy to see him here as I "met" him through BYS, but I like his character here better (so far)! Looking forward to tomorrow!
Assuming you're talking about Nara's character, they're not the same actress but the dailies do tend to typecast for that role lol - I could see the actress who played Jieun also play the character of Nara.
